Chapter 228: Countdown to the Boxing Match

After the trade was confirmed, Ji Liang remained in Houston, and his low-post skills continued to improve under Olajuwon's tutelage.

In fact, don't look at Olajuwon's official height of 213 cm, but in real comparison, the two are similar in height and are on the same level.

That said, Olajuwon's official height has a certain amount of moisture, which is actually not that tall.

In addition to their similar heights, the physical fitness of the two is also relatively similar, and here we are talking about the peak Olajuwon.

No one has an advantage in strength, and Ji Liang has a slight advantage in speed, but the bounce of Olajuwon at the peak is even more amazing.

All in all, the characteristics of the two are very similar, and it is no wonder that under the guidance of Olajuwon, Chi Liang will make such great progress.

Of course, in a month's time, Chi Liang has learned Olajuwon's low-level skills at most, and if he wants to reach the point of Olajuwon, he must have enough accumulation.

During this period, Nets general manager Ed Stefansky made a special trip to express his importance to Chi Liang.

I have to say that in order to get Ji Liang and rebuild the team around him, the Nets have paid a lot, and the two All-Star stars Marbury and Van Horn were directly abandoned, which also shows the determination of the Nets.

Although he has become one of the best rookies in history, Ji Liang has also passed the rookie period, and his ability to lead the team has not yet been proven.

In addition, no one can guarantee whether Ji Liang will become a model of rookie or peak, which naturally has a certain risk.

"Alas, I contacted Coach Harris a few days ago, even though I mentioned you, but he still rejected me on the grounds of health, and I have no idea of going out of the mountain for the time being!"

When talking about Del Harris, Stefansky sighed lightly, now the Nets are in ruins, if you can invite the 'Silver Fox' Harris coach, it will definitely be a tiger for the Nets.

It's a pity that Harris is 62 years old, his health has long been not as good as before, and he was squeezed out of the head coach position by Jackson, which made him feel disheartened, so he had the idea of retiring.

"That's a shame!"

Ji Liang is not cheating, in fact he respects this coach very much.

Coach Harris has many advantages, he has a strong sense of professionalism, strict training, advanced basketball concepts, delicate technical training, rich experience in on-court command, and is one of the best defensive coaches in the NBA.

In the '90s, it was Coach Harris who brought the Lakers out of the slump and led the team to more than 50 wins in three consecutive seasons. It was also he who single-handedly cultivated the OK combination of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, and when he saw that it was almost time to produce results, he was picked by Jackson with a peach.

"We also looked at Doug Rivers and he was really good and he didn't have a lot of coaching experience, but he still impressed us. By the way, the Magic are also in contact with him, but I believe our Nets are more attractive! ”

As Stefansky said, although the Magic and the Nets are both in a rebuilding period, the Magic have the advantage in terms of attractiveness.

The current Magic team, only Marbury is on the stage, and the rest can't be on the stage.

As for the Nets, in addition to Chi Liang, there are Jason Williams, Armstrong, Billups, Kendall Gill, etc., even if they are not All-Star players, but they are not far from the All-Star level.

"I heard that you're going to have a boxing match with Carl Malone in a few days, how about it, are you sure?"

Stefansky suddenly remembered something, his expression was a little more nervous, to be honest, he was not optimistic about Chi Liang, and he was even more afraid that Chi Liang would be injured, which would be bad for the team.

Even if Ji Liang defeated Rashid Wallace with a near-undamaged attitude, more people are still optimistic about Ma Long.

There is no way, Carl Malone is too strong, especially the pair of unicorn arms, there is no one to compete with.

"Don't worry, I'm sure!"

For this amateur boxing match, Chi Liang is also quite looking forward to it, and his heart is full of thoughts of beating Ma Long.

"Well, I can only wish you a victorious start! I won't bother you with training, if anything, remember to call my personal number, as long as it is within your ability, the team will definitely do it for you! ”

Stefansky and Chi Liang also talked happily, and before leaving, he specially left a personal phone number, and he looked forward to Chi Liang leading the team to shine, so that he could also sit firmly in the position of general manager.

Ji Liang didn't stay in Houston for long, and in fact, Olajuwon didn't have much to teach, and the rest could only rely on training and games to improve.

After leaving Houston, Chi Liang secretly returned to Denver, wearing a mask and a hat along the way, for fear of being discovered by Nuggets fans.

In this month, Chi Liang entrusted Nana to the care of Mr. Smith and Lori.

It's just that no one thought that so many things had happened this month, and Ji Liang was no longer a Nuggets player, and I don't know how Mr. Smith, as a Nuggets fan, would feel.

Knock knock~

After knocking on the door, Ji Liang began to wait.

This time, it was Lori who opened the door, and then a huge shadow shrouded her.

"It turned out to be Uncle Chi Liang, come in!"

Lori struggled to raise her head, looked up at Chi Liang, and then made a gesture of please.

"Why did I become an uncle again, I always feel like I'm a lot older!"

Chi Liang was a little speechless, for this girl from the neck down, the instep up, forming a perfect plane, he had a deep doubt, he called him uncle when they first met, and now he has become an uncle, he is only 20 years old!

Upon entering the room, he saw Mr. Smith get up from the couch and look at him with rather complicated eyes.

"Last season, we made it to the Western Conference Finals, and I thought our Nuggets were going to rise because we had the Denver Light!"

Mr. Smith paused for a moment, then showed an angry expression and continued: "Damn Clooney, he was the one who ruined it all, and if it weren't for his open discrimination against you, you wouldn't have been traded!"

After saying it in one breath, Mr. Smith took a deep breath and felt a lot better.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith!"

"Mr. Chi Liang, it's not your fault, you don't need to be nervous, except for a few radical fans, I and other fans are all on your side!"

After saying that, Mr. Smith stood up and wanted to brew coffee for Ji Liang.

"Mr. Smith, don't be so polite, the purpose of my visit this time, I think you also know, in addition to wanting to pick up Nana, I also want to say goodbye to you!"

Chi Liang was a little sad, he had lived here for more than half a year, and Mr. Smith and Lori took good care of him, so he was naturally a little reluctant.

But now that he's a Nets player, it's clear it's time to say goodbye.

Neither Mr. Smith nor Lori spoke, causing the room to fall silent.

Meow~

At this moment, a little milk cat sprang out of a room, and after screaming milkily, he immediately ran to Chi Liang's side.

Compared to a month ago, Nana is a little older, especially with a bulging belly, plus soft and shiny hair, she is obviously well taken care of.

At this time, Mr. Smith finally said: "At the time of parting, I can only hope that you succeed in the Nets!"

"Thank you for your blessings! Mr. Smith, Lori, feel free to come to me in New York if you have time! ”

After leaving the gate, Ji Liang said goodbye and returned to the apartment with Nana.
