: Willing to Accept Loss
There was still one step away from the three-point line, but Wang Hao took the shot very cleanly, without any sloppiness.
Gary Payton immediately pounced forward, but it was still too late.
Even he had to admit that this was definitely the best choice, after all, there was a natural gap in height.
Just like Gary Payton, no matter how good his defense is, he can't face O'Neal directly. This is not a level.
After the interference was completed, Gary Payton turned back immediately, but silently said in his heart: Don't come in!
It's a pity that this basketball is obviously not familiar with Gary Payton, and he didn't hear Gary Payton's prayers.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball fell firmly into the net, immediately causing silence around the training hall, and the whole place was completely silent.
Gary Payton turned back to look at Wang Hao, with an unconvinced look on his face, but he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Gary, are you trying to say you're not ready? It doesn't matter, we can do it again!"
Hearing this, Gary Payton suddenly felt a little embarrassed, that is, he was too dark and could not see the change in his face.
"Rookie, don't be too arrogant!"
However, Gary Payton obviously did not refuse. Wang Hao smiled and simply threw the ball to Gary Payton and asked Payton to serve.
I have to say that none of these old hooligans in the NBA are so thin-skinned that they serve the ball very simply.
Still one step beyond the three-point line, Wang Hao opened his hand to shoot, looking a little too confident.
"Fake action!"
Gary Payton has so much experience that he can tell to a large extent that this is a fake move.
But the problem is that a fake shot can turn into a real shot at any time.
Gary Payton didn't dare to be careless and rushed forward. However, he still left some room and did not say that he would rush to death.
Sure enough, when he saw Gary Payton's center of gravity moving forward, Wang Hao went directly to the right to break through.
Gary Payton, who was well prepared, responded very promptly. Although he did not completely block Wang Hao's offensive line, he was able to stick to him.
Not only that, Gary Payton showed his defensive sophistication, keeping close to Wang Hao while making small moves in his hands.
Wang Hao, who broke through and entered the three-point line, suddenly stopped and pulled the ball back with a cross dribble.
However, at the moment of the emergency stop, Wang Hao also exerted a little force on his left hand and pushed Gary Payton.
The moment he pulled the ball back, there was no extra movement. Wang Hao almost stepped on the three-point line with his toes and shot.
Gary Payton turned around in time, but unfortunately the height difference meant he had to jump at least ten centimeters more.
"Whoosh!"
The crisp sound of brushing the net sounded, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
Gary Payton blushed and wanted to say a few more words, but no words came out.
Anything you say at this time will be redundant.
"I don't have time now. Every afternoon, after the training session, I will stay for half an hour."
After saying this, Gary Payton immediately stepped away. It was so embarrassing that he lost to a rookie.
He could imagine that if Jordan and Barkley knew about this, they would definitely let the whole world know.
"Thank you, Gary!"
As for the people eating melons around them, all of them had their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open at this time.
"The king really won."
"It's amazing, I didn't even use my gloves to protect myself!"
"Gary must have been careless. He didn't expect Wang's three-pointers to be so powerful."
"Even so, this is already amazing, after all, this is Gary Payton!"
…
As Brent Barry who once taught Wang Hao, he especially taught three-point shooting skills.
Brent Barry's shock was beyond words.
He knew very well that when he first came into contact with Wang Hao, Wang Hao's three-point shooting was really not that good.
Perhaps because of my childhood, there were many irregular movements in my shooting movements, and there were many problems.
Later, he witnessed with his own eyes the growth of Wang Hao's three-point shooting, which really grew up little by little.
At that time, Brent Barry was already shocked because Wang Hao learned so fast.
After not seeing each other for more than a month this time, Brent Barry feels that Wang Hao's three-point shooting has made great progress again.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of what Field said back then, that Wang Hao was actually a very talented player.
If we talk about other people's talents, they are reflected in their bodies, their athletic ability, and even their basketball IQ.
Then Wang Hao's talent is learning ability, unparalleled learning ability.
Being able to learn and master a basketball skill quickly, who dares to say that this is not a talent?
In the afternoon training session, the atmosphere was not very lively, mainly because Gary Payton kept a dark face.
As the team leader, he has such a serious attitude, how can others dare to smile?
"King, let's go!"
At first, Wang Hao thought that Gary Payton would run away today. After all, he had lost face and might not be able to clear his face.
Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to bring up the training and was willing to admit defeat. Gary Payton is still very particular.
"Thank you, Gary."
Although it was said that he had won this, Wang Hao's brain was not broken and he naturally understood the truth.
In ancient China, he was regarded as a disciple. Once he was a teacher, he was always a father.
Of course, this cannot be said in today's society, especially in foreign countries.
However, if he wants to learn skills from others, he still needs to show respect.
Otherwise, why should others teach you?
Needless to say, just such a word of thanks made Gary Payton feel a lot better mentally.
"Honestly, I also hope to see your progress. Only when you grow can our team be stronger.
To be honest, we want to enter the playoffs this year, or even go further, which is not easy."
"I understand, Gary, and I'll try my best."
"Okay, let me see what you are capable of first. Now I will attack and you will defend.
The ugly thing I said earlier is that although I agreed to give you guidance, the premise is that you have potential.
Otherwise, I don't care even if I break my promise, I can't waste so much time."
"Of course, this is as it should be."
Gary Payton was not polite and started attacking after getting the ball. Of course, attacking was not the purpose, but he wanted to know Wang Hao's defense.
He first used various fake moves to cleverly try to break through Wang Hao, as well as various post-ups.
"Confrontation can only be regarded as qualified. If you want to become an excellent defender, then confrontation must be improved.
There is also judgment, you hesitated!
King, you don't need to be too cautious, just take action when it's time to take action, don't be afraid of fouling, let alone hurt your opponent.
This is an NBA arena, not college basketball, Wang, you need to change the perception in your mind."
…
I have to say that Gary Payton is indeed a defensive expert and a player who relies on his brain to play.
The judgment and understanding of defense are very clear.
No, in just ten minutes, he had already discovered many problems with Wang Hao.
