NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 4 Making Jimmy Hard

Two days later, Zhu Wan and Jimmy Butler also officially set off to New York. This is the second year in a row that Zhu Wan has come to New York. Last year, he came to participate in the Nike global training camp, which is the training camp that Yao Ming participated in. Just like Yao Ming back then, he also blasted many potential rookies at that time, and attracted the attention of many scouts!

Connecticut also sent him a formal invitation after this training camp.

Come again this year to become stronger!

"Brother, am I really going to Oakley's training camp?"

Walking on the bustling streets of New York, Jimmy Butler wrinkled his face, showing his signature ugly expression, and asked Zhu Wan weakly.

This was the eighth time he had asked Zhu Wan this question along the way.

It can be seen that he really doesn't want to go to Oakley's training camp.

It's no wonder that Charles Oakley has played in the league for 17 years, relying on rebounds and defense to gain a foothold in the league, but what really impresses him is his fiery temper and sturdy combat effectiveness!

Yao Ming described him as playing in the way of fighting.

Even Barkley was stunned by him!
Such a guy, even if he is a professional player in the NBA, would still give up three points, try not to provoke him if he can.

Not to mention Jimmy Butler, a kid who is only 13 years old.

Juwan looked at Jimmy Butler, and he saw fear in the guy's eyes, and that's why he sent Jimmy Butler to Oakley.

You know, if Jimmy Butler, who was kicked out of the house by his mother and lived a night here and a miserable life there, had such a chance to enter the training camp to improve himself, even if it was Oakley's training camp, he would be very happy to agree.

But now, because of Zhu Wan's appearance and Zhu Jianmin's care, Jimmy Butler's character is not as "Xiao Yan" as before. Perhaps it is because of the lack of fighting spirit that makes him appear soft.

To put it simply, this "jiba" is not hard anymore...

But Jimmy Butler was able to become famous in the league and become a star, not because of his talent. To be honest, he was barely a second-rate player in the league. He could stand up and shout "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi" to his mother, mainly because of his spirit!

Zhu Wan didn't want Jimmy Butler in this life to be unable to enter the NBA because of his appearance, so it became a very necessary thing for Oakley to torture him and temper his spirit.

Of course, there is another very important reason for Jimmy Butler to go to Oakley's training camp-poor...

This summer Zhu Wan himself has an improvement plan. He plans to "upgrade" his body, but these days, the cost of any well-known trainer is not low. NBA players have only gradually realized the importance of trainers since Michael Jordan!This also leads to their high asking prices.Generally, it is around [-] to [-] for half a month, which is really expensive, but no matter how expensive it is, Zhu Wan has to pay for it. He has a specialization in surgery, and he has to consult a real professional about how to build a body!If you just practice blindly, it is easy to leave hidden dangers in the body, and the Asian body is not resistant to it.

Juwan eventually chose Michael Jordan's personal trainer Tim Grover for the training camp.

Now that you have found it, of course you must find the most professional one.

This also led to the fact that the family did not have more money to report to Butler for the training camp of the League balloon stars.

Of the 2 yuan that Zhu Wan signed up for, half of Zhu Jianmin’s life was costing him, and Zhu Wan’s scholarship and other money added up to make up enough...

Speaking of which, this is also the reason why Zhu Wan postponed his entry into the league for a year. The 20th to 30th picks in the first round will add up to more than 3 million in four years. If he is selected by a Texas team, all kinds of taxes will be as high as 50%. In addition to the basic equipment required by NBA players, there is almost not much money that can be used to improve his life.

But if he can be selected among the top 2 in the first round, his salary in the first year will be more than [-] million...

Zhu Wan never understood why anyone would go to Oakley's training camp before, but now he understands, who doesn't want to go to Kobe Allen Iverson's training camp if he has money!

Fortunately, for Jimmy Butler in this period, improving his spirit is more important than improving his skills!

The peak Jimmy Butler, his offensive skills are actually just that...

The two found the arranged dormitory according to the address given by the training camp. They said it was a dormitory, but to put it bluntly, it was a small hotel. Because it was a room for one person, Zhu Wan also saved to open another room, and squeezed together with Jimmy Butler for a night. It was a little bit of savings!
It's just that the bed in this cheap hotel is really small, Zhu Wan struggled to fully stretch his legs, so he could only curl up, but even so, Jimmy Butler was squeezed into a corner by him.

"Brother, hello. Chang!"

Zhu Wan: ...

Oh, that's a bad line~
"Yawn~"

Early in the morning, Oakley showed up at the training ground. Today is the day when the training camp starts.After a long yawn, he moved his body again, and sighed slightly in his heart: It seems that I am really old!
Considering the opening of the training camp today, he purposely only played until 4:5 am last night before going back to sleep, but he still didn’t rest well, and he was still yawning after standing here for less than [-] minutes.

If this was in the 90s, playing all night would be fine!
Not only is it okay, he can order another cup of tea to take home and drink slowly.

But he is 39 years old, he is about to retire, and he is indeed old.

It is also considering that he is about to retire, and while his story is still circulating in the league, he will make money from various aspects, so he has held training camps very frequently in the past two years.

About half an hour later, some children walked into the training ground one after another.

Most of the children were sent by their parents, and they all had smiles on their faces. As fans of the older generation, they knew what Oakley had been like, and felt that their children could make a lot of money by coming to Oakley’s training camp at this price!
This is a former All-Star player!

It’s just that most of the little devils are not as excited as their parents. Some of them are like Butler. They were very excited when they heard that they would come to the training camp at first, but when they heard that it was Oakley’s training camp, they immediately lost interest.

Oakley... Does this uncle play basketball?

"What can he teach me!"

Some children even questioned their parents in front of Oakley.

This is obviously a child who has never heard of Oakley's story. Looking at Oakley, who is full of smiles and kindly like an old man, he thinks he is the same as the basketball teacher he hired for 1 yuan.

This embarrassed my parents so much, I apologized to Oakley repeatedly.

Oakley waved his hands with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji!" I will let him know what I can teach him, half an hour, and half an hour later, if he doesn't cry, I will lose!
Oakley bid farewell to the child's parents with a smile on his face, and by the way, included this child in his heart as his key care object. At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the training hall:

"Wow, it's Juwan!"

"It's really him, Zhu Wan is here!"

"Is that Juwan from Connecticut who made it to the NCAA finals this year?"

Oakley looked towards the door, and a black-haired, yellow-skinned Chinese youth who looked a little taller than him was walking towards him.

It's really Juwan...
