Chapter 283: Olajuwon's Training Session
Comment on the winning players and coaches.
A couple of All-Stars are reserved for the time being, and we'll talk about that later.
Elton Brand, 2.06 meters tall, power forward, the top pick in the '99 draft, has replaced Tony Kukoc, shouldered the Bulls' beams, and the future "captain" is still relatively immature.
Eddie Jones, 1.91 meters tall, was once called "Pippen's successor", and Kobe Bryant has been for a long time, but after entering the NBA, Kobe Bryant has improved rapidly, but he has stood still.
Steve Francis, 1.91 meters tall, guard, the star of the '99 draft, was traded to the Rockets because he refused to report to the Grizzlies, and successfully replaced Olajuwon as the new boss of the Rockets.
Jalen Rose, one of the former NCAA "Michigan Five," has established himself as the starting small forward with the Pacers.
Rodney Rodgers, a kite-type power forward who likes to shoot from the outside, surpassed Reggie Miller for the first time in 11 years for the Pacers to win the inside scoring title......
Doug Rivers, the former All-Star point guard of the Hawks, the rookie coach who coached the Magic this season, lit the torch of the Amway Center with a 50% win rate, and is the fifth head coach in NBA history to win the "Reed-Auerbach Trophy" in his first season in charge. Unfortunately, the team's boss, Durant Hill, fell again and stopped at the playoff threshold.
On April 24, after returning from vacation, Usilis flew directly to Houston alone and stayed at a private villa in Olajuwon.
During the vacation, Ussie slept with Catherine and Xiaoqian all the time, but they were hypnotized by the romantic atmosphere of the heart of the ocean, and they never had a relationship.
Catherine was also persuaded by Ussy to join the Hilton Sisters Investment Company and directly became the general manager.
Xiaoqian was also persuaded by Ussy to go to New York to receive model training to find the Hilton sisters, and was ready to go on the runway and be a fashionable and self-reliant woman in the new era.
Marc Frederick returned to New York alone and began to work on a large number of preliminary negotiations for commercial endorsements.
Everyone is busy and down-to-earth.
The Rockets missed the playoffs, and Olajuwon stayed in his indoor training gym in a very low-key manner, instructing the big men who came to ask for advice and learning, including: current NBA players, new season draft players. Of course, this is charged by the hour, and the price is very expensive, $3,000 an hour, no discount.
The old-timers in the NBA are like this, or open a personal training gym, or become a personal trainer, or go to the coaching chair, or be a sports host, and enrich the life of the sunset.
After paying a tuition fee, Usiris began a hard personal training session under the guidance of Olajuwon.
Olajuwon often engages in 12-minute bullfights with Usi, using actual combat to train Usi's abilities in all aspects.
In recent times, Ewing, Alonzo-Mourning, and Mutombo, the three senior brothers are all fighting for the playoffs and can't find time; And Bill Russell and George Gervin are completely out of action.
Naturally, the local media in Houston were everywhere, reporting the incident non-stop, setting off a collective cheer from local fans.
Olajuwon gave Usiris a big lesson and a lot of admonitions.
The first point is that Usi likes to look at the opponent's thighs, and his personal habit of breaking through the defense must be corrected.
There are too many players in the NBA who are good at shooting in the open position, and the strategy of preventing breakouts and shooting will definitely not work, and it is easy to be completely blown up by opponents.
Reggie Miller's open shooting ability is definitely the first in the NBA, almost 100 shots; Ray Allen's jumper is also a must, and as long as he opens up a step of space, few people can cover it. On any NBA team, there are at least two veterans who are good at shooting from the open spot, and once they seize the opportunity, they can cause you problems or even a fatal blow.
In addition, when Usyris and Maddy were fighting, they always allowed Maddy's jump shot, which was absolutely limited by the head coach in the official NBA game.
Usiris averaged 27.3 points, 14.2 assists, 13.4 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, and 2.9 steals per game in the NCAA.
The second point: in the NBA, the head coach never asks the big guys to steal, because the number of steals is so small that although it can suppress the opponent for a while, it can distract the attention.
In the 99-00 season, the steal king, with an average of only 2.7 per game, although the personal data is very good-looking, it cannot be a magic weapon for the team to maintain long-term wins.
The third point is that blocking is an extremely dangerous job, always jumping around in close range of the opponent, and once you get a lot of malicious fouls, hehe, you know.
Although the era of villains such as Bill Ranbier and others is history, their personal training halls are full every day.
In order to win an important game, all the head coaches of the NBA did not hesitate to suggest that the bench bandits would kill the killer, which is very different from the NCAA.
The NBA is a hunting ground for talent, and the bench bandits who can survive are either sharp in open shots, desperate and dirty defensively, solid enough to pass and rarely make mistakes, or interior shields that block and cover. I can't play any kind of street ball or something.
For an ordinary player, if he doesn't dare to use malicious fouls, even if he has 10 minutes of gorgeous statistics, he can't escape the fate of wandering.
Especially the old birds of the NBA, they have all been brilliant, and now they are using one hand to mix a bite of food. If you humiliate them face-to-face many times, they will not hesitate to send you to the hospital.
There are many jumping men who stand out from the draft every year, and they are basically abolished by malicious fouls every two or three years. Therefore, it is safest and smartest to jump from the side to avoid being maliciously fouled.
The fourth point: physical problems. The regular season is about 170 days and 82 games. Heavy competitions, individual training, team drills, traveling all over the United States on planes and buses, plus business activities, private life, etc., are really tiring. At all times, you must learn to control your love impulses and learn to conserve energy in order to avoid injuries due to fatigue, so as to ensure a longer career.
Most of the time, the cause of injury of professional players is excessive fatigue, and the body reaction in the game cannot keep up, half a beat faster, and is knocked down by the bench bandits who come on the bench on the opposing side.
Therefore, safe and intelligent offensive and defensive routines, long-lasting and strong physical strength, and flexible steps are the ultimate magic weapons to survive in the NBA. (To be continued.) )
