Chapter 9 I'm Not a Pest

"Listen, boy, if you still want to play in the NBA, you have to take your temper away. This is my advice to you from former NBA player and current coach of the Suns, Frank Johnson." Frank told Lee sincerely. said the dam.

Of course Li Ba could feel Frank's sincerity. He just had a bad temper, and he had to act like a hedgehog when he came here alone. He nodded and said:

"Mr. Coach, thank you, I will consider it. But we were singled out just now, but our No. 5 pick in the first round didn't seem to understand what singled out is. Of course, if they want to play two-on-one or three-on-one, I You can also promise that I'll beat 'em up with my fist."

Frank smiled bitterly and nodded, seeing that Li Ba's emotions seemed to be under control, he didn't say anything more.

But he thought for a while and asked again: "I think your wingspan seems to be longer than your scout report, is it not accurate?"

"Really? I don't really understand this. The university I studied in China didn't have a sports major, and I didn't do a physical test. In fact, I don't know what my wingspan is, and there is no such data in the information I gave to the league. That The scouting report was completed within half an hour by the scouts. They were in a hurry and had to catch a plane to go to other draft players." Li Ba nodded.

"Can you spread your palms apart? Try your best to spread them apart. I think your palm width is not right when you catch the ball," Frank said again.

"My God, that scouting report really lied to everyone, it's so irresponsible!"

When Li Ba stretched his palms apart, Frank was an experienced man, so he didn't need to measure it. He knew at a glance that it was absolutely impossible to be only 24 centimeters, and it was almost 30 centimeters. These are definitely the palms of a superstar.

"Is it really wrong?"

Chen Hong also came here, looked at Li Ba's huge palms, and asked in a trembling voice.

With a physique of the yellow race, it is not easy to have such a pair of big hands and long arms in China. Absolutely no one in a billion, he was completely ignored by him.

Thinking about the national popularity when Yao entered the NBA last year, compared with Li Ba's current obscurity, he feels more and more that he did something wrong. At the beginning, he should have stayed and watched Li Ba play, or measured him himself. Was it difficult to measure with a ruler?

Frank looked back at D'Antoni, intending to call him over, but thought that this assistant didn't like Li Ba very much, so he dismissed the idea, turned to Li Ba and said:

"Iron Hammer, control your temper. After this game, let me see your ability. Understand? I want to see your defense, I don't need your offensive ability."

Li Ba's spirit lifted, his heart beat wildly, and he nodded repeatedly.

He is not stupid, knowing that the head coach in front of him might give him a chance, so now is actually equivalent to a trial training? Haha, lovely Mr. Giraffe, thank you, I will treat you better.

At this time, D'Antoni also got over there and walked over with Bosh. Wade and James also walked out of the half court without following.

"Hey, No. 4 pick, since you don't like to watch me attack, why don't you follow my rules, you attack and I defend? Five goals score three goals and you win." Li Ba said at this time.

Bosh was taken aback for a moment, he looked back at Wade and James, they nodded to him, and he also nodded to Li Ba and said: "OK!"

"Come on, let's see how the uncle kills you, a long-necked pest!" Papapa, Li Ba clapped his hands excitedly, and said to Bosh.

"Shet, I'm not a pest, don't call me a nickname!" Bosh said angrily.

"Okay, Chris, don't be angry, catch the ball." At this time D'Antoni threw the ball over.

"What did he call you just now?" Off the court, Wade asked James.

James' face was dark, and he glared at Wade and said, "I know what he called you."

"This bastard, my cheeks are the most sexual part of my body, he doesn't know how to appreciate them at all." Wade cursed gently stroking his cheeks.

"Ha ha!"

They were not the only ones here, and the people who heard it burst into laughter.

"Shut up, big cheeks, you're making a fool of yourself." James said angrily.

"I see, old man who is a high school student." Wade immediately responded.

Bosh attacks and advances with the ball at the top of the arc.

He tried back hitting first, but he really couldn't stand it. Li Ba stood on horseback, raised his arms up, and didn't even need to put his hands on his waist. So he immediately changed the way of propulsion, dribbled the ball continuously on the outside, and after using his speed to pull away half a body, he started to break through from the right wing.

"The speed of parallel movement is still slow, and the ability to assist in defense is not enough. However, with those long arms, after some practice, you can still participate in assisting defense." Frank thought secretly.

He watched Li Ba's two bullfights earlier, and saw his excellent single-defense ability. But that is because the opponent is too weak to count. Now facing the offense of the No. 4 pick in the first round, the positions are similar, and they are all inside. This is the best color test board.

Li Ba rushed over and did not intercept Bosh in front, but squeezed the latter with his chest on the left side of Bosh, while his right arm was drooping and his left arm was raised high, in the space above the latter's head and in front of him Constantly waving, this is to prevent Bosh from stopping jumpers or floaters.

With his long arm and giant palm, this wave completely covered Bosh's shooting direction.

Bosh is capable of mid-range and long-range shooting, with relatively fast speed and sensitive movements, but now that his shooting space is blocked by Li Ba, he can only continue to break through.

That's what Li Ba thinks. His speed is slow and he is not as sensitive as Bosh. Get rid of him.

There is a rule in the art of war that lures the enemy deep, and it refers to this.

But it’s no use just letting him in. You need to pay attention to how and where you put it. This requires squeezing and forcing him on the way to let him in, slowing down his breakthrough speed, so that he can’t get the best shot position. This will form a successful defense.

His college coach told him that successful defense is not about blocking shots or stealing. There are too few chances like that and it needs luck. The shooting position, forcing the offensive player to shoot or pass the ball in an unfamiliar position, reducing his shooting percentage, is a successful defense.

Now, that's what he does.

"Single defense is really good."

Frank nodded secretly, this action played a defensive role, but there was no foul.

Bosh broke into the restricted area, but he was almost squeezed to the bottom line due to his weak strength, so he had no shot space at all, and it was difficult to dribble.

But after all, he is the No. 4 pick of the genius, especially the No. 4 pick of the Platinum generation. There are many ways to solve this dilemma.
