Chapter 2 Klay, you still need to practice your three-pointers.
Clay?
Following the sound, two young-looking junior high school boys were playing ball.
Li He immediately recognized one of them as Klay Thompson, one of the "Splash Brothers".
Currently, Klay Thompson is only 13 years old and lives with his father in Los Angeles. Michael Thompson is working as a commentator.
He has already reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA this year, and he came to the University of Arizona for related activities.
Li He glanced subconsciously at the [Respect the Elderly and Love the Young] King of Football System, secretly pleased that Klay Thompson perfectly fit the criteria.
A player who hasn't entered the league yet, and whose player profile is quite strong.
Lost in thought, the duel between the two boys ended, with Clay winning easily and feeling quite pleased with himself.
Li He stepped forward, smiling, and asked:
"You're Klay? I'm a fan of your father's game. Can I play with you?"
Klay Thompson was initially taken aback when he saw the tall and imposing Li He, but upon hearing that he was his father's fan, he relaxed and nodded, saying:
"OK."
Standing at 1.99 meters tall with a 2.21-meter wingspan, Li He's physical attributes are absolutely top-notch.
But if you want to play in the NBA, physical talent alone is far from enough.
With a few simple running layups, Li He gradually began to adapt to his body, but he still needed to adapt to transitioning into jump shots and long-range three-pointers.
Unfortunately, having a long wingspan can sometimes be a problem.
Looking at NBA historical shooters like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, and Reggie Miller, none of them had exaggerated wingspans. Short wingspans mean a shorter power chain for shooting, giving them an advantage in release speed during games.
Of course, Li He's goal is not just to become a super shooter.
Dribble, start, and slam dunk with both hands, Li He savoring the joy of the ball hitting the rim.
Li He suggested, "Klay, you played pretty well just now, how about a one-on-one game?"
Klay Thompson Jr. nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
"OK, three balls in a row, you serve first."
Klay Thompson Jr. dribbles the ball beyond the three-point line; he's adept at one-on-one situations. His father was a number one draft pick and later became a commentator at Staples Center. Klay has faced Lakers players one-on-one before and wasn't intimidated.
At that moment, the system voice in Li He's mind arrived as promised:
"Use this opportunity to challenge 13-year-old Klay Thompson to a one-on-one match. Winning will grant you his template."
Bang, bang.
Klay Thompson Jr. made two quick changes of direction before driving straight to the basket for a layup.
But the basketball was blocked by Li He with a powerful one-handed block as soon as it was released.
"Damn it!"
Klay Thompson Jr. sighed helplessly. This guy is too tall; it's too difficult to make a layup in front of him.
A friend next to Clay complained, "This is just bullying!"
Li He chuckled to himself, thinking that this was just the beginning; the real action was yet to come.
[Respect the Elderly and Love the Young] The King of Football system currently only offers one chance, and the opportunity to get a one-on-one match is unknown, so Li He definitely needs to make the most of it.
Use the most robust method to obtain the template.
The reason for choosing the three-ball instant cast is for this reason.
There's not much "gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility" on the basketball court. Even when facing 13-year-old Klay Thompson, Li He has to go all out and not give his opponent any chance.
Possession of the ball changes.
Without any fancy moves, Li He dribbled the ball and took three steps to make a layup, scoring easily.
Klay Thompson Jr. shook his head helplessly; the physical difference between the two was too great.
The result will be in the next round.
The shameless Li He started his back-to-the-basket move directly from the three-point line, and no matter how Klay Thompson defended him, it was to no avail. He easily scored two points under the basket.
The third play was the same; he drove all the way to the basket, shoved Klay Thompson Jr. aside, and slammed it down with both hands.
3 is better than 0!
Klay Thompson Jr. was furious. This guy, who was nearly two meters tall, had absolutely no skills and was just bullying a child!
After successfully scoring, Li He patted Klay Thompson on the head, said "You still need to practice," and then plopped down on the sidelines.
"Congratulations, host, for defeating 13-year-old Klay Thompson in a one-on-one match and obtaining the [Klay Thompson Template]!"
They've arrived!
The moment he obtained the template, Li He felt a strange sensation fill his body. His shooting motion, honed through countless trials, seemed to become a habit as he raised his hand. When he looked at the basket again...
Ok?
Why has the basketball hoop gotten so big?
Is this how a super shooter sees the basketball hoop?
Moreover, off-the-ball movement and defensive details were all etched into my mind.
Klay Thompson, the greatest 3-and-D player of all time and one of the most explosive scorers in the NBA, showed Li He what true power is.
Next, look at the system panel.
[Current challenge attempts: 0 (Progress 0%)]
[Note: Training, competitions, and winning honors can all increase progress.]
"I see. I just don't know how long it will take to add another challenge."
"Never mind, with a prime Klay Thompson template, playing in the NCAA is a piece of cake," Li He thought to himself.
The NCAA season is drawing to a close, and the Arizona Wildcats, led by legendary coach Lute Olsen, have made it into the Final Eight.
However, following the original trajectory, they were about to lose to the Kansas Ravenclaws, led by Coach Roy Williams, in the quarterfinals.
Klay Thompson Jr. was furious after the loss. He hadn't expected Li He to be so shameless, backing him down directly, and started complaining:
"Hey big man, you can't shoot, can you? Why are you only posting up?"
Li He laughed and said, "My shooting is alright, I guess."
The basketball rolled to Li He's side. He picked it up, sat on the ground, and gently pushed it. The basketball arced beautifully from outside the court and hit the back rim, scoring a goal.
Klay Thompson Jr. was a little surprised. Was this guy's shooting that good?
You can just pick something from that far away so easily, you must be guessing!
"If you don't believe me, try again!"
This time, as Li He stood up and received the ball, his shooting posture formed instinctively.
Slightly crouch down, tighten your core, and generate power with your feet the moment you receive the ball, then jump up smoothly – a textbook shooting form, the whole movement flowing effortlessly.
With a flick of the wrist, the basketball spun wildly, tracing a perfect arc in the air.
Hollow into the network!
Unfortunately, the outdoor basketball court didn't have a net, so we didn't hear that "swish" sound.
But it was enough to shock the two little ones.
Because Li He shot from outside the court, further than the NBA three-point line.
"One more time!"
Swish!
Li He continued to hit the target.
When he hit three consecutive three-pointers from outside the court, Klay Thompson Jr. admitted that his older brother's shooting skills were indeed ridiculously strong.
Even Kobe Bryant of the NBA's Lakers couldn't shoot as accurately as him.
"Little Clay, you still need to practice more."
Li He left the basketball court after saying a few words, leaving Klay Thompson Jr. wandering around the court in bewilderment.
"What's wrong with me? I have this urge to play like him..." Klay Thompson Jr. thought to himself.
After leaving the stadium, Li He went straight to the training hall.
Having acquired the peak [Klay Thompson template], he is full of confidence for the remainder of March Madness.
But Li He knew that competitive sports are very cruel. Even if you have a template, you still need to train constantly and maintain your competitive and physical condition in order to perform better in the competition.
He also wants to participate in this year's draft.
Young Zhan, Guagua, cheeks, long neck...
The 2003 talent show was really interesting.
