Chapter 207: The Odom Mystery

The fires of the playoffs are still spreading everywhere, with a total score of 2:0, the Celtics flew to Cleveland, and the banned Shi Lei became the last defender of this team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There is no way to sit in the team's players' box during the ban, and you have to watch the game from the audience, well, he doesn't dare, it is estimated that Cleveland's life has eaten his heart now.

It just so happened that Shi Lei also had too many mysteries to solve in his heart, so he didn't follow the team to the away team. With Danny. After the communication with Angie, he temporarily borrowed the Celtics' training ground. said that it was borrowed, and that was because Shi Lei brought his entire training team here.

Originally, Shi Lei set up a training team to prepare for the end of the season, but he didn't expect this accident to happen, anyway, it had already cost money, so it didn't have to be in vain, so Shi Lei asked Schwartz to bring them here.

"Hurry, hurry."

This is Shi Lei's strength and conditioning trainer Marshall. Davis, he pinched the stopwatch in his forehand, and kept urging Shi Lei, who was training in the core strength group, to speed up his movements.

The question of "the body can't find its center of gravity, the limbs are stiff during exercise, and the movements are uncoordinated" found the answer here in Davis, who told Shi Lei that the problem will be solved by strengthening training and allowing the body to adapt to all the changes that occur in the process of growth.

Well, Shi Lei can't describe the trouble he encountered to Davis in detail, and can only use the vague word "recently" to describe the time node of the trouble, so he is not very confident in the method given by Davis, but without a better choice, he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The feeling of powerlessness that came from the last game, he never wanted to experience it again.

After more than an hour, just as Davis kept urging, Shi Lei finally completed the training content of the last group of core strengths, he gasped for breath and lay flat on the massage cushion.

A masseuse quickly ran over from the sidelines at this time and began to give Shi Lei a restorative massage.

This is Shi Lei's masseur, a yellow-skinned and white-hearted Chinese-American named Byron. Plum. The craft is said to be ancestral, but apart from this craft, he does not speak a word of Chinese.

Originally, it should be a happy thing to see his compatriots, but after Shi Lei tried to communicate with him in Chinese, he lost the cordial feeling he just had, and even lost his native language.

Massage is a ..... Painful things, even more so for the first massage, but in this soreness, Shi Lei quickly recovered a little strength.

Twenty minutes later, Davis's urging voice sounded again, this time it was about physical training, Shi Lei's physical fitness was really poor in Davis's opinion, which compared to his astonishing upper body strength.

Shi Lei has always been training in this area, including the team's, as well as the training plan he entrusted Schwartz to ask the "master" to formulate, but compared to these, Davis has undoubtedly done more thoroughly, and it is more painful for Shi Lei, he is really squeezing the last bit of potential in Shi Lei's body.

Another hour passed, and at the end of this group of training, Shi Lei felt that his legs were not his own.

He dragged his heavy legs and fell headlong on the massage cushion and refused to get up. Li ran over from the sidelines again, knelt in front of Shi Lei, and flew up and down on Shi Lei's body with his hands.

The morning passed, Shi Lei's strength and conditioning training was over, and in the afternoon, what he was going to do was really professional practice in basketball, and his trainer for this session was Blair. Wall, a professional basketball personal coach, has taught superstars like Maddie and Iverson.

"Mr. Wall, may I ask you a question?"

Sitting on a chair on the side of the court, Shi Lei asked Blair, who was sitting next to him. This is the time to rest, and the people who have just finished eating are digesting their food here.

"Please."

Blair was a short white man, in his fifties and sixties, but he was quite strong.

"You know Lamar. Odom? I've been working on the way he plays lately. ā€

Shi Lei tilted his head, looked at Blair who was listening to him with a smile, and asked in a casual tone. But in fact, at this time, he was extremely nervous, and he urgently needed someone professional to guide him.

After the second game with the Cavaliers, although the trouble did not stop, Shi Lei spent more of his thoughts on reflecting on his own performance in that game. The more he thought about it, the more doubts in his heart became, he once thought that matching Odom would be able to play a role, but at this time, he saw a huge mystery from Odom.

"The one from the Los Angeles Lakers?"

"Yes, that's him."

Shi Lei nodded, although he was eager to know the answer, but he didn't let his expression be revealed, but said slowly: "I've been watching his game videos recently, because I think I'm very similar to his technical characteristics, but why can't I play in the game?" ā€

"You? No, no, no, no. Blair shook his head again and again, and then said to Shi Lei very seriously: "Don't learn from him, no one can play like him, anyone!" ā€

This surprised Shi Lei: "Why? ā€

"You've seen him play, so tell me where he is on the court?"

Blair glanced at Shi Lei calmly, and then asked rhetorically.

"Small forward."

The answer blurted out from Shi Lei's mouth, and then the next moment Shi Lei seemed to understand something, and sure enough, Blair asked again at this time: "Is it?" ā€

This made Shi Lei shrug his shoulders: "Well, he seems to be playing as a point forward." ā€

This time, Blair did not sell Guanzi, after all, Shi Lei is his employer. He said to Shi Lei: "No, he plays point guard, forward, interior, he is a team by himself, and he does all the work." ā€

Facing Shi Lei's questioning gaze, Blair paused and continued: "He will do too much, man, he can control the ball, can break through, can play back, can make three points, and can grab rebounds." ā€

"Isn't that bad?"

Blair's words made Shi Lei even more confused, isn't it good for a player to be comprehensive?

"No, it's good, he's talented, but he's not going to be a good learner, a playmaker needs to organize the team's offense and pass the ball to the right teammates, a shooting guard needs to shoot the ball at the right time, a small forward needs to find a way to break through, a power forward needs to grab rebounds and cover up with teammates, a center needs to attack the opposition's interior and get into chaos. Tell me, can a guy do all of this and make sure that everything is done in line with the team's current needs? ā€

Blair asked Shi Lei again, at this time Shi Lei seemed to have caught something, but he didn't seem to have caught anything, he desperately hoped that the other party would continue, so he hurriedly replied: "This seems to be difficult." ā€

"It's not that it's difficult, it's impossible to do it at the same time. There's no denying that he's one of the hardest guys to defend in the NBA because there's always a way to make your defense useless, he's not as flexible as he's, he's not as flexible as he's tall, he's thinner than him, he's got inside skills, he's stronger than him to break through you, and he's also very good at passing. But that's him, he's been playing like this since he was very young, he's used to it, he knows what to do and when......"

When Blair said this, Shi Lei suddenly knew the reason why he had doubts about Odom.

Yes, a person's basketball style is never developed overnight, it takes ten, twenty years or even longer to hone it. Shi Lei got Odom's basketball skills, but he didn't get Odom's basketball literacy. What's more, Odom's style of play is too weird. If it's someone else, it's okay to only play one or even two positions, running, shooting, breaking, etc., which is pretty good. But Odom has mastered too much, how can Shi Lei integrate Odom's mixed basketball skills and bring everything into play.

"It turns out that the problem is here."

Thinking about all this, Shi Lei breathed a long sigh of relief. If you understand where the problem is, it will be easy to solve, it is nothing more than the length of time.

"Thank you, Mr. Wall, I think I understand."

Blair's words pointed out the direction to Shi Lei and let him know where to go and work hard, but everything was much more difficult than Shi Lei thought. Although Shi Lei has worked hard to learn Odom's way of playing, and always improves his shortcomings, and trains harder, hoping that his body will find a meeting point with Odom's physical characteristics as soon as possible, when his teammates return from Cleveland, Shi Lei still does not accept much of Odom's basketball style that already exists in his body.

For example, Odom's center of gravity is very high, Odom is left-handed, etc., which makes it difficult for Shi Lei to change his or Odom's habits in a short period of time, and in the process of training, he often faces mistakes and the danger of being stolen by the sparring partners.

Another example is Odom's dribbling breakthrough and shooting ability, Shi Lei can't let himself change the stiffness of his muscles and the lack of ball sense in a short period of time.

However, Shi Lei is not without gains, at least in terms of passing vision and passing options, Shi Lei has some new understanding. and the breakthrough ability he already had, which finally recovered at this time. (To be continued.) )
