After ten days of special training with Prokopio, the training plan that was originally planned to be half a month ended early, not because Tang Shuai didn't have time, or Prokopio had something to do temporarily, but because Tang Shuai's mastery speed exceeded expectations.

This itself is just a few sets of training methods, after mastering it, Tang Shuai can train alone, Prokopio naturally does not need to spend time here, what Tang Shuai needs to do next is just to stick to this training method by himself.

In late September, US time, nearly a month before the start of the NBA regular season, most of the overseas players have returned to the United States, and as in previous years, some teams have seen spontaneous training scenes.

Tang Shuai originally planned to gather his teammates to train in advance with Knoll and Barnes, but just as he was doing so, an uninvited guest came to visit.

Allison Jenny is the general manager of the NBDL Defenders.

"Hey, my handsome boy, do you miss me?" In addition to being the general manager of the defenders, Jenny is also the cheerleader of the team, with a bold personality and full of wildness.

"Hey, Alison, long time no see." Tang Shuai and Jenny came to greet each other.

There are many ways to greet people in the United States, and this kind of intimate gesture is what Jenny and everyone else do, and according to her words, it seems very kind.

"You're really getting more and more handsome now, and you really can't help but fall in love with it now than when you came to the Defenders......"

"Ahem......" Tang Shuai interrupted Jenny's words, smiled and said, "Why did you come to me?" ”

"Cut, you really don't understand customs." Jenny waved her hand a little disappointed, sat down on the stool, and continued, "I'm here to have good news for you. ”

"Good news?" Tang Shuai also walked to the edge of the stool and sat down, and said with a smile, "Do you want to say that Luke (referring to Wharton) has decided to let me go to you first to find the feel, right?" ”

"You're right." Jenny looked at Tang Shuai with a smile.

Tang Shuai's smile froze, did this Wharton really let him go to the NBDL to find his touch?

"But it's not the Defenders, your name in the league is no lower than those superstars right now, and you probably won't go to that place a second time in your life." Jenny shook her head repeatedly.

"And you just now?" Tang Shuai shook his head and smiled when he heard what Jenny said, what he said seemed completely impossible, but what Jenny said just now still made him couldn't help but wonder.

"Campton, there's a little league in this place, would you be interested in going to it?" Jenny looked at him with a smile.

Campton?

Tang Shuai's brain reacted quickly, and then said: "You are talking about the Drew League?" ”

"So you know." Jenny said with some surprise.

The Drew League, named after the place where it was held, the Charles Drew High School Basketball Arena, a regular school basketball arena in the Campton neighborhood of Los Angeles, was humble and didn't even have a permanent stand.

His founder was Ervin Willis, an ordinary salaryman, but also a crazy and primitive basketball enthusiast, who founded a basketball league with only "basketball", unlike other amateur leagues, where every team and even every player had to go through a rigorous review before they could enter the league.

Under the operation of Dino Smalley, the second president of the Drew League, the league has grown from 6 teams to 20 teams when Willis was founded, but the nature of the league has never changed, there is no rap full of swear words, no players with gangster backgrounds, no malicious foul play, only equality and mutual respect, as Willis said at the beginning of the league, it is a "pure" league.

It is precisely because of this purity that he has been favored by many big-name stars, such as James, Kobe, Harden, George and many other NBA superstars have played on this court, and this is a virtuous circle, the addition of superstars, so that the popularity of this amateur league has been further enhanced.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Drew League is the most high-profile amateur league of the NBA offseason.

"I've been playing in Los Angeles for over a year, and it's probably no stranger to me." Tang Shuai smiled and said.

"You know it's a long offseason and my players and I are going to put together a temporary team to be one of the 20 teams in the Drew League this summer, are you interested, oh no, would you like to be a part of that?" Jenny said bluntly.

"Be part of the team?" Tang Shuai did not express his position immediately.

"yes, of course, as long as you can play one of those games, and according to what I've got, LeBron, Cameron, Russell, Stephen, all the guys who didn't play in the Olympics are ready to show their skills here." Jenny encouraged.

The NBA offseason is long, and like the long game period, it is not an easy time period for NBA players who are used to playing constantly.

The machine will rust after not being used for a long time, and players who haven't played for a long time will naturally feel uncomfortable, and Curry, James, and other players who haven't played in the Olympics to participate in the Drew League don't seem to be as surprised as imagined.

"Can I think about it?" Tang Shuai didn't make a decision immediately, there is still more than a month before the start of the regular season, according to the original plan, he should spend this month in training, but it would be good if there was a chance to train in the competition, but it was necessary for him to discuss this kind of thing with Kupchak, after all, it was not far from the start of the regular season.

"Of course, we still have some players in our squad, you know the Drew league is very demanding, if you want it, you can always call me back." Jenny made a phone call.

"I will." Tang Shuai smiled and nodded.

"So...... Would you like to have dinner with me? Jenny said with a smile.

"No problem, but I might want to say hi to my girlfriend." Tang Shuai said and took out his mobile phone and called Su Mei.

After hanging up the phone, Jenny said with a hint of jealousy: "I didn't expect you to be a dedicated guy." ”

Tang Shuai smiled and stood up: "So, what are we going to eat?" ”

Jenny is the kind of person who looks very put. Swing, but in fact, he is a very measured person, Tang Shuai already knew this when he was on the defenders, otherwise he would not have agreed to come out to eat.

After eating, Jenny said goodbye and returned to the team, and Tang Shuai also followed back to the villa.

In the next few days, Tang Shuai was training while thinking about participating in the Drew League, and in order to maximize the effect of training, he found Stephenson.

After confirming that he had signed with the Lakers, Stephenson turned around and flew from Indiana to Los Angeles.

This is the third day of training for the two, and in one of Stephenson's attacks, Tang Shuai successfully defended Stephenson's attack with blindfolding.

"Damn, you defense, why are you so ......"

"Congratulations master, your President's Defense Pack has reached the requirements for upgrading to the normal version, do you want to upgrade?"

Tang Shuai was smiling and listening to Stephenson's complaints, at this moment, a familiar voice came from his ears, and in the next second, Stephen in front of him disappeared, and what caught his eye was an endless grassland, dotted with a little red in the middle, which was more vibrant than the last time.

"Master." As he was watching, Xiao Luo floated in front of him again.

Tang Shuai withdrew his gaze from a distance, reached out and touched Xiao Luo's head, and then pulled the equipment bar in front of him.

The President's Defensive Bag (Weakened Version), a basket-colored defensive bag, was knocked off Battier early on, when the basket light was dimming, and inside it, a purple glow was faintly revealed.

Compared to packing, it is much more difficult to upgrade the skill pack, which is why he has so many weakened exclusive skill packs, but there has always been only one exclusive breakthrough pack.

It is no exaggeration to say that the upgrade of this skill pack in front of him was completely unexpected.

"Master, the skill pack can meet the upgrade requirements through matches and training, and the upgrade of the president's defensive pack is a result of the master's recent training." Xiao Luo saw that Tang Shuai didn't move, and opened his mouth to explain.

Tang Shuai nodded, just about to confirm the upgrade, when suddenly a lightning thought crossed his mind.

Competition, training!

This is the only way to level up your skill pack, in other words, if you want to upgrade your skill set, you have to use it constantly during competitions or training.

This point was firmly in his mind when Xiao Luo first told him, but after all, when it comes to the game, it is not up to him to decide how to attack alone, after all, no matter what he does, the goal is to win.

In this way, it makes sense to upgrade the President's Defensive Pack, after all, compared to other offensive methods, the Presidential Defensive Pack is still used a lot in the game, and it is a blue skill pack itself, and the requirements for upgrading will be much lower.

But at the same time, Xiao Luo also said that the effect of training is far less than that of competition, that is, competition is the most efficient way to upgrade the skill package.

Match, Drew League!

Jenny was immediately contacted by him about looking for him a few days ago, the Drew League is an amateur league, and stars like him go there, definitely the core of the attack, and the win or defeat of the game there is not so important, and the defensive pressure will be much less.

In other words, he can play as much as he wants without any restrictions.

As soon as he had this thought, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Master, you are so clever!" At this moment, Xiao Luo leaned over her head and rubbed it in his arms for a while, her thoughts communicated with Tang Shuai, and she already knew it without Tang Shuai saying it.

"I think so too!" Tang Shuai reached out and touched Xiao Luo's head, and said with a laugh. (To be continued.) )
