"Congratulations to the host whose strength has increased from 89 to 90. It has reached the top level."
"Congratulations on the host's explosive power increasing from 90 to 91."
When the time came to July 17, Li Ao’s strength training in the afternoon ended, and the system prompt came!
After 7 weeks of hard work, I finally improved my strength to the top level!
He went to the bathroom, took off his 'macho pressure garment' and looked at himself in the mirror.
Compared to when I weighed 93-94 kg when I played in the summer league in July last year, my muscle circumference is obviously much larger, but the overall shape is very well-proportioned and the muscle lines are smooth... It is light and breathable to help wick away sweat. This macho pressure garment is worth having!
"Name: Li Ao.
Age: 19 years old (August 1, 1981).
Height: 203 cm, wingspan: 227 cm.
Weight: 104.6 kg.
Overall rating: 81.
Physical fitness: Speed 92 (92 explosive acceleration), 90 strength (91 explosive power), 88 jumping (93 bullet speed), 92 flexibility, 92 physical strength..."
In the past 7 weeks, with the help of his trainer and nutritionist, he gained 10 pounds, and the results of his strength training were also significant.
The biggest improvement is not static strength, but explosive strength, which has been increased from 89 to 91.
Explosive confrontation is finally better than static confrontation!
The starting point has also been increased to 92, and the bounce and bullet speed have been increased by 1 point each.
But there are also some decreases. Speed and flexibility have dropped a little as the weight has increased. This weight gain of more than 4 kilograms has a greater impact on the evaluation of speed and flexibility than the 6 kilogram gain last summer. But if you add it all up, if you gain 10 kilograms of weight, your speed will only decrease a little, and your flexibility will decrease by 3 points, that's pretty good.
Basic basketball skills have also been affected by gaining weight and muscle. Fortunately, the basic skills are good enough and the impact is not great. You can just adapt again after the promotional activities are over.
Li Ao read the evaluation of physical fitness again. He is also a man with good physical fitness.
Now only the bounce is not at the top, he is looking forward to doing a few missions next season to get some basic attribute points or advanced attribute points to improve the bounce.
He is still in the midst of promotional activities. He just arrived in Magic City, the last stop of this promotional event, this morning. He will participate in the last promotional event for new sneakers tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon he will participate in a campus basketball promotion event held by a local TV station.
The day after tomorrow, I will participate in the Spider-Man VS Big Shark event at the Court Terrace... The Big Shark refers to the Oriental Sharks Basketball Club in the Magic City.
When Li Ao first saw the name of this event, he complained wildly - Yang Ma, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, also does this kind of stunt.
But he was looking forward to meeting that one.
…
The next morning, Li Ao successfully concluded this year's four-stop domestic sneaker promotion event.
At noon, Li Ao had lunch with Air-SpiderMan series project manager Billy Knight, agent Schwartz, domestic publicity head Xu Jicheng, domestic business head Tu Ziming and others to celebrate the successful completion of this publicity event.
Tu Ziming is an employee of IMG Entertainment in the Asia-Pacific region and is a native of Shanghai. In 1995, he participated in the A-A work project jointly established by IMG and the Blue Association. In 1988, he participated in the establishment of the college basketball league of Tottenham. The project he participated in was to solicit sponsorship. Proficient in Chinese, English and Japanese, with rich work experience, after Li Ao demonstrated his business value, IMG Entertainment transferred this senior employee to Schwartz's working group to be responsible for Li Ao's domestic business contacts.
Xu Jicheng also became a member of Li Ao's agent team and participated in Li Ao's domestic promotion.
After the All-Star Weekend, when Schwartz suggested that Li Ao sign Xu Jicheng, Li Ao was surprised. How could the director of the sports publicity department of Xinhua News Agency do such private work? However, he remembered that the future boss of the Blue Association seemed to have hinted at him, but he did not notice that the other party meant this at the time.
He also remembered that in the future, when information and communication technology develops and information dissemination becomes more convenient, he has seen many domestic reporters and commentators become agents of CBA foreign players. In the future, Marbury's agent will be the editor-in-chief of Sports Weekly and a well-known commentator. Member Yang Yi.
In terms of the domestic sports environment, language communication skills, social contacts, connections...there is really no one more suitable to serve as a sports agent than these people.
At Schwartz's suggestion, Li Ao extended an olive branch to Xu Jicheng, who immediately agreed.
Professionals are professionals. Tu Ziming and Xu Jicheng did a very good job in connecting this sneaker promotion event with other commercial activities, timing arrangements, and publicity and promotion. Don't let him worry about anything. Just do what he should do. .
The money was not wasted!
At home, Li Ao could finally have two drinks openly, but only two drinks. In the afternoon, he had to go to a local high school to participate in a basketball promotion event. He didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the children.
He is now participating in activities as a basketball player, and of course he wants to be a role model in this capacity.
Billy Knight drank a little too much. This time the work was over and he could take a short vacation.
After being drunk, Ratio Knight sighed: "As a manager, I may sound nice, but in fact, I'm just here to run errands. The design of sneakers is not my responsibility, and I have no part in publicity and marketing, but I have to do everything... Fortunately, this My boss this time is Leo. I’m not afraid of your anger. When I was transferred to your working group, I cried all night. I finally escaped from Garnett’s working group and came to you again... But I didn’t expect you. It's completely different from what I imagined. He's much easier to serve than him. I can't say enough about how friendly he is to the fans. He's a model idol, but he doesn't treat us as human beings at all..."
Li Ao knew that the position of project manager was not easy to do, and Billy Knight was too drunk to complain, so he didn't say anything, otherwise the other party might cry all night again...
He had heard that Garnett liked to act like a big star, but he didn't expect that the Wolf King could make the project manager cry himself to sleep every night. It was really... amazing!
In the afternoon, Li Ao skillfully completed the local TV station's campus basketball promotion activities. There were similar activities at each previous stop. He was very nervous the first time, but after two more times, he became familiar with it.
Another day passed, and on the morning of the 19th, Li Ao came to Luwan Stadium, the home stadium of the Sharks Club.
'Spider-Man vs. Shark' posters have been plastered all over the outside of the stadium, and his signboards are everywhere.
The driver drove into the underground parking lot, where a tall man was already waiting.
Seeing Li Ao get out of the car, Yao Ming took the initiative to greet him, but before he could introduce himself, the other party spoke first.
"Wow! You're taller than I thought!"
Yao Ming looked at the NBA Rookie King who raised his head in admiration and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Let’s introduce ourselves!
"Hello, Spider-Man, I'm..."
"I know, you are the little giant Yao Ming!"
little Giant? Yao Ming thought the nickname was good, but he responded honestly: "My nickname is not Little Giant."
"That's the Moving Great Wall!"
Yao Ming was also jealous of this nickname, but he still responded honestly: "No, the Great Mobile Wall is Battelle."
Li Ao stared at Yao Ming: ()
Just when Yao Ming felt his vest was itching after being looked at, the other party finally spoke again.
Li Ao asked: "Neither is the Little Giant, nor is the Moving Great Wall. Could it be that you are called the Big Bamboo Pole?"
Yao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Yes, people have called me big bamboo pole and telephone pole since I was a child, but you are also very tall, so you should be the same, right?"
Li Ao decisively denied: "No, no. I have grown so tall in the past three or four years because of my rapid physical growth. Before, I was just a little taller than most people."
Yao Ming was speechless.
There’s no need to deny such inconsequential things, okay?
This makes him look stupid!
However, Yao Ming suddenly discovered that the nervousness, anticipation, and uneasiness he felt before meeting Li Ao, as well as the restraint and embarrassment he felt when he first met Li Ao, were gone.
When he asked Wang Zhizhi what kind of person Li Ao was, his senior told him that Spider-Man was easy to get along with, but very annoying.
He had been confused before, how someone could be so easy to get along with and so annoying at the same time, but now he understood.
This is a social horror with full maturity level!
No, it’s here again. He is speechless and doesn’t know what to say. But Spider-Man is not embarrassed and takes the initiative to ask questions. He has to think about what to say at the beginning. Later, he doesn’t care whether it is the first time or not. He likes to answer. Ye answered, the strange feeling of meeting for the first time was completely gone.
While chatting, Yao Ming took Li Ao around the arena and visited the venue where the afternoon activities would be held.
Seeing Li Ao attracting onlookers wherever he goes, Yao Ming is very envious. He has been playing here for so long, and the staff in the arena have never been so excited.
Tired from shopping, the two sat down next to the court to rest for a while.
Li Ao suddenly thought of something and said: "Dayao, get up and open your hands!"
Yao Ming stood up and asked doubtfully: "What to do?"
"Let's compare our wingspan!"
Yao Ming was even more confused, but seeing Li Ao's expectant face, he opened his arms.
"Stretch out!"
Yao Ming did as he was told, stood at attention, stretched out his arms, and when he saw Li Ao also opened his arms... his eyes widened!
"Jiejiejiejiejiejie... I won!"
Yao Ming was stunned, looking at his arms, and then looking at Li Ao who jumped up and punched in celebration... He was really Spider-Man!
He's a little over 2.2 meters tall, but his wingspan is actually shorter than this guy who's just over 2 meters tall!
And it's obviously short, several centimeters!
A man's happiness is always simple, but the opposite is also true.
At this moment, Yao Ming's heart collapsed!
…
Yao Ming was in a state of despair all morning. Li Ao invited him to lunch at noon, but he had no appetite at all.
Before he could compete with Spider-Man on the court, Yao Ming suffered a heavy blow in advance.
And he can never turn defeat into victory in this matter!
Finally, at two o'clock in the afternoon, after the cameras on the court began filming, Yao Ming finally got up and was about to go on TV!
The event went well, mainly interviews.
The 'showdown' between Li Ao and Yao Ming was just about shooting, passing, dunking, and shooting some material.
The people at Chaotingtai knew the strength of domestic and foreign players, so they called Hu Weidong from the national team, and they were able to compete with Li Ao. However, the Sharks' outside players were worried that it would become Li Ao's stealing show.
At the end of the two-hour event, Li Ao followed Yao Ming to the lounge. The two weeks of business activities were finally over. He completely relaxed and collapsed on the sofa.
Yao Ming saw that Li Ao was not sitting still. It was so... so comfortable that he also slumped down.
Li Ao rested for a while and asked: "Dayao, you must be in the NBA next year, right?"
Yao Ming responded without hesitation: "Yes, I will play for one more year, win the championship, and then go to the NBA. I will definitely be selected."
"Then definitely, Chandler has entered the NBA, your pick must be higher than him."
Yao Ming, who was so confident just now, was instantly embarrassed.
He feels that he is confident that he can enter the NBA because Chandler is right, but he is the second overall pick! Higher than the second pick?
That year, he participated in Hook's peak training camp for high school students. In the training match, he met Chandler, the sixth five-star high school student in the United States. He was very excited and went all out. As a result, he accidentally beat the opponent so that he did not dare to play in the second half. .
The scene was extremely tragic. In the first half, Chandler played 15 minutes and only got 3 rebounds, was blocked 5 times, and was dunked 8 times...
After that, NBA scouts often came to watch whether he participated in international competitions or club competitions.
But he was more surprised. He asked: "You think so highly of me?"
"Of course, with the mobility you just showed, no player over 220 centimeters tall is better than you, not even Sabonis. Let alone players over 220 centimeters tall. There are not many players in the NBA who are over 215 centimeters taller than you. Quick, you can't use O'Neal as a reference..."
Yao Ming wanted to say, "I'm not comparing O'Neal, I'm not stupid," but he didn't.
Li Ao continued: "Your shooting is also very good, and your dribbling and turning movements are better than many inside players in the NBA. Unless the owner of the team that gets the No. 1 pick is caught in the door, they will choose you. In fact, you are participating this year. I think the old man from the Grizzlies will also trade you with the No. 1 pick."
Hearing Li Ao's words, Yao Ming became more confident and began to look forward to next year's draft.
But even if Li Ao said that he could become the number one pick this year, he would not regret not running for the election.
In this year's CBA finals, although he won the FMVP, he lost to Wang Zhizhi again. He wanted to win the CBA championship, otherwise he would always have a knot in his heart.
After resting for a while, Yao Ming sent Li Ao to the airport. Li Ao hadn't seen his aunt and parents for a while. After work, he couldn't wait to fly back to the imperial capital.
He will stay in China for a while and wait until his 20th birthday before going to Los Angeles.
Every day he talked on the phone with the hospital assistant's aunt, and when he learned how sullen his mother was when she came home, he was speechless and a little proud at the same time.
My mother developed many copies of all the photos she took in the United States, and would give one to relatives and friends when they came to show off, overtly or covertly, that her family was promising.
He didn't know what others thought, but in his world view, he felt that it was something that he was very proud of, making his parents proud of him and using him as a means of showing off.
But as soon as he returned to his small courtyard around 9 p.m., he was dumbfounded.
His hospital assistant aunt came to the imperial capital for two weeks, and how did she become a Northeastern girl? A floral white shirt, embroidered shoes, two braids...a bit earthy, but very pretty!
