The blacksmith room at Los Angeles Memorial Stadium.

Jordan stood on the sidelines in a tracksuit, his small belly slightly bulging, and his figure was already blessed, after all, he had been away from the court for two and a half years.

The last time I played an NBA game was in June '98.

On the court, Li Ao moved at will, and hit the ball in a row, and Jordan was amazed.

received a call from Li Ao in the morning, and Jordan made an appointment with Li Ao for lunch at noon.

He happened to be in Los Angeles discussing the development of Ao's business value with AJ executives...... In fact, he is only responsible for listening, pure participation, and what he says AJ senior left ear in and out of right ear.

It's not that he doesn't respect him, but his ideas are very different.

At the earliest, Jordan got a small part of Nike's dry shares and his personal series of sneaker decision-making, dominance, and veto power, and he could get Nike's profit dividends, and decide the publicity direction and design concept of his sneakers.

But although there is no problem with the general direction of his business, the detailed operations and decisions are called 'baseball players' by Nike internally.

In the end, Nike's senior management couldn't stand Jordan's fingers, and after the dispute + negotiation, in 1997, Nike split AJ, converted the Nike equity in Jordan's hands into AJ's permanent sales dividend, and also gave a guarantee of the lower limit of dividends, if it did not reach the dividend of 50 million US dollars in 1 year, Nike made up for it...... But this guarantee was not triggered, and when Jordan retired in the summer of '98, the dividends of the new brand in the first year almost caught up with the total salary of his basketball career.

Regarding Li Ao's desire to learn to beat back, Jordan readily accepted.

He wanted to see how talented this rookie who dared to claim to be more talented than him was.

But more importantly, he already had itchy hands, and watching Zen Master lead other teams to win the championship with a triangle attack, he couldn't hold it back in the summer.

However, in the 98 finals, he won the championship with a stunner ball, and the picture was too perfect.

It was so perfect that he was reluctant to destroy it.

After struggling for half a year, he still couldn't resist the urge to continue stepping on the court, and recently began to seriously consider a comeback.

But unlike in '95, he didn't stop his athletic career, and soon after his first retirement, he joined the Chicago White Sox...... Affiliated lower league team Birmingham Barons.

Although the performance of his baseball career was not even up to the average of the lower leagues, he maintained his physical condition, and returned to the Bulls at the end of the 94-95 season, still easily averaging 25+ per game, and after adapting to more than a dozen games, he was able to average 30+ per game in the playoffs.

But now that he has even begun to develop his body, he has to make more preparations to make a comeback.

It's not bad to take the time to guide Li Ao in training, and he just took this opportunity to move his body and start his comeback plan.

After lunch, the two came to the Memorial Stadium, and after moving their bodies, Jordan asked Li Ao to show off his shots.

Even if he is a basketball god, he was surprised to see Li Ao's mid-range shot.

At the age of 19, there is no dead end in the middle of the pitch, this talent is outrageous!

If it's just a pitcher, this Spider-Man also averages 4.9 assists, 1.5 steals, and 3.9 blocks per game.

He also paid attention to Li Ao's game and understood Li Ao's style of play, he had always felt that Li Ao's style of play was great and he was a good player, and he couldn't imagine that any player of the same age could be better than Li Ao.

It's just that after seeing Li Ao's mid-range shooting performance in training, he began to look down on Li Ao's usual style of play.

The single offensive method greatly limits Li Ao's personal offensive performance!

This physical condition, this shooting ability, if there is a breakthrough, he will make a stop-and-go jump shot...... Jordan thought about it, and seemed to be too embarrassed for a 19-year-old rookie.

Teaching must be taught, and the better Spider-Man plays, the more Boss Joe earns.

However, at a young age, what to learn about back fighting, he Boss Qiao will have a lot of tricks.

After Li Ao showed off his mid-range shot, Jordan asked Li Ao to show breakthroughs, layups, and so on.

When he was studying, Li Ao was very obedient and obediently went to show it again.

And then......

Jordan said, "OK, I'll teach you to hit the back."

But I have the conditions, I will teach you to fight back, you and I practice, sparring for half an hour, and I will teach you for 10 minutes. ”

Li Ao replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”

So easy to talk to?

Jordan continued to ask: "In sparring, I attack all the way, no problem, right?" ”

"Okay."

“？”

Jordan wondered, this Spider-Man, didn't he have the idea of trying to beat him up while he was fat now?

Li Ao came to the free throw line, and the system prompt came.

"The host is paired with a player who has reached the age of 34, and the punch is triggered at level 3 in the nursing home, with fixed bonuses: speed +2, strength +2, and bounce +2; Defense: The awareness of judging the opponent's shooting timing and the direction of breakthrough is improved, and the opponent has a 10% probability of predicting the direction of the pass when passing. ”

Yesterday, he got the level 3 skill upgrade card, and he upgraded the 'boxing nursing home' to level 3.

Unfortunately, the trigger age has not decreased, however, the fixed bonus has been doubled to make it more useful.

The shooting bonus on offense has also been increased to two points, which is also more practical.

On the defensive end, there is also a heightened awareness of anti-breakouts.

There is another tip.

"Because Michael Jordan is determined to start his basketball career again, the sparring mode is on."

"Excellent sparring partner:

Sparring Partner: Michael Jordan.

Rating: 5 stars.

Sparring content: one-on-one defense.

Sparring Reward: 5 achievement points for each attack blocked.

Due to Michael Jordan's limited physical condition, there is no additional perception in this sparring session. ”

Li Ao felt a crow rattling and flying on his head, and a few dead leaves floating down.

This is also called a 5-star sparring partner?

Forget it, just have it.

But Boss Joe really began to prepare for a comeback, he was a little excited, no matter how old the god was, he was also an average of 20+ players per game, he remembered that Jordan's state went all the way up after his comeback, but at the end of February, he injured his knee and torn his meniscus when he played against the Heat, before that, he played 52 of the first 54 games of the Wizards, and he was in excellent physical condition, averaging 25+6+5 per game, and only 1 of the 52 games did not score a double-double, and he got 15 single-game 30+, 5 single-game 40+, and 1 single-game 50+.

But after the meniscus was torn, in two months, Jordan only played 6 games in a scattered manner, scoring mostly single digits, more than a dozen points, impaired athleticism, collapsed in state, and only averaged 20 points per game in the coming year.

Put away the distractions, Li Ao concentrated, sent the ball to Jordan, and defended with all his might!

Beat Jordan on the offensive end, and wait until next season to develop some singles skills.

But to prevent Jordan, after Jordan finishes losing weight, there will be no such a good chance!

Seeing rookie Spider-Man's eyes flickering, Jordan smelled a hint of danger.

No matter! Let's fight!

Look at how many pounds and taels this rookie with a highly praised defense has!

Li Ao opened his arms and lowered his center of gravity, Rao is Jordan is mentally prepared, and when facing Li Ao one-on-one, he still has a feeling that the whole person is covered.

The competitiveness rose all of a sudden, and Jordan broke through!

Don't look at Jordan now has a small belly, his steps are still agile, and he has an excellent sense of rhythm, he grabbed the breakthrough gap and started immediately, grabbed the position before Li Ao moved horizontally into place, and relied on his weight and static strength to firmly occupy the position.

Li Ao did not panic, raised a hand to interfere with the shooting space, Jordan had no chance to shoot, and chose to rush to the basket, Li Ao fought and retreated, closely following Jordan's footsteps.

Jordan burst to the sideline of the three-second zone, suddenly turned right, went around to the middle, jumped, and made a layup ...... "snap"......

Li Ao's body hasn't completely turned around yet, but relying on his height and arm span bounce advantage, he tilted his body and slapped the ball that Jordan had just thrown out!

Speed, confrontation, defensive basic footwork, blocking awareness...... And this big spider-like size.

Although he was capped, Jordan wanted to praise him.

But before he could speak, the other party spoke first.

"The god of basketball is really old, I can't avoid my block when I go to the basket, and it's still fun to practice against Kobe......"

Jordan exploded on the spot!

He came back to the top arc with a gloomy face, and kept silent, asking the ball to dry!

Li Ao said 'boring', but his actions were focused and serious.

Jordan knew that Li Ao was talking trash and deliberately provoked him, but he was even angrier.

This rookie actually thinks that he has to provoke him to get more defensive fun!

However, Jordan, who weighed 110+ kilograms and had a declining muscle ratio and soaring body fat percentage, was sluggish and agile, which was not enough to support him to use his skills.

He sometimes subconsciously hits according to his previous habits, jumping up is to give a big hat or walk on the ground.

Striking iron, quilt hat...... There are even mistakes that are tackled head-on!

Jordan got a taste of basketball like he had never had before.

He can score goals occasionally, but they are not pretty, and it is even more humiliating for him, who cares so much about the beauty of scoring.

And, as the alignment lasted longer, the worse Jordan played and began to gasp.

Li Ao didn't spare his hand at all on the defensive end, and the confrontation was full!

Hit the back, Jordan began to hit with his back to prevent being stealed by Li Ao.

Under normal circumstances, he would not hit his back when his height and arm span were at a comprehensive disadvantage, and now he has no moves.

Finally, Jordan leaned on his back to make a fake move, deceiving Li Ao, who wanted to block, jumped, and he turned around and rushed into the inside.

Seeing the basket, Jordan grabbed the ball and jumped hard, he wanted to vent his anger today with a beautiful dunk......

However, his legs went weak when he took off!

The person jumped up, but the lower limbs were insufficient, and the upper body subconsciously leaned forward...... The whole person pounced!

"Ah...... Oh......"

Jordan fell to the ground, unable to control his teeth and screaming in pain, despite gritting his teeth.

As soon as Li Ao, who landed on the ground after being shaken away, turned around to chase after him, he saw Jordan flying out of the bottom line.

What's going on?

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Michael, are you okay?" ”

Jordan covered his abdomen and tried to open a slit in his eyes and looked at Li Ao - do you think I'm okay?

But he was so painful that he couldn't speak, and could only hum a few words.

To help or not to help?

I still don't help, I don't know where Jordan was injured and what the situation is, call the team doctor!

Li Ao walked quickly to the side of the training ground, dialed the internal line with the wall-mounted phone, and notified the team doctor to come over.

The man has already called, but he is now very square.

There were only two people on the scene, me and Jordan.

Now, Jordan is clutching his abdomen in agony in front of me, as if his ribs have been broken, how can I explain it?

Waiting online, in a hurry!

…

"Oh my God, Leo, you broke Jordan's ribs? How can you do that! ”

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Ao arrived at the team's training ground, Odom immediately came up and asked in an unkind tone.

Big Q and Margeti stood aside, also with a bad face.

The god of basketball! An idol for both of them!

Li Ao replied helplessly: "I didn't hit him, he fell down when he went to the basket." ”

"You didn't defend Jordan and got angry and pushed him down and broke his ribs?"

"What am I pushing him for?"

"If you don't push him, how can he fall?"

Li Ao was inexplicably familiar with the remarks of "......", he thought for a while and said: "Yes, that's right, I pushed it." ”

"Cut...... It's boring......"

Odom, Big Q, and Margeti, who pretended to be fierce, left immediately.

hasn't had fun yet, Spider-Man flipped the table directly.

Although the team did not arrange training yesterday, they still came to the Memorial Stadium to practice, and saw the team doctors leaving in a hurry, splints, bandages, stretchers and other things, very curious about what happened.

After a while, the team doctors returned to the training ground, and they inquired, only to learn that Jordan and Li Ao had broken ribs during training, and the team doctors had made emergency treatment and sent them to the hospital.

Hearing the news, the Clippers players were collectively messy.

Did Spider-Man do it to God?

They hurriedly ended their training and went to the hospital to inquire about the situation, some were worried, some were in the fun, and they all went.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Jordan had already done a detailed examination and completed the lumbar and abdominal immobilization.

Jordan, who was lying on the hospital bed, thanked them for coming to visit, saying that he was paralyzed at that time and only pressed on the organs, and the three broken ribs did not hurt the internal organs, and the Clippers team doctor handled it well, and he was no longer in so much pain when he was on the stretcher.

And the reason for the injury, Jordan said that he slipped through the sweat that stepped on the floor when he passed Li Ao and entered the inside dunk.

Jordan didn't admit that he was just in less than 20 minutes of alignment, and he was so tired that he couldn't jump off the dunk.

It must be stepped on to the sweat and slipped!

Jordan's words, the Clippers players believed it on the spot, without any doubts.

If it was really a fight, Jordan couldn't have thanked their team doctor so politely.

And they know Li Ao very well, they discussed it before they arrived at the hospital, if it was their Spider-Man, they would choose to call 911 and call an ambulance, not a team doctor.

If you can make the other party hurt a little more, it will hurt a little more.

They just want to tease Spider-Man today, and after knowing each other for a long time, they have become emboldened.

A rare opportunity.

But Spider-Man didn't seem to be in a very good mood today, and directly flipped the table.

Li Ao's side, he can only have a ghost if he is in a good mood.

It's okay not to mention it, but I'm depressed when I think about it!

I just found a back-to-back teacher, and I actually broke my ribs with a dunk!

Should the road to back development be so bumpy?

As for the outside world's remarks, he didn't really care.

Jordan didn't just tell the Clippers players that he accidentally slipped and fell, he also said so in an interview.

AJ and Nike also responded to the media in the same way.

The vast majority of people believe that this is the way things are, and this matter is not complicated, and the reporter can learn more about it when he goes to the hospital for an interview, and the difference between a fall and an injury is obvious.

But some people still say that it was Li Ao who broke Jordan's ribs.

There's no evidence, it's 'I think', 'It's not that simple'.

There are also very outrageous remarks - Li Ao sprinkled water on the floor in advance and plotted against Jordan.

But normal people are laughing at this kind of rhetoric.

Li Ao didn't have to respond to this, and he was now thinking about who else he could ask for.

After 100 days of injury, Jordan will definitely not be able to teach him on the court in a short period of time.

The main reason is that he has been in the NBA for two months, and there are only a few people he knows who are good at back playing, and most of them are still active.

When it came to the pre-game meeting and preparation training, Li Ao put aside the worries about the back fight and devoted himself to the preparation state.

He is very open-minded, and there are many ways to improve his strength, not only the development of back play.

If you really want to practice back play, you can also practice it yourself according to the video, and most of the player development techniques are like this.

Wait until Jordan's injury is healed and then learn.

At 11 o'clock at noon, the Clippers' preparation training ended, and Li Ao was ready to take a shower, eat lunch, and take a lunch break to recharge for tonight's game against the Heat.

That's when the teammates suddenly started to stir.

Li Ao followed the sound and saw his teammates gathered around.

He stepped forward curiously, but his teammates suddenly got out of the way again, and Li Ao saw the people who were surrounded...... Michael Jordan in a wheelchair with his waist and abdomen immobilized!

"Boss, you're not lying in the hospital, what are you doing here?"

"You gave me a sparring partner, I haven't taught you back beating, I'm not a person who doesn't count."

"You're all in a wheelchair, first of all, I don't discriminate against people with disabilities, are you going to teach me wheelchair basketball?"

Jordan's fists tightened, but he held back, there were so many people, who was angry and who was embarrassed.

Besides, he still has to rely on Spider-Man to make money, and the other party has to teach him if he doesn't learn.

Ignoring Li Ao, Jordan said to himself: "I hired a very good trainer for you, and the last time I came back, he helped me train my back." ”

Jordan raised his finger behind his back as he spoke, and Li Ao looked at the person pushing the wheelchair behind Jordan......

"! Cobra James! ”

…

Jordan invited the entire Clippers to lunch and thanked so many people for visiting him yesterday.

After lunch, Li Ao dragged James Worthy to the blacksmith's room for training.

Looking at Li Ao's impatient appearance, James Worthy did not feel disgusted.

He has a good impression of this genius who almost went to the Lakers, what if he goes to the Lakers in the future?

It's not for nothing that the Clippers have been a genius to the Lakers, Byron Scott was selected by the Clippers and traded to the Lakers, and he also played the Lakers' leading scorer.

For Li Ao's positive training attitude, James Worthy, a training maniac, also appreciates it.

Moreover, AJ wants to give money, and it is not a white religion.

After Li Ao moved his body, James Worthy gave a half-hour teaching.

At this time, in fact, I didn't teach anything, but only gave a preliminary explanation of the application conditions of back beating, basic movements, and standing posture.

Seeing Li Ao's serious study attitude, James Worthy taught him very enthusiastically.

That's it......

This Spider-Man's mouth is broken! Like 100,000 whys.

And it's easy to blow up!

"James, you Lakers and Bulls don't have a good relationship? You've become a Bulls fan? Aren't you afraid of your retired jersey being ripped off by the Lakers? ”

"You and Michael are college teammates? You didn't turn against each other because of the grudge in the finals? ”

"You've also gotten MOPs? Coincidentally, I've also won it, I struggled to win 33 straight wins to win the championship, and by the way, your Lakers have also won 33 straight wins...... What? How could there be no you in there? Aren't you the No. 1 small forward in Lakers history? ”

"When you retire, you're going to be a trainer for Jordan...... Is there a charge? It's good to charge it, I heard that Jordan made 100 million last year, and he must be charged. ”

“……”

“……”

James Worthy really wants to sew this rookie's beak up!

What a rookie, why do you have a long beak?

Forget it, for Spider-Man's sake, he endured it.

Even if Spider-Man doesn't work hard, he looks at the American knife...... No, for God's sake, you have to endure it!

…

Li Ao's mood in the past two days has been like a roller coaster, fortunately, the final situation is better than he imagined.

In fact, he was skeptical of Jordan's teaching ability.

Replaced by James Worthy, he was relieved.

At least on the first day, James Worthy seemed very professional.

From the conversation with James Worthy, he also knew that this big scene James is now professionally doing this.

After retiring from football, James Worthy opened a basketball coaching studio, one-on-one service, and after a few years, he was very proficient in business.

After the explanation, Li Ao took James Worthy to find Gentry.

Regarding the fact that Li Ao found a famous player from the Lakers next door to learn to play back, Gentry was very happy to cooperate with James Worthy to arrange time.

At this point, Li Ao no longer thinks about the question of 'how to develop back play', for him, developing back play is just a part of his training, just like looking for Kobe Bryant's 'playing experience package'.

At 7:10 p.m., the Staples Center, the Heat and Clippers entered the court.

After entering, Li Ao looked at the opposite side...... Another opponent at the 50-win level.

Not only that, but it's also a team with iron-blooded tactics!

In this game, Li Ao was particularly motivated.

However, the other side is actually quite unlucky, they should not only have 50 wins.

Last season, the Heat won 52 and lost to the Knicks in a playoff tiebreaker.

This summer, all eyes were on the Magic swallowing Duncan and Grant Hill and the Clippers in one go.

The Heat were obscene and quietly gave away several big contracts.

In 7 years, 86 million dug up the Trail Blazers' backup power forward Brian Grant, although the price is a garbage contract at first glance, but the improvement of the Heat's interior strength is obvious.

Mashburn was also traded back for Anthony Mason Jr. to further strengthen the interior depth.

In order to strengthen the forward line, Pat Leigh used a one-year 4 million dollar knife from the Mavericks to poach Cedric Cebaraz, who averaged 16 points per game last season......

Pat Riley has built a $73 million squad and vowed to compete with his old club.

As a result, Mourning suddenly fell ill......
