Chapter 795 [So Terrifying, Change the Template]
The training went well, but occasionally an unexpected visitor came to the arena, and that was LaVar Ball, the "ball dad" who was a psychopath.
If you just watch his son Lonzo train, LaVar is understandable, but as an amateur always gesticulating from the sidelines, it is too annoying. There is no one here who is more professional than him.
Although LaVar is an avid basketball enthusiast, 198cm tall, and once played college basketball at Washington State University and California State University, he only played 26 NCAA basketball games in total, averaging 2.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. Stealed 0.1 blocks, shot 4o.4% from the field, and 45% from the free throw line.
What's even more outrageous is that this guy always stares at Malik Newman with evil intentions, and his eyes have revealed his dark thoughts.
It's so terrifying. Looking at the entire United States, there are only a handful of existences. This child must not be kept!
Fortunately, there were enough security guards in the arena, so LaVar couldn't find a chance to strike. Yang Rui now wonders if he was assassinated by this family because he never heard of Newman in his previous life...
Lonzo Ball also performed well. He has comprehensive skills and excellent passing awareness. He has an obvious height advantage at the No. 1 position at 191cm. His disadvantage is that his shooting is inaccurate and he relies on blindness in the mid-to-long range. He needs to strengthen training.
After thinking about it, Yang Rui didn't talk too much with Lonzo and was ready to let him show off freely.
This family is so bad that Yang Rui doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Especially Ball Daddy. In his previous life, his words and deeds caused great controversy in the basketball circle. He was denounced by Nike consultant George Raveling as the worst person in the history of basketball in the past 100 years.
Ball’s father said that Ball is better than Stephen Curry, saying that Ball can win 7 championships in the future, surpassing Michael Jordan’s number of championships. Ball’s father also said that Ball does not need to follow Kobe Bryant’s advice. Just follow your own path; the father of the ball even more believes that his three sons can defeat the invincible opponent in the world... In short, he dares to say anything big.
Later, the ball dad finally shut up. At the end of 2017, his second son "ball brother" LiAngelo got into big trouble. He and two college players were arrested on suspicion of stealing from a LV store near a hotel in Hangzhou.
According to Chinese criminal law, those who commit serious theft will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 3 years but not more than 10 years and a fine. The so-called serious circumstances refer to huge amounts or other serious circumstances. An individual's theft of public or private property worth RMB 5,000 to RMB 20,000 is considered serious.
Once found guilty, Ball and his two brothers will face 3 to 10 years in prison. In the end, Ball's father is exhausted mentally and physically after traveling thousands of miles to save his son.
In the 17-18 season, ball brother Lonzo also performed poorly with the Lakers. Although his statistics were good, his shooting percentage was extremely low. Yang Rui was reborn without seeing the end of the season. I wonder if he has broken the record for the lowest shooting percentage.
Yang Rui made up his mind that he would never praise Brother Qiu in the training camp, otherwise he didn’t know what big talk they would make or what news they would make.
The Ball family has the potential to develop in the direction of the Kardashian family, and Yang Rui doesn't want to be fooled by them.
After Newman talked with Yang Rui, he immediately began to try to transform. He increased his passing, moved around to find screens, caught the ball and shot three-pointers, and imitated Curry's style of play.
Yang Rui requires every player to find a template for himself. Imitating the star's style of play is a shortcut to finding his personal position.
Template does not mean that you can choose who you like, but you need to find players who match your own qualities. For example, if Thomas Bryant uses Kobe as a template, he will definitely not be able to play like the template except for having the same last name.
Most Chinese players are very low-key when looking for role models and define themselves as role players, while American players look for stars as role models. Some people are indeed powerful, and some are very ambitious.
Newman's template for himself is Curry, hoping to become a top-level defender.
Curry comes to training every day, leaving an indelible and terrifying impression on young people. The strength of this group of kids is incomparable to Curry. Once Curry comes into play in a match, he can score 30 or 40 points in a short period of time, no matter how hard he shoots.
Newman now thinks Curry is too cool.
He hopes to become such a person. If he doesn't transform, he may not be able to become Wade in the future. He is lucky to be able to become Ben Gordon.
Yang Rui caused another butterfly effect and changed a person's destiny, because he broke Newman's paranoia and made him not want to continue to regard himself as a shooting guard, but to move forward with Curry as his goal.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Newman's high school career could be said to be perfect. He led CA11AAAY High School to win the state championship for four consecutive years. In his senior season, he averaged 29.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. His No. 14 jersey was retired early while he was still playing. Yes, it is a great honor.
He was selected for the 2o15 McDonald's All-Star Game, Jordan Classic Game, and Nike Basketball Summit.
Newman also enjoys a high reputation in the international arena. He was mVp in the U16 US Championship in 2013 and mVp in the U17 World Youth Championship in 2014. With rich experience, Newman was selected by ESPN as the number one shooting guard in the 2015 session, ranking 10th overall.
When it came to college choice, however, Newman was on the wrong track. He gave up the prestigious University of Kentucky and chose his hometown team Mississippi State University. This is his father's alma mater. He plans to study under former famous coach Ben Holland, believing that this school can give him sufficient playing time and unlimited firing rights, allowing him to fully display his talents.
As a result, Newman struggled during his freshman season. Due to back and knee injuries, he only played in 29 games, 21 of them, averaging 27.7 minutes per game, averaging 11.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists, shooting 39.1% from the field, and three-pointers. His shooting percentage was 37.9% and his free throw percentage was 68.9%, which completely failed to meet everyone's expectations for him.
Even so, after the season, he still chose to hit the NBA and test the draft. But Newman performed poorly in the Chicago joint trial. He was only 193cm tall in shoes and had a wingspan of 196cm, which can be described as a tragedy. In the match, he played 20 minutes as a shooting guard and only had 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
Newman's biggest problem is that he lacks the height and confrontational ability of an NBA-level shooting guard, and he is unable to make his teammates better. His transition to point guard has always been a topic, but it is a pity that he made the switch a little late.
Newman decided to transfer, which resulted in him serving as a football supervisor for a year. His NBA career became more difficult, which is why he did not play in the NBA until 2018.
In this life, Newman will no longer waste time and be unable to find his position. In fact, the three most awesome point guards in the NBA in the future are all converted from shooting guards.
Westbrook University plays shooting guard, close to the sixth man position, and the uc1a point guard is Collison. He was only trained as a point guard in the Thunder in his rookie year because the draft report at that time was that he was short of height, had poor shot selection, and liked to jump and pass.
Curry also played shooting guard in college and rarely controlled the ball on the court, probably because of his accurate shooting. When he entered the NBA, he initially partnered with Ellis in the backcourt. Ellis mostly held the ball, and Curry was responsible for shooting, because the former was good at breaking out but not shooting.
After being traded to the Clippers, Curry often played as a shooting guard. It was not until last season that he rose to prominence at the point guard position, and the defensive end is no longer a black hole.
Finally, there is James Harden. Yang Rui changed to point guard in the 2o16-17 season in his previous life, and D'Antoni was the boss. Can his height and size of 196cm overwhelm other point guards? He averaged a near triple-double of 29+8+11 per game and almost won the regular season mVp.
Although the Soyuz 1 satellite is shining brightly, there is still a gap between Irving, Wall, Walker and the above three.
As long as Newman successfully transforms, NBA is likely to have one more star point guard. Yang Rui's advice to him was to practice catching and shooting, step-back jumpers, and reduce drastic changes in direction during movement. Playing that way would hurt his knees too much and would lead to the path of Derrick Rose.
Newman listened carefully and took this as the truth. He changed.
