Sun Hao took Yi Jianlian to try out the school in Los Angeles, and the rest was handed over to Fu Paul.

He returned to Dallas to start a new training program with Baker's help.

Just like Baker said to Sun Hao before, he needs to practice a lot this summer.

step-back shots, deceptive feints before the breakaway, and...... Shooting stance.

Among these three training contents, shooting posture is the most important.

Sun Hao has been training for so many years, and his shooting posture has long formed muscle memory.

It's hard to change, but it's something you have to do.

According to Baker, he is not tall enough, and if he continues to use his current form, he will be easily blocked when it comes to regular-season level games.

This is also a big reason why many short men are in the lower leagues, but they can't adapt to the higher leagues.

Don't ask why Kobe Bryant, Jordan, or even Maddie use jump shots, because of their height and arm span, plus jump shots, others can barely block.

Baker's suggestion was to change from projection to pushing.

These are two completely different types of shooting, with most players using projection, and pushing is represented by Curry and Nash.

Of course, Curry hasn't shown up at this time, and Baker is using Nash as an example.

From this point of view, this is a very risky endeavor.

There are two biggest differences between these two types of shooting.

One is the difference between the participating arms, where projection makes more use of the muscles of the lower arm, while pushing requires the participation of the upper arm.

What is Big Arm? Biceps!

Or more figuratively, the unicorn arm.

Fortunately, because of Sun Hao's previous strength training, especially the strength of his big arms, the original preparation was completely waived.

Another difference is the shooting speed.

Push shots are shot much faster than projections.

That's why Curry shoots every 0.33 seconds.

In fact, whether it is a step back, a feint before a breakthrough, or even a shooting action, the purpose is to create shooting space for Sun Hao.

Sun Hao himself knew this very well, so after accepting Baker's theory, he also devoted himself to training.

And he's starting to redistribute his training.

Practice step-back and breakthrough during the day, and then go to the system to shoot with and without the ball in the system after the training.

This process is painful.

But he was happy.

Even for a moment, he somewhat understood why Kobe Bryant would get up at four in the morning to train.

To use one of the simplest but truest words to describe it, love.

It was because of his love for basketball that he inspired the system.

After that, he entered the system and practiced hard, more to slap Li Yuanwei and Yang Wei in the face.

But the five-year contract ended early, and he found that he hadn't lost motivation.

It was also then that he realized that the slap in the face or something was just an excuse he made for himself, and the real motivation was love.

Just like some people are energetic when they mention playing lol, some people can trek through mountains and rivers for photography, and some people can throw their lives aside for epidemic prevention.

It's all love, big or small, big or small, big or small.

A week later, Yi Jianlian came back from the trial.

This time, he finally has his choice.

"I'm going to play for Sierra Leone Valley School."

In the end, he did not choose to go to Spain.

Sun Hao is also very supportive of his choice.

Bob should be very good, and both are in the United States, and it is easy for the two to connect.

Of course, I made a choice, and it depends on whether the domestic side can handle it well.

Before Yi Jianlian returned to China, Sun Hao called Li Yuanwei.

China is a humane society, and with Li Yuanwei's help, things will go much smoother.

Li Yuanwei will not fail to help with this.

Compared with Sun Hao, Yi Jianlian, a young man who has not yet played, even if his talent is overflowing, his value is not equal.

And from the five-year covenant, it can also be seen that he is not a short-sighted person.

If Yi Jianlian can play abroad, it will be good news at the national level.

And that's exactly how it happened.

After Yi Jianlian returned to China, he told his parents what he thought.

His parents rarely heard their son say what he wanted, especially after that incident in elementary school.

So Yi Jianlian mentioned it, and they fully supported it.

However, the Hongyuan team naturally refused to let people go easily.

At the critical moment, Li Yuanwei, the former director of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, went to Guangdong in person.

No one knew exactly what happened, but the end result was that the Hongyuan team agreed to release them.

And shortly after that, Yi Jianlian said goodbye to his parents and got on a plane to the United States.

He will start his high school career in Los Angeles across the ocean!

……

In Dallas in September, the air is still hot and humid.

Unknowingly, Yi Jianlian has been training with Sun Hao in Dallas for two months.

These two months have also been painful for him.

While Baker helped Sun Hao train, he also helped Yi Jianlian to practice.

Like Sun Hao's three points, he also has three points.

According to Beck's vision, Yi Jianlian's template is Sun Hao's future teammate Nowitzki.

To become Nowitzki, shooting is a must.

However, unlike Sun Hao, he did not let Yi Jianlian pursue speed, but pursued stability.

In this process, he also forced Yi Jianlian to get rid of two bad habits.

I like to look at the three-point line before shooting, and I like to crouch and shoot.

Hell knows how he developed these two habits, but Baker forced him to do so, even if it was maddening at first.

Shooting is the second point, and the second point is finishing ability.

Yi Jianlian's running and jumping ability is excellent, but the finish is not good, and even a little bad.

On the one hand, because Yijian's alliance is small, this cannot be changed.

What can change is his scoring skills and core strength, which are the key factors in determining his finishing ability.

There are many small skills such as wiping the board, hooking hands, turning, footsteps, and baskets, and it is not a one-time thing for Yi Jianlian to master.

But Yi Jianlian is still young and still has a lot of time to practice.

The third point is the ability to block and dismantle.

Yi Jianlian's blocking and dismantling is too unstrong, which has something to do with strength and skills.

The strength needs Yi Jianlian to find a way to improve himself, but some small steps in the blocking and dismantling, the timing of blocking and dismantling, these can be practiced.

I have to say that Yi Jianlian chose to play basketball in the United States, and the unexpected benefit was that he rubbed Baker's wave.

Sun Hao's trainer was given to him for free.

Of course, the training process is painful.

But the pain is the pain, with Sun Hao practicing together, he also persevered.

And by mid-September, they had one more thing to do in the evenings besides training.

Stay up late to watch the live broadcast.

The Olympics opened in Sydney, and because of the time difference, the game was 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. in Los Angeles.

18 hours of jet lag, but I stayed up late and did it.

Melon seeds and peanuts, drinks and coffee, two big men sit in front of the TV and wait for the live broadcast.

The opponent of the first game of the men's basketball team is the Dream Four team.

Sun Hao was only an 8-year-old child in his last life in 2000, so he naturally hadn't watched this game.

Knocking melon seeds, drinking drinks, shaking calves, nervous and exciting.

The starting lists of both sides are out.

Mourning, Garnett, Carter, Payton, Kidd.

This lineup is scary to watch.

However, after the game started, the Chinese team did not fall behind at all.

Zhang Jinsong hit a three-point shot to open the scoring for the men's basketball team.

Garnett's baseline iron-blooded jumper missed, and Carter flew to make up for the dunk.

Yao Ming's blood was full of Moring, Guo Shiqiang dribbled the ball like the wind, and Wang Zhizhi followed up with a layup.

Payton missed the shot, Yao Ming pointed the ball out of the outside line, and the men's basketball team played a fast attack, but it was Wang Zhizhi, who received the ball in the front court and caused interference.

9 to 5!

Mo Ning hit both free throws, Guo Shiqiang was stealed, Garnett missed, and Yao Ming pointed the ball out again.

It was still Wang Zhizhi, who received a sudden ball in the front court, and directly shot Mo Ning with three points from the outside.

12 to 7!

Like the previous summer league game against the Mavericks, Yao Ming's inside line is as steady as a rock, Wang Zhizhi keeps scoring, and the Great Wall is young and powerful.

Sun Hao remembered the experience of playing against the men's basketball team in the summer league at this time.

Looking back now, the 6-16 beating in the opening game was really unjust.

You must know that the men's basketball team is now facing a serious dream team.

The legs of the two of them kept shaking, and their blood was boiling.

They are looking forward to the future of their national team.

However, the situation is similar to that of summer league, and the men's basketball bench and fitness have only lasted half of the game.

The U.S. team was not a summer league Mavericks and quickly pulled the score away.

The men's basketball team made a perfect start, and although the difference in strength was too large in the end, it also scored 72 points, setting a record for the highest number of points scored between the two teams.

After the game, Yao Ming was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

It was his first Olympic game, and his performance was average, with only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks.

However, because of his outstanding height and potential, as well as his outstanding performance in summer league, he has attracted some attention from the NBA.

"How many points do you think you can score at this Olympics?"

"One or all?"

"Single-game."

"20 points."

"Do you think you can play in the NBA?"

"Yes."

The reporter asked a lot of questions, but Yao Ming's answers were very concise and crisp.

This made Wang Zhizhi on the side a little surprised.

He remembered that Yao Ming was not so confident before?

Finally, when he finished saying that, Yao Ming still looked up at the camera.

Through the TV screen, Sun Hao could feel Yao Ming's confidence and firmness from this word.

Sure enough, there is such a thing as personality, which can be seen when you are young.

It's just that what he didn't know was that Yao Ming's answer had a lot to do with the interview he gave in Long Beach.

At that time, he said to the media that he would definitely play for his country and would score 30 points, and his tone was confident and affirmative.

Now his No. 2 little fan brother is learning from him to speak!

……

Time flies, and it's late September in a blink of an eye.

The men's basketball team finally suffered a reversal from France, although it won the European champion Italy, but because of the relationship between victory and defeat, it missed the top 8 and finally finished 10th.

The result is regrettable, but it makes Sun Hao look forward to it.

Four years later, he was 22 years old and Yi Jianlian was 20 years old, and that was when they stepped onto the Olympic stage.

Of course, it's too early to say that.

Yi Jianlian has traveled to Los Angeles to prepare for his first high school season in the United States.

And Sun Hao will also usher in his first season of training camp in Dallas!

His rookie season is about to begin.
