The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Chapter 74 Meeting an opponent in chess



Yokohama Royal Park Hotel…

While humming a tune, Bob Myers checked the newly obtained training contract information from the Japan Basketball Association, highlighting the key points of some clauses and possible loopholes for Stern to review when he returns.

These are some additional terms proposed yesterday by Masatoshi Ozaki, chairman of the Japan Basketball Association. Basically, he hopes that through Stern, Japan will be given some NBDL trial training quotas every year, and by the way, he will help to connect some Japanese students to join the NSAA or NSAA every year. A letter of recommendation from the NCAA, of course, guarantees a certain amount of playing time.

The NBDL is originally the lower league of the league. It only gives some teams trial training spots. It is not a big deal. With Stern's status in the American basketball world, he has contacted the high school and college basketball circles and asked them to train a few Japanese players. The quota is not a problem. As for guaranteeing playing time and so on... Anyway, these Japanese guys have a lot of money and are willing to spend it. As long as they have money, they can talk about anything. Do you think the school boards and team coaches of high school and university in the United States Are we all noble people who regard money as dirt?

So among all these conditions, Stern is actually just a pimp, and it can be said that there is no difficulty.

Of course, in contrast, the Japan Basketball Association is responsible for strengthening the NBA's various promotion cooperation in Japan and even Asia. This time NHK spent 5 million US dollars to purchase broadcast rights, and also intends to sign another long-term broadcast contract, that is, Japan Basketball The association made great efforts and attracted sponsorship from several companies behind NBL teams.

…………

Bob Myers played in the NCAA for two years at the University of California, Los Angeles, but due to limited physical talent, he ultimately failed to make a name for himself on this road.

But as an avid basketball fan, after graduating from school, he passed David Stern's personal interview with his excellent grades and unique basketball vision, and joined the NBA Major League. Currently, his main job is to do David Stern's job. Tern's personal assistant and also serves as the league's draft evaluator.

And this time being able to connect to Japan has led to the cooperation between NHK, the Japan Basketball Association and the NBA, allowing the NBA to take a big step in the Asian market. He, as an assistant, played a big role in this. After all, Stern and the Japan Basketball Association in the early stage He is basically responsible for the docking work.

Stern has been very satisfied with him recently. Before attending the event organized by Ozaki Masatoshi this morning, Stern specifically talked to him. He intends to transfer him to the league management department to be responsible for data coordination after returning to the United States. , and next year’s draft work, etc.

From the president's assistant to the grassroots, it seemed like a devolution, but Bob knew very well that this was a grassroots insertion by Stern, who regarded him as a confidant, so that he could be promoted later, and Duotuo's future would be bright.

Japan is really a blessed place for me...

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

"Bob! Bob!"

While Bob was thinking beautifully, there was a rapid knock on the door.

It was Hill's voice. Last night, that guy, together with Chris and Robles, hooked up with a waiter in a hotel. Three men over two meters tall surrounded a little girl who was about 1.5 meters tall. See……

Fortunately, he discovered it early when he heard the hotel staff discussing it, and communicated with the hotel manager in time. Otherwise, if someone spread this matter, it would have a negative impact on the image of the NBA's visit to Japan.

I just received a scolding from myself in the morning, but hearing the hurried look, what happened again?

Bob frowned and went over to open the door, but before he could scold him, Hill had already said hurriedly: "No, Bob, come with me quickly. Robles is playing fast on the field in front of the hotel." There was a fight with someone! Many passers-by were watching!"

Bob gasped instantly, his eyes nearly popped out of his frame, and he was so nervous that he spoke an English sentence that maybe even people from the Dragon Kingdom could understand.

"King! Virtue! Fa!"

………………

On the court, Lin Dong and Robles were already a little out of breath.

After 4:0, Robles, who was in control of the ball, rushed to the penalty area with Lin Dong and scored with a pull-up, regaining 1 point.

But the next shot that followed was Lin Dong jumping up high and slapped him away.

The score is 4:1.

Lin Dong held the ball and made three extreme changes of direction. Although he failed to get away from Robles, he successfully cut into the basket. When he jumped high, he used a sideways backhand to avoid Robles' block, and succeeded with the lever.

The score reached 5:1, but then he was blocked by Robles' close body. The fierce physical confrontation caused Lin Dong to make a mistake in changing direction, and the opponent successfully intercepted the ball.

Robles learned from his previous experience.

This Asian is indeed not simple. His wingspan is ridiculously long, his jumping and explosiveness are higher than his own, and even his defensive steps, consciousness, etc. are obviously stronger than his own.

The only thing worse than yourself is your body and strength, so rely on your physical strength to eat him!

Being able to pass the NBA trial training, Robles' intuition and insight into basketball are by no means bad.

So what followed was a pure brute strength competition with three back-up blows in succession, a strong body push, forcing the opponent's position, a pretty standard back-up fight, and scoring with a hook.

Robles is 201cm tall and weighs 95KG, compared to Lin Dong who is 194cm tall and weighs 85KG.

The bodies of both sides are not at the same level at all, so Lin Dong is a little helpless in the face of such a back attack. After all, there is a ten kilogram difference in tonnage here!

The score soon got closer to 5:4, but when the fourth goal came, Lin Dong seemed to have found some sense of preventing him from playing behind the back, and gradually adapted to the opponent's strength. At this time, he puffed up his cheeks and pushed Hold your left arm on your chest and push hard.

Every deep breath is a fierce collision! Every deep breath is also an adjustment!

At this time, in addition to strength, it is also a battle of wills.

The opponent hit him like a truck, causing Lin Dong's whole body to feel sore, but his body always stood horizontally like an iron wall, with his legs on the ground like a bull thrusting, and he refused to give in!

Although he was still squeezed one step away from the basket by the opponent, Robles was already at his wits end.

A slightly weak turnaround jump shot was jumped up by the highly focused Lin Dong, who swatted away the basketball he had just released.

Although his strength was slightly inferior, his endurance and recovery were clearly superior. Before Robles could recover, Lin Dong, who landed on the ground, rushed towards the basketball that was shot near the midline and copied the ball in his hand. Instant offense and defense transition.

Faced with Robles, who rushed to defend and was not yet close to him, Lin Dong made a pull-up shot from outside the three-point line without hesitation.

Uh-huh!

The ball scored, 6:4!

Mu Shen and others on the sidelines had already been so fascinated by the scene that they opened their mouths and were speechless.

What kind of magical showdown is this?

Fierce transitions between offense and defense, raw animalistic melee combat, and various miraculous scoring methods. Every ball is as standard as a textbook, and every move is as fierce as a comet hitting the earth. This is a competition at the same level!

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

It seems that he only hit a few balls, but every ball is a state of exertion, and the physical exertion is rapidly accumulated and multiplied geometrically.

Lin Dong held the ball and hit Robles with his back, his eyes flashing with excitement.

At this moment, all distracting thoughts, such as skills, physical fitness, future development, purpose of singles, etc., have long been isolated from Lin Dong's consciousness.

At this moment, there seemed to be some overlap between Robles' appearance and the black man who was already vague in his memory, which made Lin Dong involuntarily think of what the guy had asked him back then.

Why do you want to play in the NBA so much?

Because I like challenges!

Lin Dong grinned, and the sound of talking to himself made Robles frown, and followed closely.

Uh-huh!

A fake movement of turning right, slightly adjusting Robles' center of gravity, and at the same time, his body has turned sharply to the left, and his right leg has taken a quick step forward, possessing a breakthrough!

There are no fancy turns, no messy thoughts about changing directions, and the so-called technology is abandoned, leaving pure instinct.

The high level of confrontation made the body's explosion feel natural at this moment. It seemed like a simple step, but it was so fast that it was unparalleled!

Robles hurriedly wanted to move laterally, but he was already blocked by the opponent's super-fast first step.

Lin Dong lowered his body, dribbling with his right hand and spreading his left hand. He took one step past Robles and went straight to the basket, taking off only one step beyond the free throw line.

boom!

A flying dunk ignited the tense emotions of the audience on the sidelines. At the same time, it also stunned Bob Myers, who had just ran into the court in a hurry.

The pass just now, and the extreme stretch when flying and dunking...

Oh, God Almighty, what on earth have you shown me?

A yellow-skinned Japanese?

Is this just a Japanese guy?

No!

This FMD is simply a market and money that is readily available!
