God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 15

Li's expression became even more confused. Perhaps no one has ever said that he has a mental problem, and most people would not think that he has a mental problem.He scratched his head and said with a dry smile, "Chang, are you joking? How could there be a problem with my psychology?"

However, what responded to him was Chang Wei's extremely serious expression, which made him feel shocked.There are quite a few people like this. As long as they see the other party's serious appearance, they will immediately start to doubt themselves. Of course, this just reflects Li's lack of self-confidence.

Chang Wei took another sip of coffee, organized his language a bit, and said slowly: "It's not that there are no gentlemen on the court, but there are definitely no cowards, because cowards cannot survive high-intensity confrontation. With all due respect, now You are a coward! Although you look brave when you take the initiative to ask for help, it only shows that you still have dreams. In fact, you still don’t believe in yourself in your heart, and you don’t have enough courage to make yourself tough. You have to know, As a perimeter defender, toughness is something you have to have, but you're not ready, at least mentally."

Hearing these words, Li's face turned pale, and he stammered: "Then you mean...do you mean I can't do it? Also... After all, I'm not a genius like Tim, and you don't have confidence in me It's also normal..."

Chang Wei shook his head and said: "Since I said I will help you, I will not break my promise. I just think that you must first strengthen your heart. A player who is not strong enough in the heart, even if he is good at the game, will not be successful. .”

Li let out a long breath, but then frowned again, and said to himself: "My heart is not strong enough? There is also a way to train it? Isn't a person's character born?"

Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I think you may not know me well. Before that, I majored in sports psychology in addition to sports rehabilitation at Columbia University. This is my professional field. If you take my word for it, I'm going to help you get over that and become a better player, understand?"

Before the cup of coffee was finished, the two had already reached an agreement verbally.Although Chang Wei's original intention was to complete the system's tasks, he actually sympathized with Li's experience.In the United States, no college player can refuse the temptation of the NBA, but most of them will not be able to step into the highest hall of basketball due to various reasons.

If he hadn't met himself, Li would definitely be one of the thousands of people whose basketball dreams were shattered in the end, but now Chang Wei will become an opportunity for him to change his destiny.For Li's future, Chang Wei is full of confidence. If he can't even save him, then maybe no one else in this world can save him.

In the days that followed, Chang Wei almost became Li's personal sparring partner, but uncharacteristically, he didn't make too many training plans for Li, instead he dragged him to boxing.

When Li put on the boxer's protective gear, he was still in a daze.In his opinion, basketball players should avoid all kinds of activities that can cause injuries, not to mention boxing. It is logical that Chang Wei cannot be ignorant of this taboo, but why did he bring him to the boxing gym?

But when he raised a question, Chang Wei just laughed without saying a word, without any explanation.Chang Wei, who came from later generations, is very clear that as long as protective measures are taken, sports like boxing will not affect the state of basketball players. Even Duncan, who has not yet entered the NBA, once fought with professional boxers at the end of his career. Competing with each other on the same stage, although it is not really fist-to-body, it is definitely not a show.

In the beginning, Li was basically knocked down by his opponent in less than five rounds, and the place where he was hit by the opponent was hot and painful. Although he was wearing protective gear, it didn't seem to have much effect.After falling to the ground, Li really wanted to lie down like this. He has been really hardworking in the training class all along, so why has he received such "treatment"?

But he couldn't stand Chang Wei's crazy ridicule on the sidelines!It has to be said that although Chang Wei is not a player, his trash talk has reached the level of a professional player, making Li almost vomit blood.Chang Wei's yelling did not contain dirty words, but it pierced Li's heart like a knife, and even the other people on the sidelines couldn't stand it.Li, who wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, blushed, gritted his teeth and got up to continue wrestling with his opponent.

Five rounds, ten rounds, and soon Li was able to withstand nearly twenty rounds of the opponent's stormy attack.Although he has a cowardly personality, he is still a player selected for the Villanova University team, and his physical fitness is much better than ordinary people.And in order to avoid Chang Wei's trash talk, he acted very desperately to entangle with professional opponents for so long.

It made sense for Chang Wei to choose Li to practice boxing in his free time. After only a few days, Li showed an expression of eagerness to try when he put on the protective gear, and even began to show a kind of gritted teeth in the ring. Come hard.Chang Wei is not worried that he will bring this to the basketball court. How many of the NBA's perimeter defense gates are modest and gentlemen?You can't be considered a qualified defensive expert if you don't play tricks on the opposing players.

The whole team saw Li's transformation in their eyes.At the beginning, when Rappers announced that Lee would change to a shooting guard, they still scoffed at this decision, especially Celestand, who was the starting No. [-]. He didn't believe that Lee, a water fountain guard, could be reborn in a different position. In his opinion, the only reliable second position in the team is himself.

But Celestand soon paid the price for her pride.Of course, he is still the main team in the team training game, but Rappers always makes Lee the shooting guard of the backup team. It is this arrangement that makes Celestand feel that every team confrontation is the same kind of torment.

His ability is indeed good, and the players who can become the starters of the school team have two brushes, but when facing Li's defense, Celestand felt a huge pressure.It’s not that Li’s speed is fast and his stealing timing is accurate, but that he has a kind of madness of choosing people and devouring them, and he is also very tough in physical confrontation, which is completely different from the timid little rookie before. , Celestand even wondered if this was Li's brother.

Rappers saw all of Celestand's embarrassment, and he glanced at Chang Wei not far away with a calm face in a little surprise, and gained a new understanding of this young Chinese boy.
