NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 8 Qi Li Breaks Gold (plus more)
"Report to the coach, I'm done running!!"

Liu Rui looked at Wallace standing in front of him, even though he had expected it, he still felt shocked at this moment.

When Liu Rui arranged 50 sets of back and forth runs for others, Liu Rui thought of Wallace alone, so he increased his training volume to 60 sets alone.

But even so, Wallace is still the first person to complete it! !

Looking at the Kapono people who were still running back and forth in the middle of the arena, everyone was panting, and the sweat on their faces was even more visible to the naked eye.

On the other hand, Gerald Wallace in front of him did not feel any discomfort except for a few drops of water stains that could be seen on both sides of his face.

Like most players, Wallace reported an official height of 206 when he first entered the league in order not to play a guard.

But Wallace's real height is actually only 201, and he has a wingspan of 218.

In the remaining physical measurement data, Wallace's vertical jump can reach an astonishing 1.05! !
You must know that Wallace is a big player with a height of more than two meters, not a small player like Nate Robinson, which shows how terrifying his personal explosive power is.

The most representative is that Gerald Wallace has another nickname in the NBA besides Elvis Presley, "Crash"! !

The translated meaning is collision, which stems from his fierce style of play.

To ease Wallace's game, teammates posted a "No Diving" warning sign on his locker.

The catchphrase comes from the fact that Wallace often takes off from the air in order to chase the hat, and then falls hard on the floor like a high diving platform.

"Report to the coach, I'm done."

"Coach, I'm done."

"Phew~ I just finished my offseason honeymoon, and I came to the 50-group switchback run. Alas, it seems that dissatisfaction is really dead, old."

As more and more people completed the turnaround training, the veteran "Steve Smith" who has been in the league for 13 years was even more tired and sat down on the ground. Liu Rui looked at the people in front of him and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Time is really a good thing. While it brings you a full face, it also represents hope...

There are still too many shortcomings in this youth army, but Liu Rui is confident that in the new season, he will have a strong sense of presence and become a black and shiny dark horse.

I even have the confidence to challenge the records of all teams in the first year after entering the NBA.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I know that some people will definitely say that I am the third fire of the new official, in order to give you a big blow."

"In fact, it is not the case. In the new season, we are a temporary patchwork team, and it is difficult to play a smooth offensive coordination."

"So if we want to be successful in the new season, we must speed up!! Others are faster than others, and we can only grab a place in a disadvantaged situation if we are faster than others."

"So our biggest enemy in the new season is "physical fitness"."

"In the new season, I will widen the rotation of the lineup, so that each of you has playing time. I will not let any of you play more than 35 minutes per game in the new season, and I will try to avoid even 30 minutes."

"Because I need to sprint with all my strength as long as you are present, without any reserved sprint!!"

"Now, Gerald Wallace, please tell me loudly first, can you do it?!"

"Yes!!" Because of screaming with all his strength, Wallace's face turned even redder.

This made the already wild-looking young man even more frightening.

"So, besides Wallace, please tell me now, are you ready to make a difference in the new season?!"

"Of course!"

"Get ready... let's go.

Looking at the crooked answers below, Liu Rui smiled lightly, but didn't mind.

Liu Rui is very clear about what these people need. If you talk about ideals with a beggar, it is better to give him a fortune. If you talk about financial management with the richest man, it is better to talk about ideals with him.

Every player who comes here hopes that he can get more opportunities, instead of throwing towels off the field to cheer one after another, and all this is exactly what Liu Rui can give.

"Okay! Very good! Then Okafor, please tell me what your dream is." Liu Rui stared at the boy genius in front of him with a smile.

Hearing that he was called by the coach, if there were not so many people present, Okafor almost danced with excitement.

The unhappiness in my heart before was completely forgotten at this time.

You must know that you are the team's No. [-] pick. Long before entering the NBA, you led the team to kill the Quartet in the NCAA, and even won the NCAA championship and MVP this year.

And he has long imagined that after entering the NBA, he will be taken care of and cultivated by the team, and treated as the hope of rising.

After coming to the Bobcats, this is indeed the case. Coach Bickerstaff took the trouble to train himself alone and did enough homework for him, which made Okafor enjoy the process very much.

But after the new coach arrived, instead, he focused on taking care of Gerald Wallace over and over again! !
A kid who has been in the league for three years and can only play as a substitute, why does he receive more attention from the coaches than me? !
Whether it is asking the players to train or shouting at the players, he is individually named by the coach, which makes Okafor feel a little uncomfortable all the time.

But after all, he is only a young man in his 20s, and his emotions are easier to write on his face. Liu Rui has always admired Okafor in this regard.

And it is true that because of his arrival, Okafor's basketball trajectory may be changed. Although Liu Rui is very confident that Okafor will be more successful than in his previous life, this process is destined not to be understood.

"Report to the coach! My dream is to become one of the top players in the NBA!! One day I will be as successful as my idol "Olajuwon"!!"

"Okay, very good, then I can tell you very responsibly now, I don't know if I can make you a successful player like "Olajuwon"."

"However, I will definitely let you have a place in this league, and people will hear your name with awe, instead of leaving because of various reasons."

"You're talented, but it just so happens that I'm good at shaping talent."

Although he didn't know why, Okafor looked at Liu Rui with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and believed what he just said very much.

Maybe this is the so-called Wang Ba... No, it's the so-called aura? ?
"It's the coach!"

If it is said that Okafor still had such a pimple in his heart, at this time Okafor has a feeling of encountering Bole.

Obviously it was the first time talking to me, but I did see a kind of confidence from him.

A kind of self-confidence that is so self-confident, although I don't know where the 31-year-old young coach in front of me comes from.

But this kind of confidence, this kind of aura, I have never seen from the coach "Bickerstaff", even the coach who led me to win the NCAA national championship in the university has never seen it...
