Chapter 203 Training(2/2)
In addition, it is said that the Sonics have another big move that will shock the entire league.
To be honest, when he heard this, Wang Hao was a little confused. He seemed to be recalling something. Could it be...
He knows that Gorilla Ewing was kicked out by the Knicks and came to the SuperSonics to join forces with Gary Payton.
It's a pity that Ewing was already very old at that time, and the Knicks treated him like this, which made him a little frustrated.
In fact, Patrick Ewing is not bad either.
Last season, Ewing was still an excellent interior defender in the NBA, and his defensive efficiency was still very good.
Moreover, in this era of extremely long-lived inside players, the 38-year-old Ewing is not incapable of playing.
If he sees the hope of winning the championship, there is a good chance to stimulate his desire and make him play harder.
After all, among the four major centers, he has the least honors.
There used to be O'Neal, but now, O'Neal has not only won the championship, but also won three MVPs in a single season.
The only problem with Ewing is that his salary is too high.
But the problem is that there is no such thing as a luxury tax in the NBA today, and it did not start until 2003.
Otherwise, the Knicks and Trail Blazers in the first two years maintained a salary level that doubled the salary cap.
In another season or two, no team will be able to do this.
Now, as long as the team is willing and the team owner has money, this is not a problem at all.
After one month of training, Tim Grover was already ready to take the money and leave.
I have to say that although this guy charges high fees, he is still very professional.
In addition to helping Wang Hao train, he also helped him improve many minor problems and minor details.
After all, the objects he studied may not be 100% perfect.
More than that, especially the way he shoots.
For a long time, Wang Hao's three-pointers have been imitating Klay Thompson's shot with one hand.
This is considered by Wang Hao to be the most formal three-point shooting action, very standard.
As for Curry's shooting style, it is special.
In order to avoid blocking shots, Curry obviously accelerated the pace of his shots, which would lead to unstable shots.
You said that Curry's shooting is very stable and accurate!
But the problem is, there is only one Curry.
Moreover, with Wang Hao's better physical condition, he does not need to worry about being blocked.
Therefore, he can choose regular shooting movements.
Of course, there are many things that can be learned, such as the low-elbow shooting posture.
This kind of shooting requires less effort and has a longer shooting distance.
The advent of the small ball era, where players' shooting range is getting farther and farther, is closely related to this shooting action.
Today's NBA players, most players' shooting movements are high elbow shooting movements.
This results in a shorter force distance and more effort when shooting.
However, there are also advantages to doing this, that is, the shooting is more stable and the hit rate is more guaranteed.
There are still obvious differences between the two shooting movements, which requires Wang Hao to adapt a little bit.
The existence of the system makes Wang Hao more confident to do it.
A month later, Wang Hao continued training, and his three trainers arranged training plans for him.
This time, Bruce Frazier and Owen Roland mainly practiced three-pointers and dribbling shooting.
He also tried a three-point step back, and the effect can only be said to be okay.
On the one hand, it is really difficult for the opponent to defend the three-pointer with a step back; on the other hand, it is indeed a bit unstable.
Harden's three-point shooting percentage of less than 40% all year round is very telling.
In other words, you still have to practice.
When the time came in August, Kobe finally sent an invitation to train with him.
Well, actually, he was harassing Kobe.
What kind of personality does Kobe have? I heard that someone has been training for a month, how can he still sit still?
No, after he recovered from his injury, he immediately invited Wang Hao to Los Angeles to train together.
However, when he came to Los Angeles, Wang Hao was really pleasantly surprised.
In addition to Kobe, he also met Tracy McGrady.
"Hi Tracy, long time no see."
"Hello, King!"
When he saw McGrady, Wang Hao's eyes shone with light. This was McGrady during the Magic era!
Yes, McGrady completed the deal during the offseason and joined the Magic.
This year's Magic team is a hot figure in the trade market and has attracted countless eyeballs.
McGrady's joining was just a small wave. No one expected that the wave would turn into a huge wave.
For the NBA, they are more willing to pay attention to Grant Hill immediately joining the Pistons and joining the Magic.
And there's Duncan.
In order to pursue Duncan, the Magic team tried their best and basically achieved their goal.
Now, the entire league is worried about whether the combination of Grant Hill and Duncan, with the assistance of McGrady, can sweep the entire league?
Not to mention other teams, even the Lakers are full of fear at this time and are looking for reinforcements.
However, Wang Hao is not worried at all, because Doc Rivers will send Duncan back to San Antonio with one sentence.
To be honest, sometimes it's really hard for you to understand what's going on in these people's minds?
The big contract and various preferential treatment have all been agreed to.
However, Duncan asked the team to reimburse his family's travel expenses for the away game, but was refused.
To be honest, the NBA only plays 41 away games in an entire season, and Duncan's family can't go to every game.
This amount of money is nothing compared to Duncan's salary.
However, Doc Rivers refused. In fact, his purpose was very simple, which was to establish the authority of the head coach.
By this time, Duncan also came to his senses.
Don't forget, Duncan majored in psychology and got good grades. He didn't understand what Rivers was thinking.
He immediately realized that the relationship between the Magic and him was actually just a business deal, so he chose to return to San Antonio.
I have to say that Duncan is quite lucky.
If he really joins the Magic, Grant Hill, who has been recovering from injuries for many years, will definitely make it difficult for Duncan to win the championship again.
Not to mention establishing the Spurs dynasty.
As for the combination of McGrady + Duncan, to be honest, Wang Hao is not very optimistic about it. McGrady's team-leading ability is a bit poor.
