NBA: Crazy Little Giant

There is no game today.

The team's training is in the morning.

In addition to [aggressive defense], the main content of the team's training today is [offensive] at critical moments.

The current Thunder lacks a real [offensive player].

Westbrook is the core player with the ball.

Although his shooting ability has increased in recent games, he can show Megatron's dominance in regular time.

Once the game enters a tug-of-war, life-and-death moment, Westbrook can stand up, but he is not the best choice, unless the team really has no one.

But now the Thunder has a choice that is more suitable to be an [offensive blaster].

That's right.

It's Chen Cheng.

At the critical moment of the game, the intensity of the confrontation and the stiffness of the muscles are undoubtedly far beyond the regular moment.

The closer to the basket, the greater the probability of scoring.

At the critical moment, if the ball is handed to Chen Cheng in the low post.

One-on-one, even if Chen Cheng can't score, he can grab the offensive rebound and complete the second attack.

But Chen Cheng's [passing ability] is lacking, and his reading of the game of true and false double-teaming and assist defense is quite poor.

Another problem is that Chen Cheng's offense under the basket is too simple. If he encounters a heavy and tall center who is stronger and has a more stable lower body.

Although Chen Cheng can dig at the opponent, he cannot make the opponent completely lose his defensive position.

For example: Chen Cheng digs at Roy Hibbert, Hibbert will be pushed back by Chen Cheng, but he can still stop Chen Cheng in front of the basket. This is called"not completely losing the defensive position."

However, Chen Cheng's upper limbs are weak and fragile. When subjected to high-intensity interference, his movements will be severely deformed and his finishing efficiency will be reduced.

Chen Cheng forced Karl-Anthony Towns, Zeller, Green, etc., and sat down with his buttocks, which could push the opponent away. When they reacted and came to stick to him, Chen Cheng used the [space] created by the strong confrontation to directly attack the frame.

This belongs to"completely losing the defensive position."

Abbreviated as"completely losing position’.......

The purpose of the team's joint practice today is to let Steven Adams, a heavy and tall inside player, match up against Chen Cheng to hone his low-post offensive skills.

And Andre Robertson, PJ Tucker and Audi Laoliu will take turns to double-team Chen Cheng to train his passing ability.

As the chief instructor of Laoliu on the court, he has benefited a lot from his teammates' Laoliu operations.

But in training, Chen Cheng would subconsciously put his hands down when grabbing rebounds.

Audi Laoliu, who is becoming more and more a master at card vision, successfully completed 2 steals.

After the successful steal, the whole team laughed.

Chen Cheng had a dark face.

He said nothing.

MMP in his heart.

"Fuck, I became the bonus itself"......

Chen Cheng is a generous person. He will not get angry with his teammates.���, and smiled and touched Oladipo's head, saying:"Victor, you are indeed a man who can become the sixth king."

At this time, the sixth king, who was still happy a second ago, suddenly stopped smiling.

Chen Cheng's smile and tone.

Oladipo is very familiar.

This is the vision that he wants to challenge me again after the game.

That's right.

The generous Chen Cheng is happy for Oladipo's growth, but in order for him to become the complete bitter mamba one day earlier, Chen Cheng believes that a one-on-one challenge is essential.......

More than 2 hours of training ended.

Although Chen Cheng still had the habit of subconsciously putting the ball down, it had improved a lot.

This thing is not so easy to change.

It's like playing NBA2k. You know clearly that you should raise your hands and not jump around. But you just can't control it.

It takes a lot of training to change this bad habit.

After the training,

Chen Cheng had a one-on-one duel with Oladipo and others with a smile on his face. After a morning of training,

Chen Cheng gained a lot.

In addition to his low-post offense】、【[Ball passing ability] has some insights, and Chen Cheng's [Badge] has also undergone a significant transformation.

【Giant Slaughterhouse (Silver)】(620/1000), 380 rebounds away from upgrading to the next level

【Giant Lord (Silver)】(300/500), 200 blocks away from reaching the next level. It is worth mentioning that most of these blocks were obtained in one-on-one duels.

This is why Oladipo, Robertson and others trembled when they heard that they would have to duel with Chen Cheng.

【Giant's Magic (Silver) (200/800), 600 assists away from reaching the next level

【Anti-Giant Buster (Bronze)】(270/300), 30 goals against the opponent can be upgraded to the next level.

Before the next game against the Orlando Magic, Chen Cheng will definitely upgrade it to [Silver】

【Giant Wall (Bronze)】(100/500), 400 effective pick-and-rolls are needed to advance to the next level........

In the afternoon, all members of the Thunder team conducted strength training.

Although Chen Cheng's upper body strength is not very good, Chen Cheng likes to lift weights.

It is not a simple thing to strengthen the upper body strength by lifting weights.

After so many days.

Through lifting weights, Chen Cheng's [upper body strength] has increased from [80] to [81].

Chen Cheng's maximum bench press is 140kg.

Compared with Yao Ming's 140kg bench press in his peak period, it is exactly the same.

Chen Cheng can do 12 84kg bench presses in one breath.

Guards such as Westbrook and Oladipo can basically do it.

Of course, Chen Cheng's wingspan is 230cm. The longer the wingspan, the more disadvantageous the bench press is.

As a big man, he is also known as"Tyrant Chen", which is naturally unacceptable.

But none of his teammates dared to sneer at Chen Cheng's lack of upper body strength.

Hehe.

One-on-one warning!.....

"Victor, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"Teammate Russell Westbrook noticed that Oladipo was not in good shape this afternoon. He only did 8 reps of 84kg bench press.

He was worried.

""Victor, what happened?" Chen Cheng, who had just finished a set of 84kg bench press, asked curiously.

"Chen, it's all because of you." Andre Robertson laughed.

"Nonsense, how could it be me."Chen Cheng said seriously.

In the morning's duel with Oladipo, he only blocked 9 of his shots.

Usually he blocks more than 15.

He is not happy?

Are you kidding.

I should be the one who is unhappy.

Okay.

PJ Tucker saw Chen Cheng and the others gathered together, and he couldn't help but come over curiously.

Seeing Oladipo with a sad face, he couldn't help but say:"Victor, don't worry, you are still young, I recommend a shampoo for you, which will ensure that you won't lose your hair."

"Yeah, that's right"

"The shampoo that PJ recommended to me is really effective."

Aquaman Steven Adams said with a smile, touching his soft, thick black hair.

This instantly made Oladipo's face look more bitter.

He did have something on his mind today.

But it was not because of hair loss.

However, when he heard the word"hair loss", Oladipo suddenly remembered that his hair fell out every morning.

He was only in his twenties, but he seemed to have signs of hair loss.

Oladipo subconsciously glanced at Chen Cheng

"Victor, you don't have to thank me."

"My massage on your head has had some effect, and you have now gotten some relief from the hair loss that you would have lost."

Chen Cheng remained calm, with an expression of 'just do good things and don't worry about the future'

"Well..."Oladipo was stunned.

Westbrook and other teammates laughed so hard.

Their big man is too ridiculous.

"thank you all"

"Actually, it’s not because of this problem...."

Oladipo said with a smile

"Oh, is that because of tomorrow's game?"Chen Cheng suddenly said.

Oladipo was slightly startled.

Soon.

Oladipo nodded.

Victor Oladipo was the core of the Magic's revival, but because his talent was not fulfilled, he was abandoned by the team and traded to the Thunder.

Tomorrow is Oladipo's first time to go to the Orlando Magic as an"opponent".

This makes him a little nervous.

"Ha ha"

"Victor, don't worry."

"Tomorrow, we will pass the ball to you more often."

Chen Cheng said with a smile

"Oladipo couldn't help laughing and said,"Chen, that's not my reason...."

"Okay, okay."

"Be a bit happier"

""Practice seriously."

Chen Cheng interrupted Oladipo, smiled and touched Oladipo's head.

His teammates also joked with Oladipo.

For a moment, Oladipo, who was in a complicated mood, also smiled at this moment.

But his smile was still a little bitter........

An hour later, a reporter came to interview the Thunder players who were doing strength training.

At this time, Chen Cheng and Aquaman Steven Adams were lying on a barbell bench respectively.

The teammates surrounded the two and added weights to them respectively.

The reporters were also attracted by this scene and came over one after another.

Chen Cheng and Adams, like a PK, did bench press

"This should be the 100kg bench press, right?" the reporter asked.

"Yeah."Victor Oladipo nodded.

Then, after another set of training,

Chen Cheng asked his teammates to increase the weight to 140kg.

Aquaman and Chen Cheng did it again.

What surprised the reporter was that Chen Cheng did it easier than Aquaman.

This is not right.

Isn't it said that Chen Cheng's upper limb strength is not good?

Soon, the two increased the weight to 160kg.

Aquaman Steven Adams was obviously struggling.

But Chen Cheng still had a calm expression.

The reporters were stunned.

Oladipo, who was the"tour guide" for the reporters, had a shy blush on his dark face........
