no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 83
Xu Yong and Kobe chatted for a long time, and when Olajuwon left, they were still chatting.

"I think this footwork is not only a low-post attack, but if it is combined with a breakthrough, it can also have a very good effect." Kobe has begun to broaden his thinking.

"That's right, if you land with a falling step or a jumping step after breaking through, the effect of turning around will be even more unpredictable." Xu Yong also nodded in agreement.

A No. 1 player in the current NBA league, and a No. [-] pick this year, the two of them are now like academic masters exchanging experience in class, and they are out of control.

And this can't just be said without practice, the two quickly competed on the stage.

They didn't stop until the staff came to remind them.

This arena was rented by Olajuwon to teach lessons, and there will be an extra charge when it arrives.

The two got up and left the arena, and Kobe finally exchanged phone numbers with him.

"See you in the new season." Kobe specifically said this before leaving.

Inexplicably, they had a sense of déjà vu as if they were brothers from the same school who had met for a few months to compete in martial arts.

……

After leaving Houston, Xu Yong did not return to Chicago, but went to Tempe again.

The United Center was open to visitors during the offseason, and it was inconvenient for him to train there.

On the contrary, it will be much more convenient if you go back to your alma mater for training.

This is actually the choice of many NBA players in the summer.

And he was running around before, and the small training house he rented here in Tempe has not been returned.

But because he has graduated, he can no longer live on campus, so he can only rent a house temporarily.

When he arrived in Tempe, he called Harden first.

Unexpectedly, Harden, DeRozan and Ayers are all in Tempe at the moment.

And they only arrived two days earlier than themselves.

"We rented a four-bedroom house, just waiting for you to come."

Harden's words warmed Xu Yong's heart. There is no better confidant than a friend.

But to be able to train with them, of course, it couldn't be better.

He arrived at the place given by Harden, only to find a group of people busy moving things.

It was a mattress that looked familiar.

"Xu, help me." Harden also waved after seeing Xu Yong.

Ever since, the four millionaires carried a mattress upstairs.

"Isn't there a mattress here?" Xu Yong couldn't help asking after seeing a mattress in the room after moving it up.

"I'm not used to sleeping on the mattresses here. Before the new students arrived, I went to get the one from the dormitory." Harden explained with a smile.

Xu Yong felt ashamed for a while.

Good guy, you are really adapting to local conditions.

But they helped their alma mater win the first championship in school history, let alone a mattress, you would not refuse to move the entire dormitory over there.

"Do you want to move yours here?" Harden then asked.

Xu Yong shook his head, he was not as delicate as Harden.

The next day, four millionaires are moving mattresses again...

Xu Yong understood why Harden moved. The original mattress in this rental house was too soft, which is a good thing for ordinary people. For people of their size, it feels like sleeping in a sponge , Waking up in the morning can't stand it.

Time passed little by little in their training.

Xu Yong's back is finally in shape.

Of course, DeRozan also trained with him.

Last time it was Xu Yong who prostituted his back for nothing, this time it was his turn to prostitute Xu Yong for nothing.

DeRozan also proved that he is a high-quality jade in the rough. After gaining an understanding of the use of the pivot foot, he no longer sticks to poor imitations and has made rapid progress.

Just as they were training, Sandek returned to Tempe.

After a summer of hard work, he successfully brought back Jimmy Butler.

Looking at the few hands with green faces, he, who was just improvised at the beginning, suddenly realized a problem.

Butler also went to the Bulls in history, so his new junior is likely to be his teammate in the future? !
No, not necessarily.

The impact of the butterfly effect is continuous. Butler will have to sit in the ball for a year, so it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

But let's not talk about the future, let's talk about the present, Butler came at the right time.

Because Cooksix didn't come, they lost a defensive tool man.

Butler: excited.jpg.

And just after bringing Butler back, Sandek had a chat with Xu Yongduo.

He is going to go to China to inspect the players.

Xu Yong's success made their school also pay attention to Chinese players.

Just like looking for the next Jordan, they hope to find the next Xu Yong if they have the chance.

Xu Yong was naturally very happy to hear this.

Because compared to unilateral expectations, the effect of this two-way rush will naturally be better.

He is also looking forward to the results of Sandek's investigation. In fact, there are not many good seedlings in China at this stage. If he can really bring one over, it can be regarded as an early exploration of the idea he talked about with Yao Ming.

Also at this time, Yao Ming called him.

He still decided to return to China to play in the Asian Championships.

"I was trained by the country, and when the country needs me, I must be on top."

Yao Ming's words are very realistic, not only because of his sense of honor, but more importantly because he is a player who has gone out of the system.

As he said, he was cultivated by the country, and the basketball team representing this country is the national men's basketball team.

"But I think what you said is right. I will communicate with the people above. They always need us to play well in the World Cup and the Olympics."

Yao Ming then said some very meaningful words.

Xu Yongneng could tell that although Yao Ming didn't listen to his persuasion, he still agreed with his idea.

In other words, he agreed with this idea that belonged to his own future.

When Xu Yong heard this, he immediately introduced Sandek to him.

With Yao Ming's help, Sandek's inspection should go much smoother.

……

Fast forward to late August.

Yao Ming returned to the United States after helping the men's basketball team win the Asian Championships.

Sandek came with Yao Ming, and they brought another person.

A tall, lanky monster with arms.

The 16-year-old Zhou Qi still has a lot of pimples on his face.

The current Zhou Qi will definitely not be able to play in the NCAA regardless of his age or body, but in China, he will basically join the system after this age.

So this time he came to the United States, Yao Ming made a lot of effort, and he was going to follow Xu Yong's old path, first to play high school, and then strive to enter the NCAA.

However, unlike Xu Yong, Yao's team has signed Zhou Qi in advance and provided him with the cost of playing in the United States, which is equivalent to an investment.

This is somewhat different from what Xu Yong thought before, but this compromise method is more realistic.

At this time, Xu Yong and the others were all ready to leave Tempe.

Generally speaking, the training camps of each team will start in mid-September.

These newcomers naturally have to arrive earlier.

This morning, they packed their bags and prepared to part ways.

Before parting, Xu Yong opened his backpack and took out the gifts he had prepared for others.

What Harden got was a red bracelet with copper coins.

This was bought in advance in Chicago's Chinatown before Xu Yong went.

"James, this is used for making wishes in our country. I hope he can bring you luck." Xu Yong said after handing the rope to Harden.

Harden's eyes widened, he took the hand strap and observed it for a while, and he couldn't wait to put it on, and after putting it on, he shook his face and smiled, then reached out and hugged Xu Yonglai tightly.

This gift was linked with his nickname, Xu Yong really put his heart into it.

At this time, DeRozan also observed the gift that Xu Yong gave him. It was a baby's bobblehead doll. It was very, very joyful to look at, and it made people want to laugh when they looked at it.

"DeMar, I hope you will be happy every day." After hugging Harden, Xu Yong reached out to DeRozan and gave him a hug.

DeRozan didn't speak, but hugged Xu Yong tightly.

Xu Yong can always make him feel warm from time to time.

What Ailes received was a framed photo of them together when they won the championship.

"Jeff, no matter what happens in the future, I hope you can remember this moment. We have done an amazing thing." Xu Yong finally said to Ayers.

Among the four of them, Ayers had the lowest sense of presence.

Even before his rebirth, Xu Yong's understanding of Ayres was limited to the scene where he was sluggish and cried at the end of his career, and was helped off by Duncan.gif.

With Ailes' talent, he is destined to be just a role player in the NBA, and maybe that scene will inevitably happen.

But at least it is different from the history. They once climbed to the highest point in the NCAA and enjoyed the scenery at the highest point.

"Thank you, Xu." Ayers also hugged Xu Yong vigorously.

This is a very meaningful gift for him.

"Good luck guys."

"You too."

After delivering the gifts, they waved goodbye and finally embarked on their respective journeys.

　It will be on the shelves on August 500st, and I am so cute and begging for tickets every day~Thank you for the [-] reward~~
