Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 86 Orlando's New Gemini (First Order)

This is Los Angeles.

Kupchak was at least a good assistant to Magic Johnson and a contributor to the Lakers' championship in 85.

In Los Angeles, there are not many people who don’t know him.

"It's really him!" Russell Jr. jumped excitedly, grabbed Harden's arm and asked him why he appeared here.

Bars was stunned.

Kupchak is 2.06 meters tall. Normally, people would salute him when they see such a giant on the street, not to mention that he is a star.

What the three little guys didn't expect was that Kupchak actually walked up to Tangsen, smiled and shook hands with him and talked to him.

"Oh my God!"

Little Russell exclaimed again, Tang Sen actually knew Kupchak!

He had heard from his father that Tang Sen was definitely not an ordinary person.

But I didn’t expect Tang Sen to be so powerful.

This is the general manager of the Lakers. To him, he is a real big shot!

Harden stared with his eyes wide open, speechless in shock. For such young children, this scene was too much of a shock.

It’s like the old man who sweeps the street in front of your house every day, and one day he suddenly drives a Rolls-Royce and drives away.

"Don, what are you...doing?" Kupchak didn't rush to talk about the business. He glanced at Russell and the other two little guys and chatted casually.

He came here specifically to find Tang Sen.

I don't know where I got Tang Ling's address, but I drove to Long Beach this afternoon and asked, only to find out that Tang Sen had come to Compton, so I rushed here directly.

"Them?" Tang Sen turned his head to look at the three little guys, glared at them, and signaled them to continue practicing.

"I'm just practicing for fun when I have nothing to do."

Tang Sen said casually and asked Kupchak directly what he wanted to do.

I am a trainer myself.

Kupchak smiled and said, "Don, you have done a great job in training Brown. There is no doubt that you are an excellent trainer, so we would like to invite you to work with the Lakers."

Tang Sen guessed this possibility, but was a little surprised that Kupchak came in person.

That’s such a great honor.

But it seems to be related to Brown's recent performance.

This is the fact. Kupchak did not hide it and said frankly that Brown's performance was outstanding.

The Magic played eight preseason games, and Brown played in all of them.

Playing mostly half-court games, he averaged 16.5 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and blocked 1.8 shots per game.

The loss of control is also well controlled, averaging only 1.3 times per game.

This performance shocked the entire league.

As Brown's performance became better and better, he once again frequently mentioned Townsend's help to him on many occasions.

He said that Tang Sen helped him gain weight, improve his confrontation skills, and hone his skills.

The media may just report it and that's it.

But in the eyes of professionals like Kupchak, this is no trivial matter.

There is a traceable pattern to Brown's changes.

Before the draft, he had good physique but rough skills.

Then look at Brown five months later. He has changed so much that he can now fight back and forth with Mourning.

The offseason is indeed an important time for players to improve their skills, but such a big improvement is still unreasonable and even unscientific.

So who deserves the credit?
Without a doubt, it was Tang Sen.

Don't talk about talent.

As talented as Jordan was, he was also beaten to the ground by the Bad Boys before Tim Grover helped him run the Breakfast Club.

If you really have good talent, can't you cultivate it yourself?

So here comes Kupchak.

This is also what Jackson thought.

It was even Jackson who brought it up first. He found me and said that he saw news reports and knew that Tang Sen had come to Los Angeles, so he asked me to go there in person.

"And you seem to be particularly knowledgeable about weight management, which is exactly what we need. You know, Shaq's weight is a big concern," Kupchak added.

Tang Sen’s high level is one reason, but another important reason is that Tang Sen is good at managing weight.

Brown said this himself.

And O'Neal.

Kupchak gets a headache when his weight is mentioned.

When he won his first championship last year, O'Neal weighed 155 kilograms, which was okay.

As a result, after winning his second championship this year, O'Neal's weight had soared to 175 kilograms.

If it's just about gaining weight it's fine.

The problem is that as his weight increased, O'Neal's injuries became more frequent.

For example, the problem with my big toe started last year, and I had surgery this summer.

As a result, after several warm-up matches, there were still problems.

Although he can still play, Lakers team doctor Stephen Lombardo also said that he may have chronic inflammation, which is very troublesome.

The problem lies with the feet. Even a fool can guess why: it's weight.

And now he has gone through an offseason of eating a lot. If he doesn't control his weight, he will most likely get injured in the middle of the season, which will affect the Lakers' pursuit of their third championship.

Tang Sen understood, but couldn't help but ask: "Does he really need to lose weight?"

Weight is O'Neal's most powerful weapon.

And you have to think about it, his weight gain has been there for a long time, and he has been fighting for so many years without any serious injury. That means he is gifted and has the confidence to gain weight without thinking.

That's just the way he plays, and Donson really doesn't think there's any need to lose weight or adjust.

"necessary."

Kupchak said seriously, "Don, you know that the rules have been changed, and it will definitely affect Shaq."

When the defensive three-second signal comes into effect, does Stern dare to say with certainty that it is not aimed at O'Neal?
And without talking about the specific impact it will have on O'Neal's playing style, let's just say one thing, with the defensive three seconds, will O'Neal have to leave the three-second zone more often than before?

Has his running distance increased?

Then the burden on his body must have increased.

He has been using this weight sparingly during the regular season for fear of injury. Now that the load has increased, the risk of injury will only increase.

And it's not just O'Neal, there's also Kobe.

Kobe also planned to improve his strength and discussed the possibility of gaining weight with Gary Vitti at the beginning of the season.

But like Brown, maintaining the original athletic ability after gaining weight, or even becoming stronger, is not something that an ordinary trainer can easily do.

So Kupchak really felt it was necessary to invite Tangsen.

This is not signing a player, but a loss of hundreds of millions will be caused at a glance.

How much can a trainer be paid at most?
It's really useless and the loss to the Lakers is minimal.

But if it is useful, the benefits will be huge.

Especially in this crucial season when the Lakers are aiming for a three-peat.

"Don, your family is in Los Angeles. If you come to work for the Lakers, you can also spend more time with your family." Kupchak also started to play the emotional card.

"As for salary, we are willing to offer you an annual salary of 20 yuan."

When recruiting people, you can't just talk big, you still have to talk about money.

An annual salary of 20 is not low for a trainer.

Tedeschi's annual salary is only $30.

Kupchak said again that if Tangsen was not satisfied, everything would be fine.

The Lakers are a wealthy team and have no shortage of money. As long as the product is good, a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand dollars is not worth mentioning at all.

Tang Sen thought that Orlando was his home.

"Mr. Kupchak, let me think about it." Tang Sen thought for a while and said.

There is no consent and no rejection.

These days, Tang Sen still hasn't decided whether to continue working as a personal trainer or to join a team to gain experience.

Salary is a secondary consideration.

"Okay." Kupchak didn't expect Donsenna to bow down immediately.

If Tang Sen really did this, he would still be suspicious.

It's not easy to hire an expert.

The two exchanged contact information.

Kupchak didn't leave in a hurry, but stayed for a while to watch how Tang Sen trained the three little guys.

Didn't see much.

After all, these are the most basic training.

Even when Tang Sen introduced the three little kids, their names just flashed through his mind and he didn't remember them at all.

Apart from the big guy Bals, he really thought the other two little guys were just average.

It seems like what Tang Sen said, just killing time when he has nothing to do.

Wait for him to leave.

The three little ghosts immediately surrounded them.

Each one's eyes shined.

"Sir, how come you know Kupchak?" Little Russell was very excited.

Being able to know such a big shot, Tang Sen must be no ordinary person.

I am Tang Sen’s student now.

"First of all, I don't know him. He came to find me. Secondly, it doesn't matter who I am. What you should worry about most is continuing training." Tang Sen said sternly.

After all, he was a child, so within a few days, Tang Sen had established enough authority.

As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them immediately dared not say anything more.

But they still had to whisper to each other.

Russell Jr. pulled Harden and whispered, "Did you hear that? It was Kupchak who took the initiative to find the gentleman. Doesn't that mean the gentleman is even more powerful?"

Harden nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Even if Tang Sen didn't say it, he could guess it in his heart.

Just one thing, anyone who can be related to the Lakers general manager is definitely not an ordinary person.

The three little ghosts were excited, and the people around them were equally excited.

Many people pointed at Tang Sen and talked among themselves.

Tang Sen pretended not to see anything.

However, although Tang Sen did not see it, the news spread and even reached Orlando.

The warm-up match is over and the roster is finalized.

Only the last few days of training sprint remain.

That afternoon, McGrady ran straight to Brown's house.

Since they live close to each other, they often visit each other.

"Brown, do you know why Tang hasn't come back yet?" McGrady said with a serious face.

"why?"

"Because he's planning to stay in Los Angeles and go to the Lakers."

McGrady handed Brown the Los Angeles Times, turned to the sports section, and pointed to a piece of news at the bottom that was the size of a tofu block.

Brown took a closer look and was stunned.

This is a short news item with the headline that the Lakers are doing their best to win their third consecutive championship.

The report said that someone said on social forums that Kupchak appeared in an ordinary park in the small town of Compton and had an intimate conversation with a young man.

Later, after verification by reporters, it was confirmed that the young man was Brown's personal trainer Tang Sen.

It is reasonable to speculate that Kupchak wants to provide Townsend with a trainer job to improve the strength of the Lakers players.

that's it.

But after reading it, Brown immediately became anxious.

"No, I contacted my husband yesterday and he said he would be back in the next two days."

He had been looking forward to this day for almost a month.

Without Tang Sen by my side, I have no motivation to practice at all.

McGrady grabbed Brown's shoulder and said, "Brown, you have to know that these are the Lakers."

It is a wealthy club and a championship team.

Not to mention players, it is very attractive to anyone working in basketball.

For example, if the boss is willing to spend money and each key staff member has a ring, can they also get a championship ring?

Brown's expression changed again and again, and he immediately said, "I'll call the gentleman right now."

But Maddie grabbed him.

"Brown, I think just calling isn't enough. I think Tang must be very troubled right now, so you should go there in person to show your sincerity."

Maddie came up with an idea.

Not to mention how long Brown has been waiting, he has also been eagerly waiting for Townsend to return to Orlando.

How could I stay with the Lakers after someone inexplicably interfered with me?

"correct."

Brown's eyes lit up.

I've been asking Tang Sen these days when he'll be back, and he always says soon.

Now that I think about it, I'm probably just like what McGrady said, struggling and wavering.

"I'll book the ticket right away," Brown said immediately.

Just go there in person and invite Tang Sen back.

Guo Yonglin has said that if you want to learn kung fu from him, you must respect your teacher.

This is my mentor, so it cannot be too serious to treat him with respect.

"I'll take you to the airport." McGrady said immediately.

So when Rivers learned the next day that Brown had missed training and secretly gone to Los Angeles, he was stunned.

"You mean, the Lakers want to poach Don?"

After listening to McGrady's explanation, Rivers frowned suddenly.

No, Kupchak, don’t you have to follow the first come first served principle? I have contacted Tang Sen a long time ago and am waiting to meet with him.

"Well, let him go."

Everyone has run away, what can Rivers do? Fortunately, the season has not started yet.

After saying this, Rivers couldn't help but sigh.

Brown really values ​​Tang Sen.

And I guess Tang Sen would be shocked.

Seeing Brown suddenly appear in front of the door, Tang Sen was really shocked.

"Fuck, why are you here?"

Tang Sen rubbed his eyes hard.

Brown carried a bag and grinned at Tang Sen: "Sir, can you please not go to the Lakers? I still need you."

Tang Sen was even more confused.

"Who said I was going to the Lakers?"

Tang Sen thought about this matter seriously and decided to give up.

Or rather, Tang Sen figured it out.

I still want to go down the path of a personal trainer.

Now I really feel that there is no need to gild myself anymore.

Besides, if you want gold plating, you can do it at Magic.

Going to a powerful team like the Lakers is just icing on the cake.

But in the Magic, if the Magic can make a breakthrough in their record, wouldn't that better prove their ability?

"Sir, aren't you going to the Lakers?" Brown's eyes lit up.

Tang Sen nodded with a helpless smile and let Brown in.

When asked carefully, Tang Sen rolled his eyes.

This silly boy was fooled by McGrady.

But since Brown has come to Los Angeles, Tang Sen really can't stay anymore.

time to go.

My mother has started to "dislike" me.

But before leaving, Tang Sen wanted to say goodbye.

That afternoon, Tang Sen arrived at Wilson Park as scheduled.

Brown was also traveling with them.

He insisted on coming over to meet his junior fellow apprentice.

Tang Sen was confused and asked who taught him these words.

Why is he my junior brother?

As expected, it was Guo Yonglin who taught him.

Brown also told Tang Sen mysteriously that Guo Yonglin had taught him something else and would give him a surprise when he returned to Orlando.

Tang Sen didn't dare to expect anything, just hoped he wouldn't be frightened.

On the court, three... no, it became four.

There was another little kid, talking and laughing with Harden.

After seeing Brown next to Tang Sen, the four little ghosts and even the audience around them all stared in amazement.

Brown was the top pick, and his face had already spread across the United States.

Especially being forced to appear on camera with Jordan often holding his shoulder.

"Hello."

Brown greeted the kids with a smile.

The four of them nodded dumbly, unable to speak.

This kind of shock is like seeing a Hollywood star when you go out.

"Stop looking." Tang Sen clapped his hands and looked at the extra little ghost.

A black man, quite tall, about the same height as Bars.

So cool and awesome.

But now he also had a shocked expression as if he had seen a ghost.

After asking, I found out that it was Harden who pulled him over.

"Sir, he is a good friend I just met last month. Can he come and train with us?" Harden said shyly, but his eyes kept glancing at Brown.

His name is DeMar DeRozan, and Harden said he lives near his house.

He is still a master and can dunk now. When he was ten years old, he won a one-on-one match against a retired guard from the New Orleans Jazz, the predecessor of the Jazz.

It's probably a very old one.

But that's also terrible.

I'm just late. Today is the last day of training.

Since Brown is here, Tang Sen can't just let him stand and watch, so he simply lets him train with the four little guys.

There were more and more spectators around, forming circles.

Even the police were alarmed and ran over.

Seeing this situation, Tang Sen didn't dare to stay any longer. As the time was almost up, he stopped the training.

"I guess you know who I am."

Townsend asked.

The four little ghosts looked at each other and nodded.

The media reported on Brown without even seeing him.

Little Russell and his friend only then realized that the so-called "ordinary person" who had been doing activities in the community was actually the personal trainer of the new top pick.

It's free, and they were both so happy that they almost fainted to be able to receive training from a trainer of this level.

"The new season has begun and we're off."

It's time to say goodbye.

"Sir, are you leaving now?" Little Russell looked reluctant.

Harden also looked at Tang Sen eagerly.

I have only been learning for a few days.

DeRozan was even more depressed because it was his first day here.

Bals, on the other hand, seemed more mature. He just patted little Russell, bowed solemnly to Tang Sen, and said thank you.

Tang Sen didn't ask for any money, and he was grateful for being able to guide them.

And these days, my progress is real.

A casual remark by Tang Sen may take a long time to comprehend.

Tang Sen waved his hand indifferently, hesitated for a moment, waved to little Russell, and took him to the side.

"Russell, pay more attention to KB. It's better to talk to his mother and take him to have his heart checked. I feel like there's something wrong with his health." Tang Sen came here today just thinking about this matter.

Little Russell was stunned.

Tang Sen knew that this incident had a great impact on him, but he still patted his shoulder and said, "You said that KB has always taken care of you. Now that you have grown up, you should also find a way to take care of him. Listen to me and take him for a checkup."

"gone."

Tang Sen finally smiled and left with Brown.

After the car drove away, little Russell came to his senses, turned his head to look at Bals, and Tang Sen's words were still echoing in his mind.

Now that I have grown up, I should find a way to take care of him!
"Check your heart." Little Russell kept these words firmly in mind.

Looking back, I looked in the direction where Tang Sen's car disappeared, and suddenly it felt a little unreal.

It was like a beautiful dream.

"Tang Sen."

He muttered Tang Sen's name. He remembered this name very deeply.

……

When Tang Sen kept saying that he should not have come to Los Angeles, Tang Ling always retorted, saying who asked you to come.

But when they really parted, she still hugged Tang Sen tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Silly boy, I still say the same thing. If you can't make it, come to me and I will support you."

Tang Ling's eyes were red.

Tang Sen nodded and said, "Sister, hurry up and find a husband. Don't let yourself become a yellow-faced woman and no one wants you. I still have to support you."

"roll!"

Tang Ling burst into laughter, cursed, and pushed Tang Sen into the security check line.

The plane roared away from Los Angeles.

"You haven't been slacking off these days, have you? I told you to check."

Brown, who was originally in high spirits, immediately fell in dismay when he heard this. He nodded frantically, indicating that he would strictly follow Tang Sen's requirements.

The effect is far less than that of the previous summer.

Tang Sen thought, nonsense, what do you think the system is for?

"By the way, your first game is against the Raptors, so you will have to face Olajuwon." Tang Sen said with a smile.

Although Olajuwon is 38 years old, he still averaged 11.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game for the Rockets last season.

Not to mention a person's reputation and a tree's shadow.

He is the Dream Hakeem Olajuwon!

One of the four!

In Tang Sen's opinion, if O'Neal is a historical talent, then Olajuwon is the ceiling of talent.

I have never seen a super all-round warrior of this size, with such agility, and who is omnipotent on both offense and defense.

When this was mentioned, Brown was a little scared. He nodded and asked Tang Sen what he should do.

"Don't keep asking. You have to think about it yourself." Tang Sen taught.

What? Can I always be with you?

However, Tang Sen actually took the time to study it.

This is Brown's debut after all.

He needs to get off to a good start.

"My idea is to arch." Tang Sen said.

When you think about how to deal with a superstar in a targeted manner, just study his opponent.

See how your opponent wins him.

When Tang Sen was looking through the data, he noticed someone.

Duncan.

In the normal impression, Duncan is not as fast as Olajuwon, has almost no static height advantage, and is evenly matched in strength. Then, he only has a few moves back and forth, and Olajuwon is one of the strongest inside defensive masters in history.

However, looking at the records of the two's matches, Duncan actually won all 9 times.

This is not just a matter of difference in team strength.

看数据，邓肯9场比赛场均20加10，而奥拉朱旺场均只有13加8。

Even though Olajuwon is no longer at his peak, it is enough to explain some problems.

After some research, Tang Sen discovered that when Duncan played against Olajuwon, many of his successful possessions were not his usual mid-range hook shots or turnaround jump shots.

It's more about back-to-the-basket and pushing forward little by little.

This inspired Tang Sen.

"So strength is the key. You and Olajuwon weigh about the same, and he's already 38. You're younger and stronger, so don't try to show off your low-post footwork and hook shots. He can kill you. Just do what I say, drive to the basket and use your strength advantage."

Playing low-post footwork with Olajuwon is simply courting death.

Brown nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he had remembered it.

Just do as Tang Sen said.

Tang Sen couldn't help but retort to him again, at least he had some ideas of his own.

And you have to listen to the head coach's arrangements.

I am only analyzing the two players from the perspective of a professional trainer, but if I put it in a dynamic game, it may not be accurate.

After arriving in Orlando, Tang Sen originally wanted to go straight home.

He was dragged to Brown's house.

He said that he had many rooms at home and it would be convenient for him to train himself.

Wesley came to pick it up.

In the car, Brown talked about his surprise again.

When he got home and saw what was happening, Tang Sen was stunned.

Brown pointed to a large piece of tilled land in the villa garden and proudly told Tang Sen that this was the result of his work over the past few days.

Tang Sen looked at Guo Yonglin who was smiling but not saying anything.

I want to go over and beat him up.

What do you think!
Let a basketball player farm?

Moreover, Tang Sen had reason to suspect that Guo Yonglin was using La Brown as a free laborer for his own hobby of growing flowers.

Noticing that Tang Sen's eyes were not right, Guo Yonglin immediately defended himself.

It is said that he is a serious believer.

Hoeing the fields is a secret that is kept secret by heart.

It also talks about the principle of leaving some energy left over when hoeing the fields.

Even Brown chimed in, saying that after hoeing the fields for half a month, he really felt that it was working. He learned to keep some spare energy during confrontations and tried to make changes.

Tang Sen continued to roll his eyes.

Tang Sen believed what Guo Yonglin said.

"But the thing is, what you're talking about is ultimately about the body."

Why are you able to retain some strength and change the rhythm? To put it bluntly, it's because you are physically stronger than your opponent.

You don't need to exert too much strength to resist your opponent to complete the technical moves.

It's like playing basketball with a kid. You don't compete and can easily play with the opponent with your rhythm.

"And this is the next phase of my training, but you're doing this..."

To practice the rhythm of inside offense, the first stage of Tang Sen’s plan is to rub.

After you have rubbed it many times and become accustomed to it, you will enter the second stage and continue to strengthen your body.

Tang Sen has prepared many professional training plans.

And hoeing the ground?
This is simply a crooked way.

Guo Yonglin weakly defended himself, "This is my proper practice method. I'm not hiding anything, and Brown is much more talented than you."

Tang Sen smiled bitterly and shook his head. Whether it was appropriate for Brown to train like this was still debatable.

Not long after he came back, McGrady arrived after hearing the news.

"Don!"

He hugged Tang Sen warmly, then asked with a smile when the weight training would begin.

"And it's not just about gaining weight, it's also about technique. Tang, I know you're a defender by training, so training defenders should be your forte. You have to help me."

In the new season, with Brown as the inside pillar, the team's future is bright and McGrady is also motivated.

He was willing to break up with Carter and leave the Raptors, not just to get a big contract with the Magic, but to make a difference!
So McGrady felt that he not only needed to gain weight, but also to practice his skills and continue to improve his strength.

"There's no rush for this. You have to give me some time to observe you carefully."

You have to thoroughly understand McGrady and his demands in order to develop the most suitable improvement plan for him based on his current playing style.

So the next night, Donson sat in the front row of the court.

Carter started near the baseline, paused for a moment to change the rhythm, and took a step forward to break directly past McGrady.

But he was blocked by McGrady's precise lateral movement.

He stopped suddenly, pulled back his hips, and threw it away.

With a clang, the basketball hit the frame and came out.

Tang Sen's eyes fell on McGrady.

This guy played very actively today.

You can tell from his eyes that he is obviously much more focused.

Think about the three of them getting together and chatting before the game.

Tang Sen and Carter are old teammates who have reunited, so they can't help but reminisce about the past.

McGrady and Carter have reconciled a long time ago and are relatives.

So the conversation was unusually harmonious.

At the end, Carter joked that he would not be lenient today, and McGrady smiled and replied that he would not be either.

They all look smiling, but it seems like they are holding back their excitement.

At the beginning of the game, he defended Carter's two shots in a row.

At the same time, you finish your performance and I take the stage.

McGrady dribbled to the wing.

Tang Sen silently took out a small notebook and began to record.

Although the game process can be presented in the simulation space and viewed slowly, Tang Sen still wants to write down his momentary insights.

A good memory is not as good as a bad writing.

Tang Sen noticed that McGrady still liked to attack from the wing.

Without much eye contact, Brown already knew what he was going to do.

During the preseason, he worked with McGrady a lot.

He is a rookie, but unlike O'Neal, he is arrogant and doesn't want to cooperate with Kobe.

So McGrady is very comfortable.

Brown raised his arms, delaying Carter for a moment.

McGrady started immediately and headed for the inside.

He is very fast.

But Carter wasn't slow either.

The two are cousins ​​and have worked together before, so they know each other very well.

Besides, McGrady and Brown have practiced pick-and-roll moves so many times in the preseason, how could their opponents not pay attention?

So Carter moved very quickly around the pick-and-roll, and Olajuwon, who was pulled out, immediately moved sideways to block McGrady.

Then Carter immediately rushed over.

Tang Sen doesn't believe that this is not a targeted arrangement.

After all, at the moment, the Magic only have McGrady as their offensive firepower point. If they can lock down McGrady, they can win most of the game.

Once McGrady starts, there is no reason to stop.

He was not bad at confrontation at all. He cut to the basket against Olajuwon and tried to change the rhythm. Finally, he jumped high against Olajuwon and chose to force a shot.

The touch was good and the ball went in.

In the center of the packed water house, more than 17,000 people burst into huge cheers and applause.

But Tang Sen frowned.

In a previous offensive round, Tang Sen vaguely felt that McGrady's shot selection was not so good.

He seems to be a little too superstitious about his own abilities.

In other words, when he faces two choices on the court, such as the situation just now, facing Olajuwon's defense and Carter's pursuit, he can choose to attack directly by himself as he is doing now.

He has excellent explosiveness and speed, his shots are very sudden, and his core is very stable, so even when facing Olajuwon who is much taller than him, he still scored.

But at the same time, he can also choose to pass the ball back to Brown.

Brown can shoot from mid-range.

When you break through to attract the defense and are double-teamed, there is really no need to force your way forward. You can consider passing the ball.

It is more reasonable and makes yourself more relaxed.

Tang Sen felt that this might be related to last season, when Hill was accidentally injured, and then Rivers looked through the tactical board and found that there was only one line written, giving the ball to McGrady, and no one on the team could help him.

But Tang Sen always believed.

Basketball is a team sport for five people. Star players are of course important, but if you are aiming for the championship, you must learn to cooperate.

When Jordan had no help, he had to be taught a lesson.

As he wrote this in his notebook, Donson's attention was still on Brown.

The game has been going on for more than three minutes and Brown has yet to perform.

It’s a good thing too. No performance proves that there were no mistakes.

He followed Olajuwon.

For the specific defensive strategy, please refer to Tang Sen’s advice, take a step back and don’t stick so closely.

If you get too close, Olajuwon will easily show off his skills.

If you have speed, then take a step forward to defend. If you are fooled, you still have room to chase. Then, restrain your desires and focus on the final shot.

Brown, trained by Tang Sen, is mainly obedient.

As I was watching, Olajuwon slipped to the baseline to catch the ball. The moment he caught the ball, he seemed to be back in his youth in the middle of the night. He turned around very nimbly and faked a shot to the bottom line, then immediately turned around and took a big step to the top line to shoot a jump shot.

As for the control of the feint in this instant and the smoothness of the rhythm, really, only he can do it in the whole world.

Fortunately, Brown remembered the instruction to take a step back, did not get fooled, and quickly moved sideways and jumped to block the ball.

Brown suddenly appeared in the field of vision, startling Olajuwon and instinctively raising the arc of his shot.

Then it didn’t go in!

Brown landed without any delay and jumped up to grab the rebound.

Olajuwon looked at Brown silently, then turned and ran away.

Damn, it’s great to be young!
Such movement speed and bullet speed, I’m so envious.

Under McGrady's full defense, Carter's shooting was far below standard today. Halfway through the first quarter, he shot 0 for 4.

But he was silent, and the Raptors took the lead 13-9.

Raptors small forward Maurice Peterson hit two consecutive three-pointers near the bottom corner to help the Raptors maintain their lead.

Rivers vaguely sensed the problem.

McGrady played a bit mindlessly, and like Carter, his efficiency was not high enough.

Suddenly, Rivers had the same feeling as last season's game, which was to give the ball to McGrady and bet on his condition and feel.

But the problem is that we had no one last season and were constrained by practical conditions.

But this season is different.

We have thighs!
Rivers' eyes fell on Brown.

I've only used my thigh once so far, but I haven't exerted any force yet.

Rivers called a timeout.

He has his own way of dealing with players. He didn't directly accuse McGrady of being too selfish, but hooked his shoulder and euphemistically said that today was Brown's big day and it would be broadcast live across the country.

That’s right, TNT was very considerate and arranged a nationwide live broadcast today.

NBC, on the other hand, chose to broadcast Jordan's debut and the game between the Wizards and the Knicks simultaneously.

There's a strong smell of trouble.

So Rivers said, you have a good relationship with Brown, so why don’t you help him more and give him a chance to prove himself.

The Raptors have old, weak and sick players in the interior, so Brown has the hope of getting off to a perfect start.

McGrady really listened to this.

After the timeout, he received the ball and accelerated to get rid of Carter, going straight to the basket. After attracting Olajuwon's defense, he jumped up and stuffed the ball into the basket.

Olajuwon cursed inwardly and turned around to see Brown had already jumped up and made a dunk with both hands.

Rivers applauded excitedly.

Tang Sen also nodded secretly.

This is how partners in an inside and outside combination should cooperate.

One side attracts defense and creates opportunities for the other.

When both of them pose enough threat, the opponent will be dumbfounded.

Continuing the momentum, in the next round, Armstrong again threw the ball into the paint.

拱？
The moment he caught the ball, Brown remembered Donson's instructions.

He immediately exploded the ball and hit it sideways.

A muffled groan came from Olajuwon.

Brown's eyes lit up, he could move it!
Then continue.

Once again, Olajuwon was pushed back a step.

The basket is within reach.

When Brown started to play hard again, Olajuwon wanted to curse.

Fuck, do you think you are that idiot O'Neal?

The key point is that I am 38 years old, a whole year older than you, how dare you hit me like this!
Brown didn't care. He made a last move to create space and then he became stronger.

Olajuwon jumped up with experience and locked his position in the air.

But it's not a big problem. Brown is someone who can collide with Mourning in the air. He has a strong core.

Instead of a slam dunk, Brown scored with a somewhat ugly layup.

Olajuwon stared at Brown unkindly as he ran away.

Damn little brat!

But what Olajuwon didn't expect was that Brown would come again soon.

He positioned himself in the middle and reached for the ball.

When the ball arrived, he didn't move around too much, but just pushed forward.

The movement was solid and powerful, giving Olajuwon the illusion that a brown bear was pushing him.

With just one step, Brown was up.

It's simple, without any unnecessary movements, just confront first, and then force a hook shot.

Enter again!

Olajuwon's face began to look unnatural.

This unskilled style of play reminded him of a guy with a dull expression.

He couldn't help but want to complain.

Young man, you are only 19 years old, why do you have to play basketball so maturely?

On the sidelines, seeing Brown score again, Ewing couldn't help but laugh, and said to Jad Buechler next to him: "Did any of you secretly give him some advice? This kid is so smart."

Any inside player who tries to show off his skills in the low post against Olajuwon is basically doomed.

Anyway, based on Ewing's own experience, when playing against Olajuwon, you have to fight him head-on.

He is indeed not afraid of confrontation, but he plays too smartly because he has too many offensive means. Many times he can get luxurious data without fighting you head-on.

So this is why even in a one-on-one duel under the basket, O'Neal can gain a huge advantage with his body, but it is still difficult to stop Olajuwon from scoring high points and leading the team to victory.

Now, facing a 38-year-old Olajuwon who is injured and at the end of his career, Brown's physical style of play is the most suitable.

Buchelor shook his head and thought to himself, I didn’t teach you that.

But he also realized that if he continued to play like this, Olajuwon would soon be replaced.

Sure enough, more than eight minutes later, when Brown once again bent down to push Olajuwon away on the right side of the backboard and forced a foul, Lenny Wilkens decisively replaced Olajuwon early.

He was replaced by Keon Clark, nicknamed Octopus.

It is said that he is also a player whose head below the hood is all Garnett.

He has a slender body, can run and jump, and is especially good at blocking shots.

But this kind of player is exactly the player Brown likes to deal with.

They were just like Chandler, whom he had beaten in the workout.

You have speed, and so do I.

I have a strong body, but you don't.

Therefore, not long after Clark came up, he was slightly shocked by Brown.

Pick-and-roll at the corner, McGrady cuts to the basket, and Brown starts at the same time.

At the last moment, McGrady changed direction and threw the ball behind him.

Brown followed suit, jumped up, ignored Clark who also jumped up to block the shot, and chose to force his way forward.

This time, there was no tragedy of missing the dunk due to a short hand.

There was a roar.

The rim was shaking.

Brown knocked Clark away and pushed the ball into the basket.

After a moment of silence in the center of the entire water house, incredible cheers broke out.

"Gemini!"

No one knew who started shouting first, but in the end, the whole venue was filled with the Gemini's cheers in unison.

Last season, all Orlando fans were looking forward to Hill and McGrady forming the Magic twin stars.

As a result, a meteor shower came.

At this moment, after seeing the exquisite cooperation between McGrady and Brown, the fans in the stands had a strong intuition that the Magic twins they had been expecting might really be here.
