Chapter 31: The Practice of Dream Steps

"Easy, your strength and your movement speed are fine, however, your dribbling is a bit poor, in my opinion, you don't have the ability to control the ball freely for the time being, which will make it difficult for you to use your feet on the inside!"

Yi Jianlian encountered new problems on the first day of learning with Olajuwon, and his dribbling was very flawed.

In fact, there is a precursor in the summer league, and the reason why Yi Jianlian can only cut in the air is that his dribbling is not good, especially in the case of confrontation, it is even worse.

It's just that at that time, compared to dribbling, his weakness in strength was more obvious, so he put aside the practice of dribbling, but now, if he doesn't practice, it can't be done, and if he doesn't dribble well, it is difficult to learn Olajuwon's "dream steps".

"I've already made a plan for you, you practice dribbling every morning, and then we'll learn how to dribble in the afternoon while your hands are hot! What do you think? Easy, can you accept my plan? ”

"OK, no problem, Hakim, I'm completely at your disposal!" Yi Jianlian nodded, as far as the current situation is concerned, Olajuwang is definitely the most pertinent opinion, and if he disagrees, it will be difficult to get along with himself.

***

After Milwaukee's evening news section broadcast a video of Yi Jianlian learning from Olajuwon in Houston, it really made a big change in public opinion about "Yi Jianlian going to a night club and meeting young girls" on the cusp of the storm.

The first is that the psychology of the fans is no longer one-sided, and the fans who finally stood up to speak for Yi Jianlian:

"Maybe Yi just went to play occasionally, or maybe he just stood at the door and waited for someone, and no one took a picture of him in the night show."

"I think Yi Jianlian may not really mean to go, otherwise he wouldn't have to bring his agent with him, but Dan Feigen is with him in the photo!"

"Alright! It was just a no-big indulgence, Yi is a young man, and I want to believe him! ”

This is a part, but it does not represent all the fans, and there are some fans who are not so easy to speak:

"This is obviously a public relations ploy, why was the video of Yi training in Houston exploded at this time, it's too much of a coincidence!"

"I thought we were so fooled! Wait and see, the fake will never become the real one, and when the new season arrives, the truth or falsehood of these PR news will definitely be revealed, and the management of the Bucks, you are covering up your mistakes! ”

Compared to the above part of the fans who speak for Yi Jianlian, the bottom part is the mainstream, they prefer to believe that this is just a public relations ploy, in the past few decades, the Bucks have deceived them in this way n times, they have become accustomed to it, and gradually no longer believe it.

Moreover, a player from China has no achievements, and there is really no reason for them to be convinced.

Thankfully, they're no longer so aggressive, and the bombardment of Hammond's message boards on Twitter has gradually subsided, leaving only a small group of people chattering there.

Don't pay attention to this part of the people, they just spray for the sake of spraying!

This matter naturally spread back to China, and like foreign fans, most of them don't trust Yi Jianlian, but the difference is that these guys are about to scold Yi Jianlian to death!

Most domestic fans scolded more fiercely than foreign fans, which is actually quite sad. After all, many Chinese fans are about to blow up the NBA superstars, although these NBA superstars have done a lot of wrong things, and they can ignore them, but for the players who go out of China, there is no room for a little sand in their eyes.

Fans at home and abroad were in an uproar, but it did not affect Yi Jianlian at all, he still stayed in the training hall every day, practicing dribbling in the morning and footsteps in the afternoon.

It's not that his mentality is good, it's that he didn't know there was such a thing, and Dan Feigen confiscated his mobile phone, on the grounds that it is more difficult to practice footsteps than strength, and it requires full dedication and cannot be disturbed by the outside world.

Yi Jianlian didn't doubt it, he happily handed over his mobile phone, and was immersed in the changes in his steps every day and couldn't extricate himself.

In fact, the principle of "dream steps" is only a few steps, the key is to be flexible in your mind, and know when to use what kind of turns and steps to shake the opponent away.

In the final analysis, it is more of a test of a player's ball quotient.

Yi Jianlian repeated these movements under the basket, over and over again, repeating each change in every position to deepen the impression.

Muscles have memories, whether it's the feel of shooting or subconscious movements, these are things that muscles can remember. And the speed of reaction on the court is actually the impressiveness of muscle memory.

In a week's time, Yi Jianlian has become very familiar with the consistency of his movements and the changes of his entire footsteps when he moves his feet alone.

Seeing that it was almost over, Olajuwon began the second phase of training - joining the coach with a ramming mat to defend.

On the first day of the obstacle, Yi Jianlian was in trouble, and his previous seemingly coherent movements became scattered again, and he couldn't do a complete set of actions at all.

"Yi, you don't seem to be learning my footsteps, I didn't teach you that, Yi, you look like a child who hasn't grown up now, well, maybe you still need to drink a few sips of nai!"

Yi Jianlian's ears, as well as Olajuwon's constant trash talk off the field, made it even more difficult for him to concentrate on training.

"How? Hakim, how long do you think it will take easy to learn your steps! Dan Feigen was also beside him, looking at Yi Jianlian, who was doing some fragments, he was a little anxious.

"Dream Steps" is different from other technical movements, it is not a simple hard practice can be practiced, it is very talented, and people with high talent can learn it quickly.

Just like Yao Ming, he can be flexible and use it in a season or so, and he can shake three defenders dumbfounded under the basket alone.

And like Kobe, he came back one offseason and used his "dream footsteps" to a new level.

Learning and skillful use are two concepts, and Dan Fagan is now asking how long it will take for Yi Jianlian to learn "dream footsteps".

"It's the toughest time, if he can adapt to the defender quickly and use his feet fluidly, then he's already learned, and if he can't figure out how to deal with it, it's going to be difficult!"

Although the defender holding the charging pad is certainly not as strong as the NBA player, because of the size of the charging pad, he can make foot movements in the face of this width, and he can naturally make smooth movements when facing the player.
