Chapter 56 Luke; Langley's
[Please collect, please recommend, your collection and recommendation are my greatest motivation for hard work]
Any player must attack if he wants to be great, because this is an offensive league. No matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to rely solely on it to become a superstar. Even Dibeken Mutombo, who is known for his defense, averaged 16.6 points per game in his first season in the NBA. As for Bill Russell, he averaged as high as 22 points at his peak, and even his career average score of 17 points. Only offense can become great. If he is labeled as a defensive champion, he will find it difficult to make any progress. [.]
If a center wants to make a difference in offense, he must go through a lot of practical training. It is almost impossible to practice low-post offense by just practicing his footsteps by himself, because the defensive intensity faced by the current low-post offense is definitely not something that can be achieved in normal training. At least there is no defensive defence in normal training, no shark-cutting tactics, and no so-called small moves. In actual combat, these are what a super center must face. In other words, the low-post offense of the great center is fed one ball on the field on the field. Only after experiencing various defenses can you know how to crack it, especially when the joint defense is now banned.
Regardless of the reason, Michael Jordan obviously didn't want me to be synonymous with the defensive champion, so he invited his former teammate Luke Longley, a big center with 3 championship rings, just to serve as a sparring player for me.
Luke Longley, a Victoria Melbourne, Australia, is 218 cm tall and plays as a center. In 1991, after graduating from university, he participated in the NBA draft that year and was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 7th pick in the first round. He was then exchanged for the Chicago Bulls late in the 1993-1994 season. Although a center is not as powerful as a traditional team in the Bulls' offensive system, his fighting spirit and enthusiasm are still impressive. Showing his value and winning the trust of his teammates is an important piece for the Bulls' second three-game winning streak (1996-1998). Although there is no excellent data on scoring and rebounding, he has several trucks of experience in controlling the opponent's scoring. He retired last year due to an ankle injury, but now his ankle injury has fully recovered and his physical condition is very rich. Jordan assigned him the task is to use all means to stop my scoring on the defensive end.
Gary Fox kept fiddling with the latest digital camera, filming every move of Luke Longley when I was singled on my back. Steve Kate kept directing my movements with a coaching stick. Luke Longley behind me used his height and weight to constantly put pressure on me. I was forbidden to use my strength, and I could only use my footsteps to solve the battle, and Luke Longley could use any technology.
"The left foot is the axis. Don't move the toes, just walk!"
"Sway to the right first, the amplitude should be large, and to attract the opponent's attention, you must shake it!"
"You're shaking, you're shaking ants! Only ants can feel your magnitude! You won't step your right foot hard to move your right foot."
"How many degrees have you turned? Are you 90 degrees? Are you going to shoot in the stands? Pay attention to it is 180 degrees! 180 degrees!"
"Winning back, you have shaken his center of gravity, he blocks you, you can turn back 360 degrees, you can shake him away! Turn back!"
"Don't move your left foot, just move and walk! Never move!"
"He was shaking and jumping up, you rushed in! He could no longer guard against you!"
"I have said it many times. I can't move my left toe. What do you want to do? I can't move!"
I was doing singles with my back and forth, and Steve Kate kept shouting at me for technical mistakes. Luke Brown was just trying to defend her hard behind me, constantly trying to stop me with various means. But after 60 minutes, he began to gradually disappear.
"Suspend! Suspend! I'll drink some water!" Luke Longley suddenly shouted!
Luke Longley picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a few sips, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat, and said to me: "Kaomei, you have been practicing this movement so monotonously for more than an hour. Don't you feel boring?"
dull?
To be honest, I really haven't felt bored yet. I just hope that through my own high-intensity practice, I can master low-level offensive skills as soon as possible. Maybe it's because this is too important to me and I'm too committed, so I don't feel any boredom at all.
Seeing me shook my head, Luke Langley asked in surprise: "Did you train like this before?"
"Yes! I used to train like this!" I was a little confused.
"Oh my God! Don't you rest in the middle? Keep training?" Luke Langley widened his eyes, his voice raised a lot, and he asked in surprise.
"Stay rest, I'll take a break later!" I said.
"How often do you take a break?"
"This depends on the amount of exercise. If the amount of exercise is not large, take a rest for about 100 minutes!" I replied.
Luke Brown covered his forehead with one hand and was in pain. He didn't know whether he felt pain for his future destiny or for me.
"Kaome! I tell you, Michael is squeezing you. You can't train like this. He is irresponsible to you. You will be trained like this! You can't continue like this. I tell you, this training method is very unscientific..." Luke Brown began to talk and persuade.
"Thank you! Luke! But you have to know that I am 19 years old, and now is the last period of the best technical growth. If I don't use a lot of training to make the technology take shape, I may be the life of a defensive center in my life. I need to seize the last period of the best technical growth." I replied slowly.
"Kaome! You can't do this. You have to know that the center is not a guard. The center is usually late for great success. Few centers can be OK before the age of 25. You are already good. You have to know that many players are overtraining..."
"Luke! What are you doing?" A very stern voice appeared.
"I'm! Michael, hello, nothing is wrong. I'm just teaching Kwame a little personal experience. Do you think so, Kwame!" Michael Jordan's appearance immediately changed Luke Brown's expression. He put one hand on my neck and said with a smile that was completely opposite to what he had just said.
"Is that so? Why do I feel like you didn't say that just now!" Michael Jordan looked unhappy.
"Ahhh! That's it, Michael, you know, I'm already very old and have poor physical fitness. If it takes too long, I'm afraid I can't keep up with Kwame's rhythm. I think I need a helper. Yes, I'm recommending my helper to Kwame! Yes, I recommend a helper!" Luke Langley broke down and refused to mention the indulgence he had just allowed me to reduce the intensity of his training.
"Help, who are you introducing?" Michael Jordan looked curious.
"Dennis Rodman!" Luke Brown said with a serious look on his face, as if he had said that very early.
"Dennis Rodman! Why?" Michael Jordan looked thoughtful, as if he was considering this candidate.
"Because Dennis Rodman has very good physical fitness and very good defensive skills, and can almost defend all the inside players. I think Dennis Rodman can give Kwame Brown a great help and is the best candidate for sparring, absolutely the best, no one." Luke Brown began to promote Dennis Rodman, which is definitely a dead fellow Taoist.
"Hmm! I'll think about it, by the way, isn't Dennis Rodman in NBDL lately? Does he have time?"
"He gives 10,000 US dollars a game there, and he can't play a few games a year. If you give him 100,000, he will definitely run here!" Luke Langli looked wretched.
"Okay! I'll think about it! Keep practicing! Kwame, practice well, don't slack off!" Michael Jordan turned around and walked towards the office!
If he turned around suddenly, he would probably be mad by the current Luke Brown, who was making faces in front of Michael Jordan's back.
