Chapter 16 The First Game

"I know you are not convinced, how about we give you three months, how about we formally fight each other?"

James said it very seriously.

"You are a very good opponent. Of course, with all due respect, it's just that your current skills are not enough."

Ling Bo smiled slightly and said, "I understand, thank you LeBron for giving me such a chance."

James also laughed. At this time, he put down his proud figure and said, "If you think it's okay, I can train with you."

It was another sentence that caught Ling Bo by surprise, James was a sparring partner, who among the rookies could get such treatment?
"I can't ask for it."

After making an appointment with LeBron and exchanging contact information, the two of Ling Bo returned to the hotel.Xia Liu returned to Georgetown University, and he went to the school to help him arrange it. In the United States, sports are very important, and basketball is even more important. If a college student participates in the NBA draft, the school will not object.

The next day, Ling Bo sent Xia Liu away. Xia Liu was full of confidence in Ling Bo now, after all, he had James as his partner.

Let me ask, how many people can practice with James, there were none in the past, but now there is only Ling Bo.

"Lingbo, you are destined to have noble people to help you, so I won't be here blindly. Let me know as soon as you have any news, whether it's good news or bad news."

Ling Bo said, "Don't worry, I will."

Xia Liu: "Then I'm leaving, looking forward to your entry into the NBA."

Ling Bo nodded, Xia Liu was heading to the airport with his backpack on his back, Ling Bo suddenly shouted: "Xia Liu, you are also my nobleman."

Xia Liu said without looking back: "Go, don't be flirtatious with brother."

After Limbo returned, James took him to a place that was his alma mater - St. Vincent High School.

James invited a person to meet Ling Bo. The person who came was a big fat man. From the perspective of body shape, except for his height, he was a real O'Neill.

This is one of James' teammates in the St. Vincent High School team, named Sian. After they exchanged simple greetings, James introduced Limbo to Sian.

"Brother, this is my new basketball partner, from the far east, you can call him Ling."

Ling Bo shook hands with Sian with a smile, and Sian nodded with a friendly smile.

The three of them came to a lively basketball court. The place was very big, and there were basketball players everywhere, including one-on-one bullfighting and streetball. Their juggling movements refreshed Ling Bo's cognition of basketball once again.

James didn't know when he put on a mask, making it hard for people to see his face clearly. This is the trouble of being too famous.Seeing Ling Bo staring in rapt attention, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, it might be too boring for me to train with you one-on-one. I think only in real competitions can we improve faster."

Ling Bo let out a cry, so you're bringing me on stage?
Sian added: "What we're going to do is three-on-three basketball, ten balls per game, $50 a game!"

I'll go, and bring gambling money?

Although Ling Bo is not short of money at the moment, his father gives him ample living expenses, plus the salary he gets as a caddy.Now in Ohio State, I spend a lot of money every day. If I lose two games a day, Lingbo will declare bankruptcy within a month.

Sian said: "Don't worry, with LeBron here, how could we lose, maybe I will hold you back, you are also a player who is about to enter the NBA, two big guys, please take care of us."

Ling Bo was speechless, I still take care of you, who will take care of me?
After waiting on the sidelines for a while, it was Ling Bo's turn to enter the arena. The opponents were two black men and one white man.The black man wearing the No. 3 jersey, about 1.90, is obviously a defender. The other black man is wearing the No. 5 jersey, which is about the same height as James, and sits inside. The other white man is about 1.95, a striker, and the jersey number is No. 7.

Their team is called 357, and the temporary team formed by the three of Ling Bo is called the "Fantastic Three".

After a discussion among the three before the game, the winners will be divided among the three, and the loser will pay for whoever made the biggest mistake.

Ling Bo: Uncle policeman, I feel like I've been cheated, that gorilla is doing a business that never loses money.

Sian thinks that Ling Bo is very good, although he is not as good as James, but he can play with James, and he is a player who is about to participate in the draft, so his strength must not be bad.So he and Ling Bo had similar ideas.

There was no referee in the game, and the right to the first ball was determined by finger-guessing. As a newcomer, Ling Bo had to play finger-pointing with the opponent's No. 3 black defender. Fortunately, he got the ball.

Ling Bo let out a breath of foul air to calm himself down. This was his first time playing as a guard, and this was his first official game since practicing basketball.

The point is to mess it up, but I have to pay 50 dollars.

In 2003, $50 was a lot of money for a student.

At the beginning of the game, Sian served to Ling Bo, and he ran to the basket to get a position. Sian knew his position very well. He was just a tool guy. He was doing dirty work in the team of Fantastic Three. Rebounding is his job.

After all, his teammates are two "big guys" who are about to enter the NBA.

Ling Bo dribbled the ball, James was running on the field, reaching out his hand for the ball from time to time, Ling Bo naturally understood what he meant.

"Let's go." Ling Bo muttered to himself, pinpointed James' position, and the nuclear bomb was launched.

It's just that the nuclear bomb was intercepted by the opponent's anti-missile system before it was launched.

The small black guard of the 357 team was very flexible. The moment Ling Bo passed the ball, he immediately seized the opportunity and intercepted the ball.

James did not blame Ling Bo, but nodded to him. Ling Bo felt ashamed and immediately ran out of the three-point line to defend his opponent.

Seeing Ling Bo coming to defend, black No. 3 immediately transferred the ball to white No. 7. White No. 5 passed the ball again to black No. [-] inside.

Fantastic Three 0 to 1 357 teams.

The cooperation between the 357 teams is very tacit. It is obviously a team that has gone through a long period of running-in. They have been in various parks for a long time and have similar games.

The 357 team continued to get the offensive ball. The white No. 7 served to the No. 3 guard. Facing Ling Bo's defense, he directly made a three-pointer and scored a goal.

This No. 3 bounces very well and shoots very quickly. Ling Bo's defense is obviously a bit slower.

"Ling, focus on guarding him." James shouted.

Ling Bo nodded, clapped his hands, and cheered himself on.

With the lesson learned from the last ball, Ling Bo always paid attention to the black No. 3. This time he didn't make a shot, but gave the ball to the white No. 7. No. 7 kept dribbling, but he couldn't get rid of James' defense.

After two laps, the scene became awkward. The opponent was unable to attack or pass the ball in front of James' huge body.

It was the black No. 3 guard who broke the deadlock again. He bypassed Limbo and ran between James and the white No. 7 to pick and roll for him.

Whiteman No. 7 finally gained space, moved a step sideways, made a direct shot with two points, and the air defense hit again.

James calmed down a bit. Obviously, he had never met such a good teammate. He said to Ling Bo: "When he comes to pick and roll, you don't stand still, you go to defend."

Ling Bo was very embarrassed, he was inexperienced, he didn't know what to do.

sian shook his head, not afraid of god-like opponents
This kind of half-court 3v3 is not like Lingbo's one-on-one trial training. In a 3v3 match, as long as a goal is scored, his side can always get the ball.

The opponent attacked again, but this time they were not so lucky. The white man's No. 7 shot was directly pulled by James to eat a spicy mandarin duck pot.

Sian shuddered when he saw it, and James became angry. The 3-0 start was simply a shame for him.
