NBA peak Jordan template

Chapter 6 I Dreamed of Killing You
The next day.

06:30 in the morning.

Zheng Long got up on time to wash up.

A routine early shower is essential.

Hot water can quickly wake up every cell in the body in a cold morning.

Five years.

Since getting the system.

Zheng Long has insisted on waking up at this moment for five years.

Head to the field to start training.

At first it was after getting the peak Jordan template.

Continuous training is required to accelerate fusion.

later.

It became a habit.

Even at the beginning of the Achilles tendon rupture, the period when I was lying on the hospital bed.

Zheng Long will also get used to waking up at this point.

A biological clock has been developed.

Boom. Boom. Boom

Zheng Long tentatively knocked on Ingram's door twice.

Ready to take this kid to train together.

Guided by the way.

For Ingram, Zheng Long actually has a good impression.

this kid.

My mind is full of basketball.

Simple temperament.

Simple minded.

Reminiscent of his talent.

Zheng Long really has the meaning of cultivating and cultivating.

after all.

Didn't Jordan still have Pippen and Rodman by his side back then?
As for the rest of the Lakers.

Let's see and talk.

pity.

Knocked on the door for a long time.

Nothing happened.

sleep so deadly?
Think no more.

Zheng Long changed his jersey, put on a sweater jacket, and went out.

Came to the gate of the arena.

open the door.

But I saw a figure already in the arena.

Practice shooting.

After seeing who it is.

Zheng Long couldn't help showing a smile.

It turned out to be Brandon Ingram!

Damn.

I thought this kid was still sound asleep.

It turned out that this kid actually got up earlier than himself!

Hardworking teammates.

How can people not like it?
"Brandon, come on, let me give you a lesson and let's look at free throws first."

"what?"

"Why, look down on me?"

"no!"

"Take ten free throws first, let me see."

Ingram looked like he was about to cry but had no tears.

Talk to Zheng Long.

How come there is always a feeling that I am a younger brother!
At first, Ingram thought that Zheng Long was just joking, how can a rookie guide a rookie to practice free throws.

With Zheng Long pointing out his own problems straight to the point.

He also continued to give extremely practical suggestions, as well as his own technical problems with free throws.

Even more professional than the coaches in college!

It was only then that Ingram realized that Zheng Long wanted to impart all his real materials without reservation!

"Long, you are so kind!"

In the face of Ingram's sudden sensation.

A black line appeared on Zheng Long's forehead.

"Are you still practicing?"

"practice!"

soon.

The sound of a basketball slapping.

It echoed again in the early morning Lakers training arena.

And Zheng Long's stern guidance voice.

"The shot is too slow! The movement is not smooth! The arc is too high!"

seven days later.

The NBA Summer League is officially underway!
Unlike the main game, the summer league usually only participates in rookies or some trial players.

This also leads to general attention.

but.

Lakers vs. Rockets game at UCLA Arena.

But it attracted a lot of attention.

The media reporters were all present.

All because of the name "Zheng Long"!
Just three days ago, Zheng Long, the No. 14 pick in [-], announced that he would participate in the summer league!
Two years!
Zheng Long!

Finally going to play again!

The summer league originally had only about 50% attendance.

this one.

Immediately full!

Scalpers who smelled business opportunities early made a fortune by reselling them at high prices!
UCLA Arena.

on the field.

The Lakers and Rockets players simply warmed up on the court.

The arena was packed.

There was a lot of discussion.

"The No. 14 pick in 15, the No. 16 pick in [-], and the No. [-] pick in [-], let alone the Summer League. Even in the history of the NBA, there aren't many lineups with the talent of the Lakers!"

"Zheng Long and Ingram are still worth seeing. Russell has proved that he is not worthy of his name last season!"

"I remember that Zheng Long had hair before, why did he become bald?"

"The bald head and squinting eyes are not easy to provoke, I like Zheng Long!"

"No matter how impressive Zheng Long University's performance is, in the past two years, he has not proved himself in the NBA."

"I'm a Lakers fan, and I'm panicking right now."

Almost all topics discussed.

It's all about Jung Long.

Among them were Lakers and Rockets fans, as well as some sports media reporters.

On the field.

Zheng Long simply stretched.

His eyes looked at the lineup sent by the Rockets intentionally or unintentionally.

Except for a few free agents on individual benches.

The rest are "old acquaintances".

well.

the other side.

Rockets players who are simply warming up.

He also looked at Zheng Long on the opposite side.

"That monkey with a broken leg really came to play in summer league."

"As soon as I saw his self-confident expression, I wanted to beat him up, and I must treat him to an elbow later."

"The outside world really regards him as the champion, only we know that he has long been a waste!"

On the sidelines, Rockets coach D'Antoni frowned.

Originally, it was an innocuous game like the Summer League.

You don't need to be there to teach yourself.

But after Zheng Long suddenly announced his participation three days ago, Morey found himself immediately.

"You went over to see what's going on."

"Even if the kid is a little normal."

"I don't want to see him do anything good either."

For Zheng Long's situation.

D'Antoni knows better than Morey.

After Achilles tendon recovery.

Zheng Long was terrible in training.

I can't jump high, run fast, or make shots.

Not to mention the NBA level.

High school students are not as good.

The Rockets at the time were not without speculation.

Zheng Long may be acting on purpose.

But every morning at 06:30.

You can see him training on time in the arena.

His performance contradicted his efforts.

In short, unable to play.

D'Antoni tried hard to get out of Zheng Long's warm-up action.

See something more.

Helplessly, Zheng Long's warm-up movements were too simple.

D'Antoni suddenly remembered.

A certain day a month ago.

Zheng Long suddenly approached the Rockets management.

Say your situation will get better soon.

Feel your body recovering.

But the Rockets had lost patience at the time.

Especially the general manager, Morey, has long been intolerable.

It's okay to rupture the Achilles tendon before.

The Achilles tendon is healed.

Still can't get on.

Then fuck off.

"That kid really thinks of himself as Jordan!"

"Jordan can come back to form quickly after playing baseball for two years!"

"What is that kid?"

In the matter of trading.

D'Antoni doesn't have much say.

The entire rocket is Morey's words.

In fact, before the deal between the Rockets and the Lakers was concluded.

Morey was ready when the Lakers discovered that Zheng Long was abnormal.

How to respond in the media and PR.

result.

After the transaction.

There was no movement from the Lakers.

Zheng Long also announced normally.

Will be playing in summer league.

This "strange".

Naturally, the sensitive Morey paid special attention to it.

As the general manager of the Rockets, Morey cares about maximizing the interests of the team.

Trade away a crap.

For the Lakers, it is injustice, but for the Rockets, it is loyalty.

However, if Zheng Long really returns to the level of the draft
That deal for the Rockets.

would be a joke.

of course.

In D'Antoni's view.

Zheng Long was able to return to the level of the draft.

More like a myth.

Is he mentally ill?
Deliberately playing a fool who doesn't know how to play.

Beep----

The referee blows the whistle.

Dragging the basketball to the middle circle.

The game is about to begin.

The Lakers and Rockets players have already taken positions on both sides of the court.

The jump ball players on both sides are Larry Nance of the Lakers and Montrezl Harrell of the Rockets.

Zheng Long saw Harrell.

Showed a friendly smile.

"How are you doing recently? Harrell."

Harrell obviously didn't expect Zheng Long to greet him with a smile.

It's not like this kid at all!

He replied not quite sure.

"I heard you right, are you greeting me, Zheng Long?"

Zheng Long nodded.

Shaking his head again.

"I'm saying hello to you, but you're not calling me right."

"what?"

"Privately, don't you always call me, monkey with a broken leg?"

"This thing."

"You don't think I don't know, do you?"

Zheng Long's smile has completely subsided.

His eyes are like knives.

"do you know?"

"In the past six months."

"I dreamed of killing you!"

The players around heard Zheng Long's words.

All were shocked.
