002:Two NBA players(1/2)
If you love someone, send him to New York, because this is paradise.
If you hate someone, send him to New York, because this is hell.
Li Ang looked at the busy Big Apple City, and BGM suddenly sounded in his mind:
"I have been chasing you for thousands of miles. But you don't care."
However, this busy scene has nothing to do with Li Ang.
Being unfamiliar with the place and having a few dollars in his pocket, he was unable to experience the prosperity of this city.
The only place Li Ang can go is the dormitory arranged by the training camp.
It's said to be a dormitory, but it's actually just a small hotel near the basketball stadium.
The cost of the training camp includes accommodation fees, but in fact few children will stay overnight in the places arranged by the training camp.
Most of the people who came to participate in this training camp were New York natives.
As for those who are willing to come from out of town to participate in the training camp, generally they don’t lack money and will not live here.
Only Li Ang is an exception.
He appears here just to gain advantage...
There's no way around it. It's already great to be able to attend a training camp organized by an NBA star. There's no room for choice.
The training camp will start tomorrow, and Li Ang is still very nervous.
Although this kind of training camp has NBA stars and professional trainers in person.
But to put it bluntly, people just use this as a side job to make some extra money.
Li Ang even wondered if Oakley was eliminated early in this year's playoffs and wanted to open the heads of several children to vent his dissatisfaction.
Don't tell me, having your head consecrated might actually open up the Ren and Du meridians.
Isn’t it that the future Haji Stone embarked on the road of super giant (eye defense) after being consecrated by my brother Tai?
In short, don't expect others to train you carefully and step by step as soon as you come up.
If you want to win attention, you have to rely on your own strength.
You have to stand out from other children in order to attract attention. Only in order to attract attention can you receive key training.
Li Ang still doesn't know how the system works, and he doesn't know if attribute points can be obtained through training.
Anyway, he has been practicing alone for the past week, and the system has not responded at all.
But no matter what, this is a rare training opportunity, and you must not go back without knowing why.
At the same time, in a high-end nightclub.
A strong man held two black girls in his arms. Opposite him, an equally strong but slightly shy young man sat.
"No need to be restrained, I'll call you two girls too?" The old man smiled and took a puff of his cigar.
"Uh... No, no, I've been training a lot recently and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with my nutrition." The young man waved his hand.
"Hahahaha, forget it, there's nothing to do in this kind of place anyway.
If you have a chance, I'll take you to Atlanta's Gold Club to open your eyes. Jordan even agreed to go there.
By the way, have you ever thought about changing your hairstyle? Changing to an afro or something can make you look taller, but now you tell others how tall you are?"
"Uh... I tell others that I am 2.03 meters tall."
"It's smaller, the style is smaller. Change your hair style, change it to a higher hair style, and then be bolder, and you can confidently say that you are 2.06 meters tall."
Daben:......
Although it felt a bit shameless, Daben felt that what his master said made sense.
After all, Ben has suffered a lot in terms of height.
I remember when I went to Green Kai to play in the summer league, Ben told others that he was 2.01 meters tall because he was too honest and simple.
As a result, he was assigned by the coach to play guard.
Then, people discovered that he couldn't dribble at all.
It's actually normal if you can't dribble when playing outside. You can shoot without the ball.
There are so many shooters who can't dribble.
Then, Ben made three consecutive shots without the ball...
Lu Kai: Where are you doing this to amuse me? You should disappear from my eyes immediately, get out!
His first NBA dream was shattered like this.
So much so that when he meets people in the Bullets, he says, "I'm really 2.03 meters tall and don't have a centimeter of moisture. I really don't lie!"
That's right, this slightly shy young man was none other than Ben Wallace, who would dominate the sky in Detroit.
And the master he was talking about was the man who was hugging two black girls at this moment - Charles Oakley!
Ben came to New York to find Oakley this time. First, he came to Oakley's training camp to help.
Secondly, I also want to find Oakley to work alone and continue to improve myself.
In the 1996-97 season that just ended, after many twists and turns, Ben finally got a position with the Washington Bullets.
He played 34 times this season, averaging 5.8 minutes per game.
Although he got his wish and played in the NBA, there is no doubt that this is not Ben's ultimate goal.
He doesn't want to just play in garbage time, he wants to make a name for himself in the league.
Therefore, just after the season ended, he called his master Oakley, hoping to train with him.
Today is Ben's first day in New York, so Oakley suggested that we, master and apprentice, have a few drinks and catch up with you by the way.
When Da Ben arrived, he realized that his master was clearly a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
Oakley didn't drink much, but he controlled the ball quite well.
"I wonder if I will meet a guy as interesting as you in this year's training camp." Oakley said, and couldn't help but start controlling the ball with both hands.
At first glance, he looks like a veteran.
Daben smiled: "I guess there won't be anyone as stupid as me."
At that time, Daben, who was too poor to take the blame, also participated in Oakley's training camp because of cheap opportunities.
That's right, who if you have money doesn't want to learn from Jordan...
At that time, the only kid in the training camp who dared to look at Oakley was Ben.
Oakley immediately fell in love with this fierce young man and asked Ben to have one-on-one time with him.
Needless to say, the result was that that day, Ben's nose, corners of his mouth and corners of his eyes were all broken.
His body was also covered in bruises.
Attending a basketball training camp is like having a boxing match.
I would never have imagined that this guy is really cruel to children!
Although he was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, Ben never flinched even half a step during the confrontation.
Oakley admired this fool who dared to fight.
After that, Ben became the object of Oakley's special attention.
After the training camp, the two kept in touch. When Ben was unable to go to college due to poor grades, it was Oakley who helped and enrolled Ben in a community college, which is similar to a junior college in China.
After playing in junior college for two years, Oakley used his connections to get him into the NCAA Division II league.
This is how he became the defensive beast he is now playing in the NBA.
It can be said that Oakley is the noble person in Ben's life.
If Ben is a thousand-mile horse, then Oakley is his talent.
But as Ben said, he doesn't think there will be a guy like him in this year's training camp.
Oakley, that is simply synonymous with recklessness.
The scene of him and Barkley fighting each other on the court this year is still impressive to this day.
Oakley's few slaps at that time stunned Flying Pig.
Barkley's fighting ability is well-known.
In his rookie season, he teamed up with Julius Erving to beat Bird.
And Oakley is one of the few people who can make Flying Pig suffer in a fight.
You are such a villain, let alone a child. Even in the NBA, when people see Oakley, they have to give in and try not to provoke him.
The reason why Ben dared to look at Oakley was because...
He didn’t know that looking at Oakley would result in one-on-one with him!
To be continued...
