The next morning, Chi Liang came to the training hall early, but he did not train immediately, but spread out a few newspapers and read happily.

I defeated the Lakers yesterday. Due to the high topic, major newspapers conducted key reports on the sports sections.

"Seriously underrated rookies, general managers and scouts of major teams, please keep your eyes open" - New York Times

"O'Neal: The Nuggets Will Make a Playoffs" - nugglove

"Controversial Punishment, the stolen victory!" - Los Angeles Times

"Asian Rising Stars Booked Best Rookie!" - US Express

"He shouldn't be in Denver, he should go to Los Angeles!" - Washington News

...

Except for a few newspapers, most newspapers have conducted key reports, and many of them are also front-page headlines.

Although the NBA's fame has increased greatly due to Jordan, the gap between the Rugby League and Major League Baseball is still obvious.

Being able to rank on the front page is enough to show the topic of this game, and the focus is on reporting Chi Liang's performance.

So far, Chi Liang has played in a total of three games, averaging 21 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block per game.

The most exaggerated thing is that Chi Liang's average time is less than 30 minutes.

There is no doubt that this is superstar-level data, which all illustrates Chi Liang's strength.

Of course, Chi Liang's phenomenal performance will inevitably be targeted by other teams and may be restricted. In addition, the tightening season schedule is dense, so he is extremely tired and may even encounter a rookie wall.

The so-called rookie wall refers to the fact that rookies usually lose their state for a certain period of time after entering the NBA, just like an invisible wall blocking the way forward. Most rookies will hit this evil wall to varying degrees during their debut season.

Despite this, even the most picky media have changed their words at this time, and they unanimously agreed that Chi Liang's draft pick was seriously underestimated.

In addition, reports like the Los Angeles Times are common, believing that the "Miller Kick" affects fairness and justice, and the league should change the penalty for the "Miller Kick".

As for the league's response, it's not something Chi Liang can know, but this is just a regular season game after all, and the league will not promulgate the "Reggie Miller Law" in advance.

The NBA is still mainly based on the inside line, and the four major points guards are far from reaching their peak. Only Iverson is famous. Kobe has just become the second in command, Carter is still a rookie, and McGrady is still on the bench.

If the ‘Reggie Miller Law’ is promulgated, the outside line will inevitably be weakened, and the shooter led by Reggie Miller will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

In addition, this is a shrinking season, and Jordan's second retirement, the influence of NBA has declined a lot. With Stern's shrewdness, how could he tie his hands and feet?

As for O'Neal's comment, especially the saying "Denver is not suitable for him, he should go to Los Angeles", it pushed Chi Liang to the forefront.

The Nuggets general manager at this time was also worried about this. He placed two documents on George's desk, from the Rockets and the Lakers. They had the same purpose and wanted to get Chi Liang.

Judging from the quote, the Lakers are more sincere. They are willing to trade Ji Liang with JR Reed and next year's first-round draft pick.

These two quotations are mainly based on temptation. As long as the Nuggets have the idea of ​​a deal, they can bargain with them and gain greater benefits.

"Tell them that we don't have the idea of ​​trading Chi Liang for the time being!"

After a long time, George took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart. He saw Chi Liang's performance. If such performance continues, his value will continue to increase.

There are also risks. Many rookies often perform well at the beginning, but after being targeted by their opponents, their performance declines sharply and may even be lost in the public.

There are also some rookies, and the rookie season is the peak. To continue their performance, it is mainly related to the rookie's self-discipline, injuries and the team's attention.

When George made a decision, Chi Liang had already read the newspaper and felt comfortable and more or less released some pressure.

At this time, McDace came to the training hall.

McDyce is a technical power forward. His body is not very explosive, and he is more excellent in bounce. His ability to score 2010 data in a few consecutive games is closely related to his efforts.

"Good morning, my friend!"

"Good morning, Antonio!"

As long as there is time to rest, the two of them will come to the training hall early and become friends naturally.

After warming up, McDace suddenly asked, "Chi Liang, instead of boring training, we should teach each other. You teach me to shoot, I teach you to play singles at a low position, what do you think?"

In these three games, Chi Liang's average shooting percentage remained high, exceeding 55%, and McDace felt very envious.

Obviously, in addition to having a good feel, Chi Liang also masters some shooting tricks, such as step back shooting, turnover jump shot, emergency stop jump shot, backward jump shot, and even drift shot. He has practiced well.

Especially the three-pointers, they are faster and more accurate than Miller.

Without hesitation, Chi Liang chose to agree. This can be said to be mutual benefit and mutually strengthening each other's skills.

As a top power forward, McDace has extremely skilled low post skills, which is also the key to becoming a top power forward.

Compared with McDace, Chi Liang's low-level singles mainly rely on his body to eat, and does not have much skill content. If he encounters a small forward with a strong body, it will be embarrassing to use low-level singles.

As long as you master Mike Dess' low-level singles, Chi Liang's strength will definitely go further and will be less likely to be targeted.

After Chi Liang agreed, McDace did not hide his personal information. While serving as his defensive target, he taught low-level singles step by step.

"First of all, the position is very important. The best position is naturally the waist position. After receiving the ball in this area, even if you turn to the bottom line, you still have a shooting angle, and turning left and right is also appropriate!"

"When you are in a position, try to lower the center of gravity. The lower set must be stable and do not let the opponent push you away from the position easily. In addition, if you want to play singles in the penalty area, the concept and movement of protecting the ball must be strengthened."

"When you are behind your back, you must sense the opponent's defensive focus. I will teach you the positioning skills first!"

McDace introduced it in a general way, and then began to guide Chi Liang's positioning skills.

Singles at low positions may seem simple, but it is difficult to achieve overnight. To achieve mastery, there are many techniques that need to be learned, such as ball skills to position, perceive the opponent's defensive center of gravity, turning left and right, sliding sideways with left and right hands, picking baskets with left and right hands, etc.
