Chapter 11: Big Dream Training Camp (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On September 7th, the hot weather in Houston was a little unbearable, and it was extremely uncomfortable to practice in an air-conditioned arena on this day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
An Xi was practicing at the moment, and there was still the sound of LeBron James's heavy breathing in his ears, as well as the shouts of Hajim Olajuwon not far away, his body was full of muddy sweat, and the footsteps under his feet still did not stop.
With a snap, Anxi dribbled the ball violently, then turned around and hooked his hand to the basket......
Bang, the basketball bounced twice on the basket before it barely got into the basket.
"Ann, your turn is too fast, LeBron hasn't been completely shaken away by you!" Hajim Olajuwon immediately commented on this goal, which was not harsh, but Anxi knew that this was Olajuwon, he always taught you how to do it so calmly, this kind of training, Anxi felt very comfortable.
What's more comfortable is that he didn't expect to meet LeBron James in the big dream training camp, which made him test his training in actual combat.
LeBron James also came to Hajim Olajuwon to train back body skills and low post skills, in the finals, Anxi's invincible back body singles made LeBron James have this idea, he felt that he should continue to strengthen his back, so LeBron James found Olajuwon again, he came once in the previous offseason, that was after losing to the Mavericks.
This time, LeBron James didn't expect him to meet An Xi at the Big Dream Training Camp, but on the first day he came, An Xi's training at the Big Dream Training Camp had already come to an end.
So, naturally, LeBron James and Anxi each regarded each other as sparring partners, especially LeBron James, he didn't think Anxi was qualified to let him be a sparring partner, but Anxi was more than enough to be his sparring partner.
But when the duel between the two really began, LeBron James realized that he was wrong.
Anxi's back-to-back technique could have exploded him a long time ago, and after practicing low-post skills for two weeks in the big dream training camp, Anxi's low-post skills have already made an improvement, and that progress directly made Anxi's low-level growth to 70, plus the back-to-back technology grew to 80, in the face of LeBron James, Anxi naturally used all his strength and abused James fiercely.
And today is the third day that Anxi and LeBron James have been sparring with each other, and Anxi will leave the big dream training camp on September 8, so this heads-up should be the last heads-up between the two.
LeBron James clapped his hands hard and shouted, "Come on, it's my turn!"
LeBron James took an offensive stance and took the basketball from Anxi.
After a sprint, LeBron James came to the low post, turned his back to Anxi, and slammed Anxi back half a step. I have to say that LeBron James still has a physical advantage, and this time, it directly made An Xi a little deflated.
James saw An Xi take half a step back, he felt that the opportunity had come, turned around, and pressed An Xi to send the basketball to the basket, but An Xi was not out of position, he just took half a step back, stretched out his hand, and directly blocked James's shooting angle, the basketball slammed on the rebound, and then bounced out.
Didn't go in!
Hajim Olajuwon said a few more words on the sidelines: "LeBron, you are in too much of a hurry, Anxi has not been completely shaken away, your second step should be a feint, deceive Anxi's defensive center of gravity, and then go to the basket from the other side, this is the most correct way." ”
LeBron James nodded and continued to devote himself to the confrontation with Anxi.
The confrontation lasted for half an hour, and Olajuwon shouted, telling Anxi and James to rest first, and then walked next to the two and used a tactical board to analyze the problems of Anxi and James.
There must be problems, on the one hand, although Anxi's back and low position have improved, it is definitely not perfect, on the other hand, Olajuwon's bystanders are clear, and they can naturally see Anxi's problems.
After a few more points, Olajuwon mentioned Anxi's departure.
"Ann, when are you leaving tomorrow?"
LeBron James looked up at Anxi, who had been practicing with Anxi in the past two days, and LeBron James felt that he had gained a lot, because Anxi was not only a master of back and low posts, he was also a master of defense.
Anxi suddenly said that he was leaving, LeBron James was a little reluctant, and then, LeBron James could only shake his head in his heart, Anxi wanted to leave, and he couldn't control others at all.
Facing Olajuwon's question, An Xi nodded, he had already thought about it: "Yes, I'm going to leave tomorrow morning and fly directly to Philadelphia." ”
"You're starting pre-season training so early?" Olajuwon suddenly became curious.
"No, the training camp started on September 15, and it will be a few days away. ”
Olajuwon nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then let's do it, I'll treat you in the evening and give you a ride, LeBron, come along?"
LeBron James nodded: "Okay." ”
After a break of about ten minutes, the confrontation started again, and there were constant shouts in the training hall, and finally, Anxi and James, who were exhausted, lay on the floor to rest for a while, and then Olajuwon went to the underground garage in advance to drive, waiting for Anxi and James at the door of the arena.
In the locker room, An Xi, who came to her senses first, took a shower, and then watched LeBron James come in.
LeBron James didn't go directly to the shower, he stood in the door for a while, and then suddenly said: "Ann, let me ask you a question, why did you suddenly explode in the finals last season?"
An Xi was stunned, and then smiled bitterly in his heart, why did he suddenly erupt Okay, this question is really level.
"I felt like I was in good shape, so I exploded. ”
"But it doesn't make sense, when you play the Warriors, you can only say that the performance is average, but when you play us, it suddenly comes very hard. ”
An Xi tilted his head and thought about it, and he found a reason for himself: "Maybe you don't have a real outside defender, the Warriors do, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes are both." ”
"Perimeter defenders......
LeBron James was left muttering to himself, and then walked into the bathroom alone.
……
In the evening, Olajuwon held a banquet in a western restaurant in downtown Houston to entertain Anxi and James, but there were not many words between the three, LeBron James faced Anxi and Olajuwon, he didn't like to talk very much, this is not James's own character, Anxi didn't know, but looking at the way he talked eloquently in front of the live camera, Anxi felt that maybe LeBron James just felt that he had nothing to talk about with himself and Olajuwon, so he didn't have anything to say.
On the contrary, Anxi and Olajuwon talked a lot, including the future of the 76ers.
In the words, Anxi was very confident that the 76ers would make the playoffs, which made LeBron James interested and asked Anxi a few questions in a row.
"Why, why do you think the 76ers have a chance to make the playoffs? As far as I know, the 76ers have lost a lot of players this season, and there hasn't been much more money to bring in reinforcements other than you. ”
An Xi looked at LeBron James, who was full of questions, and he only said one sentence: "Isn't it okay to have me?"
LeBron James was silent for a moment, he was speechless, on the one hand, he felt that An Xi was too confident, and it seemed that he was too confident, but on the other hand, he couldn't find the question in An Xi's answer.
Indeed, just looking at the confrontation in the past few days, Anxi is by no means the role player in the media's mouth, and in the new season, Anxi will definitely become an All-Star.
However, LeBron James still feels that the 76ers' lineup is too bad, so bad that even if he goes to the 76ers, he won't have much confidence.
"As far as I know, the 76ers' reinforcements are not over yet, do you have any reinforcements in the future?"
This question, An Xi shook his head: "I don't know." ”
He really didn't know that although Josh Harris gave him the right to recruit on his own, this right has not been fulfilled, so this offseason, the 76ers' reinforcements have nothing to do with Anxi.
"You don't know?" said LeBron James, a little surprised.
An Xi nodded: "Yes, I don't know." ”
LeBron James has nothing to say, he thinks that Anxi is just confident, and there is nothing else to do, so he has nothing to ask, in his heart, he still doesn't think the 76ers can make the playoffs, because an All-Star can't make the playoffs with a team that looks so bad.
Unless it's a superstar......
But the current Anxi definitely doesn't have the strength of a superstar.
After this somewhat boring meal, Anxi stayed in Houston for another night before boarding a plane to Philadelphia early the next morning.
In the new house in Philadelphia, everything seems so quiet and lonely, Abby is not here, when Anxi was in Houston special training, she went to accompany her for a while, and then went to Phoenix, stayed with her parents for a while, and still hasn't come back.
However, in the afternoon, there was an extra living person in the villa, Yvo Clark came, and during the days of Anxi's special training, a lot of things happened around Anxi.
For example, the Chinese men's basketball team was defeated in Manila, and lost to South Korea in the first game, ushering in a black start.
stumbled out of the group, and then lost to the ******** team in the quarterfinals unprecedentedly, breaking a big upset, and finally had to rely on the final qualifying round, ranking fifth, setting a new low in the Asian Championships.
Although I knew that there was no Anxi, no one would have thought that the men's basketball team after Anxi would be so miserable and bleak, so the domestic scolding war against the men's basketball team and the Basketball Association suddenly started......
In addition to the defeat of the men's basketball team, there are also various mysterious reinforcements from the 76ers.
Summer League signed a large number of fringe players in the league, and after a lot of drills, and gave the best of those fringe players training camp contracts, the 76ers' roster was full of strange names before the new season even began......
And Yvoclark is here for these two things...... (To be continued.) )
