From sparring to superstar

Chapter 206 204. Entering the Arena
After the meeting, Ballmer hurried away.

Gentry sat in the boss's office and did not leave. He is now one head and two older.

Caesar Kanter asked: "Alvin, why don't you change the team plan? We will start the training camp on the 25th. If we don't work overtime, we will delay the training camp and be careful to be fired by Wally."

Gentry sighed and said, "Caesar, what do you mean by big boss? Other teams are worried about infighting. When you come to him, how do you feel that you want to provoke internal strife?"

"Haha, Alvin, you think too much. Steve didn't ask you to suppress Michael, he just asked you to show your attitude."

"manner?"

"That's right, it's just an attitude. He didn't ask you to change Michael's tactical role, right? Michael is still the first singles offensive point in your tactics, and the second organizational offensive point. He didn't ask you to make changes for Leo. More tactics, not allowing you to adjust Leo's role in tactics.

He just asked you to put Leo first in the priority of tactical selection. This, in fact, he didn’t say, you should also consider that this time Wally’s work is not good enough. He should find this out and fire him. you. "

"..."

Gentry was speechless for a few seconds.

The big boss of their team didn't speak clearly.

The general manager is not sticky, and he is extremely cautious in everything. He usually doesn't joke a word; the boss is especially fond of joking.

The core of the team's training is a master who can piss people off, but fortunately, the combat power is so strong that it explodes...

But he also understood what Ballmer meant, and said: "Hey, I was so excited to see the god of basketball come to our team. better than him.

Thinking about it now, Leo is our future, and the god of basketball is just a passerby. The big boss should be worried that Leo is unhappy and finally leaves.

In fact, putting Leo's tactics in the first place will not affect our style of play. Leo is a very smart player. He will not do things he is not good at. He will only do things he can do. Take the initiative to fight, and if he is not good at it, he will choose to trust his teammates. "

"Yes, but we have to be clear.

If there are conditions for him to practice his skills on the court, he must give it.

When Leo thinks he can do something, no matter whether he can really do it or not, we must give him the opportunity first, even if he fails, we must give him the opportunity next time when he wants it.

We don't need to tell everyone that we signed the God of Basketball to assist Spider-Man, and that's what provoked internal strife in the team. Tell the players, tell the fans.

This has to be done right from the training camp stage!
Of course, there was still the possibility of dissatisfaction with Michael, whose character we all knew, but Steve had already prepared us in advance. "

"Preparation?"

"Didn't he just say that he has given Michael a maximum salary, which is not a small amount of money.

He also instructed us to sign the teammates and coaches that Michael wanted, and held a special press conference for Michael. way of comeback.

You should have heard that Steve promised to support Michael in building a new team in Charlotte after the Hornets moved to New Orleans.

If there is a real possibility of infighting, he has already prepared for us... Trading the God of Basketball, I'm a little excited after thinking about it, Alvin, why don't you provoke infighting? "

"Get out!" Gentry couldn't hold back the swearing after all.

"Haha...Actually, even though Steve doesn't usually come to the team, he has put a lot of effort into our team. He even talked to me about buying our memorial stadium and using it as a souvenir for our team. I also want to sell the arena to him, but unfortunately, this arena is not owned by me alone. I only have a small share of the shares. Only my father and I like basketball in my family. Neither he nor I can make decisions about this matter. Just treat the Clippers acquisition as a business."

Gentry nodded. He has felt it now. He thought that the Microsoft tycoon bought their team just for fun. He just wanted to fight Paul Allen. Now it doesn't look like this.

He got up to say goodbye to his boss and went back to his office to work overtime.

He had to think carefully and grasp the degree of tactical inclination.

To show that in the minds of the management and the coaching staff, Spider-Man is the team's future attitude, but we must not rush to make Jordan dissatisfied, we must find a balance point.

After all, Jordan is their most important signing this year and their greatest hope for further progress.

But focusing on cultivating Spider-Man, Gentry believes that Jordan can't say anything.

In addition, the impact of tactical tilt on the overall strength of the team must be considered, and the planned tactics may have to be adjusted...

The new rules have just been changed, and it is very troublesome to adjust the tactics. I don't know the specific effects of the new rules.

The media is saying that the new regulations will impose huge restrictions on O'Neill, which may be correct.

However, the media advocated that after adding defense for three seconds, the iron and blood defense will perish, but based on the knowledge he has learned after staying with Larry Brown for so many years, he thinks this is not necessarily true. Too much space.

He must have to stay up late and work overtime, but he can't do it alone!He called all the teaching assistants and consultants, and the decisive battle continued until dawn!

...

Another two days passed, and on the afternoon of September 9, Li Ao ended his third duel with Jordan.

After finally defending Jordan until he hit a set of irons, the duel time was over, Li Ao was in pain, this old Joe really had a good score on his physical condition.

After 3 sparring sessions, he was surprised by the basketball god again.

In this sparring, Jordan's back-up success rate and the continuity of singles are slightly higher than the first sparring the day before yesterday!
He has a little experience in back defense, and his defense has improved a little.

On the other hand, Jordan has made more progress. The new style of play has just been developed, and it is still in the "progressive period".

Mainly reflected in the use of physical strength, Jordan's movements in post-up singles have become more concise, reducing unnecessary consumption.

When Jordan is not actively teaching, Li Ao can always learn from the basketball god.

It's just... 460 achievement points, looking at this pitiful little reward, I really miss the time when I sparred with Afro.

It’s not that Kobe is not as good as Jordan in singles, the former is definitely better than the latter now, but Kobe is purely honing his skills, sometimes he doesn’t even have to go to the basket once every two hours, and his shots are concentrated in COSCO shots, and they are all face-up singles, Li Ao Good at defending against this, the defensive success rate is naturally good.

And Jordan is not polishing technology, but testing technology.

Fortunately, there is another harvest. Looking at the 2-point high back-up skill experience package from Jordan, the corners of Li Ao's mouth rose.

His high post application technique has reached 77, and he can still hit a +2. He is indeed the god of basketball!
After resting for a while, he practiced for more than an hour to turn over, turn around, cut in and other technical movements. He felt that every time he practiced, he was rewarded. Unfortunately, the feeling of "enlightenment" only lasted for more than an hour. , the system prompts that the 'perception time' is over, and after the high position back technique is raised to 79, that feeling is gone.

After a day of training, Li Ao left Jordan's clubhouse. He will not be here in a short time, and the training camp will start tomorrow.

The lineup has changed so much, with two more starters, the tactical adjustment must be huge, the system must be rebuilt, and the amount of training is estimated to be not small.

But he didn't find it troublesome.

I just entered the NCAA the year before last, and it was the first time I received professional basketball training, and it was the first time I learned tactics.

When I entered the NBA last year, I was still on a messy team. The coaching staff has been adjusting the style of play for almost the entire season.

Which time is not more troublesome than now?He is used to it.

Not long after returning home, Cengfan came.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and Li Ao still misses Liam when he looks at Liam who has matured a lot.

He complained: "You didn't come for my birthday, where did you go?"

"Didn't I take my girlfriend to visit the florist in June? I found that your florist is really full of opportunities and business opportunities everywhere. After I came back, I told the old man about it, and he took me to go again. I joined the Flower Planter, and I just came back last week, and I was almost exhausted. I knew I would have learned Chinese well with you two years ago. You guys from the Flower Planter are really good at it. You always make charades when you speak, and even the translator can’t guess the meaning of the other party. Now I finally discovered your strengths, speaking directly..."

Liam poured out his bitterness and wanted to hear the comfort of his good brother.

Who would have thought that Li Ao asked, "Which girlfriend?"

"Ah... oh, last one."

"As expected of you."

"..."

Liam was in no mood to complain.

Fortunately, dinner came and comforted his wounded heart.

After dinner, the two went to the game room to play games.

In fact, the two of them still prefer the atmosphere of the arcade, where a crowd of people watched them play games.

But now it is no longer possible to go to those occasions so casually.

Li Ao's shopping on the street is fine, passersby will ask for an autograph if they see it, and if they have a Polaroid, ask for a group photo, but going to that kind of indoor place with a lot of traffic will undoubtedly cause congestion.

After playing the game for a while, Liam suddenly remembered the business, and said a deal that he was going to do.

"2000 million bought the Great Western Forum?"

"No, you paid 1800 million, and I paid 200 million. I spend my time and effort to maintain the operation, and you give me more shares."

"Why not the other way around? I know someone who is professional in running arenas."

"I don't have that much money."

"..."

"Personal investment, you can't use the family's money, otherwise it will become the family's investment, and my sisters are in vain."

"Aren't you on good terms with your sisters?"

"I have a good relationship with them, but they have husbands and boyfriends, and they are all from rich families. Our family wants to take advantage of them, and they want to bite us, and my sisters and I One day they will form their own families, and they will definitely think about their own families."

"That's right, the battle between the two brothers and sisters of the Bass family is like a court drama. Your family is richer than theirs. Now it's very rare...but why is it so cheap? Miserable, but at least it will take 4000 to [-] million to buy it."

"Orange County Investment Group acquired the two-story property in the Twin Towers in April."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder..."

Li Ao seems to have seen the operation of joining the national army in 49.

If you buy it, you must buy it. He remembers that ten years later, the selling price of this arena seems to be less than 5000 million. It was bought by Dolan, and finally sold for 4 million dollars... When he first thought about investing in real estate, this It was one of his goals, but he didn't have the opportunity to get in touch, and he didn't expect to get it at this time.

Of course, you can’t just pay after such a verbal chat. The two discussed it. Liam will bring someone here tomorrow to discuss cooperation details with Schwartz and Vivienne. The beginning of investment and the distribution of income... these have to be discussed.

...

On the second day, the Clippers started training camp ahead of schedule.

Li Ao came to the Memorial Stadium at 8:23 in the morning and saw many fans wearing the No. [-] Clippers jersey.

a little sour...

But what was even worse was the big Q. Li Ao saw the handwritten 'Jordan' on the back of many people's jerseys.

The new No. 23 jersey was out of stock, and the management prepared it in advance, but the enthusiasm of the fans exceeded expectations.

And the 23rd size of the old big Q is discounted and promoted. If you can’t buy the new jersey or you think Jordan’s jersey is expensive, you will buy the big Q.

When Li Ao arrived at the training ground, he saw that Big Q had started to practice running and catching three-pointers.

He watched for a while and helped Big Q correct the details of his movements when catching the ball, feeling full of accomplishment.

Finally it was his turn to mentor others!
Men are good teachers.

After instructing the big Q group training, Li Ao chatted with the resting big Q for a while while warming up. He joked about the fact that the big Q jersey was pasted with other people's names.

Who knew that Big Q replied: "Then I made a lot of money? The idol is my teammate, and the idol also helps me sell jerseys!"

Li Ao remembered that the current jersey sales share is not divided equally among all players in the future according to the number of appearances in the season, but who sells well and who gets the most money. He also got a lot of small money last season.
"Yeah, Michael will come later, let's show him off, your jersey is selling better than him!"

"..."

For the first time, Big Q had the idea of ​​rebelling, but he was impulsive for a second, and he strangled the idea to death.

After a while, before 9 o'clock, Jordan also came and greeted Big Q with airs.

Li Ao just wanted to complain about 'pretending to be a criminal', but seeing the excited look of Big Q, he could only complain about "no prospect".

Jordan came directly from the hotel half an hour's walk away. From now on until the end of the training camp, where will he stay? , After activating his muscles and joints with the help of a trainer, he began to practice the basic skills of catching and shooting.

Li Ao raised his eyebrows, and started CIC basic skills training next door.

By the time Jordan finished his warm-up, it was already past 9 o'clock, and his teammates entered the training ground. Many people came to watch Jordan's training for the first time.

Seeing Jordan's accurate mid-range shot, they all lamented that he is indeed the god of basketball, even better than their Spiderman... Hey!wrong!Spider-Man has also become more accurate!
