Chapter 153: Jordan's Appreciation
After losing to the Celtics, Zheng Ke practiced his step-back jumper for an hour.
For the magic skill of the backward jumper, Zheng Ke thinks that he has achieved the same shape, and the difference is the fire. In other words, Zheng Ke thinks that the posture he learned from the video is almost done, but he still doesn't have a good grasp of the timing of the jump and the angle of the lean.
This directly leads to Zheng Kekong's mid-range shooting ability value of 90, but the shooting rate is sometimes high and low. Sometimes he finds the feeling, finds the point, and he casts smoothly. For this situation, Zheng Ke asked the team's trainer, and the trainer's advice was just one word:
"Practice."
This is indeed quite an incisive word, the so-called practice makes perfect, water drops wear stones, and mastering a strong back-to-back jump shot in addition to relying on innate conditions, such as body coordination, flexibility, waist and abdomen, etc., also need to be practiced continuously. The trainer said that when you can use the step-back jumper as you want, instead of using it deliberately, this technique can be considered to be practiced to a certain extent.
Zheng Ke is convinced of this.
So in addition to his other normal daily training, he also specially practiced the step-back jumper, and sometimes he would have the trainer hold a long prop to cover his eyes, imitate the "eye-plugging method" that NBA wing defenders like to use, and then conduct shooting drills.
During this time, Anderson quickly integrated into the team.
Whitman really loves and hates Anderson, on the one hand, Anderson's outstanding defensive ability and passionate hot pot can always ignite the team's morale, on the other hand, Anderson's basic ability is too poor, and the number of fouls is high, his image is too attractive, and the referee's attention is often focused on him.
However, after Anderson's arrival, the Timberwolves' progress is also obvious, with the return of Collins, the interior is finally no longer a shortage of major generals, and the Timberwolves won the game against the Pistons on Sunday.
Billups was unrelenting in the face of his old club, shooting 9 of 12 from the field, 3 of 4 from three-point range to score 23 points and 14 assists, and Zheng Ke was no less impressive, with 26 points and 7 rebounds on 10-of-15 shooting and 3-of-5 three-pointers.
On the Pistons' side, Allen Iverson is still alive with 18 points, but the team has lost its soul, and this is a team looking to rebuild, the team has no morale, and the sun is setting. In the face of the energetic Timberwolves, they only resisted the first quarter before disarming and surrendering.
After the game, Zheng Ke also received the news that he was officially selected by the NBA as last week's Western Conference Player of the Week!
In last week's game, Zheng Ke averaged 31.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game, first scoring a career-high 52 points in Denver, and then returning to the home court to fight the 76ers, shooting the killer shot, which can be called a magical performance.
Zheng Ke is actually very strange, he is ready to be nominated again, but he didn't expect to be selected, you must know that their team was bloodbathed by Celtic the day before yesterday. It stands to reason that the best of the week should be awarded to the team that won all of them. However, he was immediately relieved after reading the information, it turned out that there was no team in the West that won all last week, the Lakers, the Rockets and other strong teams have dismounted, if you fight the data, Zheng Ke's data last week is indeed a little gorgeous, and he was so hot last week, it is not surprising that he was elected
Taylor's parents left Minnesota first, and as Taylor's parents, seeing that their daughter had gradually recovered, they also fell a big stone in their hearts.
For Zheng Ke, the "son-in-law", they have already given him an A+ rating in their hearts, this is an excellent husband and an excellent man. What's more, after observing them for so many days, they saw that Zheng Ke was good to Taylor from the bottom of his heart, and they felt that it was enough, not to mention that Zheng Ke had more than this advantage.
Although Taylor is a little reluctant to give up his parents, he feels a little better with Zheng Ke and his son.
In a few games in Zuihou in November, the Timberwolves still played well.
Beat the Suns at home and beat the Thunder away. Even if Zuihou loses to the Nuggets at home and loses the game, it will not be decided until Zuihou has a minute.
The weather in Minnesota is getting colder and colder, and pedestrians on the road are already wearing down jackets, and after entering December, Minnesota ushered in a heavy snowfall, which directly dressed the land in silver.
Minnetonka Lake, not far from Zheng's house, has frozen, which is the best evidence of the drop in temperature.
However, in December, Zheng Ke will not see these wonderful scenery, and he has already boarded the team's special plane to the east, where they will be greeted by an east road trip.
Minnesota is a winter scene, and Charlotte is still in the autumn breeze.
Walking on the city streets of Charlotte, Zheng Ke couldn't help but praise the vastness of the United States. At this point, he remembered his hometown, his motherland, and he remembered a sentence: "I am a wolf from the north, and I became a dog in your south." β
The city of Charlotte has always been a green city, and everywhere you look, there is a lot of green. Although it is an important financial city in the southeastern region of the United States, it does not have the feel of a modern and fashionable city. Zheng Ke walked on the street, and he couldn't see a few people along the way, he observed the style of this second-rate city in the United States with great interest, and the whole person looked very leisurely.
"Drip~Drip~"
Just when Zheng Ke was wearing a peaked cap on his head, sunglasses in his eyes, and his hands in his trouser pockets, a luxury Bentley car or two stopped beside Zheng Ke.
The car window rolled down, revealing a black face that Zheng Ke has been seeing on the video for the past few days - Michael Jordan!
"Hey, lad, do I need to give you a ride?"
Zheng Ke hurriedly took off his sunglasses, if he hadn't seen this face all the time in the past few days, he really wouldn't have recognized it wearing sunglasses. Zheng Ke smiled stiffly and replied politely, "That's my pleasure, Michael." β
The car door opened, and Zheng Ke got inside.
"How's it going, Charlotte isn't bad?"
There was no sense of estrangement when they met for the first time, so Qiao Gang Leader chatted with Zheng Ke familiarly. Zheng Ke was flattered by this kind of old friend-like meeting, Zheng Ke thought about it and replied: It's very good, the people are very welcoming, and the air is very fresh.
"Haha," Jordan Haha smiled, and then said to Zheng Ke with a wink, "Are you Chinese all like this?" That's what Yao answered me last time, haha. β
Zheng Ke laughed dryly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this master's gourd.
After the two of them chatted around the world, Jordan finally talked about basketball: "Your team has been doing well lately!" Seems to be ranked seventh in the West, right? β
"Well, it's not bad," said the team, Zheng Ke came to the spirit, heard Jordan praise the Timberwolves, Zheng Ke proudly raised his head, and said with a slight meaning: "I and my teammates on our team are very combative, and our morale has been high recently." β
Zheng Ke was looked at by Jordan like that, he couldn't help frowning, then stretched his face and said with a smile: "The Timberwolves are indeed very talented, and the team chemistry is good, but you know, you can't win the championship by relying on these alone." β
βweishenmeοΌβ Almost subconsciously, Zheng Ke asked this sentence.
"It's simple, because the Timberwolves don't have a superstar!"
No superstars! This sentence was like a deafening bell, echoing in Zheng Ke's mind for a long time. After half a sound, Zheng Ke came back to his senses, revealing a strange expression, as if he was dissatisfied and did not believe it.
Jordan seemed to see what Zheng Ke was thinking, he put his hands behind his head, leaned back in his seat, and said slowly: "I know, you must think I'm talking nonsense." But you know, everything I say comes from the heart. You're averaging 23 points, 8 rebounds and all that nice stats per game, but in my eyes, you're still not getting to the point of being a superstar. β
"You've got all the makings of a superstar now, perfect physicality, top shooting touch and a great sense of teamwork. However, you don't have the opportunity to put these things together, and real superstars, like Tim Duncan, like Shaquille O'Neal, they all have a lot of dominance, and if you want to be a superstar, you need to hone your jishu to a point where you can dominate the game. β
Zheng Ke looked at Jordan suspiciously, thinking that this guy wouldn't be fooling me, he thought about it, his ability rating is only 87 now, if it is raised to more than 95, then he is not a superstar, why do you need these things?
Jordan still gushes: "Historically, there have been very few teams that have won a championship without a superstar. Especially after restricting the hand movements when defending in the past few years, it is inevitable that outside players will dominate the league, and in this case, I think you need a good teacher to guide you systematically! I heard you're working on a step-back jumper? β
After speaking, Jordan stilted Erlang's legs, the meaning is already obvious, worship me as a teacher!
