Although little known in our school academically, but basketball is still little known, schools can play a large ad in Times Square at least, that we are TEAM OF NEW YORK. The school also famous for the NBA transport world peace, Chris Mullin and Mark Jackson et al. In our Queens campus of the school, and had a common arena for students to use, and that conditions are sufficient rejection Dongdan, Ditan, good God, a few blocks the body of the horse! Not worse than the General Administration of Sport training center! And finish! all! Free! fee! So I naturally became a frequent visitor.
To play in the United States is very happy to play is also very good things, and in all aspects of the country there are some differences. Let me talk about the competition system, Americans are super like to play a game, so the shop's two sites are always a hit occupied the audience. Playing the audience are basically sports school students that in addition to playing the best, all the old basic black, group of people show high stuffy strong, in sudden foreign investment, omnipotent, basically the whole Chinese people play it is abused life, because we grew up very few people used to play a game. Only a few times, we played the audience also win, it basically because weekends and holidays, did not play good the whole, our opponents are not likely to hit the Cock wire ⋯⋯
If the audience is not a fight, basically we only play half. As is the three-three or four dozen Fourth, the United States, unlike domestic hit five balls or 10 balls, no matter there is no answer dial the following, here are the fight with 16 points. If you hit 14 or 15, is still a draw, the Americans will require basic direct hit 21 points, there are a few requirements to win by 2, it is to win two points considered finished. Distribution when you can wave with your own people, you can also go to the stadium site social, and invite others to your wave, and if we do not know, it will be shoot for team, as everyone go free throws, free throws in wave, went into the wave. Will spread team, we will use to decide who should shoot for ball tee. China's approach is both teams out of people to vote, while the United States is on a team of people out to vote, this is the team dropped into the hair, went into the opponent is made, the vote of three-pointers.
Then on the opening play, playing good old black opponents who are all Chinese people to see, basically are not seriously anti-you, unless your team is particularly accurate, has been scored, he began to close your defense. Anti-old was seriously black is a miserable thing, which means that you almost do not go sit inside, outside not get the ball, put the ball on a throw, a shot to endure cap. Measures such times is: either staring at the weakest point that opponents fight hard, or else his teammates would come and pick and roll cover, or on the old black and Hao Zhao, consumption to lose their patience. Most of those who play the United States are very independent, and they got the rebound, you basically do not expect that they will pass to you, their most common practice is to grab rebounds Hu then shipped to throw a three-pointer from beyond the arc. Regardless of whether the Right to vote, they are persistent Hu Rengzhao.
When I first started playing here it is most suited for physical contact and the foul special tolerance. The situation here to play a game nobody cry foul are commonplace, and the field was definitely not classy players, here you play the hand, or pull them, they basically will not call a foul, a lot of times we are very conscious of their hands acknowledged foul, but were we would hit the old black waved his hand, said:. "no foul, I did not cry," of course, you are so defensive when they will treat you, you a breakthrough in the basket, that someone thugs, was pulled following you, you hit the middle there are people, who frequently called, so the domestic foul, fouled vote of no progress say people in the US court should not mix.
In the United States playing half-court, whether it is out of bounds, foul or violation, should serve laps from the start. Before serving, you want your ball to the anti-people, called check ball, took the ball anti-people you'll see their teammates are not all good people to stare bit, then put the ball to you. This is also a time to still play Lai. For example, you do not see the offensive side of the ball in the cover of his teammates was blocked, the other side there is a vacancy, this time you can put the ball in the hands of more than take a while, waiting for you to keep up with teammates and then the ball has to go back . Of course, if you catch a bad-tempered old black, he'll tell you: give me the fuckin 'ball!
In the US courts, the most powerful of course, those old black, but people are less willing to play with the Chinese people probably do not think there is a challenge. Sometimes to play with, you have a few minutes in front of them in a row, they will solemnly tell you: you can no longer vote of no progress \ You'll never catch rebounds \ you could not get into the paint and so on and after ⋯⋯ basic will also, as they say. Of course, you can also try to challenge them a bit, ask them one: "you sure?" Then a few key shots and hit the ball or something in front of them, they possessed nothing to say.
Our arena, in addition to the old black, and white, Hispanic, Indian or Middle Eastern, Asian, Asians are basically Chinese people, there is little ABC and Korean. Chinese people due to the slim, it alone does not account for what is cheap, but the Chinese people always appear in groups, we always play together, have more understanding, they still win a lot of balls. Occasionally, the old black and partner, as long as it is willing to old black ball (Of course, this old black rarely met), we can still play a role, shots and what vacancies. In short, in the United States to play, each time not to suffer a few hat or something, your heart do not feel at ease.
