"Dayao, don't play around in three months, I will give you a training plan, you know?" He said after meeting.
"I know, Brother Tiejun, I won't be lazy." Dayao said with a smile.
"How high are you now?"
Lao Wang looked Dayao up and down, and after more than half a year, he became stronger.
"224 centimeters." Dayao said.
"That's almost it. Now that I've started strength training, I can only sprint for a while, but I won't grow any taller." Lao Wang said.
Lao Hu then asked with a smile: "Dayao, are you looking for a girlfriend at school?"
Dayao blushed, laughed, touched the back of his head, and shook his head.
"What about you, Lao Hu?" Lao Wang asked.
"I have it!" Old Hu said.
"Domestic?" Lao Wang asked.
Lao Hu said with a happy face: "My middle school classmate is from Xuzhou. Her name is Yu Hui. She is now a freshman at the Naval Medical University. I made a clear relationship with her before I came here. We will get married when she graduates from college."
"Not bad!"
Lao Wang nodded and asked Dayao again: "What about you? Are you looking for it in China too?"
"No, no, I'm still young."
Dayao, who blushed greatly, shook his head quickly.
The three of them got into the car while chatting and drove directly back to Lao Wang's home.
Dayao will stay here for two days, watch a game, and then set off back to China with Lao Hu.
They have been away from home for so long and want to go home early. Unlike Lao Wang, who has now adapted to life abroad, they are still adapting.
After settling in Dayao, Lao Wang thought that his two sisters were also on vacation, so he called the eldest sister.
"Sister, do you want to go home directly during the holiday, or come to my place to play for a while?"
"Your second sister and I will stay here. If we don't go home yet, we don't have time!" Da Ya said.
"No, it's holiday. What are you busy with?" Lao Wang said he didn't understand.
"Old man, your second sister and I went to college a few years later than others. Now we have to use all our time to catch up and make up for the time wasted before."
"Oh, okay, okay. Where is the second sister?"
"She's still in the laboratory."
"oh……"
"Stop talking, I have to go to the laboratory. I have three experiments to do today. I'm in a hurry. I'll call you next time."
"I called you, why didn't you call me?"
Before he finished speaking, the eldest sister hung up, and Lao Wang reluctantly put down the phone. These two sisters rarely called him when they came to the United States. They always called him, and they never came to him.
Are you obsessed with reading?
"David, Yao has arrived in Phoenix. When will you arrive?" He called David Frank again.
"I'm about to get on the plane. I'll arrive in Phoenix at 6 p.m." David Frank said happily over there.
"Okay, he's at the martial arts gym. You can just go to the martial arts gym to see him."
After Lao Wang finished explaining, he hung up the phone and said to Dayao: "David Frank is a top agent. He can help you when you enter the league. Of course, it's just a first meeting. You can't sign an agent now. You have to be famous in the draft.
Only then can you sign a professional agent.”
"Oh, I got it."
Dayao only turned 17 in September. He didn't understand this and didn't have any opinions. He just nodded. His parents also told him that he would listen to his brother Tiejun here.
"Let's go, let's go to the martial arts studio."
Lao Wang greeted Dayao and Lao Hu, and took them to the martial arts hall for lunch.
Dameng and Glider spent the day in the martial arts gym, or went to the fighting hall to have fun, and ate when they arrived. They lived a very comfortable life.
"Here, let me introduce you. Yao Min, I am almost 17 years old, and I am a fellow countryman."
Lao Wang introduced Dameng, Glider, Lei Gong and the others to Dayao.
"How high is it?"
Dameng stood next to Dayao and found that he had to look up to this young man, who was a lot shorter.
"At least 230 centimeters." Lei Gong said.
"No, the naked height is 224 centimeters." Lao Wang said.
"Old K, this kid has great talent. I have watched his games. If he is drafted after his senior year, I think he will be very strong and his skills are mature. He may be at the top when he debuts, and he is guaranteed to be a top five lottery pick.
." Glider nodded.
"He is too young, he will only turn 20 in three years, and his body is not yet mature. He should be very good when he enters the league, but he will definitely have some room for growth as his body grows, so he cannot be called the peak after his debut.
"Dameng shook his head and said.
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "If we don't talk about this now, he is not yet 17 years old and will definitely have to finish his senior year before entering the league."
At this point, he said to Dameng: "Dameng, if you have time, teach him the steps of Dream, don't be stingy."
"That's not easy. My pace requires a lot of flexibility and balance, and the most demanding thing is coordination." Dameng said.
"His pace is already good, and the training I give him has always included these three basic qualities. I think it is OK. Even if the dream pace cannot reach your height, it is still good to learn 80 to 90% of it." Lao Wang
said.
"As long as he's willing to learn, I'll have no problem here." Dameng nodded.
Anyway, he is older and has no competitiveness with this young man. He will almost retire in three years, so it doesn’t matter if he teaches others.
Dayao's listening and speaking skills are now barely above the standard. When he heard Dameng's words, he laughed excitedly.
Brother Tiejun has a different style than him. The template given to him is Dameng, the three super centers. Now Dameng is willing to teach him the steps he is most proud of, which is the best.
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to teach him, I will give you a 50% discount on your purchases at the K martial arts gym." Lao Wang lured him.
"It's a deal," Dameng said immediately.
He is now in a state of retirement. This season he does not take medicated baths and massage with medicated oil every day as before, but he still uses them frequently to maintain his health. Adding in the occasional chicken, he will consume close to 300,000 US dollars a year.
Yes, a 50% discount can save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why not agree to this?
"What about me?"
The glider looked at Lao Wang with his mouth wide open, I also want a 50% discount.
Lao Wang said angrily: "What did you teach him, guard skills?"
The glider was stunned for a moment and looked at Dayao, thinking that he might as well forget it.
"No, I can learn!" Lao Hu said at this time.
Lao Wang was startled, Lao Hu, don't join in the fun. You are already your age. You will be almost thirty soon. Thirty is not far from fifty. When a person reaches fifty, half of his body is buried in the earth. What else do you have to learn?
ah?
"It's a deal." Glider said quickly at this time.
"It's a deal, why don't I say anything?" Lao Wang said angrily.
"Then I don't care. Anyway, I'll teach Hu Weiwei techniques and you'll give me a 50% discount." Glider said shamelessly.
"Okay, okay." Lao Wang could only nod.
Anyway, small profits but quick turnover. If you earn more but earn less, maybe these two guys will give it a 50% discount and think, oh, it’s so cheap? Then spend more, won’t you make up for the less you earn?
After he finished, he told Dameng and the two of them: "You need to teach offensive techniques, and you also need to teach defense, but you can't hide your secrets."
After some discussion, Dayao and Lao Hu decided to postpone their return to China for a month and first stay in Phoenix to learn skills for a month.
Dameng and Glider were very happy and decided to call all their families over. They would eat free chicken every day for a month and take a full set of medicinal oils and medicinal baths. Anyway, Mr. K was rich, so if you don’t use it cheaply, you won’t get it.
…
At almost seven o'clock in the evening, David Frank arrived at the K martial arts gym and met Dayao.
His attitude was quite enthusiastic and he said to Yao with certainty: "Yao, I believe in your potential. You are definitely the next super center."
"No, I dare not take it seriously."
Dayao hesitated rather shyly.
"I even think that the starting point for you to enter the league in three years will be higher than that of Old K." David Frank said with a smug look on his face.
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I compete with Brother Tiejun?" Dayao said quickly.
David Frank laughed and said: "Don't worry, Yao, if you sign under my banner in three years, I will definitely give you the best resources and I will never treat you badly."
After chatting for a while, a group of people rushed to the American West Arena. The G2 game was about to begin.
At eight o'clock, both sides announced the starting lineup, which was unchanged from the previous game.
Jazz: Campbell, Karl Malone, Brian Russell, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Rasheed Wallace, Robert Horry, Kidd, Kevin Johnson
"Let's see if there are any adjustments to the Jazz's tactics tonight. Jerry Sloan has good abilities. They should strengthen the rotation to solve Campbell's physical problem." Zhang Lili said.
Su Qun said: "I think foul tactics may be used. Although Lao K's free throw shooting rate is okay, almost the same as his field goal shooting rate, it will not have any impact on his efficiency, but constant fouls can interrupt Lao K's shooting percentage." K's rhythm and extending the game time will help Campbell recover his physical fitness."
Nodding, Zhang Lili said: "After I come on the bench, I will definitely use foul tactics."
Su Qun smiled and said: "Old K was really stable in the playoffs, and his free throw shooting rate was no different from the regular season, both around 62%.
I collected information on O'Neal's free throw rate. His free throw shooting rate in the playoffs was not as stable as that of Old K. It was higher or lower than in the regular season.
But this time in the playoffs, his free throw shooting percentage was higher than in the regular season. In the regular season, it was 48%, but in the playoffs, it actually reached 61%."
"Excellent performance." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"Haha, that's right." Su Qun laughed.
Zhang Lili analyzed: "Because of the existence of the Tiejun, as a behemoth center of the same type, O'Neal must be under great pressure. He should also be the Tiejun's most powerful opponent in the future."
At 8:30, the G2 game of the Western Conference Finals officially begins.
In the main lineup, the Jazz could still struggle with the Suns, neither of them had a clear advantage.
Campbell and the Postman teamed up to greatly restrict Lao Wang. He could not easily hit the basket and could only shoot from the outside. Therefore, like the previous game, he increased the number of points and created opportunities for his teammates.
At the 8th minute of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 15:17. The Suns were leading by two points. The Jazz had the ball and called a timeout.
In the TNT live broadcast, special guest Barkley said: "Old K's touch was average today. He made 2 of 4 shots in the half quarter and 0 of 2 free throws. He only scored 4 points. In addition, he had 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 turnover and 1 foul.
The data. Others feel pretty good.”
Bill Walton shook his head and said: "The four attacks were all nearly two-point shots. Today, Campbell and the Postman teamed up to block Old K's way to the basket. One of his mistakes was that the ball was stolen when he was attacking the basket.
The 50% shooting rate is in line with Old K’s nearly two-point shooting rate. Normally, this shooting rate is already very good in the league, usually at or below 40%.”
Bass Felton said: "The Suns took 14 shots in the first eight minutes, and Old K touched the ball 10 times in these 14 shots. In other words, most of the Suns' offense passed through his hands.
This shows the high tactical status of Old K in the Suns.
Touched the ball 10 times, made 4 shots, and made one turnover. The remaining five times he chose to pass the ball, passing the ball three times to Rasheed Wallace, who was the first to appear open, once to the Lightning, and once to Horry.
One assist, one indirect assist, actually the efficiency is still good."
Barkley nodded and said: "I missed the free throw today a little bit, I was not lucky enough."
At this time the timeout ended, the Jazz replaced Campbell and sent in substitute center Ostertag.
Jerry Sloan saw that Old K missed two free throws and decided to foul.
This time, it really caught Wang Tiejun's fate today. He didn't know what happened today, but he just couldn't score the free throw.
In the next three minutes, Ostertag fouled twice in a row, sending him to the free throw line. He made 1 of 4 shots. Including the previous ones, he made 1 of 6 free throws.
The free throws here were weak, and the Jazz took the opportunity to chase points and overtake the score.
Danny Ainge had no choice but to take him off the field and let Williams play on top.
After the first quarter, at 26:24, the Jazz led by two points.
Zhang Lijia shook his head and said: "The shooting percentages of both sides are actually average, and the defense is very strong. The main problem of the Suns is that the Tiejun's offense is not smooth and the free throw luck is not good."
"There's nothing I can do about free throws. Old K's hands are too big and too hard. A 60% hit rate is pretty good. Sometimes I'm unlucky, like today." Su Qun said with a smile.
"Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed.
Soon after, the next section continues.
For the Suns, Wang Tiejun, who took a minute's rest in the first quarter, came on the court again.
On the Jazz side, Jerry Sloan was very courageous and decisive. Seeing that Old K made one of six free throws, he continued to send a human shield on the court and still used foul tactics.
But this time, Lao Wang's luck was not as bad as in the first quarter. It was not bad. He made 2 of 4 free throws in the first three minutes and 1 of 2 other shots, scoring 4 points.
Jerry Sloan was very calm and did not rush to replace Campbell. He wanted to try Laowang's free throw again. Because Ostertag committed three fouls, he replaced him with a substitute inside man and continued to implement foul tactics.
In the following time, Wang Tiejun's free throws returned to normal levels, hitting 3 of 5 free throws again. In the 9th minute of the second quarter, the Suns equalized the score.
At this time, Jerry Sloan called a timeout.
He was going to replace Campbell with the postman and let him take a rest to prepare for the second half.
On the Suns side, Danny Ainge also wanted to replace K. K., who only rested for one minute in the first quarter and had no rest in the second quarter. However, they were afraid that K. would go down and the Jazz would take the opportunity to open up the score and did not dare to substitute.
As a result, when the timeout ended and the players came on the court, he found that the Jazz had replaced the postman. At this time, he regretted that he should have replaced the old K.
"Old K, strengthen the attack and widen the point difference."
He kept working hard, hoping that when the postman was not present, the team could take advantage of the score and lay a foundation for the lead in the second half.
On the Jazz side, Jerry Sloan saw that Old K continued to play, and decisively ordered Adam Keefe, who came on as a substitute for the postman, to switch to guard Old K, asking him to continue to execute foul tactics, and letting Campbell guard Rasheed Wallace.
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley said: "The two quarters are almost over, and the Jazz should hope to win this game. Coach Jerry Sloan boldly used foul tactics, and the Suns' touch was not good.
When I was on the court, I held on and even overtook the score."
Bill Walton nodded and said: "Now the Postman is resting again. If the Suns cannot seize this opportunity to open up the score, Campbell and the Postman will play at the same time in the second half. With the state of the Suns today, there may be problems."
Bass Felton said: "I think we can replace old K. He has scored 14 points so far and has scored 9 points in the second quarter. The postman is not on the court, so we can give him a rest."
"Danny Ainge is a bit conservative. Now that he is overly consuming K's physical energy, it will not be good for the next series." Barkley said.
"Beep!"
On the court, when Lao Wang was catching the ball and attacking, Adam Kife made a decisive foul and hugged him. Although he did not fall, the referee blew the whistle.
"What the hell!"
Lao Wang cursed hard, high-fived his teammates, and walked to the free throw line.
"I just made 3 of 5 free throws. The Jazz, who are so bad, dare to use foul tactics. God of the basket, please bless me with great luck. I can kill the Jazz, who are so bad, with free throws."
Standing on the free throw line, he stared at the basket and began to have random thoughts in his mind. He even bent over with his hands clasped together and bowed solemnly.
"What is this for?"
"Is this a lucky move by Old K before taking a free throw?"
"I've never seen it before! No, I think I did it once."
Countless Americans stared with wide eyes, including Lao Wang's teammates and coaching staff.
"Could it be that through this act of worshiping God, Old K can gain some kind of mysterious power?" On the bench, Kobe became interested.
"Old K, what is this? Haha..." Su Qun laughed.
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "You don't ask God for anything, and you are just trying to make ends meet. Is Tiejun in a hurry?"
The referee threw the ball to Lao Wang with a weird look on his face, and Lao Wang started to make habitual movements. With the blessing of the Basket God, he was very confident.
Take a deep breath and throw the ball decisively.
"brush!"
"Ha ha……"
When the ball flew past the basket, he laughed proudly.
After high-fiving his teammates in celebration, he started his second free throw.
"brush!"
Another empty shot into the net, and he made both free throws.
"Haha, come on, boys, I'm going to kill you with free throws." He shouted excitedly to a group of Jazz players.
