Start without the ball

Chapter 7 Arriving in Russian Village
Three days later, Li Haoyu came to Xiao'e Village.

The population of Ercun is only 120 million, which does not hinder the enthusiasm of the people of Ercun for basketball. The Chesapeake Energy Stadium can accommodate 19675 spectators, and almost every game is full.

Li Haoyu also likes the small city which is maintained at 25 degrees in summer, the cool wind blowing on his face is very comfortable.

Came to the manager's office, knocked on the door and met Sam Presti.

After meeting, Prester was very enthusiastic, got up and shook hands and said:
"Hi, Li, welcome to OKC. You can go and deal with your personal affairs today. The training camp will start tomorrow. If you encounter any trouble, you can call me."

Li Haoyu: "I just need to find a place to stay, so I'll go first."

After bidding farewell to Presti, Li Haoyu started a house inspection tour.

Although a contract of 84 US dollars was signed, the contract salary can only be received from November.

During the training period, Li Haoyu can receive a daily subsidy of 127 dollars, and an additional 2000 dollars a week in subsidies, life is no problem.

In the end, Li Haoyu rented a house 20 minutes away from the training hall.

After buying some daily necessities, Li Haoyu closed the doors and windows and came to the gravity training space again.

This time, Jumiao didn't go hungry, but sat obediently in front of Li Haoyu and greeted him with ears.

"This is just like a Corgi! Much cuter."

Ju Miao expressed dissatisfaction, and ran to Li Haoyu's leg like a cat to rub it.

After kicking the orange cat away, Li Haoyu made it start to double the gravity.

After 3 days of adaptation, Li Haoyu no longer suffers from dizziness and difficulty breathing.

Yesterday, I walked 5 kilometers in the stadium.

Decided to try jogging with a higher difficulty today.

After a little movement, Li Haoyu pulled his legs and ran.

Controlling the rhythm, 3 steps and 1 breath, after 4 minutes, I finally finished a lap.

After reaching the starting point, Li Haoyu stopped, not because of lack of energy, but because of the pain in the joints that made it difficult for Li Haoyu to support.

Ju Miao came over and asked, "What's the matter, master, you should still have strength."

Li Haoyu: "My knees are sore, I dare not run anymore."

Orange Meow: "Wait a minute, master, don't move, let me check."

Orange Meow glanced at Li Haoyu's knee with its titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Orange Meow: "It's a question of strength!"

Li Haoyu: "Strength? What do you mean?"

Orange Miao: "Under 2 times the gravity, the knee joint has to bear more pressure, and the current strength is not enough to support more intense sports."

"Is there any way to overcome it?" Li Haoyu asked.

"The owner needs to get used to it slowly. After a period of time, the knee joint will be strong enough and it will be fine. That's it!"

Sure enough, we still have to proceed step by step!

After a short rest, after the soreness in his knees eased, Li Haoyu got up again and started his old age rampage.

In high gravity mode, Li Haoyu has indeed become an old man.

After completing the 5km race walk, Li Haoyu withdrew from the space.

Years of independent living has allowed Li Haoyu to develop a good cooking skill.

Taking out the ingredients, Li Haoyu made his own special dish - Yangzhou Fried Rice.

Combined with delicious nutritional additives, the taste is full of fragrance and extremely rich in nutrition.

The taste is fragrant and smooth, when you bite down gently, the crystal clear and full rice grains make you reluctant to chew, and you can feel the fragrance of the rice in your mouth.

With some shrimp and ham, it can't help maintaining the charming rice fragrance, but also adds color and becomes more attractive.

After eating, the night was dark, Li Haoyu washed up and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Haoyu called an Uber to the arena.

It just so happens that the driver is a die-hard Thunder fan.

Driver: "Hi, are you Lee? I didn't expect to pick up a Thunder player."

Li Haoyu: "How do you know I'm a Thunder player?"

Driver: "A die-hard fan like me will care about every move of the team. Whenever I sign a new player, I will watch the video of the new player's game. You played really well in the summer league. Your three-pointer will definitely be able to Helped the Thunder."

Li Haoyu: "If I can play, I will definitely try my best."

Driver "Can I sign it?"

Taking out the pen from the glove box, Li Haoyu signed it in the car and arrived at the arena just in time.

Li Haoyu was 2 hours early and didn't see anyone else.

The day before yesterday, the Thunder sent Anthony away through a trade, in exchange for Schroeder and Luwawu Caballo.

Then Caballo and 250 million cash were traded to the Bulls for a second-round pick.

Now the Thunder's main lineup is George, Westbrook, and Adams. The power forward is not sure how Donovan will use it.

At shooting guard, Roberson underwent surgery in January, and the current situation is unknown.

Abrines and Ferguson are also Li Haoyu's regular opponents.

Abrines shot about 86, Li Haoyu's 83 is not far behind.

The most important thing is that Li Haoyu still has a top running position.

But this is Ferguson.
He is 70cm tall and has a wingspan of 201cm. Although he weighs only 205kg, his excellent jumping makes up for his physical disadvantage. Li Haoyu has too much defensive ability.

Emmm, defense. I also want to defend.

When we defended the youth team, it was amazing, and after arriving in the NCAA, the shooting guards in the league of top students can also temporarily cover it.

Defensive skills are at least trustworthy, well, it's just that his body is a bit weak.

After Li Haoyu asked the administrator to get the key, he took the basketball and practiced shooting in the field with the shooting machine.

Stay in the proper rhythm, bend your knees before catching the ball, squat down, and get ready.

At the same time as receiving the ball, his legs exerted a little force, and he jumped up lightly, lifting the ball and pulling the bowl naturally.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and fell into the net.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Haoyu was ready to catch the ball next time after taking the shot.

Just like this, one person, one ball, one field, practicing shooting alone.

10 minutes on stage, ten years of hard work off stage, only by enduring boring training that is difficult for ordinary people to accept, can there be a chance to shine at a certain moment.

A few 10 minutes later, Donovan drove to the training hall, put down his briefcase in the office, took out the player list and thought about it.

While thinking, I heard some noise in the venue.

"Who would come so early?"

A curious Donovan walked out of the office, came to the court, and saw a yellow-skinned player practicing shooting.

Looking at the sweat on his body, he practiced for at least half an hour.

There is a hint of firmness in the soft touch, and that firmness is the most important quality of a pitcher!
Donovan was a little fascinated, thinking of Sam's report about signing with Hua Guo and losing the draft.

Here's what Sam said in his report:
Li Haoyu, 20 years old, is the No. 2 player from Huaguo. His master-level off-ball movement, coupled with his excellent shooting touch, can be of great help on the offensive end.

The disadvantage is that the body is weak, with a height of 196 and a weight of only 88KG, the defensive end may become a breakthrough.

Donovan rubbed his chin and thought about it. The Thunder has a spot-up shooter Abrines at position 2. His shooting ability is unquestionable, but he is also limited to spot-up shooting, which will make it easy for opponents to target.

And the bloated salary space makes the Thunder cherish every contract, making it difficult to sign reliable immediate combat power.

Maybe it's a choice
Donovan returned to the office, and Westbrook came to the arena at this time.

After changing clothes, I went to the field and saw Li Haoyu who was training.

It just so happened that Li Haoyu also stopped, ready to drink water.

Westbrook stopped Li Haoyu.

"Hi, are you new here?"

Facing Westbrook Li Haoyu was a little at a loss, but he didn't expect the team's general assembly to take the initiative to say hello.

"Ah, the basic salary I signed a few days ago."

Seeing that Li Haoyu was a little cautious, Wei Shao walked up to Li Haoyu's side carelessly, and lightly hammered his chest with his fist.

Westbrook: "Don't be nervous, we don't have that in our team! As long as you train well and help us, we are a team!"

Westbrook's enthusiasm made Li Haoyu relax, and also punched Westbrook in the chest.

"Yes, we are a team!"

After saying that, Westbrook walked away to the other side to do some activities.

Westbrook in front of the camera is full of publicity in his blood.

And Westbrook off the court is very easy to get along with. As the boss of the team, he has passed the stage where he needs to suppress new players to improve his team's status. What he needs is victory!
Although rebounding is criticized, and excessive possession of the ball is also regarded as a cancer, but it is undeniable that it is his competitive spirit!
After Westbrook left, Li Haoyu fell into deep thought, why Westbrook looked nervous when he came.

After all, it is still too weak, only by becoming stronger can we have a stronger aura!

Li Haoyu clenched his fist with his right hand, strengthening his heart even more.

A heart that wants to become stronger!

　The update is very stable, please collect, recommend, and invest.
