"Hey, buddy, it's okay." He was very enthusiastic, and leaned into Li Ming's ear again and asked softly.

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing."

"Yes, little things, well, you have become a city hero now, it shouldn't be for basketball, so if a boy of this age is not worried about work and upgrading, there is only one woman for so long - woman!!" He patted Li Ming's shoulder hard, these black buddies were so direct, thinking that this would pull him out of his low mood.

"What's your name? Chinese? Korean? Japanese? Li Ming didn't answer his question directly, but just stuck his head over and asked the accompanying man who had been drinking quietly.

"Uh, hello, my name is Wang Ping, and I'm a sophomore at the University of Memphis School of Information."

"You still haven't answered my question," Li Ming looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Chinese, from Fujian." He smiled shyly and reached out to scratch his hair.

It's very interesting, these two buddies, one is enthusiastic, the other is shy and introverted, they really complement each other, and they don't know how to play together, Li Ming was also amused by the big boy in front of him.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I see that you keep drinking, I just want to tell you that everything will pass, look ahead, and the sun will rise tomorrow as usual." Wang Fei cleared his throat and said slowly.

"Thank you." Li Ming picked up the cup in front of him and looked at the two of them, and like everyone in the bar, he raised his head and drank it all.

"Okay, that's right, we're friends now, by the way, where do you live, big star. We stayed next door to Grant Avenue. Daniel asked for another glass of wine like a bartender.

"I'm at 16 Wilson Street." Li Ming replied with a smile.

"Then we're two streets apart, only 200 yards away, can we play with you often?" Of course, it's when you're not playing and training. Wang Fei was a little excited.

Li Ming didn't rush to answer, just looked at him with a smile, in the dim light, his eyes were very clear, and it took about ten seconds, "Yes." He replied in the affirmative.

The two of them high-fived excitedly and hugged each other, "Great, we're friends with the big star, Wa."

G, you can ask him to teach you a few practical tricks. Daniel said excitedly.

"It's not early, I should go back, there will be training tomorrow."

"Oh, can you? Do you want us to send you? ”

"No, I'm fine." Li Ming shook his head.

"Alright then, goodbye, big star." Li Ming quickly went out, and Daniel's voice came from behind him.

He stood under the street lamp outside the door for a while, looked up at the moon, "The sun will rise as usual tomorrow, hehe", smiled knowingly, and walked in the direction of home......

Early the next morning, Li Ming came to the gymnasium to practice. He seems to have come out of the sorrow of yesterday.

To be exact, there's no time to grieve, because tomorrow night we have to fly to the Denver Plateau to play the Nuggets, who are currently the No. 1 team in the West.

Sure enough, McConley was already in the arena, only this time he had Randolph and Guy by his side.

"Quick, quick, quick, give money, give money." Guy stretched out his hand and kept tugging at the big black bear beside him.

"Hey, Lee, we just bet what time you'll show up. I'll bet 200 you'll be there before half past six. Guy grinned.

Li Ming said hello to everyone and went to the side to stretch and move his joints.

Conley and Randolph were doing a pick-and-roll coordination, but this time they switched to a big man to the outside and chose to shoot from a long distance.

Yes, this move can kill, with Randolph's range, the opponent's center will definitely be pulled out, so Conley is easier to break through.

This was specially designed by Hollins yesterday for the opposing starting center, the so-called half-orc Faried. Because he doesn't have a basket, he can only dunk under the basket, and even the basic wiping and basket picking are very difficult, and he belongs to the type of rough hands.

"Come here." Ten minutes later, Conley made a gesture towards Li Ming.

"Oh, okay, okay." Li Ming ran over like a chicken, he had great respect for Conley in his heart, and he also regarded him as an idol, hoping to become a selfless player liked by coaches and players like him.

"You see, you have a habit of running when you're running, you often throw off your arms and run hard, that's wrong." Conley gestured to him.

"You should be in this direction, no matter which direction you are, always keep your hands on your chest and make the gesture of catching the ball at any time to confuse the opposing players."

There are two advantages to this: first, you can shoot as quickly as you can after receiving the ball without making adjustments. Furthermore, you can confuse your opponents and cover your teammates' movements.

Conley patiently explained to him, and from time to time he ran to the baseline and under the basket, signaling how to get in and out of position.

"Now I'm going to play blocking and dismantling with you, you practice going down first and then attracting the bag clip, and quickly throwing the outside three-point line for a long time." Conley leaned over at the top of the arc to dribble and beckoned Li Ming to run.

Li Ming did as he said back and forth a few times.

"Well, that's it, now practice blocking and then bounce to the outside to cover the ball carrier and shoot a three-pointer. The key to this is that the two people doing the block and pick should cross the position to create space. ”

Of course, there is a requirement for this to be fast, and the two who block and dismantle must have a stable outside hit rate in addition to being fast, and generally speaking, only Rudy and I will choose to cooperate with you like this.

So, the most important thing for you right now is to get your outside shots right, and I see that your movement speed is fine.

"Lee, you sometimes act like my grandma." Guy quipped on the side.

What's missing is a quick shot, and your preparation time for shooting is too long. Conley unreservedly showed his unique skills in front of Li Ming.

"Come on, you have to run your own position, don't make any adjustments to catch and shoot, practice five hundred a day, and if your strength allows, it's best to have eight hundred."

"Eight hundred? Every day? Li Ming's eyes widened.

"Yes." Conley replied firmly. "As far as I know, a lot of players on the perimeter who play against you are at that number every day, so if you want to outrun them, you have to outdo them, and you have to keep building up your lower body."

Conley broke his flaw in a word, yes, in the second half of the game against the Clippers, he suffered a few shaky losses on defense, and he had a three-pointer on the offensive end that didn't even touch the frame.

This is a typical instability, if the force is too strong, it will lose its center of gravity, and the stability is not enough at the critical moment, and it is easy to pull the crotch.

"Okay." Li Ming took off his shirt, went shirtless, and ran to the basket next to him to practice shooting alone.

Conley continued to practice various combinations with Guy and Randolph.

After a while, the arena began to be filled with people. Arthur, Bombset, Chris Johnson and Bayless, who did not play in the last game due to injury.

Li Ming has now become a celebrity, and everyone will come over to say hello to Conley after saying hello to him, and sometimes those who have a good relationship will also ridicule his shooting.

Most of the people who greeted him were forwards, with only Gerard Bayless being the point guard and his main rival at the moment.

As expected, the team's starting defenders are still a combination of Conley and Tony Allen, who competes with Gerard Bayless and Wayne Ellington for bench minutes.

Wayne Ellington is not worried, he is just a rookie, he can only play in garbage time, Bayless is different, he is the team's immediate force, averaging 12 3-pointers per game.

What's more, he has proven himself on a big stage like the playoffs, and in the most critical fourth game of the year's battle against the Spurs and the Black Eight Miracle, everyone only remembers Randolph, who scored 37 points and 16 rebounds.

Bayless also shone in that game, shooting 9-of-14 from the offensive end, 4-of-6 from three-point range and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, scoring 27 points while dishing out nine assists.

With Conley completely locked in, he connected the team well and made a top four steals on either side at the same time, which showed his hard work. Coaches love players like this the most.

Therefore, Li Ming pays special attention to him, and always looks in the direction of his practice from time to time.

Perhaps it was Li Ming's rise that gave him a sense of crisis, and he also came to the stadium early today to practice.

"Well, this one does have some material." Although it was just a simple run and catch and shoot, his soft touch still impressed Li Ming. Playing next to Roy the Trail Blazers should have helped him a lot back then.

On his side, he understands, but the opponent's players have no experience at all, and he always feels unsafe just by relying on the game video.

"This old thing...... "The old thing in his mouth is Andre Miller of the Nuggets, and he is also a ruthless character, a well-known iron man in the league, who has only missed a total of 5 games in 16 years of his career.

Whether it was during the 76ers or the Trail Blazers, or even in the early days of the Nuggets, it was an iron-clad workhorse.

In recent years, because of his age, George Karl put him on the bench, allowing him to lead the second team to attack the city, and he also shined, often with the old man chatting about the amazing passing of the teenager.

Andrimiller's tendon meat was enough for him to drink a pot, and thinking of this, Li Ming couldn't help but shudder, and yelled in Guy's direction to pass the ball.
