Chapter 254 Going to the Sports School for Help
After the last class of the day, Zhang Xincheng went to bring dinner to Zhan Mengyan. However, he did not find Zhan Mengyan in the first class of the first year of liberal arts, so he had to eat dinner by himself and then went to the evening self-study.
After the last class, Zhan Mengyan walked out of the classroom with her day students. She didn’t want to rely entirely on Zhang Xincheng, and she wanted to solve her own accommodation and food problems.
Zhan Mengyan came to the county sports school. She quietly walked into the training ground and saw the players wearing sportswear. Coach Zhao Shimao was strictly checking everyone's equipment. Then he practiced dribbling, doing various movements with left and right hands, one hand, between the crotch and behind the back. His movements were smooth and silky.
"The basic dribbling action may seem simple, but to be able to do it well on the court, you must practice diligently. When practicing, always remember that the elbow is the axis, the forearm follows the basketball, and the ball is as high as the elbow joint; shooting action: the body is parallel to the backboard, facing the basket, the feet are naturally separated, the fingers are parallel to the ground when holding the ball, and the forearm is perpendicular to the ground. When shooting, use the wrist to move the basketball with the index and middle fingers, and the waist and thighs work together. In a while, everyone will practice half a small pass to each other. The passing action: squat naturally, separate your hands, and point your fingers upward. When passing, use the thumb, index and middle fingers to move the basketball, and rotate your hands. When catching the ball, you must grasp the landing point. After receiving the ball, , quickly receive it in front of the chest, and pass it out quickly. Practice layups, practice them together with shooting, and become proficient. Layup movements: from the left backboard, step forward with the left foot first, then step over with the right foot, push the ground with the right foot and bounce, lift the left foot up, stay in the air, flick the ball for a layup with the left hand, the direction is 45 degrees at the backboard, flick the ball for a layup with your fingers, throw it up, hit the backboard, and bounce it into the basket. The movements should be natural and smooth, and the right foot is the opposite. Correct posture: open the five fingers of the right hand to hold the ball, leaving the palm empty, the wrist and elbow are 90 degrees respectively, forming an incomplete square, and the arm is naturally pushed forward when shooting. Pay attention to the shaking of the wrist or the feeling of the fingers shooting..." Coach Zhao was talking and performing the movements at the same time. Zhan Mengyan listened attentively and watched so absorbed that she even forgot what she was doing here.
The players enthusiastically participated in the basketball training. They passed the basketball back and forth and skillfully used various techniques to put the basketball into the basket. Everyone was concentrating and enjoying the happiness brought by the basket.
At this time, Zhan Mengyan also had to join the training team. She was embarrassed to find that her clothes were out of tune with others.
"Zhan Mengyan, when did you come?" Coach Zhao excitedly spotted Zhan Mengyan and quickly took a basketball and threw it to her.
Zhan Mengyan received the ball, as if she was stroking her own pet, familiar and intimate. In an instant, the basketball seemed to be attached to Zhan Mengyan's arm, flying lightly to her rhythm. Her series of movements were as smooth as flowing water, without any stagnation. She cleverly bypassed Coach Zhao's defense and appeared under the basket with a standard shooting posture. Her movements were smooth, like an archer with a full bow, shooting the ball towards the distant bull's eye.
As the basketball fell from the basket, Coach Zhao and several players burst into warm applause.
"How about it? Zhan Mengyan, have you thought it through? You came here uninvited today. Are you planning to join our sports school?" Coach Zhao said happily.
Zhan Mengyan's face quickly darkened, and she told Coach Zhao in detail about her experiences over the past few years and her current situation.
Coach Zhao felt overwhelmed at one moment, and worried and distressed at another.
Coach Zhao patted Zhan Mengyan on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Zhan Mengyan, according to the regulations, I can't take you in at the sports school, but I promised you to help you. Our sports school has accepted many new students at the beginning of the semester. The old students have graduated, and the new students have no experience and technical level on the field. We will have a friendly match with the Heishan County Sports School in a while. Our principal gave me an order that our sports school must win this game. I urgently need a basketball player like you now. The principal of the sports school tacitly allowed me to find basketball players outside the school. You came at the right time. Now you can come to the sports school to participate in basketball games and training every day instead of attending evening self-study in high school. You can eat and live in the sports school during this time, but if there are no basketball games, our sports school can't keep you. And in every basketball game, if you score a goal, you will be rewarded with one yuan, and if the basketball team wins the championship, you can get another five yuan. Do you think this can solve your urgent needs?"
"Great, I accept. I will attend the training today!" Zhan Mengyan felt like she had found a life-saving straw, excited and thrilled.
Coach Zhao was touched when he saw Zhan Mengyan's happy look. "Zhan Mengyan, you should take a rest tonight. I will ask Teacher Shewu to take you to the dormitory to make arrangements. You should review today's courses in the dormitory first. You can't delay your cultural studies for basketball training. Don't forget that your original intention is to prepare for the college entrance examination three years later. You are just staying at the sports school and helping our sports school to play games. Don't put the cart before the horse."
