The older superstars of the NBA

In the evening, as the sun set, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets of Houston, and the autumn wind blew across the face, and a sense of coldness wandered in every block of the city.

In a local arena, at this time, Zhao Feiyang, Adrian, and "Dream" Olajuwon and others are competing in the arena.

Of course, Zhao Feiyang became a melon-eating crowd, and Olajuwon did not play. He and Zhao Feiyang stood on the sidelines and observed the situation on the court with their hands on their hips.

on the field.

Adrian is one-on-one with Olajuwon's assistant.

There are too many dramas in this kind of trial training. Olajuwon is already an old man in his 50s, and his physical fitness has long been far from what it used to be. Naturally, it is impossible to go to one-on-one trial training in person.

"His name is Amir, and he is my disciple... Don't underestimate him. Although he is 26 years old, his skills are very superb..."

"He can't play in the NBA, but his skills are not great as a trainer..."

While introducing Zhao Feiyang, Olajuwon praised his disciple.

The height and weight of the young player called Amir is not much different from that of Adrian. On the whole, Adrian seems to be more dominant.

However, after the duel on the court began, Adrian could not get any benefits from the opponent at other times except for using his body to take advantage of it.

On the field.

Amir attacks with the ball.

He singled Adrian under the basket after an assistant next to him threw the ball into his hands.When the two met each other, Amir suddenly turned around after holding the ball with one hand. Adrian, unexpectedly, adjusted his body weight and rushed forward.

But as soon as he made up the defense, Amir turned back.

Seeing that the opponent raised the basketball as if he was going to make a shot, Adrian subconsciously jumped up and rushed towards the opponent to block the shot.

Unfortunately, this is another bluff.

In the next second, Amir, who swayed Adrian with a feint, took a step forward and threw the ball.

boom.

The ball is in.

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced smoothly into the basket.

It's Adrian's turn to attack.

The assistant on the side gave him the ball, and he chose to hit Amir when he got the ball.

After the two began to make physical contact, Adrian kept using his physical advantage to lean in and hit each other. Amir was indeed not physically strong enough, so he kept retreating.

Seeing that he entered the basket, Amir noticed that Adrian seemed to choose to make a shot, so he suddenly withdrew his strength.

Adrian, who was leaning on Amir, did not expect this move. He just jumped up to make a shot, which caused his strength to tilt, and the thrown basketball failed to hit the basket, but hit the backboard Didn't even touch the basket.

"oh...no..."

Olajuwon, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but make a sound.

Zhao Feiyang glanced at him, and found that there was a little disappointment on his face.

"This kid's body is not bad, and his golf quotient is not a problem. At least he knows how to use his advantages to attack the opponent's shortcomings... But his skills are too rough, and it is impossible to play like just now. The nba has made a name for itself...."

"Zhao, frankly speaking, his aptitude is not too high."

Zhao Feiyang was not surprised by Olajuwon's comments.

How could he not know that Adrian's talent and upper limit are there!However, there has never been a shortage of players in the league who are not talented enough but work hard enough.

These people can also play extremely brilliant results, and even change the entire league's perception of them!

For example, Jimmy Butler, whom Zhao Feiyang faced before, was selected with the 30th overall pick in the first round of the draft. Such a pick actually has no future, and not many people will pay attention to it.

When he first joined the Chicago Bulls, he was indeed just an inconspicuous little player. At that time, he could almost be said to be a younger brother of a superstar like Derrick Rose!

He only played 42 games in his rookie season, averaging 8.5 minutes per game and only 2.6 points per game.

If such a result is replaced by any ordinary player, he may be disheartened and even give up his career.

But Butler didn't.

Not only did he not give up on himself, he also practiced crazily in private, constantly improving himself, waiting for the opportunity he could seize.

Later, Rose suffered an injury and the Bulls needed a leader to stand up. Butler did his part and seized this opportunity to achieve success in one fell swoop.

His talent is not top-notch in the NBA. Compared to talented players such as Andrew Wiggins, he may only be said to be mediocre.

However, his love for basketball and his persistence and pursuit of victory are beyond the reach of most players.

In him, one can really prove a word: hard work is also a kind of talent!

The person who can stand on top of the world is not necessarily the smartest person, but it is likely to be the person who perseveres and never thinks of giving up.

"Mr. Hakim, I know that Adrian's talent is not high, at least it is far behind those superstars you have taught before..."

"However, isn't the essence of basketball always pursuing a stronger world? The NBA has never been short of talented people, but it may be that these people have influenced the entire league..."

"I think Adrian is the kind of late blooming player. His appearance will not give people any amazing feeling, but he will definitely use his efforts to prove himself in the future..."

Seeing what Zhao Feiyang said, Olajuwon also gave a wry smile.

The duel on the field is still going on.

At the beginning, Adrian was able to use his body to force him, but later on, as both sides gradually adapted to this intensity of physical confrontation, Adrian's advantage disappeared.

On the other hand, Amir, his footsteps are always as flexible as before.

As Olajuwon's disciple, he may not be as experienced as Olajuwon, nor can he imitate the opponent's full strength, but what he has learned is enough to beat Adrian several times.

Swish.

After Amir scored again, Olajuwon, who was watching the game from the sidelines, finally stopped the duel between the two sides.

"Okay! Come here!"

Olajuwon stepped forward.

"Adrian, I have observed you for a long time... Frankly speaking, your talent and skills are very average. I set the rules for myself a long time ago, and I will never waste any money in front of mediocre people. time......."

"So... you go!"

After finishing speaking, Olajuwon ignored Adrian's reaction, and said to Zhao Feiyang, "Zhao, go back to Minneapolis early!"

"If you have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, you can come to me again!"

Adrian looked frustrated after hearing Olajuwon's evaluation. This feeling of not being recognized by celebrities is undoubtedly extremely bad.

Seeing Olajuwon's attitude, Zhao Feiyang hurriedly pulled him aside to discuss in a low voice.

"Mr. Hakim, I know your time is precious, so I hope you can give a young man a chance for his ideals..."

"I raised the price to $50, and the training period is still a week...you go to Minneapolis with us, and when the week is over, no matter what the result is, you can bring the reward at any time leave......."
