Rock Park is a one-of-a-kind mecca for street basketball.

Holcomby-Locke, an employee of the New York Parks Department, founded a basketball tour in 1950 to help poor children stay on the streets and enter college, and Rock Park was the first stop on the tour.

The main headache for the park is that the net at Rock Park always fell apart in less than two days, and eventually the park manager simply stopped changing the net, so to this day the bare hoop is still a striking symbol of the street court.

The Nets' role is to slow down the ball's fall, and it's also a striking sign when shooting from three-point range. Basketball courts without nets bring a whole new level of fun to street basketball.

Early street players rarely shot from distance, preferring to score with dunks or layups, for which they had to shake off their defenders first, giving rise to a variety of flashy dribble passes.

The '60s were an era of street heroes, with Hammond the Destroyer, Earl McNicolt the Goat, and Richard Cockland, the toothpick boy, making Rock Park famous.

The hoods of cars parked on the side of the stadium are the best sideline seats, the bridge on 155th Street is the second-floor box, and the rooftops of the high-rise buildings around the park are cheap seats.

NBA superstars come here to compete with streetball stars, such as "Basketball Emperor" Wilt-Chamberlain, "Dr. J" Irving, "Miniature" Archibald, Covance, and "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar are all regulars in Rock Park.

At the end of the 19th century, the street ball king Raff Alstom, the black widow Tyrone Evans, and Roshan Troy Jackson dominated Rock Park, setting off a new round of street ball storm.

Rock Park is not only the mecca of street basketball in the United States, but also an underground black market for gangsters and drug dealers in New York.

When you're planning a trip to Rock Park, you're bound to get a friendly warning from everyone around you.

Don't easily look at others, don't easily talk to people standing on the side of the road;

Never walk, always drive;

Don't come empty-handed.

You have to be accompanied by guys who grew up in the real Harlem neighborhood, and everything is up to them, it's the rules of the Holy Land,

Maybe your designer sneakers, wallets, cameras, etc., will be snatched, or you may be beaten up for accidentally glancing at those Harlem neighborhoods.

At the start of the game, the players must be prepared for countless screams, cheers, boos and even spitting.

In addition to normal games, some NBA stars are invited to play against streetball stars; Each player who participates in the event is given a nickname by the tournament organizers.

As the sun climbs higher and higher, the sun gets warmer and warmer, shining across New York City.

In the past ten days of the new year, Rock Park has been very lively, crowded with people, cheering and cheering, and some NBA stars have also arrived.

NBA 99 Christmas. The festival battle has just ended, and the protagonists are the Lakers vs. the Spurs, the OK combination vs. the Spurs Twin Towers, and the other teams are in a 10-day vacation.

Basketball stars such as Iverson, street ball king Alston, Black Widow Tyrone Evans, Roshan Troy Jackson and other basketball stars met at Rock Park to start the new year's bullfighting competition to the rhythmic Hip-Hop music.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 10 o'clock.

After taking Catherine to the Motel 168 Hotel in front of Rock Park, Ursiris told his intentions.

He had never been to Rock Park, and although he had heard that there were many rules in Rock Park, he didn't think about it that much, he just wanted to hone his skills.

Catherine was taken aback and exclaimed: What? You're going to play in Rock Park? Oh my God! Those bastards in Harry's neighborhood aren't just going to steal stuff, they're going to sell the damn stuff! Ussie, I think you must be crazy!

Usiris didn't say much, put down his passport, wallet and other valuable personal belongings, took his backpack, carried a thousand dollars, and walked out on his own.

Catherine hurriedly hugged Usilis and said, "All right! Usy, listen to you! Wait a minute, I need a little bit of preparation.

When she had finished, she made a phone call, spoke in fluent Italian, and then proposed: "Ussi, I'm hungry!" It's time for breakfast!

Usilis nodded.

The two of them took the elevator down two floors to the restaurant on the fifteenth floor of the hotel.

Catherine ordered three medium-rare steaks and a bottle of the German favourite Diamond Gold Ice Noble Rot sweet white wine, clearly catering to Usilis's dietary tastes.

She eats elegantly, chews slowly, looks ladylike, but is actually deliberately delaying time.

Usilis was a little moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything about it, swallowing it in a big gulp, chewing and swallowing slowly, while thinking about how to play in the next game.

If he wants to make a name for himself at Rock Park, where top point guards are flying, he has to prepare in advance.

After last night's game, the one-handed toss-toe was severely limited in front of the big man who was good at bouncing, so it was necessary to increase the bouncing ability.

Physical strength value, footwork flexibility, super mark, 100-meter speed, footstep flexibility, mid-shot hit rate, and bounce speed are all level 1, and if you want to upgrade to level 2, any upgrade to level 2 requires 60 diamonds, which is a bit too expensive.

At the moment, the balance of Usiris's personal account is only: 58 diamonds.

He wants to make good use of the existing funds and make a reasonable purchase plan.

Usiris thought it all over and ended up buying Vertical Bounce Level 1 and Super Mark Level 1 in the Fitness Option Zone, and finally Small Switch Layup Level 3 in the Small Ball Skill Zone.

He wanted to buy tough armor, but he had no money, so he had to give up!

Vertical bounce height: 58 cm, up 1 level, plus 10 cm, 68 cm, so that the one-handed throw can be shot from a higher position and avoid the aerial interception of a group of defenders.

Ball control feel: upgrade 1 level, add sticky ball once a second; With this, the basic one-handed dribble can be played around.

The small change hand layup is level 3, the shooting rate is stable at 30%, plus the mid-range shooting rate is upgraded to 1 level and the bonus is 10%, and the total shooting rate is 40%, which is already a perfect technique.

In addition, the small hand-changing layup can be used with a variety of ball skills, or changing hands to feint, or to open the bow left and right, or to pass the ball after changing hands, all of which can avoid being blocked.

The list of purchases for Usyrise is as follows: Small Changer layup level 3, which costs 18 diamonds; Vertical bounce up 1 level, costs 20 diamonds; The ball control feel is upgraded by 1 level, which costs 20 diamonds; A total of 58 diamonds.

He has a personal account balance of 0 diamonds.

At present, Usilis has three skills, one is a one-handed throwing slam with a 50% shooting rate; the second is a fingertip pluck layup, with a 60% shooting rate; The third is a small change of hands and a layup, with a 40% shooting rate.

His ability to attack the basket includes mid-range and close-range one-handed tosses, close-range and small-distance fingertip plucked layups, and small-change layups; Plus, plus a dunk from a short distance; The fire was basically spread over half of the inside line.

Catherine was slowly enjoying a wonderful breakfast while staring at her phone repeatedly.

She finally waited for a phone call and a reply in Italian before finishing the meal.

Usiris didn't care about this, after all, everyone has their own personal privacy, Catherine didn't say it, she would never ask, let alone interfere.

During the meal, he opened the NBA2000 game and was busy, which also belonged to his own personal privacy, so naturally there was no need to tell Catherine.

Sometimes, lovers need to respect each other for a long time!

After Usiris paid the bill, he put on his sunglasses, carried his backpack in one hand, and walked out of the hotel with Catherine in the other.

A big red Chevrolet was parked in front of the hotel, and two tall black women in black suits, oversized sunglasses, bulging waists, and obviously carrying guns were waiting patiently.

When they saw Catherine, they bowed respectfully, and then took the initiative to open the car door.

Catherine smiled and said, "Usy, let's go!"

Ursiris still grim, and without asking a word, pulled Catherine into the car.

The two bodyguards were also very cold, without saying a word, closed the car door, and stepped on the accelerator.

Boom Boom!

The Chevrolet was really strong enough, and after a roar of the engine, a super-fast acceleration rushed into the lane, and after a right turn, it entered the legendary Rock Park within a minute.

Fifty years ago, Harlem's 155th Street Park was a garbage dump and a stinking place for residents to stay away from.

Mr. Locke made a series of modifications to the junkyard, paving the court floor with asphalt and moving his favorite street basketball league to the open field; Half a century later, the park has become a catch-and-shoot mecca for American culture, black culture, and street basketball.

Most of the snow in the park had been cleared yesterday, except for the branches of some large trees, as well as flower beds.

On the side of the road, you can see all kinds of black people dressed in trendy clothes, wearing down jackets inside, still wearing fat ball uniforms outside, wearing all kinds of metal accessories and earrings, etc., combing all kinds of weird hairstyles, wearing hip-hop hats, holding a basketball in one hand, and peddling cigarettes in the other.

This cigarette is not cheap, a box of hundreds of dollars, with some ingredients, is very strong!

At this time, John Thompson Jr. and head coach Reg Eslick were still waiting at Reagan International Airport.

Head coach Reg Ezric finally got anxious and made a phone call to ask about the team's training arrangements before he was relieved.

Under Bob's supervision, the members of the Marvel team worked hard, shooting again and again, the sound of iron was constant, and the basketball was knocked off by rebounds everywhere.

The school workers were secretly lamenting while desperately picking up the ball.
