The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

"So, is this a genius..." Hibbert looked at Zuo Li who had proficiently completed various training requirements on the court and muttered to himself.

In the past three months, Hibbert has lost count of how many times he has made such an exclamation. Anyway, many are right, so many that this sentence has almost become his mantra now.

Oh, no, not just his, but the catchphrase of the entire orphanage, especially the basketball team.

The amount of training on the first day barely made Zuo Li sleepy for 8 hours, and after only 10 hours, Zuo Li stood on the court again, and this time, Hibbert's training was completely absorbed by Zuo Li, and Zuo Li After only 14 days, Zuo Li was able to complete the whole set of training perfectly, and even had enough energy to do another wave of [-] sets of switchbacks after the training.

"Coach, it's time to increase the amount of training."

When Zuo Li said these words to him calmly, Hibbert didn't know what kind of expression he had, but it must be very exciting. However, Hibbert was not dissatisfied at all, but nervous and excited, because, This time he might really meet a baby, Zuo Li is that kind of true genius player!

So Hibbert once again increased the amount of training. This time, the amount of training was enough to make more than 90% of the people on the streets of New York out of reach. Even many high school players could not bear this kind of training. It took a month to fully adapt to the training.

From that moment on, genius has been on the lips of Hibbert and all the children in the orphanage, and even younger children will use "monster" to describe Zuo Li. After all, it only takes three days to learn any moves. Tired Zuo Li, what is it if he is not a monster.

In three months, Hibbert increased the training content 6 times. By the time of 1998, the progress of Zuo Li was visible to the naked eye, and he could often be seen playing one-on-two or even one-on-three on the court.

If Jerry could rely on his experience to play a fight before, now he is no longer Zuo Li's opponent at all.

And he was gradually conquered by Zuo Li.

There is no way, the strength of the court is respected, and it is hard not to admire such a person every day when you stay by his side. In addition, Zuo Li briefly mentioned what happened before, and gave Jerry and others a lot of pointers during training. , Zuo Li became the most popular guy here.

And just two days after entering 98, Zuo Li silently completed the first dunk in his life under the watchful eyes of the Quan Welfare Institute.

Bang!

When the basketball exploded into the hoop and was left standing on the hoop, the entire orphanage was boiling, and Hibbert even slid and knelt on the concrete floor. Mr. Derek was dumbfounded. Does it hurt?

Pain is pain, but excitement is also really exciting.

The slam dunk by an 8-year-old child is unimaginable anywhere, but it happened so real in front of them, which proves one thing: geniuses are really born right in front of their eyes.

But Zuo Li was still calm, just waved his hand and continued his training, and in the following time, Zuo Li did not dunk again, and even in the subsequent training, Zuo Li did not dunk again, but used more differently. His layup skills disappointed the onlookers.

But Zuo Li has his own ideas, dunks are of course good, passion, shock, fans like to watch, but this is not the most important thing at the moment, on the contrary, he has seen many big men before, they are too dependent on dunks, but ignore When I was young, it was natural for me to polish my own skills, hello, me, hello, everyone, but when I was at the end of my career, I knew the pain of not having skills.

No, Master Huo.

So Zuo Li made a secret decision, before he honed his skills, he would never buckle if he could.

So the guys who expected Zuo Li to show off dunks in training are doomed to be disappointed, and Zuo Li's life continues to return to normal, every day except training is learning some basic knowledge, the basketball world outside is in full swing, and the afterglow of Mr. Joe is still shrouded Looking at the world, but Harlem has a taste of the quiet years.

And under such circumstances, a quiet and thoughtful trip changed Zuo Li's basketball path.

It was an afternoon in February. After finishing training, Zuo Li did not give himself extra training as usual, but decided to go out for a walk while it was still bright. After coming here for half a year, his life was almost The neighborhood of this orphanage will not be farther than this street, but today, Zuo Li plans to go to a place farther away.

After all, in addition to the notorious dangers of Harlem, it is also the center of New York street culture. Many classics are worth visiting. Needless to say, Rock Park is a place that Zuo Li will conquer after that, so it is not the goal of today. Zuo Li is going to walk to 130th Street today.

When it comes to 130th Street, there must be a person, a person who has heard of his name even if he doesn't play streetball.

Earl MacNicault, nicknamed - The Goat!

The goat who was born in New York set foot on the street early, and all kinds of terrible temptations devoured the future of young people every day. Perhaps because he had no money in his pocket, the "goat" in his youth did not have any other bad habits. Fortunately, Obsessed with basketball.

Almost every night at the corner of 130th Street, people can see a skinny black kid barely dunking. Some passers-by stopped to laugh at the clumsy dunking of "Goat"--they didn't know that it was in the "Goat"'s socks Two heavy sandbags were tied.

This is where the legend of the goat begins.

Turn right from the neighborhood of the orphanage, and 15 minutes later, Zuo Li walked on the street of 130th Street. Compared with where Zuo Li lives, there is not much difference. Of course, the security will be a little better. This is why Zuo Li dared to come here so swaggeringly.

On the court at the corner of 130th Street, Zuo Li stopped here. There were still all kinds of people playing streetball on the court. On a small sign beside the court, Zuo Li found the name of Earl MacNicoult. There is no doubt that even today, he is still a legend here.

"Unfortunately, I don't have a chance to see you play." Zuo Li stood in front of the sign and said with a smile, then rubbed his head, feeling a little funny about the purpose of his impulsive trip.

That's right, Zuo Li just wanted to see with his own eyes the place where Goat played. After all, even in the era when Zuo Li played before crossing, the name of Goat has always existed in people's word of mouth.

Now that he came here, Zuo Li naturally wanted to see for himself what the situation was like here, but Zuo Li was wrong. The stadium itself was no different, and the legendary goat was not here either.

"Hey boy, what's so good about a brand."

And just when Zuo Li was about to turn around and leave, a deep voice came from behind Zuo Li.

Zuo Li turned around, and saw a black uncle standing there, hunched over, with a wine bottle in his left hand and a cigarette in his right, and fresh hops on his gray beard...

"What the hell…"
