The Rest, Only Noise

Louie meets John Dunsmore, the head coach of the Louie Academy basketball team.

In the past year, he has been training these children.

It is he who has selected six children who will be sent abroad to the United States from the echelons at all levels.

Louis looked at the list, and as expected, 16-year-old Hu Weidong was among them. Deng Shimo marked Hu Dashen's name with an asterisk to indicate that this is a very promising seedling.

"Does more asterisks mean higher training value?" Louis asked.

Deng Shimo snapped his fingers and nodded, "It seems that you understand me."

Among these children, the oldest is Hu Weidong, who is 16 years old, the remaining four are 15 years old, and the youngest is 14 years old, named Liu Yuqing.

"And girls?" Louis found that this little Liu had more asterisks than Hu Weidong.

"When I saw this name for the first time, I thought he was a girl." Deng Shimo spoke highly of him, "He is not only not a girl, but a guy with a lot of personality."

He's got a lot of personality, Louis can see just by taking a look at his training.

From a distance, 14-year-old Liu Yuqing has a height of nearly 1.9 meters.

how to say? Aside from his height, he's not the type to be athletic at first glance.

His explosiveness is not strong, but his advantage lies in the coordination of the movement of his limbs. Every basketball action seems to be particularly stretched. Probably because of his arms span, his unfinished shooting looks more comfortable than the children around him.

"He is about 6 feet 1 inches tall and 187cm, but his wingspan has reached 6 feet 6 inches, and as soon as Deng Shimo finished speaking, Liu Yuqing used his own training methods to let Louis have a preliminary understanding of his style of play.

He shot at a basket without a net, shot and picked it up, shot over 80 percent, and shot for 20 minutes in a row.

Deng Shimo praised: "He is a bit like Dale Ellis of the Knicks."

"Could it be that he's the same as Ellis?" Louie asked.

"He is indeed a little silent, but he is not introverted. Although he is not sociable, he is very friendly with people."

Louis thought that Deng Shimo was showing off language ambivalence, so he couldn't help but reply: "Your sentence is very good, but the logic is a bit poor."

"I'm not kidding." Deng Shimo seemed satisfied with Liu Yuqing, "He's a very special guy."

"Is it too early to go abroad at this age?"

Louie wasn't sure what would happen if a 14-year-old, silent and introverted, unsociable but friendly kid crossed the ocean to study in another country.

"It's not early at all." Deng Shimo said sternly, "He is a talented shooter, but before he came to Luyuan, the first position was the point guard, with a good ability to hold the ball. Fortunately, we tested him. It is predicted that he will grow to about two meters, so he made preparations with both hands. On the one hand, let him maintain the basic skills of movement control training, on the other hand, let him strengthen his shooting. In less than a year, he is already a player of all levels in the road. The best shooter in China, even Hu Weidong is not as good as him."

Deng Shimo wanted Liu Yuqing and Louis to go back to the United States together.

"Staying here will only delay his development." Deng Shimo wanted Louis to understand the urgency of the matter. "Coach Lu, you are a scout, you should know better than me how important this matter is."

"What's the opinion of his family?"

"We'll get the job done."

Reassuring parents of ordinary families in the 1980s to let their children study abroad is not so easy.

"I will arrange the matter of studying abroad, but it must be with the consent of his family, not only Xiao Liu, but also several other children."

"The wishes of the family must come first."

Deng Shimo asked back, "What about the child's wishes? I mean, what if the child wants to study abroad and the parents don't agree?"

"Let them figure it out on their own, you can give advice, you can help them decide, but you can't decide for them."

Although Deng Shimo has a Chinese name, he obviously has not yet mastered the method of dealing with the Chinese.

Louie's words made him dizzy, feeling that he had wasted a year in China.

After that, Louis also inquired about this year's enrollment.

And the construction of the branch.

A school alone can only attract children from one place. Although the Road Academy has its own scouting system, and parents from all over the country will send their children over, these people are only a small number after all.

To make Luyuan an arsenal of Chinese basketball, the scale of the school must be expanded.

Once the scale is expanded, the coaching team must also expand.

To do this, the first thing you need is money.

Fortunately, Louis has made a lot of money in the past year. The reason why he does not miss any opportunity to make money is that domestic projects need money very much.

The problem is that these projects basically don't make a lot of money, because the main purpose of training people is to let them grow the strength of the national basketball team.

This is the process of realizing the dream of a basketball player from a past life to this life.

In just one year, apart from the great **** Hu Weidong, the average-scale road courtyard has excavated good seedlings such as Liu Yuqing. He believes that there are more talents hidden in the sea of ​​people.

In mid-July, Louis returned to the United States.

He immediately set about preparing plans for the six children to travel to the United States, including what kind of schools they would go to.

It's not enough for him to be alone. He called his friends in the circle and asked them to give him a list, and he would do it himself.

On July 20, when the National Basketball Team came to New York, many lowly New York media came to watch with a curiosity.

This phenomenon made Louis very uncomfortable.

Their attitude is like a bunch of aliens have come to New York.

This is a bit like his previous life when the national Olympic team played against the North Korean men's basketball team. The Chinese Internet is full of strange legends about the North Korean basketball league, and a dunk counts as 4 points.

As a result, they played very well. If they didn't have home field advantage, it is estimated that the National Olympic Games are not their opponents.

Many domestic fans and media have the same attitude towards the North Korean team as today's New York media.

Therefore, on the day of the friendly match between the Knicks and the Chinese team, Louis refused any media admission, and the game was not broadcast live.

Louie carried half a Knicks team with Dale Ellis and Benjamin Wilson enough to be an overwhelming threat to the national team.

The game started, and as Louis expected, the national team was serious.

They'll do everything they can to beat the Knicks.

Before the start of the game, Louis had told the players to play as a teaching game, and whoever won or not was placed second, ensuring his own health was the most important thing.

Tonight, the Chinese team shot very accurately.

No, it should be said that it must have shocked Louis.

There is a background that Louis does not understand.

Two years ago, in 1984, FIBA ​​officially introduced the three-point line. In order to improve the three-point ability of domestic players, the Chinese Basketball Association has issued a policy. In an official game, if someone can score four three-pointers in a single game, starting from the fifth goal, it counts as four points.

As a result, a bunch of three-point madmen appeared in the country, and the outside line level rose sharply.

Tonight, the phenomenon of feeling convulsions outside the NBA-level three-point line is considered an extraordinary performance, but it can also be seen that the basic skills and shooting ability of these players are very good.

This scene once again aroused Louis's Zhou Qi's PTSD. Thinking back to the 2019 World Cup, under the influence of Li's guidance of the three-back tactics, the national basketball defenders did not have a game that was not squeezed by the opponent's forwards, and the shortcoming of unstable long-range shots was pinched. die.

The guards stand up straight and line up to see that the shooting percentage is below 40% and then look at the shooting of the older generation.

Louie was blown away on the spot and asked the players to be a little more intense, so that they don't think that NBA players are at this level.

Wilson began to exert his strength. His 203-centimeter offensive machine has no solution in international competitions~www.readwn.com~ The problem of poor confrontation cannot be reflected in the game with the Chinese team, but it swept all directions in the NCAA. His offensive skills are indeed unstoppable here.

104 to 88

The Knicks won the game in the fourth quarter.

The two sides shook hands amicably, and they were to play three friendly matches next.

Basically, they played very seriously. The Chinese team wanted to win a game. Louis would not give up the victory, but he had the ability to control the field, which made the game look fierce.

In the fourth game, Louis deliberately played penalty kick tactics to make the two sides tie.

No overtime.

Although the Chinese team did not win, it was a very dazzling achievement to be able to tie the Knicks with a half-set lineup.

Next, the two sides trained together at the Blue Palace. Although they did not speak the same language, they often arranged for matches.

In the confrontation, the performance of Knicks players without Louie's restraint is much more brutal.

This also allows Chinese players to see the gap.

At the same time, Song Tao officially signed with the Knicks and became the 14th player of the team.

In August, when the Chinese team was going to participate in the Universiade, Louis kept Song Tao "recovering" in New York on the grounds that he was injured.

Therefore, Song Tao escaped his biggest hit.

He also became the first player in Asian history to sign an official NBA contract.

Louis never thought of himself as a savior, he just turned something bad into something good and saved something he didn't want to see happen.

There were many things he couldn't control, but in this case, he not only controlled the whole process, but also changed Song Tao's entire life.

Compared with Song Tao's original broken life, Louis prefers his current future full of unknowns but very promising.
