Super Role Player

On July 12th, Capital Time, the Huaxia Basketball Youth Training Camp located in the suburbs of Shanghai welcomed a group of new members.

A group of children aged seven, eight, 11, 12, 12 or 13 years old, wearing special jerseys, entered the stadium with laughter and joy.

The leader is a domestic coach named Fan Weidong, who is responsible for domestic youth training.

This time Anxi brought this group of experienced and skilled coaches from the United States. It is also a happy event for these coaches who are specifically responsible for youth training, because they can use this youth training camp opportunity to make themselves Make some progress.

Anxi has been waiting in the arena for a long time. In fact, after returning to China, Anxi still developed the habit of getting up early to train.

When Fan Weidong and the others arrived, Anxi had already been training for two hours. He had just taken a shower in the locker room and welcomed Fan Weidong and the others refreshed.

"Coach Fan, welcome..." Anxi was still very familiar with Chinese politeness. He greeted Fan Weidong for a while, and then a group of children formed a team under the command of other coaches.

There were about twenty or thirty young players. The youngest looked to be only five or six years old. The oldest was very tall and looked like he was almost an adult. However, as a basketball player, height cannot reflect age, especially tall people.

Fan Weidong introduced this group of young players to Anxi.

"Part of this group of young players are from the youth training in eastern Guangdong, some are from the youth training in Liaodong, and a few are talented young players from across the country. In short, they should be the best group of young players in the country... "

"The oldest one is named Chang Yi. He is 14 years old this year and is 1.97 meters tall. After testing his bone age, it is estimated that he will grow to 2.09 meters. He is considered a good insider prospect."

"And this. Even though he is short, he is only 1.62 meters. He is already 13 years old. His name is Shu Mi. The bone age test shows that he can grow to 1.85 meters. He is a young point guard. He has good ball-handling skills and a good hand. He has a good shooting ability. Although he is not tall, our coaching staff is still very optimistic about him based on his skills..."

"This is our strongest one. Lu Xiaoqiang is only 10 years old. His height has grown to 2 meters. His bone age is predicted to grow to 2.28 meters. Another Yao Ming. The key is good health, strong and strong confrontation ability. 10 years old Even at an age of 17 or 18, he can compete one-on-one with players who are 17 or 18 years old, and his speed is not slow."

Listening to Fan Weidong's introduction one by one, Anxi kept smiling, shaking hands and hugging these young players one by one in the longing eyes.

When these young players saw Anxi, they

In fact, they met the idols they dreamed of. As basketball players, they regard the NBA as the highest palace and Anxi as their idols. The moment they came into close contact with Anxi, they were naturally excited.

"This player is our youngest, his name is Fan Yize, he is only 4 years old."

"4 years old? Has he tested his bone age?" Anxi suddenly became curious. Four years old is too young. He only learned to walk for two years. What can such a big child do?

After listening to Fan Weidong's introduction, Anxi also roughly knew the most important points for selecting domestic talents, such as height, body, and skills. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about these items. The most important one is bone age.

Bone age can test many important things, the most important of which is the future height. For basketball players, height is very important, because it is innate and difficult to change the day after tomorrow.

"The bone age test is about 2 meters."

"About two meters? Then it's about the same as me..." Anxi reached out and touched Xiaofan's head, and the four-year-old child laughed happily.

"Then what will he order?" Anxi understood that since the strongest young players in the country are here, Fan Weidong must have brought a four-year-old child with his own skills.

Fan Weidong glanced at Anxi with a smile, then picked up a basketball from the floor and gave it to Xiaofan.

Xiaofan looked a little naive when he got a basketball that was half the size of his body. He shouted in a sweet voice: "Basketball."

There were no more words after that. It was obvious that Xiao Fan, who was only four years old, could already speak, but what he said was not very clear, but his milky voice made him even cuter.

Anxi smiled, and then a scene surprised him...

When Xiaofan got the basketball, he slapped it randomly on the floor and moved around.

It seemed random, but Anxi, who observed carefully, found that Xiaofan was dribbling seriously. Although the speed was not fast, he did not walk. The frequency of dribbling was very good, and the posture of dribbling was also very standard. He even came in the middle. The two crotch dribbles are quite stunning.

Just by looking at dribbling, Anxi felt that Xiao Fan would be a good basketball prospect. At least just by dribbling with this hand, Anxi could basically conclude that Xiao Fan would be a dribbling expert above the professional level.

"Who is he?"

Anxi felt that Xiaofan was worth cultivating, so he asked.

Fan Weidong smiled: "His dad is also in our team. He is from the Zhejiang Youth Training Team. His dad is the coach of the Zhejiang Youth Training Team and was also a basketball player back then."

Then, Fan Weidong looked aside: "Coach Fan, come here."

Not far away, a man of medium build, about 30 years old, ran over.

"This is Fan Youwei, the coach of the Zhejiang Youth Training Team and Fan Yize's father."

Anxi shook hands with Xiao Fan's father, and then said a few words: "Coach Fan, just by looking at this basketball, you can tell that your son is a talent. He should train him well. He will have a promising future..."

Coach Fan kept saying thank you. He was very happy. This was Anxi's praise and Anxi's recognition!

…

The entry of twenty or thirty young players into the camp marks the beginning of China's first basketball youth training camp run by Anxi.

In the next few days, the youth training camp was launched. Anxi focused on observing several young people that Fan Weidong was optimistic about one by one. He had to say that although domestic youth training has not produced many talents in recent years, domestic coaches The talents we value are indeed the best.

For example, Chang Yi, although he is an inside prospect, judging from his age and height, he should be a power forward in the future. He has also practiced inside skills, such as back-to-the-basket singles and inside steps. He is very solid.

There is also Lu Xiaoqiang, who is called the strongest by Fan Weidong. He is indeed in good health and is only 10 years old. Because of his height of two meters and his strong physical fitness, he can already perform many fast break dunks. According to Fan Weidong's speed, That said, it is indeed not slow.

There was also Fan Yize and Xiao Fan. Anxi was amazed by his dribbling. In the subsequent training, Anxi was also satisfied with the four-year-old Xiaofan's feel for the ball.

The so-called ball sense literally means the feeling for basketball. Anxi discovered that four-year-old Xiao Fan has a talent. He seems to be able to master basketball anytime and anywhere. If basketball really has a god, Xiao Fan’s ball sense is so outstanding that it makes Anxi felt that Xiaofan had communicated with the God of Basketball and asked the God of Basketball to help him master basketball everywhere.

After watching it for several days, Anxi also had two one-on-one confrontations with the 2-meter-high Lu Xiaoqiang. Needless to say, the results went without saying.

Lu Xiaoqiang's confrontation ability is indeed outstanding. In the NBA, he would be no less competitive against some adult white players. However, in front of Anxi, this confrontation is not enough.

It goes without saying that Anxi's skills are much better than Lu Xiaoqiang's, so the results of the two confrontations between the two are self-evident.

After a few days of observation, Anxi also gave Fan Weidong and others some suggestions.

"Chang Yi, looking at the bone age test, he is indeed a good inside prospect, but he has practiced too much inside skills. I think he should be given some outside skills training."

A few days later, Anxi was communicating with Fan Weidong and the others in a corner of the arena.

"Technical training on the outside? Is it necessary?"

Anxi nodded: "Of course, the bone age test is not necessarily accurate. What if he is less than 2.09 meters tall? Then he will have to play on the outside, or he will play inside as a short man. By then, he will not be able to play on the outside. Technically, his height suffers when playing inside, and no matter how strong he is, he will always suffer."

Anxi continued: "And do you know the current trends in the NBA?"

Fan Weidong and the others hesitated for a while, and finally shook their heads. In fact, they knew something, but in front of the authority of Anxi, they still did not dare to say more.

"The future trend of the NBA is for inside players to become outside players. For inside players, it is still very important and popular to have a few small skills of outside players. Therefore, I still suggest that you let Chang Yi practice a few outside skills. The same goes for Lu Xiaoqiang in terms of movement. His speed cannot be lost. At the same time, his dribbling ability and outside shooting also need to be strengthened. In fact, if you think about it from another angle, if Lu Xiaoqiang becomes a 2.28-meter-tall man, he is not weak in confrontation, is very fast, and can still How terrifying would it be to have a big center who can dribble from the outside and start the offense in isolation, or even shoot from anywhere in the half court?"

Fan Weidong and the others just thought about it in their minds. Whenever they thought about it, they felt extremely terrifying.

Immediately, they nodded again and again like chickens pecking at rice.

"And Shu Mi, he has good ball control and good shooting, but the confrontation really needs to be strengthened. Compared with foreigners, the biggest gap between us Chinese and foreigners is actually the body. I suggest giving Shu Mi some strength training. , let him strengthen the confrontation."

Fan Weidong and the others continued to nod.

"There is also Fan Yize and Xiao Fan. Although he is only four years old, I have to say a few words. Now Xiao Fan's dribbling is very good, which is surprising. But in the future, if he wants to truly gain a foothold in professional basketball, he will need more things. Speed, shooting, body, technique...etc., all are indispensable. Therefore, Coach Fan, I suggest you go to Mr. Mike Procopio and ask him to help Xiao Fan develop a training plan starting from an early age and strengthen his shooting at a certain age. , at what age should we strengthen various techniques, how to train speed and body, etc..."

Fan Youwei kept nodding. He also felt that what An Xi said was right. He planned to wait for An Xi to finish what he said before going to Mr. Mike Procopio to ask him for advice.

But he didn't know whether he should give some gifts to Mr. Procopio, and he didn't know what Mr. Procopio liked, so he started to think hard about it.

…

While the China Basketball Youth Training Camp was in full swing, Rich Paul became busy. In two hours, it was the moment he was looking forward to.

Bleacher's website editors were ready, as were the local Cleveland newspapers.

In the printing plant of Cleveland's Honest Newspaper, freshly baked Honest Newspapers are stacked one after another with the aroma of ink. The headline on the front page is a big photo of LeBron James, and he is wearing a big photo of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The text above is a big "go home"!

Soon, LeBron James appeared at the Bleachers headquarters and tweeted a notice: In an hour, I will announce my whereabouts!

So, the whole United States is excited!

No matter how surprising Anxi's performance was last season, LeBron James is still the number one star in many people's minds. Now, LeBron James is about to announce his whereabouts. Will he stay in Miami, or will he be like the one that has been so popular these days? Rumor has it that he will return to Cleveland, go to Chicago, New York or Los Angeles...

And finally, LeBron James is announcing his final destination.

An hour later, countless people were eagerly waiting for the freshly baked Cleveland Honest News to leave the factory, and countless people suddenly poured into the official website of the bleachers.

At this time, a big photo hung there, that was LeBron James during the Cavaliers period.

"go home"!

One word appears prominently on the homepage of the website.

"LeBron James is home!"

"LeBron James is back in Cleveland!"

"Miami's Big Three disintegrated and LeBron James is back!"

Countless people exclaimed, LeBron James is back!

He returned to Cleveland, back to the place where the dream began...

Anxi, who was far away in China, also received many calls from reporters immediately. Of course, when he received the first few calls and found that everyone was asking the same question, he decisively turned off the phone.

But I couldn't help but think about it. LeBron James actually returned to Cleveland. What impact will this have on the 76ers' title defense next year?

Everything is unknown.

Soon, more than ten days later, the China Basketball Youth Training Camp, which lasted for more than half a month, came to an end.

Anxi chartered a plane to bring back these coaches and trainers from the United States, and he also returned to the United States at the same time.

Before leaving, Xiao Guo, who had not had much communication with Anxi during this meeting, pulled Anxi for a few words.

During the offseason last season, Anxi suggested that he participate in the NBA draft, but until this season, Xiao Guo did not declare his participation in the draft. Xiao Guo gave an explanation that the Liaodong team would not let him go...

This explanation made Anxi a little interested. He glanced at Xiaofan, who was waving his hands not far away, and Lu Xiaoqiang and the others. Perhaps, for Xiaofan and the others, the most suitable place for their development should be in the United States. Because there is freedom there, they can freely plan their careers...

As they boarded a plane to the United States in Anxi, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade began to make their choices...

The alliance was shaken.
