new lord of the rings

Chapter 202
The Warriors arrived in Orlando. The Warriors had a day to rest. Curry had a local friend who invited him to play golf. Curry invited Zhang Xin to join him.

Orlando not only has basketball, but also is a holy place for golf. There are the best golf courses in the world, and many large-scale golf games are held every year.

The godfather of golf David Liebert also has his own piece of land in Orlando, where the headquarters of the golf academy he founded is here. Michelle Wie, Nick, Nick Price, Norman, and Ernie Els are all from Liebert's school .

Curry is a golf enthusiast. How could he not come out to play when he comes to the holy land of golf.

To be honest, this is the first time Zhang Xin has entered a golf course in his two lifetimes. In his previous life, although he was considered a bit of an idiot, he didn’t have any friends who liked golf. Most of them were friends who liked basketball.

After being reborn in this life, he has always been hanging out in the NBA, not to mention playing golf, and rarely even participating in other activities.

The course Curry's friends invited them to play was the Sawgrass, home of the Players' Championship, which is held every May and for which the Sawgrass is world-renowned.

The scenery of the Sawgrass course is beautiful. Every hole here can enjoy the magnificent scenery formed by the interlacing of rolling green hills and slopes, especially the famous 17th hole --- "Devil's Hole in Sawgrass".

Curry's friend introduced them to the two as they walked, in fact, he introduced to Zhang Xin. As a golf enthusiast, Curry is very familiar with it.

Zhang Xin smiled and listened while admiring the beautiful scenery. Although it is already winter, Florida is the "Sunshine State" in the southeast corner of the United States. The cool fresh air is really refreshing!
Curry enthusiastically taught Zhang Xin how to play golf: "You are right-handed, with your left hand up and your right hand down, hold the club with a comfortable strength, neither let the club fly into the lake, nor It will make your swing stiff... stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and start slowly with the strength of your swing. Start small, learn to push the ball slowly, and then hit hard when you have mastered the stability ball."

Curry is obviously a good coach. He explained the details very clearly, even with demonstrations, simple and clear. Golf is also easy to learn, but it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Curry is a very good golfer. At least from an amateur point of view, Curry even participated in a professional golf game in 2017. On the first day of the game, Curry scored 3 birdies, 5 bogeys, 1 double bogey 74, 4-over-par results, the end of the first round of competition.You should know that this is a mixed game between professional and amateur players, but it is a real professional golf game.Curry's performance has also been praised by many professional golfers.

Generally speaking, the coordination of athletes is much better than that of ordinary people, and it is relatively easy to learn golf, at least in terms of stability and coordination, not to mention strength, but skills still need to be honed.

Anyway, Zhang Xin had nothing to do, so he slowly learned the movements, but he didn't swing vigorously. The same is true for Curry, because there will be a game tomorrow, and it is certain that his arms will be sore the next day after swinging vigorously. It is not the quality of professional athletes to cause arm muscle strain.

So they just walk around and practice putts in scenic places, mostly for leisure.

Zhang Xin was surprised to find that his talent in golf is also very good. Whether it is swinging or putting, he looks like a person who has been training for a long time. Curry praised: "Zhang, you are really the first time Playing golf? Doesn't look like it."

Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Maybe I should practice golf, I might be more suitable to be a golfer, haha."

Curry grinned so hard his back teeth bared.

The two also had a taste of it, and after practicing for a while, they found a pergola and began to rest while chatting.

Looking at the open land, Zhang Xin felt very relaxed and happy. It would be good to hang out with Curry in the future. At least he can see more things, and he can also be with Green...

Oh, no, Green and the others will only take him to nightclubs, don't look at Clay being honest, he is a man known as the little prince of Gadance!He had a great time at the club.

Zhang Xin and Zhang Xin didn't stay for long, and went back soon. There was still training in the afternoon, and now they had to go back to have a meal and catch up on sleep.

NBA players are like this, very restrained, unless those players give up on themselves and have no big pursuits, they will often go to nightclubs or play everything very devotedly. Those who have pursuits, such as Curry and Zhang Xin, will put playing first in everything they do It can be played, but it is based on the basis that it does not affect playing basketball.

The Orlando Magic's lineup has not changed much this year. Nikola Vujacic renewed his contract, waived Jason Mark Hill and Ronnie Price, and the team did not sign with Ettovan Moore and let him become a free agent.

The best thing the Magic management did during the offseason should be to select Aaron Gordon and trade for rookie Alfred Payton.

Aaron Gordon was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 4th pick in the first round. He is 206cm tall and weighs 102KG. He has strong running and jumping ability and can control his body well.

Gordon has broad shoulders, excellent upper body strength, a strong ability to read the game, and likes to share the ball with his teammates;

The defensive end is impeccable, has an excellent sense of position on the court, has excellent footwork, can keep up with outside players and maintain oppression.

Overall, he is a very good rookie. In the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in the 2015-16 season, he and the defending champion Zach LaVine experienced two overtimes. They competed for a total of 6 rounds, although they finally brushed shoulders with the champion. However, it may be the most intense slam dunk contest in history for the fans.

Payton was the 10th pick in the first round, and the 76ers traded him to the Magic after he was selected.In his rookie season, Payton played 82 regular-season games, including 63 starts, averaging 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, and was selected to the first team of the All-Rookie Team.As of the 2018-2019 season, in 300 career games, Payton averaged 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

The Magic's draft is successful, but the rookie is not an immediate force. In the new season, the Magic played 16 games and only won 6 of them. They are the bottom team in the Eastern Conference.
