super small forward

Chapter 555 555. Who are you talking about?
Yes, Aldridge is not wrong at all. If he stays in Los Angeles for a while like Monroe, he doesn’t talk about stationing, and he doesn’t have to take the initiative to find Kupchak. Puchak will soon use the method of letting Liu Ren take the blame when he signed Monroe to Aldridge.

But the key is that Monroe took the initiative to tell Kupchak that he wanted to go to the Lakers, and Aldridge didn't reveal any signs of wanting to go to the Lakers!
As for Bi Yongbo, the Hornets gave it away for nothing. Why not exchange the 333 million rubbish contract for an inside coolie who Liu Ren wants to partner with.

Just like raising Thackeray, Liu Ren's best brother in the team, so that Liu Ren can play steadily, Bi Yongbo's 300 million a year has similar effects.

And Kupchak is a bit superstitious, he is superstitious that the teammates that Liu Ren wants are all high-quality goods...

……

……

Liu Ren has already started systematic training.

In view of the fact that Liu Ren has a strong advantage in the four positions from point guard to power forward, and next season the Lakers' insiders are already full to the point of explosion, and there is no need to play power forward from time to time like last season, so the training The teacher asked him to stop his strength training and focus on physical fitness and joint muscle protection.

This couldn't be better for Liu Ren.

Liu Ren's technical development is relatively slow. Except for shooting, other skills are basically the same as when he first crossed over. This is because he has increased his weight and strength training in the past two offseasons. In that case, it is necessary to maintain shooting training. Steady growth has been very hard, and there is no time to figure out new skills. Now I can finally develop new offensive postures.

In fact, although Liu Ren won the scoring title last season, many experts still question whether his scoring ability is really enough to average more than 35 points per game. Most people think that he is invincible with the Lakers of light.

There are several scoring methods that Liu Ren is best at now.

The first and most used one is the catch and shoot after running, and the range is good, with a good shooting percentage from the mid-range to the three-point line.

The Lakers have Green, Antetokounmpo, and Gasol as support points, and two of them are always on the court. Liu Ren, who has a good sense of movement, has many opportunities to catch and shoot.

The second offensive technique is to cut into the basket without the ball and hit the basket. The efficiency is already the best among outside players. Except for James, a guy with an extremely abnormal shooting rate inside, he is not the other outside line. opponents, even stronger than most insiders.

These two routines are Liu Ren's offensive methods that scored more than [-]% of the points last season, and they are also the most criticized by those experts.

These two styles of play are off-the-ball styles, good running positions and accurate shooting will do well. Of course, it is impossible for others to achieve Liu Ren's score, but in the end it will give others a feeling that he just relies on three organizations. The impression that players can only get so many points by passing the ball.

In addition to these two most commonly used styles of play that are most suitable for the team's tactical system, Liu Ren has several other scoring methods.

The first is the second offense. His offensive rebounds are good. Last season, Whiteside, Antetokounmpo, and Gasol grabbed so many rebounds. Liu Ren can still get seven or eight rebounds per game. , Half of them are offensive rebounds. As for the lack of defensive rebounds, it is because Whiteside and Green are too good at grabbing.

The second is mid-range and inside face-to-face singles. His inside throws and mid-range throws are good and he rushes to the basket and dunks after shaking others away.

Then there's the crappy post-up, which works well at times.

There is also the strong attack with the ball, which is Liu Ren's strongest personal offense. It is very lethal and easy to attract double-teams, but it is not used frequently because the Lakers play team basketball.

However, the team basketball of the Lakers makes others feel very strange. They can maintain the team's scoring average and at the same time make Liu Ren such a scoring champion...

The rest is all kinds of swaying jump shots, there are threats, when they are accurate, they are accurate, and when they are not accurate, they are iron.

After listing all his scoring methods on the signature board, Liu Ren also began to understand the goal of his training.

Shooting in close range is very important. It is said that mid-range is an awkward position with low efficiency, but Liu Ren thinks that close-range is the most awkward position, and some people say that mid-range embarrassment is a reasonable The places outside the collision zone are considered as the middle distance, in fact, it needs to be divided a little more finely.

The center forward of the opponent stays in the position where the maximum range can be defended on the reasonable collision zone line, that is, close range. This distance is actually the position that really lowers the shooting rate of mid-range shots. Jump shots in this position are too easy to be interfered. It is too easy to be blocked if you want to continue to kill inside.

So if you can practice the shooting accuracy and throwing shots, hooks and other skills in this position, it will be beautiful.

Liu Ren thought of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shot his opponent to death at a distance where the opponent could barely defend but did not dare to defend completely, and then won the historical scoring champion!

But the sky hook, it doesn’t mean that if you can hook your hands, you will be a sky hook, or if you hook your hands farther away, you will be a sky hook. Liu Ren just found out that Jabbar’s hook is different from others when watching the video. The point, the key is that the other party can't interfere at all!
This kind of thing is the same as Olajuwon's dream footsteps. It seems to be the same, but I practiced it according to the practice. Then it was too powerful, and Nowitzki said that he had been figuring out the skyhook for 18 years, but he still couldn't use it well.

But even if I teach myself, it may not be reliable. Olajuwon has retired for more than ten years, and he has opened countless training camps. Many players went to pay the tuition fees that are not cheap. In the end, there were only Yao Ming and Kobe. Learned.

And Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook... No one has learned it since he retired.

But comparatively speaking, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook is easier to learn than Olajuwon. The magician used the sky hook to make a lore at the beginning, and the reason why the sky hook is lost until now is largely because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar does not open training. Battalion, also occasionally coach the Lakers center.

Then the Lakers' three recent top centers O'Neal, Bynum, and Howard have not learned.

Bynum was unable to train due to constant injuries all year round, and he was still talking about practicing sky hooks. He lost weight as soon as he recovered, and then got injured again after playing for a long time.

Both O'Neal and Howard have no shooting ability.

However, Liu Ren is still very interested in Tiangou. In the future when everyone will shoot three-pointers, a small forward like him with inside singles will be very prominent. They are also affected. At this time, a small forward with an inside hook will definitely be very different.

If you want to dominate the NBA, how can you not have something different from others?

And the Skyhook technique is really practical!A little more offensive skill is never a bad thing.

Liu Ren is going to put aside dreamy footsteps first. If he gets too greedy, he can't chew it. He wants to strengthen his shooting bag first, and then strengthen his footsteps.

So Liu Ren was going to look for Kareem, but he didn't have Kareem's contact information. It can even be said that he hadn't seen Kareem for so many years. The magician occasionally came to point out LaVine and Clarkson with a smile. Kareem It is said that since Howard was angry at the beginning, he was unwilling to come to the Staples Center again.

At the beginning, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was eager to teach Howard, the league's No. [-] center who had just been traded, the sky hook, but Howard just couldn't learn it!
I couldn’t make free throws, practice hooks... In short, Howard declined the fact that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wanted to teach him the sky hook, which made Kareem feel ashamed. He hasn’t been to Staples in the past two years. Center up.

And Liu Ren was a small shrimp before Howard left the Lakers. A famous person like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hadn't even spoken to him. Liu Ren hadn't seen Kareem Abdul-Jabbar since he came to this time and space.

But it doesn't matter, there is always someone. Liu Ren found Abdul-Jabbar's old teammate, the current general manager of the Lakers, Mediterranean bald Mitch Kupchak, and talked about it.

Kupchak's reaction made Liu Ren feel very strange.

"Boss, do you want to learn the hook? Mark (assistant coach Mark Madsen) has a very good hook. You can practice with him." Kupchak said.

That short, curly-haired white man with the often fierce face is now the team's defensive assistant?
It is said that they are defensive assistants, that is to say, the offense is not very good. Liu Ren also checked the background of these assistants in his team and found that Mark Madsen was very active and energetic. Then he was the Lakers in 01. The selected player is also a Californian. He grew up in Los Angeles and is very popular in the local area. That's why he has been working as an assistant coach for the Lakers just like Naihu.

In view of the fact that Mark Madsen often guides the rookie players who have just entered the NBA in the team's shooting movements and other things, Liu Ren believes that he may have a real talent problem that caused the highest career scoring average of only 6 points when he was a player, so Liu Ren asked Kupchak with black lines all over his head: "You said that Mark and I practice hooks at close range, will he make half as many shots as me?"

Kupchak thought for a while, it seemed that Mark Madsen was going to teach Liu Ren how to shoot... It seemed that there was something wrong with it. This kind of assistant's movements may be very standard, but that's just the standard of movement. They have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but really When it comes time to teach others, you can only teach one movement, and you still have to practice the rest by yourself.

Moreover, if you are not a real master of a certain technology, you don’t know how to grasp the details. If you only know the movements and practice, you will be like Nowitzki. After 18 years of practice, you still only Can continue to study his own golden rooster and give up the sky hook independently, which is very suitable for his kind of floor flow insider.

"Okay, I was joking just now, but boss, if you want to learn the skyhook, I really don't recommend you to find Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Although there are not many superstars with good hooks, I still know a few." Kupp Cheek still didn't want Liu Ren to go to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to learn how to hook, and he didn't say why.

"Mickey, do you mean a magician? It seems good to learn from him! Then let's be a magician!" Liu Ren didn't pick anything, anyway, he was just beginning to learn, and it would be enough if someone who was really proficient in this technique taught him how to get started. .

If you don't talk about it, Liu Ren can only practice on his own like he did when he first learned to throw, and then he practiced hitting the board in a weird way...

"No, no, the magician has been a little busy recently, and he may not be free for the entire offseason. I will introduce you to another guy who is very good at hooks. You have the same physical advantage as him. Skyhooks may not be so suitable for you. , but a small hook is perfect for you," Kupchak replied.

What the hell?Not a magician either?Who else on the Lakers will hook up?What the hell is a little hook?Could it be the Cobra Worthy who dunked the Statue of Liberty?Liu Ren said that he had never heard of Worthy hooking hands?And the hook is just a hook, what is a small hook?
Kupchak continued: "If you really want to learn the small hook, he is very happy to teach you. You must know that he is your big fan, and you are really suitable to learn some of his style of play."

"Suitable for me? Who is he?" Liu Ren asked curiously.

"Shaq O'Neal..."

"Who are you talking about?"
