On June 30, Chi Liang finished his rest and flew directly to Houston, wanting to join the upcoming Big Dream Training Camp.

Since this was the first time Olajuwon had held a training camp, the price was nowhere near as staggering as it would have been in later generations, but it had reached $30,000 a week.

That's a lot of money for some fringe players or players who haven't joined the NBA yet.

But as long as you can gain a foothold in the NBA, this price is actually not too expensive, and Olajuwon's vision is very high, and it is not possible to join by paying money, you must have a certain amount of talent.

Because of this, there are not many players who have joined the Big Dream Training Camp, only a few people.

From a basketball perspective, learning a skill that can be used in the NBA can be quite a lengthy process.

Every skill in the professional arena is far from being as simple as it seems. Take the simplest change of direction breakthrough as an example, how can we achieve the best breakthrough effect in terms of the cutting angle of the step, the size of the stride, etc.? How does a ball protector just press a defender's arm?

As for professional players, it is to integrate a simple action, temper it, and carve it to perfection, in order to better gain a foothold in the NBA.

As for Olajuwon, who can do almost anything, dominates both offensive and defensive ends, and is known as the best technical center in the NBA.

Olajuwon is not only a master of the basket, but his jumper from outside the box is just as accurate, and most speechlessly, he is as agile and quick as a forward player.

Of course, Olajuwon's best thing is the fantasy dance moves he is used to when he goes head-to-head with his opponents, and he has tried and tested repeatedly, successfully combining his body and technique perfectly, and it is this mastery that led the Rockets to two championships.

From a technical point of view, Olajuwon has excellent ball control skills like a playmaker, not only dribbling quickly under the crotch, but also getting rid of opponents with just the right time. In addition, Olajuwon's balance is also quite good when turning on one foot, and there has never been a mistake when the ball was broken by an opponent due to an unstable center of gravity.

In terms of physical fitness, Olajuwon not only has great strength, but also the speed and agility of a small forward.

Both technically and physically, Chi Liang and Olajuwon are relatively similar. Olajuwon, in particular, has a clear understanding of himself, and knows every detail of his technique, from learning to perfection to being unstoppable on the field.

For professional players, the skills he learned from Olajuwon are also things that he can only realize after a lot of hard work on the field, which is why Ji Liang chose the Big Dream Training Camp.

For Chi Liang, who got a big contract for sneakers, the tuition fee of $30,000 a week is not high, as long as it can strengthen his ability, it is very worthwhile.

The current Chi Liang, although the offense is faintly known as a kaleidoscope, may be too miscellaneous, every skill has not reached the top, and his personal offensive style needs to be sublimated, especially to improve his ability under the basket.

With Olajuwon's guidance, Ji Liang's basket footwork and low-post offensive skills may be sublimated, and then reach the point of killer power.

On July 1st, which was also the day of the opening of the Big Dream Training Camp, Chi Liang came to the Big Dream Training Camp on time with a backpack.

To host the camp, Olajuwon loaned a training gym for the Rockets.

However, Rockets owner Leslie Alexander is notoriously stingy in the league and did not give Olajuwon a discount just because he is a Rockets celebrity.

In the Big Dream Training Camp, Chi Liang met the students of the same period, maybe Olajuwon was too harsh, or maybe he had no teaching experience, and the Big Dream Training Camp admitted a few people.

Among these people, all of them are big men, including Chi Liang's acquaintance, who is the core of the Grizzlies - Sharif Abdul Rahim.

There's no doubt that Raheem wants to take his low post skills to the next level.

Except for Rahim, the rest of Chi Liang don't know each other, presumably all of them are NBA fringe players, or they are drafts that have not yet joined the NBA.

For Olajuwon, who is nearing retirement, it is necessary to maintain media exposure if he wants to expand the impact of the training camp, which will help the development of the big dream training camp.

How to maintain exposure, that is naturally to recruit star players, which is why he recruited Chi Liang and Rahim.

"Good morning, Chi Liang!"

"Morning, Sharif!"

Before Olajuwon's arrival, Ji Liang warmed up and chatted with Rahim.

Raheem is a low-key person, and like Olajuwon, he adheres to the rules of the first religion and is undoubtedly a player worth befriending.

After waiting for a long time, Olajuwon arrived at the training gym.

Bang Bang Bang ~

Olajuwon clapped his hands vigorously and began to gather the players on the field: "Guys, welcome to the Big Dream Training Camp!" After you finish the warm-up, you will be guided by the trainer to train, if you don't understand something, you can also come to me at any time! ”

For this training camp, Olajuwon naturally invited several professional trainers, all of whom are from the Rockets and have a wealth of experience.

While the players were training, Olajuwon was not idle, he stood on the sidelines, looked at several players on the field, and analyzed their mastery of skills.

Of course, the focus is still on Chi Liang and Rahim! If the two can make progress, the Big Dream Training Camp is bound to be an instant hit.

"Raheem's basket skills and low post footwork are excellent, and he deserves to be one of the best No. 4 players in the league!"

Looking at Rahim's performance, Olajuwon secretly said in his heart, in terms of offensive skills, I have to say that Rahim is very good, and his flaw is not offense, but defense.

Raheem didn't participate in the Big Dream Training Camp to learn offensive skills, his main purpose was to improve defensive skills.

Olajuwon is not only the league's most skilled center, but he is also a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and all-time block king.

After observing Rahim, Olajuwon began to turn to Ji Liang.

"This rookie is still so violent, no wonder he can fight from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, it's really demonic!"

After observing Ji Liang for a while, looking at the opponent's solid inside footwork and low-post skills, even Olajuwon felt the pressure.

If he learns his fantasy moves and basket skills, how far will the rookie go?

However, Olajuwon does not have the idea of cherishing himself with a broomstick, he has reached the age of retirement, but wants to pass on his dream dance moves and skills.

With a draft in mind, Olajuwon began to come to the field, correcting the players' movements and demonstrating them himself.

At the same time, during the training period, Olajuwon often had small meetings with Chi Liang and Rahim, hoping to give them better guidance.
