In the past two years, the Rockets have basically no players from the draft, except for the players who have been traded, which is not a good thing for Cheng Lei, which can only show that the current Rockets are relatively competitive, and if they want to get a position, they need to redouble their efforts.

However, as a newcomer, Cheng Lei still gained a lot of attention, in the face of such a big market behind Cheng Lei, few people will not be impressed, and in this regard, the rocket has always been in the front.

This is also the biggest reason why General Manager Morey chose Cheng Lei.

Of course, as the head coach of the team, he still attaches great importance to Cheng Lei's defensive ability, and now the team's main James Harden's biggest shortcoming is defense, and Cheng Lei's arrival, perhaps, can just make up for Harden's lack of defense.

According to the usual practice, for new players, there will always be a rookie training period, as a sparring partner, of course, it is also a well-known big name, the famous name of the Rockets, Olajuwon.

Olajuwon brought the Rockets to unprecedented heights and won the championship with his unique dreamy footsteps, and until now, Olajuwon's footsteps are a must-learn for big-name stars.

As a new member of the Rockets, Cheng Lei's advantage over other rookies may be that he can get Olajuwon's teaching first.

The training hall is in the suburbs, and the decoration inside looks very good, in addition to the basketball training hall, there are gyms, swimming pools, restaurants, etc., it can be seen that this training ground exclusive to Olajuwon is still very classy.

Olajuwon can only spare an hour a day to teach Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei has a month to study, as for how much he can learn, it depends on Cheng Lei's talent.

Cheng Lei is on a small court on the west side of the second floor of the training, this court, which is usually not open to the public, belongs to Olajuwon's private training ground, at this moment, Cheng Lei is shooting alone on the court.

Because Olajuwon still has courses, during this period, Cheng Lei is empty and empty, and he starts to train.

Shooting is really Cheng Lei's strength, especially the three-point point, which is exactly the same as Curry, but the stability is still not so stable.

This damn system, how come it has been a long time since the last mission was completed, and there has been no response at all, Cheng Lei wonders if this thing is broken.

The average is stuck at 80 points, does it seem that I can only be a blue-collar worker?

"Bang dang... After two consecutive three-pointers, the ball bounced off the back edge of the basket due to the force.

Something is wrong, the feel of throwing it should be no problem, this ball should not go in, Cheng Lei scratched his head, picked up the ball on the ground and looked at it.

Cheng Lei dribbled a few times and found that there was no problem with this ball, it was Spalding, a professional ball in NBA games, but there was a problem with not making a basket?

So, Cheng Lei walked to the free throw line and made a few free throws, and in the end, Cheng Lei determined that it was indeed the problem with the basket.

To be precise, it should be that the basket is short, and as for how much shorter it is, it shouldn't be too much, anyway, at least it can't be seen with the naked eye.

Usually, Cheng Lei's magic ball is very accurate, but now, several consecutive hits are on the back edge of the basket, and there can only be one explanation, that is, the basket is short.

The basket was wrong here, so Cheng Lei could only change half the court and shoot it over there, this time, it felt good, and the ball was thrown steadily.

At the entrance of the stadium, a tall figure looked at Cheng Lei, and when he saw him change his half, he smiled.

"Why don't you shoot over here?"

Cheng Lei stopped, turned his head and saw that it was Olajuwang who had come in.

"My name is Cheng Lei, and I've met my seniors!" Cheng Lei said politely.

"You're welcome, they're all part of Team Rocket, just behave well in the future!" Olajuwon said kindly.

The Rockets have always had a tradition of high school forwards, and Olajuwon specializes in helping the Rockets train their center skills.

In recent years, the overall league style of play has developed towards a small lineup, and the Rockets are of course no exception, so the players who come to learn from Olajuwon are getting shorter and shorter.

"Do you think there's something wrong with the basket over here?" Olajuwon looked at Cheng Lei and said.

"It should be shorter, I just tested it, it shouldn't be wrong!" Cheng Lei said confidently.

Olajuwon had been watching Cheng Lei at the entrance for a while, and after seeing Cheng Lei change the half, he showed a smile.

The basket in the half over there was indeed one centimeter shorter, which, of course, he knew, was violently dunked by a college some time ago, and the basket was broken, and after changing the basket, the height was wrong, and he didn't have time to adjust.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Lei actually tried to make the basket wrong, which made Olajuwon look at Cheng Lei a few more times.

Without a soft feel, it is not easy to see the confidence in shooting, and Kobe Bryant also did this.

A person's strength is inseparable from his own self-confidence, when Kobe Bryant couldn't shoot, he suspected that the basket was short, and in the end, it turned out that the basket was indeed one centimeter shorter.

"Ray, show me your current steps!"

After chatting with Olajuwon for a while, another trainer walked in, ready to start the formal training.

After Cheng Lei stood in position, Olajuwon supported the pass, and the trainer who had just come in was responsible for defending Cheng Lei.

On the right side of the free throw line, Cheng Lei tried hard to test the defense behind him, the trainer was very strong, Cheng Lei couldn't sit in it freely at all, he could only shake it, turned around one later, and made a backward jumper.

The trainer's defense was very in place, directly blocking Cheng Lei's shooting route, and Cheng Lei could only change the position of a shot in the air.

Hit the board, the ball didn't go in.

For this kind of big forward on the inside, or the offensive skills of the center, Cheng Lei is not very practical, and he is not very skilled.

"These two sways are still very good!" Olajuwon nodded.

Now many centers, in addition to strong attacks, even the most basic virtual swaying is very blunt, but Cheng Lei's two sways are very spiritual.

"Moreover, you now, after the dumble, you tend to turn over and jump shots, and if you use it too much, it will be easy to be targeted, and more changes need to be added!"

After Olajuwon finished speaking, he gave Cheng Lei a demonstration, which was also a virtual shaking, Olajuwon's range of action was larger than Cheng Lei's, and after the span was larger, it was difficult for the defender to judge the specific direction of attack.

Also turned, made a hand up, made a shooting pose, and when the defender came up, Olajuwon's center of gravity dropped, and with a stride, passed through the defender's trainer, and easily picked up a basket.

The movement is full of beauty in one go, and it looks like a complete pleasure.

It's no wonder that Olajuwon is known as a must-have on the inside, both in terms of rhythm and movement, which is always full of confusion, and you can never tell what method he used to shoot until the last step.
