It was quite a sight to see over a hundred players sitting in a circle around the edge of the field.
When the club notified them to come, they only said that they would be able to experience firsthand the level of the world's top basketball players.
and...
This is an order that Zhang Peng gave to the club's management.
Zhang Peng could see that Wei Guo genuinely wanted to help domestic players grow, but no one was taking the initiative to step forward.
Zhang Peng looked at Wei Guo and said, "There is a gap between everyone's level and yours, so it's understandable that they don't dare to take the initiative to play."
"I understand..."
Wei Guo looked at everyone and said, "It's just a friendly sparring match. I'm going to join the national team training camp tomorrow. You might not get this kind of opportunity for several years."
This statement has captivated many people.
To give an inappropriate example...
The hound challenged the lion to a duel, and the hound had already won the moment the duel began.
......
Some people were already getting restless, and Wei Guo asked again, "Is there a teammate among you?"
Yes, there is.
Yes, there is.
Yes, there is.
Many people raised their hands.
There are only a dozen or so teams in the Chinese Men's Basketball Professional League, and 107 players came here, including some reserve players. There are many players from the same team.
“I can tell you all know each other quite well.”
Wei Guo laughed and asked, "If it's a 3v3, who are the three strongest people here?"
The players pointed at each other, but soon three players were pushed onto the field, and these three stood in front of Wei Guo.
"My name is Xu Geng."
"My name is Xiang Ning."
"My name is Sun Xin."
The three introduced themselves. Xu Geng looked to be over 2.1 meters tall, Xiang Ning was also 2 meters tall, and Sun Xin was the shortest, only a little over 1.8 meters tall.
Wei Guo said, "How about we play a 3v3 match first?"
"Brother Wei, you're all alone."
Sun Xin asked, "How do we play 3v3?"
This reminder excited the others, who looked at Wei Guo with anticipation, thinking that Wei Guo was going to choose two teammates from among them.
"I'll bring my two kids to fight with you."
Wei Guo beckoned to the corner, "LeBron, Stephen, you two come over here."
"Brother Wei..."
Sun Xin pointed at James, speechless, and said, "You call this a child?"
James is now approaching two meters tall, and among the more than one hundred players on the sidelines, few can match his size.
Wei Guo smiled and said, "He is only 17 years old and is a high school student."
"I know him!"
A player on the sidelines asked, "Hey, is his name LeBron James?"
"Good eye!"
Wei Guo gave the player a thumbs up.
The player immediately said to the person next to him, "I've seen his game videos. He's known as the strongest high school player in the entire M. Although he's only 17 years old, his playing style is incredibly explosive!"
“Now that you mention it, I recognize it too.”
Someone chimed in, "Oh, it's him! No wonder he looked so familiar."
“Many of us here can’t even beat this high school student.”
This statement is not an understatement.
......
As for Curry, he's not even 1.8 meters tall.
She also has a baby face...
They were ignored by Sun Xin and his two companions.
This is a very special 3V3 match. Wei Guo is bringing two children and three CBA professional players, and they are all players of above-average skill.
"How about this..."
Wei Guo grabbed a basketball and explained the rules, "We'll just have anyone on the court blow the whistle, and we'll play for 15 minutes, how about that?"
"no problem!"
Sun Xin and the other two nodded.
Wei Guo tossed the ball to Sun Xin, saying, "You guys serve."
"Go Xu Geng!"
"Sun Xin, keep it up!"
"Xiang Ning, keep it up!"
The players on the sidelines cheered for Sun Xin and his two teammates. Although Wei Guo was with two children, they also wanted to see Sun Xin and his teammates defeat Wei Guo.
........
The 3V3 tactic is relatively simple: single defense plus endless switching is all you need.
There are some offensive tactics...
However, Wei Guo had never played 3v3 with James and Curry, so he just attacked casually, since both kids were very quick to learn anyway.
"Beep!!!"
A referee was found at the last minute and blew the whistle.
Xu Geng was inbounding the ball from midcourt. After Sun Xin received the ball, someone on the sidelines shouted, "Brother Wei, Sun Xin's three-pointers are very accurate, be careful!"
"Holy crap..."
As Sun Xin dribbled the ball, he turned around and glared at a player on the sidelines.
"Hahaha..."
This expression made the players on the sidelines burst into laughter.
"Smack!"
Curry reached out and snatched the basketball from Sun Xin's hands.
Sun Xin, “???”
This defense was unexpected by everyone... Facing Curry, who is less than 1.8 meters tall and only 15 years old, Sun Xin was very relaxed and even somewhat dismissive. He never expected Curry's movements to be so fast.
After the steal...
Curry dribbled out of the three-point line and passed the ball to Wei Guo, who drove to the basket and made another behind-the-back pass, bringing the ball to James's hands.
Xiang Ning defends James!
James received the pass, leaped high, and delivered a powerful one-handed dunk over Xiang Ning.
"Bang!!!"
Xiang Ning was knocked over by James.
This scene...
There was a moment of silence on the sidelines, then many people jumped up, shouting, "Great shot!!!"
To be honest, such an explosive dunk is not very common in domestic basketball games, and this dunk came from a high school student.
After their first attack failed, Sun Xin became more serious.
He got the ball again and went one-on-one against Curry. If he couldn't even beat this kid who was less than 1.8 meters tall, then he really wouldn't be able to survive in the CBA. Without any extra moves, Sun Xin hit a three-pointer right in front of Curry.
Not tall enough...
However, at only fifteen years old, Curry's physical abilities are no less than Sun Xin's.
As Sun Xin took the shot, Curry's fingertips touched the basketball. Wei Guo immediately positioned himself under the basket, easily grabbed the rebound, and then passed the ball to Curry outside the three-point line.
Curry receives the ball...
With a simple feint, Sun Xin was fooled.
Curry then took a step back to the left and launched a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!!!"
The basketball went through the net cleanly.
5-0!!!
In this 3V3 rule, the serve changes after a goal is scored. If the serve changes after a goal, then Sun Xin and the other two players might not even have a chance to receive the ball.
More than a hundred professional players sat on the sidelines.
"nice shot!!!"
Some people were encouraging Curry, but then they realized something was wrong.
Sun Xin is 27 years old this year, which can be said to be the peak of his career. However, the player he was matched up against was only a 15-year-old boy, who even seemed a bit thin. This boy stole the ball from Sun Xin once, blocked one of Sun Xin's three-pointers, and then made a three-pointer under Sun Xin's defense.
Could it be...
Is the gap between Chinese and American players really that big?
