To move a ball by repeated light bounces a.k.a. daily stuff

According to “Prasini” newspaper (owned by Panathinaikos’ owner), Guo Ailun is about to become the first Chinese player who will play in Euroleague. The Greens’ negotiations with the 18-year old shooting guard (last season he played for Liaoning Dinosaurs at CBA and in 30 games he had 8.6 points, 2 rebounds and 3.2 assists, in 21 minutes per game), seems to be at their final stage and they were first reported by encestando.es.
Now let’s see what his father had to say about this transfer. He talked to sports.sohu.com, about his son’s possible move to Panathinaikos and he said: “Europe might be more suitable to my son’s abilities, since he can play defense and he know how to run in offense, but his team at the CBA needs him, right now. Maybe after 2-3 years, if the opportunity arises, he will go to Europe, to learn more about his game and to prove who he is. But next season he will play for Liaoning Dinosaurs, cause he is not ready yet for Europe”.
Guo Ailun is the nephew of Liaoning ex-head coach, Guo Shiqiang, who played point guard for the Chinese National Team from 1999 to 2005.

[...] Meanwhile, Liaoning has moved to try and downplay the situation in the media. On Monday, the Liaoning Evening Post, citing a team source, reported that although Guo has discussed playing in Europe with team officials, there has been no formal contact between Liaoning and any European team or agent up to this point. And Liaoning head coach, Wu Qinglong, said he feels that the 18 year-old Guo is still too young to play in Europe and that he likely won’t see enough on-court minutes to really improve. China, where he’ll get plenty of playing time, is still the best place for him to develop. Guo’s father has also been quoted saying similar sentiments. [...]
