Speaking of the Lakers, this guy immediately became excited. Although this guy was born in Compton, California, he never thought about escaping here. He spent his elementary school, middle school and college in California, and he wanted to go there most.
The team is also the Los Angeles Lakers.
Some people may not know that Compton is actually one of the most chaotic places on the West Coast. Seven of DeMar's relatives were killed by gunfire.
To be honest, it's really not easy for this guy to grow up so healthily.
"Of course, they will defeat the Magic and win the championship!" Lian Dao also spoke on a whim and spoke a little uncontrollably.
"Magic? I'm more optimistic about the Cavaliers. If Garnett wasn't injured and ended the season, I would actually be more optimistic about the Celtics. Although as a Lakers fan, I shouldn't be so optimistic about the Celtics." DeMar said at the end.
And shrugged.
This is true, the yellow-green battle is the most highly regarded. Ever since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson faced off against Big Bird Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, the two teams began to have a feud.
If we go back further, we have to go to the ancient era of the NBA, that is, the era of Chamberlain of the Lakers!
It can be said that the fans of the yellow and green teams are really at odds with each other!
When it comes to the Celtics, Lian Dao also nodded. These are the best years for the Celtics. If Garnett is not injured and all the players are still at their peak level, then it is really hard to say whether the Lakers will win the championship this year.
.
It can only be said that injuries are really the biggest enemy of athletes.
In fact, they still have quite a lot of time until the draft. Even excluding the time for trial training and the time to go home, Lian Dao basically still has two months of training time.
If he really makes good use of these two months, he will also improve a bit during this time.
Fortunately, there is no word for involution yet. If there is, Lian Dao will definitely become the "involution king" of USC!
While others are on vacation during the off-season, you are the only one training. Isn’t this going to kill others?
"I'm going to practice my three-point shooting, what are you going to do to improve it? I still need your help with the three-point shooting!" Demar scratched his head in embarrassment.
Lian Dao was also very surprised after hearing this. Didn't this guy live and die without practicing three-pointers?
Lian Dao previously asked him to develop his three-point ability. He also said that the closer he is to the basket, the higher his scoring success rate.
Why did I think of taking the initiative to seek change this time?
In fact, the reason why Demar wanted to change was also related to Lian Dao.
He saw that Lian Dao could break the deadlock for the team through three-pointers every time, especially the "elevator door" tactic, and he understood a truth: strong people will bring their own tactical system.
Moreover, if it weren't for his lack of three-point ability, the "elevator door" tactic would never have been easily restricted by the University of North Carolina.
Therefore, after the finals, he made up his mind to enrich his offensive methods.
"Yes, as long as you want to learn, I can tell you some experience and you can learn from it. In fact, what is really suitable for you is the shot that you feel most comfortable with."
Lian Dao agreed, and Lian Dao was happy for him to see his good friend seeking progress on his own.
"I'm going to improve my low-post skills and mid-range shooting."
Lian Dao then added.
After these few tournaments, Lian Dao actually exposed a lot of problems.
In particular, Lian Dao has no offensive ability in the low post and has rough footwork in the low post.
Then there is his mid-range shot. His mid-range shot is very unstable and cannot be seen yet. However, once the NBA's defensive intensity increases, his shortcomings will be fully exposed.
Demar nodded thoughtfully.
"We still need to find an agent and maybe a trainer if necessary."
Lian Dao also found that although the game was over, they still seemed to have a lot to deal with.
He is about to enter the NBA and embark on the road of professional basketball, so he must find a professional.
Basically every NBA player has an agent, except Nowitzki.
Because not everyone can meet a good boss like Cuban like Nowitzki.
Unconsciously, they chatted for a long time until sleepiness came over them.
The two of them went back to the room to sleep.
Lian Dao, who originally wanted to open the mysterious gift bag, forgot about the past again.
…
The next day, Lian Dao didn't wake up until 11 o'clock.
This is the first time Lian Dao has slept in since he was reborn, and he feels as if his body has become crispy.
They will take a flight back to the University of Southern California this afternoon, and there will inevitably be another celebration.
Lian Dao was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but reach for his cell phone.
The phone has run out of battery and automatically shuts down.
Charge the phone and turn it on.
Looking at the series of text messages and missed calls congratulating him for winning the championship, Lian Dao said it was terrible.
He went to bed too late last night and forgot to charge his mobile phone.
There are missed calls from my parents and blessings from some friends.
Lian Dao also called everyone back one by one. If they were from China, he would text them back. The main reason was that it was probably midnight in China and it would be very rude to call back and disturb the other party's rest.
Among them, there is also a text message sent by Yao Ming.
Dayao had previously found Su Qun and obtained Lian Dao's contact information.
Lian Dao still clearly remembers that when Yao Ming called him, he thought it was a scam call. Only when he heard the familiar Mandarin and Yao's voice did he confirm that it was really him.
This time, the University of Southern California exceeded everyone's expectations and won the championship. Yao Ming also made a small profit this time by buying the Southern California Betting Club.
At that time, in the Rockets locker room, they knew that only Yao Ming had bought Southern California, and they all lamented Yao Ming's overwhelming luck.
Yao Ming also made generous use of this small windfall and invited everyone to dinner.
In addition to congratulating Lian Dao on winning the championship and winning the MOP, Yao Ming's text message this time also contained a message that the two of them should meet and chat.
In fact, this was what the two people had agreed upon before.
Although Lian Dao and Yao Ming often communicate through text messages and mobile phones, they have never actually met in person.
The main reason is that the previous Lian Dao was flying around after entering March Madness, and this season, Rockets Tracy McGrady's injury recurred on February 11 and was reimbursed for the season. Dayao, who leads the team with a single core, is also very hard.
The two of them basically don't have time to meet each other.
Lian Dao has not yet started his training plan, so he has plenty of time.
So, it was agreed that the two would meet on April 12th. It happened that the Rockets did not have a game that day, and the next game was also at home against the Hornets on the 13th.
Lian Dao was also very happy after hanging up the phone.
Compared to others, Lian Dao is actually lucky. First, he went to high school and college in the United States, so he is very familiar with many aspects of the environment and communication.
Even if you enter the NBA, there will be no language barrier.
Second, with Yao Ming as a guide, he can avoid many detours.
In other aspects, Yao Ming can also give a lot of advice.
For example, Lian Dao asked Yao Ming for advice on low-post offense and low-post footwork. Yao Ming gave Lian Dao many teaching videos on which he asked Olajuwon for advice.
