Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 5 Meeting and getting to know each other
The celebration party was held almost all night, all night long, which was in line with the identities of this group of young people, and they were full of endless energy.

Of course, except for Li Weisi.

After talking with Frank for 10 minutes, Li Weisi consciously pinched, got up and left.

Even though there were still many topics that were not discussed at the time, seeing that Li Weisi was already looking at his watch, Frank had no choice but to let Li Weisi go. Frank knew the strict work and rest time of his buddy very well.

The Wyndham New Yorker Hotel is a four-star hotel. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the team to arrange such a hotel to stay in, but who made Frank rich!
When the team reached the finals, Frank waved his hand and directly booked 20 rooms for the team for free. Even the party tonight was paid by Frank.

Otherwise, why do you think that Frank coming to the team is like going home?
The life of the rich is so unpretentious and boring.

Back in the room, Li Weisi folded the clothes he had taken off and put them neatly on the head of the bed, then lay down on the 2-meter-high bed, covered him with a quilt, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

However, a few minutes later, he opened his eyes again, unable to fall back asleep.

One of the reasons for this is that the usual sleep time has passed, and the other is that the excitement in my heart cannot be calmed down for a long time.

He underestimated the joy that winning the championship brought him, and overestimated his own endurance.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his brain began to play a movie, replaying his life repeatedly, and the first scene was the day he met Frank.

That year, he was eight years old and Frank was ten years old, and the place was the school's basketball court.

I still remember that day, Frank was wearing a Rick Barry No. 24 jersey. At that time, he was still very thin, and the jersey with the yellow vest still looked empty.

Frank, with blond hair and hooked nose, looked a little cute. When he saw the basketball in his hand, he took the initiative to greet himself.

At that time, because his parents had just divorced, he was very withdrawn. Coupled with his identity as a Chinese, it was fine for the people in the school not to bully him, and no one would talk to him at all.

But Frank didn't care about his skin color at all, and even took the initiative to greet him in Chinese because he was of yellow race.

Since I lived in a bilingual family, my spoken Chinese was not good at that time. When I suddenly met a Caucasian whose Chinese was better than my own, the distance between the two of them was shortened in an instant.

Frank's basketball level at that time was very high. Because he was new to basketball and Frank was two years old, he was not Frank's opponent at all.

However, that's it, because of basketball, the two met and got acquainted, played together every day, went to and from school together, and in the end, they became inseparable.

Frank knows a lot. He knows a lot of weird training methods, such as squat and pull, "8" circle, "V" dribble in front of his hands, "S" dribble and so on.

Although the type of training is weird, the effect is quite good. After graduating from elementary school at the age of 12, Li Weisi not only grew more than ten centimeters taller, but also became stronger.

They once made a vow together to enter the NBA hand in hand, but after entering middle school, Frank's talent was no longer enough to support him to continue to move forward to his dream.

In desperation, Frank took the initiative to pin this hope on him, and told himself earnestly to let himself focus on training, and he would serve as the logistics captain to solve all the things outside the stadium for Li Weisi.

Later, out of an accurate judgment on the future, Frank resolutely asked his family for 50 US dollars and decided to "start from scratch".

Later, he successfully invested in Microsoft and Apple in the early days of their business, and after their listing, the stock price soared, and he took the opportunity to cash out part of the stock, which made him look like he is not short of money, so he can ignore his family In my opinion, I bought the Warriors at a willful high price, just to fulfill my childhood dream.

Speaking of Frank's accurate prediction of the future, Li Weisi sometimes feels miraculous. Frank seems to have the ability to predict the future. He can predict the occurrence of some major events just through some inconspicuous details. Li Weisi feels ashamed of himself. Not as good.

In addition, although Frank's physical talent is not good, and his training is not hard enough, he is extremely sensitive to the prediction of the result of the game. The two of them watched the NBA together when they were students, and Frank can even predict the outcome of the game before it starts.

Although Li Weisi carefully analyzed the reasons Frank said through scientific calculations, it was impossible to deduce the conclusions Frank said based on these alone. In the end, Li Weisi had to attribute Frank's miraculous prophecy to Frank's keen premonition .

In short, now Frank has prepared the best route for himself. Originally, he was worried that he would not be able to go to a suitable team because of his low pick, let alone get attention.

Don't look at him successfully leading this little-known Stanford University to win the NCAA championship, don't look at him winning the MOP, but the prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, and the United States, a country with serious discrimination against skin color, is even more so. in this way.

His most optimistic ranking at the beginning was just a lottery pick, and his unoptimistic ranking even reached the second round. This may have something to do with his physical talent, but the more important thing is not his own Skin color?
But now Frank has solved this problem for himself. He bought the Warriors, and he will inevitably build a team based on his own ability with himself as the core.

Then the only question then is whether he is worthy of being the core of an NBA championship-level team.

Judging from his current strength, there is probably no second answer to this question.

Although he was an absolute core in college, but after entering the NBA, his physical ability, which was already at a disadvantage in the NCAA, will further hinder him. Therefore, how to overcome physical limitations and further improve his strength will become his next few years. key goals.

Thinking of this, Li Weisi decided not to think too much, he should go to bed immediately and get ready for the next day's training.

At 6:30 the next morning, Li Weisi's biological clock automatically woke him up from his sleep.

Because he fell asleep too late the night before, he had a hard time getting up today, and his head was a little groggy. After he got up, he carefully evaluated his physical condition. Considering the length of his sleep last night, Li Weisi thought that he would The body is in a state of fatigue, and last night's sleep cannot completely eliminate fatigue.

Therefore, Li Weisi decided to adjust the training program this morning, and choose the morning run for the activities before breakfast.

After deciding on the training items, Li Weisi put on a training suit, got off the elevator, walked out of the lobby, and went outside the hotel to start the necessary warm-up activities.
