In the training hall at the Toyota Center, Leylin met Olajuwon again.

Compared with the first time he saw Olajuwon, Leylin's mood at this time seemed much calmer, but he still couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

"Hakim, it's nice to see you again! It's also an honor to have your advice! ”

Leylin stretched out his hands and took Olajuwon's big hand, which shook and shook there.

As one of the four centers in the 90s, Olajuwon had an enviable fantasy dance on the offensive end and an intimidating excellent blocking skill on the defensive end.

Being able to get Olajuwon's guidance, even if it can't be fully inherited, can improve his deterrence under the basket.

For a Raelin who has only played a dozen games, the excitement is understandable.

"Young man, there's no need to be so excited, I'm also human, I can do it, as long as you put your heart into it, you can do it too!"

Olajuwon may have been accustomed to Raylin's excitement, so he was not too surprised.

"I heard you learned a bit about capping with DiCambe?"

walked to the sideline with a basketball, walked back to the court again, and looked at Lei Lin with a smile.

"How about it, do you have the confidence to cover me one!"

"Come on, man, you can do it!"

Seeing that Leylin was stunned, Olajuwon shouted again, and then directly pulled Leylin to the basket.

"If one day, Olajuwon tells you that you can block his shot, what would be your first reaction? I don't know when other people hear this question. What comes to mind? My answer is that if you say I can do it, I will definitely do it! You say I can't. I can do it too! ”

There is such a sentence in "Lei Lin's Autobiography", which describes Lei Lin's inner activities at that time.

Strong self-confidence is evident in an instant.

As for whether Leylin can do it or not, only Olajuwon and Leylin and God know.

……

"Phew, you're so much worse than I thought!"

After completing a few confrontations with Leylin, Olajuwon frowned and looked at Leylin with a solemn face. Said mercilessly. Of course, in the face of Leylin, he can leave no mercy.

Rumble!

At the time when Olajuwon said this. It was as if a nuclear explosion had occurred in Leylin's mind, and it instantly erased Thunderlin's remaining self-confidence.

But don't be discouraged! Diligence can make up for clumsiness, which has been confirmed by Yao's body. You have better physical qualities than Yao. I believe that as long as you persevere, you definitely don't have to be Yaocha! ”

The main reason Olajuwon values Leylin is his excellent physical attributes and his excellent footwork under the basket. Olajuwon believes that with his tutelage, Leylin will be able to impress next season. He also knew that Leylin's foundation was very poor, but he thought it should be similar to that kid in Orlando, but he didn't expect it to be much worse than that kid in Orlando.

Leylin didn't know if it was Olajuwon comforting him, or if he meant it.

Either way, Olajuwon's words saved Raelin's self-confidence.

"Am I really that bad?"

Long. Leylin glanced up at Olajuwon.

Olajuwon looked at Leylin's expectant eyes, and finally nodded.

"Yes. Worse than I thought! ”

"So do you still teach me?"

When Olajuwon said that, Leylin was thinking more about whether he could continue to study by Olajuwon's side.

Even if it's bad now, it doesn't matter much, and Leylin believes that he will be able to improve himself soon by learning from Olajuwon.

"Allright, Ray, let's not talk about that yet! Can you tell me a little bit about what you mean by center? ”

Olajuwon did not answer Raelin's question head-on, but pulled Raelin to sit directly under the basket.

"Center?"

Listening to Olajuwon's question, Leylin frowned directly, thought for a while and shook his head.

He never thought about that, and he was under the impression that the tallest man on the pitch was the centre-forward.

He also believes that many people in China do not think about these issues, because in their lives, basketball is just an amateur activity, which can be used for fitness and can also be used to attract the attention of girls.

"Hehe, can you talk about the role of the center on the court?"

"Protect rebounds and defense."

After saying it without thinking, Leylin looked directly at Olajuwon, and it wasn't until a smile appeared on Olajuwon's face that Leylin breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, but it's not very comprehensive!"

Raelin frowned again, then stared at Olajuwon, apparently wondering what the center forward was supposed to do.

"Traditionally, the role of a center is to protect rebounds and defend under the basket. Ben Wallace and Di Cambe are both icons of traditional centers, who tend to score rarely on the court, but they have also become the league's hottest players, or indispensable players, because of their tough defense and excellent rebounding ability, because their defense and rebounding are the basic guarantee of a team's victory. ”

What does the traditional center look like?

And what about the center in the modern sense?

After listening to Olajuwon talk about the traditional center forward, these two questions immediately popped up in his mind, and then immediately looked at Olajuwon, obviously he needs Olajuwon to continue to popularize.

Looking at Lei Lin's serious appearance, Olajuwon nodded imperceptibly, he was not dissatisfied with Lei Lin, what he needed was that Lei Lin could calm down and strengthen his basic training.

After taking a sip of water, Olajuwon continued.

"I'm sure you've also found a pattern that in a team, often the tallest person is the best person in the coach's mind as a center forward, and of course, Chuck is a special case."

Hearing Olajuwon mention Hayes, Leylin smiled.

Indeed, because of his height, Lei Lin became the center of the school team, but before he had time to participate in the official competition, he was directly persuaded to retire by the school.

"Because of the height, the center is closer to the basket! The closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score, so centers are not only responsible for protecting rebounds and defending in the team, but more often than not, scoring is their first priority. For example, me, and Yao, both have a very important scoring responsibility in the team. ”

Lei Lin nodded as if he didn't understand, and continued to listen, he never noticed the details on it.

"So the most basic requirements of a center are rebounding, defending and scoring. From this point of view, your performance with the Rockets is remarkable, but when you attack, the means are a little rough, the defense is a little frizzy, and the rebounding is a little immature. ”

Olajuwon's series of comments made Lei Lin a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head in shame.

"But as a center, it's not easy to score under the basket."

Olajuwon's point of view is very much in favor of Raylin.

The baptism of more than 20 games has given Leylin a deep understanding of the word basket.

It's not just muscle sticks, but also a wealth of small movements that Leylin can't imagine.

"So, if you want to be a good center, you have the following options!" (To be continued......)

PS: It's a change!

The hotel is gone, so you can only change the day!

Maybe I'm getting married in a month!

I never thought that getting married would be so annoying! Truth be told, getting married is not easy!

I also hope that the brothers who are in love will enjoy the joy of love quickly!

Go see the suit tomorrow!
