Chapter 39
Summer League will not feature key players, and even the team's main rotation players are mostly on vacation at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this way, Zhang has become the biggest player in the Lakers' training camp, even if you don't mention his second-highest salary on the team, the status of the top show alone is enough for him to not have to carry bags for the veteran players like most rookies do. Marrick Healey, who was traded by the Clippers with him, is just an add-on, and his status may not be as good as Michael Finley, who was selected by the Lakers with the No. 19 pick, but he is not necessarily self-aware......
Marrick Healy was a rookie in '92, his fourth season, playing 60 games with the Clippers last year, starting 41 games, averaging 26 minutes per game and contributing 13 points and 3.6 rebounds. In terms of scoring efficiency, he is a little better than Eddie Jones.
So if you only compare the numbers, this Malik Healy performed no worse than Eddie Jones last season. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the 25-year-old Marrick Healy has no potential to dig up, and Eddie Jones is a rising star, so the Clippers will use him to trade.
However, Malik Healy doesn't think so, he thinks he's the main character!
I really don't know where this enigmatic self-confidence comes from?
On the first day of training, Zhang Zhu mainly practiced individually, and the previous three bigwigs only came to meet him, and after the three left, a coach named Wallace Bryan was responsible for guiding him and also serving as his sparring partner.
The Lakers' coaching staff doesn't plan to let Zhang Qi participate in a 5v5 confrontation right away, they want to find out his technical characteristics first, and at the same time, let Zhang Qian adapt to the confrontation of American basketball first.
The Wallace coach is also a former NBA player, not only is he nearly two meters tall, but he has also been exercising since retiring, and now his weight of 220 pounds and excellent body fat percentage make him look no thinner than Zhang Qi, so he is very suitable to be Zhang Qi's sparring partner, and he can also use his previous experience to guide this top star.
Zhang Zhu did not look down on the former professional player, who is almost 40 years old, and although he can get rid of the opponent in terms of speed and agility, he may not be able to complete the pressure on the confrontation if it is a one-on-one offensive practice. What's more, other people's defensive experience is much stronger than him, and he can use training props to cheat to a certain extent.
Before starting the training, Zhang took a physical measurement, and the Lakers wanted to record his daily physical changes, and from today onwards, he would even have to follow the recipe that the Lakers had customized for him.
A poke of green unknown liquid that Zhang Yu saw at the door just now was transported in, and it was said to be a special nutrient solution specially prepared for him.
Seriously, he's a little panicked now, can he eat that unknown liquid?
This time, the measurement changed slightly, he grew to 201.5cm barefoot, 204cm tall with shoes, weighed 215 pounds, had an arm span of 219cm, was 276cm tall when standing, and had a body fat percentage of 6.1% (subcutaneous fat).
The biggest change in the static body side this time and more than half a month ago is the weight, he is almost about 5 pounds heavier, and his height has also grown by 0.5 cm, and the body fat rate may have increased due to the recent decrease in training, but overall it is still very good, it seems that he can at least rise to 205cm, which is a bit like the figure of a magician, the difference is that the neck is not as short as that of a magician.
One-on-one training in the NBA, which is not complicated to say, is usually assigned a certain position for you to play with the ball, but usually limits the way you can complete the offense. For example, if you have to catch the ball with your back, but you can't turn around and break through, then you can only find a way to throw the ball within this framework, which is a training method that increases the difficulty for players to take the initiative.
After Zhang Qi warmed up, Wallace was ready to test his ability to shoot in the face frame, requiring him not to break through to the basket with the ball, and to finish shooting within three seconds after receiving the ball, and find a way to throw the ball in within this limit.
This simulates a situation where an opponent has a top center on the inside and is about to be caught in the trap, and the ball carrier must find a way to quickly shake off the opponent to complete the shot.
But in this case, the shot will definitely be interfered with by the opponent, and what kind of scoring efficiency Zhang can hand over at this time is very important for the Lakers.
"Am I going to practice this?" Zhang Yu saw that there were dozens of people in the training hall, but most of the players were sharing a basket with multiple people, but he could occupy a basket by himself, and the difference was still obvious.
"Don't look at them, those people will be cut before the end of training camp, your environment is much better than them, but if you can't even pass my level, then don't try to compete for the main position in the new season, the team won't let you start just because you're the top show, so beat me first and then think about the rest." Coach Wallace knows the hearts of rookie players, he was a member of the NBA's bottom players in the first place, and he knows the cruelty of this league best.
Zhang Qian didn't bother to refute, he was very confident in himself, thinking that he shouldn't be in much trouble if he beat a retired uncle.
But soon, he discovered how difficult this training was......
Due to the offensive limitations, Wallace knows very well how he will shoot, and there is no need to prevent his ball-handling breakthrough at all, and every defense can be relatively close, and can effectively interfere when he shoots, which makes Zhang Mao's five consecutive attacks in different positions only once.
"Wait, it's not fair, I can't break through with the ball, so don't you need to judge my offensive intentions? And wouldn't your little action get a foul? In addition to being dissatisfied that he couldn't break through with the ball, Zhang Qian was also very unhappy with Wallace's constant elbow and knee against his body, and this bastard even often used his strength to pull and hit his fragile waist, which made it difficult for him to shoot in a comfortable way!
"It's right if you feel uncomfortable, and if you don't want to feel uncomfortable, you have to learn to master the timing and skills of exerting force. In official matches, defenders are likely to push your waist and abdomen like this, or secretly pull your body and jersey, and sometimes black-footed you, so you need to learn how to deceive your opponent with feints, especially how to find a moment that will not be affected by your opponent. At this time, he comes to push you and drag you, that is a foul, and this is also how to cheat the foul. ”
Wallace first made Zhang Qian suffer a little before patiently explaining to him: "You must know that in official games, these small foul actions are not easy for the referee to notice. At the same time, for the sake of the fluency of the game, it is often seen that the game will not be easily stopped. So don't be pushed and shouted fouls when you pull them. It's impossible, otherwise you don't have to watch the game, just watch the players take free throws. ”
Zhang Wei said that he had nothing to say, although he felt that these words were suspected of exaggeration, but this situation did occur in the game.
What he didn't know was that these small moves by Wallace, and the defensive moves that were on the verge of a foul, were nine foul moves four or five years later.
A few years later, defenders were not even allowed to push with their forearms or defend against offensive players, and these movements were only allowed in the penalty area or with their backs.
Later, when Maddy and Kobe Bryant held the ball on the outside, they could always hold the ball sideways in a chic way, posing before attacking. If this had been changed before, the defenders would have been sticking to the iron elbows a long time ago, where would you be so handsome and cool outside?
But now, as Wallace said, offensive players have to be cunning. First of all, you must not let people guess when you are making a move, you must use feints to deceive the opponent, or find a way to force the opponent away, and then exert force again so that the opponent will not be overshadowed.
Zhang Fu's basketball IQ is not low, and he soon knew that it was not advisable to be brutal, and began to consciously shake the opponent with feints, or use his strong body to squeeze the opponent's defensive space, and then find opportunities to shoot after forcing the opponent away, so that he was much less disturbed.
"Be careful, the attacker's elbow swing is more likely to be whistled for a foul, your movement is too big." Wallace saw that Zhang Fu adapted quickly, and after only a dozen rounds, he actually turned around and scared him with a pair of iron elbows, and secretly praised him in his heart, but did not forget to warn Zhang Fu to pay attention to his movements.
In both offensive and defensive sides, it is always the defender in the dark and the attacker in the open, the former's small movements are not easy to be noticed, but the attacker's bright elbow pushing action is easy to be discovered by the referee, and it is easier to be whistled for offensive fouls.
Zhang Wei was secretly scolding in his heart, if you don't let me break through, then I have too few choices, I can't shake you off with feints, of course, I can only use iron elbows to force you back.
"Now try to squeeze me away with your back, don't just think about the face frame with a body like you, don't you know how to hit your back, push me and then find a chance to shoot." Wallace was very satisfied with Zhang Mao's face frame attack, especially the strength of this little guy, if it wasn't for restricting his offensive means, he wouldn't have been able to stop the impact of this high school student. Even the power he thought was a sure win now doesn't seem to have any advantage. Every physical confrontation between the two, he felt very hard, this is simply a little beast!
Wallace didn't let him attack with his back at first, but now that he was finally allowed to hit with his back, Zhang Yi immediately felt much more relaxed.
It is not unreasonable for Zhang Yi to like to play back, this style of play can give full play to his physique, coordination and ball sense, even if he does not let him turn around and break through in the direction of the basket, he can also turn around and throw back, he also has this hand technique, although it is not very skillful to use, but at least it is much better than facing the defense.
Soon, relying on his superior physicality and excellent reading of the defense, Wallace found that he could no longer control the little guy and was scored three goals in a row.
"Alright, let's get some rest." Wallace has a preliminary understanding of Zhang Mao's physical fitness, technical characteristics, and basic skills.
At the moment, it seems that these have exceeded his expectations, especially since this little guy's body can be completely equated with a beast. The two had only been fighting for 20 rounds before he was already gasping for air. But this little guy seems to have just warmed up, no wonder Jerry West admires his singles kung fu so much in private, and he has never seen a high school student with such amazing combat power.
