The Clippers' training camp unfolded in an orderly manner.

Once born and twice matured, Li Ao is not curious about everything in this year's training camp like last year, focusing on what he should do.

Familiar with the running line after Jordan and Bibby, help teammates who are not good in tactical understanding to understand tactics, and observe teammates' running habits, passing and receiving habits, and shooting habits...... There is also the practice of Gerald Wallace's scoring ability.

Gerard Wallace was surprised when he was pulled by Lee Ao to practice cutting into the frame after the team's practice.

He asked curiously, "Boss, isn't my position a defensive guard on the bench?" Michael also said that I was as strong as Oakley, and asked me to watch more of Oakley's videos. ”

"You can't give up on yourself just because you look like Oakley......"

Gerald Wallace: (▼Dish▼#)

If he hadn't been hammered on the floor in February last year, he would have jumped up and hit someone!

After training together 19 times last season, he already has the ability to resist and endure it.

"There's nothing wrong with learning from his defense, your defensive talent is good, but your offensive talent is also very good, it's a waste not to develop the offense, do you really want to be the next Oakley? Do you have him to fight? ”

"There's nothing wrong with being Oakley, his style of play can be played for more than ten years and he has earned 50 million! I can't fight a fight, I just don't fight, I can pretend to be fierce, I still look as fierce as Oakley. ”

Li Ao: ()

This junior, his mind is full of only thinking about making money, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with wanting to make money, but he thinks that Gerard Wallace's thinking is just wrong.

A player's name flashed through his mind, and there it is!

"Ever heard of Brian Grant?"

Gerard Wallace responded: "I know Shelby also prepared Grant's defensive highlights for me to learn. ”

"Grant and Oakley are both fierce defensive players, but he has more shots and pick-and-rolls than Oakley, and he will earn 100 million in 12 years after his current contract is completed."

Gerard Wallace: (⊙_⊙)

!!! ∑(Дノ)ノ

"Boss! I'm going to learn to attack! Teach me! ”

"It's good to learn if you want to, but I can't teach you."

"Why?"

"I don't have as many rim skills as you, you go to Lafonso to learn, he's good at that."

Li Ao did not hesitate to admit that his frame-attacking skills were not as rich as a rookie, and the rookie Benniao Wallace was stunned for a moment.

In Gerard Wallace's mind, Li Ao is a high-ranking existence in the basketball industry, and Henry Bibby often uses Li Ao to motivate him, and the way to motivate him is ...... It mainly means that after Li Ao was selected by the NBA, he got 10 million US dollars for endorsements before he played in the summer league, and after entering the NBA, he got hundreds of millions of endorsement fees as a rookie......

He doesn't have a love for basketball, it's just his best sport, and he doesn't have any admiration for basketball stars.

He grew up in a chaotic and impoverished town, dreaming of becoming a police officer, an FBI agent, and protecting himself and his mother.

Playing basketball is purely to make money, and his mother's education is positive and strict, so he treats his studies and work hard and earnestly.

But when Li Ao said, 'I'm not as good as a rookie,' he struck Gerard Wallace's heart.

This is an example for him to follow!

Some people like basketball first, and then they like so-and-so players.

There are also people who like a certain player first, either because of their achievements, or because of their screen image, or because of their personality and style of doing things...... And then I fell in love with basketball.

Gerard Wallace now only feels that he wants to use Li Ao as a role model, learn from Li Ao's humble and hard-working attitude in his work, and also develop more interest in basketball.

He had read a legend reported by the Sports Illustrated, that when Li Ao was a freshman, he fought 100 times a year, and he started from a dozen to seven, and he had nowhere to vent his energy, and he took pleasure in beating those campus gangsters and street ruffians, which was called 'enforcing justice'.

USC was about to expel Li Ao, but Trojan champion coach Henry Bibby rescued Li Ao and brought him to the Trojans, allowing him to vent his energy in the game, and finally gave birth to the 'Trojan Legendary Talent' that shook the whole United States.

This legendary experience has also made Li Ao countless fans.

Gerald Wallace is curious, does basketball really have such magic?

After he came back to his senses, he quickly shook his head to eliminate distractions, it was working time.

He asked, "No one is better than the god of basketball, right?" Why don't you learn from him? ”

Li Ao's eyes rolled around and said, "Okay, I'll take you to him to learn." ”

After speaking, Li Ao walked towards Jordan.

Gerard Wallace is excited to keep up with the possibility of learning from the basketball gods, that's cool!

Jordan heard Li Ao say that Gerald Wallace wanted to learn rim attack techniques with him, and he immediately became interested and could teach people to play! What a pleasure!

Jordan looked at Gerald Wallace again, a strong fit that he remembered as a rookie teammate who was fast and agile when he was in position.

It's a good seedling who can be taught!

In fact, no one told Gerald Wallace that 'you are only suitable to be a defensive striker', but the coaching staff assigned him a tactical role as a defender on the bench based on his current ability, and Jordan casually said 'you are as strong as my former teammate Oakley', and Shelby Jordan, who is responsible for coaching him, can only defend, so he is bent on becoming the next Oakley.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer...... No, it was a good learning attitude and a strong teaching enthusiasm, so Jordan immediately found a half to start teaching.

The next day, Gerard Wallace arrived at Memorial Stadium half an hour early and went straight to Lafonso Ellis to learn how to cut into the rim and not give Jordan a chance to catch him to learn......

Yesterday afternoon he was going to break down.

What does it mean to rush in and jump up, dodge the defense in one way or another, and put the ball in the hoop after the opponent has fallen and cannot interfere?

Boss, you pit me! I owe you to you as an example! Wait, it seems that I offered to learn from the god of basketball...... Vaco! I'll just say why the boss's eyes were so weird at that time!

…

A few days passed, and a new month arrived.

On October 1st, Media Day arrived, and a large number of media reporters poured into the Memorial Stadium.

The Clippers' new players were shocked by the number of media players, and they couldn't squeeze their size into a training arena, but fortunately Wally Walker was prepared and rented several adjacent practice courts for diversion.

Every Clippers player is surrounded by multiple cameras and reporters, including two rookies Gerald Wallace and Jeron Collins, all of whom enjoy superstar-level media treatment.

Of course, most of the questions asked are related to Li Ao and Jordan.

In this training camp, the Clippers players were already very excited.

Last season's 51 wins, this season has been strengthened, and they have higher expectations.

The one that excites them the most is the man – Michael Jordan.

In the past few days, they have been amazed - worthy of the gods of basketball!

It's been 3 years since he retired, and at the age of 38, Jordan still has such a strong strength!

The young players of the Clippers have been holding back for days, trying to complain about Jordan.

In the past few days, it's too funny for Jordan to come out at this age to get the top salary, Ballmer should sell your software, you can kill me if you think too much money, the Clippers who set sail are about to hit the iceberg, Stockton and Malone finally have a chance to abuse Jordan...... Such rhetoric continues.

At the beginning, Jordan won as many black fans as he defeated as many people, and now the 'backlash' is coming.

Jordan didn't bother to respond with words, but the young players of the Clippers weren't happy anymore, and now they finally have a chance, and they are spraying!

Big Q, a Chicagoan, has the loudest voice.

"Malone? Let him wash his neck and wait! He faced God, and there was only one result - to lose!

The boss is right, Malone should retire to become a postman, in the postman class, he has more endurance than others, and may become a champion. ”

"O'Neal, hahahaha, the center who was swept by the big dream, are you embarrassed to take it out? He took advantage of Michael's lack of preparation and stole a series victory, and Michael swept him the following year. ”

“……”

“……”

In this regard, Jordan was very useful, he didn't bother to respond, just to save face, and of course he was happy to have a few words of help from his teammates.

As for offending such and such a player...... He dares to make a comeback, are you still afraid of this?

There was only one person in the team who felt like he was spiraling into the sky again - O'Neal Jr.

Little O'Neal, who was in a sad mood, was suddenly stunned - why again?

Vaco! It's not enough for a Spider-Man to pull hatred, and here comes another basketball god!

…

After the media day, the Clippers continued to conduct tactical training and intra-team training games.

How arrogant the media day roared, how scared the Clippers players are now.

Especially the sentence that Big Q shouted out, 'It's just because there is no center now'...... It is foreseeable what will happen to them in the opener.

However, they still have confidence in the quality of their own team.

In point guard, Mike Bibby is more powerful than most of his teammates expected.

Previously, Mike Bibby had been described by the media as a data brush, and he was put together with Jamison, and he had a bad reputation.

But during the training camp, the teammates learned about Mike Bibby, which was completely different from what they remembered.

With good skills, a calm personality, and a hard-working man who doesn't talk much, even Spider-Man relies heavily on this new point guard, and when he encounters tactical problems, he always pulls Mike Bibby to discuss them.

Greg Anthony, a seasoned veteran.

Boykins, the fastest player on the team, is an excellent substitute striker and is one of the best in the league in advancing counter-attacks.

In terms of scoring guards, Li Ao, their boss.

Big Q, good three-pointers, fast counterattacks, tough defense and focus.

Piakowski, an excellent bench pitcher, excellent at mid to long distance.

Steve Cole, who has a lot of experience in the game, has provided a lot of training help to his teammates.

In terms of small forwards, Jordan, God, old and strong, has the best skills in the team, and the strongest in the team when his physical strength is good.

Matt Harplin, captain of the team, is a tough guy with two excellent points, strong running and brave attacking the frame.

Gerard Wallace, a strong and aggressive rookie.

Power forward, Odom, left-handed magician.

Lafonso Ellis, who defends well, has mid-range shots, and has top cutting skills in the frame.

In terms of center, O'Neal Jr. has a strong defense, better offensive skills, accurate mid-range shots, and a talent that is regrettable.

Sean Lukes, a seasoned and active veteran.

Jeron Collins, the treasure picked up in the second round, is a tough center like Matt Halprin, with solid defensive fundamentals, that is, excellent combat power.

I don't know if other teams mistakenly think that the Cardinals only have 1 center, after all, the two centers look exactly the same, so they left this out, and the performance in the training camp stage is already better than the veteran Sean Lukes, and O'Neal Jr.'s evaluation of him is stronger than Chris Meme in his rookie year.

This year's squad is so much better than last year, and they are more confident and at the same time, more pressure.

They think that the boss said a lot - it would be a shame for us to have a talent like us, if we didn't work hard enough to fulfill our talent, and the results were not as good as last season.

Plus the arrogant words they said in front of the cameras of hundreds of media outlets......

Train hard! Complete the run-in as soon as possible! Strive to get a good score!

Under the leadership of Li Ao, Jordan, and Matt Halprin, the progress of the Clippers' tactical training surprised Gentry.

With the two new starters, Mike Bie fit in as expected.

However, Jordan is even stronger than the speed with which he can integrate into the tactics.

The style of play of god-type players is very suitable for a wide range because they don't stick to the ball, and if you see them having a high ball possession rate, there is only one reason - there are countless singles.

They have a high ball possession rate not because they have to hold the ball to look for passing opportunities and wait for their teammates to run, but because they feel that they are opportunities when they hold the ball and go straight to it.

Divine players may not play the ball in the same way as traditional quarterbacks, but in terms of adaptability, they are really as versatile as the players who were only responsible for catching, shooting, and defending before the 80s.

A week passed in a flash, and on October 7, the training camp ended.

On the 8th, he had a day off, and on the 9th, Li Ao left Los Angeles with the team and flew to Sacramento to start the preseason tour.

After a night's rest, on the morning of Oct. 10, Li Ao woke up earlier than his teammates, and after breakfast, he went alone to the Sports View Boulevard, a 10-minute walk away, where the Kings' home arena, Arco Arena, is located.

After trotting all the way to the sports landscape avenue, Li Ao felt envious.

Is this the charm of the god of basketball?

It's just a preseason game, or an away game, and there are already a lot of fans wearing the No. 23 jersey of the Bulls on this road in the old town, which is paved with historic red tiles.

When he arrived at the Ako Arena, Li Ao changed into the training clothes that the team staff had prepared yesterday.

He opens the main interface of the system.

"Name: Li Ao.

Age: 20 years old (August 1, 1981).

Height: 203 cm, Arm Span: 227 cm.

Weight: 104.6 kg.

Overall rating: 83.

Physical fitness: speed 92 (burst acceleration 92), strength 90 (explosive power 91), bounce 88 (speed 93), flexibility 92, stamina 92......

Basic skills: 78 three-point shooting, 90 mid-range shooting, 91 layups, 80 hook hands, 76 ball control, 86 passing...... 89 in retreat, 92 in traverse, 91 in front of ...... Stride 79, turn 81, emergency stop 82, lean back 72, high back 78, turn over 74......

Technique: 80 hook hand, 85 catch-and-turn shots, 84 stop-and-catch jumpers, 79 high-back techniques, 71 turn-over jumpers, 71 step-back jumpers, 67 pull-up jumpers ......"

After an offseason of hard work, what he is good at has become better, the newly developed technology has also reached a fairly good level, the basic skills and application skills of back singles are close to excellent, and the newly developed breakthrough pull-up jump shot has also been successfully introduced under hard practice.

There are also breakthroughs in straight line ball holding and counterattacking with the ball that cannot be seen in the system evaluation, and there are also great improvements, with first-class passing ability and occasional control of the ball.

Although the offensive means are still very simple, the strength is strong enough.

Recalling the pomp and circumstance of the 38-year-old Jordan's comeback, he was full of yearning.

However, the longing for the scene needs to be down-to-earth step by step.

His goal now is to raise the overall evaluation to the top of the class!
