"What? No way! Jack's old face suddenly pulled down: "You are oppression, you are exploitation!" My summer schedule is already full, and I don't have time to train such a milky and dry kid! What are you when I am? Cheap hired labor? ”

When Li Dong saw Jack again, he was still in a neat black suit, but he was a little cleaner than when he saw him before. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, Li Dong looked smiling when he saw everyone, and this time he and Jack gathered with a sunny smile.

Jack didn't want to see this smiling face anymore, he hugged his head and showed a pained expression. Joe Thomas laughed and scolded, "Hey, forget it, man! I know I don't think so, don't you need the raise that Alina has already promised? How much you can get paid depends on your ability! Believe me, Li is definitely an immortal genius, you won't suffer! ”

"I hope so." Jack said depressedly.

"Good news comes one after another!" While the three of them were chatting, Orange Man coach Bill pushed open the door of the café and walked in, his face full of spring breeze, in stark contrast to Jack.

"Even, man, don't tell me you won the lottery, I'll still pull out my pistol!" Jack whistled and said.

Compared to Jack's cynicism, Joe Thomas and Li Dong sat up straight and looked at Coach Bill intently. Li Dong stood up with some restraint: "Coach Bill, it's nice to see you!" ”

"Sit down, little one, feel free." Coach Bill patted Li Dong on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "I think our lineup can be strengthened!" ”

Then he paused and continued: "We've got super small forward Kelly Oubre from Texas! ”

However, the three people sitting in the seat had obviously not heard the name, and showed blank and unincomprehensible expressions.

"Even God, you can be trainers? Super scout for the Bucks? Coach Bill held his head and said in pain, "You haven't even heard of Kelly Oubre?" He averaged 12.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks per game in high school, and he ranked 11th on the ESPN2014 All-American high school list. ”

Jack thought a lot, and he said vigilantly, "Why did you tell me this news?" ”

"Hehe," Coach Bill chuckled twice, then rubbed his hands together and said, "Jack, you know. There aren't many talented players left at the University of Kansas, so you can't watch a team with such a glorious history come out next year, right? ”

"Don't even think about it!" Jack jumped up anxiously: "I have already sacrificed a lot to train Li and him alone!" “

"Don't, you bring one with you, you bring two with you......" Seeing that Jack was about to refuse, Coach Bill put on a smiling face and pasted it, looking like he was clinging to him.

"No, no, no. I'm a principled person with a bottom line......"

……

In the end, however, Jack couldn't resist Coach Bill's struggles and nodded reluctantly.

Li Dong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a seemingly strong and beautiful head coach in front of people to beg a trainer like this for the future of a team. He had a deep admiration for Coach Bill, no matter how much Coach Bill had expressed his disdain for him before, but at least he was a man who truly loved basketball, a head coach who truly made basketball his dream.

In this way, Li Dong lived in Syracuse, Joe Thomas rented a small house of 80 square meters for him, according to his words, first made do with living in the "rat's nest", and when he went to school in the future, he would have the excellent dormitory provided by the University of Kansas to live in, and the conditions were several times better than here.

The only advantage of this rental house is that it is very close to the University of Kansas, and it only takes less than five minutes to walk, which greatly saves Li Dong trouble.

In mid-May, Li Dong officially started special training under Jack and head coach Bill!

Coach Bill: "My training sessions are divided into three main parts. ”

"The first stage is a 40-day basic technical training, and it has always been my aim to start from the basics. To become a qualified basketball player, you must master strong basic skills. The superstars in NBA history, except for some special rebounding wizards like Rodman, are extremely solid in their fundamentals. Physical talent determines a player's ceiling, and basketball fundamentals determine whether a player can develop their potential in their body......"

……

After three months......

On the outdoor playground of the University of Kansas, Jack's hurried call was heard.

"Faster, faster, faster! OK, very good! Jack held up the stopwatch in his hand, "11.04 seconds, Lee, you're getting better and better, and it's faster than before!" ”

Next to Jack was a tall, slender black young man, who screamed with joy when he heard the data, then clapped his hands and gave Li Dong a thumbs up: "Oh my God, Lee, your speed of progress is really amazing." I see your speed has touched the threshold of the NBA's top point guards! ”

"Haha, it's okay!" Li Dong walked over with a smile, covered in sweat. His skin was much darker than before, and his body was much stronger, and the muscles on those two arms were clearly outlined, and others knew that there was a huge amount of energy contained in them just by looking at them.

Li Dong's English level has improved by leaps and bounds, he can already communicate with Jack and Kelly Oubre coherently, of course, it is also because he is used to hearing the pronunciation of the two, if he goes out and meets strangers, Li Dong still has a little difficulty in communication.

"Li, tomorrow is the entrance ceremony, and then you will start studying cultural classes." Jack said.

"Yes, yes."

"So, this year's summer training is over, you and Kelly have made great progress, and then it's time to return to the Pine Eagles to participate in the league!" Jack said calmly. Logically speaking, he should be liberated, but he didn't feel a sense of relief, and he didn't have joy in his heart, and he had a trace of indescribable feeling.

Yes, since he became a trainer, he has never seen such a progressive student, and the strength that has increased upwards has given him a sense of pleasure to continue to tap his potential, and his heart is full of deep reluctance, and he is even looking forward to continuing to train Li Dong next time.

Li Dong and Kelly Oubre glanced at each other, neither of them holding back their words.

The three of them walked to the basketball hall together, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Then it was Jack who was old and fine, and he broke the atmosphere with a smile: "Okay, I'm still a trainer at the University of Kansas, and you will have more opportunities to cooperate with me in the future!" Of course, I think you have to play well first and play well so that you can prove my professionalism. ”

"Don't worry, Coach!" Kelly Oubre said, "Lee and I are going to surprise the rest of the Big Twelve!" ”

Li Dong shook his head, he wanted to say that he would shock the entire NCAA league, but he opened his mouth, and in the end he didn't say it, he was still used to being so low-key.

"Alright, let's go have a big dinner tonight and celebrate this long March special training!" Jack reached out and hooked their necks and smiled.

"Great!" Kelly Oubre screamed excitedly, ran in front of the two excitedly, and then twisted his arms, calves, and waist, and actually danced an inexplicable dance, looking like he had goat epilepsy, which made Li Dong on the side dumbfounded.
