Chapter 46: Nos. 1 and 8
Every team will have a make-up photo shoot for the new season, and each player on the roster will have a separate shot, which is not a big deal, but there are some make-up photos that not every player has the opportunity to do.
For example, it is a makeup photo of a trio of two people.
Such photos are usually used as team promotion, such as the makeup photos taken by the Heat Big Three, OK Combination, and Yao Mai Combination before training camp, even if they are now on the Internet, they can be searched if they want to come.
In other words, the players who usually participate in this kind of makeup photo shoot are basically the core of the team in the new season.
The Bulls are determined to completely rebuild this summer, and the star players of the original team, Butler, Rondo and Wade have all been traded, and the star effect has dropped several notches.
However, the dwarf also has to pull out the general, and the makeup photos of the core members who cooperate with the team's publicity still have to be taken.
LaVine, as a two-time slam dunk king, is naturally the best one in the current Bulls lineup, but what does Foreman mean by letting Li Ming join him? !
Could it be that the core of the Bulls' new season is him and LaVine?!
Holiday was stunned, looking at Li Ming's eyes became a little different, it was not easy for him to have this position, so he has always cherished it, he doesn't want to be the next Ricky Davis.
"Well, are you going to continue?!" LaVine walked over to them, although he asked the two of them, but it was Holiday who looked at him, the latter looked ugly, he knew that LaVine was saying this to him, but there was no way, the status of the other team's team was there, and it was he who really fell out and suffered.
"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Holiday could only leave with Valentine and Nwaba unwillingly.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Laven shook his head speechlessly, and said to Li Ming: "Man, you really don't make people worry!" ”
Li Ming smiled slightly, he didn't justify anything, he couldn't help it when trouble came, as a Chinese person, he always only followed one sentence, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, hum! If you don't beat him to the ground, then you won't be called a man!
"Anyway, thank you so much this time!"
In the afternoon, Li Ming continued to train, Dunn and Payne naturally participated together, as the first time to train with Li Ming, Payne was also secretly stunned by Li Ming's hard work, and said in his heart: This is too hard! It's all about training.
Dunn was not surprised, but he also couldn't understand why Li Ming was out of breath and still kept shooting so quickly.
But it's not a matter if he doesn't understand, anyway, Li Ming himself just knows the reason.
With Kerr's three-point shooting package, he no longer needs to adjust his hand shape or find the best shot rhythm, these things are included in the three-point shooting package, and the only thing he has to do now is to familiarize himself with these things and form muscle memory.
The principle is equivalent to that the central god-level system has more than ten years of experience in shooting three-pointers, and now it is waiting for the body to get used to it, and the speed of mastering it is much faster than that of other players, and the trainer will help adjust the hand shape on the side, and the breathing rate will be changed much faster.
Therefore, in the second half of the training, Li Ming's three points became more and more accurate, and it was already a common phenomenon to score more than a dozen threes in a row from different angles.
"I'll go, this 。。。。。。 Is this guy so good at three points!? Payne was obviously stunned, as a guard, although he also has a good three-point hand, but he definitely does not have such a powerful three-point ability as Li Ming during training, and it is already the limit to be able to score ten in a row, where is like Li Ming, it is no different from eating and drinking.
Two figures suddenly flashed in his mind - the Warriors' Splash Brothers, I'm afraid only those two perverts who have reached the peak of three-point definition can hit more ferocious than Li Ming in training!
"Brother, I haven't seen you in a few days! You've improved so much in your three-point ability?! Dunn also smacked his tongue, "What a freak!" ”
Li Ming smiled softly and replied: "Where is this, I feel that I can be more accurate!" ”
This sentence is not a joke, as a two-time All-Star three-point shooting champion, Steve Kerr's shooting rate in the open position is naturally needless to say, Li Ming has adapted to 70 percent, and when he is fully adapted, the shooting rate in training will naturally be greatly improved.
Dunn and Payne laughed dumbly, they could still improve, which gave them no way to live.
。。。。。。
After two more days of training, when I went to the training gym again that day, LaVine unexpectedly waited in the gym, and smiled when he saw him: "Sure enough! You don't have to think about it, just come to the stadium! Let's go, today is the day to take makeup photos! ”
Li Ming nodded, and then went to the locker room to change the jersey for the new season, he has already selected and submitted the number of the jersey for the new season, it is the No. 1 jersey used by Rose, the youngest MVP in history that has brought infinite hope to the Bulls.
"Oh, brother, the ambition is not small!" LaVine watched Li Ming change into the No. 1 jersey, and this sentence came out in an instant.
Everybody knows what this jersey means.
"As long as I'm in the Bulls, I'm going to do what No. 1 didn't do and retire this jersey with the Heat!" Li Ming silently swore in his heart that a long time ago, Rose was a player he used to like very much, but unfortunately a steady stream of injuries made this former proud son of the sky gradually reduced to a marginal figure, and in the past two years, he has become a wanderer, from the Bulls to the Knicks, from the Knicks to the current base salary to join the Cavaliers, I have to say that it is sighing.
The Bulls now have a total of four retirement numbers, Jordan's 23 and Pippen's 33 Needless to say, the other two numbers are also very famous, No. 10 Bob Lefour is a super scorer in the NBA 70s, and he has been added for 20 consecutive years at his peak, but unfortunately there were too many fierce people in that era, and he was not too famous; There is also a No. 4 fan who may be familiar with him, his name is Jerry Sloan, and he is one of the NBA 1000 coaches who has created the Utah Double Shake and the Utah New Double Shake.
If No. 1 can float above the arena of the United Center with these four people, it can be regarded as a successful end to the seniors who have struggled in this jersey!
"You return to me, aren't you the same, your ambition is not small!"
Li Ming glanced at LaVine, his jersey number is No. 8, this number is not ordinary, Kobe Bryant, who was still in the OK combination, was wearing the No. 8 jersey, and in 2007, Kobe Bryant was once very close to the Bulls, and he almost completed the seismic trade of the league at that time. Fortunately, at that time, the owner of the Lakers, Buss Sr., came forward to appease, and only then did he have the first person in the league.
Combined with this information, Lavin's choice of No. 8 is also full of meaning!
。。。。。。。。
Let's tell you about Ricky Davis! Old fans may know, new fans may know less.
Ricky Davis is a rookie in 98, selected by the Hornets with the 28th pick in the first round, the first three years were dispensable, from the Heat was traded to the Cavaliers and began to exert power, especially in the 02~03 season, the average data per game is also 20 plus 5 plus 5, but unfortunately that year the Cavaliers selected the little emperor LeBron James, as soon as he came up, he was the core position, Ricky Davis quit, excluded LeBron, and was finally swept away, and then because of this self-confidence was damaged, it took several years to recover, However, the average points per game never exceeded 20 again.
One of his most famous phrases is that I thought LeBron was here to help me!
Then, ask for tickets, ask for tickets, ask for tickets every day!!
