Chapter 121: Transactions

Shortly after the draft, the '04-05 Summer League kicked off. Just like Chamberlain last year, many young people began to pursue their dreams on the stage where not many people paid attention.www.biquge.info

At the same time, the noisy NBA transfer market has also kicked off!

On July 15, 2004, Steve Nash, the tactical soul of the Suns, began his most glorious journey with the Mavericks to Phoenix, offering him a five-year, $65 million contract.

The Toronto Raptors have signed Heat free agent guard Alston to a five-year, roughly $28 million contract.

The Orlando Magic signed Spurs free agent small forward Turkoglou to a six-year, $38 million contract..... In order to renew Parker's contract, the Spurs also fought hard......

The Jazz signed a letter of intent to the Cavaliers' restricted free agent power forward Boozer on a six-year, $68 million contract.

SuperSonic's website also announced the news of Chamberlain's joining.

But all of that wasn't the point, as the chaotic Lakers finally made their choice: the Lakers traded center O'Neal for the Heat's forward Odom, Caron Butler, center Grant and a future first-round pick!

On July 16, the Los Angeles Lakers signed Kobe Bryant to a seven-year, $136 million contract!

The Troika of the Nets has been dismantled, and the New Jersey Nets have signed and then traded for power forward Kenyon Martin (7 years, $90 million) for three future first-round picks for the Nuggets!

On July 7 and 17, the Denver Nuggets signed a six-year, $65 million contract extension with center Camby.....

Chamberlain was not distracted by these distractions, he was not the boss of a team, and he could not influence the decision-making of the team management! and he had no time to be separated by the nutrients provided by Olajuwon, he studied tirelessly like a true beginner.

"I'm attacking, Michael. ”

At Olajuwon's home, Chamberlain reminded Michael O'Rowokandi, who was defending him, that Chamberlain had completed his unmarked training and was moving on to the next stage of defensive training!

During training, in order to achieve better training results, Chamberlain did not use skills, which made him feel the gap between himself and the NBA's regular players! At the same time, it also made him be chased by so many teams, and some fluttering hearts slowly precipitated!

"Come on, I hope you can get rid of me this time! I don't understand why you're playing so well in the playoffs!"

Michael Olovocandi, of course, won't understand that Chamberlain, in the playoffs, got rid of the defenders and used faster pace than most centers and dribbled better than them. Just like Garnett, Chamberlain used a breakthrough technique that was closer to that of a small forward!

Michael Olovocandi's chest pressed against Chamberlain's back again, and Chamberlain spread his hands to receive Olajuwon's pass. He leaned his left foot to the left and quickly pulled back, his right foot swayed, and then he moved his left foot and turned at the same time..... He was greeted by Michael Olovo Candi's honest smirk!

"Zhang, your movements are too blunt and too complicated. Your speed is excellent, if you can skillfully simplify your movements, like just now, when you reach out with your left foot and pull back, you turn quickly, Michael can't stop you, he's out of position!"

Olajuwon, who was next to him, shouted to stop training and correct Chamberlain's movements just now!

This is actually the so-called grasp of the timing of the attack, compared to those basic action essentials, these are the most difficult, because these things are completely out of consciousness and experience when choosing.

"When you go to defend Michael, you take it and see how he does it. ”

I have to say that Olajuwon is a good teacher, he patiently corrected Chamberlain's movements, and reminded him of the essentials that he should pay attention to all along, in order to deepen Chamberlain's memory, he signaled the two men to switch offense and defense.

Back on the basketball court, Chamberlain stood behind Olovocandi, following Professor Olajuwon's standard movements, bending his knees, keeping the angle between his thighs and the ground as much as possible between 0 and 30 degrees (that is, the center of gravity is lowered), his feet slightly wider than his shoulders, his upper body slightly forward, his arms open, palms facing each other, one arm slightly higher to interfere with the opponent's passing, and the other arm slightly lower to interfere with the opponent's ball control.

Seeing that Chamberlain was ready, Olajuwon passed the ball out.

Olovocandi began to move to the right after receiving the ball, and Chamberlain, who was engrossed in his movements, used a sliding step to follow up and move to the right. At this time, Olowo Candi's shoulder shook to the left, and Chamberlain quickly pulled his center of gravity to the left, only to see that Olovo Candi had already turned and made a jumper.

"See, Zhang, attacking is not a one-man thing, it needs to cooperate, you have to learn to cooperate with your opponent. Keep an eye on your opponent, keep that in mind, and okay, you try again. Chamberlain reflected on what Olovo Candy had just done, listened to Olajuwon's explanation, took the basketball in his hand, and once again turned his back to Olo Cannon and started the offense.

"It's not the fastest is the best, pay attention to the rhythm!"

"Don't watch basketball too often, it's there, you need to watch your opponent, you need to see his defensive options!"

"Okay, this defense is good, but you have to remember your own characteristics, you are not suitable for this kind of defense, there are too many players here who have the same strong body as Olovocandi!"

"Rhythm, rhythm, your rhythm, opponent's rhythm! yes, that's it, shake off his center of gravity and throw the basketball out!"

"Take your eyes off the basketball and focus on feeling the changes in the opponent's body......"

When Chamberlain, who had failed countless times, stood in front of Olowocandi again, he quietly recalled the actions of Olajuwon and Olovocandi, and then opened his hand to ask for the ball!

Probing left, probing right, retreating, shaking shoulders, turning around, this time Chamberlain seemed to enter a strange rhythm, everything was so natural and harmonious.

Rubbing Olovo Candi, who was almost shaken to the ground by him, Chamberlain finally stepped into the inside line for the first time, and at the same time bent his left hand, like a sharp moon scimitar, "swished" out of the sheath, stirring up the rolling waves of the Nets!

"Ding!"
