At three in the morning, what time are you doing?
For an otaku, it may be when the harem fan just watched half of the time and found that there is not enough toilet paper. For the game house, it may be the time when they landed in P city and were OOXX, and for the pilgrims in Los Angeles, it may be cleaning up. While packing up and waiting to see the moon at four o'clock...
As for Curry, although he likes to play games, he is usually very nerdy, and he really likes Kobe, but three in the morning is definitely the best time for him to sleep.
So, you can imagine what it would be like to be woken up by a frantic phone ringing while someone was in deep sleep.
Yes, Curry was furious, he had a great night, Ayesha came to see him at school, they had dinner, then went back to the apartment to watch the annual McDonald's All-Star Game together, looking his best His brother Zuo Li won the MVP trophy to achieve an unprecedented high school grand slam, and Curry went to sleep with contented arms around his pillow.
As for Ayesha, ahem, there was nothing in the dream.
So when the dream was awakened, Curry was out of anger. He had just reached a critical moment, but this ringing almost made him stop lifting, how could he not be angry, so he answered the phone angrily, and he swore, Whoever is on the phone, he's going to spray him with blood tonight.
In the end, before he sprayed it, a word from the other side instantly woke him up.
"Stephen, teach me to shoot!"
He couldn't be more familiar with the voice. Although the two hadn't seen each other for a year, he could still immediately tell that it was Zuo Li's voice.
"Shooting... This, of course, I'm not going to your graduation ceremony in a few days, anytime, we can have another bullfight." Curry shook his head to wake himself up.
"But man, I understand how excited you are to get the MVP, but it's the early morning..." Curry opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock: "It's 3:12, shouldn't you be sleeping."
"OK, that's fine, let's talk about it when you come to New York, but don't worry about a day or two, we'll be in the same school after that anyway, we'll have time, shit, I'm going to slap those guys hard in the face! "
Zuo Li's fierce voice came from the phone, but Curry's eyes were wide open and his mouth was open. He couldn't hear a single sentence behind him, only that sentence...
Anyway, we will be in a school... a school... a school...
School!!!
"What? Wait, wait, wait! You mean, you're going to choose Davidson College?!" Curry hurriedly interrupted Zuo Li's babble on the phone, his voice was roaring, and he could hear him. The sound of Jessa getting out of bed was obviously awakened by him, but now I can't care about that much!
"Yes, that's it, I'm going to learn to shoot! FUCK! I'm going to block the mouths of those people, I'm going to slap him in the face, damn, that's it, hang up, come over as soon as possible, we'll see you in New York! "
Zuo Li vented, and his mood improved a lot. When he walked out of the airport, he had returned to normal, and Rich Paul went up to talk to him: "Boss, have you decided?"
"Well, it's Devinson College, please help me reject other schools, especially Duke, the old coach K, I can only be sorry, Stephen is there, I want to learn to shoot, there is no more suitable than him, not to mention he still There's a pitcher dad." Zuo Li said after regaining his composure.
There are thousands of spins in my mind. Seriously, although I have been teammates with Curry for four years, Zuo Li did not take the initiative to ask Curry for any questions about shooting. Although the two would have shooting training together, they did not communicate well. It's a lot.
How should I put it, this is also Zuo Li's self-esteem at work. Zuo Li has excellent shooting skills in his previous life. His shooting speed and accuracy are good, otherwise he would not be able to receive NBA results with a height of 160 cm. In this life, Zuo Li has always felt that he can recover the shooting feel of the previous life by himself, and he was almost doing it himself during training.
The result is that his shooting has always been average, and his free throw rate is only 60%, which is very low in high school. In the game, his four-year mid-range shooting rate is only 35%, and his three-point shooting rate is only 19%, almost no In terms of shooting range, almost all of his points come from the restricted area, and dunks account for more than 80%.
How to say, from this point of view, he is indeed very similar to Howard and O'Neal, and belongs to the absolute center play style.
The main reason why it has not attracted much attention is that centers are playing like this these days, especially centers with excellent physical speed. The iconic figure is Howard. He is also a big killer in high school. , everyone is used to it.
Moreover, this kind of people mixes very well in the NBA. Compared with Howard, Zuo Lishou is a lot thinner, but he has a great arm display, and the confrontation is excellent. Five swings, defense and high school Howard are no different, in the opinion of many people, this is enough.
Projection? What bike do you want?
As for free throws, please, isn't this the standard for big centers these days? If you don't believe me, ask O'Neal.
So in recent years, although there have been media mentions, no one cares. What's more, the talent is real, and shooting can be practiced. It's not too late to practice after entering the university or the NBA. Look at James, right?
But there are always people who don't think so Just when Zuo Li completed his unprecedented high school Grand Slam and was praised by the outside world, a sports media in Washington published an article in which Zuo Li was analyzed in detail. The technical characteristics of , in which the projection is an embarrassing D, that is, there is almost no projection ability, this evaluation is lower than the original C of Howard.
Forget it, New York Sports published an interview with Knicks player Marbury. During the interview, when faced with a reporter asking if Zuo Li would be New York's next super point guard, Marbury was very disdainful.
"I know that kid, he's from the streets, seriously, he did a good job in high school, but, seriously, he's not a point guard at all, you've seen a point guard who only made 60 percent of his free throws and almost Without the ability to shoot, he is just good talent, and it's just high school, college, NBA, it's all different levels, I don't know if he can still play like this, but when it comes to point guard, of course it's me ."
Yes, this is the article Zuo Li saw when he got off the plane. This article is very popular, because Marbury is the first NBA player to look down on Zuo Li in such a long time. Before that, Kobe and Anthony used to criticize Zuo Li. Expressed the meaning of praise, so Marbury quickly used such an interview to become popular again.
God is pitiful, Marbury is definitely at the level of everyone in New York now, but this time, his remarks turned out to be positive, and many people expressed similar meanings. They said that Zuo Li should be a No. 5 position, although He's special, but still a five.
This is also the real reason for angering Zuo Li. Seriously, he is tired of those voices questioning his projection ability.
So three days later, on behalf of Zuo Li, Rich Paul announced that he would join Davidson College and compete in the NCAA!~
