The China Power of NBA

Daben is 36 years old this year. He has won countless honors, won championships, and signed big contracts. Daben, who is at the end of his career, is no longer the same as when he was young. When Bai Xiaofei arrived, his eyes were full of his image from back then.

Big Ben participated in the 1996 NBA Draft, but after two rounds, no team pronounced his name. In their view, this young man with rough skills can do nothing but rebound on the court. No, and his height is only 206 centimeters. It is quite difficult to grab rebounds in the NBA where there are so many people. The young Daben went to Italy to play. After the end of the season, he wanted to rely on his good performance overseas. The NBA team favored him, but he hit a wall again. No team was willing to give him a chance, and Daben fell into a situation where he had no ball to play. When Daben was desperate, he met the No. [-] vitality The nobleman - Wes Unseld, who was the general manager of the Washington Bullets at the time, called Ben and gave him a pre-game training camp contract, even a ten-day short contract in the NBA. They couldn't make it, but Big Ben was still grateful, because it was Unseld who made Big Ben step on the floor of the NBA for the first time.

The second nobleman of Big Ben is Rick Carlisle, the head coach of the Pistons in the 2002-2003 season. Carlisle is a very aggressive and thoughtful head coach who pays attention to perfection in everything. Since he regards Daben as the core, he will not allow Daben to return, at least on the defensive end of the game. Even if there is a little mistake, he patiently guides Daben in every technical link, even every subtle movement, rebounding, blocking, top defense, supplementary defense, interference, going forward, blocking shots, positioning, etc., etc., This is all dirty work that others don't want to do, but under the guidance of Carlisle, Daben has done these things to the extreme. The rebounding ability reached its peak. In that year, Daben averaged 15.4 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game. When selecting the best defensive player of the year, Daben beat Mutombo and took the This laurels.

When Da Ben saw Bai Xiaofei on the court, he seemed to be the same self in his eyes back then. Those who were about to leave all had the same feeling in their hearts, that is inheritance. Compared with winning the championship with the team for 8 minutes, it is more fulfilling to train an outstanding student.

Da Ben patted Bai Xiaofei's buttocks and said,

"Young man, do you want to learn?"

Bai Xiaofei nodded heavily.

Big Ben smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth and said,

"Young man, it's not impossible for me to teach you, but you have to grant me one wish."

"Just tell me, do you want to go to China? No problem, just report my name and make sure you don't know anyone..."

Big Ben shook his head and said with a smile,

"Do you know how long it's been since I scored [-] points in a game? I want to get [-] points tonight, can you grant me that wish?"

"Uh..." Bai Xiaofei turned his head and said, "I'm sure I won't be able to digest what you taught me in a short time, so let's make a discount, you teach me first... a quarter, I It'll get you...a quarter of twenty, well, five points."

Big Ben laughed.

Daben also somewhat likes this humble and humorous young man. Although this kind of humor is called "poor" in China, in China, young people of Bai Xiaofei's age are somewhat "poor", and Bai Xiaofei is no exception.

"Listen well, young man," Da Ben said with a straight face, "Rebounding really depends on excellent physical fitness, but this is not absolute. Another important skill is to judge the rebounding point."

"Where is the rebound?" Bai Xiaofei said, "I know that I need to judge the rebound's landing point. Every time a basketball hits the rim, I will judge the rebound's landing point."

"NONONO," Daben said, shaking his fingers, "In that case, you will be too late. You have to know that on the court, opportunities are fleeting. If you fail to grasp them, it is likely that your opponent will benefit."

Bai Xiaofei nodded.

"It's not when the basketball hits the rim that you judge the rebound, but when they take a shot, like a [-]-point shot, the moment the basketball comes out of their hands, you should judge it. Judging from his shooting angle, shooting height, force used, and shooting habits, whether his shooting is a hit or a hit. If it is the latter, then where will the basketball hit, and where is the rebound? As soon as they start to shoot, there should be an arc of basketball flying in your eyes, that is to say, judging the rebounding point starts from the player's shot!"

"Judging the rebound's landing point from the player's shot! This..." Bai Xiaofei shook his head lightly, "This is too difficult. A thousand people have a thousand ways to shoot. There are many ways to score a missed shot. It’s about judging where the rebound will land from the moment the player makes a shot…”

"There's nothing to make a fuss about!" Big Ben looked at Prince's three-point shot from the outside and said suddenly, "For this shot, the basketball will hit the left eaves of the basket. Fall to the other side! Right here!"

Da Ben ran to the right side of the basket and stuck Bai Xiaofei behind him!
"when!"

Sure enough, Prince's shot hit the left eaves of the basket heavily, and then bounced to the other side of the backboard. Ben, who had already locked his position a second earlier, easily accepted the defensive rebound.

After Daben's analysis, Bai Xiaofei finally understood why Daben, who can't jump high, can't run fast, is not outstanding in height, and even a little short, would receive so many rebounds in his career, but it's easy to say, but it's really hard to do. Daben's success depends on his different talents and acquired research and hard work on rebounding. Compared with Daben, Bai Xiaofei has nothing to show off except his youth.

Paul of the Hornets used West's pick-and-roll to make a mid-range shot. Da Ben suddenly got stuck in front of Bai Xiaofei's eyes and said, "His shot will hit the backboard this time, and then hit the front eaves of the backboard. There will be a goal." There is also the possibility of rebounding, if it is the latter, then the landing point of the rebound is under the basket!"

I was hit by the big book again!

The basketball was designed by Daben. It hit the upper line of the small frame of the backboard, and then hit the eaves of the backboard. In the end, it still missed and fell down. Daben grabbed another offensive rebound and passed it to Hamilton who followed up. , the latter scored two points with a jumper.

Bai Xiaofei stood behind Da Ben, watching helplessly as Da Ben put the rebound into his arms, and then delivered shells to Hamilton.

"Rebound! Bai! You can even grab such a rebound!"

Williams' big mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of shiny front teeth!
"Time is limited, I can only tell you so much, I hope it can help you!"

Stuckey made another three-pointer from the outside!Big Ben reacted immediately and ran towards the left side of the basket!Bai Xiaofei has fully understood at this time, even if he can't judge where the rebound will land, he just needs to follow Da Ben!Generally speaking, compared with Daben, Bai Xiaofei's weight of more than 120 kilograms can still take advantage.

After all, Bai Xiaofei has a considerable age advantage. At the moment Daben started, Bai Xiaofei blocked Daben in three steps and made two steps in parallel, and stuck Daben firmly behind him, looking at the still spinning in the air. playing basketball, I thought to myself,

"This rebound must be mine!"

Unexpectedly, Da Ben suddenly put down Bai Xiaofei and ran to the other side of the backboard, grinning his mouth behind his ears,
"Hey, young man, the rebound is over here!"

Stuckey's shot hit the neck of the basket and bounced to the right. Ben easily received the defensive rebound again and passed it to Prince, who passed it to Hamilton, who scored another two points in the middle.

"Boy, you are still young." Big Ben laughed again.

Bai Xiaofei's face turned red from holding back.

Williams shook his head helplessly.

After three consecutive rounds, Bai Xiaofei's rebound statistics were still zero, which was almost humiliating for a big man with a height of 210 centimeters.

For 48 minutes, Williams yelled "rebound" to Bai Xiaofei on the sidelines for 10 minutes, but finally stopped shouting and sat quietly on the bench off the court. Fei was completely disappointed.

The game between the Pistons and the Hornets was as overwhelming as Daben and Bai Xiaofei. Before the end of the third quarter, the Pistons led by nearly 88 points at 69:28. Daben played 22 minutes and grabbed a season-high [-] points. Rebounds, including nine offensive rebounds, and Bai Xiaofei scored three goals in the opening game, and no points were scored. What is even more glaring is Bai Xiaofei's rebound data-zero.

One minute before the end of the third quarter, the Pistons replaced players. Monroe stood in front of the technical team, ready to replace Ben. The Hornets attacked. Paul rushed to the basket, Hamilton assisted in the defense, and Paul passed the ball to Ali who was ambushing on the baseline. Zha, Ariza catches the ball and shoots from outside the three-point line!
The basketball was flying in the air, at this moment, Bai Xiaofei suddenly shouted,
"Rashed Wallace and Billups are here!"

Rasheed Wallace, Billups, Prince, Hamilton, and Ben Wallace, five of them were the starters for the Pistons in the 2004 championship. They are not only good teammates, but also brothers who love each other. In this battle, Billups, who was traded to the Nuggets, and the retired Rasheed Wallace watched the game from the sidelines, and Big Ben couldn't help but glanced off the court.

No!

There are some reporters outside the venue, how can there be any shadow of those two brothers!

Looking at Bai Xiaofei again, grinning and running towards the right of the basket, while getting ready to grab a rebound, Da Ben immediately understood, what brothers are watching the game live!This is all a trick of the little white fat man in front of him!

Da Ben hurried towards Bai Xiaofei!At the same time, he stretched out his hand, and Da Ben, who was born with supernatural power, directly pushed Bai Xiaofei two meters away. Who knew that Bai Xiaofei didn't love to fight, but ran to the left side of the basket with the help of Da Ben's strength, and the basketball hit the basket. On the left eaves of the basket, Bai Xiaofei jumped up and took the rebound into his arms in the air!
This is Bai Xiaofei's first and only rebound in this game!

And Daben looked at Bai Xiaofei with somewhat expectant eyes. As someone who has been there, Daben knew in his heart that the rebound that Bai Xiaofei grabbed was far more meaningful than the 22 rebounds he grabbed!
