The burly black figure is LeBron James.

LeBron was dressed in a basketball suit, in a good mood, wearing all-black sunglasses, surrounded by three or five bodyguards and assistants, and walked into the basketball hall of Kyoto University.

"Your shooting wrist isn't loose enough, it's too stiff — don't be so stiff, boy, it's not about falling in love with a girl."

LeBron swaggered across the basketball court while making jokes with "color" and walked over to Ben Simmons, who was standing at the free throw line. He took off his sunglasses, threw them to the assistant behind him without looking back, and beckoned to Andrew Bogut near the baseline: "Come on, give me a basketball." ”

Bogut didn't dare to slack off and passed the ball to LeBron.

LeBron received the ball in his hand, and Simmons subconsciously stepped away from the free throw line to the side to give up the position to James Huang. Zhan Huang turned the basketball a few times in the palm of his hand, stood still, bent, raised his wrist, and shot the ball.

The basketball draws a wonderful parabola, hollows through the hoop and into the net.

Simmons looked at LeBron's shooting hand on the parabolic end. Gentle and decisive, it feels like a super pitcher.

Ben Simmons vividly remembers when he first started playing with LeBron James as a teenager, who had just entered the league and was a genius from St. Mary's High School. His shooting posture is definitely not standard, his elbows are turned out, his body is stiff, his trajectory is too high, and he is even a little ugly. More often than not, he's playing entirely on his physical gifts, but more than a decade later...

"One more goal."

This time, LeBron took a stride, flashed behind Simmons, and stood outside the three-point line, Bogut grabbed the basketball that had just been caught in the net, and the basketball flew over Simmons' head.

"Ben, come and take a look at me!"

LeBron demanded.

Simmons took a step closer, and LeBron lowered his center of gravity and placed the basketball room between his hips. He was still babbling and provocative: "I will definitely score this goal." You can't stop me, baby kangaroo, let me see what you're up to! ”

Simmons was called a baby kangaroo, and naturally he was a little belligerent, and he completely wrapped his arms around LeBron while his center of gravity was still low. Unexpectedly, Zhan Huang took Simmons' defense seriously at all, he scooped the basketball completely from the right side of his body, raised it to the top of his head, and jumped backwards at the same time.

It's too late for the defense to jump and block.

Zhan Huang shot a three-pointer above Simmons' head, and it was a perfect arc, hollow into the net!

"What am I talking about! Little Ben! ”

LeBron jumped up like a hip-hop singer and waved his hands wildly. Ben Simmons looked back with the last glimmer of hope and was devastated to see the basketball go into the net.

"It's like I can't shoot like that, LeBron. I've been practicing for so long..."

LeBron took his glasses back, stuck them on the bridge of his nose, and took Ben Simmons under his armpit — they weren't very tall, but LeBron was like a big brother, and Simmons was a child who was educated — and he said, "Not long enough, my man." It's not long enough. I've been practicing shooting every summer since I entered the league, and I've been practicing until now. The feel is not a mysterious inspiration, you can have it after a good night's sleep. It is tireless to train muscle memory. With each additional shot you make, with the correct shooting position, your body muscles get closer to remembering that feel, until..."

"But how many balls do you have to throw?"

"Let's get 30,000 balls first!"

"Thirty thousand balls?!" Like a frightened fawn, Simmons broke free of LeBron's arm on his shoulder.

"That's right."

"How long does it take to shoot 30,000 balls?"

"If you do what I'm asking you to do, 1,000 free throws, 1,000 mid-range jumpers, 1,000 three-point shots a day. Then no more, no less, 10 days to finish. ”

Ben Simmons looked over LeBron with some pleading help and looked at fellow countryman Andre Bogut. Bogut spread his hands, his expression was helpless: just a few minutes ago, he seemed to have been deprived of his job as a coach, and at most he was Zhan Huang's assistant teacher, and he couldn't save Simmons. Simmons turned back to look at LeBron with some disbelief, and the latter's eyes were hidden under his sunglasses and a disdainful expression on his face, as if to say: Is this okay?!

Sure enough, the conditions offered by Emperor Zhan are beyond doubt:

"I'll stay and train with you, you shoot 30,000 balls, and I will shoot 30,000 balls!"

LeBron James also has to shoot 30,000 balls in special training?!

"Now that you've signed up with my agency, Klutch, I want you to be the strongest and most well-rounded fighter." Emperor James wants you to come to the Lakers to take over his class, but before that, you have to prove to the Emperor that you are invincible! Ben Simmons couldn't help but be shocked. Although he joined the agency founded by Zhan Huang as soon as he entered the league, and his multiple triple-doubles in his first year were also compared to the little emperor's rookie season, he took Emperor James's class, followed his footsteps to Los Angeles, the city of angels of SHOTIME "show time", and put on the purple and gold jersey, which he never dared to think of, nor heard from LeBron's mouth.

If this is really the case, these 30,000 balls, you have to practice if you don't practice!

"Okay, 30,000 balls is 30,000 balls." Simmons threw the basketball into the basket (unexpectedly, by no bounds) and threw down the phrase, "When are we going to start?" ”

LeBron nodded in satisfaction. He snapped his fingers behind him, and a man in a suit who looked like an assistant walked up, slid the iPad in his arms, and then said respectfully: "James, your next event is a fan autograph session at four o'clock in the afternoon, and there is an event at seven o'clock in the finals of the Youth Nike Basketball Game, which requires you to attend..."

"Alright." LeBron made a gesture to stop, "Then it looks like we have at most 1 hour to go, and it's still in time." ”

"Looking at the traffic situation in Kyoto today, and the location of the fan autograph session is not far away, you have 80 minutes."

"Got it."

LeBron James turned to Simmons and said, "Why don't you shoot 500 three-pointers and warm up — how's that, Ben Kangaroo baby?!" ”
