I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 200 Brothers Basketball, Sharks Journey East (big chapter)

"Hey bro, why do you look fat?"

Kwame Brown walked into the training hall and saw that He Li was still training, but compared with the image in his memory, He Li's figure was obviously a whole circle bigger.

He Li heard someone greet him, stopped the ball and looked back, only to realize that it was Kwame Brown.

"Kwame, you son of a bitch, you're only here now!"

After saying hello, He Li threw the ball in front of Kwame Brown.

"Pick up the ball, let's play!"

He Li rented a training hall in Milwaukee and held his own training camp.

I didn't go to New York, firstly because the cost performance is not high, and secondly because Milwaukee has a better environment and a more comfortable climate, which is more suitable for practicing during the day.

As for He Li calling to invite Kwame Brown and Pau Gasol to join his training camp, the main reason is that he needs to have suitable training partners during his weight gain period.

Only a stronger opponent can make He Li adapt to his physical condition after gaining weight.

Kwame Brown didn't know He Li's intention, thinking that He Li just wanted to abuse him.

Ever since, Kwame Brown said weakly: "I'm not your opponent, let's forget it?"

"I said, pick up the ball and come here!" He Li said with a firm attitude.

Kwame Brown seemed to have felt Jordan's uncompromising temperament from He Li, and suddenly became well-behaved, picked up the ball and came in front of He Li.

But soon, Kwame Brown put on a mournful face, and then half-pushed and half-heartedly cooperated with He Li, ravaging him easily, without any intention of resisting.

Seeing this, He Li also felt bored.

"Aren't I bullying honest people?"

He Li likes those who can resist and arouse his desire to attack. Kwame Brown is obviously not very good at the moment.

However, Gasol hasn't come yet, He Li can only barely use Kwame Brown to hone his own skills and adapt to the current physical condition.

"Kwame, you can't do this, you are too soft, you will be looked down upon."

While drinking wolfberry tea, He Li taught Kwame Brown, hoping to help Kwame Brown change his ways and help Kwame Brown become stronger.

After all, He Li can only be strong when the opponent he is training with is strong enough.

But in Kwame Brown, He Li saw the negative energy that kept popping up and couldn't stop, full of the word "frustration".

"But I'm already recognized as the champion of parallel imports? I've been looked down upon by tens of millions of people."

Kwame Brown is not a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, but he also seems to be like a salted fish, and he no longer cares what the outside world thinks of him.

Previously, the teammates around He Li were aggressive.

Even some black players are habitually lazy and don't like to work hard.

But driven and influenced by He Li, they will more or less work harder and find ways to improve their strength.

In this way, you can get more playing time and more opportunities to cut data.

This time when I met Kwame Brown, who is self-denying and not enterprising, He Li really has nothing to do in a short time.

He Li had no time to waste on Kwame Brown, so he could only go to the planned training on his own.

While Kwame Brown was either envious or awe watching He Li training, Jeff Austin quietly appeared beside Kwame Brown.

"Kwame, you and He Li are players in the same draft.

You are all geniuses!You're the No. [-] pick, and he's a prejudicial first-round pick.

At the beginning, I accompanied He Li to participate in the draft, and we watched you in the auditorium who were the first to walk from the small green room to the stage.

But now?You have become the champion of parallel imports in everyone's mouth, and He Li is the new FMVP who has amazed the entire league!

You look at He Li enviously in the training hall!

The current He Li, even from the back, is more dazzling than you.

Do you wish to continue looking at He Li's back like this? "

As early as the regular season, Jeff Austin wanted to get Kwame Brown in the bag.

After all, if Jeff Austin wants to become bigger and stronger, it is impossible for He Li to be the only one under his command.

With He Li playing, the next few seasons will be a good opportunity for Jeff Austin to recruit.

Just talking about the 02 draft that just ended not long ago, under the influence of He Li, Jeff Austin signed Tayshaun Prince and Carlos Boozer.

In addition, Jeff Austin also signed some second-round picks and undrafted picks. Of course, this is Jeff Austin's own operation.

In comparison, a parallel import champion like Kwame Brown is also a champion at any rate, and it is easier to play than the usual first-round picks and second-round picks.

Don't you see, didn't Kenyon Martin, the top pick in the 00 draft, be played with the help of Jason Kidd?

Jeff Austin has confidence in Kwame Brown, and he also has confidence in He Li. If Kwame Brown plays next to He Li, he may be able to play his worth and win the next big contract.

Even if Kwame Brown doesn't have the chance to play next to He Li, he still has the opportunity to train with He Li during the offseason and accept He Li's direction.

Jeff Austin firmly believes that He Li has the ability to help Kwame Brown train and develop the abilities he needs to gain a foothold in the NBA step by step.

Of course, if you want to achieve Kwame Brown, you have to be turned into one of your own by Kwame Brown in advance.

Fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders!

If it's all about helping people and not getting anything in return, why would Jeff Austin do it?

He is a broker, he is a capitalist, and he is an American!

In other words, Jeff Austin is good at seducing Kwame Brown, and Jeff Austin thinks he can stimulate Kwame Brown.

However, Kwame Brown replied weakly: "I hope. I hope to play with He Li, just sit on the sidelines and watch his back like this."

"I'll pour it!" Jeff Austin spat out a mouthful of old blood.

But think about it carefully: "Something seems wrong?"

"I understand!"

Jeff Austin suddenly discovered that Kwame Brown had a weak personality, but his IQ was fine.

Kwame Brown even took the opportunity to secretly reveal to him that if he is willing to help him out of the sea of ​​suffering, from the Wizards to the Bucks, he is willing to worship him.

Kwame Brown's luxury is not high, but he hopes to come to the Bucks as a substitute, and he can see the back of He Li playing at any time.

However, for Jeff Austin, it is difficult to have room for manipulation, it is difficult to do this!

Kwame Brown is still on a rookie contract, and it will not exceed 400 million next year. Such a contract can be eaten by the Bucks, even if it is a parallel importer.

But the point is that even if Kwame Brown is the No. 400 pick in parallel imports, the value represented is not something that players with a normal contract of three to four million can change alone.

Even adding two first-round picks may not necessarily be exchanged.

After all, in the next few years, as long as He Li is not injured, the Bucks will be a playoff team, and the first-round pick is worthless.

The Bucks can't operate Kwame Brown, and it is impossible to have the idea of ​​​​trading Kwame Brown. Even if He Li comes forward, it is useless.

The Bucks management will please He Li, but not blindly let He Li do anything wrong.

Jordan's level of management of the team, the level of the draft, and how powerful the benchmark should be, shouldn't be a big problem.

As long as He Li doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble for running a big team and doesn't cooperate, the Bucks management has enough patience to persuade He Li to "be sober".

Of course, Jeff Austin did not have the ability to persuade He Li to do so.

So, is signing Kwame Brown dead?

Of course not, the moon is the first to get close to the water, and the training camp is not held for a day. Jeff Austin expressed that he has enough patience with Kwame Brown.

Of course, during this period, He Li was also helping. After all, He Li wanted to play brother basketball with Kwame Brown.

And helping Kwame Brown rebuild his self-confidence, ignite Kwame Brown's fighting spirit, and help Kwame Brown realize his talent for speeding up can also better enhance He Li's strength.

It takes the most time to cultivate inside players. After many inside players enter the NBA, they need at least two or three years of training time.

Therefore, inside players of Duncan's level will be more competitive when participating in the draft.

If there is Joe, choose Joe, and if there is no Joe, choose Sha?If Duncan, a fourth-year college student, participates in the draft, both of them can only compete for the second place.

Because Duncan has already entered the league as a complete body, he doesn't need to level up very much, and he can use it directly if he chooses it.

Most of the team's reinforcement of inside players is for performance.

The teams in the small ball market can only focus on the future, but most of the time they make wedding dresses for others.

If a team in a small ball market can directly win inside players with historical talents and superstar combat power, will they still choose the future instead of the present?

Therefore, even if He Li has the idea of ​​playing brother basketball with Kwame Brown, he doesn't think he can help Kwame Brown realize his talent. Kwame Brown will take off directly next season.

That's not the case, inside players need more leveling and experience.

On the contrary, if you help Kwame Brown level up now, then you will not delay playing brother basketball with Kwame Brown who is approaching maturity.

The time came to July 7, when He Li's training camp finally had a third NBA player as a guest.

Gasol took the whole family to Milwaukee for vacation, and brought his younger brother to He Li's training camp by the way.

Gasol Jr. is still a kid, but he's about to start high school.But what I didn't expect was that he was already a little fat man now, and his arms looked stronger than his brother's.

Gasol still has that elegant and easy-going posture.

"Bro, are you fat?"

The first reaction of outsiders seeing He Li is that He Li is getting fat.

Indeed, anyone can see He Li gaining weight.

In the beginning, He Li's 24 pounds of fat was mainly concentrated on his stomach, and his eight-pack abs almost joined together.

Now I have four-pack abs again, and some flesh hangs from my hands, waist, and buttocks.

It's just that there are some sequelae in addition, the face is rounder, although it is not likely to have a double chin, but it does not look as tough as last season, but it is more amiable.

"Paul, I've been waiting for you for a long time. How are you doing?"

He Li greeted Gasol first, and then patted Gasol on the shoulder.

"Is this your brother? It's pretty good. I have a guy here who likes to abuse my brother. Kwame, why don't you come over?"

He Li suddenly thought of helping Kwame Brown untie his knot by abusing food.

"Oh no, let me just say, why is Kwame Brown fighting his brother Jagged at home? This is how the relationship is used to lick the wound and regain self-confidence?"

He Li has also heard from Jeff Austin that Kwame Brown is not really unable to communicate, but has a problem with his IQ.

On the contrary, Kwame Brown is one of the smarter blacks.It's just that he has an introverted personality and is easily influenced by the outside world.

That is to say, the Internet is not yet developed these days, otherwise He Li would suggest that Kwame Brown build a few trumpets at night, and in this way completely empty the accumulated negative energy.

He Li doesn't expect Kwame Brown to have the level of Adu, but at least don't delay improving his strength and realizing his talent.

But now, there is no such way to use the Internet as a secret toilet, so let's continue to heal his soul according to the method Kwame Brown came up with himself!
Kwame Brown played well in high school anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem to abuse a young Gasol who hasn't even entered high school, right?
He Li arranged Kwame Brown and Gasol Jr., so he didn't think about these two people.

He Li still chooses to find Gasol, and then he can get down to business.

"Haha, fat, indeed fat, I have no choice but to!
The NBA is a competitive league. If I don't improve, others will improve and surpass me.

Can you understand my situation?I am now the FMVP, and all the teams and players in the league are trying to solve me and surpass me.

You said, can I not work hard?
We are brothers, so I won't hide it from you!
This offseason I want to gain weight, improve singles and double-team breaking ability.

So, it's up to you! "

Gasol was still listening carefully, but soon realized that He Li was in Versailles again.

"FMVP? I didn't even make the playoffs, can you understand me?"

"Okay, I understand what you mean, you want to use me as a training partner, right? That's fine, let me warm up, let's start!"

Gasol first laughed and cursed in front of He Li, and then was very considerate, expressing his willingness to be He Li's training partner.

There is no doubt that Gasol is also someone who wants to improve and succeed.

The previous vacation was because he valued family.

After learning that He Li won the championship as a rookie, he was not complacent. Instead, he trained intensively during the offseason to improve his strength.

This made him unable to sit still!

Once upon a time, Gasol also had the idea of ​​competing with He Li for the best rookie!

Even though the distance between him and He Li is getting farther and farther now, he has not extinguished the idea of ​​chasing He Li.

"I can't be left behind by you!" Gasol put on such an attitude.

He Li replied: "I didn't abandon you!"

Wait, why does it feel a little gay?
"He Li, to be serious, what's the matter with your breathing method? It seems interesting?"

Gasol had just arrived for half a day, and he noticed a very important and special link in He Li's training.

He Li's previous exercise breathing rhythm was tailor-made for him by John Jia. This time, due to the impact of weight gain, the breathing rhythm has to be re-tested and adjusted.

It is not impossible to maintain the same breathing rhythm, but there will definitely be some small flaws and problems.

This is like taking a bath in the bathtub when you were a child, and taking a bath in the bathtub when you grow up. This is just right and comfortable, without feeling restrictive.

And just to supply the oil consumed by motorcycles and cars, it can be used for a period of time, but it will definitely not work after a long time.

This summer, He Li's breathing method needs to be readjusted, and even two months before the start of the NBA regular season, it also needs to be fine-tuned.

After all, during the game, how to allocate physical strength is more reasonable, and it takes time to collect data and analyze it in detail.

And this is also the responsibility of John Jia as He Li's personal physical trainer.

Of course, now that He Li has opened the training camp, and John Jia is working part-time in the training camp, it is not impossible to reveal something to Gasol.

It has to be said that Gasol came from a medical family, and he also studied medicine in college, and he also dabbled in kinesiology.

Breathing combined with training can more effectively control physical energy and distribute physical energy, which is not the first time Gasol has seen it.

"But shouldn't the breathing method be just one or two fixed routines? Why is He Li's breathing method so complicated and seems to be particularly effective?"

As a rookie, Gasol was also deeply affected by physical limitations when he played the game, but He Li didn't seem to have any physical problems even in the finals.

You must know that Gasol has entered the NBA at 21 years old, and he is 3 years older than He Li!

He Li's performance is not scientific at all!

Previously, Gasol thought that Heli was a physical monster, but now he finds out that it seems to be based on science?

"Is it so magical?" Gasol was quite curious.

At this time, John Jia was already on the sidelines.

"If you want to learn, I will teach you!"

It didn't take long for Gasol to pay John Jia.

Two days later, Kwame Brown did too!And soon, kicked off the original agent, hired Jeff Austin as his current agent.

Time soon came to the beginning of August, and He Li's training camp was already on the right track.

He Li asked Jeff Austin to call for help, and called Reid, Alston, and Carlos Boozer, who Jeff Austin had just signed not long ago, to the training camp.

He Li has adapted to his weight-gaining body. Next, he will try to play 3V3 or even 5V5 matches to simulate the intensity of the regular season for further testing.

However, at this time, the alliance suddenly suffered a major earthquake.

"Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Garnett swap clubs!"

"Shaquille O'Neal was traded for the second time in a week, the sharks traveled eastward, and teamed up with the Celtics to create another glory!"

Seeing the brash operations of other teams' management during the offseason, He Li's scalp was numb.

"I'm just a kid, so there's no need to treat me like this?"
