The rest is just noise

Returning to China again, Louis not only brought his family but also representatives of the alliance.

The establishment of the NBA China Basketball Academy cannot be without the presence of people from the league.

Louis' first stop was the basketball academy he founded.

As Song Tao established himself in the NBA and became the first Asian player in history to win a championship, basketball also set off an unprecedented craze in China.

Louis himself felt that the time had not come yet.

When Yu Tiancan and Hu Weidong enter the alliance, it will be a different story.

In addition to expanding and introducing advanced training facilities, the road academy is also establishing branch schools.

If there is only one school, enrollment will definitely be limited.

And this year, according to Deng Shimo, if the NBA draft can be divided into big and small years, this year will be a big year for college recruitment.

Louis, who wanted to keep a low profile, was unable to do so. Many media stood outside the courtyard waiting for interviews.

When Louis came outside the school gate, he was blocked by reporters. He couldn't stop without spending half an hour to kill them.

Louis' son Lu Wuxia was curious about Luyuan, which is a completely different place from the United States.

Although he is only 4 years old, he can feel that the people here have the same face and skin color as him.

Deng Shimo was quite excited when he saw Louis.

"Congratulations on becoming the NBA champion." Deng Shimo shook his head and said, "But I am still a fan of the Celtics. I am very angry with the way you defeated the Celtics."

There are many people like Deng Shimo in the United States.

There were too many people supporting the Celtics, and the Knicks chose the most violent way to end the Celtics dynasty.

Louis complained: "I don't know why you only focus on the Knicks' actions. The Celtics' actions are also very big. We are just responding to the intensity they give."

"It's your fault anyway."

Deng Shimo looked unreasonable.

"OK, it's our fault. Our fault was that we beat the Celtics and made you sad." Louis said proudly, "But we will win again next year."

Deng Shimo declared in Chinese: "You won't be proud for long. The day Larry comes back, you will be destroyed."

From his words, we can see that Ya's Chinese proficiency has improved a lot.

Louis is too lazy to talk to him about this haha, he is more concerned about the candidates for the third phase of studying in the United States.

"Are there any good prospects this year?" Louis said. "Hu Weidong and Xiao Yu in the first phase have successfully entered the first-level league. American scouts believe that they have the potential to enter the NBA. This is a good start for our plan.

But if we want to continue this momentum, we must not stop the good seeds.”

"Don't worry, China really has no shortage of people." Deng Shimo became excited when talking about this. "Although the development of the children in the second period is not as expected, it is possible that the children in the third period will be like the 1984 draft class.

Become the golden generation of Luyuan."

Deng Shimo is a person who talks about what he has to say, and he will not exaggerate about players living in the United States.

Among the children who came to the United States in the first period, he was most optimistic about Hu Weidong and Liu Yuqing. In fact, these two were indeed outstanding. Yu Tiancan was an accident, this kid developed too late.

Before going to the United States, the expectation for the second phase was that it would be as good as the first phase overall, but looking at it now, it is not that optimistic.

In the third period, Deng Shimo dared to swear that this was the golden generation, which meant that there were at least five good seeds.

Louis talked to him and came to the court together.

The basketball team of the Road Courtyard has now been strictly divided into three echelons.

The first team, that is, the first team, was directly trained by Deng Shimo and went to compete outside, gathering the elite of the road academy;

The reserve team is the team where players who are not strong enough to enter the first team, but have development potential;

The future team is composed of talented players under the age of 14. Anyone who can enter this team has a great hope of being selected for the first team in the future.

Today, the first team is playing a mixed match with the reserve team.

Deng Shimo brought Louis and his family to the sidelines to watch the game.

He first points forward to the player holding the ball on the wing.

"That child's name is Kang Chengbiao⑴." Deng Shimo said with a smile, "He is 15 years old this year."

Louis thought that the child should be no more than 1.9 meters tall. Judging from his ball-handling performance, he could play the No. 1 position.

"What style?"

"You'll know after a while."

Deng Shimo deliberately kept things off-putting, just like Kang Chengbiao's style cannot be described in words.

"Run here, come here, stupid, come here!" Kang Chengbiao's command made Louis frown.

Even in a mixed team, this kind of on-the-spot command is terrible, but his teammates still listen to him.

Under the command of Kang Chengbiao, their white team launched the most chaotic positional warfare attack Louis had seen in more than half a year.

99% of the moves are ineffective, and there is no chance.

Kang Chengbiao finally realized that it was better to take action himself than to let his teammates miss the opportunity.

His shot made Louis' eyes shine. It was a rare single-action shot in this era. It was a fast shot, but obviously unstable. The ball missed the front basket.

His teammate, a strong inside man, grabbed the rebound and passed it back to him.

"Can you please stop throwing random shots? I vomited!"

"You know how to score, I never score a goal that's not easy!"

Deng Shimo looked at the child who grabbed the rebound and said: "Wu Qi, 16 years old, his height was measured a few days ago and he is already over two meters. He was a goalkeeper when he was a child. He has a good sense of position on the court and a very soft touch. He is born with this ability."

Regarding defensive position selection, I pray every day that he can grow a few centimeters taller, at least reaching 2.03 centimeters, which is the minimum standard for a power forward in high-level professional leagues."

Wu Qi gave Louis a significantly better feeling than Kang Chengbiao.

He knows what to do on the court, positions, confrontations, and cooperates well with his teammates.

Although he is only two meters tall, he already knows everything a power forward should know.

As for Kang Chengbiao

Louis really hasn't seen any advantages yet.

A few seconds later, he was dribbling the ball and was forced outside the three-point line. The opponent suddenly flanked him.

Louis thought he was going to pass the ball, but Kang Chengbiao twisted his body into a twist and threw the ball in a weird posture.

"Bang!"

"Disgusting! Really disgusting!" Wu Qi shouted, "Will you die if you pass the ball?"

Kang Chengbiao complained: "You are disgusting. You have already scored the ball and you are still forcing me to do it!"

"You would have scored a goal without me rebounding for you!"

"By the way, sir, I just scored a goal!"

Deng Shimo is like a riddle man: "Well-off people like to challenge high difficulties."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"His shooting is a bit weird." Deng Shimo said, "Those simple opportunity shots, he is unstable. Once forced into a corner, he will change his tricks to throw the ball in, and his hit rate is very high."

"What is your name Kang Chengbiao? Let's change it to Kang Bryant Dabiao."

"Why Bryant?"

"Well"

Louis' displeasure with Kang Chengbiao ended here. Then, Kang Chengbiao and Wu Qi used very good defensive performances to let Louis know why Deng Shimo put this man in the first team.

Kang Chengbiao and Wu Qi both have the ability to defend from position one to position four. They may seem to have a bad relationship, but they have a very tacit understanding when defending and know how to cooperate with each other.

Kang Chengbiao didn't have a big problem except that he liked to throw wildly and give blind orders.

As long as his teammates run tactics, he can get the ball out.

Then Wu Qi showed his characteristics.

He suddenly came to the free throw line and took the ball from Kang Chengbiao.

Kang Chengbiao cut inside, and Wu Qi sent a beautiful pass to the ground at a 45-degree angle.

When Kang Chengbiao got the ball, he screamed and dunked with one hand.

"Oh!" Kang Chengbiao said to his opponent who missed him, "Xiaoxiao, I won't say more about your defense. The coach is watching from the sidelines."

The kid who was being trash-talked sneered, said a few words to his teammates, and ran forward.

And this is another person Deng Shimo wants to introduce to Louis.

In fact, Louis had already noticed the child.

As a professional basketball practitioner, Louis noticed that the kid was being treated with all his strength on both offense and defense. In fact, Kang Chengbiao's dunk just now was not something he should have defended. Wu Qi's pass was too good, and the black team's defensive end had already been beaten.

exploded.

But that kid appeared in the defensive position for the first time, but he didn't expect Kang Chengbiao to dunk the ball when he got it.

This kind of awareness and willingness to rotate, as well as the physical ability to keep running at full speed, are really extraordinary.

"Xiao Laoban is 16 years old this year." Deng Shimo said exaggeratedly, "He reminds me of John Havlicek. He grew up in the mountains and had to run 10 kilometers back and forth to school every day. This made him very skilled.

Great physical fitness.”

While talking, Xiao Laoban had already shaken off Kang Chengbiao and was catching the ball and shooting.

That action is very standard, and the speed at which he turns to face the basket after catching the ball is also extraordinary.

Moreover, at the moment he threw the ball, Kang Chengbiao's defense was already close, but it had little impact.

"Whoosh!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Louis exclaimed, "Old Deng, have you dug up all the children in the mountainous area?"

Deng Shimo said proudly: "Of course. Before the children living in the United States really make a name for themselves, it will be difficult for us to compete with sports schools. To find such good talents, we have to go to mountainous areas, small cities or even the countryside."

Later, Louis learned that Xiao Laoban is currently 194 centimeters tall. Even if he doesn't grow taller in the future, he is still tall enough to play the second position.

His running position, physical strength, standard shooting posture and quick release are not Havlicek? This is clearly the Chinese version of Reggie Miller.

Louis was dazzled by these three young talents with different personalities. Suddenly, Kang Chengbiao and his opponent came into conflict.

"Xiao Zheng, don't compete with me, I will try my best to hold you back!"

Kang Chengbiao's big mouth kept mocking him, and Louis laughed.

"Can't he close his mouth for a second?" Louis asked.

Deng Shimo smiled helplessly, Kang Chengbiao's mouth was indeed a problem.

But his opponent did not follow this trick, and Louis discovered that he was a man with a fierce fighting style.

Kang Chengbiao had already moved away from him with the ball, and when he was about to break through, he stepped forward decisively. It was undoubtedly a foul, but no one blew the whistle, and Kang Chengbiao couldn't bear his confrontation and dropped the ball.

The opponent picked up the ball and launched a counterattack. The speed, explosive power, and physical fitness of reaching the frontcourt and smashing the basket.

Louis asked excitedly: "Old Deng, where did you dig this out?"
