NBA's Super Troublemaker

Chapter 23, Template 2 in hand! Agent finalized.

During this period, Li He had been thinking about what shortcomings he needed to address.

If his goal is to become a superstar, he has so much to learn...

Handling and passing skills, dynamic talent, and ideally, a spectacular dunk, etc.

But all of this is based on the premise that...

To be able to play smoothly in the NBA.

In 2003 and the years that followed, the league was characterized by a tough and aggressive style, with dirty tricks being commonplace in the playoffs.

So after much deliberation, Li He decided to use a strong physique as the second template.

The answer is obvious: a player who retired just three years ago, a famous rookie in NBA history, and a representative of extreme self-discipline—AC Green.

AC Green played 1192 consecutive games in his 16-year professional career, missing only 3 games, with an attendance rate of 99.8%. Even the three games he missed were due to coaching arrangements, not physical reasons.

If he had the steel-like physique of AC Green, his career would have been free from injuries.

This is also key to becoming a star player.

Otherwise, injuries to the ankle or ligaments will affect the entire career.

After retiring, AC Green now lives in California, where he runs his own real estate company, gives speeches, and is busy with youth philanthropy and religious work.

Li He first sent an email to AC Green Company, stating that he was a college player and a fan of AC Green, and was currently in a state of confusion. He expressed his desire to visit them if given the opportunity.

That same evening, Li He received a reply from the other party, AC Green, who agreed to meet, but only for half an hour.

Li He rushed to California without stopping and successfully met the famous "King of Attendance" in NBA history the following afternoon.

The two met at a coffee shop, and upon meeting, AC Green immediately recognized Li He:

"Are you Hansen Lee?"

Li He smiled and said, "That's right, you actually know me."

"You've become quite famous lately, kid," AC Green frowned, "especially for that whole mess."

AC Green was not referring to the incident where Li He assaulted his teammates; that matter has already been clarified.

He was referring to the story of Li He having three meetings in one night!

As a devout Christian, AC Green remained celibate and resolutely refused premarital sex.

It is said that Magic Johnson once stuffed several beautiful women into his room, and AC Green was so frightened that he ran away and slept on the hotel sofa for the night.

People who practice extreme abstinence find Li He's dissolute behavior contemptible.

Li He immediately changed the subject:

"To be honest, I've been a fan of yours since I was a child. I'll be making it to the NBA this year, and I'd like to have a brief chat with you about self-discipline before I do."

"It seems you've realized how terrible indulgence can be." AC Green nodded; he was indeed very experienced in self-discipline.

Actually, I didn't realize it; I just wanted to get closer to you. Li He thought to himself.

The two began to talk at length about AC Green's usual physical training details.

Of course, none of these are important.

The important thing is that the two chatted more and more smoothly, and Li He took the opportunity to ask, "Is there a basketball court nearby? I want to have a one-on-one match with my idol and test the intensity."

AC Green had only been retired for three years and still bore the marks of his playing career. Considering that we had a pleasant conversation, I agreed.

The two found a nearby indoor sports hall and had a one-on-one match.

After a brief warm-up, Li He passed the ball to AC Green:

"Shall we begin? How about a three-ball serve?"

"Of course," AC Green agreed.

At the same time, the system notification arrived as expected:

[Would you like to consume one-on-one opportunity to duel AC Green? Winning will grant you his template.]

Without hesitation, Li He silently replied "Yes" in his heart.

AC Green started his attack from beyond the three-point line.

He stands at a height of 2.06 meters and averaged 9.6 points per game throughout his career, which is quite respectable.

Facing Li He's defense, AC Green tried to back down Li He from the outside. However, in the moment of physical contact, AC Green was quite surprised, not expecting Li He to be so strong in physical confrontation.

This guy, his lifestyle is dissolute enough, but his physical condition is excellent! AC Green thought to himself.

AC Green turned and forced a shot, but missed immediately.

"My turn," Li He said with a smile.

AC Green said, "Young man, I've seen your highlights. Try some NBA-level defensive treatment."

As soon as the ball was bounced to the ground, Li He, disregarding martial ethics, picked it up and threw it for a three-pointer.

Swish!

1:0.

AC Green thought to himself, "This young man is shameless. He has to resort to dirty tricks to deal with a retired player."

Next ball.

Li He tried to replicate the move, but just as he raised his hand, AC Green had already come over to defend. Li He dribbled to the side and took a step back to create space, and still took a three-pointer.

Hollow into the network!

"Is all you can do to shoot threes?!" AC Green exclaimed impatiently.

Li He smiled and didn't say anything. This time, he received the ball further away from the three-point line, so AC Green simply let him shoot a super long three-pointer.

It still hit the target steadily.

3:0.

AC Green chuckled helplessly, "Young man, the reports say you have NBA-level three-point shooting ability. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."

"As long as you are disciplined enough, you can definitely become an All-Star level player. You can do it."

Li He looked at the system notification message, "[AC Green template obtained]", and smiled at each other.

"Okay, thank you for your guidance."

Since parting ways with AC Green, Li He has already acquired two templates.

And then another new message appeared:

Should the Klay Thompson template be merged with the AC Green template?

Li He immediately replied, "Yes."

The performance brought by the Klay Thompson model is very obvious. His unreasonable shooting and scoring explosiveness, combined with Li He's static talent, is enough to dominate the NCAA.

The improvement brought by the AC Green template is invisible to the naked eye.

The steel-like bones hidden beneath his skin were enough to allow Li He to live a stable life throughout his entire career.

This is very important for a professional player.

……

Returning to school from California means I need to start accumulating one-on-one opportunities again, so daily training is essential.

At the same time, Li He also began receiving emails or phone calls from NBA agents.

To get into the NBA, he needs to find a suitable agent.

Agents such as Leon Rose, Bill Duffy, and Pelinka have all extended olive branches to Li He, seeking cooperation.

Besides valuing Li He's own abilities, the feedback from the Chinese market was also important.

In conclusion, in the eyes of agents, Hansen Lee is indeed a controversial player, but with great potential.

However, considering Li He's own situation, the possibility of a lower draft pick, and his personality, it's worth noting that...

I think being alone is quite suitable.

Dan Fagan.

Because he said something very insightful to Li He: "Hansen, I think you can take down the entire NBA!"

Danfegan, who possesses the attributes of an "adventurer," has an aggressive style of doing things and is among the most extreme of the agents.

A troublesome player paired with a troublesome agent is the best combination.
