Chapter 11 Only children want it all

When Phil Handy arrived at the head coach's office, Phil Jackson was making coffee. The aroma was full of Ethiopian style.

"Good job, man!"

The first cup of brewed coffee was pushed in front of Phil Handy, and Jackson poured a cup himself, and then he officially began to listen to Phil Handy's report.

"I don't have much to say about the strengths on his scouting report."

Most of the summer league is played alone, so Li Wan's advantages in communicating with the team and his own football intelligence are not reflected too much in these 6 games.

"But his disadvantages, judging from what he showed in the summer league..."

Phil Handy paused, took out a piece of information he compiled about Li Wan from the material bag, and continued: "Everything can be improved!"

"He can become an attacker with the ability to hold the ball and have the ability to shoot from long distances. He did not show this in college. The initial judgment is that he spent too much time in contact with basketball and only joined the school team in his senior year. As a result, he did not have enough time.

It takes time to hone these basic skills..."

Phil Jackson said nothing, but looking at Li Wan's summer league performance, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

This kind of news is undoubtedly what he wants to hear.

"Oh, and..." Phil Handy gestured for Jackson to turn to a certain page, "This kid has good explosive scoring power. He has a strong ability to score continuously when he gets the touch. Even if he misses consecutively, it won't affect his shooting.

confidence and adjust quickly.”

"In these two games, after he missed three or four consecutive shots, he suddenly broke out and scored several goals in a row..."

"That is to say...he is a bit of a psychopath?"

Phil Jackson said what Phil Handy wanted to conclude.

"Well... although the sample is not large, judging from the statistics of these 6 games, I think it is." Phil Handy hesitated for a moment, but still expressed this point of view that was not written in the report.

"I see……"

Phil Jackson closed the information about Li Wan, and he will take it back later to study this guy carefully.

Li Wan also met with Yili's advertising agency representatives at this time.

In 2002, Yili registered the "Excellent Yoghurt" brand. In 2005, after passing the patent certification of the National Trademark Office, "Excellent Yoghurt" was officially launched.

As a new product launched by Yili, they have also made big moves and successively signed "fairy sisters" Liu Yifei, Wilber Pan and Yi Jianlian as their spokespersons.

They also filmed "Yiliyou Yoghurt Youth Theater: I Want My Taste" together.

The film was officially broadcast on June 26, 2006.

Two days later, Yili's annual advertising song "Just Like Me" sung by Liu Yifei was released as a single and music MV.

These two waves of operations have allowed the brand Yiliyou Yoghurt to quickly gain a certain reputation in the market.

This is the second year that Yili plans to launch 5 advertisements in addition to the talent show that has already appointed advertising spokespersons.

Li Wan's fame has soared in China during this period, which gave them the idea of ​​changing their spokesperson.

Although Yi Jianlian is a little handsome, Li Wan is more than a little handsome.

The other one, Yi Jianlian, is too tall, with a height of 2.13 meters. Liu Yifei is already quite tall among girls. At 170cm, she looks like a 140cm dwarf in front of him. The picture doesn't match that well.

They simply can't take a picture of two people in the same frame.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Wan is so popular!

Nowadays, any topic related to basketball will mention this Chinese star who plays fiercely and can average 20 points per game in the summer league.

What advertising endorsements want is popularity.

Li Wan was surprisingly easy to talk to and basically didn't ask for anything. He just wanted the shooting time to be as compact as possible.

Finally, Yili’s advertising agency representatives finalized the shooting time based on negotiation: August 17th to August 21st.

This happens to be the day after Li Wan's one-month special training. Using these four days to shoot a few commercials can be regarded as a change of mentality, which will also help him better devote himself to the second phase of special training.

Yili "Excellent Yoghurt" also announced their fourth spokesperson the day after the successful signing of the contract.

This news spread across the country as soon as Sina reported it. Many domestic fans were not surprised. With Li Wan's face, it would be a pity not to take some pictures.

After Li Wan came back, Kupchak specifically asked him to meet him. He was full of praise for his performance in the summer league. At the same time, he gave two reminders in secret: Phil Jackson may be unhappy with you, but don't worry.

Your playing time will be guaranteed.

I don’t know if the Lakers general manager meant this, but that’s how he understood it.

He is not so worried about Phil Jackson's targeting now.

Having experienced the speed of progress of a genius, he believes that when the training camp opens, even if Phil Jackson has objections to him, he will not be able to ignore his existence!

However, Kupchak's words "your playing time will be guaranteed" still made him feel at ease.

Before coming back from Las Vegas, he had already asked Tai Lun to find a training gym for him, and also found a team of trainers. The cost was not small, and the team of trainers plus the training gym were included in the training for a month.

The various nutrients, menus, etc. required during the period cost a total of 150,000.

Kupchak previously paid him an advance salary. After deducting Tai Lun's remuneration, the money he had previously advanced, and the cost of personal training in the previous month, the remaining 230,000 yuan was left. He sent another 50,000 yuan back to China to his parents, and that was it.

There are 180,000 left.

Fortunately, he accepted an advertising endorsement for Yili, otherwise he would have become a pauper again.

The amount of money NBA players spend on physical fitness and training every year is really a huge expense.

Combining the "outline" drawn by Phil Handy and his own personal situation, Li Wan quickly formulated a training plan after discussing it with his trainer.

Items that will continue to be improved: ball handling and shooting.

This goes without saying.

Li Wan had just risen to the level of a fringe NBA player before the summer league. With this level alone, he would definitely not be able to cope with the higher-level NBA regular season.

Items that need attention: comprehensive improvement of physical fitness.

The skills of many street ball players are actually no worse than those of NBA players. In terms of dribbling or shooting, they are even better.

What they lack is the physical fitness to withstand NBA-level competition.

Based on Li Wan's current dynamic and static attribute values, he will have no problem in confrontation in the summer league, but in the NBA, he will be a bit inadequate.

In the main aspects, his upper body strength is only 45, which is too weak!

His explosive power is only 50, which is too weak!

Including his speed of 64 and physical fitness of 50, they are all problems.

And when you are at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness, maybe a 60-point dribbling ability can only play a 40-point role, and a 50-point breakthrough can only play a 30-point role.

Vice versa, when Li Wan's physical fitness is significantly higher than his opponent's, maybe 50 points of breakthrough ability can produce 70 points of power.

Every aspect of a golfer's abilities affects each other.

Therefore, for Li Wan, he needs to pay attention to polishing his body.

This is also the reason why he hired a team of trainers. Physical polishing cannot be done by him alone. He needs more professional people to make training plans for him.

Of course, he has a forward-looking vision and knows some training methods that are more suitable for him, so he is not completely resigned to it.

There is no doubt that training methods are always progressing in a more reasonable and scientific direction.

As for other aspects, Li Wan does not intend to spend time and energy, biting off more than he can chew.

Only children want it all, but adults know it will be too much for them.
