Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Chapter 14: The legend of Harlem

"So, is this a genius..." Hibbert muttered to himself as he watched Zuo Li who was skilled in completing various training requirements on the court.

In the past three months, Hibbert has lost count of how many times he has made such a sigh, anyway, many are correct, so many that this sentence is almost becoming his catchphrase now.

Oh, no, it's not just his, but the mantra of the whole orphanage, especially the basketball team.

The amount of training on the first day barely made Zuo Li fall asleep for 8 hours, and after only eight hours, Zuo Li stood on the court again, and this time, Hibbert's training was completely absorbed by Zuo Li, and After only 10 days, Zuo Li was able to complete the whole set of training perfectly, and even had the spare energy to do another 14 sets of return runs after training.

"Coach, it's time to increase the amount of training."

When he heard Zuo Li say this to him calmly, Hibbert didn't know what kind of expression he had, but it must be wonderful, but Hibbert was not dissatisfied at all, but nervous and excited, because, This time he may have really met a baby, Zuo Li is the kind of real talented player!

So Hibbert once again increased the training volume. This time, the training volume was enough to make more than 90% of the people on the streets of New York unmatched. Even many high school players could not bear such training. However, Zuo Li still only used half of it. It took me a month to get used to the training completely.

From that moment on, the genius was on the lips of Hibbert and all the children in the orphanage, and even younger children would use the word 'monster' to describe Zuo Li. The tired Zuo Li is not a monster or anything.

In three months, Hibbert increased the training content six times. By the time of 1998, Zuo Li's progress was visible to the naked eye, and he could often be seen on the court playing one-on-two or even one-on-three.

If Jerry could still rely on experience to play a dozen times before, now he is no longer Zuo Li's opponent.

And he was gradually conquered by Zuo Li.

No way, the strength of the stadium is respected. It is hard not to admire him when you stay with such a person every day. In addition, Zuo Li has mentioned what happened before, and gave Jerry and others a lot of pointers in training. Soon , Zuo Li became the most popular guy here.

And just two days after entering 1998, Zuo Li silently completed the first dunk in his life under the watchful eyes of the whole orphanage.

Bang!

When the basketball burst into the frame and Zuo Li hung on the frame, the whole orphanage was boiling, and Hibbert even slipped and knelt on the concrete floor. Mr. Derek was dumbfounded. Does it hurt.

Pain is pain, but excitement is also really excited.

The dunk of an 8-year-old is unbelievable anywhere, but it happened so real in front of them, which proves one thing: genius is really born in front of their eyes.

Zuo Li, on the other hand, remained calm. He just waved his hand and continued his training. In the following time, Zuo Li did not dunk again, and even in the subsequent training, Zuo Li did not dunk any more. Instead, he used more different applications. His layup skills also disappointed the onlookers.

But Zuo Li has his own ideas. Of course, dunking is good, passionate, shocking, and fans love to watch it, but this is not the most important thing at the moment. On the contrary, he has seen many big men before. They are too reliant on dunking and ignore it. When you are young, you will naturally be hello, me, and everyone, but at the end of your career, you will know that there is no technical pain.

No, Master Huo.

So Zuo Li secretly made a decision. Before he has tempered his skills, he will never buckle if he can.

So the guys who were expecting Zuo Li to show off dunks in training are destined to be disappointed, and Zuo Li's life continues to return to normal. In addition to training every day, he learns some basic knowledge. The basketball world outside is in full swing, and the afterglow of Mr. Qiao is still shrouded. The world is changing, but Harlem has a good taste of the quiet years.

Under such circumstances, a quiet and thoughtful trip changed Zuoli's basketball path.

This was one afternoon in February. Zuo Li, who had finished training, did not train himself as usual, but decided to go out for a walk while it was still light. After coming here for half a year, his life was almost Near this orphanage, the farthest is no more than this street, and today, Zuo Li plans to go to a farther place to have a look.

After all, in addition to the notorious dangers in Harlem, it is also the center of New York street culture. Many classics are still worth visiting. Needless to say, Locke Park is the place to be conquered after Zuo Li, so it is not the goal of today. Zuo Li is going to walk to 130th Street today.

When it comes to 130th Street, there must be a person, a person who has heard of his name even if he doesn't play streetball.

Earl McNicott, nicknamed - The Goat!

The goat born in New York set foot on the streets early. All kinds of terrible temptations are swallowing up the future of young people every day. Maybe it is because there is no money in his pocket. Obsessed with basketball.

Almost every night at the corner of 130th Street ~www.novelmt.com~ one can see a small black kid barely dunking, and some passers-by stop and laugh at "Goat"'s clumsy dunk--they don't know, in " Goat" had two heavy sandbags tied into his socks.

This is where the legend of the goat begins.

Turn right from the block of the orphanage. After 15 minutes, Zuoli was walking on the street of 130th Street. Compared with the place where Zuoli lives, there is not much difference. Of course, the security will be slightly better. These are also the reasons why Zuo Ligan came here so swaggeringly.

On the court on the corner of 130th Street, Zuoli stopped here. There were still people playing streetball on the court. On a small sign on the sidelines, Zuoli found the name of Earl McNicott. There is no doubt that, even today, he is still a legend here.

"It's a pity, I don't have a chance to see you play." Zuo Li stood in front of the sign and said with a smile, then rubbed his head, feeling a little funny about the purpose of his impulsive trip.

That's right, Zuoli just wanted to see with his own eyes the place where the goat played. After all, even in the era when Zuoli played before crossing the road, the name of the goat has always existed in people's word of mouth.

Since he had come through, Zuo Li naturally wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on here, but Zuo Li was wrong. The stadium itself was no different, and the legendary goat was not here.

"Hey boy, what's so good about a brand?"

And just when Zuo Li was about to turn around and leave, a thick voice came from behind Zuo Li.

Zuo Li turned around and saw a black uncle standing there, hunched over his waist, a wine bottle in his left hand, a cigarette in the right, and fresh hops on his gray beard...

"What the hell…"
