The Lions' grouping confrontation began, and this informal confrontation training did not require jumping balls, and assistant coach Ryan Brown directly let the main team attack first.

Li Chenglong is 1.94 meters tall and weighs only 83 kilograms, which makes him look thin and tall, and Andre Jackson is actually only 1.88 meters tall, shorter than Li Chenglong, but weighs 91 kilograms, which is why Li Chenglong is always bullied by the other party on the court.

The first ball of the main team did not let the quarterback Jackson attack, but the big forward Martin Taylor hit a mid-range jumper, Martin Taylor, who is 2.05 meters tall, is the team's main scorer, and it is normal for him to play the first ball.

The ball was converted, the point guard of the bench team brought the ball to the front court, the bench team was full of miscellaneous characters, the backup point guard White Thomas sought a breakthrough by himself, and the main point guard who defended him, Harry Scott, easily blocked his breakthrough route, and Thomas had to pass the ball out.

Li Chenglong received the ball at the top of the arc and immediately shot the basket, Jackson opposite him was one step away from him and roared and pressed up, there was enough room to shoot, Li Chenglong ignored Jackson who was screaming, and with a flick of his wrist, the ball drew an arc and flew to the basket.

Swish!

Three-pointers scored.

Li Chenglong didn't care about Jackson, who had a constipated expression on his face, and ran back after giving a thumbs up to Thomas Tree who was passing, thinking that this shooting bracelet worked well.

Jackson was a little stunned, he knew that this Chinese body was thin and afraid of confrontation, and he may have been pressed on the bench for a long time and may have a shadow in his heart, and in the past, he only needed to roar and rush up to interfere with the opponent's crosshair.

Jackson didn't care about this goal, there have been times when interference has failed before, but every time he used to feel the opponent's intention to avoid his physical confrontation, this time the kid didn't seem to take him seriously at all, as if he didn't exist at all.

Jackson could only tell himself that this time it should have been an accident, even if he could score? I can still beat him with my physical advantage.

The main team's offense, Jackson took the initiative to ask for the ball outside, Li Chenglong immediately pasted it, Jackson used his physical advantage to push Li Chenglong, but Li Chenglong will soon stick it back, the moment of the top can be enough for Jackson to shoot once, but Jackson needs to rush to the basket to dunk to be sure, the two sides have fought three times in a row, Jackson had no choice but to end the attack with a high jumper, and under the interference of Li Chenglong, who has a height advantage, the basketball bounced out.

Jackson became more and more depressed, in the past, he used to use his body to open the ball once enough for him to rush to the basket, and today the Chinese kid has somehow become active defensively and is not afraid of confrontation?

The main team and the substitute team on the court come and go, the confrontation training has been going on for more than ten minutes, assistant coach Ryan Brown and head coach Joe Jones sit together, Brown holds the data record table in his hand, and the data on the above can be calculated to show that the main team is leading the substitute team 32:23, but at this time the two are not concerned about this score, the current score is a normal score, the substitute team can't beat the main team, they are more concerned about the data comparison of the two players.

Bruce Lee, who shot 3-of-5 from the field and 1-of-2 from three-point range, scored seven points, while Andre Jackson, the main point guard opposite him, had just four points on 2-of-5 shooting.

Jones said to his assistant, "Do you see that? ”

"Well, Bruce seems to be more focused on the court, a lot more motivated defensively, and more decisive offensively, and he seems to be starting to find a knack for playing."

"Hmmm......"

Jones pondered for a few seconds and said to Assistant Coach Brown: "You go and let Bruce and Andre change their vests, and let Bruce change to the main team to see the effect." ”

After Brown walked away, Jones said to himself, "It should work a lot better this way." ”

When the assistant coach came over and asked the two to change the vests, Jackson had an incredible expression, and Li Chenglong had no expression, and in the end Jackson reluctantly exchanged the vests, he was just a role player in the team, and there was no room for him to object to this kind of thing.

Li Chenglong has been mentally prepared for this, if he can't even deal with a stupid person who can only use his body to bump around, then what else can he say to play in the NBA.

After exchanging vests, Li Chenglong obviously felt that the offense and defense were much smoother, he partnered with Smith O'Connor, O'Connor hit the basket, Li Chenglong shot on the outside, and there are difficult roles that can also be dealt with by O'Connor, a muscular guy.

At the end of the 20-minute confrontation training, the main team won 53-31, and Li Chenglong hit another three-pointer and 1 mid-range shot.

After Li Chenglong changed to the main team, Old Jones has been standing on the sidelines and watching, and it is obvious from his expression that he is very satisfied with the result of this change.

Although Old Man Jones didn't say anything, anyone who cares can see that Li Chenglong is closer to the position of the main quarterback.

In the following time, the Lions conducted some tactical coordination training, and Li Chenglong was always arranged on the side of the main team.

※※※

The team's training didn't end until noon, and Lee and O'Connor had lunch together and returned to the dormitory, where his roommate had already returned from class.

"Bruce, where have you been? Didn't you say you still have a headache and need to rest? ”

"I got a lot better of the headache and it happened that Coach Jones called, so I went to the team to practice."

"Okay, Bruce, as much as you love basketball, we're graduating soon, and you should be out of that damn rotten team, like I quit the baseball team, graduation and work are what we should be thinking about now, you know, in the Ivies, the probability of being an athlete is a hundred times lower than the probability of being a billionaire."

"Actually, there's no conflict between being an athlete and being a billionaire."

The two gaged like this, but Li Chenglong did not accept his roommate's opinion.

Randy Wilson, a young man from rural Alabama, is Jackie Lee's roommate, and the two have always had a good relationship, that's why he said these reminders.

But when he heard Li Chenglong's goal, Wilson couldn't help but shout: "Are you crazy? Do you want to get into the NBA? Do you know? Columbia has only five NBA players in its history, and four of them have only played soy sauce roles for one or two seasons, and your goal is even more difficult than winning the Nobel Prize next year. ”

"Isn't the current NBA league president David Stern our big brother?"

"But David Stern didn't join the NBA as a player, he joined the NBA as a lawyer."

"Some things always need to be done."

"Wait, Bruce, let me give you a brief explanation, the Ivy League is at the bottom of the entire NCAA basketball, the Columbia Lions are at the bottom of the Ivy League, and you can only play as a bench with the Lions, do you think you're going to the draft next year with a dizzy head manager to pick you?"

"Actually, today I've got the position of the main man."

"That's the equivalent of 10,000 steps down by one step, does that make any difference?"

"You have to take the first step before you can think about the next nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps."

"It's over, those guys at our hospital are all quacks, your brain was completely broken a few days ago, and they didn't check anything."

"Randy, don't worry, it's not as serious as you think, I know what I'm doing."

"No, no, no, it's much worse than I thought."

Wilson finally gave up admonishing Li Chenglong, he could only say good luck, but he was not optimistic about Li Chenglong's NBA dream at all, and Li Chenglong would not tell him the source of his confidence, magical equipment is his own secret, no one can say a secret.
