NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Ignoring the outside voices, Hua Dao is now thinking all day about how to make the two late bloomers in the team develop combat effectiveness earlier.

“There are only two years left!”

"I can't wait until they are 2000 years away!"

The great five-star general General MacArthur once said: "As long as you don't die from training, train to death!"

Hua Dao has always believed this since he came here through time!

Let’s not talk about Doug Christie who has partially realized his potential. As for Big Ben, he is short and weak. What can he do if he doesn’t train hard?

Dating a blonde foreign girl from the country of maple leaves? You must be dreaming. Even Hanamichi himself has never dated one!

So during this holiday, Huadao decided to give Daben some special lessons in advance.

He invited Ben's teammate and life mentor, Charles Oakley, who was once one of the most ferocious inside players in the league, known for his strong physical fitness and excellent inside defense.

"Hey, Ben, I asked you to come here this time because I want your master to help you practice your defensive footwork and basket skills again."

Hanamichi said to Omoto.

Daben looked at Hanamichi with a puzzled look:

"Why? Shouldn't I be training my offense?"

Looking at the man in front of him who was not very smart and had no ability to attack him, Hanamichi smiled and explained:

"Because next season we are going to defeat the best team in the league, your defense can be even better."

"Moreover, from your cool and stylish hairstyle and handsome face, I can tell at a glance that you are a potential defensive stalwart. You will definitely be the best defensive player in the league in the future, right?"

Daben said:

"That's right! That's what my master said when I met him at the training camp!"

Big Ben nodded without hesitation and agreed to the holiday training. After all, Hanamichi was the second person besides his master Charles Oakley who could see at a glance that he would become a great talent!

Charles Oakley has another way of saying it:

"Not only did this kid lie about his height, even if he is really 203cm tall, it would be very difficult for him to gain a foothold in the league!"

"If you don't mind and are willing to continue to play center, then forget it. Just pretend I never said anything!"

"Anyway, depending on how much progress he makes next season, you can rest a few more minutes on the sidelines. It's up to you!"

The truth is, this season's matches against the Sharks and Gorillas have been too much for Charles Oakley, not to mention next season. In this league, the pressure on the inside is so intense, there's no telling when it will end!

Besides, Charles Oakley really loves his disciple who makes full use of his afro and height, and he really wants to find a basketball career for him!

(When Ben was in high school, he played for Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland. Oakley couldn't bear to see Ben wasting his talent, so he recommended and guaranteed Ben Wallace to his alma mater, Virginia Union University, to study and play there. Even when Ben was undrafted and had no ball to play, Oakley's relationship was involved in his decision to play for the Bullets! He is definitely a life mentor.)

"Big Ben does have some ability. He was able to come up with the idea of ​​using a perm to make up for his height. This brain of his is really something. I think he has the potential to be the best defensive player!"

Now that the team bosses have spoken, what else can we say:

"Practice now, and realize your potential sooner. Then I can retire earlier and start my own training camp!"

So in the following days, Big Ben began hard training with Oakley.

Oakley personally demonstrated various defensive techniques, and Ben studied them carefully and practiced them continuously.

Although Ben is already very good, Oakley has higher requirements. Every move must be perfect. This is something that cannot be learned in a training camp. It can be said to be Oakley's trump card.

After a period of training, Ben's defensive footwork became more flexible and his skills under the basket became more sophisticated. He unknowingly realized that he still had so many shortcomings that he had not noticed before, so he became more proactive in learning!

It turns out that if you give a sponge a chance, it can quickly drain a bucket of water.

Charles Oakley was completely drained by these two people!

Yes, flower arrangement has also been included in this learning journey.

He learned a lot of valuable experience and skills from Oakley, which are priceless and will help Huadao better command the team, defend opponents, invade the penalty area and protect himself next season!

And there were unexpected surprises throughout the training process!

Hanamichi actually discovered that Ben's offensive ability was not particularly bad, and it had nothing to do with the stiff touch, poor dribbling, and lack of ball sense shown in later videos.

In fact, when Ben was playing for Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, he averaged 24 points, 17 rebounds and 6.9 blocks per game, and he didn't look like a sluggish offensive player at all.

In fact, this is because in 1998, Ben Wallace underwent surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome (a neurological disease that causes numbness in the fingers).

However, this minor surgery failed, and from then on Ben's wrist became extremely stiff, affecting his ball control, dribbling and shooting, making his offense and ball sense, which were not his strong points to begin with, even worse.

Therefore, Big Ben began to focus on defense and finally fully realized his defensive talent during his time with the Pistons.

(Those who are interested can check out Ben Wallace’s wrist guard, which is to protect the old injury after the failed surgery. There are three letters "NFZ" written on it, which means "No Fly Zone". This is also the determination made by Ben Wallace to achieve the ultimate in defense after the failed surgery! The author really admires it!)

In short, after discovering that Big Ben not only inherited his master Charles Oakley's tough attitude and visible defensive talent on defense, but was also not as bad as imagined on offense, and at least he had no problem catching a rebound or passing the ball, Hanamichi became more confident about next season.

For the entire offseason, Hanamichi hung out with Charles Oakley and Ben Wallace.

"It's okay for Ben, as he has a lot of room for improvement. But Flower is actually able to take the time to learn these inside defense techniques, and he has learned a lot. That's really..."

There was a line about Niu 13's mother opening the door for Niu 13, but Oakley didn't have the courage to say it.

However, looking at the rapidly growing duo, Oakley feels that even the Big Shaq will make him uncomfortable with the Raptors' inside line next season!

In addition, although his signature skills were learned completely, Oakley had no complaints at all.

He is a veteran. Oakley has even thought of the recruitment advertisement pictures for future training camps!

When a group of high school students were exhausted from training and lying on the court, the great Charles Oakley stood up and said calmly:

"Flower was once so tired that she lay in the same position as you are now!"

If the 13 grids don't rise directly, shouldn't the training camp take off directly?

It would be even better if I were wearing a championship ring in the poster!

This "bad guy" who always has a cold and steely expression on the court and believes in the iron-blooded spirit of never giving up has been fighting in the NBA league for 11 years, often carrying a ball in fights.

He also longed for that championship ring!

Oakley believes that he has never lost in free fighting, but he has never won a championship!

"It seems that my actions are still not big enough. I have to work harder next season!"
