I'm really good at shooting.

"I'm going to play for Sierra Canyon School."

He did not choose to go to Spain in the end.

Sun Hao also supported his choice.

Bob should be very good, and they are both in the United States, so it is convenient for the two to get in touch.

Of course, I made a choice, and it depends on whether the domestic side can handle it well.

Before Yi Jianlian returned to China, Sun Hao called Li Yuanwei.

China is a society of human relationships, with Li Yuanwei's help, things will go much smoother.

Li Yuanwei would not fail to help with this.

Compared with Sun Hao, Yi Jianlian, a young man who has not yet played, even if his talent is overflowing, his value is not equal.

And from the five-year agreement, it can be seen that he is not a short-sighted person.

If Yi Jianlian can play abroad, it will be good news at the national level.

The fact has indeed developed in this way.

After returning home, Yi Jianlian told his parents what he thought.

His parents rarely heard their son say what he wanted, especially after the incident in elementary school.

So when Yi Jianlian mentioned it, they fully supported it.

But the Hongyuan team naturally refused to let him go easily.

At the critical moment, Li Yuanwei, the former director of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, went to Guangdong in person.

No one knew exactly what happened, but the final result was that the Hongyuan team agreed to let him go.

And not long after that, Yi Jianlian bid farewell to his parents and boarded a plane to the United States.

He will start his high school career in Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean!

……

In September in Dallas, the air is still hot and humid.

Before he knew it, Yi Jianlian had been training with Sun Hao in Dallas for two months.

The past two months have also been painful for him.

While Baker helped Sun Hao train, he also helped Yi Jianlian practice.

Like Sun Hao's three major points, he also has three major points.

According to Baker's vision, Yi Jianlian's template is Sun Hao's future teammate Dirk Nowitzki.

To become Nowitzki, shooting must be practiced.

However, unlike Sun Hao, he did not let Yi Jianlian pursue speed, but pursued stability.

During this process, he also forced Yi Jianlian to get rid of two bad habits.

Likes to look at the three-point line before shooting, and likes to squat and shoot.

God knows how he picked up those two habits, but Beck just forced him to change, even if it was maddening at first.

Shooting is the second point, and the second point is finishing ability.

Yi Jianlian's running and jumping ability is excellent, but the finishing touch was not good, even a bit poor.

On the one hand, it is because Yi Jian's team is relatively small, and this cannot be changed.

What can change is his scoring skills and core strength, which are the key factors that determine his finishing ability.

Wiping the board, hooking, turning around, footsteps, and many small skills around the basket, it is not a matter of time for Yi Jianlian to master.

But Yi Jianlian is still young and still has a lot of time to practice.

The third point is the pick-and-roll ability.

Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll is too weak, which has something to do with strength and skill.

Strength needs to be improved by Yi Jianlian himself, but some small steps in the pick-and-roll, the timing of the pick-and-roll, these can all be practiced.

It has to be said that Yi Jianlian chose to play basketball in the United States, and the unexpected benefit was that he took advantage of Baker's wave.

Sun Hao's trainer gave him free use.

Of course, the training process is very painful.

But the pain is the pain, with Sun Hao practicing together, he also persevered.

And in mid-September, in addition to training, they have one more thing to do at night.

Stay up late watching the live broadcast.

The Olympic Games opened in Sydney. Because of the time difference, the 8:2 p.m. game over there was still [-]:[-] a.m. in Los Angeles.

18 hours of jet lag, but staying up all night did the trick.

Melon seeds and peanuts, drinking coffee, two big men sat in front of the TV and waited for the live broadcast.

The opponent of the men's basketball team in the first game is the Dream Four.

Sun Hao was only an 2000-year-old child in 8 in his last life, so of course he never watched this game.

Knocking sunflower seeds, drinking drinks, shaking calves, nervous and exciting.

The starting list of both sides came out.

Mourning, Garnett, Carter, Payton, Kidd.

This lineup looks scary.

However, after the game started, the Chinese team did not fall behind at all.

Zhang Jinsong hit a three-pointer to open the scoring for the men's basketball team.

Garnett missed a big jumper from the bottom line, and Carter made a flying dunk.

Yao Ming made Mourning bloody, Guo Shiqiang dribbled the ball like the wind, and Wang Zhizhi followed up with a layup.

Payton missed a shot, Yao Ming pointed the ball out, and the men's basketball team went on a fast break. It was still Wang Zhizhi who caught the ball in the frontcourt and made an interference ball.

9 is better than 5!

Mourning made two free throws, Guo Shiqiang was intercepted, Garnett missed a shot, and Yao Ming tapped the ball again.

It was still Wang Zhizhi, who received a sudden goal in the frontcourt, and shot Mourning directly from the outside to make a three-pointer.

12 is better than 7!

Like the Mavericks in the previous summer league, Yao Ming's interior is solid as a rock, Wang Zhizhi keeps scoring, and the Great Wall of China is young and powerful.

At this time, Sun Hao remembered the experience of playing against the men's basketball team in the summer league.

Looking back now, the opening 6-16 was really unjust.

You must know that the men's basketball team is facing a serious dream team.

The legs of the two people were shaking non-stop, and their blood was boiling.

They are looking forward to representing the national team in the future.

However, the situation is similar to that of the summer league. The men's basketball team only lasted half of the game when their substitutes and physical fitness arrived.

Team USA is not the Mavericks of summer league, pulling the score out quickly.

The men's basketball team made a perfect start. Although the difference in strength was too large in the end, they also scored 72 points, setting a record for the highest points scored by the two teams.

After the game, Yao Ming was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

This was his first Olympic game, and his performance was mediocre, with only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks.

However, because of his outstanding height and potential, as well as his outstanding performance in the summer league, he has attracted some attention from the NBA.

"How many points do you think you can get in this Olympic Games?"

"One or all?"

"Single game."

"20 points."

"Do you think you can play in the NBA?"

"can."

The reporter asked a lot of questions, but Yao Ming's answers were very concise and crisp.

This surprised Wang Zhizhi on the side.

He remembered that Yao Ming was not so confident before?

When he finally said that he could, Yao Ming raised his head and looked straight at the camera.

Through the TV screen, Sun Hao could feel Yao Ming's confidence and firmness from this word.

Sure enough, such things as personality can be seen at a young age.

What he didn't know was that Yao Ming's answer had a lot to do with the interview he had received in Long Beach.

At that time, he told the media that he would definitely play for the country and score 30 points, speaking with confidence and affirmation.

Now his No. [-] fanboy is learning how to speak from him!

……

Time flies, and it is late January in a blink of an eye.

The men's basketball team finally encountered a reversal from France. Although they won the European champion Italy, they missed the top 8 due to the relationship between victory and defeat, and finally took the 10th place.

The result is regrettable, but on the contrary, Sun Hao is looking forward to it.

Four years later, when he was 22 and Yi Jianlian was 20, it was time for them to set foot on the Olympic Games.

Of course, it's still too early to say that.

Yi Jianlian has traveled to Los Angeles to prepare for his first high school season in the United States.

And Sun Hao will also usher in his first training camp in Dallas!

His rookie season is about to start.

Chapter 105 Dallas Training Camp!

Before the training camp started, Sun Hao bought himself a car.

The car is not expensive, tens of thousands of dollars, and the means of transportation.

After two months in Dallas, he already knows how much a car can get him.

At the very least, it can save him from seeing some uncomfortable eyes.

He drives to the door.

The guard still couldn't avoid a check.

He figured he should buy the guy a titanium dog's eye.

But at this moment, his phone vibrated.

It was a message from Su Qun.

When Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian started their special training, Su Qun had already returned to China.

Counting it, he has been here in the United States for less than half a month when he came out this time.

A bit of news.

Because the results of the Sydney Olympics were not as good as expected, the original director Xin was transferred.

The adverb in front of Li Yuanwei was removed, and it was directly corrected.

It's not a big deal, because this matter seems to be reasonable.

The lineup in 96 could reach the top 8, but Yao Ming's performance was even worse after 2000. How can this work?
