Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 46 Battle Rocket

I heard that Kidd is a very gentle person and almost never argues with others.The relationship with the former teammates is very good, except for the time when 3J snatched a woman.But Kwame hasn't had a chance to talk to him yet, and Rudy has been talking to him about tactics.

Finley's impression of Kwame is that he is unsmiling and somewhat dull, and he is a boss-like person.He doesn't want to say much to others, and he practiced catching and shooting silently by himself, just like Kobe and Jordan, which may be the reason why he can maintain a high level all year round.

But he is happy to share the shooting experience with others and see Kwame's crappy shooting practice.He suggested that Kwame try to find a posture he likes and keep practicing. Don't change your shooting habits just because shooting is a long-term practice.

Favorite shooting position?Jordan?Kobe?Maddie?Or your boss Finley?These four are the people with the most beautiful shots in Kwame's eyes.

Kwame chose to shoot like Kobe. Perhaps Kobe's shooting is very ordinary, without any bright spots, completely copying the so-called standard shooting posture in "John Wooden Basketball Textbook", but I have to say, this is the best shot. A comfortable position that everyone can use.But it takes a lot of hard work to practice well.

Josh Powell was an undrafted player last year. He has a very good temper. When he came to the Lakers, he liked to follow Kwame’s ass. He made no secret of his admiration. Kwame was very useful, and he felt that he was quite attractive. of.He played in the Lakers' lower-level team before, and his biggest feature is his stable mid-range shot and tough defense.Too many fouls is his shortcoming, but it is still enough as a bench player.

Radmanovich is almost the same type of person as the previous Devin George, the kind of person who is familiar with himself.As soon as he came to Los Angeles, he quickly applied for the VIP status of almost all entertainment venues, which quickly attracted Otto's attention. The two of them immediately liked each other and became a pair of friends. I heard the two sitting together laughing.

He also loves skiing, but he is disappointed that there is no snow in Los Angeles.He was very attentive during shooting training, which made Rudy very satisfied.

As for Ariza, this 19-year-old boy is a bit autistic in Kwame's eyes, not his own kind of autism.It is a natural character problem.His physical fitness is excellent, and his shooting ability covers the entire three-district area, but like Kwame, he is the kind of player who has just learned to shoot, but he has learned a little longer, which means that he has shooting ability, but he is not accurate.

Although Ariza is somewhat autistic, once he is on the court, he is full of vitality and full of energy. He will always be a battery with unlimited energy on the court. , Strong stealing ability, relying on sensitive olfactory reaction ability can always steal the ball unexpectedly, likes man-to-man defense.It can well share the pressure on Kidd's defensive end.

As for John Thomas.The white insider who grew up in the United States was discriminated against in the team because he was a standard middle-class player.It is said that the living conditions of the people here were not very good when they were young, except for the veterans of the hospital.

Under normal circumstances, Thomas would not be able to enter the team's 12th squad, but Kobe Hill is undergoing surgery, and he was lucky to be notified that he may play in future games.

As a slow-moving stalwart insider, he knows his disadvantages, but he works very hard, constantly working on his strengths and strength, and doing a lot of training every day.

Seeing his hard work, Kwame was also embarrassed to go out to play. Originally, he planned to go out for a stroll and buy some things. The things here are quite cheap because there is no need to pay taxes.But seeing his new teammates working so hard, he also started strength training next to Johnson.He and Johnson said cheer together.

Johnson was so moved after hearing this!After entering the nba, he has not been seen directly by others, because of his skin color, his strength is very ordinary, he has been discriminated against in this league for 8 years, but after he came to the lakers, their young all-stars talked to him so gently , What a good man!Many young black stars ridiculed him. Even Ray Allen, who was as gentle as the Supersonics, didn't treat him very much. He suddenly felt that this team was not bad.

Kwame was interpreted as a good person with just polite words, and he didn't know what the guy next to him was thinking, so he was training.

Time passed quickly, and it was time for the next day's competition.

Looking at the Chinese who is a head taller than himself, Kwame, who has seen it many times, is still a little shocked. This is too tall!Taller than Ilgauskas!
Since Kwame was in the East before, plus the All-Star Game, this is the fifth time he has met Yao Ming.But every time I feel the magic of the Creator. In the United States, a country with the highest average height in the world, there are very few big men over 7 feet 3 inches, and there are almost no people who can play basketball.

But in that magical country, there is such a magical big man, the world is so big!But this guy, I didn't pay attention during the All-Stars, he seems to have gained a lot of weight, do I really worry that his feet can bear such a big guy?

Kwame, Dodo, Finley, and Kidd came forward to greet Yao Ming, McGrady, and Juwan.Several people were once a big boss, except for Kwame.Even Yao Ming is in China, and Kwame insisted that he was considered a big boss in high school.

The prelude to each game is very long, because the national anthem is played.

Both sides start, the Lakers by the center Kwame, forward Radmanovich, Odoi, guard Finley, Kidd.

The Rockets are composed of center Yao Ming and forward Jim.Jackson, Zhu Wan.Howard, defender McGrady, Bob.sura composition
.

For the jump ball in the middle circle, Kwame bullied Yao Ming without bouncing. He easily patted the ball to Kidd, and then quickly slammed it down.

A few steps into the paint, Kidd threw the ball to the right of the basket, Kwame jumped high, dunked the ball into the basket, and gave the team a head start.

Before the game, Kidd took the initiative to find Kwame and told him to play according to his usual habits, and he would pass the ball at the right time.Sure enough, Kidd's ball came when Kwame felt his best.

Kwame and Kidd high-five the ball great!Kidd smiled, "This kind of ball is passed a lot on weekdays. I have never seen anyone so surprised by you."

"Ha, is it? I really envy them. I can only catch this kind of ball when Otto concentrates or when Kobe is willing. Otherwise, I am singles, but now I can easily catch and attack every day! "

Since they were still competing, the two didn't say much.The game continued, Sura advanced halfway and handed it to McGrady.Today is Kidd to defend Tracy McGrady, he is now the best defense in the Lakers.

McGrady faced Kidd, dribbled and broke through, Kidd followed closely, McGrady suddenly accelerated away from Kidd, stepped on the free throw line and hit a jumper.

After scoring the goal, McGrady didn't have any expression, and he still gave people a feeling that he couldn't wake up.Kidd is very defensive, but it is impossible for a player of McGrady's level to defend, at most he can only limit it.This time Kidd obviously didn't limit himself.

Oddo catches the ball at the top and passes it to Kidd at the free throw line.Kidd passed the ball to the bottom corner, and Radmanovich made a three-pointer with a good touch. He scored the first goal of the Lakers career.Kidd has been talking with Rudy about tactics and watching player videos these days, and he knows the running habits of his teammates well.

Sura pushed forward with the ball, and McGrady was followed closely by Kidd, so he passed the ball to Juwan Howard near the free throw line, and Odo immediately posted it.

Zhu Wan's scoring has never been low. As a power forward, his favorite offensive method is the half-shot, which is not very accurate.Also likes to shoot against defenses.

Feinting a shot, Odori ignored him, so he forced his shot, but missed.

Kwame took off, beat Yao Ming in the aerial confrontation, and got the rebound.If it is said that Kwame was defeated by Yao Ming's thick thighs in the ground confrontation, Kwame has few opponents in the air confrontation.

Handed over to Kidd, Kidd quickly advanced across the half court, pulled up and shot a three-pointer, and missed!

but!Kwame arrived in time, dropped from the sky, and made up the score.The Lakers lead 7-2.
