From sparring to superstar

Chapter 201 199. The Collapsed Dayao

"Congratulations, the power of the host has increased from 89 to 90, and has reached the top level."

"Congratulations to the host's explosive power increased from 90 to 91."

The time came to July 7th, Li Ao's strength training in the afternoon ended, and the system prompt came!

After 7 weeks of hard work, I finally raised my strength to the top level!

He came to the bathroom, took off the 'macho pressure suit', and looked at himself in the mirror.

Compared with the 7-93 kg in the summer league in July last year, the muscle circumference is obviously much larger, but the overall shape is very well-proportioned, and the muscle lines are smooth... Lightweight, breathable and perspiration-wicking, macho pressure clothing, you deserve it!

"Name: Li Ao.

Age: 19 (August 1981, 8).

Height: 203 cm, arm span: 227 cm.

Weight: 104.6 kg.

Comprehensive evaluation: 81.

身体素质：速度92（爆发加速92），力量90（爆发力91），弹跳88（弹速93），柔韧性92，体力92……”

In the past 7 weeks, with the help of trainers and nutritionists, he has gained 10 pounds, and the effect of strength training has also been remarkable.

The biggest improvement is not static strength, but explosive power, from 89 to 91.

Explosive confrontation is finally stronger than static confrontation!
The starting point has also been increased to 92, and the bounce and speed have been increased by 1 point each.

But there are also some declines. The speed and flexibility have dropped a little bit with the increase in weight. This time, the weight increase of more than 4 kg has a greater impact on the evaluation of speed and flexibility than last summer's weight gain of 6 kg. But if you add it up, if you gain 10 kilograms, the speed is only reduced by a little bit, and the flexibility is reduced by 3 points, it is quite good.

The basic skills of basketball are also affected by weight gain and muscle gain. Fortunately, the basic skills are good enough and the impact is not too great. After the promotional activities are over, it is good to adapt again.

Li Ao read the evaluation of physical fitness again, he is also a man with proper physical fitness.

Now there is only jumping left, and he is not at the top. He is looking forward to a few tasks next season, get some basic attribute points or advanced attribute points, and improve the jumping.

He is still in the promotional activities. He just came to Shanghai, the last stop of this promotional event this morning. He will participate in the last promotional event for new sneakers tomorrow morning, and participate in the campus basketball promotion held by the local TV station in the afternoon.

Participate in the Spider-Man VS Shark event at Chaotingtai in the afternoon the day after tomorrow... Shark refers to the Oriental Shark Basketball Club in Shanghai.

When Li Ao first saw the name of this event, he complained wildly—Yang Ma with thick eyebrows and big eyes also made this kind of gimmick.

But he was looking forward to meeting that one.

...

The next morning, Li Ao successfully concluded this year's 4 domestic sneaker promotions.

At noon, Li Ao had lunch with Air-SpiderMan series project manager Billy Knight, agent Schwartz, domestic publicity director Xu Jicheng, domestic business director Tu Ziming and others to celebrate the successful completion of this promotional activity.

Tu Ziming is an employee of IMG Entertainment in the Asia-Pacific region. He is a native of Modu. In 1995, he participated in the work project of IMG and the Blue Association to establish A-A. In 1988, he participated in the founding of the college basketball league in Jiaopenji. The project he participated in was sponsorship. Proficient in Chinese, English, Japanese, and rich work experience, after Li Ao showed his business value, IMG Entertainment transferred this senior employee to Schwartz's working group to be responsible for Li Ao's business contacts in China.

Xu Jicheng also became a member of Li Ao's agent team and participated in Li Ao's domestic promotion.

After the All-Star Weekend, when Schwartz suggested that Li Ao sign Xu Jicheng, Li Ao was very surprised. The director of the sports propaganda department of Xinhua News Agency can do these private jobs?But he remembered that the future boss of the Blue Association seemed to have hinted at him, but he didn't notice what the other party meant at that time.

He also remembered that after the development of information and communication technology and the convenience of information dissemination in the future, he has seen many reporters and commentators in China become agents of CBA foreign aid. Member Yang Yi.

Taking the domestic sports environment as an example, language communication skills, social contacts, contacts...there is no one who is more suitable to be a sports agent than these people.

At the suggestion of Schwartz, Li Ao offered an olive branch to Xu Jicheng, and the other party immediately agreed.

Professional is professional. Tu Ziming and Xu Jicheng have done a very good job in connecting the sneaker promotion with other commercial activities, scheduling, publicity and promotion. Don’t worry about any problems. Just do what he should do. up.

The money is not wasted!

In China, Li Ao was finally able to have two drinks openly, but only two drinks, and he had to go to the local high school to participate in basketball promotion activities in the afternoon. He didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the children.

He is now participating in activities as a basketball player, and of course he wants to be a role model in this capacity.

Billy Knight drank a little too much. This time the work is over and he can take a short vacation.

Ratio-Nate sighed after drinking too much: "My manager sounds good, but in fact I am here to run errands. The design of sneakers is not my responsibility. I have no part in publicity and marketing, but I have to do everything... Fortunately, this The boss this time was Leo you, I am not afraid of your anger, I cried all night when I was transferred to Ni's work group, I finally escaped from Garnett's work group, and came to you again... But I didn't expect you It's completely different from what I imagined, much easier to serve than him, I have nothing to say about how friendly he is to fans, a model idol, but to us staff, he doesn't treat us as human beings at all..."

Li Ao knew that the position of project manager was not easy to do. Billy Knight drank a lot of bitter water, so he didn't say anything, otherwise the other party might cry all night...

He had heard that Garnett liked to play big names, but he didn't expect that the wolf king could make the project manager, a big man, cry himself to sleep every night, it was really... amazing!
In the afternoon, Li Ao skillfully completed the campus basketball promotion activities of the local TV station. There were similar activities at each station before. The first time was very nervous, but after two more times, he became familiar with it.

Another day passed, and on the morning of the 19th, Li Ao came to the Luwan Gymnasium, the home court of the Shark Club.

The posters of "Spiderman VS Shark" have been plastered all over the perimeter of the stadium, and his standing signs are everywhere.

The driver drove into the underground parking lot, where a tall man was already waiting.

Seeing Li Ao getting off the car, Yao Ming took the initiative to greet him, but before he could introduce himself, the other party spoke first.

"Wow! You're taller than I thought!"

Yao Ming looked at the NBA rookie king who was looking up in amazement, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Or introduce yourself!
"Hello, Spider-Man, I'm..."

"I know, you are the little giant Yao Ming!"

little Giant?Yao Ming thought it was a good nickname, but he responded honestly: "My nickname is not Little Giant."

"That's the Mobile Great Wall!"

Yao Ming was also envious of this nickname, but he still replied honestly: "No, the Mobile Great Wall is Battelle."

Li Ao stared at Yao Ming: ()
Just when Yao Ming felt that his vest was itching, the other party finally spoke again.

Li Ao asked: "Neither is Little Giant, nor is the Moving Great Wall. Could it be that you are called Big Bamboo Pole?"

Yao Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and replied, "Yes, people have called me Big Bamboo Pole and Telephone Pole since I was a child, but you are also tall, so you should be the same, right?"

Li Ao decisively denied: "No, no, I have developed rapidly in the past three or four years, and I have grown so tall. I was only a little taller than most people before."

Yao Ming was speechless.

There is no need to deny this kind of insignificant matter!
It seems that his telegraph pole is very dull!
But Yao Ming suddenly found that the nervousness, anticipation, and uneasiness he felt before meeting Li Ao, and the awkwardness he felt when he first met Li Ao, were all gone.

When he asked Wang Zhizhi what kind of person Li Ao was, his senior told him that Spiderman is easy to get along with, but it makes people crazy.

He was very confused before, how can a person be easy to get along with and make people crazy, now he understands.

This is a social terror with a full level of familiarity!
No, here it is again, he is speechless and doesn't know what to say, but Spider-Man is not embarrassed, he asks questions proactively, he has to think about what to say at the beginning, and then he doesn't care if it's the first meeting or not, how to answer How to answer, completely lost the strangeness of meeting for the first time.

While chatting, Yao Ming took Li Ao around the arena and visited the venue where the event will be held in the afternoon.

Seeing that Li Ao attracted crowds of spectators wherever he went, Yao Ming was very envious. He has been playing here for so long, and the staff in the arena have never been so excited.

Tired of shopping, the two sat down by the court to rest for a while.

Li Ao suddenly thought of something and said, "Dayao, get up and open your hands!"

Yao Ming stood up and asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"

"Let's compare arm length!"

Yao Ming was even more confused, but seeing Li Ao's expectant face, he opened his arms.

"Stand straight!"

Yao Ming did as he did, stood at attention, straightened his arms, and saw Li Ao open his arms too... His eyes widened!

"Jie jie jie jie jie... I won!"

Yao Ming was dumbfounded, looking at his own arms, and then at Li Ao who was so excited that he jumped up and threw his fists to celebrate... It really is Spider-Man!

At two meters and two meters, his wingspan is actually shorter than this guy in his early two meters!

And it's obviously short, it must be several centimeters!

A man's pleasure is always simple, but the reverse is also true.

At this moment, Yao Ming's heart was broken!

...

Yao Ming was in a daze all morning, and Li Ao invited him to lunch at noon, but he also lost his appetite.

Yao Ming had suffered a heavy blow ahead of time before he had fought Spider-Man on the court.

And he will never be able to turn defeat into victory in this matter!

Finally, at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, after the filming of the imperial TV station started, Yao Ming finally cheered up and was about to go on TV!
The event went well, mostly interviews.

The "confrontation" between Li Ao and Yao Ming was just a comparison of shooting, passing, dunking and shooting some material.

The people at the imperial court knew the strength of the domestic and foreign lines, so they called Hu Weidong from the national team, and they could compete with Li Ao, but the Sharks' outside line, they were worried that it would become Li Ao's stealing show.

After the two-hour event ended, Li Ao followed Yao Ming to the lounge. The two-week business event was finally over, and he completely relaxed and slumped on the sofa.

Yao Ming looked at Li Ao sitting without a face, it was really... so comfortable, he also collapsed down.

Li Ao rested for a while and asked, "Dayao, you will definitely enter the NBA next year, right?"

Yao Ming replied without hesitation: "Yes, I will play for another year, and if I win the championship, I will go to the NBA. I will definitely be selected."

"That's for sure, Chandler has already entered the NBA, and your pick must be higher than him."

Yao Ming, who was so confident just now, was stunned for a moment.

He felt that his confidence in being able to enter the NBA was because Chandler was right, but he was the second pick!Higher than the No. [-] show?

Back then, he participated in Hook’s peak training camp for high school students. In the training game, he met Chandler, the sixth five-star high school student in the United States. up.

The scene was extremely tragic. In the first half, Chandler played 15 minutes, only got 3 rebounds, was blocked 5 times, and was dunked 8 times...

Since then, whether he participated in international competitions or club competitions, NBA scouts often came to watch.

But he was more surprised. He asked, "You think so highly of me?"

"Of course, the movement ability you showed just now, there is no player over 220 centimeters better than you, Sabonis has none, let alone players over 220 centimeters, there are not many players over 215 centimeters in NBA. Come on, you can't use O'Neill as a reference..."

Yao Ming really wanted to say "I didn't compare O'Neal, I'm not stupid", but he didn't.

Li Ao continued: "Your shooting is also very good, and your dribbling and turning movements are better than many insiders in the NBA. Unless the owner of the team that gets the No. I think that old man from the Grizzlies will trade you for the No. [-] pick."

Hearing Li Ao's words, Yao Ming became more confident, and he began to look forward to next year's draft.

But even if it is true that Li Ao said that he can become the No. [-] pick this year, he does not regret not participating in the election.

In this year's CBA finals, although he won the FMVP, he lost to Wang Zhizhi again. He wants to win the CBA championship, otherwise he will always have a knot in his heart.

After resting for a while, Yao Ming sent Li Ao to the airport. Li Ao hadn't seen his auntie and parents for a long time. After work, he couldn't wait to fly back to the imperial capital.

He will stay in China for a while longer, and will go to Los Angeles after his 20th birthday.

Every day he had a phone call with the auntie of the hospital assistant, and when he learned about his mother's embarrassment after returning home, he was speechless and somewhat complacent.

My mother edited many copies of all the photos taken in the United States, and gave a copy to relatives and friends, showing off her family's success, both openly and secretly.

He doesn't know what other people think, but in his world view, he feels that his parents are proud of him and use him as a capital to show off. He feels that this is something he is very proud of.

But as soon as he returned to his small courtyard after 9 o'clock in the evening, he was dumbfounded.

His auntie, who came to the emperor for two weeks, became a big girl in the Northeast?Floral white shirt, embroidered shoes, two twisted braids... a little rusty, but very nice!
