Chapter 89: Liu Long
Wang Nan, 28 years old, graduated from Longhai University with a master's degree in broadcasting, likes sports, and after graduation he entered the sports vision to serve as a sports commentator.
After a year of errand training, he entered the football channel with great enthusiasm. After three years of hard work, Wang Nan became a very good commentator and was well-known. But he was not satisfied. Although football is the largest sport in the world, everyone knows what the situation of football in China is. On the contrary, basketball has maintained a very good growth trend since its establishment in China.
After his predecessors continued to try to attack the NBA, Yao Ming's success in the NBA pushed Chinese basketball to a staged peak. Basketball set off a craze at an unstoppable speed in China. Although Yao Ming's retirement caused a fault in the course of Chinese players' impact on the NBA, it did not have much impact on the development of domestic basketball. The basketball industry is booming in China.
In Longhai High School League, Wang Nan saw the opportunity. Four-year-olds, it is generally a newcomer. But Wang Nan decisively signed up to participate. He seized it, and this would be an opportunity for him to change from football to basketball.
Director Zhang, a former professional basketball player, has retired for many years. No one expected that Sports Vision would hire him as a commentator of Longhai High School League. This move alone shows the industry's emphasis on the high school league. If such a heavyweight was not invited, it would be not that simple for Sports Vision to get the live broadcast rights. Sports Network is also eyeing this.
"The Baichuan team's tactical proficiency shows that they attach great importance to this game. It is very rare to be able to master a set of tactics that they have never been exposed to in such a short period of time." Director Zhang took out an expert attitude and made a clear analysis.
"What coach Zhang means is that Qingteng team is already sure to win?" Wang Nan continued to ask. Baichuan team was suppressed by Qingteng everywhere on the court. The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Wang Nan wanted to find more topics to increase people's interest in continuing to read.
"It's almost the same. The Baichuan team didn't expect that the tactics were easily cracked by the opponent. The psychological change was the biggest enemy. Look at the exhaustion of the Baichuan team, it was obvious that they were mentally retiring." Director Zhang continued to analyze.
"Yes, Qingteng team was the champion in the last session. This year, he also won the newcomer King Ge Yizhe. Ge Yizhe, who performed calmly in the opening game, finally ushered in an explosion in this game. Now it seems that Ge Yizhe is very likely to get a triple-double data. In that way, he will become the youngest three-pointer in the Longhai High School League. What do you think about Ge Yizhe, Coach Zhang?" Wang Nan said.
"Ge Yizhe's talent is there, all of which are visible to the naked eye. Passing is his greatest weapon. The sensitivity on the field is not something you can get through acquired training. This is a natural talent." As if hearing the explanation of Director Zhang, after Ge Yizhe broke through, he shot the real pass to attract the attention of both people. The ball was thrown to the basket, and Wu Xiang's slashing into the slash of the slam dunk shocked the whole game. "I played such a tacit understanding with my teammates in such a short time. Ninety-five percent of the credit for the previous goal was attributed to Ge Yizhe. Wu Xiang was just putting the ball into the basket. Ge Yizhe's joining was a perfect addition to Qingteng Team. He integrated the entire team and liberated Wu Xiang's pressure. Qingteng Team this year is still unstoppable."
"Of course, Ge Yizhe has no shortcomings. In junior high school, his outside shooting and his personality are uncertain factors. I don't know if he will make targeted improvements to these weaknesses when he is in high school." Wang Nan also did his homework, and even knew about Ge Yizhe in junior high school.
"Yes. No player is perfect. Ge Yizhe has a very good foundation. I believe that as long as he is willing to work hard, his outside shooting will definitely improve. His rebellious personality is Ge Yizhe's characteristic. If he kills this, he will no longer be Ge Yizhe. Of course, he needs to learn to calm down." Coach Zhang added.
"Ha. It seems that Coach Zhang admires Ge Yizhe very much. I wonder if he will have a chance to enter the professional league in the future?" The question mentioned by Wang Nan successfully attracted everyone's attention.
The professional league is undoubtedly the Mount Everest of all basketball players. Being a professional player means that their basketball career ushers in a new chapter.
"Everything has hope. Ge Yizhe is still sixteen years old. His future is still long. Stay focused and keep your confidence, and he will have a bright future." When talking about professional players, Director Zhang, who has always been bold, restrained a little. His words are a bit vague. There are more than tens of millions of players in the national high school league, but the players who can enter the professional league in the country are all elites, and there are only a few hundred people in the country. The elimination rate is very, very high.
"Haha. Ge Yizhe, our highly anticipated newcomer king seems to have adapted to the rhythm of the high school league. What awaits him is to flap his wings and fly high to show his talents and talents to everything. With Wu Xiang's growth and Ge Yizhe's joining, the future of Qingteng Team looks bright. Of course, we must also see some hidden dangers when seeing the beauty." With Wang Nan's words, the scene shots were given to the end of the bench of Qingteng Team. This is a very familiar face for those who are following Qingteng Team.
Liu Long, sixteen years old, is a sophomore in high school. He took over the heavy responsibility of senior in the first year of high school and served as the starting point guard of Qingteng team. He is 181cm tall and has a moderate physical fitness. He plays maturely and has a stable and lacks creativity. Last season, he was one of Qingteng's championship projects. He averaged 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.5 blocks, 0.9 turnovers, and a shooting percentage of 47.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40% is a very high shooting percentage.
As the third leader of the team, Liu Long's data is outstanding enough, but his playing style makes him less powerful on the court. Not to mention Wu Xiang, even compared with the second leader Shen Lin. The data of him and Shen Lin have their own advantages, and they are just as good as each other. If Qingteng team had not obtained the newcomer King Ge Yizhe, no one could have replaced him.
Talent is an inescapable problem on the basketball court. The reason why Ge Yizhe was able to replace Liu Long was because he gave people the upper limit he saw. That was something that Liu Long could never reach. Liu Long could excellently complete the role of the third or second leader of the team, but his playing style and talent limited his ability to become the core leader of the team. What Qingteng Team needed was a core leader who could replace Wu Xiang.
Liu Long was thrown into the substitute, and Qingteng was also helpless. The two happened to be in the same position. Qingteng also tried to let Liu Long play the shooting guard before the start of the season, but the effect was not good.
