I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 34 Celebration banquet, go to Rock Park! (for collection)
The Boston Summer League is over, and the participating teams are about to disband.

However, before going back to their homes and looking for their mothers, many teams also organized a wave of celebration banquets.

The summer league team was originally formed temporarily. Most of the players participating in the competition were undrafted. After the summer league, they have nothing to do with the team.

But the team is not so unkind. The players helped the team play in the summer league. There is no credit but hard work. Before the team breaks up, they get some summer league participation bonuses to reward the players and treat everyone to a breakup meal.

There is no championship game in the Boston Summer League, but the Bucks have won seven consecutive victories in this year's Boston Summer League without a single loss. This meal is a veritable celebration feast.

This celebration banquet was indeed of high standard, not to mention delicious food and drink, accompanied by beauties.

The Bucks are basically all black players. Although coach Stotts is white and the team leader is also white, everyone was very open at the celebration banquet.

Only He Li has not been in the world deeply, and it is inevitable to be restless when encountering such scenes, and in the end he can only reluctantly let a young and beautiful white woman with a good face accompany him.

Seeing his teammates attacking the female companion beside him, He Li had no choice but to think of a way to get out because of his low face, and called Alston.

"Why?" Alston was in high spirits at first, although he just kissed and hugged without doing anything substantive, isn't it just fun?He was suddenly handed over by He Li, and he was naturally upset for a short time.

However, when He Li asked him to go out to talk about things, Alston followed him, but his expression was very displeased.

"Raff, have you thought about what you're going to do in the next three months?" He Li folded his hands on his chest, condescendingly looking at Alston seriously.

Alston raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and said, "Playing ball, what else can you do?"

"As a teammate, welcome me to Locke Park?" He Li suddenly asked with a smile.

Alston was puzzled: "Why? What do you think?"

"You won't welcome me, right?" He Li continued to smile, and then said bluntly, "I will return to New York tomorrow, and I will practice in New York for the next three months to improve my strength.

I won't hide it from you, I came to you today because I hope to play with you!We need to get to know each other, don't we?
We need to build a good chemistry and understand each other's way of playing so that we can prepare for the regular season next season. "

There are three main reasons why He Li approached Alstom this time.

On the one hand, it is to win over Alstom, which was an idea before playing in the summer league.

However, Alston was rebellious and didn't know how to actively communicate with his teammates. When He Li tried to contact Alston, Alstom was still very arrogant.

Now that the Boston Summer League is over, He Li will part with Alstom after the celebration dinner is over.In other words, if He Li doesn't seize the opportunity, he won't be able to win over Alstom before the start of the preseason.

If friendship and cooperation are established in the preseason, it may affect He Li's performance in the preseason and the first few games of the regular season.

He Li has a lot of ambitions, but he went for the best sixth man in his rookie season, so it is very important to conquer Alston now.

In the second aspect, the lack of ball feel is the biggest problem that He Li needs to overcome at present, and He Li believes that going to Rock Park to play may allow He Li to overcome the problem of lack of ball feel.

The adverse effect of lack of ball sense on He Li is mainly reflected in the two aspects of ball holding and ball control, followed by breakthrough and defense.

The lack of ball sense has the most intuitive impact on ball holding and ball control. It is easy to make mistakes when dribbling, which makes He Li dare not hold the ball for too much time in the game.

In short, if He Li can't solve the problem of lack of ball feel, he may not be able to become the leader of the team for the rest of his life.

The team leader can play without the ball, but not without the ball.Without the ball, the big deal is poor compatibility with other players. If you don’t have a championship in your life, but you don’t have the ball, you can only be a second-in-command for others, or even a role player.

The lack of ball sense will also make it easier for He Li to make mistakes in breakthroughs, and players without breakthroughs can easily be blocked from shooting. Only players who combine sudden shots are less likely to be blocked.

As for defense, He Li is not afraid of players who rely on their physical strength, but they rely on their skills and rhythm.

The lack of ball sense makes it more difficult for He Li to grasp the opponent's dribbling and shooting rhythm.

At this time, He Li will have two situations. One is that it is easy to prevent a breakthrough when he is shaken, and he is shot when he is defending a shot.

There is no shortage of skilled players in the NBA. When He Li meets this kind of player, he has been teased so many times that he may be described as a defensive colander by the media.

He Li definitely didn't want to do this!

People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. Although He Li didn't think about things as far away as the first and second masters, the lack of ball sense is indeed a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible for him.

To solve the adverse effects of lack of ball sense, the first thing is to improve the level of ball holding and ball control.

He Li can be improved through training, but because of the debuff of lack of ball feel at level 5, the training effect is half the effort, which will be a bit uncomfortable.

But black people can get into college through hard work and work as lawyers and doctors. How can He Li overcome the debuff of lack of ball sense, play in the NBA, and practice aggressive ball handling? What's wrong with this?
The old ancestors said well, where there is a will, there is a way!

The ancestors also said that a famous teacher produces a good apprentice!

He Li has Alstom, the streetball king, as a good teacher and friend. Learning Alstom's ball-handling and breakthrough skills should be very helpful to improve his own ball-handling and breakthrough abilities.

When playing in a streetball mecca like Rock Park, it is easy to encounter skilled players. He Li is not good at defending such players because of his lack of ball feel, but he can also rely on continuous accumulation of defensive experience to figure out how to defend against such players.

In three months, He Li will finally sum up some useful things.

As for the third aspect, Master Ma said that it is not easy to practice dead energy in the gym!He Li took it for granted.

If He Li only practiced in the training hall for three months without actual combat, the effect of the three-month training may really not be great.

But if you practice and fight at the same time, it will probably be very effective.

He Li will go back to New York next, and the best street court in New York is Rock Park.

But Locke Park is located in Harlem, a black district in Manhattan. The law and order environment in Harlem is not good these days. There are at least a thousand murders a year, and there are more ordinary cases.

In the United States, it is quite normal for black people to rob people of yellow race, and it is very possible that something else will happen by the way.

He Li wants to go to Rock Park to play actual games. Without the company of Alston, a local snake, he may be able to enter, but it may not be possible if he wants to come out.

As for why He Li returned to New York after the summer league, instead of going to Milwaukee?That's because the team's home court is not open to players in the summer.

The NBA stipulates that after the draft, the home courts of each NBA team will enter a closed state and will no longer be open to players until the NBA new season training camp begins.

This is mainly to prevent the stars from playing for a season full of scars, but still training hard in the summer, and finally training themselves, causing heavy losses to the team, and also affecting the overall ratings of the NBA.

In addition, part of the reason is to drive NBA-related industries. During the closure of the NBA's home stadium, players who want to practice can only go to famous NBA players, and famous trainers run training camps, all of which are related to the interests of the NBA.

As for He Li, after the summer league, He Li went to Milwaukee. If he was unfamiliar with the place, he had to find a training center and a trainer temporarily, but he was already familiar with it when he went to New York.

In addition, going to New York is also for the convenience of accepting commercials, shooting commercials...

Closer to home, to sum up the above three aspects, Alstom is still very important to He Li.

In the next three months, how far He Li can progress depends entirely on Alstom.

However, after hearing He Li's words, Alston seemed hesitant. Although he didn't refuse, he didn't agree either.

He Li did not wait for Alston to refuse, and continued: "You are not afraid of me, are you? Afraid that I will go to Rock Park and steal your limelight?"

"Haha, just kidding! I know you are not afraid of me going to Rock Park, maybe you expect me to go to Rock Park and beat me in front of everyone!"

He Li turned a corner, trying to trick Alston, but for some reason, Alston was not fooled, and remained indifferent, without opening his mouth.

He Li can only put it another way: "Let me ask you, as the No. 16 pick in the first round, I will work hard in the summer to try to be reused by the Bucks next season. Should you work harder as a second-round pick whose contract is about to expire?

I hope to have a strength beyond yours this summer.

But I am not hostile to you, you should show kindness to me.

You have to think about it, who helped you get rid of Lindsay Hunter?It's me, it's me who will help you have more playing time next season.

In any case, you shouldn't pay back your favors, are you right? "

"If you want to sign a contract with the Bucks and want to start in the NBA, then you better cooperate with me!
You should be very clear, I am the uncrowned king of this year's draft, and I am the future star of the Bucks!
If you're smart enough, you won't reject me, because rejecting me won't do any good! "

"Are there cameras in Rock Park?

You are a streetball king admired by thousands of people, your strength should be seen by more people, and you should perform better in the NBA!

And I can help you, help you play in the NBA, help you win a better contract, and make you a big star! "

After He Li moved with emotion, understood with reason, provoked, threatened, and lured, Alston finally became amiable.

"He Li, I was drunk just now... I didn't hear a lot of things clearly, but I think what you said is right! We are brothers! You shouldn't lie to me, right?"

"Of course I won't lie to you! After three months, we will all become stronger and more cooperative!

Know Utah Shuangsha, right?As long as you do the pick and roll with me, I promise you will be my John Stockton and I will be your Karl Malone!

Next season, even if you don't score enough points, I will let you average 5 more assists per game.

You have such assist data, it will definitely attract the attention of many teams. "

He Li briefly told Alston about the prospect, and Alston nodded upon hearing this: "You are right."

In the previous summer league, Alston also envied the pick-and-roll between He Li and Reid, and now he has finally replaced him!

"Anyway, I'm not at a disadvantage. If He Li said so, then I might really be able to make a name for myself in the NBA!" Alston is already the king of streetball, so he has no ambitions for the NBA?

After He Li's unremitting efforts, Alston finally lowered his proud head in front of He Li.
