What happened in the next two days sounds pretty ridiculous.
Wang Yi stayed at Barnes' home and taught him to sing "In the Name of the Father".
I have to say that Barnes is quite talented in music.
In fact, it only took him more than two hours to figure out the melody.
Able to hum the song completely.
He could even play the song on the cello with ease.
The difficulty lies in Chinese.
He knows nothing about Chinese, and it is still difficult for him to learn it.
But after two days of studying, he also memorized all the lyrics.
It's just that his pronunciation is not standard enough.
"I'm sorry, you have already learned eight points of the image. Shouldn't it be time to follow me to find TT?"
Barnes shook his head repeatedly: "My pronunciation is not standard enough, Wang Yi, I have to make the Chinese pronunciation completely standard. This is respect for Jay."
Wang Yi shook his head: "No, no one can understand the lyrics of his songs anyway."
"Wang Yi, you are fooling me. Clear pronunciation is a basic skill for a singer. How can a singer be so popular if he can't even pronounce clearly?"
"Well, you don't understand Chinese well, I don't blame you."
Wang Yi sighed.
Then I searched various music critics' evaluations of Jay Chou on Baidu, and there was a translation software to translate them into English.
"See for yourself."
At the top is an evaluation of Jay Chou's early music.
What is his style of music?
What is his rhythm?
How is his prelude?
Then there is a sentence: His biggest strong point is that his pronunciation is not clear at all, and almost none of his songs have clear pronunciation. This is a taboo for singers. If he wants to become really popular, he must change his singing method.
At least people must be able to hear the lyrics clearly. Otherwise, if this continues, his songs will not be popular at all.
Then comes the mid-term evaluation.
Needless to say, the style and rhythm of the music and so on.
It is worth mentioning that the last comment on his pronunciation: I have to say that Jay Chou surprised me. As a professional singer, it is the most basic requirement for people to hear the lyrics clearly. When we were learning music at that time, if we could not sing clearly
Lyrics, music teacher will make us roll off the stage immediately.
But none of this holds true for him.
You can't hear his lyrics clearly at all, but they sound fascinating.
This has even evolved into a unique singing method, which only Jay Chou can master.
I advise those who want to embark on a musical career not to imitate his singing style.
Because, you are not Jay Chou.
…
When Barnes saw this, his eyes showed surprise.
Wang Yi looked at him with an expression of disbelief: "It's incredible that your country has such a unique singer."
Wang Yi shrugged: "Even when we Chinese people heard his song for the first time, we didn't know what he was singing if we didn't look at the lyrics. So do you believe me now? I'm not perfunctory with you. As long as
If you can imitate his tune correctly, that's the most important thing."
"But I still want to learn the lyrics."
"puff……"
Wang Yi almost vomited blood.
Why doesn't this guy get enough oil and salt?
"I'll stay at your house these days and teach you the lyrics, okay? But now, can we go find TT first?"
After hearing this, Barnes nodded: "Well, this is okay."
Wang Yi was overjoyed and quickly called TT Thompson.
As a result, I made 5 calls in a row but no one got through.
Wang Yi shook his head helplessly.
Isn't this TT Thompson causing trouble again?
This guy is a veteran and a problem player.
If we don't deal with him, he might upset the team and cause a lot of trouble, so there's no need to talk about winning.
The next day Wang Yi made several phone calls to TT.
But without exception, no one answered there.
In desperation, Wang Yi had to decide to put him aside first.
Let’s deal with the others first.
After taking out the player list and sifting through it for a long time, I finally decided that the next one I wanted to look for was the team's defender Buddy Hield.
Buddy Hield is 30 years old this year and in his prime.
Although Wang Yi has not had much contact with this player, he still likes him because he knows from the information that he works very hard.
And this guy is very down to earth.
The average player enters the draft after their first year in college.
After all, one year earlier you can enter the NBA and one year earlier you can make money.
But Buddy Hield just played in college for 4 years.
As a freshman, he shot only 22% from three-point range and averaged 7.8 points per game.
But he has to practice shooting for two hours after each game.
By his senior year, his three-point shooting percentage had increased to a terrifying 45%.
He averaged 25 points per game, and his defense has also improved qualitatively.
After entering the NBA, he continued the habit of practicing for two hours after the game.
Over the years in the NBA, his three-point shooting percentage has also reached 40%.
He is a very good shooter.
A shooter who works hard and has a high shooting percentage is very popular in every team.
Wang Yi pressed Hilde's number on his mobile phone.
I didn't get through the first three times, and it wasn't until the fourth call that I got through.
The voice from the other side was obviously panting: "Who?"
Wang Yi replied: "Wang Yi."
"What's up?"
The other end of the phone said while panting.
"I want to talk to you."
"What to talk about?"
Because his breathing was very heavy, what he said there was very brief.
At the same time, it could be heard from the receiver that there seemed to be some kind of rally going on over there, and the scene was very noisy.
"Talk about the team's plans for next season. I think we should start training now."
Wang Yi knew that this guy was a training madman, so he followed his lead and said directly.
"I'm already playing games."
The voice over there seemed a little disdainful.
I'm already playing games, so why are you talking about training?
When Wang Yi heard that there was a competition, he immediately became interested.
It has been almost two months since he played in the Western Conference Finals. He has had enough of such boring days.
"Where are you?"
Wang Yi asked.
"Rock Park, do you dare to come?"
Wang Yi was immediately overjoyed when he heard this: "Can I play the game when I come here?"
"Haha," Hilde's tone was a bit disdainful, "I'm afraid you don't dare to come."
"If you don't dare, I'll leave now. You wait for me."
Wang Yi stood up and geared up.
Rucker Park, the basketball mecca in the hearts of countless fans.
The highest level of the professional arena is the NBA.
The highest palace of street ball is Rucker Park.
Countless top streetball players have played on this court.
There are even more civilian children who went to the NBA from here - such as street ball king Alston and lone wolf Marbury.
The players here have no respect for NBA players at all.
In their view, NBA players are just lucky enough to enter the NBA.
Apart from the NBA, just playing basketball is not as good as their stupid big guys.
There used to be many NBA players who wanted to challenge here, but they were all humiliated in the end.
Even the great Dr. J, Julius Erving, once suffered the bitter fruit of failure here.
And in just the first half, they were scored 50 points by their opponent, the Destroyers.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar once said that it is difficult to compete with many NBA insiders. But the most difficult game he has ever experienced was in Rucker Park.
