Chapter 493 Do not do basic things 6
"Your basic skills are quite good. Among the big men I have seen, you are probably the best. Your ball-handling ability is also very strong, but your skills at the basket are too rough. In fact, I personally think you are more suitable for 3 No. ”
"Your positioning is a bit vague. Practice skills around the basket, rebounding, defense and perimeter together... Actually, it's not necessary. You Cavaliers have O'Neal, and they are already the absolute hegemon in the league at the basket. Wouldn't it be better for you to play the 3 position? But when it comes to getting rid of abilities, it’s better to ask Old Earl to teach you, that’s his unique skill.”
"If you prefer strength training and don't want to gain weight, haha, LeBron, you are really in the right place. This is what we do!"
"Run, run! The amount of running today is not enough. I'm testing it for you. Don't think you can rest after the training program is over. We only have three months!"
"Sprint! Sprint, sprint, sprint! Are all your muscles growing in vain? I want to see your explosive power!"
…………
After training, LeBron left through the back door to avoid the sight of students.
The dormitory where I live is also the same one that Lin Dong once lived in.
The room was very small. Although Lloyd specially changed it into a large bed for him, it still seemed too crowded in this narrow room, and he couldn't straighten his legs.
Curling up on it reminded LeBron of the little bed he once had at Coach Frank's house.
He turned around and looked at the room where Lin Dong had lived.
I saw two posters of Jordan on the wall, but unlike the usual fans who collect posters as treasures, there are actually some random words written on this poster with a pen. The words are written in Chinese, often with only a few words. , and also marked with some numbers: 8.25, XXXX... 9.2, XXXXX...
And so on, and based on LeBron's understanding of Lin Dong, he can probably guess that this is the date record when he first came to the Lloyd training base, but he doesn't know what the Chinese on it is.
If it were the LeBron who was obsessed with studying Lin Dong before he came here, the first thing he would do now would be to find a translator to see what these Chinese words are.
But at this time, LeBron was just looking at the words on the poster quite calmly, with a deep look in his eyes.
Thanks to the research on Lin Dong these days, and watching the duel between Kobe and Lin Dong from the perspective of a bystander, and even more thanks to the detailed video after the game, there is a camera recording what Lin Dong said to Kobe What he said: The meaning of sports realm is to transcend oneself. It is meaningless to choose others as the goal of transcendence. Studying me will not let you beat me, it will only make you lose yourself!
For more than half a month since that game, LeBron has been thinking about this sentence day and night.
On the surface, this sentence is very simple. Don't put your mind on Lin Dong, work on yourself, constantly improve yourself and be yourself. After you have accumulated enough, breakthroughs will naturally come naturally. But only when you break through the limit, Only then are you qualified to use one of your peak strengths to compete with Lin Dong, and only then are you qualified to compete with him to see who has the stronger limit.
But the simpler the superficial meaning is, the harder it is to truly understand it.
Improve yourself and push your limits?
It's really easy to say...
How to improve?
Whether it's Kobe or himself, who hasn't been targeting Lin Dong in the past two years and training hard?
But is it useful? What is the real limit? Is there a standard?
Frankly, LeBron himself doesn't know.
I don’t know what the so-called limit is, let alone how far I have to go to see that ethereal thing.
At the beginning, he didn't know how to go that way, and he couldn't even see where the road was.
It wasn't until nearly a month of anxiety, irritability, and anger that completely overwhelmed him and plunged LeBron into despair that he finally saw a vaguely feasible path.
Give up the No. 3 position and switch to the inside, but this time it is not to avoid Lin Dong, but to consolidate the Cavaliers' existing advantages and maximize the team's advantages.
Facing the strongest spear and the strongest shield, your only way is to do something to the extreme.
Either you have an invincible shield, or you have an equally invincible spear.
Even if the knight can't stop Supersonic's spear from hitting him, as long as you have an invincible spear that can pierce Supersonic's shield, at worst, you'll both die, so there's nothing to be afraid of!
And when this idea was opened, the limitations of the thinking that was originally limited to "I must win against Lin Dong" also dissipated.
You don’t have to face Lin Dong in a one-on-one challenge to win. Leading the team to win is also a win!
Then focus your training on this aspect.
Inside skills, rebounds, etc. are to consolidate the Cavaliers' inside advantage, and the outside shooting ability is to break the Sonics' infinite rotation defense. After all, the characteristics of rotation defense are destined to leak opportunities from the outside. As long as you have enough shooters, That will allow their defensive rotation to focus on one thing and not the other!
As for the Cavaliers, both Wade and Kidd are capable of three-pointers, and they are both quick-shooting three-pointers. The SuperSonics are not afraid of these two shooters. The game between the Sonics and the Cavaliers is the same. If Varejao's 3-pointers are more accurate, the Cavaliers can cross the line drawn by the Sonics, causing the Sonics' defense to collapse in an instant!
Finally, there is defense... The most defensive training LeBron does now is to sprint from the basket, rush to the outside to block shots, and use the four outside positions to hold the ball and pass the shot, while he observes the end of the ball. Click', and then save from the penalty area to block shots or interfere.
He couldn't do this at all at the beginning. The penalty area was at least two or three meters away from the outside line. The positions of the four passing balls were widely distributed. It was also a test to see whether they decided to stop passing the ball and change it to the end point. Of vision and defensive experience.
But in about half a month, with the improvement of muscle conditioned reflexes and the brain's prediction of the detailed movements of catching and shooting, LeBron began to slowly find some feelings, and he could save and interfere at any time. To a certain extent, it can occasionally cover one or two.
This kind of trick definitely won't work against Lin Dong, but now that the knot has been resolved, LeBron knows that he doesn't need to deal with Lin Dong, as long as he can catch other SuperSonics perimeter players...
All training changed from targeting Lin Dong to targeting Supersonics.
At the same time, LeBron has not forgotten Lin Dong's words of "beyond yourself."
He is building an unprecedented special inside man... an all-around inside man who can play from the 1st to the 5th position!
He is different from Kobe Bryant who can do everything. His versatility is that he only practices one or two moves in each position, and all of them are selected based on his own physical characteristics, etc., which LeBron himself calls It is a 5+1 insider.
The 1 added refers to defense.
However, such training requires a lot of time and energy. If he participates in the knight's competition normally, it is impossible to achieve any results from the training, so he took a big leave from Laura.
Fortunately, the current lineup of the Cavaliers is already very strong. Even if he is not here, this Cavaliers will probably only be in trouble when facing the SuperSonics and Lakers. It is still easy to beat other teams. His absence will not affect the Cavaliers' success. That ticket to the playoffs.
Since he had to take the entire season off to train, it would definitely not be appropriate to stay in the United States. I would probably be chased by reporters every day, so I simply ran a little further away and came to the Lloyd Training Base in Japan.
After this place became popular in Asia, their professionalism in body conditioning has also become famous around the world, which can help me.
Of course, more importantly, this was also Lin Dong's training base.
Study Lin Dong, become Lin Dong, surpass Lin Dong?
Old K's words did point him in the direction and allowed him to find a way to deal with Lin Dong to a certain extent. Old K was right.
But now, this is no longer LeBron's perception.
His consciousness gradually came back from his memories and refocused his eyes on the poster filled with dates and various incomprehensible Chinese.
"Lin Dong..." The corners of LeBron's mouth raised slightly.
He came here to train and even chose to live in Lin Dong's hut. He had only one purpose, and that was to always remind himself not to forget the mountain weighing on his head! It reminds me all the time that I must never forget the gap between the two!
This was his high school training base, but now that he is an NBA star, he still lives in that guy's high school dormitory, as if he is still chasing his high school level...
This kind of self-added imagination makes LeBron feel ashamed, but it is this shame that also makes him excited, because only in this way can it give him the greatest training motivation!
He grabbed a dart toy on the table and threw it, hitting the tip of Jordan's nose on the poster. There was also a date written down by Lin Dong: 12.12, and the dart hit the 'spot' in the middle.
The corners of LeBron's mouth raised slightly: "Practice another 200 balls tomorrow!"
………………
When it comes to being the most awesome and unique team in the league right now, the Cavaliers, Wizards, Timberwolves, etc. all have a chance to compete.
For example, Tracy McGrady, who was criticized by the media for his poor performance with the Wizards some time ago, once cursed with reporters at the news scene and clamored to wear his No. 175 jersey back. That was the number he wore in the Adidas training camp, and that number At that time, the numbers were ranked based on player strength. No. 175 meant that he was ranked last, so the reporter questioned him. He simply said, I will change the jersey of the last one to show you. You can't beep, right? The guy who is last in the rankings also plays in the NBA and gets the maximum salary. Are you guys forcing me to do this? At one point, he went to the league and forced the league to give him the privilege of giving him the three-digit jersey No. 175, but what he received was a fine from the league. But just now, the guy actually clamored to apply for a second time. , this has no personality?
For the Timberwolves, Garnett, the wolf king, got into a fight with Anthony during a game against the Nuggets. He actually teased his wife on the spot that she tasted like donuts. As a result, the furious Anthony led people to block the Timberwolves' bus. This was okay. personality?
The Cavaliers have more personalities. After losing the first game, O'Neal worked hard for half a month, but as soon as the Cavaliers won 8 consecutive victories, this guy relaxed again. Not only did he miss a game without any reason, but he also returned to the team. He lied and said he wasn't feeling well, but that night he saw him in WWE and Vincent performing a wrestling show on TV, and arranged for him to have two beautiful women with big breasts and big butts as opponents... The Cavaliers management was so angry that they vomited blood. , and as a result, the game that day was lost to the Raptors, whose performance this season was quite average.
There is no way. Although Wade and Kidd are great, they can't really lead the second and third teams. The Cavaliers' substitutes are too poor. What's worse is that there is more than one person with the same personality as O'Neal. Their LeBron has also disappeared. , and it is said that he has taken the entire regular season off!
Ask for leave? And taking a whole season off?
Oh my God!
The owners of all the league's teams are extremely sympathetic to Laura Ballmer at this moment.
It's enough to cause a headache for a team to have one player with such a problem, but the Cavaliers actually have two of them!
Who can bear this...
Fortunately, I am not the owner of the Cavaliers, otherwise I would be driven crazy by this team!
Therefore, in terms of teams and players with unique personalities, I am afraid it must be the Cavaliers.
However, when it comes to fans with personality, it has to be the Sonics.
On December 12, the SuperSonics once again defeated the Spurs, ranked second in the Western Conference, and won their 20th consecutive victory this season.
Winning 20 consecutive victories at the start of the new season would have already been trumpeted by other teams, and the local fans would have been excited for a while, but for Seattle fans, this was already familiar. The clouds are lighter and the wind is lighter.
When people in Seattle now talk about the SuperSonics' regular season record, they can only say: What? We only won this game by 25 points? Oh, this team is very capable! By the way, what team are they from?
What? Have you won 20 games in a row?
Tsk, tsk, tsk, don’t do 6! Seeing how fussy you are, be calm!
Breaking the previous record of 34 consecutive wins? Tsk, look at what you said, we need to open up the situation and be more courageous. Our goal this season is to win all!
