Li Ling loves basketball, there is no doubt about it!
This love is not without reason, but has been established since he was a child. As his life grows, it is gradually consolidated and finally becomes a deep-rooted delusion that cannot be eradicated. Otherwise, he would not choose it if he had a better choice.
If you enter a sports academy to obtain a coaching license, you will not be ecstatic because you can finally officially coach a team, and end up drunk to death.
However, compared to coaching the team, Li Ling hopes more that he can play off the court, fight with those NBA superstars on the court, and enjoy the cheers and support of the audience.
It's a pity that he doesn't have that talent.
No matter how much he loves basketball, his height of 1.7 meters and mediocre physical fitness have blocked him from the door of professional basketball from the beginning. It is a joke that he can succeed as long as he works hard. Some things need to be
It depends on talent. Without talent, you are not even qualified to work hard.
Therefore, when he learned from his memory that Adrian was a pretty good basketball player, he was very excited. This was the thrill of seeing the dawn of his dream, which made him eager to test his abilities. Right in the villa
on the basketball court and in the gym.
Then he was shocked!
Although there was no clear test, he could still feel the power surging out of this body. This power was something Adrian did not have before. Adrian's body was still strong, but after many years
The confusion has even caused him to overdraw his foundation in advance. And his talent is not very good. He can score 30 or 40 points while playing basketball, but he is just an ordinary college basketball player.
The more outstanding one among them would be immediately lost among the crowd when it comes to college students in the United States. In the past, Adrian never thought that he would have any development in basketball. UC is not a famous basketball school.
but now……
"Is this a bonus for traveling through time?" In the bathroom, Adrian washed his body that was sweaty from a lot of exercise, and looked at his toned body, broad chest, and toned muscles through the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The abdominal muscles, thick broad back and height of just over two meters are completely different from the short and fat self in memory, and the slender self in memory who often looks pale due to excessive drinking.
"God, Buddha, Virgin Mary, Allah. Whoever brought me here, I thank you." The smile on Adrian's lips became more and more obvious.
"Now, the most important thing is to enter the NBA!"
A chic silver-gray Ford sedan was parked on the side of the road. Adrian got out of the car, threw a coin into the timer, arranged his exquisite handmade suit, and strode into Staples
Sri Lanka Center.
The NBA draft has ended, and the new season has not yet begun. But for the rookies, as well as the wandering players who hope to win a contract from a team that is short of major generals and enter the NBA, it belongs to them.
The game has just begun.
Adrian is also one of them.
Before he traveled through time, the 2006 NBA draft had already ended with a lot of noise. As a recognized draft year, the 2006 draft did not cause much exclamation. In fact, this year's rookies will indeed be few in the future.
Except for Aldridge, Brandon Roy and Rajon Rondo, the others have either been labeled as parallel imports, drifted in the NBA, or simply disappeared from history.
With Adrian's urine, he will definitely not sign up for the draft, and even if he signs up, he will definitely fail based on his ability and performance in college. And Adrian is not willing to go back to college and wait.
He participated in the draft last year, and after being reborn, he is now eager to enter the NBA.
With the guidance and help of the staff, Adrian quickly changed into his jersey and sneakers. In this draft, the Lakers gained nothing in the draft. In exchange for the first-round pick of the 'Left-Handed Magic', Adrian
O'Neal was thrown out together and fell into the hands of the New Jersey Nets. Of course, the pick at that position basically didn't have much value. The second-round pick randomly selected a Spanish center, and then exchanged it for a player called
Danino Pinnock's shooting guard was then waived directly.
Therefore, this training session is basically unknown people.
It is absolutely impossible for you to expect NBA players to watch from the sidelines for such a training match. They are still on vacation on the beach in Hawaii. It is even more impossible to expect the head coach to sit from the sidelines and watch the game.
In fact, the person in charge of this training match was a tall, fat, white assistant coach, about forty years old, named Bob Biese.
Here, Adrian had a slight problem. When he told Bob Bies that he played the point guard position, Bob Bies couldn't help but look up and down at Adrian.
Derian's actual measured height is 2.03. This height is enough to play as a small forward. He still has some height advantages when playing as a shooting guard, but this height is a bit too tall to play as a point guard.
On the basketball court, height is not always better. Especially for outside players, because the higher the height, the larger the gap between dribbling, and the more difficult it is to dribble. In formal games, it becomes more and more difficult.
It is easy for someone to steal the ball. For the position of point guard, the most suitable height is 195 centimeters. If you are short, you will be easily beaten by others using your height advantage. If you are tall, your shortcomings in ball control will be magnified.
But in the end, he didn't say anything. He gave Adrian a purple vest with No. 55 to put on, and with a swipe of a pen, he placed him at the point guard position.
"Hello, my name is Adrian, Adrian Kuvitel, the point guard here, you can also call me Ed." Walking to his own half, Adrian took the lead and asked a black man about 195 centimeters tall.
The player extended his hand.
"Hello, my name is Dardani Astor." Seeing Adrian reaching out to him, the man was a little surprised, but then he responded and held Adrian's hand: "
I’m burping in the sg position.”
"Oh, Dani." Adrian laughed: "Relax Dani, nervousness will not help your performance. You see, they waived the guy in the draft, but they still lack a shooting guard position.
Come on as a substitute, perform well and they will sign you."
"If that's really the case, that would be great." Dardani smiled, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot: "Ed, you too, work hard, they also lack a point guard."
"Hi, hello, my name is Adrian, you can call me Ed. We will be teammates later..."
Adrian kept talking to his teammates. In his previous life, he was good at talking. In this life, Adrian is even more of a sweet-tongued playboy. The two are superimposed. In addition, Adrian has a kind of suffering.
With his well-bred natural affinity, he quickly became involved with these temporary teammates.
Adrian's main purpose is to figure out their attack radius and attack characteristics. Through verbal conversations, he can always get some necessary information.
In 2035, the NBA was an era where point guards were king. Team basketball became the mainstream but it was not team basketball in the true sense. At that time, the difference between a strong team and a weak team was whether there was one person on both teams who could
An excellent point guard who can control the entire team.
After more than thirty years of development, the point guard has truly become the brain and engine of the entire court. And the first thing a point guard, even if it is just a qualified point guard, has to do is to win in the shortest possible time.
Understand your teammates and understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Only by doing this can the point guard perform further.
Adrian's height in his previous life was only 1.7 meters. He was unable to enter the professional league because of his third-level disability. Even when he was playing amateur games, he was often criticized because of his height. Even in the amateur arena,
The only position he is qualified for is point guard. Therefore, in his spare time, he always puts himself in the point guard position to observe the game. This has been the case throughout his life.
Because of this, he may not have much actual game experience, but his consciousness and thoughts have already been prepared. Standing at the point guard position, he knows what he should do better than anyone else.
