Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 76 Inhumanity

"I recently got a nice red wine. Are you interested in coming to my house to taste it?" After the press conference, James invited Hansen.

It was obvious that he didn't understand Han Sen's hidden meaning at all.

"No, I have to train later." Han Sen refused bluntly.

James may not understand what those words mean now. What if someone on James' team hears that he is saying that James is a bigger Pippen? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?

James was not angry. He smiled and left.

Hansen went to the locker room and called Cunningham, who he had called in advance, and then went to the training hall.

This game tonight means a lot to him.

It wasn't because of the points he scored, but because of the defense the Celtics played on him in the second half.

Because he is proficient in both "breakthrough" and "shooting", it is difficult for opponents to defend him, which is why he led three teams to defeat one and two teams consecutively.

But the attack that day was a surprise attack, and if Brown had arranged tactics against him in advance, it would have been difficult for him to do so.

After all, he had too few confident offensive methods.

"Passing" and "controlling" are what he has been training since his NCAA days, but these two techniques are not only related to training time, but also to talent.

There are many people who have trained for a lifetime but still cannot pass the ball well or control the ball well.

With his current passing and controlling skills, it is still very difficult for him to play as the main attacker in NBA games.

Besides, he didn't have that opportunity with the Cavaliers.

Tonight's game is just an exception. It's impossible for the Cavaliers, or for James, to play like this every night.

In the eyes of James' team, data is the most important.

So his positioning is still the same as he planned before, which is to be Irving, a strong finishing point.

Starting from this direction, what he needs to improve now is not his passing and controlling ability, but his finishing ability.

This is also the reason why he now asks Cunningham for training.

His breakthrough tonight was limited.

He had Cunningham guard him the way the Celtics were guarding him, and then he tried to crack it.

After training for a while, he gradually found the idea.

Strictly speaking, a breakthrough should be divided into two parts: one is the breakthrough, and the other is the end of the breakthrough.

For example, the most representative Austin Rivers (son of Doc Rivers) has an elite breakthrough step and a good breakthrough ability, but his finishing ability is extremely poor and he ultimately failed to perform.

His problem now is also to break through and finish this point.

When opponents put him under the basket and then interfere with him, it is very difficult to make a regular layup.

At this time, either he has mastered the ability of stable mid-range shooting and uses quick stop mid-range shots to punish the defender when he retreats to the basket; or he has a way to finish on the move, such as a floater, rebound, hook, turn, etc.

The mid-range technique looks the simplest, but is the most complicated in actual combat.

Compared to scoring in the paint, its hit rate is low, and compared to outside three-pointers, its efficiency is low, which is the origin of the saying "mid-range shots can't kill people."

There is only one way to make it work to its full power, and that is to increase its hit rate to an unstoppable level.

As long as your opponent gives you a little space, you can complete the punishment.

However, this is not enough, because the mid-range is also the easiest to defend. The big guy in the inside can reach you with just one big step forward.

Therefore, it is related to the player's footwork, turning technique, step-back jump shot technique, and even body control ability, jumping ability, etc.

This is also why, although everyone can shoot from mid-range, only a few can really rely on him to gain a foothold in the league.

In Han Sen's case, if he really wanted to use his black fan points to exchange for mid-range talents, he would have to exchange for the best, first-tier talents.

Therefore, in comparison, it is more appropriate to increase the means of attack while moving. Then there are more options here, and of course it is best to master them all, after all, more skills are better.

After training and exploring with Cunningham, Hansen updated his season plan.

It is not very realistic to train at the same time, because the training time is limited after all, and you will not be able to digest too much if you bite off more than you can chew.

What he finally chose was the most commonly used finishing method by breakthrough players, and the one that can best unleash the power of breakthrough besides layups: the layup.

The training method he chose was to perform basic training according to the methods he knew as a trainer, and then find videos of those throwing masters on the Internet to analyze the technical details.

This is certainly not as effective as Wade's previous method of teaching by example, but the Cavaliers do not have a so-called jump shot master on the team, so this is also a stopgap measure.

There was no game the next day, it was the team’s daily training session.

After completing a double kill against the Celtics, the Cavaliers' training atmosphere was quite good.

O'Neal also invited Hansen to his home again after the training.

When Hansen came to O'Neal's house for the second time, he was attracted by the car in his garage at first sight.

The meaning of a car to a man is similar to that of cosmetics to a woman: in theory, it’s enough to have one, but if you can afford it, you will want something better.

The number of cars in O'Neill's garage increased to six, with the addition of a new car covered with a cloth.

Although we can't see what the car looks like, its general shape shows that it is a luxury car.

This time, O'Neal did not ask him to drink, but took him to visit his house.

This is also a kind of signal release. When a person takes you to his home, it means that he already regards you as a friend.

There is a private swimming pool, a private cinema, an open-air oversized dining room and even an indoor boxing ring.

Han Sen finally saw what it meant to be rich and inhumane.

After visiting O'Neal's mansion, Han Sen inevitably had some new ideas.

Previously, he had focused his energy on making up for the regrets of his previous life, which was basketball. Coupled with the fierce competitive environment of the Cavaliers, he had never considered how to make himself richer.

He now has some money in his hands, and he should indeed rely on the benefits of time travelers to improve his life.

O'Neal also had someone prepare a dinner for Hansen, but at this point, according to Hansen's understanding, it should be considered a midnight snack.

This is not surprising for basketball players, because the energy they exert in training and competitions is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Take O'Neal for example. With his body size, he needs to eat six basic meals a day.

After finishing the meal, O'Neal asked Han Sen to go out.

"I said before that I would make up for your birthday present."

Han Sen was inexplicably moved by what O'Neal said. He had thought O'Neal was just speaking casually, but he didn't expect that the other party was really prepared.

Hansen followed O'Neal all the way out and went directly to O'Neal's garage.

When he went in, Han Sen instinctively had a hunch that the gift O'Neal gave him might be the luxury car covered with a cloth.
Then, Han Sen's premonition came true.

O'Neal walked up to the car and pulled back the cover.

A brand new white 2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI appeared in front of Hansen.

The iconic shell-shaped front grille and the sense of luxury that comes to you.

Han Sen also has a Ford SUV now, which pales in comparison to this one.

Cars in the United States are cheaper than the ones in the University of Tokyo, but this one starts at at least $40.

O'Neal's gift is so damn expensive!
