Chapter 19: Tim Glover

When Li Chenglong woke up in the morning, a pair of arms were wrapped around him.

I was tired last night. Jefferney Moody was still asleep, and Li Chenglong got out of bed gently and called for food.

In the afternoon, the two came out of the hotel and went back to school together.

Soon, everyone at Columbia University knew that the big star of the basketball team was officially dating the beautiful woman who became famous in the national championships.

After a week in a hotel near the school, Mr. Lee felt like he was about to be hollowed out.

Not the body, but the wallet.

For Li Chenglong, who does not have a normal source of income, the daily hotel room fee is a large expense, plus some necessary equipment, if Li Chenglong did not work during the holiday and had some savings, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Jevernie, I'm going to be out of New York for a while." After another passion, Li Chenglong said with the other party's smooth back.

"Leaving New York? Where to? ”

"Chicago, my agent put me in touch with a training gym and I'm going to do a month-long training session that will help me adapt to the NBA faster in the future."

"Well, I'll go over to see you when I have time, and when I graduate next year, I'll have more time with you."

These few days are when the two are like glue, and Moody's is obviously reluctant to leave Li Chenglong.

On April 1, Lee and Tom Hammer boarded a plane to Chicago.

During this time, the NCAA National Championship also came to an end, and Oden's Ohio State eliminated Columbia University and finally reached the NCAA Finals, where they faced defending champions the University of Florida and waited for a life-and-death battle tomorrow night.

Everyone thought that Auden would be a real challenge and have his toughest game, because the University of Florida has the interior duo of Al Horford and Joakim Noah, who relied on the inside combination of Horford and Noah to beat their opponents in the finals by 18 points in last year's NCAA tournament.

Everyone's eyes are attracted by the finals, tomorrow night the NBA will not arrange games and give in to the NCAA finals, and the former dark horse Columbia University is gradually forgotten, only the fans in New York still remember Columbia, they are still thinking that if they beat the OA in the first place, it is likely that Columbia will reach the finals, and the game with Columbia University is also the most difficult one for the OA to win.

At this time, Li Chenglong was checking his attributes on the plane, and after more than half a year of competition, Li Chenglong's various statistics have also improved.

The three-point attribute is 73, which is 2 points higher than before, the mid-range attribute is 68, the free throw attribute is 86, the increase is 1 point, the single defense attribute is 48, the increase is 10 points, the assistant defense attribute is 64, the increase is 5 points, the steal attribute is 55, the increase is 4 points, and the overall attribute is 70, which is 7 points.

Through the competition, you can see that these attributes have improved. Maybe it was the stimulation of the magical equipment, Li Chenglong felt that his body had a second development, and his height seemed to have increased, although he had not measured it in detail, but he could vaguely feel this change.

Arriving in Chicago, Hammer takes Lee to a private training gym in downtown Chicago, where he meets his future partner, Tim Glover.

Li Chenglong only learned from the plane that the training gym that Hammer found for him was opened by a famous NBA trainer.

Lee Chenglong is very impressed with Tim Glover, he used to be Jordan and Pippen's personal trainer, as Joe became famous, Glover also became a famous trainer in the NBA, and later trained Wade, Kobe, Maddy and Arenas. Li Chenglong can know Glover, mainly because Glover will expose the famous flu night 'shady' of Joe's gang leader in a TV interview in the future.

In the 96/97 season finals, the Bulls led by Joe and the Jazz led by the Utah Shuangsha met in a narrow way, the first four games were tied 2-2, and the fifth game of the battle of Tianwang Mountain was held at the home of the Jazz's Devils, but the night before the game, the Qiao gang leader suddenly had a high fever, and the Bulls claimed that they had a serious flu and were likely to miss the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

But at the beginning of the game, Joe Gang Leader still appeared in the lineup, but the Joe Gang Leader, who had a fever of 38 degrees, played like Yoneda Ko in the first quarter, and the Bulls trailed the Jazz by 13 points in the first quarter, but at the beginning of the second quarter, Joe Gang Leader began to find his form, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, and the Bulls recovered a lot of points difference, only 4 points behind the Jazz at halftime.

The high fever and weakness of the Joe gang played the first half, and there must be enough time to rest in the third quarter, when the Bulls' coaching staff thought about it, if the Jazz took advantage of Joe's absence in the third quarter to stretch the score to 20 points, then let the Joe gang take a good rest and return to the home court to fight, but the Jazz did not seize the opportunity, they only led the Bulls by 8 points at the end of the third quarter, so the perfect Jordan in the fourth quarter returned.

Joe scored 15 more points in the fourth quarter, and made consecutive free throws in the last minute and made a rare three-pointer, the Bulls won the battle of Tianwang Mountain 90-86, took the initiative in the series, and returned to the home court to take away the Jazz with a big score of 4-2 to win the championship.

At that time, everyone was shocked by Jordan's strength, a sudden flu, a high fever of 38 degrees and a score of 38 points, this is definitely one of the battles of Qiao's gang leader. As soon as the game ended, Jordan fell into Pippen's arms and was helped off the court, and in the fourth quarter of the game, Jordan's face was really waterfall sweat, sweat flowed out of the groove on his face, people with common sense know that it is definitely abnormal weak sweat, these are classic shots.

Afterwards, everyone was admiring Jordan's strength, and not many people paid attention to why Jordan had a flu break, and many years later, Jordan's personal trainer Tim Glover said it on the show, saying that it was definitely food poisoning, not the flu.

At 9 p.m. before the game, the Bulls felt a little hungry after discussing tactics, but the local Utah hotel where they were staying claimed that the chef was off work and could no longer serve food, so the Bulls ordered takeout pizza, Glover said.

The Finals schedule was to go three consecutive road trips in Utah, and the Bulls had been there for more than a week, when everyone knew they were living there. They ordered pizza, but five people brought it back and forth, and everyone else was surprised that they didn't eat the pizzas, only Jordan, who was really hungry.

In the middle of the night, Jordan suddenly called his personal trainer Tim Glover, and when Glover brought people into the room, Jordan was sweating profusely and curled up on the bed, unable to even stand up, and they guessed that Jordan had food poisoning, and after checking and dealing with it, it was almost impossible for Jordan to attend the battle of Tianwang Mountain the next day.

Before the game, the Bulls had stated that Jordan was a sudden flu in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and the Jordan team also thought that it was a good publicity stunt to lead the team to win when they were sick, and the league knew about it and hoped not to make a big deal about it, so Jordan has always been regarded as a sudden flu.

Li Chenglong knew about Glover because he was later interviewed on the TV station and revealed the events of that year, and after understanding, he learned that Glover had also worked as a trainer for many stars, and the most obvious effect was Wade.

In the 05/06 season, Wade and O'Neal teamed up to win the championship, and Wade also won the Finals MVP, but Wade was unlucky in the next two years, and suffered major injuries for two or three months in two consecutive seasons, and his condition became worse and worse, many people thought that Wade was likely to be a rapidly declining meteor, but in the summer of 08, Wade broke out in the 08/09 season after Glover's training and won the scoring title, which was also the only scoring champion in Wade's career.

Glover later worked as a trainer for Kobe, and Kobe Bryant's two consecutive championships also had his credit.

The reason why Li Chenglong was able to come to Glover's training gym is because the NBA season is not over yet, and there are no stars in Glover's training gym for the time being. It is said that during the summer offseason, NBA stars have been training in the training hall for a long time.
