After returning to Denver, D'Antoni randomly announced the team's day off.

This is also impossible. After going through back-to-back games, all the players except the water dispenser guards felt very tired.

The next morning, Chi Liang lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling quietly. Even after resting for a night, he still felt tired and wanted to stay in bed.

After all, he is still a rookie. As soon as he entered the NBA, he encountered a intensive shrinking season. Even old players will be affected when they encounter this heavy schedule, let alone rookies.

This time, I woke up later than usual, and at the same time I felt lazy all over my body.

While washing up, looking at himself in the mirror, Chi Liang's eyes became a little more confused, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she felt like she was getting stuck in the slightest way.

After joining NBA, Chi Liang put down everything and devoted himself to basketball. He liked basketball very much and paid a lot for it.

Closed his eyes, Chi Liang had many thoughts flashed through him. After opening his eyes again, his eyes returned to clear.

"We must be alert at all times. Now is not the time to slack off!"

Feeling the change in mentality, Chi Liang became alert. If he continues to be lazy, his performance may be affected, which is commonly known as the rookie wall.

After washing up, Chi Liang left the apartment, walked towards the training hall, and bought a few newspapers on the way.

Along the way, Chi Liang met several fans asking for autographs, and he was also satisfied one by one and enjoyed the fun of increasing his fame.

After coming to the training hall, Chi Liang did not see other players. In the huge training hall, he and a few trainers were the only ones.

Without training immediately, Chi Liang spread out the newspaper and admired the media's praise for him.

Yesterday's match against the Supersonics was full of topics. Whether it was record data, the Nuggets' surprise victory over the Supersonics, malicious fouls or even hitting people on the court, they naturally became the key targets of major newspapers.

"Nuggets beat Supersonics, Super Rookie Sets NBA Record" - nugglove

"McMilan: He Will Be a Superstar!" - The New York Times

"McLan: He kicked me twice!" - Los Angeles Times

"Super Rookie Booked Best Rookie!" - Washington News

"The King of Section 4?" - United States Express

...

Unlike last time, all newspapers have focused reports this time, and most of them are sports page headlines.

The content of these newspapers focuses on Chi Liang's performance, interspersed with malicious fouls, McLaren's questioning and even the evaluation of some basketball celebrities.

After this game, Chi Liang was able to average amazing data of 19.8 points, 11 assists, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 2 blocks per game.

In addition, Chi Liang participated in five games and achieved impressive record of 4 wins and 1 loss.

McMillan may not have expected that the New York Times raised his words to a certain level, turning the original possibility into a certainty. Although it was only a difference of two words, everyone could see the meaning.

As for the so-called basketball celebrities, most of them are retired basketball players, including Nuggets legend David Thompson, Big O's O's O's, and so on.

Of course, there are also active celebrities, including Reggie Miller. He highly praised Chi Liang's evaluation and believed that he could become a phenomenal player and that the future was promising.

As for the report from the United States Express, they focused on analyzing Chi Liang's performance in the fourth section.

In the NBA game, the more you can reflect the value of the star at the last moment. Generally speaking, the defense in the fourth quarter is very tough, and with a lot of physical loss, it is very difficult to score at this time. Only stars can easily score through their personal abilities.

After investigation by a reporter from the American Express, he was surprised to find that about half of Chi Liang's data originated from the fourth section, and there were very few mistakes during this period.

If you remove the fourth section, Chi Liang's data will be very ordinary.

In addition, the reporter of the American Express also recalled Chi Liang's playing time and believed that Chi Liang was likely to keep his strength in the first three quarters and specifically stayed for the fourth quarter to make efforts.

After analysis, he felt that Chi Liang had the strength of a star, otherwise he would not have been able to perform at a phenomenal level in the fourth quarter with strict defense.

As for McLaren's account, Chi Liang pursed his mouth and did not feel uneasy. McLaren took it entirely because he kicked the other party, mainly to avenge the other party's revenge.

After reading the newspaper, Chi Liang felt much more relaxed. His original fatigue seemed to be wiped out and he began to train.

His training content is mainly based on back-to-body singles. McDest explained the skills of back-to-body singles in detail, and the rest depends on Chi Liang to understand and practice.

During training, Chi Liang summoned a strong trainer to act as the defensive party.

Bang~bang~

Chi Liang was carrying the basketball and began to contact the trainer on his back. He did not exert force behind, but carefully felt the opponent's center of gravity.

The next moment, Chi Liang's left foot was supporting the foot, and his right foot made a test step, as if he was about to break through the right side. The trainer hurriedly moved his footsteps to block Chi Liang's breakthrough direction.

It was also at this time that Chi Liang rotated happily, adjusting his non-supporting foot to the weak side of the trainer, turning from the back basket to the face frame, and opening a certain space with the trainer.

This move "fix the central axis foot with a 180-degree back basket turning side basket" is called "Sikma Rotation". This is also a common step and a skill for many players with excellent shooting to settle down.

In layman's terms, this is a turning technique for a player to switch from a basket to a face frame. This action can prevent the defender from being close to the body and effectively occupy the offensive space, thus obtaining the opportunity to jump shot at an open space.

As for why it is called Sikma, it mainly comes from Jack Sikma, who is also one of the excellent centers in NBA history. Because he used this move to perfection and promoted it to become a weapon that is known to everyone in the world and the whole nation is a soldier, he obtained the right to name it, which is the same as the tentative step also called "Van der Vajci step".

Before the trainer could come forward, Chi Liang took the opportunity to jump up and shot a basketball.

Swish~

"It's still not enough defensive pressure! Trainers are not professional basketball players after all. They have rich theoretical knowledge, but their defensive pressure is far less than that of Mike Dyce!"

Chi Liang shook his head secretly, but in the end he had no choice but to continue to train his back skills boringly.

At this time, two people came to the training hall, one of whom was George, the general manager of the Nuggets, and the other was a tall middle-aged man.

They did not disturb Chi Liang, but just stood aside quietly, watching Chi Liang's training, and occasionally whispered a few words, as if commenting on Chi Liang's performance.
