I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 39 Locke Park Check-In
After the Clippers' trial training, there are still seven days before the draft. This time, Bill Duffy is not with Li Yang. After officially serving as Li Yang's agent, he still needs to do a lot of preparations for the upcoming draft. All these tasks need to be completed in the office, so he can only temporarily stay in his office.

Li Yang went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and then got on the plane to New York alone. He was going to the street basketball temple in everyone's heart - Rock Park, and took a walk.The flight this time was smooth, and nothing bloody happened along the way.

Rock Park, located on 155th Street in Harlem, New York, adjacent to Frederick Douglass Avenue.Locke Park is not a park in the general sense. For those who are obsessed with black culture, New York culture and even American culture, this is a must-see place.

While some in the NBA dismissively refer to the Rock League as "playground basketball," the dizzying crotch dribbles, creative passes, explosive slam dunks and flawless lobs are intoxicating and have shaped the NBA for years.

Thinking back to the summer of 2003, it came a little later than before, and the Lakers had just won three consecutive championships.

The high-spirited Kobe came to Rock Park at that time. Before the game, he said unabashedly that he would break the record of 74 points in a single game created by "Destroyer" Hormond at Rock Park.

But after fighting with the local street players, Kobe was completely confused. He was still too young. He only scored 14 points in the first half, but the second half was canceled due to heavy rain, and the result was nothing.Since then, Kobe's wild words have become a complete joke in Rock Park.

Locke Park is the destination of Li Yang's trip to New York.

It was already noon when Li Yang got off the plane. He had a quick lunch and then took a nap to recover his strength. He didn't go to Rock Park alone until the afternoon.

With the end of the NBA regular season, more and more professional players poured into the Rock Park, and the Rock Park in the evening has begun to be full of people.

After he arrived, he went directly to the main stadium of Locke Park. If he came to such a holy place, if he hadn't been to the main stadium, it would really be a waste of time.

Walking into this magical basketball court, I saw a very refreshing, red and green basketball court. The stands on the side of the court are not big, only about 20 meters long, and the entire stand is filled with two to three hundred people. But whenever a wonderful game comes, there will always be five or six hundred fans, or even thousands of fans.

People in Harlem like to watch Locke's streetball. If there are stars participating in the game, they must come to the arena very early. Even if they come two hours in advance, they will not be able to occupy a seat in the arena.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yang approached the arena, he heard a burst of shouts like a tsunami coming from inside the arena.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the stadium, Li Yang immediately felt the difference. The inside of the gate and the outside of the gate were completely different. There were crowds of people around the stadium, shouts came and went, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

Li Yang exhausted his prehistoric strength and finally squeezed into the center of the crowd. With his height, he couldn't take advantage of anything, and he could barely see the duel on the field. It can be seen that the surroundings are basically basketball players (heighter than him).

At this time, there were two streetball teams playing on the field, but not all of them were streetball players. There were also some NBA players, such as Anthony, Oladipo, and Okafor.

On the field, the streetball defender's dribbling was dazzling, and he suddenly threw the ball into the air. A two-meter-tall inside big center suddenly broke out from the right side and jumped directly to face Okafor.

"Wow! Alley-oop!!" The DJ on the scene shouted exaggeratedly, and immediately afterward, the whole stadium also cheered.

Okafor under the basket unfortunately became the background wall.

The street player on the opposite side waved his hands excitedly, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became more heated.

In this atmosphere, Li Yang couldn't stop his blood boiling.

At this moment, Okafor faced the big center who had dunked him before, and made a strong counterattack with his back. After scoring, he was still swearing and clamoring.

This time, the fans on the sidelines were completely annoyed, and the scene was booed even more.

The game on the court did not stop because of Okafor's chatter. The opponent's guards made exaggerated changes of direction and pulled the bar to layup once again detonated the court.

Li Yang couldn't help applauding, at this moment, he suddenly found an acquaintance in the crowd not far away.

Sexton, this rival who participated in the Cavaliers trial with him, actually came to Rock Park. It can be said that life does not meet.

Seeing Sexton, the corners of Li Yang's mouth raised unconsciously. Although he was an opponent, since he met, he naturally had to say hello, otherwise others would think he was cowardly.

He looked around and tried to squeeze in where Sexton was.That's right, you can only rely on your body to squeeze and walk, and there are walls of human flesh everywhere.

Li Yang realized that this was not an easy task. There were excited and shouting fans all around him, and he was sweating every step he took.

"Professor!!"

At this time, suddenly most of the stadium shouted loudly, and in such a noisy environment, it was unprecedentedly neat, and everyone turned their heads to look at one end of the stadium.

Li Yang stopped involuntarily and followed the gazes of other people, because he was far away, and he couldn't see who was coming.But judging from the expressions of everyone around him, he should be a very powerful streetball player. Isn't this the scene where big shots appear in movies?

Just when Li Yang was extremely puzzled, the boss finally walked to the center of the court. Only then did he see the opponent clearly, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation in his heart. It really was the boss, but he didn't expect it to be him!

In the Rock Park battle of AND 1 MixTape tour, Boucher’s performance completely conquered streetball legend Duke Tango. Since then, Tango has called Boucher a “professor” on the court, saying that his dribbling can be used to teach others like a textbook. Since then, everyone has called him a “professor”.

He and Larry Williams (the bone collector) are collectively called the "black and white double evil" of the American streetball circle.

He is the most famous streetball player in AND1. His gorgeous style of play, super rhythm control and his unique funny style have made many NBA stars love him. Jeremy Lin is his most loyal little fan.

When the professor actually stepped onto the field, the game on the court stopped consciously. He didn't make any moves, and the atmosphere on the scene was already ignited. Even Wade and James, who had been sitting on the sidelines, got up and greeted them.

The professor didn't speak, just waved to the audience, and then sat on the sidelines with Wade and the others.

The game on the field continued, but because of the arrival of the professor, the atmosphere on the scene was at the peak of explosion, and a person around him seemed to be on a stimulant, and he was extremely high.

This time, Li Yang struggled even more.

He shook his head helplessly, and simply gave up the idea of ​​saying hello, and looked at the field again, appreciating this rare streetball feast again.

Not long after the game was played, boos suddenly broke out again. It turned out that Okafor relied on his physical fitness to attack the basket and scored another goal.

The audience on the sidelines obviously didn't buy it and didn't like this unpretentious offensive method, so as soon as he attacked, the scene was immediately booed.

Okafor was so pissed off, he also got on the bar at this time, still going his own way, the more you boo, the more I will do it.

This time, the fans at the scene completely quit and asked him to end the game and make substitutions.

At this moment, someone yelled "We want to see the professor", and this sentence spread throughout the stadium like a curse.

With the expectation of many fans at the scene, the professor and Wade finally played together and joined the first team respectively, presenting a wonderful game for the fans.

The professor also lived up to expectations. After playing, several dazzling crotch dribbles, the speed and the smoothness of the movement, made people dazzled and excited.

He accelerated sharply and cut to the left.

Opposing him is Wade. Wade's stealing ability is also top-notch in the NBA. Although it has declined with age, it is still not to be underestimated.

Wade's shot was perfect, and it looked like he was going to steal, but at this moment, the professor used his signature trick to dribble behind his back, avoiding Wade's upperhand.

The basketball just disappeared in front of Wade's eyes, and the left side was cleared at this time. Wade couldn't come back for a while due to too much stealing. The professor directly made a standard three-step layup and scored easily.

The professor's signature move, dribbling behind the back with fake bottom line!

"Professor!!"

The fans at the scene were all crazy, and they once again witnessed the professor's signature stunt.

Although Wade failed in the steal, he wasn't depressed at all. After landing, he smiled and gave the professor a thumbs up.

In the next few rounds, Wade finally showed his power, relying on his signature stunt Mi Zongbu to show his power, contributing several wonderful dunks one after another.

After half an hour, this exciting game finally came to an end.

Fans frantically flocked to the stadium, wanting to get close to their idols, so they surrounded the professor completely. This is the charm of streetball, and this is the treatment that streetball masters deserve.
