Start without the ball

Chapter 194 Story
On January 19, 1, Oklahoma City.

Li Haoyu finally completed the whole set of [Master Pengci's training]. Just as he was about to exit the space, Ju Miao trotted over with his chubby Corgi buttocks, and looked at Li Haoyu with his watery Kazilan's big eyes.

Li Haoyu picked up Orange Meow and asked:

"You seem to be in trouble, what's the matter?"

Orange Miao: "Master, can you take me to the present world? It's too lonely for me to stay here alone. I promise not to make noise, and I will never talk when outsiders are around. I can also help you run errands and buy things. Please be spicy."

Li Haoyu: "Can you bring your own dog certificate?"

Ju Miao said excitedly: "Yes, the system has arranged a small dog certificate case, absolutely no problem."

Li Haoyu rubbed Orange Meow's dog's head and said:
"Okay, for the sake of the auxiliary training you've been doing so hard, it's a little unreasonable for me to keep you in the space, but you must be good, and you must not talk when there are others present, do you hear me?"

Orange Meow: "No problem, no problem, I can detect whether there are people around, master, you just need to exit the space."

Li Haoyu exited the space and appeared in his bedroom, with Jumiao's dog certificate in his hand, and after landing on the ground, Jumiao jumped excitedly towards Li Haoyu's bed.

"Hey, are you shedding hair?"

Orange Meow: "Of course I don't shed hair, master, don't worry, I'm full of good things."

Now Li Haoyu is relieved, as long as Ju Miao doesn't make trouble, Li Haoyu finished training and lay on the sofa to watch a movie together, when Duffy called.

"Lee, Nike has made a move!"

Li Haoyu: "Are you finally willing to make a move? What's the price?"

Duffy: "5 million in 6000 years! They have shown enough sincerity."

5 million in 6000 years. You must know that Reebok offered Yao Ming a contract of 03 million in 7 years in 5000. Considering inflation, Li Haoyu’s contract is not worth as much as Yao Ming’s sneaker contract, but Yao Ming is the top pick in the draft. For Li Haoyu, an undrafted pick, it was pretty good.

However, Li Haoyu knows his own potential. Signing this contract is undoubtedly a cheap sale of youth. After thinking for a while, Li Haoyu and Duffy said:

"Bill, although this contract is good, it still did not meet my psychological expectations."

Duffy didn't expect Li Haoyu to refuse, saying:
"Man, this contract is not bad. You have to know that the undrafted pick can get 5 million Nike for five years, which is quite sincere."

Li Haoyu: "Sometimes losing the draft is not necessarily a derogatory term. Maybe there is an inspirational story behind it? You know what I mean."

One word awakened the dreamer, Duffy: "Dude, I understand! Wait a few days, I'll make arrangements now."

Duffy hung up Li Haoyu's phone and contacted a literary film shooting team, and he decided to make a good job of it.

I brought the film crew to Philadelphia, and to the University of Pennsylvania where Li Haoyu lived for 4 years.

"Do you know Lee?"

"Lee? You mean the basketball maniac? The guy who works out all day? Oh, I know him too well. The maniac is training when we play games. The maniac is training when we have dinner. in training.

Once I asked him on the basketball court, Li, don’t practice, you need to rest, besides, even if you can train day and night, you can’t make it to the NBA, you are too thin, guess what he said?
He was still concentrating on training and shooting, and said without looking back, it is not others who can decide whether I can enter the NBA, but myself, and I have a clear conscience.

I was thinking that he was really crazy at the time, but now it seems that all his efforts are worthwhile. He has not only scored in the NBA, but is also one of the starters of the Western Conference Thunder. Going for Rookie of the Year, oh god, that's crazy. "

In addition to Li Haoyu's classmates, Duffy also found the coach of the Pennsylvania basketball team --- Donahue.

"Can you talk about Lee?"

"From the first day he came to the team, he was very special. At that time, he was very thin. I didn't dare to let him participate in confrontation training. I was afraid that my strong players would knock him apart. The ace small forward in the team would laugh at him. He, tell him to go back to China, this is not a place he can adapt to.

Li stood up and said that he was going to single out with the ace small forward, bro, you don’t know how strong my small forward is, with a height of 202cm and a weight of 101kg, he is simply a strong bull in our team. I thought Lee was going to fail miserably.

What I didn't expect was that Hua Guoli, who was not tall, fast, and not strong, used his own shooting, his own rhythm, and his unparalleled basketball IQ to rub my ace small forward on the ground, scoring 12 Compared to 3, my ace small forward completely lost to Lee
Since then, I've noticed Lee, who works late every day, is known for being a court rat, and he's a leader on the court, a true locker room leader.

Under his leadership, we have become more and more united. Last year, because of Li's outstanding performance, we entered the NCAA National Top 11 baby after 64 years. That was the top 64!
But in the first national championship game, we met Duke University, which was in full swing, and we fell behind by 24 points in the first half. The whole team was afraid under the pressure of Duke. Another shot hit Duke's heart. Relying on his excellent performance in the second half, we once chased the score to 6 points, but the gap in the lineup was still too large, and we eventually lost the game.

Lee, who lost the game, cried on the court. This was his last year in the NCAA, and it was also the last time he played for Penn. He cried very sadly. He was so persistent in winning. I saw his Unwilling.

I went up to him and told him, young man, your path is just beginning, take heart.

Then he signed up for the NBA draft, and I thought he would be picked in at least the second round, but you know, in this country, a lot of people look at his identity with colored glasses, and a lot of scouts see his strengths, outstanding Excellent shot, perfect IQ, but those arrogant idiots put a microscope on his flaws after considering who he is, and in the end he didn't get drafted.

The period after losing the election should be his darkest period. You have to know that a young man who loves basketball and yearns for victory came to this country for his own dream, but lost due to objective reasons. This blow is undoubtedly heavy.

I couldn't bear to see such an outstanding young man's dream being trampled on. I helped him connect with the opportunity of the summer league. I cried, this kid did it, and he finally got the coveted NBA ticket with his performance.

What surprised me even more is that he didn't stop there, and continued to write his own story in the NBA.

In the first game against the defending champion Golden State Warriors, he used his efficient three-pointers to turn the tide in a short period of time and recovered nearly 20 points. When the core of the team was injured one after another, he stood up , a wave of 8 wins and 5 losses stabilized the situation. You must know that the vast majority of these 13 games were all powerful players.

He is never proud, always holds a humble heart, and is not afraid of anyone on the court. He can make a winning 3+1 in front of FMVP Kevin Durant, and he can also boo in Portland Acoustic lore opponent, and this is just the beginning.

I am proud of myself for having coached such a player! "
