8. I'll practice with you

After eating two catties of rice balls with slippery skin in a row, Hua Ben burped with satisfaction. Bell didn't speak, chewed hard and swallowed slowly, the big bowl of rice balls in front of him had bottomed out, and there was a porcelain bowl of the same size next to it.

"Good appetite." Hua Ben gritted his toothpick and asked Bell in the demeanor of a little pony.

Bell didn't bother to pay attention to the hooligan Hua Ben, and ate the last rice ball, she smiled at Genghis Khan reservedly: "Thank you for your hospitality, Jack, although I don't know how this round thing is made, but I must admit that it is really delicious, and I think I will not be able to do without this little thing at night in the future." ”

After receiving Bell's praise, Genghis Khan's fat face was full of excitement and overwhelm, "It's been awarded, Miss Bell likes to eat, and a phone call will come in the future, and I'll ask Li Dalong to send it to you." ”

"Your mother, am I your food delivery person? I'm a policeman, see no, with a gun! Li Dalong raised his face, his mouth was full of dumplings, and after speaking, he lowered his head and ate intently.

Hua Ben glanced at Bell proudly, and said with a shy face: "Christine, if you like it, I can make you dumplings to eat." "God can prove that Hua Ben has no other meaning, he just wants to show off the Chinese cooking skills he has acquired, and from now on Lao Tzu will also be a chef.

Bell glanced at Hua Ben in a charming way, swallowed the last bite of the rice ball, and nodded, "I will welcome you with a reshot." ”

Genghis Khan and Li Dalong gathered together and winked at Hua Ben, and the former said mysteriously: "Man, it seems that the Detroit Entertainment is right, these two celebrity neighbors really hooked up." ”

Li Dalong chewed the dumplings and said disdainfully: "I already knew, lonely men and widows, isn't it ** to get together?" ”

After eating and drinking, Huaben took out his credit card and motioned for checkout. Genghis Khan didn't take any money, but just asked Li Dalong to take a photo of him with Hua Ben and Bell.

Overseas acquaintances, and Li Dalong and Genghis Khan are quite angry with themselves, Hua Ben invited the two to go to their villa as guests anyway.

When I got home, it was already half past three in the morning, and Hua Ben, who was physically and mentally exhausted, went to sleep at the end, but he didn't sleep well this time. Less than seven o'clock, a car motor sound woke him up, Hua Ben didn't want to get up, he estimated that the motor sound would be a while the car should leave, but this sound was half an hour, he got up angrily to see who was looking for death, opened the door, and saw Bell sitting in the car with a sweet smile on him.

"Good morning, Ben." Bell waved his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and left, my sister's car is automatic, which is convenient and fast.

After waking up, Hua Ben couldn't sleep anymore, and Big Ben left him with a good body, and his energy was staggering. After taking a shower, Hua Ben drove to the palace of Auburn Hills to prepare for training, his consciousness and Big Ben's body have not yet been completely run-in, you must know that in his previous life, he was a breakthrough sharp projection master.

Auburn Hills Palace is the home stadium of the NBA team Detroit, the only stadium among the 30 NBA teams away from the city center, it is located in the suburbs of Auburn Hills, 80 kilometers from downtown Detroit, of course, you can also understand the origin of the stadium's name from its location.

Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city doesn't dampen the enthusiasm of Detroit fans, especially now that their team is getting stronger.

And, in a way, the location of Auburn Hills has contributed to the prosperity of the ball market, as the Pistons said in their pre-game promotional video, where you can not only see the best games, but also enjoy the fun of outings. Even though it's still winter, the green is all in the air as far as the eye can see.

Rushing all the way into the gymnasium, Hua Ben carried his backpack and looked for the training hall slowly, he was not worried about being late, because the team training started at half past ten, two hours of training in the morning, three hours of training in the afternoon, and then it was a free vacation, and now it was only a little more than eight o'clock, and it was only early before the training time.

However, when he walked to the door of the training hall under the guidance of the sparring partner, the sound of a basketball slapping on the ground reached his ears through the door, and it was obvious that someone had come earlier than him.

Who is so sore and has nothing to get up early to practice? Could it be that the Pistons still have Kobe-style court rats? Hua Ben curiously pushed open the door, and a big man in a vest was doing crotch dribbling exercises.

Because the people did not arrive, the huge training hall was not fully air-conditioned, and the room was still a little cold at this time, but this big man was covered in hot sweat, and a faint white gas rose from the top of his head.

The trainer was about to walk in, but Hua Ben grabbed him and said in a low voice, "Man, don't disturb him, let him practice for a while." ”

Mirisic skillfully practiced his crotch dribbling with his back to the gate, and after the crotch dribble, he began to practice changing direction, and the ball was beating obediently in his hand, like a happy elf. Wafben had never imagined that a seven-foot man could possess such ball skills, and he had heard that Garnett could break through with the ball like a defender, and he was a little unimpressed at the time, but now looking at Mirisic, he believes it.

"This kid is going to be an amazing guy in the future, believe it or not?" Hua Ben couldn't help but say, after he finished speaking, he came to his senses, a little dumbfounded, what nonsense he said, Mirisic's career is to constantly prove that he is a parallel commodity.

The trainer didn't know what the future Mirisic would look like, so he said matter-of-factly: "Ben, I once watched this kid in training camp with Mr. Brown, and he was a great guy, hardworking, humble, self-motivated, and he was better than those two kids from Marquette and Syracuse. I felt that Mr. Brown was too him, and he would be scolded and criticized for the slightest mistake, and the kid had no confidence now, and it was torture for him to step on the court. But who didn't make mistakes when they were young? Ben, you may not know, it wasn't like that in training camp, this kid was like a tiger at that time, he dared to single Anthony or Bosh or any other, and he dared to block LeBron..."

The sparring partner's voice was a little louder, and Mirisic heard the voices of the two, turned his head to look, smiled reluctantly, picked up the ball and clothes and walked into the locker room.

"Darko, where are you going?" Huaben asked aloud.

Mirisic stopped, he looked back at Huaben, lowered his head and whispered: "Good morning, captain, I'm going to change my clothes and go to breakfast, you know, Mr. Brown will be coming later, he doesn't want to see someone bring food into the stadium." ”

"Leave this fucking bullshit aside, Lawrence, you go get a nutritious meal for the Darko." Wallace said to the sparring partner beside him, and then looked directly at Mirisic, "Throw away the clothes in your hand, come here, I'll spar for you." ”

Mirisic looked at Huaben in surprise and said at a loss: "Sparring? No, no, captain, you're the best defensive guru in the NBA, and I'm not your match. ”

When Mirisic said this, Wahben felt that the situation was serious, he was a former basketball coach, and he certainly knew what kind of game a player would play without confidence.

"Shit, are you sarcastic about me?" Warben said angrily, "You are the leader of this season, you are the pride of the Black Cypriots, you used to press Cameron to dunk in training camp, and you once blew up that skinny boy in Toronto, what about me?" I went to the draft in 1996 and no team drafted me! ”

"Today we play 50 goals and if you score 25 goals under me, I promise you that tomorrow against the Bostonians you can play 20 minutes and you know, Mr. Brown will not veto my proposal." Hua Ben said seriously.

Mirisic's eyes lit up and he asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”

Waeben didn't speak again, took off his coat and changed into a training uniform, picked up the basketball and threw it to Mirisic, leaving only one simple word: "Go!" ”

Milicic got the ball, took a deep breath, and stood at the top of the three-point line to look at Huaben.

Wajben took a step back, standing around the free throw line, he had seen Mirisic's dribble just now, this kid can break through with the ball like a defender, he has to guard his hand.

"Start?" Mirisic asked.

Wabbon hooked his fingers at him, his eyes fixed on Mirisic's shoulder.

Mirisic looked at Huaben in surprise, he hesitated, jumped up suddenly, and at the same time held the basketball with his right hand, and held the ball steadily from the side with his left hand, with a soft flick of his wrist, the basketball slid out of a rainbow-like arc in the air, and plunged into the hoop.

Waeben looked back in disbelief as the basketball fell from the hoop to the floor, soft wrist strength, accurate judgment, and thinking back to Mirisic's skillful dribbling skills before, he finally understood why Brown insisted on selecting him as the leader in the first place, this guy is a guy who can really play five positions, in terms of technique, he is the same as Garnett.

"One." Mirisic said with a smile.

Wajben picked up the ball and threw it to Milicic, who didn't dare to let go from a distance, but stuck to Milicic.

In fact, before deciding to spar Mirisic, Hua Ben also has his own plans, Big Ben is best at defense, his defensive beliefs, defensive awareness and defensive skills are above him, Hua Ben must quickly integrate the defensive awareness left by Big Ben, and this requires long-term training, so he decided to spar Mirisic's offense. Now it seems that he made the right choice, and Mirisic is a good sparring partner.

After getting the ball, Mirisic half-turned and put his shoulder against Huaben and began to try to squeeze in. Even O'Neill felt desperate for his strength, not to mention Mirisic, he squeezed hard into it, but Huaben didn't move at all.

There was no way, Mirisic had to break through. Waben was quick, with more explosiveness and speed than Mirisic, but when Mirisic rushed in, he didn't follow up, but chased after him, as if he had been thrown away.

Seeing this, Milicic was overjoyed in his heart, and stepped into the three-second zone and threw the ball directly with a licking basket.

The moment Mirisic jumped, Wabeon jumped up, and jumped higher and faster, and the basketball just reached the rebound, his left hand slapped suddenly, and the basketball was nailed to the rebound with a muffled 'bang'. At the same time, the body used to hit Mirisic in the back, knocking him to the ground.

"I knew it was so." Mirisic muttered, the little confidence he had gained from hitting a three-pointer quickly crumbled.

Hua Ben finally knows why the 03 class of the list he saw in his previous life became a pure parallel import, this guy has NBA-level physical fitness, NBA star-level basketball skills, but he does not have the corresponding psychological quality, that is to say, he can play better than anyone else when he plays tailwind, but his psychology is too fragile to suffer setbacks at all.

"Do you know who you're up against? The NBA's Best Defensive Player! Huaben pulled Mirisic up, stared into his eyes and said slowly, "If you don't show all your skills, you will be humiliated by me and can't live!" Boy, this is the NBA, the best players in the world are here, if you want to gain a foothold here, throw away the shame and fear first, come here, your opponent is a bunch of beasts, if you imagine yourself as a gentleman, then you will die a miserable death! ”

"You've got forty-eight more chances." Huaben stuffed the ball into Mirisic's arms and said coldly, "Tell you the truth, Darko, you have sunk to the bottom, and people all over the world are laughing at you, laughing at the Cypriots, they say that the Cypriots are all soft, and you are the softest one among them." But I don't believe that a top pick can't be the core of a team, and if a foreigner wants to be the head of the draft, he must have more ability than the American top pick, do you know what the team represents by selecting you? That means you have what it takes to beat LeBron James! ”
