Chapter 76 Challenging the Duke Blue Devils
"YES!" Zhao Peng celebrated with fist fights.
He turned on the system reward, and the reward the system gave him was a [Catch and Shoot] badge.
"[Catch and shoot]: Blue badge, improves the stability and speed of the host's shot directly after catching the ball."
Then, Zhao Peng discovered that his mid-range shooting attribute had improved to 78, which was already beyond most NCAA Division I players.
Looks pretty good!
Zhao Peng pursed his lips.
This reminded him of Hamilton, the masked man from the Pistons in his previous life. He would run around on the court like a madman, and then use the cover of his teammates to quickly find opportunities to shoot.
This skill does not require high physical talent, but it does require extremely high physical fitness.
He looked at his physical ability, which was only in his early 60s, and fell into deep thought.
This attribute can only be regarded as average in the NCAA. If you want to be noticed by league scouts, you must first kill in the NCAA.
Therefore, physical fitness must be developed.
Physical fitness is the best thing to train, but it is also the hardest.
After all, which athlete has not experienced the fear of being tortured by speed endurance training?
In his previous life, Zhao Peng himself was a track and field coach, and he understood this very well.
But he had no fear, instead a blazing fire burned inside him.
As long as there is even a one in 10,000 chance of entering the NBA, you have to work hard even if you vomit blood!
Next, the team's lineup was finalized one by one.
Coach Anzo tore out the middle pages of the tactical manual.
This tactical manual was written in advance. Coach Anzuo has already thought about the team's style of play for the new season, but only the column for the players' names is empty.
Anzuo wanted to finalize the final lineup arrangement through today's training.
After he hand-wrote each player's name on the handbook, he handed them into each player's hands and asked them to read and sign.
Zhao Peng took over the rotation list. He could hardly believe his eyes -
"Player name: Zhao Peng, rotation time: 16 minutes, first position: shooting guard, second position: point guard (starting)"
what does that mean?
NCAA games are divided into two halves, each of 10 minutes, for a total of 20 minutes.
Coach Anzuo gave Zhao Peng a 16-minute rotation schedule at one time, which made it clear that his position is the core of the team's core!
The coach thinks so highly of Zhao Peng that he doesn't give in too much.
He took the lead in proposing to elect Zhao Peng as the captain of the cavalry.
Zhao Peng was a little flattered, but under the watchful eye of Coach Anzuo, other players also supported Zhao Peng as the captain.
Happiness came so suddenly.
"Come on, Zhao! It's all up to you from now on!" Ben was very excited about his suggestion. He came over and bumped Zhao Peng's right arm with his fist.
Zhao Peng's palms were almost burning when he thought about facing the same city derby match the day after tomorrow.
He wanted to prove himself too much.
Turning to the next page, Zhao Peng saw his tactical arrangements, which only had two paragraphs.
"As the initiator of the offense, your teammates will set up pick-and-rolls for you and find any opportunity to shoot by running frequently."
"Remember, your only job is to put the basketball in the basket."
Zhao Peng is a bit eager to try. His mid-range shooting ability, catching and shooting ability, and abnormal braking ability are a perfect match for his on-court duties.
All he needs now is a chance to prove it.
However, Zhao Peng is still a little curious, that is, what are the tasks of other teammates?
The game the day after tomorrow has a special meaning!
He must not delay and adjust well with other teammates.
After laying out the playbook, Anzo left the field and arranged for the players to discuss it among themselves.
This has always been his coaching style - never talking too much.
Because he wants players to feel the true meaning of basketball tactics through their own understanding.
After all, campus basketball is not an NBA professional league, and Anzuo wants to use this method to train the players' thinking.
But the game the day after tomorrow is particularly important!
Without too much delay, Zhao Peng, as the new captain, and Ben immediately gathered the other main players and sat together in the middle of the basketball court after training.
When everyone gathered together, Zhao Peng was dumbfounded.
Apart from the two of them, the main lineup has undergone considerable changes.
Many of the older players from the past did not make the starting list this time.
Zhao Peng is responsible for playing shooting guard, and Ben is responsible for playing center. This is not a problem, but the rest of the lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Some players are also freshmen who have just come up this year. Zhao Peng has not had much contact with them, so he can only have a slight impression of them.
The power forward who entered the starting lineup this time is called DICKLONG, nicknamed "Big Black Dragon".
He is a senior black power forward who is 2.05 meters tall and one-eighth of Italian descent.
This guy is an old acquaintance on the team. He has been the starter for three years since his freshman year.
However, everyone knows that this guy has no independent offensive ability and his golf IQ is basically negative.
But his bounce is amazing, so he is good at protecting backboards.
In fact, what impressed Zhao Peng the most about him was that he claimed to have slept with more than 1,000 girls in the past three years in college, but everyone usually just listened to it for fun.
According to this frequency, the big black dragon has long been squeezed dry.
In fact, "Dick Dragon" is just his nickname. He has never mentioned his real name to other teammates, he just likes to be called that.
He is the kind of player who likes to brag, but he is also very mobile. After all, he and Xiaode worked part-time selling pornographic discs on campus and actually made a lot of money.
Moreover, when he made money every now and then, he said that he would treat people and take Zhao Peng to a local nightclub to have a meat show, and he also said confusing things like "I have to do a full show".
However, Zhao Peng still rejected him, partly because Zhao Peng felt that as a player, he should focus mainly on the training field.
On the other hand, it is also because Zhao Peng is not particularly interested in those black girls - it is difficult for him to not be picky about food like the big black dragon.
The point guard selected as the main team is Lippi Degujia, the little German who sells yellow discs in partnership with the Black Dragon.
In fact, he is mainly responsible for standing guard, pimping, and selling goods. The big black dragon is responsible for it.
Djokovic is a white defender with a height of 1.85 meters. He is a freshman with average athletic ability, good shooting, and good organizational skills.
It's just that his defense is a bit poor, both on the court and in sales!
Big Black Dragon often complains about this to everyone. After all, once the principal walked past Xiao De without seeing it, so the entire box of discs was taken home by the principal himself and confiscated.
Small forward Rich Tillman, a freshman, wears jersey No. 8 and is 1.98 meters tall.
Nicknamed "Old Iron", he is a well-known thug in the team and is known as "The Invincible Iron Fist".
Lao Tie is full of tendons, and his offensive skill is to carry his opponent to the layup.
His mood is relatively radical, and he is the kind of person who I can tolerate if he offends me.
But if someone offends my teammates, I will cut off their heads and fart.
Many opponents commented that Lao Tie is a psychopath who can attack at any time, but his popularity in the team is still very good because he is a taciturn type in front of acquaintances.
Several people exchanged each other's tactical arrangements, and then began to think about each other.
Zhao Peng collected everyone's tactical arrangements and after reading them several times, he somewhat understood what the coach meant.
After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "Coach, is he planning to let us play run-and-gun?"
"Run and gun? What do you mean?" Ben asked.
"Look... what are the characteristics of Anzuo's selection this time?" Zhao Peng then spread everyone's tactical arrangements on the floor and asked.
"This time... I feel like we didn't use many old players. We only used three freshmen!" Xiao De looked around and said.
"Yes, and everyone's card says to speed up the pace." Lao Tie said immediately.
"Yes, there are no big players in our team, so the coach wants to strengthen the offense through running and gunning this time," Zhao Peng said.
"No wonder, I've been practicing running recently, which makes everyone vomit. It seems that we are going to have a good fight against our opponents." The big black dragon also understood what Zhao Peng meant.
"It's just that... the preparation time is too short. If you don't get along well, you will definitely be laughed at!"
Chapter completed!
