I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 85 The Call from the Giant

At noon the next day, after Li Yang bid farewell to his parents, he took his assistant Selena and hurried on the flight to the capital together.

Looking at the clouds outside the window, Li Yang was suddenly in a trance, so he entered the national team?I was both excited and nervous.

No one knows how much cold stare and ridicule he has endured, how much effort and sweat he has put in to realize his basketball dream, and now he has finally got his wish and entered the coveted national team. It is conceivable how excited and excited he is.

Li Yang cherishes this rare trip to the national team. For him, joining the national team is a very important stop in his basketball career. Whether his future basketball journey will be smooth depends on his performance this time.

This trip to the capital, waiting for him will be a severe double test, not only the test from the national team, but also the upcoming trip to the Asian Games in Jakarta.

Whether you can become famous all over the world depends on whether you can grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ! !
After more than 3 hours of bumpy sailing, Li and Yang finally arrived at the Capital International Airport.Then the two of them took a taxi non-stop and rushed to the Sports Center of the Basketball Association.

"Welcome, Li Yang!" Coach Li Nan stood at the door and came out to greet Li and Yang in person, which shows how much he attaches importance to Li Yang.

"Hello, Director Li, I finally met the real person. It's really hard work for you, and you even stood at the door to receive me, what a brat!"

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, you are worth waiting for me." Coach Li Nan patted Li Yang's shoulder with a smile.

Li Yang went on to say: "I never expected that I would be so honored to join the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team! You know that although I am a professional basketball player, I feel that my ability still needs to be improved. I hope that in the next period of time, Director Li will not hesitate to teach me and pass it on!"

"Okay, let's not stand here and talk about business. In fact, the one who really wants to see you is Chairman Yao. He has been waiting in the office for a long time. I am just a guide. Let's go to the office first." Li Nan said with a smile, and then walked in front to really start the work of leading the way.

"Director Li, I don't know why Chairman Yao called me, what is it?" Li Yangyou blinked and asked Li Nan curiously.

"Okay, don't ask so many questions, you kid, you'll know soon!" Director Li didn't care what Li Yang said, with that half-smile expression on his face, he kept his mouth shut, a little unpredictable.

"Okay, it's so mysterious, I don't need to ask more questions." Li Yang smiled dryly, touched his nose guilty, and only realized after touching that he didn't do anything wrong, so there's nothing to be guilty of.

Li Nan invited Li Yang into the office. In the office, Chairman Yao sat upright with his back to the door, holding a report in his hand, frowning, as if he was thinking about something important.

Li Yang's breathing was a bit cramped, and he didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of interrupting the other party's thoughts.

Seeing this situation, Coach Li Nan patted Li Yang on the shoulder encouragingly, and then pretended to cough, reminding Li Yang to go and say hello to Yao Ming.

So Li Yang walked up to Yao Ming, although he had watched it countless times in front of the TV, but when he actually saw Yao Ming, Li Yang still felt his eyes were moist and very excited.

This is a great monument in the history of Chinese basketball, a legend of Chinese basketball.

He is diligent, low-key, and unpretentious. He is alone on the highest stage of world basketball and strives to make a voice that belongs to China.

He has driven a basketball boom in China. Without Yao Ming, the NBA's influence in China would definitely drop a lot.

Li Yang suddenly found that facing his idol, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Li Yang, nice to meet you. You play well! I watched some videos of you playing, it's great, come on!" Yao Ming took the initiative to get up and hugged Li Yang.

Li Yang hesitated for a while, not knowing how to address Yao Ming, and finally could only bite the bullet and say: "Thank you, Yao... Chairman Yao."

"Calling the chairman is too natural, just call Yao brother!" Yao Ming patted Li Yang on the shoulder very accommodatingly, and smiled heartily.

Coach Li Nan on the side was very surprised that Yao Ming showed such an expression. You must know that since Yao Ming became the chairman of the Basketball Association in 2017, it is very rare for Yao Ming to have such a hearty smile.

You must know that Yao Ming's road to reform has a long way to go. In the process, the interests of many people have been touched. Opponents have existed for quite a while, and his reform road has suffered unprecedented difficulties and pressure.

Of course Yao Ming was happy, especially when he saw the muscles of the boy opposite him. It seemed that he had practiced a lot in the United States!

"How do you feel about the summer league? Are you still used to the basic necessities of life in the United States? How is your English?" Yao Ming asked with concern.

"Fortunately, Coach Natalie is a good coach, she is quite pampering to me. The food is not bad, I can eat five or six hamburgers for a meal, and there is no problem with English for the time being." Li Yang replied one by one with a smile.

Yao Ming nodded. Li Yang's personality is very optimistic, which is the exact opposite of Yao Ming, but Yao Ming doesn't think such a personality is bad. Zhou Qi is just too boring. Although Yao Ming is very honest, Yao Ming is also very humorous when he is interviewed by the American media.

And Yao Ming once threw a towel angrily because he was dissatisfied with the referee's decision. Being low-key doesn't mean I let you bully me. Being honest is not synonymous with being stupid.

In order to test Li Yang's English, some conversations between Yao Ming and Li Yang will be done in English.

The level of English is good, much better than Zhou Qi's. Although Zhou Qi's English has improved rapidly, he is not as comfortable as Li Yang in communicating, and Li Yang obviously understands some jokes in the United States.

Hey, after this season, I don't know if Zhou Qi can continue in the NBA in the future.

Yao Ming knew in his heart that Zhou Qi's style was too simple, physical talent? There are a lot of physically gifted players in the NBA. If you want to gain a foothold in this league, you must have your own signature.

Li Yang's personality is very good, maybe he can play a lot better than him.

"Are you confused, why did I defy all opinions and choose to let you join the national team?"

"That's why I like you!" Yao Ming clicked on a video on the computer desktop.

"This is the one-on-one video of you and Wade. I can see that your speed is very fast, your jumping is very good, you are good at three-pointers, and you are also very good at running without the ball. You also know how to break through. Your physical talent is simply not inferior to ordinary black guards."

"Your dribbling and breakthrough are very professional. From the perspective of technical movements, you have completely reached the level of the main point guard in the NBA. No wonder the outside world says you are a genius. In just a few months, you can have this level of dribbling and breakthrough. Only a genius can do it." Yao Ming sighed.

"Thank you for your compliment. I didn't expect myself to be so good. I admire myself a little bit after what you said." Li Yang said with a proud face, that expression was really stinky.

"That's why I invited you, I hope you won't let me down."

"Thank you Brother Yao for your trust, I will work hard!" Li Yang thought for half a minute, and then said: "Brother Yao, I want to make sure first. If I enter the national team, what position do you plan to give me?"

"I need your organization and scoring ability!" Yao Ming organized his words, and then said: "I need a super three-point attacker who can provide outside offensive firepower when the team needs it."

"At the same time, he is also an assaulter. He can use his speed to tear apart the opponent's defense and attack the basket. It would be even better if he can break through and pass the ball, so that he can pass the ball to the outside or pass to the basket."

"All in all, it is a backcourt engine that can score and organize the team's offense, preferably with a strong defensive ability."

"It sounds a bit difficult, but I think I should be able to do it." Li Yang replied confidently.

"Really, so confident?" Yao Ming widened his eyes in surprise, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm not questioning your ability, but I didn't expect you to break through the ball."

"These are not problems. I think my passing skills have improved a lot. After the season starts, I might be able to participate in the NBA skill competition!" Li Yang said with a smile.

Yao Ming didn't pay attention to Li Yang's words. He took it as a joke. He didn't know whether it was a mule or a horse until he took it out for a walk. He was going to test Li Yang's real ability on the spot.
