The rest is just noise

As soon as the transactions of Turkoglu and Ginobili were completed, Louis officially entered the off-season.

There is not much business before him. The only thing left to do is to wait for the new season to start and see if Isiah Thomas can lead this international team into the playoffs.

To be fair, although there are mostly young players, Louis has selected elite players and veterans like Latrell Sprewell to support the team. As long as Thomas doesn't mess around, it shouldn't be difficult to make the playoffs.

With his spare time, Louis found Gaston and his son to complete the transfer of 13% of the shares.

What left Louis speechless was that when the deal was originally agreed, 13% of the Celtics' shares were worth less than 47 million. As time passed, his joining and the arrival of players such as Yao Yueban increased the team's market value.

It's gone up.

Louis finally spent $58 million to complete the acquisition of 13% of the shares. This was the largest sum of money he ever spent in his life.

The mother at home did not understand what shares were specifically, so Louis gave him an analogy. There were 100 cookies in a box of cookies, and he owned 16 of them.

Li Xuanbing rolled his eyes at him: Are you stupid? What kind of biscuits are worth spending so much money on? Louis couldn't explain this in a few words. He could only guarantee that this transaction would not lose money.

If the old mother still has doubts, Louis can only ask her to review the development of professional basketball in the past few decades. She once kicked Louis out of the house because he dropped out of school to become a scout. Now look, who is right and who is wrong?

Li Xuanbing thought about it and felt that the NBA will continue to develop. Although he has invested a lot of money now, he will definitely make it back in the future. Louis, who became the team's small owner, has become more low-key.

During the off-season, he rarely appeared at the Waltham Training Center.

Louis spends more time in his private life. He insists on exercising and attending various gatherings of wealthy people. In addition to these, he will also take time to watch his son's games.

At the beginning of his senior year of high school, Lu Wuxia's explosive performance once swept the country. However, when he began to improve his skills under Louis' instruction, his performance declined significantly.

Throughout his senior season, Wu Xia averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 45%. Since he started playing, his shooting percentage has not been so low.

Fortunately, his performance was comprehensive enough, and some scouts noticed that he had changed his shooting movements. This kind of precautionary choice is bound to have a period of struggle.

By the standards of a super talent, a flawless performance could be considered mediocre, but LeBron James, who hails from the Akron town of Cleveland, Ohio, has become the new darling of high school basketball.

"SIAM" magazine reporter Ryan Jones wrote in his article: The 16-year-old LeBron James is six feet seven inches tall (201CM) and has a skill set and physical fitness that we have never seen before. He may

Is the best high school basketball player in the country.

There are so many star-making articles like this that an anonymous confidant of James said that the 16-year-old LeBron already has the ability to play in the NBA, and he will ask the NBA to allow him to participate in the 2002 NBA draft.

Conference. Except for James, no other high school player dared to directly reject college basketball at this stage.

For decades, Louis heard the names of future stars every year.

The last time the name frequently rang in his ears was Duncan, and the last time it was O'Neal.

But neither Duncan nor O'Neal has received as much publicity as James. This is also a characteristic of the Internet age.

Although social media has not yet risen, learning about new things through the Internet has become mainstream in developed countries. The scope of communication is wide and far-reaching, and the audience is not selected, which is something that neither television nor newspapers can do.

At first, Louis would make fun of James in front of his son.

But he discovered that Wu Xia and James already knew each other after the last city challenge.

Hearing that James has replaced him as the number one player in high school basketball, Wu Xia has no feeling. He is troubled by the impact of technological transformation every day.

Louis is also very concerned about flawless technical improvements.

Coupled with the help of many NBA stars, Flawless's technical transformation has gone smoothly. However, Louis is not satisfied with his new shooting action.

He spent a lot of time studying the flawless new shooting action, focusing on his performance against players with superior physical fitness. He determined that although the new action made the shooting point higher and took advantage of his height, if

Once you reach the NBA level, you will also be seriously disturbed by those tough guys with the strongest physical fitness on the planet.

This is related to Fuxian's instant explosive power. His physical fitness is above average, but his instant explosive power is relatively mediocre in the NBA.

The inherent defect of explosive power cannot be changed, but the shooting speed can be improved through acquired training, such as changing the double-action shooting posture to a single-action shooting posture.

At this time, there was no figure like Curry in the basketball world to popularize the importance of single-action shooting, but Louis, a time traveler, was very clear about this.

Double-action shooting helps the attackers on the wings to complete the shot after combining various actions.

Single-action shooting is a powerful weapon in the three-point era. The shot is fast and accurate. Even if it is a long-distance shot that ignores the three-point line, as long as it is practiced proficiently, the hit rate can still be guaranteed.

The most important thing is that once the ball-handling core who masters this shooting method starts a pick-and-roll, it will be a nightmare for the big man.

Immaculate is currently a big point guard like Penny Hardaway, and in the future, he is bound to become a core defender in the professional arena. Once he masters single-action shooting, his skills in all aspects will be advanced or even ahead of the times.

This will cover up the shortcomings caused by his lack of physical fitness. The most important thing is that he is still young and still has time to improve.

Once you get older and change your shooting movements, you will have to endure more hardships and go through a longer adaptation period.

Therefore, when Louis once again proposed to change his shooting action, Wu Xia was like a deflated rubber ball, suddenly wanting to change his career and lose money.

Louis didn't explain much.

He watched *** Rauf's game video with no flaws and said directly: You have to learn his shooting movements, imitate his way of exerting force, and pay attention to his rhythm. Changing the shooting movements is not just about changing the posture, but also

To improve other technical movements, the most important thing is that the new shooting movement must be based on this straight up and down force. At the same time, it must be matched with your dribbling movement, and do not regard the shooting movement as a separate existence.

, only when paired with other skills can your shooting defeat the enemy on the court.

Wuxia asked; Dad, do I have to do this?

Louis said lightly: If you are a person who is easily satisfied, practicing to this level is about the same. But if you want to be better than LeBron James, this standard is far from enough. His talent is far beyond

Above you, if you cannot improve your skills, I can tell you clearly that you will never be able to compare with LeBron in your life.

Lu Wuxia's eyes flashed with sharpness. Although he and LBJ were golf buddies, when it came to the future, he didn't think he would be worse than anyone else.

Since the loyal dad asserted today that he would not be able to compete with LBJ if he did not work harder and perfect his skills, then he would just do it.

Whether Wu Xia can compete with James in the future, Louis has never thought about it.

What Louis has to do now is to try his best to prevent Wuxia from encountering technical problems when entering the professional arena.

Many promising rising stars will find that their previous skills on the court no longer work so well after they turn professional.

This gap will cause many people to run into the so-called rookie wall. Some people will be able to break through the wall early and get to the next level. Some people will get stuck in it and never recover from it.

Louis' purpose is to prevent Wuxia from encountering technical problems in the future.

He can hit the wall because of poor confrontation, he can hit the wall because of insufficient tactical literacy, but he cannot hit the wall because of technical problems. Because this kind of wall is the most difficult to break open, and some people cannot develop better skills because it is difficult to develop habits when they are young.

Change it, and some people will

Even if you change it, it is not easy to forget the muscle memory that has been with you for more than ten years.

The hardship Lu Wuxia endures today will reap a hundred times the sweetness in the future. By then, he will deeply appreciate his father's good intentions.
