Chapter 225: Whatever It Takes

Not long after, Olajuwon looked at Chi Liang and Bird, and asked, "Bird, how do you compare?"

"If I could be a few years younger, maybe I'd give it a try, but for now, I'm just here to test his strength. So, this time he tested his offense and defense, but he could only use low-post techniques! ”

Without waiting for Ji Liang to answer, Bird casually threw the ball to Ji Liang and waited for Ji Liang to attack.

After the test began, Ji Liang received the ball in the waist position, and Bird immediately posted it up, transferring his strength to Ji Liang.

For the first time, Chi Liang leaned in, but he didn't work too hard, after all, Bird was 43 years old, and he couldn't use his physical fitness to bully him.

What's more, this is just a test, if you keep bullying Bird with your body, there is no test effect at all.

Suddenly, Ji Liang's shoulders shook, and he quickly touched the ground with his left foot, and his right foot reached for Bird's left side, pretending to want to turn around.

Bird wasn't completely fooled, but out of the corner of Ji Liang's eye, he noticed that Bird's defensive focus had clearly shifted.

It was also at this moment that Ji Liang's left foot continued to exert force, changing from the original feint to a real turn, from the back basket to the face frame.

Bird reacted quickly and immediately wanted to move his feet to block Ji Liang's breakthrough.

At the moment of completing the turn, Ji Liang held the ball with both hands and took a false step to the left, and Bird hurriedly moved his feet while straightening his arms.

But at the moment when Bird moved, Chi Liang's footsteps were retracted, and he took a step back, and Bird could only watch as Chi Liang pulled away most of his body and jumped out.

Swish~

Seeing the basketball fly into the basket, Chi Liang was not proud, after all, Bird was 43 years old, and even if he broke up, he didn't have any sense of accomplishment.

Bird shrugged his shoulders and re-passed the ball to Ji Liang.

Soon, it was the same position again, this time Ji Liang shook his feet with his back, and at the moment when Bird's center of gravity changed, he took advantage of the rapid change of footsteps to complete the turn from the other side, and opened the distance with Birdra, and threw the ball into the basket again.

Bird passed the ball back to Ji Liang, but his expression became very solemn compared to before, but if you look closely, you can see that his eyes hide excitement.

The stronger Ji Liang is, the more confident he will be to convince management to make the team pay a bigger price and make a deal with the Nuggets.

The third attack, this time Ji Liang did not continue to turn his back, but chose to attack with a face frame.

looked at Chi Liang who was facing him head-on. Bird lowered his center of gravity, reached out his left hand in front of Chi Liang's eyes, and raised his right hand high.

Suddenly, Ji Liang's shoulders shook, and regardless of whether Bird was shaken or not, his right foot immediately took a step back. Bird quickly stabilized his body and hurriedly took a step forward, wanting to compress Chi Liang's space!

In an instant, Ji Liang's left leg stepped forward, and Bird immediately retreated, and then moved sideways against Chi Liang.

In this process, Ji Liang's left hand is separated by Bird, and his right knee is bent sharply, pressing his center of gravity very low. With the right foot as the axis, the left foot rotates with the trend, and the hands are slightly raised, facing the basket again.

Ji Liang's movements were so realistic that Bird jumped up subconsciously, and when he jumped up, he realized that he had been deceived again.

After deceiving Bird, Ji Liang rushed to the basket with a step and scored on the basket again.

was scored three goals in a row by the opponent, Bird waved his hand helplessly, but his expression was not lost, but excited.

Although due to too much physical deterioration, he did not fully test Chi Liang's true strength, but Bird was sure in his heart that under the guidance of Olajuwon, Chi Liang's low-post attack has obviously improved.

"Stop, there's no need to try!" What kind of person is Bird, although his low-post ability is not as good as Olajuwon, but he is also extremely good, and he naturally feels the low-post offensive ability of Izuke Liang.

Even if we continue to experiment, this will be the same result.

"Larry, what's up, I didn't lie to you! Even if it's me, it's hard to limit him now. At the rate at which he progresses, by the end of the offseason, he may be able to reach the top of his low-post ability! ”

At this time, Olajuwon came to the two and patted Ji Liang's shoulder hard.

In a sense, the stronger Chi Liang's low-post offense, the better the publicity effect of the Big Dream Training Camp.

This is like Kobe Bryant in later generations, after the guidance of Olajuwon, Kobe's low-post ability has made great progress, and then it has become a conventional offensive means, the greater his achievements in the future, the better the low-post ability, and the better the publicity effect of the big dream training camp.

Bird nodded approvingly, and said to Chi Liang: "Chi Liang, your low-post offensive ability is really beyond my expectations, with your current strength, you are likely to become a superstar like me, Hakim, and even have the opportunity to become a master on the court like Michael." I'm going back to Polis right now and I'm sure I'm going to convince management to make a deal with the Nuggets at all costs! ”

Bird and Ji Liang talked for a while, mainly about basketball concepts, skills, tactics and other things.

As the conversation deepened, Bird learned more about Chi Liang, and he couldn't suppress his appreciation for Chi Liang in his heart, and wanted to do everything he could to get Chi Liang.

When it was almost time for the plane to return, Bird hurriedly said goodbye to Chi Liang and Olajuwon, and Duffy took him to the airport.

After Bird left, Olajuwon hooked Chi Liang's neck and said, "Chi Liang, if you can really go to the Pacers, maybe it will be a leap forward for your career!" However, the city of polis is still too small, and it is inevitable that there will be limitations, and it is almost difficult to form a dynasty! ”

Whether it's the Celtics dynasty, the Red Bull dynasty or the yet-to-be-emerging Purple and Gold dynasty, the cities where these teams are located are all among the top ten cities in the United States.

In this era, if you count the NBA championships, you will find that the vast majority of championships are won by the teams of the top ten cities in the United States.

The bigger the city, the more attention and influence it will be, and the league's policies will also have a certain tilt, which can bring rich returns to the team to a large extent.

With an ample source of money, there is no fear of submitting the luxury tax to the league, and it will be easier for the team to bring in reinforcements, which is a gradual process.

Of course, the Clippers don't count, they were pressed too hard by the Lakers, and the owner is the most famous stingy guy in the league.

In general, the Pacers' ball market is too small and they don't have a very generous owner, so they are not suitable for long-term stays.

"Hakim, I can't influence this trade, whether or not I can go to the Pacers depends mainly on team management. Actually, no matter which team I go to, as long as I am given a core position, it doesn't matter much to me! ”

Ji Liang's idea is very simple, he still has two years left on his rookie contract, what he has to do is to make a name for himself in these two years, and when the time comes, he will become a free agent, and he will naturally be able to take the initiative.

"That's right, I can assure you on behalf of the Nets that as long as you go to the Nets, we're going to build a team around you!"

At some point, the old man from the Nets appeared in front of the two.
