Xu Yong and Kobe Bryant chatted for a long time. When Olajuwon left, they were still chatting.
"I think this footwork is not only used for low-post offense, but if combined with breakthroughs, it can also have a very good effect." Kobe has begun to broaden his thinking.
"That's right, after breaking through, use the falling step or jumping step to land. At that time, the effect of turning around will be even more difficult to prevent." Xu Yong also nodded in agreement.
One is the No. 1 player in the NBA and the other is this year's No. 2 pick. The two of them are now like academic masters exchanging lessons. They are out of control.
And this can't be just talk without practice. The two people soon took to the field to compete.
They didn't stop until the staff came to remind them.
This arena was rented by Olajuwon for teaching, and there will be an additional charge when the time comes.
The two got up and left the arena, and Kobe finally left each other's phone numbers with him.
"See you in the new season." Kobe said this specifically before leaving.
Inexplicably, they had a sense of déjà vu as if they were brothers from the same sect who had met for a martial arts competition a few months later.
…
After leaving Houston, Xu Yong did not return to Chicago, but went to Tempe.
The United Center is open to visitors during the offseason, and it is inconvenient for him to train there.
On the contrary, it would be much more convenient to go back to your alma mater for training.
This is actually the choice that many NBA players will make in the summer.
Moreover, he had been traveling around so much that he hadn't even returned to the small training house he rented here in Tempe.
However, because he has graduated, he can no longer live on campus and can only rent a temporary house.
When he arrived in Tempe, he first called Harden.
Unexpectedly, Harden, DeRozan and Ayers were all in Tempe at the moment.
And they only arrived two days earlier than me.
"We rented a house with four bedrooms and one living room and are waiting for you to come."
Harden's words made Xu Yong's heart warm. There is no better friend than a confidant.
But it would be great to be able to train with them.
He arrived at the place given by Harden and found a group of people busy moving things.
It was a mattress that looked vaguely familiar.
"Xu, come and help." Harden waved after seeing Xu Yong.
So, four millionaires carried a mattress upstairs.
"Isn't there a mattress?" After moving up, Xu Yong couldn't help but asked after seeing a piece in the room.
"I can't sleep on the mattress here. The new students haven't arrived yet, so I went to get the dormitory piece." Harden explained with a smile.
Xu Yong felt ashamed after hearing this.
Good guy, you are really adapting to local conditions.
However, they helped their alma mater win the first championship in school history. They would not refuse even if you wanted to move the entire dormitory, let alone a mattress.
"Would you like to move yours over?" Harden then asked.
Xu Yong shook his head. He was not as delicate as Harden.
The next day, the four millionaires were moving mattresses again...
Xu Yong finally knew why Harden wanted to move. The original mattress in this rental house was too soft. This was a good thing for ordinary people. For people of their size, it felt like sleeping in a sponge. , my waist can’t stand it when I wake up in the morning.
Time passed little by little during their training.
Xu Yong's back body finally looks good.
Of course, DeRozan was also training with him.
Last time it was Xu Yong who had sex with him for free, this time it was his turn to have sex with Xu Yong for free.
DeRozan has also proven that he is a high-quality diamond. After understanding the use of the pivot foot, he no longer sticks to poor imitation and has made rapid progress.
It was while they were training that Sandek returned to Tempe.
After a summer of hard work, he successfully brought back Jimmy Butler.
Looking at the green faces, he suddenly realized a problem as it was just a temporary idea.
In history, Butler also went to the Bulls, 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 first serve as a football supervisor for a year, so it is hard to say what the future development will be.
But let’s not talk about the future, let’s talk about the present. Butler came at the right time.
Because Cooksix is not here, they have one less defensive tool.
Butler: Excited.jpg.
And just after bringing Butler back, Sandek had a few more words with Xu Yong.
He is planning to go to China to inspect players.
Xu Yong's success made their school start to pay attention to Chinese players.
Just like looking for the next Jordan, they also hope to find the next Seo Yong if given the chance.
Xu Yong was naturally very happy to hear this.
Because compared to one-sided expectations, the effect of this two-way rush will naturally be better.
He is also looking forward to the results of Sandek's inspection. There are actually a lot of good prospects in the country at this stage. If he can really bring one over, it can be regarded as exploring the path in advance for the idea he discussed with Yao Ming before.
It was also at this time that Yao Ming called him.
He still decided to return to China to play in the Asian Championships.
"I was trained by the country. When the country needs me, I must step up."
Yao Ming's words are very realistic. This is not only because of his sense of honor, but more importantly because he is a player who has come out of the system.
As he said, he was trained by the country, and the national basketball team represents this country's basketball team.
"But I think what you said is right. I will communicate with the people above. They always need us to win the World Cup and Olympic Games well."
Yao Ming then said some very meaningful words.
Xu Yongneng could tell that although Yao Ming didn't listen to his advice, he still agreed with his idea.
In other words, he agreed with the idea of 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.
…
Time flies to late August.
Yao Ming returned to the United States after helping the men's basketball team win the Asian Championship.
Sandek came with Yao Ming, and they also brought another person.
A tall and lanky monster with a long wingspan.
16-year-old Zhou Qi still has many acne on her face.
The current Zhou Qi will definitely not be able to play in the NCAA regardless of his age or physical condition, but in China, basically all those who have passed this age will join the system.
So this time he came to the United States, Yao Ming played a big role in it, and he was planning to follow Xu Yong's old path, first play high school, and then strive to enter the NCAA.
However, like Xu Yongyong, 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.
It was at this time that Xu Yong and the others were ready to leave Tempe.
Generally speaking, training camps for each team will start in mid-September.
Newcomers like them naturally have to arrive earlier.
This morning, they packed their bags and prepared to go their separate 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.
Xu Yong bought this in advance in Chicago's Chinatown before he left.
"James, this is used to make 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 bracelet and observed it for a while before eagerly putting it on. After putting it on and shaking it, he smiled, and then reached out and gave Xu Yong a tight hug.
This gift is related to his nickname, Xu Yong really paid attention to it.
At this time, DeRozan also observed the gift Xu Yong gave him. It was a baby's bobblehead doll, which looked very happy and made people want to laugh just looking at it.
"DeMar, I hope you can be happy every day." After hugging Harden, Xu Yong took the initiative to reach out to DeRozan and give him a hug.
DeRozan didn't speak, but hugged Xu Yong tightly.
Xu Yong could always make him feel warm from time to time.
Ayers received 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 something amazing." Xu Yong finally looked at Ayers and said.
Among the four of them, Ayers has the least presence.
Even before his rebirth, Xu Yong's understanding of Ayers was limited to the scene where he cried after a sluggish performance in the latter part of his career and was helped off the field by Duncan.gif.
With Ayers' talent, he is destined to be just a role player in the NBA. Maybe that scenario will inevitably happen.
But at least what is different from history is that they have climbed to the highest point in the NCAA and enjoyed the scenery at the highest point.
"Thank you, Xu." Ayres also hugged Xu Yong forcefully.
This was a very meaningful gift to him.
"Have a good trip, guys."
"The same to you."
After giving away the gifts, they waved goodbye and finally set off on their own journeys.
