Super Small Forward

Yes, Aldridge didn’t think wrong at all. If he stayed in Los Angeles for a while like Monroe, he didn’t need to be stationed, he wouldn’t have to go to Kupchak, just let out a message that he wanted to go to the Lakers, Ku Pucek will soon apply the set of making Liu Ren back when he signed Monroe to Aldridge.

But the key is that Monroe took the initiative to tell Kupchak that he wanted to go to the Lakers, and Aldridge didn't reveal any signs that he wanted to go to the Lakers!

As for Bi Yongbo, the Hornets gave it away for nothing. Why not exchange a 3.33 million junk contract for an inside coolie whom Liu Ren wants to partner with.

Just like raising Thackeray, Liu Ren's best brother in the team, allowing Liu Ren to play steadily, Bi Yongbo's 3 million a year has the same effect.

And Kupchak is a bit superstitious, he is superstitious that the teammates Liu Ren wants are all fine products...

...

...

Liu Ren has begun systematic training.

Given that Liu Ren has a strong strength advantage in the four positions from point guard to power forward, and the Lakers' interior line is full to explode next season, there is no need to play power forward from time to time like last season, so training The teacher told him to stop the strength training and mainly practice physical fitness and joint muscle protection.

This could not be better for Liu Ren.

Liu Ren's technical growth is relatively slow, except for shooting, other skills are basically the same as when he just crossed over, because he has been gaining weight and strength training in the past two offseasons, and in that case, he must maintain shooting training. Steady growth has been very hard, and there is no time to figure out new skills. Now it is finally time to develop new offensive positions.

Although Liu Ren won the scoring champion last season, many experts still questioned whether his scoring ability is really strong enough to average more than 35 points per game. Most people think that he is invincible on the Lakers lineup. Of light.

Now Liu Ren is best at scoring a few methods.

The first and most used one is the catch and shoot after running, and the shooting range is good, and the middle distance to the three-point line has a good shooting rate.

The Lakers have three major support points: Green, Antetokounmpo and Gasol. Two of them are always on the court. Liu Ren, who has excellent running awareness, has many opportunities to catch and shoot.

The second offensive technique is to cut into the basket without the ball and hit the basket. The efficiency is already the best among outside players. Except for James, a guy who has an extremely abnormal shooting percentage on the inside, he is not on the outside. The opponents are even stronger than most insiders.

These two routines are Liu Ren's offensive methods that scored more than 60% of the points last season, and they are also the most criticized by those experts.

Both of these play styles are ball-free play. They will do well in good position and accurate shooting. Of course, other people can't reach Liu Ren's score, but after all, they will give others a way that he depends on three organizations. The passer can get the impression of so many points.

In addition to these two most commonly used and most suitable for the team's tactical system, Liu Ren has several other scoring methods.

The first is the second offense. His offensive rebounds are good. Last season, the guys Whiteside, Antetokounmpo and Gasol grabbed so many rebounds. Liu Ren still got seven or eight rebounds per game. Half of them are offensive rebounds. As for the defensive rebounds, the reason is that Whiteside and Green are too good for grabs.

Followed by mid-range and inside singles, his inside shots and mid-range throws and rushing into the basket after slamming others are good.

Then came the crappy back-up singles, which sometimes worked well.

There is also the strong jump with the ball, which is the strongest point of Liu Ren's personal offense. It is very lethal and can easily attract double teams, but it is not used frequently because the Lakers play team basketball.

However, the team basketball of the Lakers makes everyone feel very strange that it can maintain the average scoring of the team while making Liu Ren such a scoring champion...

All that is left is all kinds of dry jump shots after shaking people. There are threats. When the time is correct, the thieves are allowed, and when the time is not allowed, the thieves are iron.

After listing all his scoring methods on the signing board, Liu Ren also began to understand his goal of training.

Shooting in the close range is very important. It is said that the middle distance is an awkward position and the efficiency is very low, but Liu Ren thinks that the short distance is the most embarrassing position, and some people say that the middle distance is the most embarrassing position. The areas outside the collision zone are all regarded as middle distances, and in fact they have to be divided a little bit more finely.

The opposing center stays at the position that can defend the most in a reasonable collision zone, which is close range. This distance is actually the position that lowers the shooting rate. Jumpers in this position are too easy to be disturbed. Want to continue to kill inside is too easy to be blocked.

So being able to practice shooting accuracy at this position and skills such as throwing shots and hook shots would be beautiful.

Liu Ren thought of Kareem, and Kareem was at a distance that the opponent could barely guard against but he didn't dare to completely guard against him. He shot his opponent to death, and then won the historical scoring champion!

However, the sky hook is not meant to be a sky hook, nor is it a sky hook that is a little farther away. Liu Ren just found that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s hook is different from others when watching the video. The point, the key is that the other party can't interfere at all!

This kind of thing is the same as Olajuwon’s dreamy footsteps. It seems that it’s the same thing, but it’s the best way to follow the practice. Kobe’s back hitting was enough back then, so he ran to find Olajuwon to learn the dreamy footsteps. Then it was too good to be unnecessary, and Nowitzki said that he had caught the sky hook for 18 years, but it was still not good.

But even if he teaches himself, it’s not necessarily reliable. Olajuwon has retired for more than a decade and has opened numerous training camps. There are many players who ran to pay the not cheap tuition to study. The result was only Yao Ming and Kobe. Learned.

And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook... no one learned it after he retired.

But relatively speaking, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s sky hook is more eager to learn than Olajuwon. The magician used the sky hook to kill at the beginning, and the reason why the sky hook is now lost is largely because of the lack of training. Camp, and occasionally teaches the Lakers center.

Then the Lakers' recent three top centers, O'Neal, Bynum, and Howard have not learned.

Bynum was injured all the year round and he couldn't train without training. He also talked about practicing the sky hook. Once he recovered, he would lose weight, and then he would be injured again after a short period of time.

Neither O'Neal nor Howard can shoot the ball.

However, Liu Ren is still very interested in Tian Gou. In the future, when everyone runs to shoot three-pointers, such a small forward with inside singles will be exceptionally prominent, and because everyone shoots three-pointers and defends It's also affected. At this time, a small forward who has an inside hook will definitely be very different.

If you want to dominate the NBA, how can you not be a little different from others?

And the sky hook technique is really practical! A little more offensive skill is never a bad thing.

Dreamy footsteps Liu Ren is going to put it aside first. He is too greedy to chew. He wants to strengthen his shot bag first, and then strengthen his footsteps.

So Liu Ren was going to find Jabbar, but he didn’t have the contact information of Jabbar. It can even be said that he hadn’t seen Jabbar for so many years. The magician occasionally smiled and gave pointers to Lavin and Clarkson, Jabbar. It is said that since he was angry at Howard, he was reluctant to come to Staples Center.

Abdul-Jabbar was enthusiastic about teaching the newly traded league's first center Howard Skyhook, but Howard just couldn't learn it!

I didn’t make this free throw, and I practiced the hook... In short, Howard declined Kareem’s desire to teach him the sky hook, which made Kareem feel that his face was dull. He had not been to Staples in the past two years. Centered.

And Liu Ren was a little shrimp before Howard left the Lakers. A celebrity like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't even say a word to him. After Liu Ren came to this time and space, he never saw Kareem.

But it doesn't matter, there is always someone there. Liu Ren found Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's old teammate, the current general manager of the Lakers, Mediterranean bald Mitch Kupchak, and talked about it.

Kupchak's reaction surprised Liu Ren.

"Boss, do you want to learn to hook? Mark (Assistant Mark Madsen) has a very good hook. You can practice with him." Kupchak said.

The often fierce curly-haired white short center is now the team's defensive assistant?

It was said that it was a defensive assistant, which means that the offense was not very dripping. Liu Ren also checked the background of these assistants in his own team and found that Mark Madsen was very active and energetic and then was the Lakers in 2001. The selected home player is also a Californian. He grew up in Los Angeles and his local popularity is not low. That's why he has been an assistant coach for the Lakers just like the nails.

Given that Mark Madsen often guides the shooting actions of rookies who have just entered the NBA on the team, Liu Ren believes that he may have a real talent problem that caused him to average only 6 points per game when he was a player. Liu Ren was full of black lines and asked Kupchak: "You said that Mark and I were standing at close range to practice hooks. Will he make half of my shots?"

Kupchak thought for a while. It seems that Mark Madsen is going to teach Liu Ren to shoot... It seems to be something. This kind of assistant may be very standard, but it is just a standard of action. They have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but it is true. When it comes to teaching people, you can only teach one movement, and you have to practice the rest yourself.

And he’s not a true master of a certain technique. He doesn’t know how to grasp the details. If you only know the movements and practice, you will be the same as Nowitzki. I can only continue to study his own Golden Rooster independently giving up the sky hook, which is very suitable for his kind of floor flow inside.

"Okay, I was joking just now, but boss, if you want to learn Skyhook, I really don't recommend you to find Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Although there are not many superstars with great hooks, I still know a few." Checker was still unwilling to let Liu Ren go to Jabbar to learn how to hook, and he didn't say why.

"Mickey, are you talking about a magician? It looks good to learn from him! Then let's be a magician!" Liu Ren didn't pick it up, anyway, he was just starting to learn it. It is enough for someone who is really proficient in this technology to teach him to get started. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If you don’t talk about it, Liu Ren can only practice on his own as he did when he first learned toss, and then he practiced the board toss strangely...

"No, no, no, the magician has been a bit busy lately, and may not be available for the entire offseason. I will introduce you to another guy with a very good small hook. You have the same physical advantage as him, and the sky hook may not be suitable for you. , But the small hook is very suitable for you." Kupchak replied.

What the hell? Not a magician? Which other Lakers will hook? What kind of hook? Could it be Cobra Worthy who dunked Liberty? Liu Ren said that he had never heard of Worthy's hooking? And the hook is just a hook, what is a small hook?

Kupchak continued: "If you really want to learn small hooks, he is very happy to teach you. Know that he is a big fan of yours, and you are really suitable to learn some of his styles."

"It suits me well? Who is he?" Liu Ren asked curiously.

"Shaq O'Neal..."

"Who are you talking about?"
