The yellow storm in the NBA

"Kevin, is that guy you're talking about really that good?" Coach Rick Barnes asked uncertainly. After all, if it's like Durant said he could play one-on-one with him, at least

He is also a college star. How can such a person remain unknown?

"Coach, you've asked me more than ten times, wait and see for yourself if it's true! I'm sure you really want that guy to be your team member, believe me!" Kevin Durant was very happy.

Said with certainty.

"Okay, then I'll have to take a good look at it later!" Seeing Durant saying so definitely, coach Rick Barnes was full of expectations.

Since succeeding Tom Penders as the head coach of this team in 1998, although he has led the team to the quarterfinals three times and the final four in 2003, he has never been able to go one step further and create team history.

Originally, they entered the quarterfinals this year, retained the original main team, and added the newly recruited outstanding newcomers such as Durant, they will definitely be able to go further, but the core members of the team, LaMarcus Aldridge and P.J.

. Tucker chose to play in the NBA.

As a result, the team's lineup fell apart. Although Durant, a strong newcomer, was added, the strength still inevitably declined. We are considering whether we can select a few capable players in the campus trials to add them, so we will continue

I got a call from Durant and recommended a basketball genius to myself.

To be honest, at first, Barnes didn’t really believe Durant’s basketball genius. You know, players who can be considered geniuses have been booked by major schools long ago, so how could they end up on their own team?

Where are you coming? After Durant said it was because the other party attended high school in China, Barnes became even more suspicious.

Although Yao Ming has already played in the NBA and has a vague feeling of being the number one center, Barnes still doesn't believe how strong a kid from China can be. What's more, he is not a tall center, but a defender.

Has China produced any famous and capable guards? Anyway, so far, Barnes has never heard of any guards from China. But now, seeing how determined and decisive Durant is, Coach Barnes

There was also a faint hope and expectation.

"Kevin, what time did you make an appointment to meet yesterday? Are you not coming?" Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Coach Barnes couldn't help but ask again.

"Hey, don't worry, Rick! We agreed to meet here today,

That guy will definitely come, maybe he still has something to do now, after all, he just came to our school from China." Durant replied while doing shooting practice.

"Hey, Kevin, are you ready to take on my challenge?" As soon as Durant finished speaking, Quan Xiao's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this voice, Coach Barnes turned to look at the door of the arena, and then there was a yellow young man wearing jeans, a short white T-shirt, and a pair of Nike sneakers, about two meters tall, and carrying a backpack.

catch your own eyes.

After he walked into the arena, he glanced around, saw himself looking at him, smiled and nodded as a greeting, then walked over and hugged Durant. It seemed that the two of them were very familiar with each other.

"Brother, you are here. If you don't come, I will arrest you! Come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Rick Barnes, the coach of our Longhorns team. Coach, this is the coach I talked to yesterday.

You mentioned that there are basketball geniuses from China all over the school."

"Hello, Mr. Barnes! I'm Quan Xiao from China. I'm glad to meet you and I'm looking forward to getting your guidance!" Quan Xiao said while extending his hand. He knew that first time is more popular in the West.

Shake hands when meeting.

"Hello, welcome to our school. I'm also looking forward to seeing you put on our team uniform." Barnes said and took Quan Xiao's extended hand.

When Barnes held Quan Xiao's hand, he realized that his palms were like babies compared to Quan Xiao's. With such big hands, he was born to play basketball! This made him feel for Quan Xiao's hand.

The expectations have risen a bit.

"I heard that you and Kevin have agreed to train together today. Can I come and watch?" After saying hello and getting acquainted, Coach Barnes asked.

"Of course, I also hope to get guidance from you, coach!" Quan Xiao responded immediately.

"Okay then, go ahead and change your clothes and warm up again. I will be the referee for you two later."

After Quan Xiao changed his clothes and finished warming up, the two of them came to the center of the court and prepared to continue the one-on-one match. Just like yesterday, Durant asked Quan Xiao to kick off first.

After receiving the ball, Quan Xiao chose to break through, but Durant still chose to defend, not giving Quan Xiao any room to break through. Facing Durant's close defense, Quan Xiao first made a fake move to break through to the right.

rand

As he moved, he pulled the ball back to the left and quickly squeezed past him, then made a lowhand layup to score the first point.

"Solid dribbling, fast speed, flexible body, quick breakthrough, and good strength." Coach Barnes off the court gave the following evaluation of this breakthrough.

Although Quan Xiao just made a fake move, Durant did not completely lose his position in the end. But in the end, Quan Xiao relied on his own strength to squeeze away Durant, who was on an unstable footing, and broke into the penalty area.

On the next goal, Quan Xiao once again broke through Durant's defense with a gesture of worshiping Buddha, and scored another victory.

Then just like yesterday, Durant came from behind and finally won the final victory 10:8.

"You won again, Kevin, but I will continue to practice hard, and I will definitely beat you in the near future." Quan Xiao said with a smile while panting.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to defeat me!" Durant also replied with a smile.

Although Durant was smiling and looking relaxed, he knew in his heart that today's Quan Xiao seemed to be more difficult to deal with than yesterday. This can also be seen from the score, and after yesterday's game, he was against Quan Xiao

With more understanding, he still scored one more goal today than yesterday.

Coach Barnes, who was off the court, was laughing in his heart at this moment. He didn't expect that what Durant said was completely true. This kid from China is indeed a basketball genius.

Not only does he have solid basic skills, but he is also rich in offensive methods, including breakthroughs, mid-range shots, three-pointers, post-ups, and even a fadeaway jumper. Although the ball did not go in in the end, his posture was relatively standard. As time goes by, things will change.

Can be polished.

"We must bring this kid into the team. With these two people, I believe this year's results will not be much worse. Although this year's inside strength is not that good, just relying on these two outside players can defeat most of the opponents.

, it’s not impossible to break into the semi-finals again with better luck, and it’s even possible to win one or two more capable players.”

"Welcome to our Longhorns. Please come here on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I will try my best to apply for a scholarship for you, and there will be many other benefits. All you have to do is train hard and play well with peace of mind."

"My pleasure, sir!" Quan Xiao replied with a smile.

NCAA, here I come! Dear opponents, are you ready?
