Chapter 23 Howard’s “olive branch”

Howard's offensive methods are actually quite simple, especially in one-on-one attacks, he doesn't have many things he can use.

Or he could get to the basket in the paint and then directly lift himself up to dunk someone, just like the great shark back then, who relied on a pair of big elbows to rival the Peter Pan in the West.

One of them said elbow, so let's elbow, the other just elbow, I don't know who elbowed whom if they are a team.

It's a pity that Malone, who is elbow elbow elbow elbow, elbow elbow, elbow elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow out.

Otherwise, he just eats the cake and cooperates with the outside. There are alley-oop dunks almost every day. Last season, Nelson and Turkoglu cooperated with him more and more tacitly, and often gave him assists.

His lower body strength is weak, which is actually only compared to that of Dayao. Nowadays, most insiders in the league are average and he is really good.

You are like Ao Pang, a shark in his twilight years whose movements are slow and you can't keep up with him.

But now there is another Li Chengming. He is not called Fatty for nothing. He turns slowly and cannot move laterally. That is because compared to the outside line, Howard is still more flexible and faster than him, but Howard wants to show off in front of him.

Footsteps, playing tricks, isn't that just like competing in strength, it's just asking for trouble.

It's hard to talk about footwork. Everyone knows that Olajuwon's footsteps are great, but whoever can learn 50% or 60% of them is considered good.

And Howard obviously has no talent in this area, and technical things have nothing to do with him. Shooting, including three-pointers, may be really difficult to practice after he is too late to do anything, but other skills are over.

Under this situation, Li Chengming was not afraid of him at all.

To put it bluntly, Howard is the rough guy who was praised in the era of declining centers. It's no wonder that so many famous insiders are picky about him, thinking that he lived in a good era.

A blue-collar player can become a superstar. Who would have believed it before?

As the saying goes, one thing is better than another. Of course, the gap between Li Chengming and Howard is thousands of miles away, but he can still do it by limiting the opponent in a one-on-one duel.

He even wanted to come back in singles, but the assistant coach saw the opportunity quickly and ran out to stop him.

He was really worried that Li Chengming would disgrace Howard, because if Howard defended Li Chengming, it would be like asking Mutombo to defend O'Neal. If the best defensive player is not a dick, the Sharks will crush you directly.

Howard's strength seems to be much worse than that of Li Chengming, not even in the lower set. Li Chengming also has a shooting hand and good pace. He even has no absolute advantage in height.

The reported height is 208. I guess a height of 205 or 206 would be good.

And when Howard is not familiar with Li Chengming's style, he will really suffer in the first few balls. If he can't attack and can't defend, he will lose his face.

When he is blocked in singles, most people say that he is weak in singles, but everyone knows that Howard's strongest point is defense; but if the defense is broken, then he has to break the defense.

It's like every time he fights Dayao, he wants to regain his position, but he gets beaten badly.

This is not a competition. It is a good entertainment game. It would not be good if there would be any grudges later.

Howard still seemed very depressed because he didn't expect that he would be defeated by an unknown person. However, he was an optimist after all, and with the assistant coach at his side to persuade him, he soon became acquainted with Li Chengming.

Naturally, Li Chengming wouldn't mind. It would be enough to make the other party feel weak. Now he wants to find someone else to try his hand at.

However, after the duel with Howard, other people in the training camp immediately regarded Li Chengming as that kind of "hidden master". They were either undrafted, high school students, or college students. Just looking at this

There is no way he can compete with Li Chengming in terms of size.

Moreover, Li Chengming is different from Howard. If he wins the challenge against Howard, he will get a reputation bonus, and it will not matter whether he wins or not. But for an unknown person like Li Chengming, winning or losing is not worth it.

If you can't afford to offend him, just hide away. As a result, Li Chengming was depressed, and he could only practice three-pointers alone there.

His three-pointers were learned from Ray Allen's technical moves because he felt that his was the most standard - in fact, it was because he felt that he was the most accurate and the most beautiful.

Now that his shooting speed has been increased by the accelerator, Li Chengming's shooting posture has not changed, but to outsiders, it feels a bit awkward.

Since Howard was frustrated by him, he has paid more attention to him. After watching him on the sidelines for a while, he asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with your shooting posture?"

Li Chengming stopped and said strangely: "This is my normal shooting posture, what's the problem?"

Are you deliberately looking for trouble?

He didn't think it was abnormal, because it was the rhythm he was accustomed to, and he thought that the black guy was embarrassed by him and wanted to regain his face.

"Um..." Howard thought for a while, and really didn't know how to explain it. After all, he didn't shoot three-pointers, and he didn't know if everyone shot three-pointers like this.

I just watched too many other people shoot three-pointers, so I felt that Li Chengming was a bit weird.

This is training, not a three-point contest. Why are you shooting so "hurriedly"?

"Okay," Howard scratched his head, not knowing what to say, and then in Li Chengming's inexplicable gaze, something suddenly occurred to him, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Hey, kid, are you interested in following me in a while?

Let’s go to the national team training together?”

Li Chengming was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Is this...appropriate?"

The national team training that Howard is going to participate in, isn't that the training of the American team?

To be honest, Li Chengming was really excited because there were NBA stars there, and it was much better than this training camp.

It’s just that he thought to himself that I haven’t even participated in the national team of my home country, so why should I participate in the training camp of the American team?

If this spreads out and the media doesn't say anything, the old father will be the first to kill himself.

Howard laughed and said: "Whatever is appropriate or not, do you think I want you to join? I'm just going to be a sparring partner, and I'll take you there to learn more."

Li Chengming is quite smart, and he immediately realized that Howard was not being kind, and of course it was not towards him, but towards his national team teammates.

This living treasure probably lost his temper here and couldn't think straight for a while. He didn't know how to regain his position. In this case, the best thing to do is to drag more people into the water together.

If everyone loses face, then he will not stand out so much.

He might have thought that everyone else in the American men's basketball team would be as stupid as him and come to Li Chengming to take the blame.

But if other stars come to beat him, it's hard to say whether it's a crime or not. For example, if Kobe plays in singles, Li Chengming will definitely not be able to guard him. He can only keep up with the interference as much as possible, and then hope that he can strike on his own.

But when playing alone, you can't only take beatings. You can also beat them. Li Chengming felt that they might not be able to defend him.

His confidence in himself comes from his body. Even in the NBA, he can bully many people. As long as he is not in a game and does not suffer from physical exertion, isn't he a one-on-one weapon?

Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Li Chengming has a humble apprentice mentality at this time. It would be better if he is abused, which means that he has a lot of room for growth and can learn more experience. Anyway, he is a rookie, and he will not be embarrassed by those famous stars.

.

Moreover, staying with them, let alone talking about training, just getting to know each other first, is also a way to expand your network. There are people in the industry everywhere, and it will be convenient if you want to change teams in the future.

Hey, why would I think of changing teams?

But you definitely can't decide this kind of thing on your own, you have to discuss it with your father.

When he heard that he wanted to ask his father, Howard laughed and said, "How old are you, and you can't make your own decisions?"

Then he couldn't help but mutter: "Why did I lose to such a stupid boy?"
