Chapter 43

The turmoil gradually subsided, and this incident not only did not damage Ling Bo's reputation, but made his popularity skyrocket.

Ling Bo really wants to thank those people with ulterior motives, sometimes others' suspicion is also a kind of affirmation of your strength.

On November 11, the Cavaliers will travel to Madison Square Garden in New York to challenge the Knicks away.

When the team assembles, Ling Bo is always the first to arrive. Whether it is training or going to an away game, his enthusiasm is the highest in the team, and his teammates have transportation, but Ling Bo comes with a sandbag.

"Hi, Ling, you came quite early." James came over and put his arm around Ling Bo's shoulder, and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Ling, is everything settled?" Big Z Ilgauskas came next, and he also greeted Ling Bo with a smile.

"It's all resolved, thank you for your concern." Ling Bo responded friendly.

Carlos Boozer walked up to Ling Bo with delicate steps, clapped hands with him and said, "Ling, I'm glad that we can fight side by side again."

Teammates arrived one by one, Eric Williams and Limbo gave a big hug, and even Kevin Ollie, who had been hostile before, shook hands with Limbo.

Ling Bo conquered his teammates with 7 minutes of playing time.

The Cavaliers are developing in a good direction, and the old and new players get along more and more harmoniously.

After the team assembled, they headed to New York. This was Ling Bo's second visit to New York and Madison Square Garden. It had been more than four months since his first visit. It used to be his sad place, because he Lost.

The teammates on the plane were not as dull as before. They were all discussing how to play this game.

Big Z said: "The Knicks' striker lineup is no worse than ours, and our height has no advantage."

Ira Newbell jokingly said: "At least you still have a height advantage, and I also have it in the back line, but I am not as flexible as Ling."

LeBron is full of confidence. It can be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He said: "No matter what lineup they have, as long as we work hard to do what we should do, even if Michael comes back, I will still dare to fight."

Ling Bo smiled slightly, the No. [-] pick is the No. [-] pick, and he speaks confidently.

Mark Osorsky saw everyone chatting lively, and couldn't help interjecting: "I don't know if you have heard the saying that there are no real underdogs in the NBA. Any careless underestimation of the enemy will make us lose the game."

Mark Osorsky is afraid that everyone will be complacent because of a victory and underestimate the enemy.

In fact, the players are not to blame. The Cavaliers won the No. [-] pick. Last season's victory can be imagined. This season, they lost five games in a row at the beginning of the season. They finally tasted the taste of victory. How could they be unhappy?

The flight took less than two hours and arrived in New York smoothly. The teammates wanted to invite Ling Bo to have lunch. Unexpectedly, Ling Bo and LeBron went to practice as soon as they arrived.

Ling Bo and LeBron practiced for more than an hour, and LeBron suddenly asked, "Ling, where do you think I need to focus on training?"

After watching a few of his games, Ling Bo actually realized that although LeBron was the No. [-] pick in the top high school student in the United States, and he was very versatile in high school games, after entering the NBA, some of his strengths are not strengths.

Just like in high school games, LeBron can attack the rim unscrupulously and crush layups, but in NBA games, there are many players with better physical fitness and faster speed than him.

Ling Bo said: "In my personal opinion, you need to strengthen training in terms of strength, and the other is the way of attack. You need to be more comprehensive."

"You know Kobe, he once told me that in high school, he could play from the [-]st to the [-]th position, but after entering the NBA, he became restrained. In order to make himself more competitive, so he training harder than others."

"And as far as I know, Carmelo Anthony, who is also known as the peerless double pride with you, has a more comprehensive offensive method than you."

LeBron thought for a moment, and said: "In six NBA games, my field goal percentage was only 38.%, and my three-point shooting percentage was only 25%. It is indeed a lot lower than when I was in high school."

Ling Bo said: "You should have discovered it yourself. In your recent games, you have relied on your physical fitness to force a breakthrough. But once you encounter a team with a strong inside, such as the Lakers' O'Neal, such as Tim Duncan, then your advantage It's gone. And in the game you should try to shoot more, the mid-range, the three-pointer, you need to improve, don't you?"

LeBron smiled and nodded. He likes Ling Bo's straightforward approach. Everyone is a teammate. When he first entered the league, no one is a basketball god. They all have shortcomings. Just point it out and train directly.

Seeing that LeBron was eager to try, Ling Bo immediately asked, "What about me, LeBron?"

LeBron said: "You've been taught by a superstar, me."

Ling Bo was taken aback, what the fuck, is LeBron jealous?
Ling Bo patted LeBron on the back. In fact, he also wanted to put his arms around his shoulders, but the cutest height difference between the two made Ling Bo give up.

Ling Bo said: "Don't be shy, just say it."

LeBron said: "Whether it is Bryant, Allen Iverson or Tracy, they have been in the league for several years. You learn their skills, which is not wrong, but they have also been studied by opponents for many years. Well, some teams have a way of defending against them, and if you don’t make a change and follow their skills, other teams have a way of going against you as well.”

Ling Bo frowned. He had thought about this question before he said, "You mean to integrate these offensive and defensive skills into something new and make them into your own skills?"

LeBron said: "Of course, it is still necessary to make some changes. This cannot be done overnight. The skills of Kobe and others are all polished in the game."

Ling Bo agreed deeply, and said: "Then let's start, starting with you to practice, after all, you play more time than me."

James didn't refuse either. With Ling Bo as his partner, he was more motivated.

LeBron began to practice mid-range shooting, and Ling Bo was responsible for picking up the ball for him. When the practice was exhausted, the two had a spot-up shooting competition. The penalty was to practice 100 more shots for every loss.

The training time passed quickly, and two hours passed before we knew it. Mark Osorsky was very concerned about the two rookies, so he came here to remind them that they should pay attention to rest, work and rest, and not delay the evening game.

The two naturally have their own limits. After practice, take a shower and feel comfortable, and then watch the game video together and study the offensive skills of some active stars. This is conducive to the comprehensiveness of their offensive methods and also to their defense when they meet in future games.
