Chapter 4 Bullfighting for Money

"Dididi..."

When the cell phone rang, Li Ba woke up with a start and opened his eyes.

He knew it was 6:50 in the morning, and the park management staff would come to drive away the homeless at 8:00, so he woke up at this time every day.

The first thing he does when he wakes up is to run. He carries a backpack and runs in the park for an hour at a pace of five to twelve kilometers. This is his physical training.

But the first thing he did when he woke up today was not to run, but to read the system silently. When the screen appeared, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

What the hell, it seems like I had a dream at night. I dreamed that the system was stolen by Hook and the others. It’s good that I didn’t lose it. Although it’s just a fly-catching system, it’s better than nothing, and he’s already tasted the benefits.

"Hey, Jack."

When it was almost eight o'clock in the run, Li Ba ran past a pot-bellied white administrator and said hello.

"Hurry up, Hammer, pack up your home and don't affect my work." Jack urged lukewarmly.

"soon."

Li Ba ran to Chair No. 36 and began to pack his things.

A stack of newspapers, a large piece of plastic sheeting to keep out the rain, a few cardboard shells, a bucket, an old basketball I picked up, and some garbage, I quickly packed them up, threw away the useless ones, and hid the useful ones in a corner. He cleaned it up before Jack arrived.

Of course he can still stay here, because during the day he is no longer a homeless person, but a visitor to Rock Park.

After drinking water quietly and adding enough water to his body, Li Ba came to a fast food restaurant on a nearby street with his backpack, bucket and old basketball on his back, and ordered two beef burgers.

This shop is the cheapest in the neighborhood. There are eight grades of American beef. The beef used in the shop is the lowest grade for canning. The beef in the burger is two centimeters thick, at least half a catty of beef, and a burger costs two For five dollars, he'll be full for two.

He basically lives on this hamburger, and occasionally changes it to something else. There is also Chinese food nearby, but it is not as affordable. The living expenses of about fifteen dollars a day can guarantee his calorie consumption.

This store is also where he charges his mobile phone. Of course, he has to pay, fifty cents a time, and he can charge it once every three days.

The morning schedule is full, that is, non-stop training. According to what I learned in domestic schools, plus what I learned in Rock Park these days, there are basic skills and technical training, training with the ball and training without the ball, and strength training without equipment. Anyway, it is blind training. One pass, hodgepodge.

This does not affect the fly-catching training, because there are no insects during the day, so the training can only be done at night, which means it is a little harder.

Locke Park is also very lively during the daytime. All the stadiums are surrounded by people. A large number of streetball masters and fans compete to perform. Hip-hop music and hip-hop are one of the most important elements here.

He trains in the morning, and in the afternoon Li Ba works to make money. The usual way is bullfighting or team games.

He has his own rules in bullfighting, only defending but not attacking, ten balls, one point for one ball, whoever can score six points on his head wins, five dollars or ten dollars for a game.

In the past month, besides what he had spent, he had also accumulated a few hundred dollars, because the guys who played this kind of small bets were not strong enough, and made a lot of money, so he made a living here by slaughtering weak chickens.

"Hey, everyone, here comes the hammer!"

"Hey buddy, want a bullfight?"

"Hammer, you aren't afraid, are you?"

When he came to a stadium, a large group of old blacks who knew him surrounded him, there were more than a dozen of them, people in the nearby stadium also saw him, and some people ran over and wanted to fight him.

These people themselves have no culture. They grew up on the street, and they all think they have found Li Ba's weakness, and Americans have a special kind of self-confidence. Perhaps this self-confidence comes from the confidence of a superpower. They think they can defeat Li Ba, a Chinese. .

"You, don't call me brother, either call me Hammer or Ba." Li Ba yelled at the old black who called him brother.

"Okay, dam."

You'd better lose, you bastard, after a curse, the old black shrugged.

Li Ba came under a basket, carefully tied his backpack on it, and then asked the old blacks, "Who will go?"

"Here I come! Hammer, ten dollars?"

One of the little men, Old Hei, reacted faster and rushed up immediately.

"Knife? Ten dollars is ten dollars."

This old black nicknamed Daozi has no talent, that is, he breaks through faster and is good at breaking through from the flank. Li Ba fought him once and won him five dollars. Now is he trying to take revenge?

"Use my ball."

Knife glanced at Li Ba's ball in distaste, and threw the ball in his hand over.

"Exactly."

Li Ba quickly stuffed the old ball into his backpack, then excitedly returned to Daozi, and shouted at him: "Come on, Daozi, you pest, let me kill the people today!"

"You are the pest, I am the beneficial insect, you idiot!"

"Anyway, you're a bug!"

"Shet!"

At the beginning of the bullfight, the knife did not go to the flank this time, but to the top of the arc.

Seeing that Daozi was ready, Li Ba passed the ball and Daozi began to dribble on the spot.

After these days of understanding, Knife knows that this Chinese hammer is good at blocking shots because of its long enough wingspan, but because of its slow pace, it is only good at frontal defense, so today he made some changes specifically for this.

The first is the height of the dribble. He is only 175 centimeters tall, and the ball control position is already very low. Now he deliberately compresses the height of the dribble, almost sticking to the ground, so as to avoid being copied by the hammer. Cut off.

Then the starting position of his attack changed. Instead of going directly to the wing, he started from the top of the arc.

This is because if he attacks directly from the wing, the small man is likely to be pushed to the bottom corner by the hammer of the big man and lose the space to break through.

Now attacking from the top of the arc, he has the largest room for movement, and it is difficult for the Hammer to use force to defend, so that he can transfer to the two wings to attack at any time.

The knife began to move forward with a fancy cross dribble, which won a lot of applause from the sidelines.

Li Ba took a step forward to force the knife to stop. After shaking his shoulders a few times, the knife suddenly made a throw pass from his left side, then turned right suddenly, and made a turn from his right side to pass.

Yes, the Knives are going for a gorgeous one-ball pass to get cheers from Rock Park.

This is the style of Locke Park, no matter how gorgeous it is.

Moreover, his dribbling height is very low, and he is very confident that he will not be picked up by the hammer with this ground pass.

With this ball, he wanted to break through head-on and humiliate the hammer.
