Chapter 133: The Free Market and Access to the Olympic Village
Li Wan officially began special training.
The trainer who helped him tap his physical potential was a famous NBA trainer, the former "Jordan Queen", and called Dwyane Wade "the next Jordan......
Tim Grover!
Just by looking up, you can see what a trainer this is.
But if ......
When you know that Michael Jordan once gave him a sum of money in order to prevent him from giving special training to others and promoting other stars, will you exclaim: Is this trainer so good?
And now, he is standing in front of Li Wan!
200,000 a month......
That's the price of Grover right now.
Last summer, Li Wan contracted a training team and all aspects of training equipment, and it was only 140,000.
But if it weren't for Li Wan's popularity and popularity, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make an appointment. After all, Grover's resume is here, and he's the busiest of every summer.
As the founder of the "Jordan Breakfast Club", Grover has his own set of training methods, which is the "alphabet training method" that has become popular.
The current name is: ……
Jordan relied on this set of training, and after playing baseball for two years, he quickly got everything back to what he once was.
As the NBA's first personal trainer, his specialty is to strengthen his basic skills, polish his skills, and improve his awareness on the offensive and defensive ends......
These items are exactly what Li Wan urgently needs.
"Man, your body is a treasure!"
After just one morning of testing, Grover showed his professional ability, keenly noticing Leewan's physical potential.
Whether it's confrontation ability or physical fitness......
So, he changed the training plan he had already made.
"I think we have to focus more on digging into the body!"
Technique can be practiced at any time, for example, LeBron James played in the league for 9 years and was able to develop a rough but efficient low-post singles ability in 12 years.
But the potential of the body, more than 22 years old, it is difficult to develop it again.
However, Grover did not forget to let Li Wanga practice ball control......
According to his vision, with Li Wan's height of 2.03 meters and such an arm span, he can completely replicate Maddie's breakthrough mode: use continuous dribbling to mobilize the opponent's center of gravity, and then use explosive power and big strides to form a "swift first step", just like the best performance sports car, complete the breakthrough at the same time as starting.
Li Wan is quite satisfied with Grover's arrangement.
Because after he finished speaking, Li Wan could see the picture of himself handsomely breaking through his opponent......
The results are visible in front of you, and such a training plan is just two words:
Plausible!
During Li Wan's training, the championship battle in the 07~08 season also reached the first step of the heat, and the Celtics won the fifth game of the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain", and returned to the home court of the Lakers to snatch back 1 point and equalize the score to a 3-3 draw.
In the final game, the emotions on both sides rose to a peak - whether it was the Celtics' "championship heart" or the Lakers' will not want to lose until the last game.
Both sides were in a state of anxiety from the start.
The third quarter of the game became a turning point for the whole situation......
Phil Jackson made a move, relying on his deep rotation strength, and played a war of attrition with substitutions more often than usual.
Rivers on the other side......
Hold your head in your hands.
Thibodeau, he knows how to defend and how to avoid attrition If he does, will he still die * Rose?
The Boston "Big Three" stayed on the court until the end of the third quarter, and by this time, the "Big Three" had all played 30 minutes.
It is worth mentioning that the Celtics "Big Three" have averaged 39.1 minutes per game since the finals.
This game is still excessive.
And because of this......
In the last 2 minutes of the game, that is, when the average playing time of the Celtics' "Big Three" in this game reached 40 minutes, the physical hidden danger of playing three "tie-breaks" in the first three rounds of the playoffs completely exploded.
The average turnovers per game king in the playoffs, Paul Pearce, who averaged 3.2 turnovers per game, made dribbling errors, Ariza "stole the ball" successfully, and Kobe Bryant quickly pushed back and completed the score.
The margin was extended to 4 points.
Two rounds later, Kevin Garnett missed three consecutive layups......
The ball popped up again, and Kevin Garnett's eyes were still on the ball.
As long as you enter, you still have a chance!
Can......
He really couldn't jump anymore.
Kwame Brown jumped out from the side and grabbed this all-important defensive rebound.
94 to 90......
The Lakers won......
As the whistle blew, Kwame Brown lay on the ground, holding the ball in his arms and smiling brightly.
The reporters on the sidelines hurriedly pressed the shutter and recorded the moment.
His bright smile is easily reminiscent of Mutombo, who completed the NBA's first "Black Eight" that year.
Also lying on the ground.
Also holding the ball in your arms.
Also smiling brightly......
Here's the difference......
That year, Mutombo was the league's "Best Defensive Player Award" winner.
And Brown ......
It's just a "parallel champion" who has entered the alliance!
Most of the mention of his name is a sarcastic smile.
And a sentence: Just that parallel import......
This time, he finally proved his presence at a critical moment.
Years of depression were also vented at this moment.
Laughing and laughing, he cried......
The moment tears kept pouring out of his eyes, the Lakers fans who were watching the close-up also cheered for him, even though he couldn't hear it.
Of course, it's only for a second.
Then the live broadcast was given to the Celtic "Big Three" who bowed their heads and left. The eyes of the "old Kai fans" at the scene were unconsciously filled with tears.
They watched the "Big Three" bow their heads and leave, and couldn't help but burst into applause.
This is a gift to these three "old guns......
4 rounds of playoffs, 4 "tie-breaks", these three old guys, really tried their best, they can leave the stadium with their heads held high.
Veterans don't die, they just wither......
They did the first 4 words.
As for the last 4 words......
Everyone knows that 33-year-old Kevin Garnett, 31-year-old Paul Pearce, and 32-year-old Ray Allen are far from withering.
They are not Barkley, Drexler and Olajuwon of the past, and they are not Gary Payton and Karl Malone of the future.
If you don't succeed once, there will be no next time......
They weren't as eager as they were far.
They......
There's still time!
Paul Pierce walked side by side with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, softly but firmly, "Come back next year, buddy!" ”
Then the camera was given to Kobe Bryant, and it was frozen.
Black Mamba......
It's also catharsis!
From the summer of '04 to the summer of '08.
After 4 years, he finally proved that "I can win the championship without Shaq"!
Especially when he saw the championship trophy, he couldn't control his feelings.
Lakers fans were also in tears of empathy.
This year has definitely been a turbulent year for the Lakers, from Kobe Bryant's forced palace in the summer, to the surprise brought by rookie Li Wan, and it has become a bargaining chip that has to be given away, the Lakers have gained a lot and lost a lot.
Thankfully, in the end, they succeeded......
David Stern loudly announced: "The champion of the NBA Finals in the 07~08 season is...... Los Angeles Lakers! ”
Hold your trophies!
Streamers float down the sky.
The 07~08 season is officially over.
After the game, Kobe Bryant was interviewed with the first Finals MVP of his career, and rarely thanked many people, winning the championship made his whole personality no longer so paranoid and unapproachable.
Li Wan was also mentioned in the list of thanks......
Coincidentally, Kwame Brown also thanked Li Wan after the game: "Although we have only been teammates for a few months, he has helped me a lot, without him, I would not be where I am now!" ”
A reporter also asked about Kwame Brown's contract extension this summer.
The 07~08 season is his contract year, and this summer, Kwame will return to free agency.
Compared to the summer of '05, when the rookie contract expired, he tested the free market.
Kwame Brown, who averaged 10 points and 7.6 rebounds per game in the playoffs this year and 9.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in the finals, will undoubtedly attract the attention of many teams.
As can be seen from the finals, Kwame has become a very good under-the-basket top guard and rim protector.
Extremely tough!
Yes......
Perhaps no one expected this year that the term would be applied to Kwame Brown.
It's just that in the face of this problem, Kwame Brown is the old god saying: "I haven't thought about this yet, after all, I just won the championship......"
He declined to disclose.
In fact, he has received information from his agent that at least 4 teams are willing to make offers for him, and the amount is not low.
This made him sigh.
Think about it......
He hadn't been robbed like this since the summer of '01.
also mentioned Li Wan again and again, especially Kobe Bryant also mentioned Li Wan's name, and the next day, the whole of Los Angeles warmly celebrated the Lakers winning the championship again after 6 years.
Some media have also compiled a list of Li Wan's contributions to the Lakers' championship after synthesizing all aspects of intelligence, which is basically similar to Li Wan's own collation.
finally came to a conclusion: After two days of the championship celebration, if Li Wan doesn't come, I will see who dares to move the knife and fork.
"Ho, ho, ho!"
Li Wan leaned on the back of the bench on the sidelines, panting constantly, and the sports vest on his body was completely soaked.
It's all soaked in sweat.
And this is the second training uniform that Li Wan changed into this morning.
"You're really not going to the Lakers' celebration party?" Grover watched him polish his body like this, even more ruthlessly than usual.
Apparently not planning to get myself out of the gym.
He knew that the Lakers had sent an invitation to Li Wan.
At that time, Li Wan said that he would not go, and he thought he was joking, because he knew that Li Wan had a very good relationship with Kobe.
Unexpectedly, Li Wan was serious.
Li Wan gradually breathed evenly, changed into a sports vest, and replied: "It's not that I won't go, I'm just preparing a big gift, and I may be late for a year and a half...... They'll understand me then! ”
After saying that, he took the two basketballs next to him and began to dribble quickly again......
Grover's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
From what he knows, Li Wan is not a paranoid like Kobe, nor is it like Michael Jordan at that time, when the desire for a championship had reached a peak.
So at first, he thought that Li Wan would not be able to stand his "devil training".
But in the past half a month, Li Wan has completed the training volume with quality and quantity every time, and even had a few days of good training status, and he also took the initiative to practice a few sets of ......
Of course, if he knew Li Wan's motto, he would understand.
Everything is ......
Expect the lowest, plan for the worst, and do your best!
Li Wan also has the same attitude towards the trivial matter of training......
The Lakers' "Championship Parade" ended on June 15, and there are only 10 days left before the '08 draft.
Li Wan, who has experienced this period, knows very well that this will be the busiest period for rookies, not only to do their best in tryouts, but also to pay attention to all aspects of words and deeds.
Because, in the eyes of the management of each team, which is very nervous, once there is any small negative impact, it may touch their fragile nerves and change their minds.
It's like Derrick Rose, who is basically decided, will be the top pick in '08, and the news about him is overwhelming, but ......
If you look carefully at the news, you will find that he "disappeared"!
No one knows what he's been doing lately, because he doesn't show up in public at all......
Once it appears, it must be a sincere face to sit in front of the interview desk and accept the interview.
"I naturally want to be drafted by the Bulls!"
"Playing for Chicago has been my wish since I was a child!"
"No Chicago-born guard would not idolize Michael Jordan!"
……
Looking at the shy Rose at the moment, Li Wan couldn't figure out what the reason was for him to make a high-profile statement in his third season in the league: "I hope everyone will add my name when considering the regular season MVP this season." ”
Finally, whether it is a rookie or a management, because of the draft, when they have a nervous breakdown, the 08 draft conference, it came!
As always, Derrick Rose became the champion and entered the Windy City.
The Heat, who had been planning for a year but were only the second pick in the first round, selected Beasley, who once beat Kevin Durant to the point of self-containment.
Again, this is a classic example of the league's wasted talent.
It's worth saying that, in terms of talent, he's not much worse than Derrick Rose at the moment. But in the draft, it didn't pose even the slightest threat to Rose's top pick.
In addition to the fact that the champion was signed by the Bulls, it has a lot to do with his troubles off the court.
He's not a nice guy to get along with......
But even so, he was still the second pick in the first round in '08!
That's enough to see his potential!
Look at the eyes that didn't wake up but had a sense of arrogance......
Miami happily said, "Hurry up and use his trade points to get here!" ”
Well......
They don't like Beasley at all.
Choosing Beasley is also a helpless choice!
After all, the talent is too good......
If you don't choose him in second order, you are the melon!
Then the third pick, OJ Mayo, who Chris Wallace had in mind, tried to trade upwards in order to ensure that this pick could be selected.
The third pick was the best sign he could trade.
In fact, he also talked to Pat Lyley, but in the entire lineup of the Grizzlies, what can be done is the future of Memphis, but not the ......
Pat Lylie didn't like it either.
At that time, the deal did not work, and Chris Wallace was worried for two days, and now he has finally got the "combination of Jordan and Kobe".
I declare that Memphis is about to be revived, who is for and who is against?
And then the SuperSonics, oh no, it should be called the Thunder by now...... — the Seattle mayor refused to build a new arena for the SuperSonics, and the new owner of the SuperSonics seized the opportunity to move the team to his home base: Oklahoma City.
David Stern watched the SuperSonics leave the fifth-largest city in the United States and go to such a small city, and sighed, but he couldn't help it.
I can only watch.
And just like that, Kevin Durant became the last rookie in SuperSonics history.
Later, he chose the most difficult path, which made the whole of Oklahoma angry, and the management even privately revealed that it would never be possible to retire Kevin Durant's jersey.
As a result, Kevin Durant didn't care at all and said: "I was originally selected by the SuperSonics, my jersey, the Thunder team retires or not, I don't care!" ”
That's what I'm saying, that's a hard ......
The Thunder fans burned his jersey again......
With the announcement of David Stern, the Thunder also officially welcomed their first rookie in team history - Russell Westbrook.
Tremble!
Big O!
The "Divine Turtle" that only with the power of one person knocked down the gold content of the "three pairs", he is here!
And then there is Kevin - "pot" Fu.
Of course, before he became the third leader of the Knights, he had to go to cold Minnesota to improve himself.
It was Chris Wallace who chose him.
Used to trade to get OJ-Mayo.
Next......
Gallinari, Roundface Deng, DJ Augustine, Lopez and many more were read out by David Stern.
The quality of the '08 draft continued in '07, which was very good.
And after two consecutive draft years, the '09 draft is called the "draft year", just like the 0506 draft after '03 and '04.
Many experts bluntly said: "This year's competition may be one Blake Griffin!" ”
As for the others......
Nothing!
What is the son of that "Wasp Legend" Dale Curry, called Stephen Curry......
I'm a sophomore and don't participate in the draft yet!
I heard that the junior year is going to transfer to the No. 1 position?
Can you beat it?
I don't have the ability to know!
The Magic didn't have much presence in the first round because they had already been given away this year's first-round pick.
But in the second round, the Magic's selection surprised Leewan, and Otis added some cash and traded up for the overall 40th pick in the second round to take Dragic.
This choice surprised Li Wan a little.
You're not going to use this guy as my first backup, are you?
Otis didn't know what he was doing......
Li Wan is not qualified to meddle in the management of the Magic team, so he doesn't know the intention of choosing Dragic, but he still knows some gossip from Taryn. However, it has not been confirmed, and he has not paid attention to it.
Recently, Taylor officially began to record songs, and he was even more upside down day and night than he was.
She doesn't have to worry about it, the rest of Li Wan's mind is on his surroundings.
After making a lot of money and letting Li Wan see the profits, he asked Taryn to contact a representative of Nike, and he wanted to launch a basketball equipment such as a co-branded arm guard and wrist guard with Nike. - As long as Li Wan fans know, he wears an arm guard in the same color as the team uniform or the symbol of the city on the opposite side of the game.
This is done in order to make the industry known.
Since Li Wan only ate half a small strawberry on a whole cake of Nike, the people over there agreed.
Of course, it also comes at a price.
That is, when the sneaker contract expires and the contract renewal price is the same, Nike must be prioritized.
Li Wan almost didn't think about it, so he agreed.
Although something happened to the brand later, the problem is that the NBA will be the era of Nike, and I want to be in this league...... If you want to be treated fairly, you have to be a Nike spokesperson.
This is called "people are under the roof and have to bow their heads".
Make money, don't stumble!
After the co-branding was completed, the follow-up design of the exclusive logo, as well as the specific sale, Li Wan handed it over to Tyranny.
Recently, it can be regarded as a low point in Tarron's career, with Maddie and Ben Wallace suffering injuries one after another, and the number one resource in his hands is only Atlanta's Joe Johnson.
are still messing with him to terminate the contract.
I heard that the reason is that Taryn is more interested in Li Wan than about them. I don't know if it's true or not.
This also made Taryn hug Li Wan's thigh even tighter.
Anything Li Wan hands over to him, and the reply will always be: No problem!
In this regard, Li Wan also specially reminded Taryn to let him balance the other players.
In the future NBA, the agent is also a key part of the team's composition.
For example, Rich Paul in the hands of LeBron James, with the big tree of LeBron, has recruited a group of All-Stars and even superstars, and then used these customers to balance the general managers of those teams.
Among the many reasons why Anthony Davis ended up with the Lakers, there must have been Rich Paul behind it.
When he said on behalf of Davis, "Even if we get to the xx team, the contract will definitely not be renewed when it expires", the potential opponents of the Lakers actually disappeared......
Therefore, when the energy is greater, Li Wan will definitely help Tyron to recruit some "thugs".
With a system, he naturally disdains to take the initiative to pull those superstars or the future together.
But he didn't want to be yin by other people......
Affects the normal reinforcement of the team.
It's just that these are all later words, Li Wan still has a way to go from that stage!
But......
There are potential future superstars, even if it's just him, who can be a catalyst.
Stephen Curry, for example, can completely pull him under Tyron's banner.
Originally, Stephen Curry chose just a little-known agent: Jeff Austin.
This agent can be selected because he has a good relationship with Curry Sr......
As long as Taryn shows enough sincerity, he is still very competitive!
Anyway, Tyron, who already has 4 All-Star players under his umbrella, is definitely more in line with a rookie player than Jeff Austin in terms of professionalism.
July 1st!
About a week after the boiling '08 draft.
NBA 08 free trade market officially kicked off!
Otis has been very busy lately, with 4 consecutive transactions.
The two 3.5 million renewals of Arroyo and Kenyon Durin respectively.
Then there was the deal that Lee Wan had known for a long time, signing Michael Petrus, who had expired his contract with the Warriors for two years and 10.6 million, to strengthen the wing.
The next deal was something Li Wan didn't expect.
After taking Leewan's template "French Jordan", he traded Dragic and Kenyon Durin from the Suns to trade Raja Bell from the Suns......
Now Li Wan can be regarded as knowing what Otis has in mind.
It seems that the defense of the flanks in the Eastern Conference Finals really made him remember, and two consecutive reinforcements were actually crazy to strengthen the wings.
In fact, there is another point that Li Wan does not know......
Steve Cole's deal with Otis was forced.
Because Kerr originally planned to trade with the Spurs to get Dragic, the "Nash's successor", for a smaller price. Anyway, he also spent time with the Spurs before, and he was considered a Spurs, and Popovich also gave him this face.
Unfortunately, Otis secretly cut off his beard and then forced Cornaraga Bell to trade him.
It is said that when it came time to sign, Steve Cole was so angry that he almost crushed his teeth.
I have to say that Otis did a beautiful job in these two transactions.
Originally, Li Wan was worried that the first-round pick in '08 would be gone, which was equivalent to saying that Courtney Lee couldn't come, and the Magic's wing reserves were not so sufficient.
Unexpectedly, Otis directly asked Raga Bell to replace him.
This time, the defensive strength of the Magic team's flanks has been greatly improved compared to the original.
However, this is Li Wan's evaluation based on what he knows about the strength of the Magic team in the new season.
To the outside world, these two deals can only be described as ......
Petty fights!
Compared to the Magic's trade, Chris Wallace's gameplay is much more fancy.
He first used the signing rights of Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal, Jason Collins, and Kevin Love to acquire Marco Jarric, Antoine Walker, Greg Buckner, and O.J. Mayo from the Timberwolves.
Then they traded separately, acquiring the signing rights to Darrell Arthur from the Trail Blazers and Steve Francis, cash and a 2009 second-round pick from the Rockets;
finally officially reached a 3-year, 9.81 million rookie contract with Marc Gasol;
After this operation, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies suddenly became clear: Conley, Mayo, Rudy Gayin, Hakeem Varik, Marc Gasol......
In a nutshell, it can be described in four words......
The future is promising!
It is also strange to say that in this year's free market, the operation of other general managers is also thunderous and rainy......
It's basically the transfer and transfer of players and buyouts.
As for the reason......
Except for Chris Wallace, who really thinks Memphis is about to rise, the general managers of other teams have only one purpose: to clean up bad assets and look to the summer of 2010!
At that time, LeBron James, Wade and Chris Bosh in the 03 "Golden Generation" will all expire their contracts, and there will be more second-tier stars......
If you don't have enough salary space, how can you catch big fish?
It's no wonder that these people have a long-term vision, mainly in the past two years.
The pattern of the alliance is there: East Celtics, West Lake......
The challengers are also the Cavaliers, Spurs, Magic and whatever.
Other teams have been "listening to the little brothers" for the past two years, just watch them play.
It wasn't until July 5 that the league made a deal that caused a lot of talk from the outside world:
The Cavaliers acquired their starting point guard from the Bucks last season, averaging 17.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, from the Bucks in a trade with the Thunder and Bucks.
Also got Delonti West from the SuperSonics. Although this product didn't play much in the SuperSonics team because of injuries last season, when he was still with the Celtics in the 06~07 season, he averaged 12.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.
In addition, Szczebiak "Handsome" also came to Cleveland in this deal.
The addition of three strong reinforcements, plus the growth of the team's younger brother Gibson and Valajo.
All of a sudden, LeBron's system was greatly amplified.
It was also after this deal that Cleveland fans could finally happily say: "LeBron finally has no shortage of helpers!" ”
Many media outlets also see the Cavaliers as the Lakers' biggest difficulty in defending their title next year......
“23vs24!”
When the New York Times shouted this slogan, David Stern, who was sitting in the president's office, immediately got goosebumps.
That feeling, "scratch" and it comes up!
This script is too suitable for the new season, right?
You must know that with the "OK" combination winning the championship successively, and the "big shark" is indeed "shark withering", the gimmick of "OK" hegemony will definitely no longer be able to be promoted as the main theme of the alliance......
And now:
Kobe Bryant, who sat on the throne, and his challenger, from the moment he entered the league, was destined to become the face of the future league, LeBron James, and met on the stage of the finals in the 08~09 season......
If this book is really written......
David Stern had seen the rain of beautiful knives coming at him.
This thing, I can do it!
He immediately called out a joke and asked him to contact the major media, and in the past few days, he has been advocating a wave of "23vs24"!
Li Wan had already stepped on the plane back to China at this moment.
He has to join the Chinese men's basketball team!
Sitting firmly on the plane, Li Wan opened his list of systems.
Since the intensive training is on physical fitness, even if it is only 1 month, the growth is visible to the naked eye!
"Upper limb strength: 70 (84);
Lower limb strength: 75 (84);
Waist and abdominal strength: 78 (85);
Explosiveness: 82 (91);
Speed: 79 (84);
Flexible: 79 (84);
Stamina: 72 (86);
Bounce: 81 (93)"
All the data has reached the league's starting level or above at this time, and the strength of the waist and abdomen and the strength of the lower limbs are closer to the All-Star level.
Speed and agility are only 1 point away from the All-Star level.
The biggest change is naturally explosiveness and bounce, and the potential improvement from DeRozan's template has made Li Wan officially have All-Star level explosiveness and bounce.
The change in physical fitness is not very large, the main reason is that there is no special training in this area, basically relying on the experience points accumulated slowly by big sports, breaking through to 72.
Since the higher the data, the closer you are to the potential, the slower the rate of improvement.
So such progress is already considerable!
Anyway, Li Wan is quite satisfied.
It is also worth mentioning that Li Wan's weight has reached 99 kilograms after a month of dietary adjustment, which is almost 100 kilograms.
This weight is still quite scary in the No. 1 position!
Li Wan wants to increase to 100 kilograms in the summer vacation, and with his explosive power, he can definitely easily become the "breakthrough locomotive" in the No. 1 position.
Other than that......
Li Wan's ball control skills also came to 76 after a month of additional training.
Barely to the point where he can control the ball proficiently.
So Grover put together a collection of Maddie's breakaways for him, and asked him to observe and learn more about how Maddie moved his opponent's center of gravity by dribbling.
According to Li Wan's needs, he formulated a "six-square grid" board training. - This idea was stolen by Li Wan from the "Ou Immortals".
Because the arm span is too short, the height of 1.91 meters is only 1.93 meters, and Irving rarely dunks in games.
is in a similar situation to him, as well as Curry, 1.91 meters, and an arm span of 1.92 meters.
This is also the reason why he and Irving are about the same height as Wei Shao, and their highest bounce is about the same, but their dunking ability is far inferior to Wei Shao.
Because of Wei Shao of 1.91 meters, the arm span is 2.03 meters!
However, it is different from Curry, who can't dunk but is obsessed with becoming "Golden State LaVine".
By observing the board, Irving developed a set of "six-square" board training to ensure that he could put the board into the basket from any position under the basket.
You see, people who can't dunk are idle~
There has always been a saying in cricket: as long as you hit the ball in the small box above the basket, the cricket ball will definitely go in.
In fact, this statement is false.
Later, the "jelly layup" and various high-hitting cricket layups showed that the more important thing about the layup was the angle and whether there was a stopper in the hand.
It is worth mentioning that when he officially started to study these videos, the system added a proficiency panel to him, so that he could intuitively know the familiarity of his moves.
As for why it wasn't before, Li Wan thought about it for a while and suddenly found ......
In the past season, he basically relied on his body and brain to play, and did not specifically study the moves of those stars, including the mid-range shooting posture that was infinitely close to Michael Jordan, which was also automatically corrected by the system.
After he watched the various videos that Grover had prepared for him, three skills were added to the proficiency panel:
Breakthrough with the ball (Maddie version) proficiency: 5;
Layup (Irving) Proficiency: 5;
Layup (Irving Advanced) Proficiency: 3;
……
Good fellow, it's another hard job!
This proficiency, the dog shook his head when he saw it!
12 hours and 40 minutes.
This is the flight time from Los Angeles to Forty-Nine City.
Li Wan looked at it over and over again.
Ball Breakthrough (Maddie Version) proficiency slowly rises to 7.
Well......
He did have a concept of a model lake in his head.
The next thing is to keep training and polishing this technique.
Originally, he wondered if he was looking for someone to fight alone, and his proficiency would be faster.
But soon he reacted again, with his proficiency, he practiced by himself in the early stage, and it is estimated that the speed of progress will be very fast.
And as far as the Chinese men's basketball team is concerned, it is really difficult to find someone who can hold the ball and fight with him.
The outside line of the Chinese men's basketball team has always been a heart disease.
Otherwise, Li Wan would not have the qualifications to make the request at all......
Scarcity is expensive!
When he arrived in Sijiu City, the property manager took him to complete the last few procedures, which required Li Wan to be present himself, and then was told that he would have to wait for 2 working days to get all the formalities and materials.
Li Wan has no opinion, he originally planned to go home for two days first, and now it is just right, and he doesn't have to ask for leave.
Li's father and Li mother were very happy to hear that Li Wan was back, but when Li Wan arrived home, the old couple almost didn't let in when they saw that Taylor didn't come back.
Li Wan was suddenly a little speechless.
What if we break up later......
Can you still live?
However, he didn't dare to ask this.
After playing at home for two days and continuing to study Maddie's body, Li Wan met some relatives close to his family, had a meal together, and then donated 1 million yuan to Wenchuan, which had just suffered misfortune, with his family, to do his best for post-disaster reconstruction.
On July 8, he returned to Sijiu City and saw the property management again, and all the procedures that should be done have been completed. He also moved into the Olympic Village.
From the perspective of the future, 08 is definitely a very special year, there was a heavy disaster, but also became a turning point in economic development, especially the 08 Olympic Games, so that the world to see the speed of China's revival, more foreign companies for the Chinese market, grab territory, fight, all kinds of flesh and blood model lake, since then, the development speed of all aspects of the country has risen again.
In less than 15 years, Huaxia manufacturing has spread all over the world......
The 08 Olympic Games have also become a special symbol in the hearts of many people!
It's just that for the 08 Olympic Games, Chinese basketball fans, some of them, are full of regrets.
Before Li Wan crossed, he also assumed that if Yao Ming had no injury reimbursement in the 07~08 season, would the Chinese men's basketball team be able to break through the top 8 and reach the top 4?
Now, the assumption has come true, with the influence of his "butterfly", Yao Ming did not reimburse the season as much as he did in the 07~08 season.
And this time, there is more of his x-factor!
Who wouldn't want to go one step closer?
Swiping the card to enter the Olympic Village, Li Wan's eyes flashed a little hot.
08 Olympics, I'm coming!
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, in a luxury apartment, Kwame Brown is on the phone with his agent, Mark Battlestein.
The free market is on, but he hasn't signed a contract yet.
It's not that no one signed with him.
Kupchak handed in a two-year contract extension worth $14 million at the end of the season, and the Bobcats also had a contract worth $13 million.
In addition, there are two or three other teams that have also quoted him annual salaries worth 6 million to 8 million.
Mark Battlestein had expected Kwame Brown to be the quickest client to complete a contract extension under his staff.
It's just that I didn't expect it, but it hasn't been a clear answer until now.
Brown was silent for a while, and finally said what was in his heart: "I want to sign with the Magic team, you can help me ask, can they provide it?"
What kind of contract ......"
"Huh?"
Mark Battlestein never imagined that Kwame Brown, who has been silent these days, could hold back such an answer. But his tone was so firm that he could only quickly call Otis.
When Otis, who was picking his feet in the office and thinking about the next reinforcement, received the call, he was directly excited and stood up barefoot.
Brown is here to vote, and the magic is a big deal!
Although he knows that most of the prices given to Kwame Brown outside are now above 6 million dollars, which is not a price he can afford, but ......
Since Brown took the initiative to ask his agent to call, it means that Kwame Brown has the idea of coming to the Magic team.
Then the price is still negotiable.
As for the reason:
He also knew that Kwame Brown thanked Lee Wan specifically for facing reporters after the game.
That's probably why.
He also immediately called Li Wan, but unfortunately no one answered.
Li Wan was meeting with other people in the Chinese men's basketball team at this time.
In addition to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, who he had already seen, he also saw Wang Zhizhi, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Lei, Li Nan, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Chen Jianghua......
This is the last "golden generation" of the Chinese men's basketball team in the next 13 years.
As the people in this lineup retire one after another, the sky belonging to the Chinese men's basketball team has gradually darkened.
Of course, if you really want to say it, in the new generation, there are really few talents who can compare with these people.
The Pan 96 generation, as well as the members of the Chinese men's basketball team of this generation, most of them are foreign aid-level strengths.
Like Zhu Fangyu, he even received a contract from Celtic.
Although it's only a 10-day contract......
But if you can take the initiative in the NBA, you can see how strong Zhu Fangyu is.
More importantly, this guy played under the condition of smoking, drinking, and playing "Zhu Baquan".
If you are more disciplined in life, you may be able to achieve even higher.
However, this is also a common problem of the Chinese men's basketball team, whether it is this generation or the previous generation, it is the same.
Self-disciplined domestic players like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are really rare.
Most of them smoke and drink, and they almost burn their hair......
To what extent are they undisciplined?
Let's put it this way......
There used to be a player in the national team named Gong Xiaobin, who was addicted to smoking during the game, and he had to take a puff before he could play.
You have to ask why such a player can be in the national team......
That's sorry, people smoke cigarettes, but they can still do foreign aid on the field.
In a word......
Squandering talent is the same at home and abroad.
There was also Zhang Qingpeng in the original list.
This time, because Li Wan joined the men's basketball team, he unfortunately failed.
Later, Li Wan met Younas, the veteran coach of the Olympic team.
The "Caesar of Europe" showed a kind smile when he saw Li Wan, but he looked forward to this Buddha.
After meeting in the summer league last year, Younas said to Li Wanzhen that he "didn't want to eat", and said the most to the property management people all day long, "Is Li confirmed?" ”
Seeing Li Wan with his own eyes at this time, a stone in his heart was finally able to land.
Li Wan's impression of the head coach is not very good......
Because he still can't understand why at the last moment, Younas had to replace Wang Zhizhi, who performed so well, in the Spanish game!
Just because he doesn't like to defend?
But at that time, who wouldn't defend desperately!
Can't figure it out......
However, thinking of the fact that the Chinese men's basketball team once led by 15 points in the game in Spain, Li Wan couldn't help but say: This is the Chinese men's basketball team in my memory!
In addition to the dream team, anyone can play, and even if it is a dream team, it can last for half a game.
It's like the 19-year-old Chinese men's basketball team, it's hard to play Poland, and if you want to change the 08-year-old Chinese men's basketball team, do you still use that weird boundary ball?
Poland simply won't be given that chance!
Later, Li Wan also met with the training team specially prepared by the property management for this Olympic Games.
Among them, he also met old acquaintances who trained him last summer.
Seeing the trainer who was familiar with his body, Li Wan was even more relieved now.
After meeting each other, Zhu Fangyu went to dinner, Wang Shipeng and Sun Yue followed, but Yao Ming and they did not. Like Yi Jianlian, he stayed in the training hall and entered the training state in advance.
Everyone's personality is vividly reflected in this moment.
Li Wan just watched, he had no intention of changing others, even if Sun Yue, a genius who made domestic fans feel regretful, he never thought about changing his life.
Moreover, his life has been changed.
After the Lakers selected Li Wan, they did not choose Sun Yue again, although he was still selected in the second round, but this time he was selected by Mark Cuban.
Then let's see if Dallas's cold eyes will change his attitude!
Instead of losing myself in Los Angeles as it was......
"Wow, so fast!"
The training team suddenly sounded a burst of surprise, it turned out that it was not only Yi Jianlian who stayed to train, but also the "speed boy" Chen Jianghua.
This guy is about to make a name for himself at the Olympics.
Facing the Dream Team, he passed almost everyone over again, including Kobe, who was also shaken by him once.
But at this moment, he is actually only 17 years old!
I haven't played a professional game, and I was selected for the men's basketball team this time simply because of his talent.
It means "inheritance"!
It's just a pity that the "King of Speed" has many injuries, and Chen Jianghua is the same, and later because of too many injuries, he lost his explosive power, and he never had to retire and could only play wild ball.
Of course, playing wild ball is not a bad end, and many people who play wild ball earn more than professional players......
Especially after there were various short video apps later, let alone that.
Speaking of which, there are still a lot of domestic talents ruined by injuries, such as a regrettable incident that just happened before, known as "Huaxia Carter", Xu Yong, who was affirmed by Russell as the "light of the outside line", was found to have a serious injury, and he gradually drifted away from the road of professional players......
Li Wan saw that Chen Jianghua was so interested, so he greeted him: "Brother, bullfighting?" ”
Chen Jianghua was at the age when he was at his most energetic, and when he heard Li Wan's words, he did not flinch because he was an NBA player, but simply said: "Okay!" ”
Li Wan let Chen Jianghua attack first, after washing the ball, Chen Jianghua just made a simple observation, and then dribbled continuously, trying to shake Li Wan's center of gravity.
Unlike the NBA stars who made Chen Jianghua suddenly go through it later, Li Wan knew that this guy was powerful, so he was very serious from the beginning.
But when Chen Jianghua rushed past him, he still couldn't help but say in his heart: So fast!
That's the kind of speed that can catch up with many NBA players who are known for their speed.
However, Li Wan paid special attention to it, and his shift of gravity forward was just a flaw that he deliberately sold, waiting for his breakthrough, and then followed behind Chen Jianghua.
At this time, Chen Jianghua's disadvantages of not playing a profession became apparent.
He was inexperienced, so he asked Li Wanyi to take the hat away......
“wow!”
The trainer who was familiar with Li Wan couldn't help but shout:
"Li, your physical fitness has improved a lot!"
