Chapter 23: Establishing a personal team

Stephen naturally didn't know that he had saved his starting position because of his good relationship with Nick Young and others. However, today's confrontation with Brandon Roy did open his eyes. It turned out that basketball can still be played like this. Brandon Roy has good physical fitness, but it is far from being super strong. However, he puts the pressure on Stephen on the offensive end. Every choice of the opponent's offensive seems to be the best, without dragging on the slumber, and simply to the extreme. This style of play is said to be dependent on the body, but it is not completely dependent on the body, but combines the body and wisdom.

Stephen has always been worried that his physical abnormalities will be discovered by others, but it is better to play basketball than to use his own body. If he had a good body, so many things would have happened there, and he would have been on the street basketball team long ago.

If he uses his own body like this, but does not use his own body too much to play ball, wouldn’t he be able to cover up his own body? Even if it explodes occasionally, others will not doubt anything.

Why not start by learning this guy? Learn how to play basketball. This guy has a good offense, rich offensive methods, and good choice to enter the plane. Although the strength of the defense is not as strong as Stephen, it is also first-class. Moreover, Stephen does not intend to rely entirely on his body to defend, so it is also good to learn the opponent's defensive skills.

Stephen went to find Punikatu to come and video of the game that day, and at the same time told him to see if he could see the video of Brandon Roy playing basketball before.

Punikatu asked Stephen what he thought about the content of his, so he could get the video analyst to edit it. It turned out that there was such a service. Stephen told him that both offense and defense must be, mainly offensive. Could you focus on this guy in the past and want to collect more video materials of him?

This is a bit difficult. Punicatu is just an ordinary member of the coaching staff and does not have the right to instruct people to do this. Especially for long-term focus on collecting information about a player, only Benjamin gave orders.

If the video of the entire University of Washington team is easy to deal with, but it will not work if editing. The video analyst is the third-ranked figure in the team's coaching staff, and it is not something that Punicatu can instruct.

Forget it, let’s take a look at this game first, but Punicatu still found all the videos of the previous games at the University of Washington, but this game was the only one that was edited.

Stephen returned home and found the video recorder and started to look at the game video. However, when he saw Stephen found that the edited video was different from the unedited video. The unedited video was similar to watching a live broadcast on TV. Although the direction of the camera was a little different, the edited clearly showed the player's every move and every choice, and also added certain explanation and explanation signs.

Stephen slowed down the playback speed to one-half, then carefully looked at Brandon Roy's footsteps, attack direction, and action. Whenever he saw a key point, Stephen pressed pause, and then restored the scene in his mind, combined with his own feelings to reminisce about the wonder of this action.

I watched the entire video intermittently. In fact, it was only 20 minutes. Stephen watched it for more than three hours. After watching it, Stephen put down the remote control with unfulfilled wish, recalled all the gains of today, and picked up the basketball to practice it.

Brandon Roy's skills are not the best, but Stephen has personally experienced the best in the offense, especially the feeling of lifting weights as if it was easy to move, it was like opening a window for Stephen.

After practicing for a while, Stephen returned to the TV and picked up the remote control. The actions he thought of might not be able to be done in reality. Moreover, Brandon Roy's offense at that time changed according to the different defenses. There was no one in front of Stephen, so it was naturally a little different. Many movements were a bit redundant. How could he feel them in an immersive way? Stephen shook his head. It was definitely impossible to pull the same group of people to help with the demonstration. What he had to do was not to copy them, but to learn this way of playing ball, rather than a specific method.

Stephen quickly figured it out, and at the same time he also thought that his shooting ability was a huge difference from the opponent. Even if he learned this way of playing, he would use it now. However, this should be a long-term practice goal, while training his own shooting, he learned the opponent's playing method.

It would be great if I could get more of this edited videos, especially in the subsequent competitions, if I could find someone to help me edit them.

If you have any questions, you will find your aunt. In Stephen's eyes, even if you can't be able to do anything, Shi Xianghua has his own opinion on this issue: "This is Hollywood, and there is no problem finding video editors, but it is difficult to find editors who know basketball. Even if there are, they are not something you can afford. But as far as I know, there are many people in the film school in the school who learn editing. You can look for it. There must be those who like basketball, and maybe you can find someone who is obliged to help."

My aunt's statement is very reasonable. You can't ask my aunt to pay for her to hire her. The cost of hiring such a technician will definitely not be very low. I'd better think of a solution from the school.

Of course, Stephen didn't have to do this in person. With his younger brother, he used the boss's movements and just greeted him, Cooperd immediately mobilized his younger brother to inquire.

After only one day, Cooper brought a guy over. Stephen saw that his big head looked very inconsistent, and he had a thick glasses on his face, pale and blood-colored, but had a pair of big dark circles. Seeing Stephen, he had no panic at all, surprised and curious, and turned very vividly.

"What are you going to do? I can declare in advance that I will never do anything illegal." Stephen felt very fond of the other party's accent, with a clear eastern accent, and it was from North Carolina.

"I just want you to come and help edit some videos, and I won't let you break the law." Stephen smiled, but with the guys around him, the real gang leader, at least a small leader.

"Editing? I can only do kinematic analysis, but I can't do anything else." The guy named Pallowsen Grett looked up and down Stephen, fearing that Stephen would ask him to synthesize something bad.

"What I want is kinematic analysis, basketball? Do you understand basketball? Help me edit an offensive or defensive clip from a game. This can be done." Stephen was very happy when he heard this, and hugged the guy and pulled it aside and asked.

"Basketball? I just understand a little bit, I am proficient in football and baseball." The other party was very honest, that was, he did not say lies or refuse, nor did he brag about himself, and seemed honest.

"That's fine, you see, it's this guy. I will take all his game videos. Please help me edit his offensive and defensive videos separately. The offensive footage should not be too detailed. You need to see his entire offensive route. If you defend, you can be more detailed. What do you think?" Stephen took him to Coopard's dormitory and pointed to the content on the video and said to him.

"I know this guy, this guy, I'm in Garfield, who is like me, and he is in high school in Seattle, but his grades are very poor, just like his brother." As soon as he saw Brandon Roy, Pallowson recognized him immediately.

After he talked about Stephen and the others, he realized that this Brandon Roy was calm and composed on the court, but he was a typical poor student in his studies.

His reading comprehension ability was extremely poor and he was even judged as a functional disorder in his learning, so the exam was his biggest problem. He failed the first entrance exam. During the second exam, he was considered invalid due to the difference in scores from the first exam. While working odd jobs in the port of Seattle, moving goods and washing boats, he earned $11 an hourly salary while self-studying to take the last exam.

It's a pity that his score finally barely exceeded the score line this time. At the same time, his basketball talent was recognized by the coach of the University of Washington, Lorenzo Romal, and he joined the University of Washington basketball team.

After hearing what Pallowson said, Stephen felt a little bit amazing. His grades were not better. He was not with an aunt. He probably was similar to this guy. The University of Southern California’s requirements for scores seemed to be a little higher than that of the University of Washington.

"Let's do this, every time he's edited, I'll pay you fifty dollars. I'll ask him to bring the video to you. After the editing, you'll let him give it to me." But now he is a regular player of the University of Southern California, and the opponent has become his opponent, so there is no need to sigh anymore. Stephen immediately threw this emotion aside and arranged for Palauson.

"Fifty dollars? Well, it will definitely satisfy you." Pallowson had nothing to refuse, and he was not allowed to refuse, but since the other party was willing to pay, the work he did had to be more refined. Pallowson thought at first he could do it for free.

"I'll give you seventy dollars at one time. You are responsible for going to the coaching staff to come and give him the videotape, and then give me the edited one. How about it?" After Pallowson left with the videotape, Stephen said to Coupard. Although he was his younger brother, the emperor was not a hungry soldier. If he wanted him to do his best, he had to give him some benefits. There were not many opportunities to earn twenty dollars if he ran errands. Stephen also calculated that a season only had forty or fifty games, and at most it was only a few thousand dollars. He could still afford it, at least it was much cheaper than hiring a special video analyst.
