24. Want to learn hook hands?
At noon the second day after playing the Sun Demons, Li Ao returned to Los Angeles with the Trojans.
The head coach invited the members of the coaching staff to lunch, brought Li Ao with him, and after lunch, he had to go back to the Memorial Gymnasium to test the results of last week's special training for Li Ao.
Li Ao ordered two or three dishes that were not expensive but liked to eat, which opened the eyes of the coaching staff!
Their team members are not greedy!
In college basketball, for decades, the main players have also been dominated by black players.
It seems that the basketball clubs in each school are more white, but only more numerous.
is accustomed to getting along with a group of players who like to be greedy and cheap, even if you take into account the living environment of most of the low-level blacks, it is the instinct to want to take advantage of it when you see a bargain...... Seeing Li Ao's appearance when he ordered, they still felt comfortable, and the adjective that popped up in their minds - 'elegant'!
The establishment of good feelings is always strange, and most of the coaching staff have a good impression of Li Ao from the beginning, not for anything else, but because he speaks politely.
He couldn't even think of killing him, so he just had a normal meal and could get praise.
After lunch, the coaching staff took Li Ao back to the Memorial Gymnasium, where they had to work overtime to prepare for the two games of the week, and they will have to prepare for training tomorrow afternoon.
Li Ao was thrown by Henry Bibby to the head coach's office of the women's team, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon he had to go to the training ground to prepare, and it had to be more than two o'clock, and now it was only 1 o'clock, and he had just eaten, so he didn't run to practice right away.
The women's team is going to play Stanford University tomorrow, and she has already gone to San Francisco this morning, and there is a computer in the office.
After shopping around the forum for a while, he was embarrassed.
(λβΈλ)
He did well last night, didn't he?
Why is the hottest topic related to him being how handsome he is in a suit?
There is also the topic of saying that he is the rich second generation, which is also hotter than the topic of discussing his performance last night.
Well, not many people talk about his performance.
Last night, Bai Mamba's performance was the focus of discussion among the alumni.
Despised Americans who only looked at their faces and money, Li Ao typed in the website and played a small game for a while.
Not to mention, the game of this year, although the picture quality is very scummy.
But even the mini-games on the website have their own ideas and game mechanics.
Unlike in the future, all kinds of nesting dolls, just change the skin and use it to make money.
After resting for a while, Li Ao came to the training ground first, shook the old man over, warmed up, and carried out the training task of catching the ball and throwing it.
When the test is over, he will continue to practice.
The training mission went very smoothly, and when completed in one attempt, 50 achievement points were returned.
He's starting to look forward to the higher-level catch-and-shoot training tasks, which he used to treat as a workout, but now it doesn't work.
Now there are two paths in front of him, one is to follow Xavier Johnson for advanced special training, and the other is to expand the basic skills and techniques related to receiving and shooting.
The two paths do not conflict, they can be done together.
After carrying out the catch-and-shoot training task, Li Ao continued to use the help of the old man to catch and shoot the ball after moving quickly, which is the goal 3 of the level 1 task.
Although he can easily complete this mission goal now, the training hit rate of about sixty percent is still too stumbling, and he has to continue to strengthen.
It was close to 3 p.m. when several coaches arrived at the training ground.
The old man happily said hello to a few people, and after getting an enthusiastic response, he didn't continue to pay attention to these people, and left the training ground slowly, not delaying Xiaoyou's business.
Others don't know, can Henry Bibby still know that Li Ao is a poor boy?
The coaching staff also knew through him that those outrageous rumors were false, so the goodwill deepened when they saw Li Ao's 'elegant' appearance at noon.
Henry Bibby wondered, how could this redundant guy with a long mouth and a golden bell hood iron cloth shirt who only practiced his face always be able to play with the big guy?
This time it's still the big guy and his father!
This hiccup did not affect the rest of the test.
The coaching staff had expected that Li Ao would come to train first, and after they came, they avoided the warm-up link and went straight to the point.
The content of the test is the things they practiced when they instructed Li Ao in special training for a few months.
The test went very well, but there was a difference between some projects performing well and others performing poorly.
An hour later, all 3 sets of tests were over.
Not surprisingly, Sam Hayes was not happy with his performance.
Surprisingly, Kevin Henderson wasn't happy either.
In fact, Kevin Henderson was quite satisfied with Li Ao's progress, but when he thought of this kid's outstanding performance of 4 assists and only 1 turnover last night, he couldn't be satisfied.
What's the use of playing so well in a game? The test is when he is a good coach!
The pass test wasn't as good as the defensive test, and he felt humiliated.
What surprised Li Ao even more was that the catch-and-shoot test actually satisfied Xavier Johnson!
He received a quest hint and was rewarded with 500 achievement points!
Although this hardcore user loves to encourage people, he has always been very demanding in training.
However, he thought back to the catch-and-shoot training task just now, as well as the catch-and-shoot test just now, and his shooting performance seemed to be better than last week.
He suddenly remembered the skill of 'catch-and-shoot expert'.
After receiving the ball, he makes a mid-range shot without dribbling, and his mid-range shooting ability is +2.
Even if he is currently in the stage of rapid growth, and has an efficiency of 1.6 times, it will take at least ten days and half a month of hard work to improve the two-point investment ability.
No wonder Xavier Johnson is satisfied.
And this skill allows him to feel a stronger shooting feeling when he catches and shoots, which also helps him in shooting training.
After taking the time to give Li Ao a test, the coaching staff went back to busy, for them, coming out for a test was an adjustment after the discussion of tactics was swollen in the brain.
In the first test, Li Ao actually didn't have much hope, after all, the special training had just started for a week, and the newly learned things were still in the most torturous stage of practice.
He actually passed a test, and he was in a good mood.
Keep up the practice!
Not long after the coaches left, the old man who had been hanging out for an hour came back.
Li Ao was overjoyed: "McHale, you came just in time, continue training!" β
The old man's swaying steps immediately became vigorous, walked to the court, and said, "How was the test?" β
"Of course it's perfect, and I don't look at who I am, it's just that my shooting is a little bit worse, and I'm ready to practice again."
"Yes, yes, worthy of the geniuses I fancie, they are already so good, but they still work so hard to make up for their own shortcomings......"
The two talked nonsense for a while, and the old man said: "Leo, I think you are very talented in learning hooks, do you want to try to practice?" β
Li Ao thought of his two nondescript hooks last night, and responded: "That's, I don't have any talent, you watched last night's live broadcast?" β
"I didn't see it."
"Then how do you know I have a talent for hooking?"
"I was in the box on the second floor last night."
ββ¦β¦β
Li Ao was shown again.
Every NCAA team plays 40 games a season, and those who can play 40 games are either the annual champion or the runner-up.
This makes the matchup always very much to watch, with two crazy three teams in the PAC10 league playing each other, and last night's game was expensive.
This old man goes directly to the private room!
Whether it's a ticket bought or a free ticket, it's all eye-catching.
After showing off Li Ao's face, the old man was in a happy mood and began to teach Li Ao the basic skills of hooking.
He has been tinkering with this matter for a while, just waiting for an opportunity to teach Li Ao to hook his hands.
As the old man who watched the key to the memorial gymnasium, he had a wide range of knowledge, and when he saw Li Ao's training, he knew that this son might stir up trouble in the basketball world in the future.
If Li Ao really walks out of the campus in the future, enters the professional basketball world, and makes a name for himself, when mentioning the person who helped him the most in the early days of his career, he mentioned his janitor......
Of course, the most important thing is Li Ao's appetite for him.
With this evil idea, he has been making a teaching plan last week, and in order to catch up with the schedule, he has a few people to help.
The people who played were the Lakers shooting coach, the Bruins shooting coach, the Clippers shooting coach, the Inglewood High School head coach, and the industry's famous private shooting coach Chris Irving......
He said that he wanted to leave a valuable learning secret for his hook technique, which could be obtained by those who were destined to put it in the deep mountains and old forests.
After a few days, a detailed hook shot cheats were polished.
Li Ao didn't sweep the old man's interest, and agreed to follow along.
Originally, he just wanted to make the old man happy, learn for a while and continue to practice shooting.
But if you learn, you will really learn!
After a few months of shooting practice, his control of the ball has been called excellent in the shooting area, and he has a good foundation to continue to expand the shooting in other positions.
But most importantly, he felt that he had learned so well!
Moreover, the old man has taken into account many details, no matter what problems he has, the old man can immediately come up with a solution.
The cheats of using the ability to make money use of the top shooting coaches in Los Angeles are called meticulous.
Li Ao compared, this ability, I'm afraid Xavier Johnson doesn't have it!
didn't spare his mouth, and caught the old man with a bloody boast.
This made the old man teach harder, and Li Ao also changed from being ready to perfunctory the old man at the beginning, to really studying seriously.
Although he was a little disgusted that this action was too old-fashioned, this meticulous basic skill polishing process ...... He learns!
β¦
There is another item in the shooting learning - close-range hook, but it has not affected Li Ao's training process.
He fixed the time to die, and practiced a few sets every day.
In this regard, the new senior hook shooting coach complained constantly, but he did not mess around, he knew very well that mid-range shooting, passing, and defense were things that Li Ao needed more to do.
Although Li Ao also needs a way to score from close range, it is good for him to shoot or respond in the middle of his run, as evidenced by the Sun Demon team.
But close-range scoring can only be an assist, and mid-to-long-range shooting is the core.
Xavier Johnson doesn't have a problem with this, he has secretly watched, this old man is not easy to say, hook teaching is really awesome.
And Li Aozhong's shot is too handsome, and he, the shooting coach, thinks it should be neutralized.
Another day passed, and on Wednesday, the Trojans hosted the Washington State University Pumgars.
This opponent, in the words of Shelby Jordan's mockery of Sam Clancy, is to throw the sophomore version of Sam Clancy who has been scraped to thank you for your patronage, and the other party will be re-cultivated as a baby and scratched again.
In terms of record, the Pumas lead the way, with a record of 1 win and 17 losses in the division last season, and only 27 games in the year, with 3 wins and 24 losses.
The season started with 3 games and 3 losses, averaging a net minus 17 points per game.
What the media said about those 3 games - the competitions of high school students and college students.
After playing against 3 strong opponents in a row, the Trojans finally got a respite.
The starting line-up saw their minutes drop dramatically, with Nate Hale, Sam Clancy and Brushenthal being the protagonists of the night.
Li Ao, who played 24 minutes in the last game, got a long playing time tonight, played a full 19 minutes, and got 7 points, 1 board, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.
He didn't do the things he wasn't good at just because he had the opportunity tonight, he was still honestly responding, responding, shooting, and defending.
He didn't score on the inside tonight, the Cougars were hanging, and there was nothing to pursue, the talented players couldn't get it, and the weaker ones didn't have their share, so they chose to fill the face when selecting the players, and there were 4 people on the 12-person main list who were more than two meters tall, and there were two seven-foot big men on the inside line at any time.
Don't talk about him Li Ao, Sam Clancy's position has been dug into the battle.
But apart from interior height, the Pumas really don't have any other advantages.
After 1 hour and 37 minutes of play, the Trojans beat the Cougars 104-77 to start a four-game winning streak!
After the game, Li Ao received a system prompt that the mid-pitch had been increased to 72!
With a little more improvement, and the bonus of the skill 'Catch and Shoot Expert', he can be regarded as a good midstream player!
What's more, as his mid-range shot increased to 72, the system finally gave him an evaluation!
"Name: Li Ao, English name: Leo.
Age: 18 years old (August 1, 1981).
Height: 200 cm, Reach: 215 cm.
Weight: 90 kg.
Overall rating: 60.
Physical fitness: speed 89 (burst acceleration 81), strength 89 (explosive power 83), bounce 76 (speed 79), flexibility 92, physical strength 88......
Basic skills: three-point - (not up to the basic level), 72 mid-range shots, 81 ......layups, 69 ball control, 69 passes, 72 step backs, 71 lateral moves, 74 forward ......
Skills: Lack of basic level of technical ......"
Finally reached the NCAA passing line, and it was not easy to rely on the basic skills of mid-range shooting and defense to pile up the strength of the passing level!
After the comprehensive evaluation to the passing line, there were three more options: burst speed, explosive power, and bullet speed, and he had a question, asked it in his heart, and the system answered.
"When the host uses attribute points to increase speed, strength, and bounce, the burst acceleration, explosive power, and bounce speed will be increased simultaneously, if the host uses attribute points to increase the speed to 90, the burst acceleration will be increased to 82 simultaneously."
Just as he was about to reminisce about the past, he suddenly discovered a problem!
"Dick! Why am I getting taller again? β
