Chapter 16 Signing with a Top Agent

The next afternoon, the Suns official website updated the official player information, and Li Ba's profile appeared on it.

The American media was not too surprised. The NBA is like this. Most second-round picks have no chance to sign, but some undrafted picks have the opportunity to sign.

There are many reasons. Some teams do not have the right to draft, and they do not have the right to sign for the second-round picks. Therefore, it is common to pick players in the undrafted picks. This is the case with the Suns.

However, in the next few days, as the news spread back to the country, coupled with the exclusive report of the Sports Weekly, it caused a stir in the country. After all, Li Ba is the fourth domestic player to officially land in the NBA, and even CCTV 5 has broadcast the news.

"Li Ba, you kid really succeeded?"

"Hey, Coach Liu, you teach well!"

"Now the school is talking about you. There is a lot of buzz. Are you okay over there?"

"Very good, coach, thanks to you taught me a lot of defensive knowledge, I rely on this to make a living. The season is over, and I will go back and treat you to a big meal."

"With your body and physical fitness, what can you do if you don't play defense? But on offense, you should strengthen your ability to attack the second time. If you grab a rebound, don't just throw it to your teammates. Yao Min is good at practicing small hooks and so on. Well, your arm is longer than his, even in the NBA, I don't think many people can block your small hook."

"Okay, I know, I must practice."

Li Ba received a call from Liu Baile, the coach of the university team. He didn't tell a few people his number here, and Liu Baile was one of them.

In addition, he also received a lot of domestic phone interviews. It was fresh at the beginning, but it got annoying when there were too many, and he often interrupted his training. In the end, he had to choose to turn off the phone during training.

In the following time, he practiced strength in the apartment every morning, and the conditions were a bit simple. He only purchased a few small equipment, trained with balls in the open-air court in the afternoon, and practiced fly catching in the evening.

He has to practice for five hours every night, and he can perform about two to three thousand fly-catching trainings per hour, and he can train more than 10,000 times in one night.

During training that day, several prompts suddenly appeared in the system.

"Congratulations to the host for completing five thousand successful fly-catching trainings."

"The training success rate is 20% in the air, 24% in the front, 13% in the left and right flanks, slightly equal to zero in the rear wing, and 14% overall."

"Training effect, flexibility +1, explosive power +1, speed +1."

"Special reward items, a bottle of lubricating oil, and a bottle of snake repellent spray."

After reading the tips, Li Ba is in a great mood. Fly catching training can improve physical fitness, so why worry about it?

Host: Li Ba

Occupation: Level 3 Flycatcher (There are nine levels in total, the next level is the upgrade condition, and the success rate of fly catching reaches 16%)

Flycatcher's physical fitness: strength 93, stamina 85, nerve reaction speed 72, flexibility 52, explosive power 62, speed 56

Flycatcher Talent Skill: Level 1 Lock

In particular, the flexibility has increased a little. This quality is very important to him. It can make his muscles less stiff and make his speed faster. Whether it is shooting or moving, it is beneficial.

Moreover, the effect of this kind of training also shows that his physical fitness can be enhanced and changed. Regardless of whether the effect is caused by the system or the result of his own training, it is enough to have an effect anyway.

"Is there a snake repellant spray? I don't know how it works. I'll use it tomorrow."

Seeing this reward, he felt happy for a while. He had seen rattlesnakes many times in the past few days, and when he heard the sound of wagging his tail, his hairs stood on end.

He took it out and saw that it was the same white spray tube as the mosquito killer on the market.

A bottle of this thing won't last long, and he doesn't plan to use it indiscriminately. During training, spray a circle on the ground around it, like sprinkling realgar wine, to prevent insects from entering.

"There's another bottle of lubricating oil. It should be of average value. It's a consumable. Try it today." After taking the snake repellent back, Li Ba took out another bottle of lubricating oil.

I have done 50,000 fly-catching trainings in the past few days. I have implanted fly swatters in my shoulder joints. I don’t seem to feel any fatigue. The fever is not obvious, but the leg joints, especially the knee joints, have obvious fever and fatigue. The speed is very large, and he wants to use this thing for the leg joints.

I opened the bottle cap and sniffed it. It smelled a bit strange, but I couldn't tell what it was. It didn't smell bad. I poured a little on the palm of my hand. It was a colorless liquid with a strong burning sensation, like a very spicy chili pepper.

Li Ba hurriedly wiped his knees on both sides. It was hot, and he felt that the heat was very penetrating, directly penetrated into the flesh, and then went directly towards the bones and ligament joints.

"So comfortable!"

Li Ba quickly kicked off his sneakers and socks, and painted his ankles and feet. As a heavy inside line, this is where it is easy to get tired.

After wiping my legs, I started to rub my back again. His long arms worked now, and he was fine wiping his back.

"It's better to rub a little on the arm and shoulder joints. The system has reminded me that this is the lubricating oil used here."

After wiping his back and other places, Li Ba thought about it and felt that he still couldn't save money.

Although according to the system, the damage resistance ability of his arms has increased by 100% because of the implanted fly swatter, but this does not mean that he will not be injured. It is better to be careful, and the injury will be over. I heard that fatigue injury is the last troublesome.

And the system says to lubricate it once a month, which also means that even the built-in fly swatter needs maintenance.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, Bill Duffy came to Phoenix and signed an agent contract with Li Ba.

The NBA's salary percentage is the stipulated five points, while other advertising sponsorship income is fifteen points, which is also a rule.

"Hammer, are you training here?" Standing on the open-air court under the apartment, Duffy asked in surprise.

This is too crude and unsafe, what if I fall and get hurt? This is not the training condition that a player who entered the NBA should have at all.

"It's a good place, but few people use it." Li Ba was very satisfied with it.

"No, no, no, you have to go to a better indoor training ground. Also, you need professional trainers and personal trainers." Duffy shook his head.

"But I have no money." Li Ba said bluntly.

"That's no problem. The agency company will pay you in advance. It's normal in the NBA." Duffy laughed.

"Really?" Li Ba asked in surprise.

In this way, Bill Duffy stayed in Phoenix for five days and arranged a training hall for Li Ba, as well as a basketball coach and a strength trainer.

The basketball coach, according to Li Ba's request, is a professional defensive coach named Boris. The strength trainer was called Howfield.

After reading Li Ba's physical test data and two training sessions, Bill Duffy also gave some training suggestions to speed up and be sensitive.

After careful analysis, strength trainer Hohfeld said: "Although the muscles of the hammer have been finalized, there are many potentials that have not been tapped. What I have to do is to use professional strength training to tap his physical potential. , I believe there will be a big improvement in the short term.”

"That would be great!" Duffy nodded and smiled.
