Chapter 31
Chapter 31: All Villains
Oakland, California, is New Zealand’s largest port city and one of the most developed cities in the world.
It is midsummer at this time, but Auckland, which is mild and rainy all year round, still makes people feel very comfortable. It is worthy of being the top three cities in the selection of the most adaptable cities in the world.
After filming the endorsement commercials for Septwolves and Daliyuan in his hometown of Quanzhou, Wang Zelin came to the United States with his agent Zhou Yang and trainer Tom Bruce.
It happened to be Tom Bruce’s hometown, so the three of them would inevitably come for a visit.
However, the travel is just a matter of convenience. Coming to the United States in advance to adapt to the rhythm and confrontation of the game here is the real purpose of this trip.
It is only the beginning of May, the 2012 draft lottery has not yet started, and various training camps have not been held yet.
As a sports league that has been developing for half a century, it naturally has its own fixed procedures.
Basically, after the end of the annual draft lottery, it also means that the NBA draft war has kicked off, and the entire league starts to rumble like a clockwork machine.
The first is the opening of the training camp, including those organized by the NBA and 30 teams in the league themselves. All players who meet the draft standards can go to the training camp for trial training.
This year’s NBA lottery is scheduled for May 31, and the draft is scheduled for June 29, so Wang Zelin still has more than a month to improve himself.
However, this time the upgrade is a bit special.
……
On an indoor training ground in Oakland, sweat was dripping from Wang Zelin’s cheeks to the floor. At this time, he could only hold his knees firmly with both hands to maintain his reluctance to stand. .
It must be admitted that this is the first time he almost collapsed due to training in the past few days.
“Hey hey boy, didn’t you have a lot of backbone in the beginning? Why did you become weak so quickly?”
“Rick, I haven’t seen you for many years. It seems that your skill is far inferior to that of the past. You can’t even settle for a hairy boy.”
“Charles, don’t talk nonsense there. If you’re not convinced, let’s go out and practice.”
“Come on, who’s afraid of who? We haven’t fought for a long time.”
Seeing the two big men in front of them seemed to be preparing for a big fight, Bruce Bowen, a former Spurs player who described himself as a ‘sven man”, interposed between them.
“Okay, the two of you will get over your mouth addiction after a while. You really want to do it!”
“Don’t you forget what they paid for us to come?”
Bowen pointed the finger at Wang Zelin, who was still breathing heavily.
“That kid hasn’t fallen yet. It’s a bit sorry for the reputation of our three brothers.”
“Hee hee hee, although I don’t like you very much, I have to admit that what you said really makes sense.”
“Seconded!”
Looking at the three big men who were walking towards him with a smile, Wang Zelin couldn’t help but chrysanthemum said suddenly.
Rick Mahon, a center and a member of the famous “Bad Boys Corps”, is almost synonymous with violence. In the original Pistons team, he acted as a bodyguard.
Charles Oakley, the main power forward: “Michael Jordan’s thug!”, “He’s not here to play, he’s here to fight!”, “A villain in the eyes of opponents, a good brother in the hearts of teammates!”
This is the famous label on Charles Oakley.
If the first two old guys, Wang Zelin, are not very familiar, then the last one, he is really familiar and can’t be more familiar.
Bruce Bowen!
The seventh player in the history of the Spurs to enjoy the treatment of retired jerseys, the famous real ankle terminator in the league, and also one of the best defense masters in the league at that time.
These three old friends are the special trainers that Zhou Yang specially invited to Wang Zelin, so that he can experience the cruelty of the other side of the NBA.
The good name said: It is to allow Wang Zelin to grow up better, and to experience the world of adults by the way.
Although the current NBA is much more “civilized” than it was in the last century, certain things are inevitable.
After all, compared with the NBA, the CBA can be said to be too kind. Both Zhou Yang and Tom Bruce agree that Wang Zelin is still a little too young, and his experience still needs to be strengthened.
So, there is this scene today.
Rick Mahon and Charles Oakley, who are now his interior technical teachers, are mainly responsible for teaching him the tricks and skills of getting to the basket. . . How to properly apply small movements within the rules to protect yourself from injury.
In the words of the two of them: “Letting your opponent down is the best way to protect yourself.”
Well, this protection is very strong!
As for Bruce Bowen, it is natural to teach Wang Zelin how to deal with various small moves outside the NBA rules.
Similarly, Bowen also said: before he learns how to deal with it, he must first learn how to use it.
Could this be the legendary “If you want to learn to fight well, you must learn to be beaten.”
Although Wang Zelin himself is very disgusted with the use of small movements, he has to admit that Bowen’s experience is indeed very useful.
There is a saying that goes well, not having a sword and not having a sword are two different things.
What he has to do now is to become an excellent sword holder. Only in this way can he protect himself without harming others.
Another half hour passed
“Toot!”
With a crisp whistle, a string that had been tensing in Wang Zelin’s mind suddenly snapped, and he just slumped on the floor.
“Hoo! Hoo!”
Today’s training is finally over.
Wang Zelin, whose physical strength is infinitely close to being overdrawn, finally has time to breathe a long sigh of relief~www.readwn.com~ I have to admit that your talent is indeed very good, although it is definitely not comparable to the level of the big four centers, but Much better than your fellow Yao. ”
After the training, Charles Oakley took the initiative to walk up to Wang Zelin and handed him a bottle of water.
“Thanks.”
“Oh, I can’t see that you still have the strength to speak. It seems that you haven’t reached your limit yet. The training intensity needs to be strengthened tomorrow.”
Rick Mahon came over at some point, and fluttered a word.
“Farewell, big brother, please let me go!”
At this moment, Wang Zelin had the urge to faint.
“Okay, today’s training is over, see you tomorrow at the same time!”
After today’s task was completed, Ma Hong and Oakley left the training ground after joking about Wang Zelin.
“Zelin, do you feel reborn now?”
Zhou Yang, wearing a white sports suit, walked in from the door, holding two dry towels in his hands.
“I’m going on the other side, I don’t feel reborn or anything, but I have experienced the taste of being shattered!”
Wang Zelin was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Yang now, took the towel and threw his head to the other side.
“Don’t, it took me a lot of effort to find them, and the money was paid, so it’s only halfway through.”
“Additionally, it’s your money!”
“Okay, I get it.”
Tucao returns to Tucao, but in Wang Zelin’s heart, he is still very grateful that Zhou Yang found these three old fritters for him and imparted his valuable experience of being in the NBA.
The talent system can be given to you, but if you want to realize it, you have to rely on unremitting efforts.
