Chapter 8 A Thousand Balls
The mission failed, but Li Liang expected that the NBA three-point competition was not that easy.
Maybe it can be done during training, but in real scenes, the pressure on the spot will affect performance.
As strong as Michael Jordan, they have set a record of 5 points in the three-point competition.
It can be regarded as a historical achievement in the three-point field where he is not good at, and he is worthy of being the first person in history.
Jordan's middle distance is extremely accurate, and the NCAA's three-point line is similar to the middle distance for him.
Li Liang practices more of the three-point line of 6.25 on weekdays, and the NBA standard three-point training is still not enough.
After leaving the system, Li Liang took a good night's sleep, and his mental consumption was a bit heavy.
The next day, he followed the team away from New Orleans with the championship and returned to Lexington, Kentucky by plane.
The plane landed at Lexington Bluegrass Airport, a small airport 6 km from Lexington.
Today there are many people coming to pick up the plane, most of whom are Lexington basketball fans and students from the University of Kentucky.
The fans who picked up the plane held signs in the waiting hall. The plane arrived at the airport in the afternoon. The Kentucky Wildcats players were warmly welcomed.
Lexington is the second largest city in Kentucky, but the population is only 210,000.
It has two universities, the University of Kentucky and the University of Transylbernia, both of which are famous universities in the United States.
Because of the small population and small city, there are no teams in the four major leagues here, and the Kentucky Wildcats naturally became the target of support for basketball fans across the city.
After the Wildcats won the championship yesterday, the entire Lexington celebrated a grand celebration, and Kentucky fans wearing light blue T-shirts were everywhere in the streets and alleys of Lexington.
Celebration lasts from night until the next morning, with tens of thousands taking to the streets.
The event triggered a riot, and a man was inexplicably shot in the leg by a bullet during the celebration. I don’t know which overly excited guy accidentally fired the shot.
Police said 50 people were arrested throughout the celebration, fire departments said 56 small fires occurred, while medical and health departments dispatched 25 emergency rescues.
Of course, this cannot stop Lexington from being ecstatically excited about this champion. This is the great charm of the NCAA and the great charm of basketball.
After leaving the airport, the players took a bus back to the University of Kentucky campus. There were huge banners hanging on the school to welcome the heroes returning from New Orleans.
A platform was built on the lawn of the university campus to show their eighth NCAA championship trophy to all teachers and students, and the students of the school will also accept the award from the principal.
Kalipari spoke on the stage and thanked the school and the fans for their strong support.
Of course, you must know that the University of Kentucky put a lot of effort into digging Calipari.
They gave Calipari a $31.65 million contract, and they also gave bonuses based on the results they received each year.
This year, he won the national championship and the prize is US$375,000.
In addition, Calipari is also given a series of benefits, including two luxury cars, free tickets to the game, membership of the country club, etc., as well as a liquidated damages for early termination.
In short, the benefits and benefits are much better than those of the NBA coaches.
He has low work pressure and great autonomy. After leaving his NBA coaching position, Calipari didn't want to go back to that ghost place at all.
After Kalipari finished speaking, it was Anthony Davis' turn.
He is only a freshman this year, and the University of Kentucky is actually more like a springboard for him to enter the NBA.
However, he still had a lot of affection for Kentucky and said a lot of words of thanks, which won the applause of the students below.
After the welcome celebration, the school will hold a large dance party for the team in the evening.
The good days for the young people in the basketball team are coming, and all the beauties from the University of Kentucky will come to them.
Those like Terence Jones, who were frustrated in New Orleans yesterday, have been trying to get angry and ready to be a waste of time in the past two days.
Only Li Liang is different. His current mind is on the mission of the All-Ambition King System.
He only has one month to complete the task as soon as possible.
So, after the celebration, Li Liang left immediately. He went back to the dormitory first, put his luggage in, and then changed into training clothes and went to the basketball court.
The stadium was empty today. The administrator saw Li Liang and said hello to him and congratulated him on winning the championship.
"Oh, the game is over. Do you still need to train? We won."
The administrator found it incredible. After the students won the ball, they would only think about rest and celebrate. Why did this kid come to practice football?
Besides, he is already a senior and is about to graduate. He will never appear in the NCAA field again. What else can he practice?
"I'm preparing for the NBA!" Li Liang responded.
"Oh? NBA? Hoho~" the administrator smiled, not taking Li Liang's words to heart.
On the blue floor of the University of Kentucky, many NBA players and coaches were born. In their early years, they were like legendary coach Pat Riley, and Mashburn in the 1990s.
Especially in recent years, Kentucky has frequently appeared high-ranking rookies, and the administrator has seen too many talented players. Water dispensers like Li Liang are really not taken seriously.
Of course Li Liang didn't care. He took out the basketball from the equipment library himself, then called Wei Dazhi and asked him to come and help.
After Wei Dazhi arrived at the stadium, he saw Li Liang wearing tape and sticking horizontal strips outside the three-point line of the court, and went up to ask, "Hey, what are you doing? Everyone else is going to celebrate and rest, why are you still here to practice football? This year's game is over."
Li Liang said: "I said everything, I want to enter the NBA, so I have to train well. Don't talk nonsense and pick up the ball for me."
Li Liang used tape outside the three-point line to post the position of the NBA three-point line, pulled a ball frame, placed the ball well, and started his three-point training.
Seeing that Li Liang was serious, Wei Dazhi said, "Wait, I'll find a tripod and record your training video. You can also take a look and correct your posture."
Wei Dazhi is Li Liang's best friend at school. Both of them are students from business schools. Wei Dazhi is an avid basketball enthusiast, but his basketball level is really not very good.
Wei Dazhi is not tall, has a slightly fat figure, and wears black-framed glasses. He looks like an ordinary fat man.
But he is proficient in NBA history and knows every team and every player. He has been scattered in basketball forums at home and abroad all year round, often talking about the various scholars and giving advice to the country. He is a standard keyboard warrior.
Li Liang started from the left bottom corner first. The shooting training was very boring and there was no opportunity, just to keep training, training, and then training.
At the same position, at the same distance, in the same posture, keep taking action and adjusting continuously until the muscles have a memory of the action.
This memory is a conditioned reflex. After thousands of practices, an excellent shooter can shoot the most accurate goal in the fierce competition with the shortest time and fastest speed.
At first, Li Liang's shooting percentage was pretty good, but as more and more shots were thrown, Li Liang's body began to feel tired and his arms were out of control.
Even so, he still had to keep making moves, and his entire arm was almost numb, his eyes didn't need to aim, and his brain didn't need to think, so he could throw the ball out.
Wei Dazhi, who was responsible for picking up the ball on the side, was already exhausted and panting, and said, "Hey... rest, take a break, how many have you shot? Shooting depends on talent. Every player in the NBA works hard and everyone works hard. In the end, what you strive for is talent. If you don't reach your talent, you will just maintain it until the end, and have a ceiling!"
Wei Dazhi was so tired that he sat on the ground, and Li Liang threw 200 balls in one breath from the bottom corner.
Sweat had already wet Li Liang's clothes, and he knew that Wei Dazhi was right.
Without the all-round king system, Li Liang would not have thought that he could enter the NBA through constant training.
In the end, when you compete in sports, you compete in talent, luck, and spiritual will.
Working hard can enable a person to achieve certain achievements, but it does not guarantee success, because there are too many people working hard.
"Come on, 45 degrees, continue. After practicing, I will take you to the team's celebration party tonight." Li Liang said.
After hearing what Li Liang said, Wei Dazhi stood up from the ground and devoted himself to the ball picking work.
"I want to shoot 1,000 goals," Li Liang added.
Chapter completed!
