From sparring to superstar

Chapter 203 201.I'm back

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

Lafonso Ellis, a short power forward, 203 cm, 110 kg, had 14 points and 9 rebounds in his rookie year. After his rookie season, he got a contract comparable to Pippen.

He averaged 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game during his peak period. Although the peak period came and went quickly, once the age of 26 and seven years passed, after the decline in athletic ability, his strength declined rapidly. His style of play is still a core scorer His style of play was disliked by his old club Nuggets, and he was laid off after the NBA lockout.

However, this veteran player is smarter than most black players. He didn't stubbornly think that it was just bad luck, and he didn't stubbornly think that he was still the same as he used to be. He didn't give up on himself. defense.

At the end of the shrinking season, he got a contract from the Eagles. After reappearing in the game, he showed a mid-range shot that he didn’t have in the first 6 years of his career. Defensively, his performance is getting better and better. In the summer of 2000, he got a full mid-level salary of $3 million for three years from the Timberwolves.

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

Although I feel sorry for my old teammate, Li Ao is very fortunate that Kenyon Doolin's lottery ticket is still sold. If he didn't get a chance in his rookie season, he can still have a good trading value. If he doesn't have a chance in the second grade, he will probably die. in hand.

Brian Skinner, this teammate was very sad to leave Li Ao. When he first arrived at the Clippers, he admired this hard-working blue-collar insider. In a chaotic team that has been chaotic for many years, his style of play is still active and he trains hard. , as a rookie in the class of 98, he is only 24 years old, and he still has some potential to tap, and may become the main substitute.

Going to be teammates with Garnett now... Li Ao hopes that his old teammates will be strong!
...

Two days later, on September 9rd, Steve Kerr came to Li Ao's home to guide Li Ao in three-point training at the team's request.

Kobe saw that another famous player came to Li Ao's house, and he was still an idol's teammate.

Steve Kerr was flattered by his rare unsolicited greeting.

Looking at the luxurious guidance combination of James Worthy, Skywalker, and Steve Kerr, Kobe has no feeling of envy at all, as long as the gods don't come.

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

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

It was Michael Cooper who taught him defense.

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

It was Eddie Jones who taught him to break through.

It was Byron Scott who taught him the mid-range shot.

If personal feelings are not considered, Kobe would not be envious of Li Ao's training team and God.

After the pleasantries, Steve Kerr began to guide the work very actively.

He knows that what the Clippers are looking for is not his ability on the field.

Just looking at his ability, the basic salary is enough for him now. Last season, he averaged 3.3 points per game, and the number of games he played was a new high after joining the Spurs, playing 51 games.

In the three years since the Spurs signed him back, he has never been the main force and often has no chance to play. He can play [-] to [-] games a year. The purpose of signing him back is to provide three-point tactics and guide the team. Young pitchers training.

But after letting Li Ao show the basic skills of catch and shoot training, three-pointers and mid-range shooting, Steve Kerr was embarrassed.

What are the Clippers looking for him for?Shout out to Spider-Man 666?

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

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

"The top shooting coach in the first-level league, no wonder...I'm sorry, Leo, I really have nothing to teach you. Your three-point and mid-range shooting training has been perfected, which is very suitable for your shooting movements and shooting. Get used to it, you just have to work hard and your shots will get better."

"I know."

"..."

Steve Kerr's fist tight - Michael Jordan!get out!

The old bastard, the old liar!
What is the difference between Spider-Man and the rumors? In fact, he is a gentle, considerate, sunny and cheerful boy. The violent appearance is only his defensive color.

Guard against you uncle!

After coming here for half an hour, he clenched his fist for 15 minutes!

Li Ao is also a little confused now. When he heard Gentry say that he signed Steve Kerr to guide him in three-pointers, he didn't think too much about it, so he was happy. This is the top three-pointer in NBA history. separate.

But now that I think about it, the team spent money to hire Xavier Johnson, and Steve Kerr is very good in actual three-pointers. He must also be very strong in training, but his ability to guide training can be better than a top NCAA player. Shooting coach?

Suddenly, Li Ao had a flash of inspiration, hammered his right hand into the palm of his left hand, and said, "I see, what Alvin meant was to let you guide me in actual shooting skills. You have played hundreds of regular season games and more than 100 seasons. Playoffs, rich experience, your experience is exactly what I need!"

Steve Kerr, who was scolding the former boss in his heart, suddenly realized: "Yes, it must be so. I asked him what I need to teach you, and he said that I can just serve, and I said how is this possible."

The two of them had no doubt about him, and began to discuss how to practice.

After summing it up, the two decided to first strengthen the defense of running and catching the ball, without adding new training items or taking up the time of other training items, and adjusting the existing training, which can be regarded as practicing running and catching the ball Fundamentals of CIC and CIC.

Think back to Li Ao's running and catching mid-range shot training just now, and then recall the scene when he played against the Clippers last season. Steve Kerr put himself into it, thinking about how Li Ao will meet in regular games. What kind of defense, how to prepare contingency actions in advance when running...

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

A few days later, Gentry came to Li Ao's house to visit him and observe how Li Ao has progressed in the past few months.

Seeing Li Ao learning from Steve Kerr happily, a question mark appeared in Gentry's head.

Let Steve Kerr serve the ball, and he actually guided it, but don't ruin the training methods taught by other professional shooting coaches!

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

Steve Kerr doesn't seem to be changing Li Ao's catching and shooting movements, how to use force, etc., but is simulating the game environment and teaching actual catching and shooting skills?
Yes!This veteran, in addition to serving, can also teach this!
...

In a flash of time, on September 9th, two planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the Big Apple City, and one plane crashed into the Pentagon, causing panic in the entire Eagle Sauce family. The already shaky stock market suffered another wave of sell-offs. The stock market lost a trillion dollars in value.

This has an impact on Li Ao's family... Vivian feels that nowhere is safe, so she plans to buy the surrounding land and turn the underground storage room in the backyard into a shelter.

Li Ao chose to satisfy the auntie's request. This is not a difficult thing. Making money is for the happiness of the family.

Li Ao's mother can now understand the reaction of the Americans. After all, she lives in a country where she dare not go out at night, and she also feels that a shelter is necessary.

Yingjiang's family has entered a wartime state, and ordinary people panic, and the Clippers... still do whatever they want.

They are carrying out the signing plan step by step.

On September 9, Li Ao received news that their team had signed a coaching staff consultant in charge of tactical guidance-Doug Collins.

Also called Collins, Li Ao's first reaction was to reply, "Jieron's relative? Can he even go through the back door as a rookie?" Wally Walker, who called him to inform him, was speechless for a while, and asked him to check the information by himself, and then sent The phone hung up.

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

This suspected back door was actually the No. 1973 pick selected by the 76ers in [-]!

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

He once led the team to the finals in the 1976-1977 season, but it was a pity that they lost to Bill Walton, who was at his peak year, and lost the championship.

At the age of 29, he suffered a serious Achilles tendon rupture. After coming back at the age of 30, he played 12 games. After finding that he had lost his court dominance, he chose to retreat bravely, leaving behind an average of 17.9 points per game in the regular season and 21.5 points per game in the playoffs. excellent career stats.

After retiring, he became the head coach of the Bulls. In the mid-90s, he switched to the Pistons. He was elected as the Eastern All-Star head coach in the 96-97 season. Kehouse, the Pistons' defense collapsed directly, their record collapsed, and Doug Collins stepped down.

In the following years, he worked in TNT as a commentator and game analyst.

Quite a rich and very good resume, it seems that they are not relatives of the twins, Collis.

But... this Collins actually has a twin brother who is also engaged in basketball in Los Angeles, but has no professional basketball experience. He is an academic coach and currently serves as the head coach at Inglewood High School. That high school has produced many NBA players and is currently the most famous. The player named Paul Pierce.

The surname Collins 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 replaced him was the head coach of the Clippers, Alvin Gentry.

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

The team has introduced an experienced coaching staff consultant, and Li Ao has a little more expectation for the professional ability of the coaching staff.

However, this matter will not affect him for the time being. After his curiosity is over, he puts this matter aside and concentrates on training.

At the beginning of the month, the basic skill of CIC has reached 89, and there is not much time left in the offseason, so he has to hurry up and sprint!

The time came to September 9th. Li Ao, as usual, got up at 20 in the morning, finished his morning exercises at 6, took a shower, watched the news, and helped his mother prepare breakfast at 7:7. After preparing the dishes, Wake up the assistant aunt to have breakfast, and chat together at 8:9. When it was close to [-]:[-], Kobe came and went to training together.

Today's training went very smoothly. The basic shooting skills of the main trainer this morning are three-pointers. After the training in the morning, the system has settled the 100% extra bonus of the experience bracelet, the 20% extra bonus of Thompson's three-point action package, and the 3-level training method After the 60% extra bonus of , and the 2% extra bonus of level 40 training tasks, the three-point evaluation has increased to 78!

He is very happy, he now has the confidence to raise the three-pointer to over 80 in the new season and become an excellent three-pointer!

If it is catch and shoot, after his basic three-pointer reaches an excellent level, he can rely on the full-level 'catch and shoot expert' to raise his performance to first-class performance!
After calming down, Li Ao was going to ask Kobe to have a nutritious meal together.

The trainers didn'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 hurried up to help the aunt stand upright, he couldn't help complaining: "Why are you running so fast, don't you know your belly is so big? What if you fall, it will hurt!"

Vivian stuck out her tongue, begging for mercy.

Her family, Leo, was worried about her pain from falling, and of course she was also worried about her stomach, but first of all, she was worried about her pain from falling!
After being happy for a while, Vivian suddenly remembered the purpose of her running here, and said quickly: "Leo! Something big happened!"

Li Ao asked in confusion: "What's the big deal? Los Angeles was also bombed?"

Kobe, who was about to practice the last set of three-pointers, and the trainers had all focused their attention.

"L.A. was bombed, no... oh, no, no terrorist attack, I didn't worry about it anymore... Wait, you almost made me forget about the big things.

Stand still, don't be surprised to pass out.

The head coach called to let me tell you that Jordan is back!Signed with our team! "

Li Ao: (⊙_⊙)
Σ(☉▽☉"a
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Li Ao's expression changed rapidly, he was shocked by the news, but immediately became ecstatic!
No, wait, don't make a mistake, what if you just sign a player with the same name and surname?
Not only him, James Worthy, Skywalker, Cole and others were also shocked, and couldn't help spouting mantras, and Kobe was so surprised that the ball in his hand dropped.

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

Under the watchful eyes of others, Li Ao walked over to pick up his mobile phone. Gentry called, and his heart beat faster.

Feeling the eyes of other people, he pressed the speakerphone after answering the call.

"Leo! You have received the surprise we gave you! Hahahahaha, the god of basketball has joined us!"

　Ask for a monthly pass!
