Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 41
Frank bought ten apartments in a high-end apartment building near the Warriors Training Center. As for why he didn't buy the entire building?

Frank said that he was too poor and needed to continue to work hard to earn money, but a single building seriously exceeded his ability to make money. It seemed that his plan to make money had a long way to go.

The veterans of the team either bought or rented a house in Oakland or San Francisco, and they don’t need this apartment. Therefore, most of the rookies living in the apartment are this year’s rookies. Well, they are all single dogs. Who is the target living here!

And the most surprising thing is that Li Weisi also lived here.

Of course, the surprise is not that Li Weisi is single, but that Li Weisi is originally from San Francisco, and his home is in San Francisco. It is still half an hour away by car, so there is no need to live in an apartment.

But Li Weisi still took the initiative to ask for an apartment. Frank would naturally not refuse this request.

Unlike other rookies because of money, Li Weisi is not because of money. He has the biggest contract among several rookies. What's more, Li Weisi himself has no interest in money at all. He came to take care of it, he didn't touch the money at all, he just swiped his card to buy whatever he wanted.

The reason why Li Weisi chose the apartment was more out of time-saving considerations. He could reach the training hall by running every day without letting Li Weiguo come to pick him up near the training hall.

However, Li Weisi overlooked one point, that is, this apartment building, which is like a dormitory, is home to a group of energetic young guys. These people are not good neighbors.

Therefore, after he moved in, he suffered from the hustle and bustle of the "857" next door every night, and the noise caused by the activities from "684" to "687" with his neighbors in the middle of the night.

After repeated protests by Li Weisi, the neighbors restrained themselves, giving Li Weisi a chance to breathe.

This afternoon, Li Weisi returned to the apartment from the training hall as usual. After returning, he did not rest immediately, but while doing yoga and stretching his body, he placed the book by Yuval Harari in front of him. "A Brief History of Mankind", read it carefully.

He loves the idea that history tells us that a very small number of people are doing something, while the vast majority of the rest of the life is constantly picking water and farming.

Li Weisi took it for granted, and his own efforts, obviously let him get rid of the shackles of diving and plowing, and he can engage in the work he likes. What could be more gratifying than this?

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

The knocking on the door was rude without the slightest bit of courtesy.

Li Weisi, who put his legs on his neck, frowned and shouted, "Wait!"

After about a few minutes, Li Weisi finished the set of movements, finally got up, opened the door, and standing outside the door was an embarrassed Rodman.

"What are you here for?"

"Can you talk in the corridor?"

Although he resisted somewhat, Li Weisi still dodged in desperation and let Rodman enter his room.

Rodman glanced around the room, it was clean and tidy, there were a lot of books, how could this be a house for athletes?It was clearly a good student's room.

A room without smelly yellow socks and jerseys thrown around always made Rodman seem a little uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" Li Weisi asked again.

The introverted Rodman was a little embarrassed, he groaned for a long time, and finally said what he wanted, "West, you said that I defend well, is it true or not?"

"Potential is potential. I meant that your defensive potential is good, but I didn't say that your defense is good!" Li Weisi corrected.

"Yes, then how can I turn my potential into strength?" While speaking, Rodman looked at Li Weisi with a little more expectation.

In recent training, Rodman struggled very much.

Although in the first confrontation training match, he made a big splash, but in the subsequent training, everyone found that this guy is a three-headed axe, who looks bluffing, but is actually not worth mentioning.

Although he jumps up and down on the court every game, his skills are too rough. As long as he is not on the same team as Li Weisi, playing him on the offensive end is equivalent to 4v5. It is considered qualified, but it is not very prominent, and it cannot make up for the shortcomings he brought on the offensive end. It can be said that he looks very weak on the court.

What's even more frightening is that he is already 25 years old. Players at this age have basically begun to reach their peak state, and some have even passed their peak. What about Rodman?Still just a rookie, expecting Rodman to fulfill his talent?

It's better to count on Ingram to fulfill his talents and become his own ultimate template. After all, although he has played for four years, he is still younger than Rodman at this time.

Although the sensitive Rodman has a weird personality and often makes some actions beyond ordinary people's imagination, he is not stupid, and he is even very smart. He is obviously aware of this during training. The coaching staff has a certain impression of him. Changes, the most obvious manifestation of which is the playing time in the match.

The veteran Whitehead, who originally shared the bench time equally with himself, now spends more and more time on the court.

Rodman is a player with a bit of low self-esteem, he longs to be recognized, and it is precisely because of this that he fainted with excitement in the draft, but once he is not recognized, he will be very anxious, He was eager to change these, but he couldn't do it.

After all, he only started playing basketball at the age of 19. Although he entered the NBA with his talent, his weak basic skills and lack of understanding of training lead to half the effort in training.

Such a change made Rodman very impatient. He desperately wanted to improve his strength to let the team recognize him, but he couldn't find a suitable method for a while. After thinking about it for a long time, Rodman still found it. Li Weisi.

As for why he sought Li Weisi, in Rodman's opinion, Li Weisi knew a lot, but in fact, he didn't even realize that when something went wrong, he would unconsciously think of seeking Li Weisi's help. I became dependent on Li Weisi.

"Training!" To Rodman's inquiry, Li Weisi answered two words neatly.

Rodman couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, what do you need to say about training?If the training is useful, why should I ask you?But he continued to ask tirelessly: "Then how should I train?"

Therefore, Li Wei told Rodman a lot of training methods in a blunt manner, and Rodman heard it as if he was listening to a scripture, and he didn't know what to say.

After speaking, Rodman didn't understand at all, but this didn't affect his head swelling and pain, so he said again: "Can you teach me? It doesn't feel easy to understand just talking about it."

Rodman's reasonable request made Li Weisi frowned. It wasn't that Li Weisi didn't want to teach Rodman, but that he couldn't defend himself inside. Just knowing theoretical knowledge and practical operation are completely different things, so Li Weisi came to teach him. Rodman's defense, isn't this as funny as asking Wang to teach everyone how to prevent the epidemic?

After thinking for a long time, Li Weisi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of an idea. His low post defense is not good, but there is someone in the team. If you want to find a teacher, isn't this ready-made?
