Chapter five hundred and eighty watching the stars together
On July 12, American time, the famous sports weekly sports magazine "Sports Illustrated" officially appeared on James' news: I will go back to Cleveland.
I want to go home by reporter Jenkins: I'm a kid from northeast Ohio before no one cares where I play.
The article begins with this reading, which reviews James' mental journey through James' tone and in relatively simple and simple language.
After all, as a high school student, if you write too gorgeously and look like Fitzgerald's Gatsby, others will see at a glance that this is a ghostwriter.
At the end of the article, I read briefly: I am ready to accept this challenge. I am going home.
As soon as this article was published, the dust finally settled where James went and went home!
The whole city of Cleveland is jubilant, and their former king is finally back!
Of course, everything behind it does not seem so warm and relaxed.
Before making the decision, James stirred up the entire free market alone.
He considered other teams, met with Pat Riley in Las Vegas, and put pressure on Cavaliers Gilbert.
James' team also conducted a comprehensive assessment of James' contract issues and wanted to help James make the best choice.
James is full of affection for the Cavaliers and Cleveland, but feelings are not the only factor in his decision, and even whether it is the most important factor is not particularly certain.
The Cavaliers made a quick turn in their salary space to get James and Li Liang.
However, because of Li Liang's existence, the Cavaliers and Gilbert became much more tough in the face of James' pressure.
James only wants to sign a two-year contract. Like Li Liang, the second year is the player option.
But the Cavaliers insist that the second year is the team option.
The James team only wants to promise one year, while the Cavaliers hope to promise two years.
Because the Cavaliers know that Li Liang is likely to be unable to keep him in the second year. If he can't keep James, would this combination be happy for a year?
There is no such reason, the Cavaliers need James to make a longer-term commitment.
Influenced by Li Liang, James finally compromised, rejected the opinions put forward by his team, and decided to accept the contract for the team option for two years and the second year.
This is also a major victory for the Cavaliers, and they can get a little advantage in front of James.
James's team also had no choice. They all said that the king was back, but there was an extra emperor in front.
When James announced his return to the Cavaliers, Li Liang was in Miami for hard training.
There are many NBA star customers in Alexander's training camp, and his brand is getting louder and louder as he plays, especially Li Liang often comes here, which adds a lot of glory to Alexander.
For example, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Durant, Chandler Parsons and others are all doing physical exercises here - of course, this is during the peak of summer training, and these people are still on vacation now.
Only Li Liang, the winner of the championship, FMVP, the first person last season, has already conducted intensive training here at Alexander early.
What I fear most in this world is that people with talent work harder than you.
I am more afraid that people with systems will work harder than you.
Alexander sighed that Li Liang's achievements in a short period of time were really amazing.
Two years ago, when Li Liang had not entered the NBA, Alexander still remembered that he was just a tall Asian young man with ordinary physical fitness.
Two years have passed, and he is full of honor, and his physical fitness has reached a very amazing level.
He has a strong and well-proportioned body, strong muscles, coordinated, flexible, explosive power and endurance.
Alexander was amazed at how Li Liang practiced his body?
Things like physical fitness are destined to be seven points, and three points rely on hard work.
Many talented people just don’t practice, and just eat them all over their tendons.
Li Liang's kind of thing is simply a miracle.
But thinking about how many miracles he created, I don’t care about this.
When he arrived at Alexander, Li Liang conducted intensive training on his body.
What puzzled Alexander was that the focus of Li Liang strengthening this time was - butt.
You are an outside lineman and a super three-pointer, why do you have to make your butt?
Of course, the professionalism should be called the buttock muscles.
Li Liang's explanation is very simple because I want to practice my inside offensive skills.
Alexander reminded Li Liang that you can’t eat too much. You have achieved great success by relying on your own playing style. Why should you take an outdated path?
Two years ago, in order to improve his back and hip muscles, James also conducted special training on improving his back and hip muscles in Alexander.
In 12 years, he relied on his back to help the Heat win the championship.
But in the past two years, as the three-pointers become stronger and stronger, James has lost weight and his back improvement has also stopped. He is just one of the skill packages, not a key skill.
As the initiator of the explosion that popularized the power of three points, Li Liang had to practice back-to-body technology, which made Alexander puzzled.
Not to mention that something like being behind the back is gradually being eliminated by the times, it is very difficult to practice.
Even if James has been practicing for a few years, he has achieved a little success.
Playing with your back to the basket is already difficult, and requires great talent and a lot of time to practice.
Alexander reminded Li Liang twice, but Li Liang insisted, but Alexander would not say anything.
If you practice butt, just practice butt!
In Miami, Li Liang conducted two-week intensive training to strengthen his butt.
During the day, he trained in Alexander, and at night he went back to the hotel, and practiced the back-mounting technique with Tom Heinthorne in the system.
The old smoker Haynthorne is still very solid in technology.
Although basketball technology has been constantly improving since the 1950s to today, and later generations are always better than their predecessors, a few technical movements either stagnate or disappear.
In Heinthorne's era, there was no three-point line on the basketball court, and the competition at the basket was much more intense than it is now.
At the same time, because the dribbling skills are immature and the walking rules are strict, it is very important to get a position at the basket, and at the same time, there are a lot of unball-free techniques used.
In that era, the physical fitness of players was not as good as that of now, but their movements were generally more brutal and fierce. In order to get an inch of space under the basket, they had to fight hand-to-hand.
Haynthorne not only fought hand in hand, but also burned Li Liang with cigarettes, reminding him to control his movements.
After this painful torture, Li Liang's ability to hold the position on his back quickly soared from 15 points to 40 points.
In this way, the mission of Tom Haynthorne's big blaster was completed, and Li Liang also got a special item: a take-up, which will make you extremely brave in the next position.
What a mess!
For Li Liang, the ability to get a basket position at 40 points is far from enough, and it must be improved to at least 60 points.
So while he was training in Alexander, he continued to practice in depth in the system, and then he found that it was Anthony Mason who was waiting for him behind Tom Haynthorne.
Mason
Li Liang felt a little panicked when he saw his arms and butt at the training ground.
Uh, this, let's take a break and go to Cleveland to sign a contract.
Li Liang quit the system.
At this time, Zhu Shu happened to send a message telling Li Liang that James was ready to sign a contract with the Cavaliers, and he hoped to sign a contract with Li Liang, and Julius Randall was also with him.
The king does not see the king, and he will finally meet again.
So Li Liang packed his bags, said goodbye to Alexander, finished two weeks of training, and took a plane to his next stop, Cleveland.
The air in the countryside should be relatively fresh, so you can watch the stars with Zhu Shu at night.
Chapter completed!
