The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 5 The Uninvited Guest

Palo Alto, San Francisco, is like spring all the year round, full of green trees.

Palo Alto, known as the center of the universe, is located in the San Francisco Bay Area and belongs to Santa Clara County. It is one of the core cities of Silicon Valley.

With the development of Silicon Valley, more and more rich people in Silicon Valley have chosen Palo Alto as the first choice for buying a house, so that the housing prices here have soared, making it one of the five most expensive cities in the United States.

"Jingle Bell……"

A sudden ringing of the bell woke up the sleeping Li Pu.

Glancing at the alarm clock, it's 6:00.

In Palo Alto in May, the sky is already slightly bright at this time.

Li Pu lifted the blanket covering his stomach and was about to get up, when he suddenly felt a pain in his back.

It wasn't what Li Pu went through last night, or that he had reached the point where he needed to take Liuwei Dihuang Wan, but that the two-meter-long bed couldn't fit him at all.

Throughout the night, his lower legs were suspended below the knee.

Li Pu secretly swore that when he had money, he would definitely buy a big bed measuring three meters by three meters, and roll around on the bed at that time.

"Prince, wake up!"

Lin Shuhao's voice came from outside the house.

"What do you need to say? I can't lose to you in terms of hard work!" Li Pu replied, then got up and began to get dressed.

Two days have passed since the Rookie Training Camp Challenge.

Li Pu's agent really kept his promise. On the second day after the training camp ended, he found Li Pu with the termination contract. After signing the contract, he mercilessly kicked Li Pu out of the hotel. , because the hotel room fee was also paid by the broker.

Although Li Pu is a professional player, it is Rwanda's league after all, so it sounds like there is no money.

Therefore, from the moment Li Pu stepped on the plane to the United States, it was Li Pu's agent who was spending money.

Of course, this is not because he is kind, but this is the practice in the industry. There is a professional term called publicity expenses, which includes these.

Their current investment in advance will earn back doubled from the players in the future.

Although Li Pu's agent is a big company like CAA, but he can go to Rwanda, Africa to scout players, obviously he is not a big agent, and he is short of money.

When Li Pu was recruited back then, the greetings and kindness were enough to move anyone.

But when Li Pu was hopeless in the draft, he immediately changed his face. When driving Li Pu away, it was as if he was throwing away a piece of garbage without showing any sympathy.

Looking back now, this manager was really short-sighted, stingy and incompetent.

If Li Pu is placed in the hands of the famous agent Jeff Schwartz, he will start at the second place. You know, the stars under him are Bennett and Wiseman.

With Li Pu's talent, why isn't he better than these two?
If it weren't for Schwartz's god-level operation, building momentum in the early stage, covering the market in the middle stage, and betting on the game in the later stage, plus God's blessing, do you really think that Wiseman, a "big smart", can fool the wily Warriors uniform team?

No one really thinks that just by being polite in the interview, you can be selected with the second pick, right?
No way?No way?
In short, due to the short-sightedness of Li Pu as an agent, it may be that he has no funds and patience, or he believes too much in Li Pu's strength, so he did not arrange for Li Pu to go to college. He first trained in the NCAA for one to two years before participating in the NBA draft. , This regular line, but counterproductive, directly promoted the joint training camp.

Originally hoped that Li Pu's strong talent would be enough to impress the top executives in the NBA. Unfortunately, when he encountered Li Pu's time travel, he did not adapt to his body, completely exposed his weaknesses, and the draft market dropped to freezing point.

Poor Li Pu, a time traveler, turned into a homeless person on the second day after time travel. It's really embarrassing to the time traveler.

Fortunately, there is Lin Shuhao, thanks to him who brought him home, Li Pu has not been reduced to the streets like drug addicts and homeless people, and has become a beautiful landscape in Chicago.

Yawning, Li Pu got dressed and walked out of the bedroom.

"Ouch!"

As a result, when he went out, his head hit the door frame again.

In the past few days, Li Pu's head has been tortured, either hitting the door frame or hitting the ceiling. With his huge height, in his daily life, he seems to be in a small country, which is really inconvenient.

"Hurry up and wash up!"

Leaving out of the bedroom, Li Pu happened to run into Lin Shuhao who had finished washing.

It can only be said that in some respects, the group of men is really very fast!

"Got it! More verbose than my mother!"

"Aren't you awake yet? How can you have a mother?"

"..."

If it wasn't for living under the fence, Li Pu really wanted to beat him to death!
Bending down to the bedroom, he randomly picked up the toothbrush on the table. A normal-sized toothbrush was placed in Li Pu's hand, like a toothpick, so that when he squeezed the toothpaste, he had to be careful, for fear of being stuck.

After washing up, it took only ten minutes for the two of them to pack up and prepare to go out.

Not long after, a second-hand gray Chevrolet drove out of Lin Shuhao's garage and merged into the busy street.

More than ten minutes later, the two arrived at their destination, Palo Alto High School.

Although Lin Shuhao has graduated from high school for a long time, as the best player of Palo Alto High School, Lin Shuhao is like coming home here.

"Thank you, Paul!" Lin Shuhao thanked the security guard who opened the door for him.

"You're welcome, Jeremy, do your best. I'm waiting for you to enter the NBA. When the time comes, I'll take the whole family to Oracle Arena to cheer for you!" The security uncle laughed.

Li Pu saw all this in his eyes, and this was not the first time he felt Lin Shuhao's special treatment in Palo Alto High School.

It's no wonder that although there are many rich people in Palo Alto High School, there are very few local stars.

Although Lin Shuhao will become an undrafted pick in the future, no NBA team wants him at all, but in his hometown Palo Alto, he is a well-known star.

In high school, Lin Shuhao led Palo Alto High School to a record of 32 wins and 1 loss as the captain.

He directly entered himself into the team history of Palo Alto High School.

Soon, the two were in the locker room and changed their jerseys.

The jersey Li Pu wore was the one he wore in the training camp.

There is no way, because Li Pu's pockets are cleaner than his face, and because of his height of 220cm, it is difficult to buy clothes that fit him in the store.

Generally need to order.

Therefore, he can only wear clothes that his agent bought for him before.

Fortunately, the manager didn't take off Li Pu's clothes, so that Li Pu didn't have to play naked.

"Okay, let's get started!"

In order to fulfill the agreement with Presti, Li Pu, who was born in Yeluzi, needs to learn the basics of basketball from scratch.

Because he couldn't afford professional trainers, Li Pu could only slowly learn the basic skills of these professional players under the guidance of Lin Shuhao.

However, to Lin Shuhao's surprise, Li Pu's learning speed was very fast.

From dribbling, footwork to defensive posture, Li Pu almost only needs to look at it once, and he can make it accurately.

Not to mention Lin Shuhao was surprised by this, even Li Pu himself was equally surprised.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand why. He could only attribute it to the fact that his body should have muscle memory.

It can only be said that if you are talented, you can really do whatever you want!
"The ball just now, when shooting the ball, the position is too low, just put it on the waist!"

"Pay attention to the strength of the lower body when shooting, and the strength of the upper body and the lower body should not be disconnected!"

"Steps, watch your steps!"

It has to be said that the gap between professional players and amateur players is indeed huge, especially the various details in the game, which opened Li Pu's eyes.

Under Lin Shuhao's explanation, Li Pu understood that there are countless details to pay attention to in various aspects such as holding the ball, dribbling, positioning, and shooting.

How did the former Li Pu know these details?

Ordinary people play, as long as you shoot accurately, you are the king of the field!

"Are you going to be a point guard? A PG with a height of over 220cm is indeed a good idea!"

Just as the two were concentrating on training, a joking voice suddenly came from the door.
