The twelfth episode, Yao Ming beat me up again and again
"Wang, I don't know what you think in your heart, and I don't know what you did when you were in China, but the 10-day short-term contract you were given was not to make the team look good, not because you were standing behind you, we needed someone to stand up to prevent blocking and demolition, and we needed an inside villain"
Wang hurriedly stood in front of him, and McHale also told him that the Rockets originally wanted to recruit a big man from the Development League, but now they chose Wang Xiaoer, "So, you are already squatting on the pit, you have the final say on whether you or not"
"Coach, that has to be pulled!" Wang Xiaoer said seriously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"If you want to pull a little rougher, you have to ask Howard" Mo Tai's voice was not loud, but it happened to catch up with everyone who didn't speak, just now McHale teased Wang Xiaoer, everyone was very happy to listen to it, but the coach said this, embarrassed to laugh, Mo Tai came like this, and couldn't hold it back.
"Howard?" McHale saw everyone laughing, and wondered how he didn't know.
"Coach, don't listen to his nonsense, I will urge Wang Xiaoer to practice defense hard, in fact, his low-post defense is not bad"
"I'll rub it, have you really tried?" Ariza said again, and the team meeting ended in laughter.
Harden and Howard are the two leaders of this team, but they lead the team in different ways, Harden usually mingles with everyone, likes to say what he wants, he has a keen sense of the court, and he is familiar with the positioning habits of each teammate on the offensive end. And Howard is like everyone's big brother, he will occasionally play treasure, but more often he focuses on his work and hopes that others will do the same, Wang Xiaoer knows that the previous Howard was notoriously "irresponsible" and a "big boy", the media reported so, in just two days, he found that this is not the case, as for Howard has changed, or the media deliberately hacked him, this is not understandable.
After the afternoon locker room dinner, Howard asked Wang Xiaoer, "Do you want to practice?"
Wang Xiaoer definitely didn't want to, because after his teammates went to take a shower, he went to the power room, and the team's physical trainer formulated a strength training schedule for the regular rotation players in the team, Wang Xiaoer is not a regular lineup, and he is a newcomer, he didn't give him a form, and he was embarrassed to make people feel that he had a lot of things, and in the end he and the team's second-round pick Harrell didn't have their own form, he borrowed Jones's form, because he felt that the two people were in the same position and weighed about the same. After the whole set of actions, he couldn't wait to go back to the hotel to sleep without taking a shower. So he didn't answer Howard right away, but looked at him thoughtfully.
"If you want to go further, you can't rely on strength alone" patted him on the shoulder, didn't say more, walked back to his cupboard, he wanted to leave room for Wang Xiaoer to decide for himself, but also revealed to Wang Xiaoer, that's right, I saw your efforts.
"Well, I have to let you know that China is not only Yao Ming who can clean you up"
"Haha, let you know how good I am" Then, Howard looked at the door with a hippie face, "Yao Ming didn't come, buddy?" ”
It turned out that there was also Motai who came to practice together, and he was curious why Jones didn't come, Jones is the team's starting power forward, which makes no sense? Without waiting for him to ask, Howard opened his mouth and said, "Jones is not interested in this kind of practice, he likes that all the data he does can be reflected" As soon as he said this, Wang Xiaoer understood, which coincided with his feeling when he watched the live broadcast, Jones was more "alone"
"What about Canberra?"
"Is this something that can only be known between the three of us?" Howard raised his hand and put his index finger against his lips, Wang Xiaoer knew that the next words must be gossip, gossip is good, it can shorten the distance between people.
"I suspect Canberra has anxiety, not Royce. White's kind, it's not that serious, but it doesn't seem to keep him from focusing for a long time, and I don't know if he'll ever have a chance to play as a starter in his life and provide 20 minutes of basket protection for the team."
No wonder, Wang Xiaoer muttered in his heart, defensive training in the afternoon, Canberra is sometimes like a big spider, you are impermeable, sometimes you just do it to defend, after Wang Xiaoer scored a layup in front of him, he immediately looked nervous, and patted his head in annoyance, "It turns out that the IQ card is in arrears from time to time, I thought he deliberately sarcastically mocked me and looked down on me" He thought.
At the beginning of the practice, Wang Xiaoer followed Howard and Mo Tai to do several sets of offensive moves, first ate in a low position, turned around and hooked his hand, this action Mo Tai is very skilled, he almost hit every shot, Wang Xiaoer was ridiculed by Howard when he hooked his hand, saying that he danced on one foot like a ballet dancer, Howard's hook hand viewing is not high, but he has absolute strength, and eating those two times can ensure that he gets to the most advantageous position.
After that, it was a tentative step to break through to the basket, which is Howard's forte, when no one defends, he only does the action, and he doesn't seem to see the difference, because Wang Xiaoer can also do this action very slippery. And finally the mid-range shooting, Howard naturally lost to Wang Xiaoer in this project, and he didn't care, and threw down the sentence "Brother doesn't rely on this to eat".
After practicing without confrontation, the three of them sat on the sidelines and rested for a while, Wang Xiaoer thought of a question that he had been wondering about for a long time, and he saw that Howard was in a good mood, so he went there to find the answer.
"You played against Yao Ming, what do you think of him, at that time the discussion about who was the first center forward was quite hot in China"
"I know, Howard was still with the Magic at the time, and I had to watch every time they played against the Rockets," Motel seemed to be interested in the issue.
"Well, he can up every time," Howard said with a wry smile, "and of course I mean that he was in his prime, before he was injured, and he lost his mobility after he was injured."
Wang Xiaoer didn't expect that Howard, who felt full of confidence, would say that he was completely blown up, and he was going to use this to stimulate Howard, but when he said it himself, he couldn't help but feel respect.
"You're stronger than him, faster than him, bounce well, why.."
"Please, I'm stronger than him?" Howard interrupted Wang Xiaoer's words, "Dude, you're wrong, you're talking about explosiveness, you give me a meter of space, I'll dunk you, you give Yao Ming a meter, he can't get up fast, he can still shoot, but that's explosiveness, not absolute power"
"You're not as good as Yao Ming in bench press?" Motel asked
"It's not a problem with the upper limbs, have you seen his big thick legs? I want to sit in with him, do you know what it feels like? It's like a wall, he doesn't move, to be honest, O'Neill after the peak is not as stable as him" Howard was interested, and he also stood up to simulate the action of the two confrontations.
"Later, Big Van Gundy told me that using my speed, in short, the effect is stronger than hitting him in the back, but it is still not as efficient as him hitting me, I want to break through him in the frame, but he knows that I am not blue, he shrinks inside, and will only release half of his body to prevent me from accelerating the dunk, buddy! He 230! I can't get rid of half of my body in front of me."
"I want to be that tall!" Wang Xiaoer broke out, on weekdays in China, he couldn't get used to those who boasted Yao Ming, but when he went abroad, Yao Ming suddenly became cordial, he liked to listen to people talk about him, especially Howard.
"With that height, can you have that feel? He doesn't just rely on his height" Howard ran to the court and waved his hand, "Come on, let my brother abuse you!" ”
