Chapter 116: Olajuwon Training Camp

At the moment when Chi Liang was tiptoeing, Olajuwon collected the basketball, completed the turn again, pressed against Chi Liang with his right elbow, and made a hook move with his left hand.

This time, Ji Liang finally jumped.

The result - another shooting feint!

While Ji Liang was still in the air, Olajuwon rushed to the basket with a stride and scored a layup with a low hand.

Chi Liang is very helpless, Olajuwon's movements are too deceptive, every feint is like the real one, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"Little one, you still have a lot to learn!"

After scoring a goal, Olajuwon glanced at Ji Liang and turned back to defend.

Ji Liang didn't speak, looking at Olajuwon's back, his heart fluctuated, this was the first time he faced a dream dance move. In the past, he looked at it from the perspective of a bystander, thinking that the defenders were too stupid, and he was easily flown by Olajuwon, but who knew that he did not please him.

After running to the front court, Ji Liang confronted Olajuwon and asked, "Hakim, I heard that you are going to start your own basketball class this offseason?"

Olajuwon's training camp is also the most famous basketball camp in later generations, and stars such as Kobe, James and Howard have become regulars in the camp.

Of course, Howard didn't learn home and became a negative example!

"Hey, you're very well-informed, but I have to warn you, tuition isn't cheap!" Olajuwon wondered who had leaked the news.

Chi Liang was able to get the news, mainly related to Inglish, who was familiar with Olajuwon and inadvertently leaked his mouth during a training session.

"How much?"

"It's too low, after all, if there are too many students, it will be difficult for me to take care of them, so I am prepared to charge $50,000 a week! If you come, I can give you a 5% discount, and if you don't have enough money, you can take credit! ”

In the history of the NBA, Olajuwon is the strongest player in the low post back, and the training camp he runs is not just to make money, but mainly because he is older, he wants to teach his skills to more people and help more players improve themselves.

However, Olajuwon's training camp has not yet started, and if you want to attract more players, you must make a name for yourself as a training camp, so Olajuwon hit the idea on Ji Liang.

In Olajuwon's eyes, Chi Liang is definitely the best player in this class, averaging an astonishing 20+10+5 per game, and the future is limitless, as long as he can join and make some progress, his training camp is bound to be a hit.

However, Olajuwon is also worried, after all, even if he is discounted, he will have to pay $25,000 a week. And because of the draft order, Chi Liang's salary is bound to be low, and I am afraid that he will have to 'cut back on food and clothing'.

In order to avoid Chi Liang's refusal, Olajuwon not only gave him a five-percent discount, but also gave him the right to take credit.

"Hakim, thank you for your kindness, but there is no need for credit, I just signed a 3-year 24 million sneaker contract with Nike!"

Chi Liang's seemingly ordinary words undoubtedly greatly stimulated Olajuwon, because the center does not sell shoes, even if Olajuwon won two championships, he still did not sign a large sneaker contract.

The most speechless thing is that in the end, he and Malone accepted an offer from a niche brand, and packed the sneakers of the two of them with only a cheap contract of 150,000 yuan a year, which shows how unpopular the sneaker company is to see them.

used to be the first center, the sneaker contract was pitiful, and Chi Liang, who was originally considered a 'poor boy', signed a big contract, which made Olajuwon feel a lot of pain.

It's like when Payton showed Jordan that he could buy a Ferrari too, only to be told by Jordan that the Ferrari was given by a sponsor.

At this time, Chi Liang received a pass from Billups, and while Olajuwon was not focused, Chi Liang easily completed the breakthrough and scored a layup.

However, Olajuwon is an old oilman after all, and he began to suppress the resentment in his heart, and turned his grief and anger into strength, asking for the ball in the low post again and again.

No matter how Ji Liang guarded himself, Olajuwon's feints were so deceptive that they almost threw him around, and even if he hesitated, he would make the fake come true and throw a basketball.

So, Chi Liang was blown up.

Basketball is not a sport that relies solely on physical fitness, whether you are a center or a guard, back technique and skill are very important, and the combination of strength, speed and skill is the best effect.

Olajuwon, on the other hand, is a player who has all these qualities, his low-post skills are perfect, his steps under the basket are unpredictable, he doesn't need to rely on his body at all, and a few commotions are enough to make defenders' scalps tingle.

When it comes to the transition between offense and defense, Olajuwon is also difficult to restrain Chi Liang, but Chi Liang's speed is too fast, faster than his peak, almost breaking him into a sieve.

In addition, he can't rely on his teammates to assist, as long as Barkley plays a defensive role, Ji Liang will use accurate passes for McDice to score easily.

20:22

The home team is in front and the away team is behind, which is also the score of the ninth minute of the first quarter between the two sides.

After the official timeout, the two sides sent a replacement lineup if there was a tacit understanding. Ji Liang continued to play, wanting to lead the substitutes to overtake the score.

On the other hand, perhaps too jealous of Chi Liang, under Tang Shuai's arrangement, Pippen and Mobley continued to play and swept the bench lineup.

In the substitution lineup, Ji Liang's position remained the same, and his interior partner became John Taylor. As for the others, they consist of Stich, Washington and Alexander, respectively.

There is no doubt that this is a small lineup, and the biggest advantage is that they are very mobile, and D'Antoni arranged them to play nothing more than to play fast breaks.

However, compared with the Nuggets, the Rockets' bench lineup is not inferior, but Pippen is an organized small forward, and through his strong organization, he has not fallen into disadvantage.

30:32

Towards the end of the first quarter, the margin between the two sides did not narrow, nor did it widen.

However, the Nuggets still have the ball.

After Taylor sent out the basketball, with less than ten seconds left, Ji Liang passed the half court as fast as he could.

Before Chi Liang crossed the three-point line, Pippen took the initiative to meet him, not wanting to give him a chance to tie or overtake.

At the moment when the two touched, Ji Liang controlled the ball sideways, and the dribble in his hand was extremely fast, and he wanted to wipe it over Pippen's right side.

Pippen's reaction was quick, and he immediately moved his bearings to block Ji Liang's breakthrough direction. But at the moment when the two were about to collide, Chi Liang suddenly stopped, and his outstretched right foot retreated, appearing outside the three-point line.

Pippen was shocked and immediately understood Chi Liang's intentions, but no matter how fast he reacted, it was too late at this time.

Swish~

The basketball entered the net, and Chi Liang fell to the ground smoothly, glanced at Pippen in front of him, and turned back to defend lightly.
