Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 77 This game is delicious!

From the first time they came to Miami, what Johnson and Woody emphasized the most was that Pat Riley had very strict training requirements.

The amount of training is not something that ordinary players can complete with quality and quantity.

This kind of training can indeed make a player better, but at the same time it also squeezes the player's physical functions, and it is extremely easy to leave hidden dangers.

Especially for the 18-year-old Woody, his training should be gradual, not overnight!
So at that time, Woody was already thinking about how to guarantee his training freedom if he came to Miami.He didn't think about being lazy, but he also didn't think about improving by squeezing his body.

At least for now, what he needs more is scientific training.

One day by chance, he saw an article about "boiling the eagle".

Then came the current plan.

The plan is also simple:
First let Pat Riley know that he is a "training freak"!Create a character that Riley Giegie likes, you know, the eyes of the beholder.For the people you like, you will often have a good feeling in your heart, with filters in your eyes.

Then let Pat Riley accompany him to "crazy".

At 4:[-] in the morning, no matter how healthy an old man is, he can't handle it!
But it's reasonable for him to do so...

Who made him play for only one year!
The foundation in all aspects is still very weak, and a professional person is needed to help him grow!
All in all...

Improper, no, perfect!
No, Pat Riley, who was hiding in the corner, received a call, and showed a relieved smile on the road:

Children can be taught!
***
Over the next few days, Woody's days became more regular.

Every day is the line between the arena and home.

Call Riley every day from 4:50 to 5 o'clock, and have a "phone porridge".Pat Riley's enthusiasm was beyond Woody's expectations, and he actually came to demonstrate it himself!

This "Eagle" is not the "Eagle" of 2-16, it is so fierce!

Johnson originally arranged for him a business event, but Woody turned it down.

The reason is……

The Charlotte Summer League is just around the corner. A few days ago, the LeBron James team also officially announced that they will play in this year's Orlando Summer League.

Woody is likely to meet LeBron James on this stage.

He didn't forget the look of LeBron James in front of him after he won the "No. 2 pick", and he didn't forget that he still has a task to complete for the "Best Rookie" award, which is [-] achievement points!
Want "best rookie", LeBron - James is definitely his biggest opponent.

Then you can't suppress him from the summer league?
These days, he is also trying to adjust his state.

After loading Kirilenko's template at the end of April, two months have passed. During this period of time, Woody, who was busy with trial training, has grown a lot, as can be seen from his system panel:

"Host: Woody;

Level: Level 2;
Age: 18 years and 57 days;
Height: 204.88cm;

Armspan: 220.04cm;

Weight: 92.2kg;”

The height is close to 2 meters. Even if the growth rate of height has slowed down recently, there should be no problem breaking through 05 meters before the start of the new season.

The weight also increases naturally, but Woody also communicated with Pat Riley during training recently, and he definitely needs to gain weight.The good news is that Woody's skeleton is indeed very good. According to the trainer's experience, the process of muscle gain will not be slow, so Pat Riley is not in a hurry and decided to let Woody finish the summer league first.

Random weight gain is likely to lead to player injuries, especially the intensity of Woody's upcoming summer league, which is much higher than his high school league.

Or take your time!

Although Pat Riley is a training freak, he still knows a little "basic law".

"Physical attributes:
上肢力量：73（91）；下肢力量：73（93）；核心力量：78（97）；协调性：84（95）；速度：79（93）；横移脚步：78（90）；爆发力：80（95）；弹跳：81（95）；体能：80（90）；伤病抗性：95（95）；”

"Offensive attributes:

The most obvious improvement is his physical fitness.

Huge potential With Woody coming to the age group with the fastest development, he jumped up "噗噐噗" and couldn't be stopped at all.

The physical fitness of some players looked mediocre in high school, but it immediately changed drastically when they arrived in college, and this is the reason.

Even Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball", was only 1 meters in high school, but he grew nearly 75 centimeters taller in the summer vacation when he was 18 to 19 years old, and his physical fitness also undergone tremendous changes.

Woody has reason to believe that he also got a system...

In other aspects, due to previous shortcomings, even if the potential is huge, the speed of cashing out is still not as fast as Woody's speed of crossing classes.

From the high school league directly to the NBA, this span is really a bit big, so that his increase is not bad, but it still looks reluctant.

If the attributes on the offensive end are averaged, it can probably be overwhelming in the NCAA, but in the NBA, it may be at the level of an NBA drinking fountain.Fortunately, the summer league is almost full of players of this level.

The defensive end is much better, but it is only the level of NBA rotation players.

I don't know how much I can grow before the rookie season, in case these aspects are not satisfactory...

His gaze returned to the column of physical attributes.

He can only follow his old teammates first, and go through the flow of physical fitness!
what?
You said it wasn't physical fitness that made it look like Woody's high school league?

Just kidding, go out and ask, what is "from one dozen to five"!
Without any technology, how can he have this nickname?
On July 7, the NBA free agency opens.

This is the busiest time of summer every year, and many big deals in the NBA are completed on this day.

This year is an exception. Every household basically focuses on maintaining stability.

On the contrary, the news that Karl Malone was going to leave came from Salt Lake City, but not many people believed it. They all thought it was a gimmick that had no news in the summer.

On July 7, the Heat's summer league team assembled and officially set off for Orlando.

Pat Riley stood at his office window, watching the bus head to the airport.

A burst of relief for no reason.

Woody is finally gone!

He can finally sleep soundly!

During this period, this guy went to the arena to train at 4 o'clock in the morning every day, which is called hard work and diligence.

The only downside is that...

This girl calls too often!
Pat Riley was also very enthusiastic at the beginning, but gradually felt weak, and gradually retreated a little bit.

This reminded him of the psychological changes he experienced when he was 30 to 40 years old...

I can't say they are exactly the same, I can only say that they are completely similar!
Of course, Pat Riley also knew that it wasn't Woody's fault, but his high school head coach, couldn't he have persuaded Woody to play basketball earlier?

Wouldn't the foundation be solid?

Where do I need to be "accompanied by reading" every day like I am now!
But Pat Riley didn't want to dampen Woody's enthusiasm.

Such a talented and diligent boy is rare!
I still blame me for being too old!

I can't stand it at all!
Pat Riley blamed himself for the mistake.

He even believes that if Woody does not become a "super giant" in the future, then the responsibility is entirely on him, because he does not have enough energy to grow up with Woody.

He couldn't be more aware of the importance of the head coach to the players.

or……

Looking for another head coach?

Pat Riley, who felt deeply that his energy was limited, suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

Of course, this idea is not unique now.

As early as the reconstruction of last season, he had this idea. Now Woody's diligence makes him feel that he is powerless and unable to meet Woody's needs. He needs a younger and capable head coach to guide Woody!
He was really afraid of delaying Woody!

Hands down, Woody retired for Pat Riley.

Can……

This head coach is not found casually, he must find someone who is in line with his philosophy, otherwise Woody's path is easy to go astray.

Thinking of this, a round and fat face suddenly appeared in his mind.

***
Every year from June to September is the off season of the NBA.

Most NBA players are enjoying life during this time.

But NBA players are also different from NBA players.

Some water cooler players in the league and some rookies who have just entered the league need some games to prove or exercise their abilities, and the team also needs some on-court performance to test their favorite players.

Thus was born Summer League.

It is also because there are few "familiar faces", the low level of competition, and not many players participating.Like the Orlando Summer League that the Heat participated in this time, plus they only have 6 teams in total, so the attention has not been high.

As a result, the arenas of the summer league are often small arenas in colleges and universities, with only a few hundred seats on the sidelines.

Regardless of the lack of seats, the key point is that it is still full of seats. From this, we can see how low the exposure of this summer league is!

But this year is different, because of the arrival of LeBron James and Woody, two super popular rookies, the attention of this Orlando Summer League is directly full.

Not only the arena was chosen in the Orlando University Stadium, which can accommodate thousands of people.Tickets for the two teams' games are also more than $30.Tickets for the game between the Cavaliers and the Heat are as high as $55.

Do you know what this concept is?

Last season, the $10 game tickets at the Quicken Loans Arena were also free of ice, but they couldn't sell them.It can be seen that the flow of these two people.

This has to talk about the sneaker brands behind the two people. Nike and Adidas have shown pictures of the two people on their own media channels during this period.

Proper "star" treatment.

Spend dozens of dollars to watch the stars play, which fan would not do this?
Not to mention the fans did it, some stars and retired stars did it!

Let's just talk about the Heat's first summer league game!

In addition to the big guy "Magic" Johnson on the sidelines, there is Scottie Pippen, one of Woody's templates.Cavaliers scouts had a lot of talk about Woody's template in the media, which made him a little curious about Woody, a rookie in China.

Woody is also carefully looking at Michael - Jordan's "second child."

This talent, who he has praised himself as the representative of "high-energy basic salary", is quite explosive even in the entire NBA history.

In addition, Eddie Jones, the core representative of the Heat's team last season, also appeared on the sidelines and greeted Woody and Wade enthusiastically. It can be seen that his personality is very good.

Also, if his personality is not good, he won't be on the training ground. Facing the aggressiveness of his junior Kobe, Shaq O'Neal has to come forward.

He also came here specially for this game.

Meet the newcomers Woody and Wade in advance to promote the relationship and increase the friendship bar.

The first game of the Heat's summer league is against the Bucks.

The core player of the Bucks Summer League is TJ Ford, the 8th overall pick in the first round of this year.

A man who made Allen Iverson feel inferior in the "speed field".

If it wasn't for his spinal stenosis, he would have been drafted higher.

But even so, his draft predictions at the time were a little higher than Wade's, which shows how serious the injury that ruined the meniscus is.You can't help but admire Pat Riley's guts.

In the first round, TJ Ford used his speed to tear Wade's defense, but fortunately Wade still had Woody behind him.

The excellent lateral movement allowed Woody to get a firm foothold before Ford crossed the free throw line, and he was one step ahead of the reasonable collision zone. Ford had no choice but to pass the ball to his teammates. He was not sure that he could get rid of Woody's interference after completing a large change of direction in front of Woody.

In addition to being as fast as Allen Iverson, Ford's style of play is no different from Allen Iverson's. He is a "scorer" who uses speed to complete his shots, but Ford's scoring power is not as good as Allen Iverson's.

It's just that the teammate who got the ball didn't intend to cooperate with his teammates, so he rushed towards the basket after getting the ball.

This is also a major feature of Summer League:
Without cooperation and without teammates, taking the ball is blindly hitting Jill!
After all, they are all here for a stable contract, so if you want to get a contract, you have to play good data first.

Moreover, outside of this team, who knows who!
The ball was slapped, and it was a Bucks player who got the ball. Just like the last guy, this guy rushed towards the basket.

Woody stood still and waited until the other side started to jump before he followed suit.

At present, his jumping is at an upper-middle level in the NBA, plus this 220cm wingspan.On the other hand, the Bucks player seemed to be playing the 3rd position, but his height was only 1 meters, which was barely the height of the 95nd position.

Woody straightened his arms and gave him the feeling, just two words:
very long!

"Snapped!"

Another big hat!
In fact, Woody's blocking ability is not high, only 55 points.

That is the first-class level of the American NCAA...

But who let him have his height, wingspan and explosive body here?
Besides, blocking shots is an accumulation of experience and judgment.

Didn't see Woody's experience bar move after he blocked the shot again!

After two consecutive caps, it was the Bucks player who got the ball. He hesitated a little, but still gritted his teeth and rushed to the inside.

This time Woody was a little impatient.

Lost a foul.

But Spoelstra on the sidelines was applauding:

"Nice, nice!"

Woody's ability to protect the penalty area made him very satisfied.Woody himself didn't care, he was sent off for 10 fouls a game in summer league.His eyes are full of excitement!
The Bucks hit the basket three times just now, and the whole process took only 10 seconds...

Is this the NBA Summer League?

The rhythm and the frequency of confrontation, as well as the aggressive state of the players, are things Woody has never experienced in the high school league, which makes him full of excitement at this moment.

This game is enough!
