Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"So, is this a genius..." Hibbert murmured to himself as he looked at Zuo Li who skillfully completed various training requirements on the court.

In the past three months, Hibbert has lost count of how many times he has uttered such an exclamation. Anyway, a lot is right, so much that this sentence has almost become his mantra now.

Oh, no, not just his, but the mantra of the entire orphanage, especially those on the basketball team.

The amount of training on the first day barely made Zuo Li sleep for 8 hours, and just eight hours later, Zuo Li stood on the court again, and this time, Hibbert's training was completely absorbed by Zuo Li, and

After only 10 days, Zuo Li was able to complete the entire set of training perfectly, and even had enough energy to do another 14-group return run after training.

"Coach, it's time to increase the amount of training."

When he heard Zuo Li say this to him calmly, Hibbert didn't know what his expression was, but it must have been wonderful. However, Hibbert was not dissatisfied at all, but nervous and excited, because,

This time he may have really met his treasure. Zuo Li is a truly talented player!

So Hibbert once again increased the amount of training. This time the amount of training was enough to put more than 90% of the people on the streets of New York beyond their reach. Even many high school players could not bear such training. However, Zuo Li still only used half of it.

I fully adapted to the training within a few months.

From that moment on, genius was on the lips of Hibbert and all the children in the orphanage. Even younger children would use the word "monster" to describe Zuo Li. After all, it only takes three days to learn any movement. You don't know what to do on the court.

Tired Zuo Li, what is he not a monster?

In three months, Hibbert increased the training content six times. By the time 1998 entered, Zuo Li's progress was visible to the naked eye, and he could often be seen playing one-on-two or even one-on-three on the court.

If Jerry could rely on experience to fight before, now he is no longer a match for Zuo Li.

And he was slowly conquered by Zuo Li.

There is no other way. Strength on the court is respected. When you stay with such a person every day, it is difficult not to admire him. In addition, Zuo Li has mentioned what happened before and gave many pointers to Jerry and others during training. Soon,

, Zuo Li became the most popular guy here.

And just two days after entering 1998, Zuo Li silently completed his first dunk in his life under the watchful eyes of the entire welfare institution.

Bang!

When the basketball exploded into the hoop and Zuo Li was hanging on the hoop, the entire orphanage was in a boil. Hibbert even slid to his knees on the concrete floor. Mr. Derek and everyone were dumbfounded. He couldn't do this.

Does it hurt?

The pain is painful, but the excitement is also really exciting.

An 8-year-old child's dunk would be unbelievable anywhere, but it actually happened before their eyes, which proves one thing: genius is really being born in front of their eyes.

But Zuo Li remained calm, just waved his hand and continued his training. After that, Zuo Li didn't dunk again. Even in the subsequent training, Zuo Li stopped dunking. Instead, he used more different techniques.

His layup skills also disappointed the onlookers.

But Zuo Li has his own ideas. Of course dunks are good, passionate and shocking, and fans love to watch them, but this is not the most important thing at the moment. On the contrary, he has seen many big men before, and they relied too much on dunks and ignored them.

When it comes to polishing one's own skills, when I'm young, it's natural for me to say hello to everyone, but by the end of my career, I'll realize the pain of not having skills.

No, Master Huo.

So Zuo Li secretly made a decision. Before his skills are honed, he will never dunk if he can.

So the guys who expected Zuo Li to show off dunks in training were doomed to be disappointed, and Zuo Li's life continued to return to normal. In addition to training every day, he just learned some basic knowledge. The basketball world outside was in full swing, and the afterglow of Mr. Joe still shrouded him.

The world is changing, but Harlem has a hint of peace and tranquility.

Under such circumstances, a quiet and restful trip changed Zuo Li's basketball path.

It was an afternoon in February. Zuo Li, who had finished training, did not train himself as usual, but decided to go out for a walk while the sky was still bright. In the six months since he came here, his life has almost been

The furthest distance from this orphanage is no further than this street, and today, Zuo Li planned to go a little further to have a look.

After all, in addition to being notoriously dangerous, Harlem is also the center of New York street culture. Many classics are still worth visiting. Needless to say, Rucker Park is the place that Zuoli will conquer in the future, so it is not today’s goal.

Zuo Li is going to walk to 130th Street today.

When it comes to 130th Street, one person cannot be avoided, a person who has heard of his name even if he doesn't play street ball.

Earl McNicholte, nicknamed--The Goat!

The goat who was born in New York set foot on the streets early. All kinds of terrible temptations are devouring the young man's future every day. Perhaps because there is no money in his pocket, the "goat" did not get into other bad habits when he was a teenager. Fortunately

Obsessed with basketball.

Almost every night on the corner of 130th Street, people can see a skinny black kid barely dunking. Some passers-by stopped to laugh at the "goat"'s clumsy dunk - they didn't know that there was something in the "goat's" socks.

Tie two heavy sandbags.

This is where the goat legend begins.

Turn right from the orphanage block, and 15 minutes later, Zuo Li is walking on the street of 130th Street. There is not much difference between this place and the place where Zuo Li lives. Of course, the security will be slightly better.

This is why Zuo Li dared to come here so arrogantly.

Zuo Li stopped at the court at the corner of 130th Street. The court was still full of people playing street ball. But on a small sign on the side of the court, Zuo Li found the name of Earl McNicolter.

There is no doubt that even today, he is still a legend here.

"It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see you play." Zuo Li stood in front of the sign and said with a smile, then rubbed his head, feeling a little funny about the purpose of his impulsive trip.

Yes, Zuo Li wanted to see with his own eyes the place where the Goat played. After all, even in the era when Zuo Li played before time travel, the name of the Goat had always existed in people's word of mouth.

Since he had traveled through time, Zuo Li naturally wanted to see with his own eyes what the situation was like here, but Zuo Li was wrong. The stadium itself was no different, and the legendary goat was not here either.

"Hey boy, what's so cool about a brand?"

And just when Zuo Li was about to turn around and leave, a rich voice came from behind Zuo Li.

Zuo Li turned around and saw a black uncle standing there, stooped, with a wine bottle in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand, with fresh hops on his gray beard...

"What the hell…"
