Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 82 Anyone who treats him as a rookie is the biggest fool
Brown didn't think about competing with Mourning, he was more concerned about his own small goals.

10 points.

It’s a preseason game, and I guess we’ll only play half a game.

We have to score 5 points in that quarter.

Soon, the opportunity came again.

Grant faked a shot and passed the ball to Brown near the basket.

Mourning, who was paying attention to Grant's movements, was a beat slower.

This one shot gave Brown the opportunity.

He faked a shot in front of the basket and then cut across the middle.

Mourning moves laterally very quickly.

It also gave Brown enough confrontation, but the effect was limited.

Mourning has confirmed that Brown is not inferior to him in physical confrontation.

This is also the first time that Brown has faced a top center who is still in his prime and is among the top few levels in the league.

The resistance is maximized, and you have to tense all the muscles in your body every time you do a movement.

Under the confrontation, Brown's rhythm was a little messy and his steps were slow.

He adjusted instinctively, exerted force with his shoulders, and finally squeezed out a little space before jumping and shooting.

At the moment of the shot, Brown suddenly had some insights.

I seem to have mastered the knack of rhythm.

Tang Sen spent quite some time training himself to smoothly connect his hook shot with his footwork.

Then Tang Sen also said that the next stage is to learn to make good use of rhythm on the basis of fluency.

Rhythm is king, and it is the winning magic weapon that allows Donovan to score goals in front of Jordan.

But Brown couldn't find the feeling.

At this moment, after being forced to slow down due to the confrontation, Brown suddenly understood.

Tang Sen said that if you want to practice this, you should start from the beginning.

Rub against your opponent's body to seek confrontation, don't think about the rhythm, just go with the flow.

If you don’t know what rhythm is, your opponent will have no way to grasp your rhythm.

Isn't that a change of pace?

Wait until you have gained experience, then slowly master it.

And this ball was blocked because of the change in rhythm, Mourning was slow to jump and block.

The well-honed hook shot didn't miss and went in steadily.

5 points!

Mo Ning frowned, his eyes becoming even darker.

Brown, who thought he had found his rhythm, tried to replicate it and actively asked for the ball to attack.

As a result, Mourning completely grasped the rhythm change under the basket and his low throw went wide.

Brown was not discouraged.

He felt that he had found the right feeling.

When the halfway point of the quarter was over, Brown found another opportunity.

He sat on Mourning with his back to the basket and made a fake move.

Mourning stuck close and with great force, slowing down Brown's turn.

But it was this slowness that caused Brown's subsequent turn to the baseline to return to normal speed.

One slow and one fast, the rhythm emerges.

Brown deftly passed by Mourning, walked to the baseline, and made a reverse layup.

Another 2 points!
Brown waved his arms excitedly.

Yes, that’s the feeling!
drop!
Seeing Brown turn around and pass Mourning, Riley couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout.

As soon as the players left the court, his roar enveloped Mourning.

"Alonzo, what the hell are you doing?"

"He got blocked and nearly got dunked on. Oh my god, I thought your opponent was Hakeem."

"No, he's a high school rookie!"

"He scored 7 points, and you only scored 4. Oh my God, am I dreaming?"

Riley's words are not dirty, but they are definitely sharp and mean, the kind that hurts people's hearts.

Mo Ning's expression suddenly turned cold.

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

But he didn't swing it. Instead, he looked directly at Riley and said in a deep voice, "Pat, you don't have to tell me what to do. And I can tell you that every rookie is different from every other rookie."

Some rookies are just rookies.

Some rookies, such as the one from the Spurs, are big demons as soon as they enter the court.

Riley was stunned for a moment. He could feel the anger in Mourning's eyes.

But is he someone who can be frightened?

"You're scared, aren't you?" Riley asked sarcastically.

"Fake Squid!"

Mo Ning exploded and stood up quickly.

Eric Spoelstra next to him reacted very quickly, grabbing the tactical board and inserting himself between the two men.

Van Gundy also hurried over and pulled Riley.

What are you doing.

As for making a fuss over a preseason game?

At least so many people are watching.

Only then was Mourning dragged to sit down by Grant. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "I said, that kid is not an ordinary rookie, he is the number one pick." Do you know what the number one pick means?

Do you understand the value of trading for Hill?
Anyone who thinks Brown is a rookie is truly stupid.

After being rebuked again, Riley looked a little embarrassed and kept silent with a gloomy face.

Grant, Jones and the others who were left around naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Anyway, they thought what Mourning said was fine.

They are on the field and can feel it.

Not to mention anything else, over the years, I have not seen many inside players who can confront Mourning in the penalty area like a full-scale fight.

For this reason alone, there is nothing wrong with what Mourning said.

Rookies are really different from each other.

Although he refuted Riley, Mourning still intensified the confrontation after returning to the court.

He really refused to give in, and even wanted to elbow Brown twice when grabbing a rebound.

And Brown was not to be outdone.

Under this kind of confrontation, the success rate of the two can be imagined.

In the end, until almost 10 minutes into the first quarter, the two were substituted out, and Mourning's score was fixed at 6 points, while Brown made 3 of 6 shots and still only scored 7 points.

When Brown walked off the field, applause broke out from the nearby stands.

Applause for Brown.

There were even more direct fans who tore off the sign in their hands that read "Trading a superstar for a rookie, a new level of stupidity."

We are not blind, and everyone has a clear idea of ​​how Brown performs.

Let's not talk about the statistics. Just look at his performance on the court. The fact that he can compete with an inside player of Mourning's level without losing the upper hand is enough to prove the quality of Brown as the No. 1 pick.

The applause gradually became louder, and some fans even whistled and cheered.

Donson once said that Orlando fans are as fickle as a hurricane.

All they need to hate someone is a piece of shit.

But it may only take one quarter of a game to fall in love with a player.

"Good job, boy!"

Ewing was the first to come forward and gave Brown an excited hug.

To bring out the strongest Mourning, just think about the value of this.

Rivers was even more emotional, patting Brown and praising him with a smile on his face: "Brown, do you know what you did? That was Alonzo Mourning! Believe me, tomorrow the whole country will know your name and know that you almost dunked over Alonzo Mourning!"

Brown looked shy.

He actually likes Coach Rivers very much.

Just like Moore, he is kind to others and not mean.

Unlike when he was with the Wizards, facing Collins, he always felt too cold and intimidating.

After being slapped a few times, he subconsciously dodged and took a deep breath.

pain.

Rivers was startled and frightened and asked what happened.

It’s nothing, I just fell when I was dunking over him.

Of course, there were also flying elbows during the confrontation.

"I'm fine, he must be feeling bad too."

Brown turned his head to look across and couldn't help but sigh. It was really scary that he had an incurable kidney disease and was in this condition.

"Brown, stop fighting down there."

Rivers looked serious.

This is the team's treasure. If he gets injured because of a preseason game, it would be a big loss.

Brown was stunned and asked, "But I only played one quarter."

Not even one section.

My small goals haven't been completed yet.

"One section isn't enough."

Rivers smiled and grabbed Brown's shoulders, advising him: "This is just a warm-up. Save your strength. It's not too late to work hard in the main game."

7 points in a single quarter, if the full 4 quarters were played, 20 points would be a sure win.

7 points under Mourning's defense. What else can Rivers expect with this kind of performance?

Brown hesitated, then nodded obediently.

Tang Sen said that we should listen to the coach.

Brown sat on the sidelines.

Mourning did come on in the second quarter, but when he saw that Brown didn't come on, he played for more than a minute and then voluntarily substituted himself off the court out of boredom.

He really had no interest in facing Hunter, a skinny guy who would bend over at the slightest touch.

They are both rookies, why is there such a big gap between them?

In the end, the Magic won by 6 points, 83 to 77.

It is said that the Magic's lineup is rubbish, with a bunch of role players, but how much better can the Heat be? They also dismantled the team and rebuilt it, with a bunch of rookies.
Courtney Alexander scored a game-high 21 points.

He is quite good at the mindless job of brushing off points.

The outcome of the game is not important. The media is more concerned about the matchup between Brown and Mourning.

Even a fool could see that Brown not only fought back and forth with Mourning, but even had the upper hand.

That dunk was truly spectacular.

At the same moment the game ended, far away in Detroit, another game was about to end.

Wizards away game against the Pistons in a warm-up match.

This is the first time in three years that the great basketball god Michael Jordan has returned to the court to present a basketball feast to fans around the world.
