The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Chapter 2 Calling (Sixth)

Because of the physical recovery speed of the exchange, the attributes on his attribute panel have not changed.

It seems that this skill can only be experienced in training and actual combat.

He drove directly to the team's practice facility.

To his surprise, there were already people in the arena.

Pushing in to take a look, I found that Leonard was training alone there.

In his previous life, Leonard was selected for the rookie game in his rookie season.

However, because of Tang Tian's relationship, his playing time and status in the Spurs have been compressed, so this time he didn't make it to Orlando.

So when watching Leonard in the training hall, Tang Tian was somewhat embarrassed in his heart.

Since the two entered the Spurs together, Leonard's impression of him is actually not bad.

Although he is not good at communicating with people, he trains hard in private and has no bad habits.

Leonard was surprised to see Tang Tian appear. After all, the All-Star Game had just ended, and Tang Tian came to the training hall for extra practice.

"How did you come?"

This time it was Leonard who asked the question. The two of them had their hair done a few times together, and their relationship has improved a lot. Leonard will also take the initiative to chat with Tang Tian.

"Can't sleep, come and practice."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he explained casually.

Leonard nodded, and then went to train on his own.

Tang Tian's training program is no different from usual, the difference is that he has increased the amount by about 20% compared to normal time.

As a result, after the whole training process, he didn't feel tired, on the contrary, he felt more relaxed than usual!

It seems that this Hamilton skill is really used for intangible, but extremely practical!

He rested on the sidelines after practice, and then looked at Leonard.

Leonard is doing three-point and basket shooting training, because Ingold is not here, his training program looks a bit simple and boring.

After a while, Leonard sat on the sidelines to rest after practice.

"Is Orlando fun?"

Leonard took a sip of water and asked.

Tang Tian turned his head and saw a trace of longing in his eyes.

This guy who is silent most of the time is actually not really mature and steady, it's just that he doesn't easily express his thoughts in front of others.

"It's fun, but that's it. I heard that the game will be held in Houston next year. Houston is much more lively than Orlando."

Tang Tian said.

Leonard nodded after listening, then smiled helplessly, apparently feeling that he might not have a chance to go.

Seeing his expression, Tang Tian knew that not going to Orlando this time would be a blow to him.

That's not good news for the Spurs.

Leonard's defensive ability is still very important for the Spurs, especially when facing a heavy forward like James.

After all, Tang Tian's current weight is not suitable for James.

In addition, he felt a little embarrassed about taking Leonard's opportunity, so he decided to give him some advice.

"Do you like Kobe?"

Tang Tian asked suddenly.

"Kobe?"

Leonard thought for a while and nodded. From his reaction, it can be seen that he doesn't like it, but he shouldn't object to it.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Tian knew that things would be easy to handle.

"Kawhi, I have a suggestion."

Only then did Tang Tian speak.

Leonard looked at Tang Tian suspiciously. He had very little contact with other people in the Spurs, and the reason he had most contact with Tang Tian was because he did his hair together.

In fact, Tang Tian should have the best relationship with the Spurs, so now that Tang Tian speaks, he is willing to listen.

"What you need to do now, compared to training, I think you should determine a shooting shape.

Everyone has a hand shape that suits them, but it's definitely not yours. "

There is nothing to say about Leonard's defense, but the offense is not reliable whether it is in the NCAA period or in the Spurs.

Although the hit rate has been improved by training, the range is very small.

This is also the reason why he has few opportunities in the Spurs. If Tang Tian hadn't come, then Popovich would have used Leonard's defense, and he would have played if he hadn't.

Now that he has a choice, Popovich will naturally not do that.

"Do you want me to compete?"

Leonard is not stupid.

Tang Tian nodded.

"Kobe's shooting shape is very similar to Michael Jordan, or Kobe imitated Jordan.

But whether it is Kobe or Jordan, their shooting hands have a characteristic, they are shooting with one hand on the shoulder with the right hand.

It is not easy to be blocked, and it is also convenient to combine with other technical movements. "

What Tang Tian said was what Procopio told him back then.

It's just that this kind of shooting has a requirement for the control of the ball, or in other words, the size of the palm. His palm is too small, which is not suitable for this shooting method.

But Leonard is just the opposite. His palm is surprisingly large, and this shooting method is the most suitable for him.

"I didn't think about it."

Leonard said.

No player will deliberately think about these details, basically how to do it, this is the help that a top trainer can give.

"You can try it, and I think you can also try to learn Kobe's post-up technique. Your palm is big and you can control the ball well. It will also suit you very well."

Tang Tian continued.

Although Leonard's size is a small forward, he has excellent palm and body coordination. He has the physical conditions to learn Kobe's skills.

Tang Tian's suggestions can be said to be completely antidote to the case.

"I'll try."

Leonard thought about it and nodded.

He is a little confused now, Tang Tian's suggestion is a direction for him.

Tang Tian smiled and patted Leonard on the shoulder.

It's one thing for him to talk, it's another for Leonard to listen and try.

Just like what he did to Yi Jianlian back then, whether it will work or not depends on them.

The All-Star Game is a dividing point of the season, and the Spurs have a good record before the All-Star Game.

But if you really want to get a better position in the playoffs, you have to continue to work hard after the All-Star Game.

After a day of practice in San Antonio, the Spurs were on a plane to Oklahoma City again.

They will once again usher in an away game against the Thunder, but this time it is not a preseason game, but a serious regular season.

And even this isn't an ordinary regular season.

Although the Spurs rank first in the Western Conference, they are only half a game ahead of the second-ranked Thunder. The win or loss of this game will re-determine who is the first in the Western Conference.

In other words, this is a serious battle for positions.

Of course, apart from this, what fans are looking forward to more is the matchup between Tang Tian and Durant.

You must know that after losing the three-point contest in the All-Star Game, Durant has already declared on Twitter that he will blow up the so-called "Godfather".

Chapter 2: The learning speed is very fast (seventh change)

The Thunder team's record has improved by leaps and bounds this season, and the four young players are thriving, and the Oklahoma City fans are extremely excited.

You must know that it has only been 3 years since the team moved here from Seattle. The team selected super rookies consecutively, which took the fastest time to rise.

And because the four teenagers are very young, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the embryonic form of the dynasty team.

Now that they are going to have a serious fight with the Spurs, the fans are naturally even more excited.

On this day, the Chesapeake Energy Stadium was full of seats, and the scene was full, making you think that this is the playoffs.

But it's not just the enthusiasm of the fans, ESPN also described this game as a preview of the Western Conference Finals.

Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and "Shark" O'Neal, who was newly promoted this year, formed a team to explain the game together.

The attention this game will receive will be unprecedented.

"Don't worry, I have you covered."

Ginobili was swearing at Tang Tian in the locker room.

He knows that it will be difficult to play against Durant, especially when the two have so much grievances.

"Come on, Manu, you won't play with me, it's Danny who can help me."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Green couldn't help laughing. Tang Tian's flirtatious level really looked more and more like Ginobili.

However, Tang Tian's mentality can also be seen from this. Even though he was going to have a real fight with Durant, he didn't show any nervousness.

The game was about to start soon, and Popovich greeted the players and entered the court together.

The scene was already crowded with people, Budenholzer greeted, and all the players went on the field to start warm-up training.

"Look at the Spurs, we say year after year they're old and dead, but they surprise us year after year, guys, you guessed before the season they were number one in the West Team?"

Kenny Smith spoke.

O'Neill shook his head.

"I guessed it, they are the team I have been optimistic about."

Barkley said solemnly.

"What? Charles, I remember who said before the start of the season that the Spurs would become a second-tier team in the Western Conference?"

Smith looked "disturbed".

"It's not me, you must have heard what other people said."

Barkley is as thick-skinned as a city wall.

"Well, you owe me."

Smith didn't go any further.

O'Neill laughed loudly when he heard it. He had just been a commentator not long ago, and now he is learning from Barkley and Smith.

"Actually, not all of them are old guys. Look at their starting lineup. Danny Green and Blair are all young, and Tang Tian is a rookie this year."

Barkley continued.

"Yes, Don, he's going to face Durant tonight, it's really cruel."

Smith couldn't help but said that although he liked and admired Tang Tian very much, Durant's current strength really surpassed Tang Tian's by a lot.

"How much do you think Durant's going to score tonight, Shaq?"
