Chapter 745 Howard's offensive ability is nothing! (Please subscribe!!!)

"I only charge 500 million. How about it, boy?"

Tang Qian was astonished by Moses Malone's words. After all, this kind of thing was too sudden, and he was not mentally prepared at all.

However, after a little review of the career of the nicknamed "Prophet" in front of him, Tang Qian was "thumped".

This is not a question of 500 million, this kind of opportunity is once in a thousand years.

Because Moses Malone, like the "flower bug" Rodman, basically never opened a private training camp after retiring, and he was quickly "forgotten" because he didn't like dealing with the media when he was young.At that time, even legendary stars could earn very limited money.Just like Moses Malone, his peak period, that is, the era of MVP+FMVP, was only about 200-300 million dollars.From the perspective of later generations, this is simply extremely pitiful.

生涯19载, 摩西.马龙的工资居然不超过2000万！这真是十分“寒酸”！但是你参考一下他的后辈“黑白双煞”的时代，也一样工资不高。伯德一直到了1991年都只有150万工资一年，最高也就91-92赛季的707万。而且打完这个赛季，他就因伤退役了。

The situation of "Magician" is similar, even a little worse. He signed a "marathon contract" at that time, 25 million for 2500 years, which is equivalent to how much a year?I can figure it all out.Although in that era, it was definitely a super huge contract, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The era of NBA salary explosion came, and this kind of salary gradually began to be worthless.

And "Big Bird" had a rookie contract of $60 when he joined the NBA that year, which was a sky-high price.Because in that era, only Dr. J, "Skywalker" David Thompson, Bill Walton, etc. could get this contract number.These names have long been resounding in the league, and they are superstar players.So in comparison, Moses Malone's salary is not too small.

But the bad thing is that Moses Malone has no business acumen, and he has a "bad habit" of black people, that is, he spends a lot of money on his friends, and he rarely manages his own "waste heat" after retiring. Live on your laurels.In this way, in line with the changes of the era of soaring prices, his financial resources are gradually stretched.

This is actually a very normal thing. Before the 90s, even NBA superstars had an annual salary of one million.Ordinary players even cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.Before that, for example, Wilt Chamberlain's first "10 annual salary contract" was overtaken by his old opponent Bill Russell with "5 yuan" even though he hadn't settled down for a few days.But it shows that the salary of that era was very low.However, "Dashuai Zhang" created the first NBA "million dollar contract", which was offered to him by the Lakers, and... the fuck is after tax! 125 million US dollars in [-] years!Since Russell has retired, naturally no one can compete with him.

However, the real million-dollar annual salary is not a million-dollar contract, but an annual salary. The creator of this record is none other than the man standing in front of Tang Qian.Moses Malone, the time was in the 1978-1979 season. Of course, with the addition of incentive payments and various gold awards, they broke a million together.And he is also the first person in NBA history to reach 200 million or even close to 300 million dollars.This is the 1982-1983 season. Including all bonuses that year, Moses Malone received a total of 296.5 million dollars.Shocked the entire North American sports world.

So it is ridiculous to say that he is poor!He should be one of the most money-absorbing men in the NBA that year!

But unfortunately, it’s still the words of "Gorilla" Ewing, we earn more, we spend more, so...

The current situation of Moses Malone is a bit awkward, neither up nor down.

He asked for 500 million, the first is to pretend to be aggressive, the second is to increase his social status, and the third is to calm down the young Eastern center in front of him.But what he didn't expect was that after a little thought, the other party replied: "500 million? Well, it's not impossible. But, Mr. Prophet, you have to show me a few hands first. Is this not too much?"

"You, are you really willing to give me 500 million? Well, is it US dollars???" Moses Malone is not particularly short of money now, but his pockets have long since dried up after years of sitting and eating.This amount of money, in 20132014 and [-], is not a small amount.

If you look at the 2014 U.S. Annual Per Capita Income Survey, you will find that the U.S. per capita income for that year was only $43017.Well, if converted into soft sister coins, it is about 25 soft sister coins. 500 million US dollars a year, more than 2014 times the per capita income of the United States in 100!
That's why Moses Malone was stunned. He wasn't sure if the other party was joking about him.

"It can be considered." Tang Qian said in a serious tone: "But see what you can teach me, sir. I think this is in line with the spirit of fairness and justice."

"Of course, of course!" Moses Malone's affection for Tang Qian suddenly soared: "Then when are you free?"

"I have it today." Tang Qian originally planned to watch the rest of the Rookie Challenge, but since he had such an opportunity, he naturally didn't intend to miss it.So the two hit it off, and soon drove out of the arena and went to a private arena.

The United States is a big sports country with a well-developed sports economy, so it is not difficult to find such a place.

The two paid the money and walked in.

"Okay, Mr. Prophet, what are you going to teach me? Rebounding?" Tang Qian got straight to the point at the beginning, and he also thought about this question on the way.The purpose is to test whether Moses Malone is really ready to teach him, or whether he has the ability to teach him.Because of rebounding, he is no worse than the peak of the latter at all. Even if his offensive rebounding is slightly worse, it is definitely not far away.If his rebounding crystal brick can be raised to nine pieces, then Moses Malone may not be his opponent.According to the description of Harvey Pollack, the patriarch of NBA data, Chamberlain's offensive rebound peak period should be about 10 per game.It looks amazing!

However, considering that he has averaged 27+ rebounds per game many times in the regular season, it is not surprising to count 10 offensive rebounds.

After all, there are still 17 backcourt rebounds guaranteed.

So this, Tang Qian is not saying that he is not interested, but he believes that this is not worth "500 million US dollars".

He doesn't care that much about this beautiful knife, but...it doesn't mean that he is "a fool with a lot of money".

It depends on how Moses Malone answers.

Moses Malone seemed to have noticed something, and he also curled his mouth and smiled, "Do you think I'm going to teach you rebounding?"

"I've watched a lot of your games, and I don't think I have anything to teach you about that alone. Dennis has a good eye, and you're a true rebounding genius."

It's because he has a good eye, if I hadn't been stalking and cheating me back then, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to me, okay?

"So..." Moses Malone changed the subject and said, "What I want to teach you is scoring."

Score?Score! ! !
This sentence successfully attracted Tang Qian's attention, because now, he really has "no way to break through" in this item.

And after Kobe leaves next year, he is bound to make greater contributions on the offensive end, which requires an improvement in offense.

Otherwise, just for defense, this help is still too limited.

Kobe is here, that's no problem, the score is guaranteed, and Kobe is gone?There is such a big scoring gap all of a sudden, how can it work if he doesn't fill in some of it?

Defense is the guarantee of winning, but scoring is the basis of winning.

Can't score, so what's the matter?
And during this period of time, Tang Qian opened the Silver Score Card + Silver Month Card, and tasted the unsolvable feeling of scoring for the first time. It is impossible for him not to think about it.But now, apart from his rapid improvement off the ball, his autonomous offensive ability has not increased much. This is what Tang Qian feels very entangled at present.

No matter how strong the offensive ability off the ball is, it also needs to rely on a strong point guard, which is far less free than the ability to attack independently.

According to the historical trajectory of the original time and space, Nash will retire at the end of this season, and he will not be able to support the full contract time.So he doesn't have much hope and support.If he wants to achieve results and become a superstar as soon as possible, this is a hurdle he must pass.

Otherwise, he doesn't have as many outstanding Hall of Fame teammates as Bill Russell around him, and he may not be able to enter the super giant field for a lifetime.

Therefore, Moses Malone's remarks can be regarded as "timely rain", and Tang Qian came to "send charcoal in the snow".

However... in history, Moses Malone's offensive skills were unanimously evaluated as rough, and he didn't have any "offensive stunts" to become famous for, so... what can he teach himself?
"Is it really a score? Mr. Prophet?" Tang Qian asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course, I've said it all. You don't need me to teach you rebounding, and teaching you has limited effect. It's not worth 500 million."

"Then may I ask, what aspect of my offense should I improve? Is it off-the-ball offense or independent offense?" Tang Qian asked, because this is the most concerned point.Off the ball, he has reached the top level, but there are too many restrictions. For example, now, he can hardly play at his full strength, and can only be greatly reduced.But if it's an autonomous attack...

"Of course it's about independent attack." Moses Malone said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who plays offense without the ball?"

Tang Qian was completely interested when he heard the words, and began to say quickly: "Then what is the offensive technique? Is it a hook? Back? Or low? Or the footsteps?"

"None." Moses Malone shook his head and said.

"Neither? This..." Tang Qian was also stunned, he didn't understand what the latter was trying to say.

"It's a hard attack at the basket."

"Hard attack at the basket? This, what is this?" Tang Qian was a little dazed, because he seemed to have never heard of this technical move.

However, he didn't think the other party was "playing", because when he said these few words, the latter's eyes clearly showed pride.

It's as if he is the overlord of this field.

Unless he is an Oscar winner, Tang Qian really doesn't believe that ordinary people can "act" this feeling.

"Well, Mr. Prophet, can you be more specific? This is too general, and I think it's hard for me to understand." Tang Qian didn't give a shit about Moses Malone, and explained directly: "The so-called hard attack at the basket is Literally, hand-to-hand combat under the basket, including forced shots under the basket, forced confrontation to score, forced second offense under the basket, etc."

Forced a shot at the basket?Forced to score against the basket?Force a second attack at the basket? ? ?This... Isn't it just 6 words after saying so much, is it a forced attack at the basket?But this, what is there to learn? ? ?

Who wouldn't?
And this kind of attack, how can there be any skills and techniques at all?

Tang Qian was obviously disappointed after hearing this. All this fell into the eyes of Moses Malone, and he said, "What's wrong? Do you think this is too simple? So you're not interested?" The other party saw it. Embarrassed: "No, Mr. Prophet, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that even if you master this thing, it won't improve your ability to attack independently, right?" Tang Qian said with a wry smile: "It doesn't mean anything else, I just think this thing is too..."

"Then how many points do you think you can average per game now?" Moses Malone interrupted and asked.

"If it's off the ball, with a point guard master, I'm confident that I can average around 15+ to 18+ per game, and 20+ is not unthinkable. But if it's just independent offense, I guess 5+ is difficult now." Tang Qian said truthfully, because he averages about 8 points per game now, but out of the 8 points averaged this time, a certain proportion of off-ball points is also accounted for, so it does not mean that he now has the ability to score 8+ points on his own. .

The two should not be confused, they are not the same thing.

"Then why do you think Howard can average 20+ or ​​even 22+ per game in his peak period? Does he have any particularly good offensive skills?" Moses Malone asked again.Tang Qian thought for a while, frowned and said, "It's probably because of his particularly good physical fitness."

"Extremely good physical fitness? Don't be joking, hot, will your physical fitness be worse than him?" Moses Malone said: "And who told you that you must have top physical fitness to be good at the basket?" Saying that, our "Mr. Prophet" said a particularly domineering sentence, saying:
"If I had his physical fitness back then, I would have averaged at least 35+ points per game. Why should he be complacent when he was only 22+ at his peak? He didn't even average 25+ per game, not even a first-class scorer. What a waste of talent! An average of 22+? What is an average of 22+ per game?"

Average 35+ points per game?Come on, is this bragging?This is something that "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has never done.

"Don't believe it?" Moses Malone snorted and said, "I was only 208cm back then, weighing less than 250 pounds, plus I was born with small hands, didn't I also get an average of 31+ points per game? If you give me his kind Jumping and stature, I said that it is not difficult for me to average 35+ per game."

Yes, yes, I forgot, this guy has proven himself, he is an inside monster who has entered the super scorer stage.

However, how did Moses Malone, who was unanimously rated as "rough technology" by the outside world, achieve this?
Just because of the middle distance that he sometimes had at that time?This is obviously not the main reason.

Could it be... is it really the so-called "hard attack at the basket" in his mouth?

"That kid Howard hasn't fully utilized his offensive potential at all. He may think that averaging 22+ per game is the limit of his style of play." Moses Malone smiled slightly mockingly: "It's funny, give yourself You set a limit, and you think it's the limit? It's really lonely in the modern insider!"

"But compared to Howard, you, hot, you are even worse. You actually told me that you can't average 5+ points per game. What a waste of your superhuman physical talent." Moses Malone said: "Let me tell you , Offensive skills are very useful, but the lack of offensive skills at the basket does not mean that you can't become a super scorer."

"As long as you use your body and your determination to the max."

"And you are completely failing at this point, you can't score 100 points or 10 points!"

"Your use of your body on the offensive end is really terrible! It's so bad that it makes people want to cry!"

Moses Malone said bluntly.
