NBA Tyrant

Chapter 10

Drinking a drink, Howard's mind was full of pictures of Olajuwon's attack just now, thinking about how to defend, Howard is paranoid about defense.

In the past, as a Chinese person, when someone scored a goal on the field, he would think about how to defend and even block and steal the opponent, especially by quickly and constantly adjusting the defensive means to achieve the goal.

And now, even if he is facing the league's former top center, a supergiant he has never played against before, Howard still doesn't want to admit defeat defensively, and still wants to suppress Olajuwon and win.

Howard reflects on how NBA teams have limited this kind of technical center with the ability to shoot.

Come to think of it, the best way is to increase the physical confrontation, make their offensive rhythm chaotic, consume their body, and thus affect their shots, and I will try to increase the confrontation next time I go head-to-head with Olajuwon.

"Come on, boy, start our lessons!" Olajuwon saw that Howard was almost rested, and planned to start guiding Howard in his dreamy steps.

"Big dream, I'll be able to guard against you next time!" got up and walked in front of Olajuwon, Howard looked at Olajuwon very seriously.

"Really, then we'll continue to fight each other tomorrow, and now follow my practice!" Olajuwon disagreed, if he was so good at defense, he would not be able to mix in the alliance for a long time.

Seeing Olajuwon's appearance, Howard didn't say much, this is the first time he has been scored five goals in a row by his opponent, and he has blown himself up, and it is normal for the opponent not to take his words to heart, after all, he is a loser.

Besides, the purpose of coming here is not to win heads-up, but to learn the dream steps.

"Come on, first of all, you need to control your center of gravity, like this," Olajuwon made a turn, his body as he turned outside the box, raising his hand to feint to shoot.

"If you have a steady center of gravity, you can make moves smoothly and deceive your opponent with feints, and if your center of gravity is unstable," Olajuwon said, returning to his waist position and making another turn.

This time he stumbled after turning around, raising his hand very slowly, and his movements were not as smooth as the first time.

"So, boy, do you see that?"

"Yes, only by keeping your center of gravity, making movements, and changing your rhythm can you be smooth, so as to achieve the opportunity to deceive your opponent and get open scores.

Howard nodded, he had just experienced Olajuwon's dreamy footsteps, and now he had a new experience when he watched from the sidelines.

"Very good! So let's try it. Olajuwon handed the ball to Howard and stepped aside.

Howard thinks back to Olajuwon's action just now, holding the ball in the waist basket, dribbling to the right, turning, raising his hand, and finishing.

"Yes, turn around at a bigger pace, it's good for your opponent to move with you, and when you raise your hand, there's a good chance he'll jump subconsciously, and then you pull back your body, like this.

Olajuwon turned again, his pace was much higher than Howard's, he raised his hand and shook it, quickly pulled his body back, hooked his hand to shoot, and the ball went in, all in one go.

Howard couldn't help but applaud that Olajuwon had perfected his steps, and the whole set of movements was as smooth as playing a video that never stuttered, which was a muscle memory that had long been formed.

"It's your turn, come on!" Holding

the ball again, Howard looked ahead, his body suddenly took a step to the right dribble, turned around, this time deliberately took some big steps, and turned quickly, Howard obviously felt a little unstable in his center of gravity, and the movement of raising his hand was a little slow, the action was stuck, and he did not complete the final shot.

"It's okay, practice a few more times, pay attention to the center of gravity, and you will become coherent when you get used to it.

Olajuwon clapped his hands and encouraged Howard.

Howard nodded, took the ball again to the waist position, made a tentative step, pretended to break through on the right side again, and then quickly turned, raised his hand, pulled back his body, and hooked his hand to hit.

"Beautiful, very good! Boy, you're a fast learner!" Olajuwon clapped his hands at Howard happily.

"Haha, it's a big dream, you taught it well!" Howard was also a little excited in his heart, it felt really good to have just completed the attack with his feet.

"Then the next step is to be proficient in this movement, form muscle memory as soon as possible, and tomorrow I will arrange the training according to your practice!"

Howard nodded to show that he understood, any kind of move can only be used as a famous stunt after a thousand tempers, and he is proud of the NBA league, just like Kobe's back-to-back singles and picturesque jump shots, all of which Kobe Bryant practiced hard.

In the evening, head coach Johnny called and told Howard the results of his communication with management, Howard was not surprised, since he couldn't change it, then do his best and change the team and his destiny through himself.

Agent Pelinka also replied to the message, saying that Kobe Bryant couldn't walk away, but he arranged for an assistant to come over and help him, and contact him at any time if there is anything.

In this way, in Houston, Howard soaked in the training gym day after day, practicing the fantasy footwork and hook hand he had just learned, and as he became proficient in fantasy footwork, Howard also developed the ability to carry the ball in the singles in the middle distance.

The time came to August 30th, today was the last day of training camp, and Howard stood in the middle of the field, looking at the tall middle-aged man in front of him, and his mind was spinning.

From the beginning of July to the end of August, nearly two months of training, under the influence of Olajuwon and daily life, Howard also revealed a little momentum and was intimidating.

And the lively transfer market has basically calmed down.

The main big fish have all been determined.

On July 15, Nash went to the Suns for 5 years and 65 million, and Phoenix ushered in the Children of the Wind, which swept the league in the future with Coach D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics.

On July 15, O'Neal joined the Heat, who sent Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, a first-round pick and a second-round pick.

On July 16, the young Kobe Bryant and the Lakers completed the extension, and Kobe's contract extension was as high as 7 years and 136 million, shocking the whole league.

Maybe from the perspective of the future, I think it's nothing, but you must know that the salary cap of the NBA team in the 04-05 season is only 43.87 million US dollars, and Kobe's annual salary of nearly 20 million basically occupies half of the team's salary space, which is easy to lock the Lakers' lineup, and I have to say that the Lakers owner is full of courage.

Of course, the future Lakers have no loss at all, and the value that Kobe Bryant brings to the Lakers is far more than the 136 million.

Ginobili and the Spurs renewed their contracts for 6 years and 52 million, the future bald demon knife still stays with the Spurs, and the GDP combination is about to win the first championship of the three in the new season.

"Kidney" fighter Alonzo Moning, who was taken over by the gods, joined the Miami Heat, and will win the championship with Flash Wade and O'Neal in '06.

Zero-Sum information flashed through his mind, and Howard shook his head and pulled back his thoughts.

"Big dream, the last heads-up, I'll go back to Orlando tomorrow, the old rules, five balls.

Howard confidently stretched out five fingers, as early as half a month ago, Howard was already proficient in the dream footwork, and won more and lost in the heads-up with Olajuwon.

"Okay, boy, I'm going to have a good fight with you today, and see how well your training has been going on over this time, come on!"

Olajuwon spread his arms and waited for Howard's attack.

"I'm going to let you take a good look at my true strength today, Big Dream!" Howard dribbled, and with two simple crotches in a row, he observed Olajuwon's defensive position.

Dribbling with his left hand, he forced Olajuwon, saw that he drove Olajuwon's center of gravity, immediately pulled back, changed direction to his right hand, and raised his hand to shoot.

Seeing that Olajuwon did not jump to interfere, Howard jumped directly and threw the ball, and the basketball fell into the Nets in a beautiful arc.

Fiction is real, reality is virtual. Howard did not rigidly follow the dream pace to do the turning action, but according to the reaction of the defender, if the opponent defended up, he used the quick turn to switch to the left hand side to attack.

If you don't follow closely and defend, you can jump and shoot directly. On the basketball court, all the moves learned by itself are not rigid in the game, but according to the position of the defender, the defensive situation, through technical actions or strong attacks, to seek a good time to shoot, so as to score goals.

"Good shot! This ball is very well chosen, and the timing is very good!" Olajuwon did not hesitate to praise himself, just with his familiarity with the dream footsteps, he thought that Howard would turn around and look for an opportunity, so he did not go up to interfere.

And Howard is also very flexible and not rigid, instantly seizing the defensive hole, and jumping directly to complete the shot.

"Hey, 1:0!" Compared

with 2 months ago, Howard feels that he now has a good offensive ability to hold the ball under the interference of the position, and he is no longer the person who took the ball before, had no offensive grasp under interference, and could only shoot a strong shot.

After 2 months of boring training, unpalatable training meals, and blocked outside information, Howard shouted silently in his heart: Do you know how I spent these two months?

"Cut, boy, only scored one goal, it's still early! I'm sure I'll kill you next, come on!" Olajuwon was very unhappy to see Howard's face full of confidence, as if he was sure of himself.

"Come on, this time I'm going to convince you of losing!" Howard

leaned on Olajuwon's back, of course, not to fight with his back, the two had agreed earlier not to use this muscular hand-to-hand combat in heads-up.

Howard leaned down slightly, glanced at Olajuwon's defensive position, and saw that Olajuwon was defending his right side, and the left side was a little empty.

It seems that Olajuwon judged that he would finish the final shot from the right with fantastic footwork.

Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who is rigid, and for me, where there is an opportunity, I naturally have to seize it to complete the score.

Without hesitation, Howard turned extremely fast and slipped from the baseline to the basket, and his movements were completely different from the big turn two months ago.

But Howard didn't expect that his quick turn did not get rid of Olajuwon, but Olajuwon leaned on him from the side.

Originally, Howard planned to turn past Olajuwon and rush to the penalty area to complete a violent dunk, but now he is pressed on the bottom line, and if he jumps, he will definitely be interfered with.

Howard's mind flashed various plans in an instant, and his body had already reacted, quickly raising the basketball with both hands, trying to trick Olajuwon into jumping, but seeing that Olajuwon not only did not jump, but pressed against his body.

At this time, Howard was standing in the restricted area, the bottom left of the basket, and now he had collected the ball, and the pivot foot was his left foot, seeing that he had not deceived Olajuwon.

Howard hurriedly pulled back his body, couldn't be locked under the basket by Olajuwon, leaned on the pivot foot, quickly turned around, and hooked his right hand.

Olajuwon still hasn't jumped, and he's still sticking to Howard and not leaving a gap for Howard.

Howard didn't make a move, and his right hook was just a feint, and he turned around again against Olajuwon, jumped, and raised the basketball in his hand, as if he was going to score with a strong shot.

Olajuwon did not hesitate, and when he saw Howard jumping, he immediately jumped up, raising his hands high and preparing to block.

After Howard jumped, he used the air to let himself on the left side of the basket float under the basket, exert force in his waist and abdomen, withdraw his hands holding the ball, dodge Olajuwon's block, and complete a layup with a backhand from the right side of the basket.

Seeing the ball go in, Howard jumped up happily.

"Yo roar! Score! Second goal, you old fox, you deliberately left a gap on your right side, dig a hole for me

to break through to your right!" Recalling Olajuwon's position just now, Howard affirmed that Olajuwon deliberately set a trap to let himself break through to the left bottom line, so that he thought he had a chance to break through, damn, thinking of this, Howard pointed at Olajuwon with both hands, with a look of disdain.

"Hey, hey, the boy is smart now!Unfortunately, I didn't guard it down, and I finally let you in!" Olajuwon spread his hands indifferently.

"It's so insidious!"

"Haha, whether it's a game or a heads-up, the offensive and defensive sides are constantly calculating each other, which is nothing, but I have to say that your adaptability is really good, and you even thought of using the air to make a rebound."

Olajuwon appreciated Howard's response and choice of final offense.

"Haha!" Speaking of this goal, Howard was also very proud, and in a flash of inspiration, he made an offensive choice to go on a rebound to avoid Olajuwon's defense, which was indeed a beautiful goal.

"Third ball, are you ready?" Howard was getting more and more excited right now.

"Come on!"

this time, Howard was still approaching Olajuwon head-on, and when he got closer, Howard strode to the right as if to break through, and Olajuwon followed.

Howard returns the ball, turns his back, shakes his shoulders sharply, sends his right foot to the left, and lifts the ball to make a backward jumper.

Olajuwon couldn't tell if Howard was a feint, so he could only raise his center of gravity and raise his hand to interfere.

Seeing Olajuwon step forward, Howard immediately lowered his body, strode towards the penalty area, blocked Olajuwon on the right side with his body, and made a layup with a low hand with his left hand, and the ball went in.

"It's a very good use of footwork, even I can't tell if it's a feint or a real shot, compared to when you first came with the ball in the middle distance," Olajuwon shook his head, quite emotional.

"Now you, with a variety of offensive means with the ball, and confident, Howard, congratulations, you have completed a big transformation, it seems that I can't stop you!" "

In the new season, other teams in the league are afraid that they will have a headache, there are strong players under the basket, mid-to-long-range shooting, offensive ability with the ball, physical talent and explosion, a combination of O'Neal and Big Dream, well, yes, learned my skills, of course, there is my mold.

Such an existence, if it is matched with the right lineup, what is the championship and other teams.

"There are still 2 balls

!" "Don't play, don't play, I don't want to continue to be abused by you, take a break, you also pack up, and get ready to go back to your Orlando!" "

Alas, if this kid and Da Yao form an inside twin tower in the Rockets, I'm afraid they can directly announce the ownership of the championship, the finale of the league!
