Chapter 175: Dancing with the Snake
In addition to Chinese fans, the group that is most concerned about Yao Ming's injury is undoubtedly the local fans and reporters in Houston. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They looked around for Yao Ming's figure and brought in all the people who were related to Yao Ming to inquire about the situation.
Wu Hua is a professional journalist, but he is also an out-and-out basketball fan. Yao Ming, the banner of Chinese basketball, was injured, and he was also very concerned. It's a pity that the task given to him above is to stare at Anjie's entire itinerary.
In fact, Wu Hua doesn't have to squat at all, An Jie will rest assured to tell Wu Hua about his itinerary every time. It's just that Wu Hua is not very familiar with Houston, so he set off early, ready to spend some time looking for the location of Olajuwon's training camp in the suburbs. Unexpectedly, this place is not difficult to find. After asking two or three people, he reached his destination.
In fact, Big Dream's training camp is not limited to Houston, but this summer, only in Houston, you can get the big dream in person.
According to Wu Huada, Olajuwon has accepted a total of two people into the training camp in Houston this summer, and these two people will be personally mentored by him.
An Jie is one of them, this Wu Hua knows, as for who the other guy who is favored by Da Meng, Wu Hua does not know.
In addition to Wu Hua, there were a few local reporters scattered at the gate of the training camp. Although Anjie's status is already the best rookie of the 08-09 season, his attraction is obviously not that great. And most of the people who come to Houston are coming for Yao Ming, and they don't care about a rookie's summer training at all.
Suddenly, a black stretch Mercedes sedan stopped at the entrance of the training camp. The few reporters immediately surrounded him, and Wu Hua was no exception.
"When did that kid change to this kind of car?" Wu Hua knew that An Jie was not such a high-profile person outside the court, and lengthened the Mercedes-Benz sedan, which was obviously not his style. Could it be that the one sitting in the car is another disciple of Da Mengcheng?
Thinking of this, Wu Hua became even more excited. When the suspense is revealed, everyone will look forward to it.
The cloudless weather made Wu Hua's eyes squint as the sun squinted, the door of the extended car opened, and a bald black man stepped down.
He wears a fancy shirt and beach pants, plain flip-flops, and a large pair of sunglasses.
"Hey, how are you?" this guy skillfully greeted the reporters, and when he saw this person's face, Wu Hua thought that he was stunned by the violent sun.
He rubbed his eyes and forced his eyelids open against the sun. That's right, the guy who came to Big Dream Training Camp was Kobe Bryant!
"Are you waiting? The best rookie should be coming soon. Kobe Bryant also greeted Wu Hua when he passed by Wu Hua's side, and walked into the training camp alone with his bag.
Wu Hua hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number edited on his head, jet lag? fuck the jet lag!
"Listen, wake up and doze off, we can't know about this matter before CCTV. In addition to An Jie, the second person who was personally guided by Da Meng was Kobe!"
The editor was still confused at first, but after hearing the word Kobe, he immediately came to his senses. Because no matter what the news, as long as it is glued with the word Kobe, it will attract much attention.
This season's championship winner, Finals MVP, All-Defensive First Team, All-Defensive First Team...... This season alone, Kobe Bryant has won all kinds of honors. This guy's popularity in China is probably much higher than that of An Jiedu.
However, this is such a guy, just a month after winning the championship, he rushed to Olajuwon training camp to continue to improve himself!
"In the entire NBA, he may be the only one who is more diligent than Anjie. Wu Hua shook his head, at least from the point of view of diligence, there is still some connection between Kobe and An Jie. Is this the selection criterion of Big Dream?
Ten minutes later, when An Jie appeared in front of the reporters in a taxi, the reporters were not as excited as they had been at the beginning. After all, the biggest dish has long been served in front of them.
"Ann, the people who trained with you this time have already gone in. Wu Hua went up like a friend and hugged An Jie's shoulder, no, these two were originally friends.
"Oh, the big dream told us to gather at two o'clock, and it's only half past one. Anyone else came earlier than me?" An Jie has always been the first to arrive at the training ground, and today was the first time he came to the Big Dream Training Camp, and this record was broken.
"Who is that person?" Thinking that he was going to spend nearly a month with Da Meng and the guy who had just entered, An Jie became curious.
"You'll know when you go in, and you won't be disappointed. ”
Under the leadership of the trainer, An Jie walked through layers of steps and finally came to the gate of the training ground. The conditions of the Big Dream Camp are very ordinary, and Houston has a lot more facilities than here. But what is taught here is why it's worth a half million dollars a year for training.
"This is it. The trainer turned to An Jie and smiled, pushing open the door of this indoor basketball court.
Anjie followed and stepped onto the court. There were only two people on the field who wore jerseys, except for the trainers who wore black short sleeves.
One is the "big dream" Olajuwon that An Jie has already seen, while the other guy's made An Jie stunned for a few seconds.
"Hello, Ann, why, you don't know me. Kobe Bryant smiled at An Jie casually, and An Jie still maintained a stunned expression.
A guard, why would he choose to participate in the big dream training camp? Kobe's low-post technology is already his big killer on the court, is there really room for improvement in such a guy's low-post ability?
An Jie didn't know that in fact, his own low-post skills were very perfect compared to most centers in this league.
"Let's go change our clothes, start training at two o'clock!" Olajuwon pointed to the locker room.
"Oh. An Jie was suddenly a little nervous, Kobe, big dreams. Really?Is it true that I'm going to train with these two legendary guys for almost a month!?
When Anjie changed into a jersey and stood in front of Kobe and Olajuwon, he was sure that he was not dreaming. Everything around you is real.
"Okay, I'll explain a few things before the training starts, so you don't get confused. Especially you, you must have a lot of questions in your mind. Olajuwon's words said what An Jie really thought in his heart.
"A lot of people are questioning my training camp because most of the players have very little effect after practice. All I say to you is that the reason why this is happening is because my footwork and singles skills are very demanding of players!" Olajuwon said with confidence, even when he had a player like Kobe Bryant standing in front of him.
"Comprehensive and solid basketball fundamentals and all-round offensive skills, these two things are the basis for learning my low-post skills! It's just that others insist on coming, and I can't refuse. ”
"So, that's why I decided to invite you. As for Bryant, with his ability, it only takes a week or two to get out of the camp. But how long it will take you is up to you. Olajuwon finished and picked up the basketball. "So let's get started!"
Big dreams don't teach the basics, and as soon as they come up, they will develop in a very deep direction. And most of the people who participated in his training camp did not even meet the basic standards. When such a guy enters the camp, even if he learns, he only learns the "type", but not the "god". Because of this, it is difficult for the Big Dream Training Camp to produce talents. One by one, rough brothers came up to learn the most complex low-level techniques, isn't this nonsense.
Although An Jie has not been in contact with formal basketball training for a long time, the time he started playing basketball is much longer than the big dream back then.
Although it is not formal, under the guidance of An Shiran's "semi-professional", An Jie, who has been playing since childhood, has still developed a solid foundation. Coupled with the correct guidance of Divac in college, Anjie's skills have been taken to a higher level.
With such a foundation, Olajuwon is full of confidence in shaping Anjie.
"Bryant, your shoulders are so stiff, you're shaking your shoulders for the sake of shaking your shoulders. The purpose of your shoulder shake is to confuse others, not to simply make movements!", Olajuwon reached out and fiddled with Kobe's pose.
"I'm going to demonstrate, Ann, you defend me from behind, just like you do in a real game. Watch my shoulder shake carefully, it's good for your defense later on. ”
An Jie honestly held Olajuwon's waist with his hand, Kobe Bryant's eyes were focused, this already successful guy is still so eager to learn.
With a slight push on his back, Da Meng began to shake his shoulders, not much, but every time it was the same as the real thing.
Double shoulder swing back jumper, seeing this action, An Jie finally knew the purpose of Kobe Bryant's coming to training camp.
An Jie was unresponsive by the rapid and realistic shaking of his shoulders by the big dream, and he swore that he was really serious about defending just now.
"Hmm. Kobe nodded thoughtfully and practiced on his own.
"Huh?" An Jie looked dazed, what could he see just now?
Maybe that's why Kobe Bryant was out of the camp in less than two weeks.
"Hahaha, don't worry, your level hasn't reached that level yet. Bryant, you practice with the trainer for a while, and I'll solve this kid's problem. Da Meng smiled and pulled An Jie aside, and then the class officially began.
Big Dream continues to demonstrate, and An Jie learns in a good way. He learns so fast that Big Dream's smile never stops.
"You've got really good centre-forward skills, and that guy from Divac has built you well. An Jie's learning ability made Olajuwon nod with satisfaction.
From the scorching sun to the setting sun, Anjie and Kobe Bryant were all soaked in the training camp. An Jie has gained a lot, although his low-level skills have been above many people before, but under the training of Da Meng, he actually feels that he still has a lot of room for improvement.
It started at two o'clock and didn't come out of training camp until seven o'clock in the evening.
"Where are you going to eat, are you familiar with Houston?" After the training, Kobe Bryant changed back to his casual dress and "tactfully" invited An Jie to dinner.
"I don't know the second Houston place name other than the Toyota Center. After getting along with Kobe Bryant for a day, An Jie is no longer restrained.
People say Kobe Bryant is difficult to get along with, and he is the reason why many players are reluctant to join the Lakers. However, in An Jie's opinion, Kobe Bryant does not have a strange temper.
Maybe only Anjie and Gasol, who are modest and gentle off the court, can get along happily with Kobe.
"What a coincidence, my driver used to be a Houston native. Let's go, you didn't drive anyway, I'll invite you this time. Watching the lengthened Mercedes slowly approach, Kobe Bryant intimately held An Jie's shoulder.
"Seriously, you almost won last time. While chatting, Anjie and Kobe Bryant got into the car and disappeared on the old road leading to the city.
In addition to rest, summer is also a golden time for players to improve themselves. The amount of time you're willing to spend on training will give you a lot of results next season.
To what extent can Anjie's low-level technology be built by Big Dream? )
