Li Ao asked Schwartz to investigate his new teammates, and he felt that this was a good deal!

Lafonso Ellis, a short power forward, 203 cm, 110 kilograms, had 14 points and 9 rebounds in his rookie year, and received a contract equivalent to Pippen after his rookie season.

At his peak, he played an average of 21 points, 7 boards and 2.4 assists per game, although the peak came and went quickly, as soon as the age of twenty-six or seventeen years passed, after the decline in athleticism, the strength declined rapidly, and the style of play was still the core scorer, which was disliked by the old club Nuggets, and was laid off after the NBA was suspended.

However, the veteran is smarter than most black players, he doesn't think it's just bad luck, he doesn't stubbornly feel that he is still who he used to be, and he doesn't give up on himself, and when he doesn't play in the shrinking season, he works his skills and defense.

After getting a contract from the Hawks at the end of the shrinking season and re-playing, he showed a mid-range shot that he had not had in the first 6 years of his career, although it was not good, but he could shoot, and he used to be a defensive black hole, he began to defend actively, and his performance got better and better, and in the summer of 2000, he got a three-year, 9.66 million US dollar full mid-range from the Timberwolves.

He played as a substitute for Garnett last season, averaging 9.6 points and 6 rebounds per game, a career-high defensive efficiency, and only allowing opponents to score 102 points per 100 possessions, which is a very good defensive performance as a substitute for a team with a weak defense.

Although he is a little sorry for his old teammates, Li Ao is very glad that Kenyon Doolin's lotto ticket is still sold, and he didn't get a chance in his rookie season, and he can still have a good trade value.

Brian Skinner, this teammate is very reluctant to leave Li Ao, he just arrived at the Clippers, he admires this diligent blue-collar inside, in the chaotic fish belly team, the style of play is still positive, training hard, as a rookie in the class of 98, the age is only 24 years old, there is still some potential to be tapped, there is the possibility of becoming the main bench.

Now go and be teammates with Garnett...... Li Ao hopes that his old teammates will be strong!

…

Two days later, on September 3, Steve Kerr came to Li Ao's house and was instructed by the team to guide Li Ao in three-point training.

Kobe Bryant saw another famous player from Li Ao's family, who was also an idol's teammate.

He took the rare initiative to say hello to Steve Cole's flattery.

Looking at the luxurious coaching combination of James Worthy, Skywalker, and Steve Kerr, Kobe Bryant has no feeling of envy at all, as long as God doesn't come.

When he first entered the NBA, the treatment arranged for him by the logo man was even more exaggerated than that.

It was Elvin Johnson who taught him how to pass the ball to the center.

It was Michael Cooper who taught him to defend.

It was also James Worthy who taught him to attack the frame.

It was Eddie Jones who taught him to break through.

It was Byron Scott who taught him to shoot.

If you don't consider personal emotions, Li Ao's sparring team plus God, Kobe Bryant will not envy.

After the pleasantries, Steve Cole was very active in guiding the work.

He knew that the Clippers weren't interested in his ability on the court.

Just look at ability, now he has a base salary that is enough, he averaged 3.3 points per game last season, and the number of appearances was a new high since joining the Spurs, playing 51 games.

In the three years that the Spurs signed him back, he was never the main team, often did not have the opportunity to play, and he could play thirty or fifty games a year.

But after letting Li Ao show off his catch-and-shoot drills, three-point and mid-range shooting basics, Steve Kerr was embarrassed.

What are the Clippers looking for him for? Shouting Spider-Man 666?

Steve Cole hesitated for a moment and asked, "Leo, who did you learn your shooting from?" The foundation is so solid. ”

Li Ao was puzzled for a moment and responded: "My college coach, named Xavier Johnson, is also working part-time on our team now, responsible for my personal shooting training. ”

"That top shooting coach in the Division I league, no wonder...... I'm sorry, Leo, I really don't have much to teach you, your three-point and mid-range shooting training is already perfect, it's very suitable for your shooting movements and shooting habits, you just need to work hard to get better at shooting. ”

"I know."

“……”

Steve Cole's fists are tight – Michael Jordan! Get out!

This old bastard, old liar!

What is the difference between Spider-Man and the rumored ones is actually a sunny and cheerful boy with a gentle personality and understanding, and his violent appearance is just his defensive color.

Defend yourself uncle!

Half an hour after coming here, his fists tightened for 15 minutes!

Li Ao is also a little confused now, when he heard Gentry say that Steve Kerr was signed to guide him to three points, he didn't think too much, and he felt happy, this is the No. 1 three-point player in NBA history.

But now that I think about it, the team paid Xavier Johnson, Steve Kerr is very good at three points, and he must be strong in training, but the ability to guide training is better than a top shooting coach in the NCAA?

Suddenly, Li Ao had a flash of inspiration, hammered his right hand in the palm of his left hand, and said: "I know, what Alvin means, it should be for you to guide me in actual shooting skills, you have played hundreds of regular season games and more than 100 playoffs, you have rich experience, your experience is exactly what I need!" ”

Steve Cole, who was scolding the former boss in his heart, suddenly realized: "That's right, it must be so, I asked him what I need to teach you, and he said I'll just serve, and I said how is this possible." ”

The two did not doubt him and began to discuss how to practice.

After summing it up, the two decided to strengthen the defense of running and receiving the ball first, and there was no need to add new training items or take up the time of other training items, and they adjusted the existing training, which can be regarded as the basic skills of shooting and shooting in the middle of the running position.

Thinking back to Li Ao's run-and-catch mid-range shooting training just now, and then recalling the picture of playing against the Clippers last season, Steve Kerr put himself in it, thinking about what kind of defense Li Ao will encounter in regular games, and how to prepare for contingency moves in advance when running......

One has strong catching and shooting ability in actual combat, and the other is studious and talented, and the two quickly completed the run-in, and began to adjust the training method of running and receiving the ball on the same day.

A few days later, Gentry came to visit Li Ao at his house, and by the way, he observed how Li Ao had progressed in the past few months.

Seeing that Li Ao was learning from Steve Cole, a question mark appeared on Gentry's head.

Let Steve Kerr serve, actually coach, don't teach the training methods taught by other professional shooting coaches!

Gentry watched the training for a while, and his eyes lit up.

Steve Kerr doesn't seem to be changing Li Ao's catch-and-shoot movements, power methods, etc., but is simulating the game environment and teaching actual catch-and-shoot skills?

That's right! This veteran, in addition to serving, can also teach this!

…

Time flashed to September 11th, two planes crashed into the Big Apple Twin Towers, and one plane crashed into the Pentagon, causing panic in the entire Eagle Sauce family, and the already crumbling stock market suffered another sell-off, and overnight, the U.S. stock market evaporated a trillion dollars in market value.

This is ...... for Li Ao's family It also had an effect, and Vivien felt that she was not safe anywhere, and was ready to buy the surrounding land and turn the underground storage room in the backyard into a shelter.

Li Ao chose to meet the request of the assistant aunt, this is not a difficult thing, making money, isn't it just for the happiness of the people in the family.

Li Ao's mother now understands the reaction of the Americans, after all, she lives in a country where she doesn't dare to go out at night, and she also feels that shelters are necessary.

The Eagle Sauce family entered a wartime state, the general public panicked, and the Clippers were on their side...... Still do what you have to do.

They are carrying out the reinforcement plan step by step.

On September 13, Li Ao received news that their team had signed a coaching staff adviser in charge of tactical guidance - Doug Collins.

Also called Corinth, Li Ao's first reaction was to reply, "Jeron's relatives?" He can go through the back door even if he is a rookie? Wally Walker, who called him, was speechless for a while, asked him to check the information himself, and then hung up the phone.

Li Ao was really curious, and asked Schwartz to get the information of the new consultant.

This suspected of going through the back door was actually the champion who was selected by the 76ers in 1973!

Top guard swingman, 8-year career, 3 All-Star selections, one of which was an All-Star starter, at the peak of 24 to 28 years old, averaged 19 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game in 5 seasons.

In the 1976-1977 season, he led the team to the finals, but unfortunately lost to Bill Wharton, who was in his prime, and lost the championship.

At the age of 29, he suffered a serious injury of Achilles tendon rupture, and after returning at the age of 30, he played 12 games, and after finding that he had lost his dominance on the court, he chose to retire bravely, leaving an excellent career statistic of 17.9 points per game in the regular season and 21.5 points per game in the playoffs.

After retiring as a head coach of the Bulls, he switched to the Pistons in the mid-90s, and was elected as the head coach of the Eastern All-Star in the 96-97 season.

Later in the years. T took up his position as a commentator and game analyst.

Quite a rich and very good resume, it doesn't look like a relative of the twin Kolis.

But...... This Collins actually has a twin brother, who also works in basketball in Los Angeles, but has no professional basketball experience, a college coach, and is currently the head coach of Inglewood High School, which has produced many NBA players, and the most famous player is currently called Paul Pearce.

The surname Corinthians is rich in twins?

Li Ao also noticed an interesting detail - when Doug Collins was fired by the Pistons in the 97-98 season, the assistant coach who took over his team was none other than their Clippers head coach Alvin Gentry.

It's really hard to say what happens in this life.

The team has brought in an experienced coaching staff consultant, and Li Ao has more expectations for the coaching staff's business ability.

However, this matter did not affect him for the time being, and when his curiosity was over, he put it aside and concentrated on training.

At the beginning of the month, the basic skills of the mid-range shooting had reached 89, and there was not much time left in the offseason, so he had to hurry up and sprint!

The time came on September 20th, Li Ao got up at 6 o'clock in the morning, finished the morning exercise at 7 o'clock, took a shower, watched the news, helped the mother who prepared breakfast at half past 7 o'clock, and after preparing the food, he woke up the assistant aunt to eat breakfast, chatted together at half past 8 o'clock, and when it was close to 9 o'clock, Kobe Bryant came and went to train together.

Today's training went very smoothly, the basic shooting skill practiced this morning is three points, and at the end of the morning training, the system settled the 100% additional bonus of the experience bracelet, the 20% additional bonus of Thompson's three-point action package, the 60% additional bonus of the level 3 training method, and the 40% additional bonus of the level 2 training task, and the three-point evaluation was increased to 78!

He is very happy and he is now confident that he will improve his three-point range to over 80 in the new season and become an excellent three-point shooter!

If it is a catch-and-shoot shot, after his basic three-point score reaches an excellent level, he can rely on the full-level 'catch-and-shoot expert' to rise to first-class performance!

After calming down, Li Ao was ready to call Kobe Bryant to eat a nutritious meal together.

The trainers don't eat nutritious meals, and the Clippers ordered meals at a restaurant near his home.

At this moment, Vivien rushed into the training ground with a 7-month-old belly.

Li Ao hurriedly went up to help the aunt stand up, and he couldn't help but complain: "What are you doing running so fast, don't you know that your belly is so big?" What if you fall, it will hurt! ”

Vivien stuck out her tongue and begged for mercy.

Her Leo was worried about her falling pain, and of course her stomach, but first of all, she was worried about her falling pain!

After being happy for a while, Vivien suddenly remembered the purpose of her running over, and hurriedly said, "Leo! Something is wrong! ”

Li Ao was puzzled: "What's the big deal?" Los Angeles was also bombed? ”

Kobe, who was about to finish the last set of three-pointers, and the trainers had already focused their eyes.

"What Los Angeles was bombed, so there was no ...... Oh no, there were no terrorist attacks, I didn't worry about it anymore...... Wait, and you almost made me forget about the big thing.

Stand firm and don't be so surprised that you faint.

The head coach called me and asked me to tell you that Jordan is back! Signed with our team! ”

Li ao:(⊙_⊙)

Σ(☉▽☉“a

Σ(っ°Д°; )っ

Li Ao's expression changed rapidly, and he was shocked by the news, but he was immediately ecstatic!

No, wait, don't make a mistake, what if you just sign a player with the same name and surname?

Not only him, but James Worthy, Skywalker, Kerr and others were also shocked, and couldn't help but spew out the mantra, and Kobe Bryant was so shocked that the ball in his hand fell.

They also wanted to ask, but Li Ao's mobile phone on the sidelines rang, attracting everyone's attention.

Under the gaze of others, Li Ao walked over and picked up his mobile phone, and when Gentry called, his heart beat faster.

Sensing the other people's gazes, he answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone.

"Leo! Receive our surprise for you! Hahaha, the god of basketball has joined us! ”

Ask for a commuter pass!
