Chapter 88: Yao Ming
Speaking of the Lakers, this guy immediately became excited. Although this guy was born in Compton, California, he never thought of escaping from here. The team is also the Los Angeles Lakers.
Some people may not know that Compton is actually one of the most chaotic places on the West Coast. Seven relatives around DeMar were shot dead.
To be honest, it's really not easy for this guy to grow up so healthy.
"Of course, they will kill the Magic and win the championship!" Lian Dao also spoke on the spur of the moment, speaking a little out of control.
"Magic? I am more optimistic about the Cavaliers. If Garnett's injury caused the season to be reimbursed, I would actually be more optimistic about the Celtics. Although as a Lakers fan, I shouldn't be so optimistic about the Celtics." DeMar said at the end Also shrugged.
This is true, the yellow-green battle is the most respected, from the time when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson played against the big bird Larry Bird and the refrigerator Kevin McHale, the two teams began to have grudges, If you go back further, you will have to go to the ancient times of the NBA, that is, the era of the Lakers Chamberlain!
It can be said that the fans of the yellow and green teams are really in the same boat!
When mentioning the Celtics, Lian Dao also nodded. These are the best years for the Celtics. If Garnett is not injured and all players are still at their peak level, then this year's championship Lakers is really hard to say .
It can only be said that injuries are really the worst enemy of athletes.
In fact, they still have a lot of time until the draft. Even if the trial training time and the time to go home are excluded, Lian Dao basically still has two months of training time.
If these two months are really used well, then he will also improve a little during this time.
Fortunately, there is no word for introversion yet. If there is, Lian Dao will definitely become the "king of introspection" in USC!
Others are on vacation during the off-season, but you are training. Isn't this going to kill others?
"I'm going to practice my three-pointer. What are you strengthening? I still need you to help me with three-pointers!" DeMar scratched his head in embarrassment.
Lian Dao was also very surprised when he heard it. Didn't this guy never practice three-pointers?
Before Lian Dao asked him to develop his three-point ability, he also said that the closer to the basket, the higher the success rate of scoring.
How come I think of it this time and take the initiative to seek change.
In fact, the reason Demar wants to change is also related to Lian Dao.
He saw that Lian Dao could break the stalemate for the team from the outside with three-pointers every time, especially the "elevator door" tactic, which made him understand a truth: strong people will have their own tactical system.
Moreover, if it weren't for his lack of three-point ability, the "elevator door" tactic would never be easily restricted by the University of North Carolina.
Therefore, at the end of the finals, he made up his mind to enrich his offensive methods.
"Yes, as long as you want to learn, I can tell you some experience, you can learn from it, in fact, what really suits you is the shot you feel most comfortable with."
Lian Dao agreed, and seeing his good friend seek progress by himself, Lian Dao was also happy for him.
"I'm going to improve my low-post skills and mid-range shooting."
Lian Dao then added.
After these few championships, Lian Dao actually exposed many problems.
In particular, Lian Dao has no low-post offensive ability, and his low-post footsteps are rough.
Then there is his mid-range shot. His mid-range shot is very unstable, and it is not obvious yet, but once the NBA's defensive strength improves, the disadvantages of shortcomings will be fully exposed.
DeMar nodded thoughtfully.
"We still have to find an agent and maybe a trainer if necessary."
Lian Dao also found that although the game was over, they still seemed to have a lot to deal with.
I am about to enter the NBA, and I am about to embark on the road of professional basketball, so I must find a professional.
Basically every NBA player has an agent, except Nowitzki.
Because not everyone can meet a good boss like Cuban like Nowitzki.
Unknowingly, they chatted for a long time until sleepiness hit.
The two went back to their room to sleep.
Lian Dao, who originally wanted to open the mysterious gift bag, once again forgot the past.
…
The next day, Lian Dao didn't wake up until 11 o'clock.
This is the first time Lian Dao has slept in after his rebirth, and he feels his body is crisp.
They'll be flying back to USC this afternoon, and there will be another celebration.
Lian Dao froze for a while, then involuntarily moved towards the phone.
The phone has run out of battery and turned off automatically.
Charge the phone and turn it on.
Seeing the series of congratulatory text messages and missed calls, Lian Dao said it was terrible.
He slept in so late last night that he forgot to charge his phone.
There are missed calls from parents and blessings from some friends.
Lian Dao also called everyone one by one, and if it was from China, he would send a text message. The main reason is that it should be midnight in China, and it is very rude to call back to disturb the other party's rest.
Among them, there is also a text message from Yao Ming.
Before Dayao found Su Qun and got Lian Dao's contact information.
Lian Dao still clearly remembered that when Yao Ming called him, he thought it was a scam call, but he was sure it was really him only after hearing the familiar mandarin and Dayao's voice.
This time, the University of Southern California surpassed everyone's expectations and won the championship. The Southern California Gaming that Yao Ming bought before also made a small profit this time.
At that time, in the Rockets' locker room, they knew that only Yao Ming bought Southern California, and they all lamented Yao Ming's luck.
Yao Ming also generously used this small windfall to invite everyone to dinner.
In addition to congratulating Lian Dao on winning the championship and winning the MOP, Yao Ming's text message also included a message, that is, the two of them met and chatted.
In fact, this is also an agreement between the two people before.
Although Lian Dao and Yao Ming often contact each other by text message and mobile phone, they have never really met each other.
The main reason is that Lian Dao flew around after entering March Madness, and this season, Rocket McGrady suffered a relapse on February 11 and was reimbursed for the season. Dayao, who led the team with a single core, was also very hard.
The two basically have no time to see each other.
Lian Dao has not yet started a training plan, so he has plenty of time.
Therefore, it was agreed that the two would meet on April 12. It happened that the Rockets did not have a game that day, and the next game was also at home against the Hornets on the 13th.
After Lian Dao hung up the phone, he was also very happy.
Compared with others, Lian Dao is actually lucky. First, his high school and university are in the United States, and he is very familiar with many environments and communication.
Even if you enter the NBA, there will be no language barriers.
Second, with Yao Ming as a guide, he can avoid many detours.
In other aspects, Yao Ming can also give a lot of suggestions.
For example, before Lian Dao asked Yao Ming about low-post attack and low-post footwork, Yao Ming gave Lian Dao a lot of teaching videos that he asked Olajuwon at that time.
