Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 24 24. Master, can I go out of the mountain?

After 5 home games, the Thunder's schedule came to a three-game streak.

Rockets, Nets, Pacers.

The four-game losing streak at home has plunged the team into a whirlpool of public opinion.

The outside firepower is not enough, the head star Westbrook is too lonely, the team's lineup is not deep enough, etc. The news is overwhelming.

Donovan was never impressed.

Westbrook has not been convinced, how to fight or how to fight.

20 shots per game is rare, averaging 30+ triple-doubles per game is scary, ranking first in scoring and assists.

They are so stubborn with each other, let's see who crushes who in the end.

Is public opinion crushing Westbrook, or data crushing public opinion.

After a week of fitness and weight gain, Richard's body became a little thicker, and the lines of his muscles gradually appeared, at least he no longer looked thin.

Physical strength also comes with improved fitness and increased trainable intensity.

There will be no muscle tingling after a day of ironing.

But along with this, the feel of shooting has also been changing, weight changes, strength is changing, and the feeling of take-off height is changing. Of course, shooting must also change.

So although he practiced very hard, Richard's step-back shooting percentage was still not very high, and the three-point accuracy did not rise but fell a little, returning to 80 again.

Why do you feel so bad?If you spend money to buy this, it will cost more than 2 yuan.

Richard temporarily saved the money, not daring to spend it all at once to buy training points.

Who knows if he will be fined for inexplicable things again, it can't be that someone surnamed Westbrook pays the fine for him every time.

The progress is also quite obvious. Richard's current six circumferences have changed a lot.

Strength: 74/85.

Speed: 77/92.

Skill: 70/96.

Bounce: 71/88.

Two-point shooting accuracy: 75/94.

Three-point shooting accuracy: 80/90.

Average: 75/95.

Medals: "Strong-willed", "The sun at four o'clock in the morning".

Richard once again lamented the power of the medal, and attributed his high training efficiency and rapid improvement to the "sun at four o'clock in the morning".

And now the six circles are more balanced, and the score has reached a relatively good substitute state.

If you want to activate all talents, it has already reached 25 minutes, and you can play almost a full quarter, including timeouts.

It is estimated that by the end of this November, my score can reach 11 or more, and my weight can reach a normal level, so I can meet the needs of the coach.

After the opening mobilization, the Thunder players first entered the field and waited for the home team players to enter the field. Richard was very used to sitting in the last position of the bench, the seat known as the "water dispenser administrator".

"Li Cha, sit here." Donovan called Richard to a seat in front of the coach.

Then sat beside Richard.

Pointing to the Rockets players who are playing, said: "Do you know James Harden?"

Nonsense, then who can not know!
"His step-back three-pointer is his signature skill. If you watch his movements carefully, it will help you." Following Donovan's fingers, the bearded man jumped out of the player channel to greet his teammates, and then danced around.

This ecstasy dance is indeed a lot of nightclubs.

"Good coach, I will take a serious look." Richard's heart relaxed, and he almost thought that he was going to be arranged to play.

The game between the Thunder and the Rockets was inextricably linked.

In this game, the Thunder strengthened their outside firepower. Oladipo took the lead, firing continuously from outside the three-point line, and the hit rate was also very high.

Westbrook, as always, rushed into the inside to cause damage, relying on breakthroughs and free throws to score points.

Both scored 30 points, leading the Thunder to a narrow victory over the Rockets and ending the team's four-game losing streak.

It also allowed the media to once again suspend their criticism of the Thunder.

Harden’s performance in this game was mediocre. He made 16 of 4 shots and 5 of 1 from beyond the three-point line. The shooting percentage will be 25%.

Richard still only played 5 minutes and scored 2 points on 1 of 3 shots.

After the game, Richard discovered a new ability of his own - eye defense.

Otherwise, how can you stare at whoever sees and the hit rate will drop.

Donovan also lost face, and didn't say anything to Richard on the way back.

After returning to Oklahoma, Richard also quickly found a lot of videos of Harden. He didn't think of it before, but now the coach has reminded himself that it is natural to study Harden's step-back technique.

After staying up all night and watching for half the night, Richard summed up a little bit of experience.

For example, if the intention of breaking through is true, it requires the body to press forward, the range of dribbling must be large, and the supporting feet must be strong, etc.

Of course, you can't learn to take an extra step with your non-supporting feet. You must know that a certain superstar in a certain year learned Harden's retreat three-pointer and was blown away, but Harden would not.

With more detailed teaching videos, Richard's confidence has doubled, and he is even more powerful in practicing this skill.

On November 11, the Thunder set out for New York again to challenge the Brooklyn Nets away.

The Nets are at the bottom of the league in strength at this time, and it shouldn't be a big problem to win the game.

Before the game, Richard was once again called aside by Donovan.

"Coach, after I went back, I carefully watched James' video and learned his offensive skills. He..." Richard quickly handed in his homework.

The corners of Donovan's mouth twitched as he listened to Richard finish a lot of technical analysis and practical application, his expression was a bit ugly.

"Stop! Stop...stop..." Richard's words were almost ready to write an analysis paper, so Donovan had to interrupt Richard.

"It's good that you watched the video, and now I've called you to give you a message."

Richard's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately relaxed. He had less than 6 minutes left to play, how could he compress it, and he fell out of the rotation again.

I have gotten used to it, and in the long run, I have been hidden for a while, and my mentality has indeed calmed down a lot. I know my position. I have only played 12 games in the whole season, and there are still opportunities.

"I will arrange a rotation time of about 12 minutes for you in today's game. You have to make good use of it." Donovan didn't care about the fluctuating expression on Richard's face, and he wanted to finish speaking quickly and leave after being upset by Richard.

Every time I talk to Richard, uncontrollable things always happen, which is really strange.

"Okay, thank you coach, I will perform well..." Richard's voice became smaller and smaller, and then...

How is it different from what you imagined?
"Coach, you said I can play for 12 minutes?" Richard's voice suddenly rose sixteen degrees.

Donovan looked at his rotation schedule, and thought about it seriously, and he was right, "Yeah, I said about 12 minutes, the final amount depends on the situation on the court..."

"Thank you, coach!" Richard jumped up happily, holding Donovan's hand in a circle.

The various document forms that Donovan was holding were scattered all over the floor.

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Richard quickly let go of his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry coach, I'm sorry coach, I'm so excited... I'll pick it up for you."

He squatted down and gathered all the documents together, regardless of whether they were positive or negative, or whether they were arranged in order.

After collecting all the documents and handing them back to Donovan, Richard asked again: "Coach, do you really allow me to go out?"

After asking, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared nervously at Donovan's mouth.

Donovan didn't understand the meaning of the word out of the mountain. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Your fitness training has been interrupted for consecutive away games. I think with your current physical fitness, it's okay to play for 12 minutes, right?"

It turned out to be because of my own training plan.

Richard almost misunderstood his head coach again. He stayed on the court to experience the feeling of the game all the time. The short time was to allow himself to exercise his physical fitness first.

Richard really wanted to hug Donovan and kiss him.

That straight look made Donovan tremble with fright, subconsciously touched his face, and left quickly.

When he came to the arena to warm up, Richard's happiness was beyond words, which made Oladipo, who had scored high scores in several consecutive games and helped the team win, feel a little bit of hatred.

The game officially started, and the Nets took the lead in the first quarter by virtue of their home court and height advantage.

Even the starting shooting guard is Bojan Bogdanovic, who is 2 meters tall, not to mention the two forwards and center Brook Lopez.

As a former All-Star player, Lopez's ability to finish at the basket and protect the basket is commendable. What's even more rare is that he has an outside shot, which is exactly the kind of big man needed in the future small ball era.

Now, even if this ability has not been valued for the time being, Lopez is still the core player of the Nets.

在洛佩兹三分5中4独砍14分的带领下，篮网第一节40:32领先了8分。

This is mainly because Adams has never encountered a center who pulled the outside line to shoot a three-pointer, and has been sitting in the penalty area to make empty shots.

Fortunately, Westbrook scored 4 points and 4 assists in 8 of 4 in a single quarter, and his efficient offense and organization bit the score.

Before the start of the second quarter, the Thunder's inside line was assigned a task and had to jump out to defend the opponent's inside line. Richard also got playing time here.

"Richard? Is it Richard who is going to play now? Richard, who has been hidden for 6 games, is going to play? Does he remember how to play basketball? The average playing time in the first five games was only 5 minutes, and they were all at the end of the second or third quarter. Now that the Thunder are still behind, they actually sent Richard. What is the coach thinking? Has he surrendered early?"

"Then we're about to see the longest garbage time in history." Another commentator laughed.

　I finally signed the contract, please support me a lot, recommendation votes and investment are all in the bowl.
