Chapter 19 Level 5 Flycatcher
"Hammer, come here." Frank called.
"Coach, I really didn't see him, he's a little short." Li Ba went over and argued.
"Iron Hammer, he is your teammate, you have to be clear about this. It is okay to bicker, but you must never fight, do you understand? If there is a next time, you will not even have a chance to sit on the bench this season, and then next season Go straight back to China."
Frank said seriously.
"Okay, coach, I see."
Li Ba didn't want to confront Frank, so he could only nod helplessly.
"Tie Hammer, your current inside skills still need to be honed. I need you to devote all your energy to learning and training. All your energy."
Frank said at this time, his expression and tone were very serious, even more serious than when he taught Li Ba just now.
This affected Li Ba's attitude, and he immediately said seriously: "Don't worry, coach, I train for more than twelve hours a day during the offseason. In addition, I borrowed a lot of money and hired a personal trainer, but I haven't hired one anymore. "
"Really? That's good." Hearing that there was a personal trainer, Frank nodded repeatedly.
Then he said: "Inside skills, from carrying people, blocking rebounds, single-defense and joint defense, pick-and-roll techniques, etc., all of these must be trained. Another point is that your strength training must keep up. Turning around and moving side to side is too slow, especially turning around."
"Okay, coach, I will definitely train, but you have to let someone teach me." Li Ba laughed.
"I arranged for an inside coach and a strength trainer to give you. From now on, you train with them." Frank said.
"Really, that's great!" Li Ba didn't expect that he was treated so well, and was overjoyed.
"Also, you must read the tactical manual, don't know everything when you are on the field." Frank laughed.
Seeing that Li Ba had a good attitude, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this angry guy would mess around and make him unable to step down.
This season is very important to him. If the game is unfavorable, he is likely to leave halfway. The team management has already arranged someone to replace him.
Li Ba's strength is what he values, and his attitude of focusing on inside defense is also what he values. He hopes that this undrafted pick can provide the team with some inside defense energy, so that the Suns' inside line will not be completely useless under the ravages of the Lakers. The power of resistance.
Of course, this does not mean that he will condone Li Ba's troubles in the team, Li Ba is not that important. If Li Ba really fights in the team, he will do what he says.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the day's training is over.
Li Ba was about to leave when a pair of smelly shoes were thrown in front of him with a snap. Looking up, what the hell, it's Stoudemire, a second-year rookie, who dares to let him lift his shoes?
This is an old rule in the NBA. The bully did it last year, and this year he will try to be a veteran. Two rookies, he chose Li Ba, who was more aggressive.
"Snapped!"
With a throw of his hand, the backpack was also thrown at Li Ba's feet.
Li Ba blinked, looked at the others, and they were all on the sidelines.
"Can this crazy rookie do it?"
"Amare must show his majesty, he is the future boss of this team."
Some players were talking quietly, but the voice was enough for Li Ba to hear.
"So this is the future Sun Boss?"
Li Ba was surprised. He didn't expect that Xiaobawang had such a high status in the Suns. Didn't he just win the best rookie? It's all Dayao's fault, the No. 1 pick actually lost to the No. 9 pick in the first round, it's so embarrassing!
As for carrying shoes and bags, don't even think about it, the uncle has never done this kind of thing before, no matter what unspoken rules you have, just go.
"Boy..."
He lifted his chin, just barely speaking to Stoudemire with his nostrils up.
This title directly made everyone's jaws drop, including Xiaobawang.
That's crazy, the rookie!
In an instant, Xiaobawang's face was as cold as ice.
"...Do your own thing, don't do it."
After Li Ba said this, he raised his hand and pushed Xiaobawang away, and walked away with his bag.
Xiaobawang and others were dumbfounded.
The coaches who watched on the side didn't care about it. This is an unspoken rule among players, and it can even be said to be a kind of NBA culture.
Even Frank can't control this shit, it's voluntary, and he can't just let Li Ba do it.
But from this incident, he once again saw Li Ba's character, he is a master who can only take advantage of himself and never suffers.
In a word, he has no EQ, far worse than that Chinese Yao Ke. He had heard that last year Yao did the same job of lifting shoes.
If this continues, Li Ba, who does not obey the unspoken rules, may not be able to get along well in the Suns.
Next, the preseason began, and Li Ba stayed in Phoenix for training. He didn't have any objections either. There were two coaches surrounding him. This kind of treatment was unimaginable before.
And none of his teammates asked him to lift his shoes, and the relationship was very cold.
On October 1st, which coincided with the National Day, Li Ba was upgraded.
"Congratulations to the host, the success rate of fly catching training has reached 25%, successfully promoted to level 5 fly catcher! The next level requires a 40% success rate of fly catching training."
"The success rate of fly catching is 33% in the air, 34% in the front, 25% in the left and right flanks, 8% in the rear wing, and 25% overall."
"Reward, a bottle of lubricating oil, a bottle of anti-mosquito perfume, and a bottle of snake repellent spray."
Li Ba was so happy. He remembered that the last upgrade was on July 12th, and it took almost three months to get to the next level. It was too difficult.
Another bottle of lubricating oil was awarded. Now he has tasted the benefits of this thing and likes it very much.
It’s just that the lubricating oil consumption is a bit high now, the arms are not used much once a month, the effect in other places is not as good, and there are many positions, so I use it more and more frequently, at least once every half a month, otherwise I will train too much Joints become hot.
In terms of fly catching training, he has specially strengthened his aerial training in the past two months, and his success rate is almost catching up with the frontal success rate. The success rate in the air is very important, it is related to blocking shots, and we must continue to strengthen it in the future.
On October 24, the Suns completed six preseason games and returned to Phoenix to start the final preparations for the regular season.
Over the years, Stern has been paying attention to the Chinese market. Last year, Yao Min entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick, which immediately made the NBA and basketball popular in China. The Mosaic team has even become the home team for Chinese basketball fans.
In addition to CCTV, portals such as Shenzhen TV, Sina, and Sohu have opened live webcasts and text live broadcasts.
The Sports Department of CCTV is discussing NBA broadcasting matters today, and someone put forward a motion, whether to buy some of the Suns' game broadcasting rights.
