Chapter 858 266: I Am Boss Qiao's Diehard Fan! (11,000 Words)_3

The morning activities were quite relaxed. In the afternoon, Zhang Hao, holding the little girl Le Lin, who had grown a bit bigger, took the two ladies to Quicken Loans Arena. This new stadium, put into use in '95, is pretty nice.

This afternoon Zhang Hao didn't schedule any training. Since it's the All-Star weekend holiday, they should take a two-day break. There was activity in the morning, so they'd rest in the afternoon, watch the dunk contest in the evening, and no plans on the actual All-Star game day tomorrow. They'd train in the morning, go out in the afternoon, and watch the game in the evening.

Pierce battled three women overnight and couldn't get up today. He'll come to watch the game by himself tonight, so there's no need to worry about him.

Initially, Zhang Hao had planned this way, but upon arriving at Quicken Loans Arena, the two ladies took the little girl to go shop at the nearby mall, leaving Zhang Hao alone at the arena, feeling quite speechless.

Luckily, one of the training courts at Quicken Loans Arena was free this afternoon. There was an activity, but it was on the main court over there.

With nothing to do, he decided to continue training!

At first, Zhang Hao was quite worried about choosing the wrong subject to learn, as it would waste a precious chance to activate a simulated training opportunity once, but after training for two days, the progress was pretty good! The rhythm and shooting motion of the stop-and-pop technique really suits him, mainly because he got used to the shooting motion.

Zhang Hao was training there when, at 3 PM, a bald-headed man walked into the court that was supposed to be empty.

"This kid is really hardworking. Didn't he say he was injured and couldn't play in the All-Star game?"

Jordan also planned to come for extra practice. This year the pressure is really high; although the Magic collapsed, the Heat, Knicks, Pistons, Hornets, and Hawks are all tough to deal with!

The most troublesome is still the Cavaliers. If that purely defensive team gets into the playoffs, and especially as the eighth seed, the first round will be hard to play.

Therefore, he has to be fully prepared and practice more whenever he has time.

Unexpectedly, when he came for practice, he saw Zhang Hao.

Moreover, after watching for a while, Jordan surprisingly discovered that Zhang Hao was learning his stop-and-pop jump shot!

Zhang Hao felt pretty good about his current learning progress, and it was indeed going well, but it was just the beginning. In Jordan's eyes, Zhang Hao's practice was too clumsy—only the posture looked right, and the rhythm, power... etc., were aspects that the master of the stop-and-pop jump shot, Jordan, simply couldn't overlook!

"Hmph!"

Jordan stomped heavily as he walked into the training court.

With such commotion, Zhang Hao naturally noticed.

After Zhang Hao executed a stop-and-pop shot and sent the ball flying, he politely greeted, "Long time no see, Mr. Jordan. Are you here to train too?"

Ignoring Zhang Hao, Jordan, before coming to the training court, had already warmed up in the gym. He grabbed a ball from the rack on the sidelines and went to one of the half-courts to start training on his own.

He was practicing, precisely the stop-and-pop jump shot!

The pace was very slow, as if polishing basic skills, but the fundamentals were already explosively good.

Jordan, after breaking through and shooting a stop-and-pop jump shot, could somehow sense whether it would go in just at the moment of release because after shooting, he'd land and immediately run out to catch the ball. Whether the shot went in or not, Jordan could catch the ball after at most just one bounce on the floor.

Time and time again, time and time again, Zhang Hao initially intended to just curiously see what Jordan was going to practice. As he watched, he became entranced…

Jordan had patience, persistence, and physical strength for days, spending an hour slowly training one skill, stubbornly without any changes in rhythm, incredibly stable!

Unknowingly, Zhang Hao entered that state of diligently memorizing, even taking out his glasses to wear.

After an hour passed, reaching 4 PM, Jordan concluded this segment of training, tossed the ball back on the rack, stopped firmly, said nothing, and directly left.

As he was about to leave for a break, Jordan suddenly remembered something...

"FUC…! I just taught that little punk again!"

...

On the other side, after watching Jordan's one-hour stop-and-pop jump shot teaching session, the system prompt appeared for Zhang Hao.

"While studying the Kobe Bryant version of the stop-and-pop jump shot technique, the host received Michael Jordan's stop-and-pop jump shot guidance. You can use 90 days of lifespan to add Michael Jordan's stop-and-pop jump shot learning materials and simulated training materials to the Basic Skills of the Jump Shot and stop-and-pop jump shot simulated training. Enable?"

Seeing the system prompt, Zhang Hao finally realized.

He unexpectedly learned another trick from Boss Qiao again!

Enable it!

Of course, it has to be enabled!

Spending 90 days of lifespan feels a bit painful, but making the stop-and-pop jump shot better, stronger, is there anything wrong with that?

"The host uses 90 days of lifespan to add Michael Jordan's stop-and-pop jump shot learning materials and simulated training materials to the Basic Skills of the Jump Shot and stop-and-pop jump shot simulated training… Congratulations to the host for fulfilling the requirement for collecting learning materials and simulated training materials of the Divine System Pull-up Jumper. When the host guides contracted players in stop-and-pop jump shot training, the players being guided will receive greatly enhanced understanding ability and muscle memory in this technical area.

Additionally, a special reward received: Training Enhancement Card for Level of Emergency Stop Jump Shot.

Training Enhancement Card for Level of Emergency Stop Jump Shot: The host can use it when guiding a contracted player learning the stop-and-pop jump shot. The contracted player receives extreme enhancement in understanding ability and muscle memory speed while learning the stop-and-pop jump shot, and after completing a set of 6-day training tasks, their stop-and-pop jump shot level will reach the passing line (60 stop-and-pop jump shot evaluation)."
