Chapter 3
Claudia Irwin didn't give an answer in the end.
Wang Ke put these aside for the time being and started a more crazy training in the past two days.
Oakley didn't give Wang Ke training guidance every day, he didn't have that much time.
Basically once every three days!
Oakley would contact Wang Ke one day in advance to inform him of the specific time!
Oakley is still very reliable in this regard and keeps his promises!
Wang Ke also needs time to digest.
In the past 10 days, after seeing that Wang Ke's physical talent has been fully demonstrated, Oakley also began to instill the concept of confrontation and defense into Wang Ke!
[The focus of confrontation is not on whether the body is strong or not, but on the mind! ]
[When you are not afraid of confrontation and enjoy confrontation, your confrontation ability has already exceeded many people! ]
Wang Ke is standing in the training hall at this time, and the scene of Oakley's teaching appears in his mind again.
Oakley's tonnage is only 102 kilograms, which is a huge difference from Wang Ke's tonnage of 133 kilograms!
But when Oakley demonstrated the confrontation, Wang Ke found that he could not easily gain the upper hand!
Oakley's fierce confrontational posture and ubiquitous small movements made Wang Ke feel very uncomfortable!
At this moment, Wang Ke understood what [the focus of confrontation is psychological] meant!
There are many players with [cleanliness] in the league!
They often look tall and strong!
But the actual confrontation effect is very poor!
They are often called [soft eggs]!
And players like Oakley, Rodman, and Ben, who are not tall, have become [bad guys] in the league!
No one dares to ignore the inside line they guard!
[The focus of rebounding is to position! When you have a perfect position, many rebounds may be taken by your teammates! But your own rebounding data will definitely not be bad! ]
[The focus of protecting the frame is not to jump easily! Your height and arm span can be said to have reached the ceiling of the league! So, I suggest that you don't jump if you can in defense! Hold your defensive position, and no one can easily score in front of you! 】
Oakley's words and teaching scenes kept appearing in Wang Ke's mind!
Wang Ke absorbed these basketball experiences almost greedily!
In the dilapidated basketball hall, Wang Ke stood alone on the court, looking a little lonely!
But at this time, Wang Ke opened his arms and moved his feet quickly, as if he was playing a fierce basketball game!
…
"Hi!"
"Hi! Claudia!"
Two days later in the morning, Wang Ke got up early.
For the afternoon basketball game, Wang Ke subconsciously felt nervous and excited!
And as soon as Wang Ke walked out, he saw Claudia Irving standing at the door, as if waiting for him.
Claudia today seemed to be deliberately dressed up.
However, the look she gave Wang Ke was still a little evasive!
The whole person seemed at a loss.
"Waiting for me?"
Wang Ke asked with a smile.
"Yeah!"
"I took a day off!"
"Aren't you...going to play a game?"
"Senior asked me to go...to cheer for you!"
Claudia mustered up the courage to look into Wang Ke's eyes, then lowered her head and looked at her toes.
Wang Ke looked at Claudia carefully.
She was over 1.8 meters tall and looked a little thin!
She always wore glasses and a hat, and her hair was tied up, covering her face, making it difficult to see her true appearance!
"Let's go!"
Wang Ke stretched out his right hand, and Claudia avoided it.
Wang Ke shrugged and didn't care!
But after walking down the stairs, Wang Ke felt that his right hand was held!
Wang Ke smiled!
...
Charlotte can be called a forest city!
Only in the city center does it have some urban atmosphere!
Other places look no different from the countryside!
Charlotte's most developed industry is the financial industry!
Two of the four largest banks in the United States are headquartered here!
The basketball game that Wang Ke will participate in this time is a product promotion event held by the credit company, a subsidiary of Wachovia Bank in the United States!
Two years ago, the Hornets moved from Charlotte to New Orleans!
The league officially promised that Charlotte would have the opportunity to form a new team to participate in the 2004-05 league competition!
Robert Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, became the owner of the new team in Charlotte!
He is also the first black owner in the history of the league!
The new team was named the Bobcats!
It will officially join the league next season and become the 30th team in the league!
It is precisely because of this that the basketball atmosphere in Charlotte has become more and more intense!
This time, the product promotion of the basketball gameThe promotional activities also attracted a lot of attention!
When Wang Ke and Claudia arrived at the Charlotte Arena, it was still early!
The venue was almost set up, but the organizer of the game was obviously not in place!
This was not a formal game, so there would naturally be no pre-match preparation and training.
Basically, the players from both sides started playing directly after arriving!
Wang Ke and Claudia looked at each other and fell into a somewhat awkward situation for a while.
Is this... a date?
Wang Ke scratched his head.
"How about I invite you to go skating?"
Wang Ke made a suggestion!
...
At 1 pm, the number of people in the Charlotte Arena had begun to increase!
The players from both sides who participated in this game also came to the arena in twos and threes.
"Oh! My.god!"
"The big guy on the opposite side is so tall!"
"This game will be so exciting!"
A naturally cute player exclaimed!
If it weren't for his height of over 1.8 meters, many people would have mistaken him for a primary school student!
"Stephen!"
"Are you scared?"
"He's a hot player in the league draft next season!"
"He's already firmly in the lottery zone!"
Someone on the side said.
"Scared?"
"Would I be scared?"
"I'd shoot them in a mess!"
As the top scorer at Charlotte Christian High School in North Carolina, this high school student named Stephen Curry seems to be extremely confident!
Curry actually sneaked out to participate in this game without his father's consent!
Because Curry really wants to see an adult game!
High school games are no longer very attractive to Curry!
"I heard that we have a big guy here too!"
"But I've never heard of his name before! Wang Ke? Where did he come from?"
"Look! Here he comes!"
"Oh! Sh**t! How come he's so tall?!"
When Wang Ke walked into the gym, he immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Because he was so tall!
The big guy on the opposite side, Rafael Aluyu, also looked at Wang Ke!
Rafael Aluyu is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 127 kilograms!
Compared with Wang Ke at this time, he still looks a little small!
He is not American, but a Brazilian!
He is playing in the NCAA at the University of the United States and has already announced his participation in the draft next season!
"Oriental face?"
"Asian?"
Rafael Aluyu shrugged, glanced at Wang Ke, and then retracted his gaze.
An unknown Asian player would naturally not be taken seriously by Rafael Aluyu!
He is a serious draft hot player!
If the organizer of this game hadn't given too much money, Rafael Arruyu wouldn't be on the court at this time!
On the other hand, since the Bobcats are a new team joining the league next season, they will definitely trade the top three picks to select a cornerstone for the team!
Rafael Arruyu also wants to use this game to improve his popularity and increase his chances of being selected by the Bobcats!
For Rafael Arruyu, this is a bully game!
