Chapter 221 Strengthening Training

Rajon Rondo wanted to go to the Bulls at first, but when he knew that the 76ers had traded Ibaka, and heard that Sam Hinch offered a 2-year 3000 million contract.

Pull Jane.Rondo immediately changed his mind and decided to go to the 76ers.

The NBA is a business league. Every player has a price in mind. If the other party is not tempted, it only means that the price you offered is not high enough.

就这样山姆·辛奇虎口夺食，成功从公牛总经理手中，以2年3000万1+1模式签下将自由球员控球后卫拉简-朗多带到了76人队。

Zhang Zifeng was very excited when he heard that the 76ers traded for Ibaka and signed Rajon Rondo.

With this lineup, just like the slogan chanted by the fans, Zhang Zifeng is full of expectations for the new season.

After the Olympic men's basketball competition, Zhang Zifeng didn't even want to participate in the closing ceremony. After exchanging contact information with a few people who wanted to go to the NBA, Zhang Zifeng took a plane and went back to the United States directly.

He wants to train!

From the end of August to mid-November, there are still more than two months.

When Zhang Zifeng returned to China to prepare for the Olympics, he had already planned his training plan for this offseason.

In this year's playoffs and the Olympics, Zhang Zifeng learned a lot, and also deeply realized his own shortcomings and areas for improvement.

Perimeter offense is very important, but low-post offense is also very important, especially in the suffocating defense of the playoffs, it is simply impossible to score as easily as in the regular season.

And in many cases, the offensive cooperation cannot be played, and you need to rely on your own ability to tear through the opponent's defense.

Although Zhang Zifeng began to hone his low-post offense in the second half of the season, it was not enough.

The body is not strong enough, even Jimmy Butler, Harden and others can't carry it.

The turnaround shooting percentage is not high enough either.

In addition to Zhang Zifeng wanting to continue to strengthen his physical confrontation and improve his shooting percentage, he also wants to strengthen his ability to grab rebounds.

With a height of 1.98, Zhang Zifeng averaged only 2.9 rebounds per game last season.

Although at the position of shooting guard, there are not too many requirements for rebounding.

But Zhang Zifeng himself is very dissatisfied with himself, like many top superstars, in addition to having good accomplishments in offense and defense, the average number of rebounds per game is higher than that of ordinary inside players.

And in the Huaxia men's basketball team, many players have very weak awareness of rebounding.

It is impossible to see their improvement in this aspect in a short period of time. Zhang Zifeng hopes to lead the men's basketball team to break into the semi-finals in a record time. Naturally, he needs to strengthen the rebounding shortcoming to help the team.

Therefore, Zhang Zifeng has already decided on the focus of training this summer, strengthening his physical confrontation ability, improving his low-post offensive ability, and strengthening his ability to grab rebounds.

Let yourself become an all-around fighter in the next season.

Not only is it top-notch on the offensive end, but it is also top-notch on the defensive end!

When it comes to shooting guards, the first thing people think of is the flying man Jordan, and then the black Mamba Kobe.

But the problem is that Jordan is a big boss, and he doesn't have the heart to guide Zhang Zifeng.

Kobe just announced his retirement in the summer, and he is starting to learn business knowledge to prepare for his post-retirement career.I'm also not interested in giving Zhang Zifeng guidance.

Although he didn't get the two most suitable guidance from Jordan and Kobe, although Zhang Zifeng felt a little regretful, he didn't care.

Because he has invited an interesting and good superstar to help guide himself.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, a chubby guy walked into the arena.

What's worse is that this guy is also holding a big hamburger, eating happily.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng, the guy reached out to say hello. "Hey buddy, good morning!"

Zhang Zifeng said with a sigh, "Charles, it's getting late. According to Huaxia's words, the sun is already drying our ass!"

Yes, the chubby guy in front of him is Charles Barkley, one of the top [-] superstars in the NBA.

Zhang Zifeng asked Barkley for advice, naturally about rebounding skills and post-up singles skills.

Barkley once won the league's rebounding title in 1987. You must know that it was a time when the league's top centers prevailed.

With a height of less than 1.98 meters, Barkley can beat top centers such as the 2.08-meter dream Olajuwon and the 2.13-meter gorilla Ewing to become the rebounding leader. This is not something ordinary people can do.

He must be unique in rebounding.

In addition to the ability to grab rebounds, Barkley averaged 22.1 points per game in his career, relying on the post-up singles known as the "wild boar arching cabbage" back then.

It takes 23 seconds to drive the opponent in, and then takes 1 second to score the ball.

Barkley's post-up singles are the best in the league.

Later, the league even set a five-second limit for post-up singles in order to limit the impact of Barkley's style of play from affecting the enjoyment of the game.

Hearing Zhang Zifeng's complaints, Barkley said without any blush, "How many years have I retired, and I don't have to get up so early to train, that's what you want. It's not early for you, but it's really early for me. "

When Zhang Zifeng heard it, he was speechless immediately, "What you said is very reasonable, but I was speechless to refute it. But you have collected money, shouldn't you have a bit of professional ethics!"

In order to hire Barkley, Zhang Zifeng paid $20 out of his own pocket to hire this guy to teach him rebounding and low-post offensive skills.

In the eyes of billionaires Jordan and Kobe, $20 may not be enough for a trip to a nightclub.

Moreover, Zhang Zifeng didn't have any friendship with Jordan and Kobe, so he couldn't invite these two great gods to give him advice.

Not so with Charles Barkley.

First, this guy loves money, and has even said in public, "I'm an easy-going guy. Yes, I could join the Ku Klux Klan if the price you offered was tempting enough."

Second, although this guy claims to have earned 6 million with Jordan.But the problem is that of the 6 million, Jordan made 5.7 million, and Barkley only made 3000 million.

With the inflation of prices, as well as his profligacy and gambling, the 3000 million has been spent long ago.

That's why Barkley needs to work as a radio commentator to support his family.

That's why Zhang Zifeng was able to hire him with 20 yuan.

Of course, this also depends on the fact that Zhang Zifeng is a player of the 76ers.

Charles Barkley was selected by the 76ers with the fifth pick in the first round in 1984, and he still has feelings for the 76ers.

Barkley ate the last bite of the hamburger, touched his hands and walked into the court and said, "Come on, let me see how your level is!"

Zhang Zifeng saw it and said, "Are you ready, don't you need to warm up?"

"Of course!"

Since he said no, Zhang Zifeng was no longer polite.

Zhang Zifeng was very excited to be able to compete with this legendary superstar. He threw the ball to Barkley, then lowered his waist and prepared to defend.

　The agreed one thousand collection will be updated, and the third update will be delivered.
