"Quick, faster."

Skyles clapped his hands, Li Dong dribbled quickly, flew three steps on the three-point line, and glided in the air for a distance before picking up the basket.

Subsequently, the rest of the dribblers also followed Li Dong to make a layup, but compared with Li Dongyi, the speed was obviously much slower.

On the other side of the side frame court, the trainer specially invited by Orlando held a bat-resistant bag in his hand and withstood Vucevic's back-to-back singles under the basket one after another. "Use a little more force, and keep your feet steady!"

It's a closed practice, not just the Orlando Magic, the Hawks are in the same Phillips arena, but they're in a separate training gym, and the two teams can't see each other.

After Li Dong did a few sets of dribble switchback runs, he began to do jump shooting training, which is a regular part of his daily training, at least 1,000 mid-to-long-range shots.

"Lee seems to have gotten more accurate!"

Assistant coach Weiss is Skyles' right-hand man, mainly responsible for the personal development plan of the team's players, and has a particularly in-depth analysis of Li Dong at every stage.

"Oh? How so? Skyles wondered why he hadn't seen it.

"Since the All-Star break, Li Dong's overall shooting percentage has not improved, but his mid-to-long-range shooting percentage has increased by 7 percentage points, and at the same time, his foul making rate is almost the same as before the All-Star break, so what we see is his skyrocketing scoring data after the All-Star break, averaging nearly 27 points per game throughout March and April." Bob pushed his glasses and analyzed them reasonably.

"The Eagles are now desperate to contain Li Dong, as long as he holds the ball, someone will come over to help defend immediately." Skyles spoke of his distress, actually. If Li Dong is a player who has been in the league for three years, it is estimated that he will not need to worry about it, because the superstar will definitely handle this kind of thing by himself.

"Lee's passing is very good, he used to play point guard in college." Weiss gave his opinion. "In fact, most of the NBA stars will still share the ball when they encounter a bag, and ordinary players shoot with a high shooting percentage in the face of no defense."

Vis shrugged. "Maybe in the first game, people were a little nervous, and if the next game the Eagles were like that, and we hit some shots, they might not be able to do that," he said. ”

"Makes sense." Skeles nodded, "Packing, splitting, and shooting in the open position, it looks like we have to play more blocks between Li Dong and Oladipo." ”

The two of them were talking, and Li Dong on the court gradually entered a good shooting situation. Consecutive shots from all angles, very fast.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The crisp sound of the basketball spinning through the net echoed in the training hall, and the sound of harmony with everyone, the sound of heavy breathing after practice, and the sound of words exchanged were woven into the most moving melody.

……

Gainesville, University of Florida Campus.

Xing Jinwenxin met Su Anqi, a classmate who is also an economics major, Su Anqi is a Chinese-American with Taiwanese parents who immigrated to the United States at a young age.

The two of them have faces of similar skin colors, and it doesn't take long for school to start. I got to know each other, very close and good, and often studied together in class.

It's Saturday and there are no classes in the evening. Su Anqi knocked on Xing Jinwen's room door.

"Xing Wen'er, Xing Wen'er, are you going to the library to read a book?"

Her Chinese is somewhat non-standard, but she still insists on using Chinese to communicate with her compatriots.

Xing Jinwen's voice came from inside the door, "Wait a minute, Anqi." I'll open the door right away. ”

After half a ring, Xing Jinwen opened the door of the bedroom, his hair was wet, wafting with the smell of fresh perfume, and when he saw Anqi, he showed a sweet smile.

"Angel, you're here."

Su Anqi also laughed, showed two small tiger teeth, and walked in very familiarly.

"Are your roommates out playing again? Their lives are truly rich. As soon as Su Anqi saw that there was no one in the dormitory, she knew what was going on.

"Well, yes, they have a date, and they went out early in the morning."

"Hey, I'm going to roll the sheets with my boyfriend again." Angel smiled, her nose wrinkled, and she had an expression that I knew what your roommate was doing as soon as I guessed.

Xing Jinwen's face flushed slightly, and he said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Angel snorted, "I'm not talking nonsense, it is!" ”

At this time, she had already walked to Xing Jinwen's desk, Xing Jinwen's computer was still on, and the voice of the ESPN host broadcast live sounded on the half screen, and the camera immediately switched to Phillips in Atlanta.

"Wow, NBA!"

As if she had discovered a new continent, Su Anqi sat on Xing Jinwen's chair, operated the mouse with her hand, and slid back and forth.

"Xing Wen'er, do you still like to watch the NBA? The playoff game between the Hawks and the Magic looks intense. ”

"Ahh Xing Jinwen was stunned and said with a smile, "Yes, of course I like to watch NBA games, this is the second game between the Hawks and the Magic, it's very exciting." ”

Su Anqi was a little surprised, and a little incredible, "I always thought you were a school-top girl, but I didn't expect you to like to watch sports, or fight against such a fierce basketball game, wow, it's unbelievable." ”

Xing Jinwen didn't know what to say, did she want her to tell Angel herself that she liked to watch the NBA purely because her boyfriend was a player who played in the NBA?

"Orlando Magic, hey, there's an Asian player!"

At this time, Angel, who was staring at the screen, found something magical, and she blinked her eyes wide, feeling that it didn't match the general situation of the black movement in her impression!

"Who is this, is it Chinese?" On the screen, Li Dong hit a three-pointer on a jumper, and the Magic led the Hawks by seven points at 45-38, ending the second quarter with 4 minutes and 22 seconds left.

Xing Jinwen rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Yes, he is Chinese, Anqi, don't you know him?" ”

Su Anqi chuckled, "But I only know Yao Ming, who is he, he feels very powerful, he has scored two goals in a row." ”

"His name is Li Dong, a member of the Orlando Magic team, Eun...... It's pretty impressive. Xing Jinwen introduced it concisely, and when he said the last sentence, he unconsciously raised his little head, feeling that his face was quite bright.

"Hey, it's time to pause, okay, let's go Xing Wen'er, go read a book." Angel saw that the game was about to take a timeout and got up to her feet.

But Xing Jinwen shook his head, "Anqi, I still want to finish watching the game, I won't go to the library today." ”

Su Anqi was puzzled, "Xing Wen'er, you actually like to watch basketball games so much?" God, I think it's crazy, we're studying economics...... But it's your personal hobby, and I respect you, it's very good! Tsk, with your stature, it's easy to be an NBA cheerleader. ”

Xing Jinwen covered his face, Anqi was very outgoing, and she spoke too straightforwardly......
