Chapter 117: Olajuwon's Center Teaching

After breakfast, Yao Ming drove Rina back to his home before taking Chamberlain to find Olajuwon!

Olajuwon in 04 was not as busy as he was later, and he didn't open a training camp for adults, because Yao Ming greeted him early, and when the two of them came, he was already waiting at home!

Olajuwon has actually been working hard to find his successor in recent years, and how committed this dedication is, it can be seen from the identity of the person he teaches - that is a champion - Michael Olovocandi, the parallel center of the Timberwolves in 04!

When Yao Ming, who had only met him at an event in the Rockets, asked him if it was possible to teach a rookie, the identity of the rookie that was about to come out made him agree in one bite!

41 years old is the golden age of a person, and the retired Olajuwon is also in good health, which makes him not much different from the pictures of his youth that Chamberlain searched for from the computer!

"Congratulations on your championship, you've done really well and like Yao, you all have the potential to be top stars. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Waiting for Chamberlain and Yao Ming to sit down, Olajuwon opened the topic!

Knowing that the protagonist was Chamberlain, all Yao Ming didn't speak, he just smiled politely!

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Olajuwon, I still have a long way to go to get there. ”

During this time in the United States, Chamberlain had already understood the way they communicated, and all the praise for Olajuwon, Chamberlain was not overly modest!

"Didn't Yao return to China? Your country's basketball training camp should be about to start, right?"

Than snubbing any guest, it is a necessary way of hospitality as a host, and after exchanging a word with Chamberlain, Olajuwon shifted the topic to Yao Ming!

"I'm here to cheer Chamberlain, I'll be back home soon, how is Hakim doing lately?"

"Haha, it's a lot easier than playing. ”

Olajuwon said with a hearty laugh. This legendary center, after retiring, began to do venture capital, and every year at this time of the NBA offseason, he comes to live in Houston for a while!

"Hakim, don't you feel like you're similar when you see Aaron?"

For the sake of his fellow countrymen, Yao Ming can be said to be dedicated, and just after chatting with Olajuwon, he shifted the topic to Chamberlain!

"Yes, it's very similar, I've been following Zhang for a long time, and I already guessed it was him when you told me about it, you have to know that I didn't think about it at the time and agreed. ”

"I've been learning from the videos of your competitions, but I can't always be as beautiful as you, I think I must have found the skills yet, so I asked Brother Yao to bring me to you and ask you for advice. ”

Finally turning the topic to this, Chamberlain couldn't wait to say what he meant!

But before Olajuwon could answer, the doorbell rang "Didi": "Wait a minute, I think it's Michael here." ”

"Michael?"

In the hearts of the Chinese, there is only one person with this name, and Chamberlain aimed his doubtful eyes at Yao Ming, hoping to get an answer!

"Michael Olovokandi, champion of '98, a native of Nigeria, a native of Hakim. ”

While Yao Ming was explaining to Chamberlain, Olajuwon returned, followed by Michael Orowokandi, whom Chamberlain had briefly confronted in the Western Conference Finals!

"I think you all know each other, so I won't introduce you too much. ”

Olajuwon came to Yao Ming and Chamberlain, who were standing up, and pointed to Michael Olovocandi behind him and said!

After Olajuwon finished speaking and the three politely greeted each other, Olajuwon finally said what Chamberlain was expecting: "Then please follow me to the training ground"!

Every time he went to meet a superstar like Olajuwon and David Robbins, Chamberlain felt like a believer's pilgrimage, and even more sincere, because he knew that the help given to him by these people was real compared to the nothingness of the gods!

Olajuwon's training hall is much bigger than Yao Ming's, and the facilities are also complete, and it is much more valuable! In his changing room, including Yao Ming, all four of them have changed into jerseys. Because he has decided not to return to the Spurs, Chamberlain wears the same red No. 11 of the Rockets as Yao Ming, and Olajuwon wears the No. 34 of the Rockets, so that Michael Olovocandi, who wears the Timberwolves uniform, has a much more distinct personality!

"Now that you're here, I think you're all with a heart that wants to get stronger, and you want to learn my footsteps! But what I want to say is that you're wrong, it's just an extension of the basic movements, and when you practice the basics, you'll find that it's not as difficult as you imagined. ”

Standing in the basketball hall, Olajuwon became serious, and he was like two people just now!

"Now a lot of players are ignoring the basics, ignoring the importance of the basics, and they're putting more effort into slam dunks, on flashy passes. Yes, I don't deny that it was very ornamental, but they don't have a lot of achievements, people always have a lot of strength. At the end of a fierce game, it is often these basics that are usually overlooked to help the team!"

"I don't know what your base is, but I don't think you will, I'll repeat what you probably all know. ”

"The center forward is the central figure of a team, whether it is offensive or defensive, they are the pivot of the team, hence the name center forward. As the 'optimus prime' in the penalty area, grabbing rebounds is an indispensable ability for a center. In addition, blocking and blocking are also essential abilities for centers. Since the team is often in the pivotal position in the center of the penalty area when attacking, the center forward should have a good ability to guide the ball, and can send the ball to a more suitable position to assist teammates to score. The above three are the basic skills that a center should have. ”

"Regarding the skills of the center, the footwork is the basis of all movements, and in the basic training of the center, the main thing is the footwork. On the basketball court, it is not only the competition for height, but also the competition for position, so foot movement is one of the important skills that the center must master. ”

"There are many kinds of footwork in the center position, such as forward turn, back turn, side step, etc. The training includes: basic footwork training; decomposition training, learning techniques in the process of no confrontation; consciously supporting Jackie Chan in the process of learning techniques, and becoming coherent; learning to apply techniques in confrontation after mastering the movements; repairing technical deficiencies and strengthening training to make them accustomed to nature. In the training, the footwork is accurate, the center of gravity shifts rapidly, and the footwork changes are reasonable. ”

Olajuwon said as he demonstrated his movements!

"These are the training of the foot, and the next thing I want to talk about is the training of grabbing and receiving the ball"!

"The receiving technique of a modern basketball center is the most important offensive skill of a center, which is not only a prerequisite for the center's shooting and assisting, but also a comprehensive embodiment of the center's individual offensive ability. The center's receiving technique is a strong confrontation combination technique with 'position-grabbing' as the core and attacking as the purpose. ”

"To do this kind of training, we should pay attention to: 1, improve the ability of the center to accurately grasp the starting time; the movement of the center is mainly to match with the time of passing the ball to the peripheral players, requiring people to the ball, the ball to the people, and strive to get rid of the defense to the empty position when the man and the ball meet. ”

"2. Improve the ability of the center to accurately choose the position: The success of the inside and outside pass and receive the ball is directly related to the position obtained by the center. It is an important part of the training for the center forwards to make the best pass angle with their own outside players with a series of sliding steps and turns. ”

"3. Receiving techniques and abilities: master the skills of catching the ball with both hands, hitting the ground, boccia, hanging the ball and holding the ball with one hand, and improve the ability to catch the ball in the fast march in the strong confrontation. So do one-on-one catch practice. You can also practice one-on-two, using two people in the back and in the center to defend to increase the difficulty of catching the ball. In the training of cooperation, you can also arrange the players with poor passing ability of the team to supply the ball to improve the practice of receiving the ball".....
