Chapter 2: McHale's Vision
(Update recovery, welcome everyone to test the virus~)
Ray Allen did not cherish his broom, but carefully taught Li Shihao and Curry a lot of practical techniques.
The outside world does not have a good opinion of Ray Allen. Although Gentleman Lei is a frequent visitor to the Moral Style Award every year, he is withdrawn and does not get along well with his teammates. Every time he transfers, he will even have trouble with his old club. Come.
However, Ray Allen does take care of Li Shihao and Curry very much. Perhaps in his opinion, the reason why Li Shihao and Curry are both shooters is one of them.
Ray Allen not only taught Li Shihao and Curry the technical points of breaking through others, but also shared a lot of experience in shooting.
As the league's three-point marksman after Reggie Miller, Ray Allen's skills are absolutely solid, and no one in the league has more say than him in grasping the timing of shots and the knack of shooting!
Ray Allen corrected Li Shihao's shooting hand shape. In the eyes of many people, Li Shihao's shooting hand shape is already standard enough, and his posture looks graceful, which can be called a picturesque state.
However, for Ray Allen, who is meticulous and demanding, Li Shihao's shooting hand shape is not good enough, at most it looks similar.
Of course, for the proud Ray Allen, even if Kobe shot in front of him, he would dismiss it.
After Li Shihao's shooting hand shape was corrected, his shooting percentage dropped a lot, mainly because he was not used to it. There would always be a little hesitation when shooting, and he could no longer feel as fast, accurate and ruthless as before.
However, according to Ray Allen, after practicing more times, there will be a qualitative change, and the shooting percentage will definitely be better than it is now after getting used to it.
While this made Li Shihao depressed, he also practiced hard secretly, trying to get used to this type of shot as soon as possible.
During these days of training, Stephen Curry has improved the most. His shooting style has been finalized and cannot be changed. Although it is not standard, in Ray Allen's eyes, Curry's shooting method is the best now. suits him.
However, Ray Allen is also very puzzled. Stephen Curry's father is a famous three-point shooter in the league. How could his father Dell Curry allow his son to practice such a one-handed shooting.
However, Stephen Curry did inherit the shooter gene from Dell Curry. Under the guidance of Ray Allen, Curry's shooting speed has been greatly improved, making it impossible for defenders to guard against. It is very stable, and the hit rate has not decreased due to the increased shooting speed.
The joint training time is quite long, but in fact, it is fleeting even in the sweat. This time, Li Shihao and Curry are quite grateful for Ray Allen's teaching. This summer training, it can be said that Jun Zilei's own training time was largely taken up by Li Shihao and Curry.
Whether it is Li Shihao or Curry, they are all grateful for Ray Allen's selfless teaching. They are all the same kind of people. It's what keeps them going.
After training, Ray Allen left temporarily. He became a free agent this summer. He needs to discuss contract issues with his agent. Whether the next step is to stay in Boston or transfer is important to Ray Allen Incomparable.
Li Shihao and Curry stayed to continue training, and the relationship and tacit understanding between the two became deeper.
Of course, the number of bullfights between them is not too small, and they often end in Li Shihao's victory. For Curry, Li Shihao's offensive and defensive characteristics make him envious, but Li Shihao is jealous of Curry's incomparably accurate three-pointers. It is said that the two of them have "ghost fetuses" each, and they are both full-fledged scheming boys.
Finally, it was time to part. Curry was going back to Oakland, and there was not much time left before the draft in the summer. The two parted in Charlotte that night. destination.
Sitting on the plane flying to Minnesota, Li Shihao looked at the dark sky outside the window, and his heart was peaceful. He also thought how wonderful it would be if he could play with Curry, but obviously it is impossible now, old Nelson The purpose of selecting Curry is very clear, that is to let Curry be the core of the team in the future.
A mad scientist will not easily tear up his conjecture plan!
As soon as the plane landed in Minneapolis, Li Shihao received a call from the general manager of the team, McHale. McHale did not elaborate on the specific matters on the phone, but asked himself to come to the team as soon as possible.
This also made Li Shihao a little curious. The team must have made some moves in the summer, and Li Shihao couldn't guess how they would do it. He asked himself to go today, presumably to ask for his opinion.
It has to be said that the general manager of the team, McHale, really gave himself enough face. Li Shihao is just a young player who just finished his rookie season, and he doesn't have that much right to speak, so there is no need to pay so much attention to it.
In order to reinforce in the summer, we still need to ask the team's core opinions, which is indeed a lot of work.
After Li Shihao arrived, he found that not only McHale and Frank Vogel were in the general manager's office, but even Glenn Taylor, who was always on the lookout, was also here.
Team owner Glenn Taylor used to be a Minnesota senator. He has deep connections in the state government. Even after retiring to the second line to concentrate on business, he never gave up wandering in the political arena.
Now that the team owners who are very busy people have appeared, although Li Shihao was very surprised, he was deeply impressed by the importance he attached to Glenn Taylor.
Indeed, compared with most bosses who are hands-off shopkeepers, the Timberwolves are extremely happy to have a boss like Glenn Taylor who pays close attention to team affairs.
After all, for most owners in the NBA, the team is just a big toy for them. They are more willing to hand over the team to professional managers instead of asking more questions.
When McHale saw Li Shihao coming, he smiled and said, "Bruce, since you're here, let's start!"
After speaking, McHale turned on the projector in the conference room, and a carefully crafted slideshow appeared on the white screen.
The above records in detail the player candidates within the target range of the Timberwolves this summer. It can be said that they are all able to complement the existing lineup of the Timberwolves, which shows the vicious vision of the team management.
Li Shihao glanced at the smiling McHale next to the boss, thoughtfully.
McHale is indeed a rare successful case in the league where a player transformed into a team manager. Not only was he incomparable in his player days, but he was equally outstanding when he took off his jersey and put on a suit.
