As soon as Oden arrived on the court, he used three dunks to vent his emotions.
It's been a long time since he jumped so "unbridledly"!
At this time, the door to the arena was opened, and several Rockets players walked in wearing training uniforms.
"Oh my god, isn't this Greg? Did you come to training so early today?"
The speaker is our little steel cannon - Lori.
It was only half past seven local time at this time, and it would be half an hour before the Rockets would gather for daily training.
Moreover, this gathering time is already very early among NBA teams (Mark Jackson has always been strict in his military management).
"And, you're back from injury?!"
Only then did Lowry react, and his exclamation scared the teammates behind him.
Roy was originally chatting with Curry. As soon as he heard what Lowry said, he immediately accelerated through the crowd and walked towards the court.
"Greg...are you really okay?!"
Roy looked at Oden up and down and asked excitedly.
Auden smiled slightly and did not respond with words, but kicked hard with his feet.
The next moment, he lifted vertically into the air as if his feet were on springs...
"bang!"
Another powerful and heavy two-handed attack on the basket.
After dunking, Oden felt that all the strength in his body had not been exhausted, so he struggled to pull the basket.
In an instant, the entire basket began to shake violently.
"Take it easy, take it easy..."
Roy spoke quickly, and Auden landed obediently.
“The manager used Chinese medicine to cure me~”
Auden smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a straight line, and the lines on his forehead seemed to have faded a lot.
Other Rockets players who had just arrived at the arena also came forward to communicate with Oden.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Isn't this a good practice?"
The speaker was the always unruly birdman——Chris Anderson.
He had no ill will toward Oden, but his friendly way was different from others.
Others either congratulated Oden on getting rid of the injury, or expressed their condolences about his previous injury.
But Anderson saw that Oden was eager to try and wanted to use a game to test whether he had completely recovered.
"Chris, I've just recovered from my injury, so I can't increase my intensity all at once."
The one who spoke was the team's big brother--Shaun Battier.
When Anderson heard this, he smiled and said nothing, but turned his attention to Oden.
"You have to practice!"
Auden replied with excitement on his face.
"this..."
Shane was dumbfounded and didn't know how to persuade him.
"How about we let the two of them play a few balls? Just use it as a warm-up before training."
Roy also saw Oden's fighting spirit and said.
"Let's play one-on-one, just hit three goals."
A low but magnetic voice came from the second floor.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Shen Fei's figure.
"Boss!"
"Hello, manager!"
...
A group of people greet each other in various ways.
Shen Fei smiled and waved in response.
After Oden and Anderson heard what their boss said, they naturally had no objections and immediately started "bullfighting".
"Come on, the wounded have just recovered. You go first. Don't say I bully you."
Anderson threw the ball to Oden and said generously.
"OK."
Auden was an honest man and agreed because he felt that what the other party said made sense.
Oden attacks first!
After simply washing the ball, he turned his back directly and started playing from behind from the three-point line.
"Come on, young man, let me see how strong you are."
Anderson stood down and prepared to defend.
In a one-on-one game, there is no such thing as an offensive foul.
So if it's a back-up, it's a head-to-head battle between the two players on offense and defense!
After Oden heard this, he thought to himself: "Chris wants to know my power, so I have to show it to my full strength!"
As a result, his center of gravity sank, his strength rose from the ground, and he concentrated all his strength on his shoulders, and then...
"Bang~"
A muffled sound...oh no, this volume can no longer be considered a muffled sound, but a loud noise.
The next moment, Anderson flew backwards under the surprised eyes of all the players.
"???"
"???"
All the Rockets players off the court looked confused.
Among them, people like Roy, who knew Oden well, had thought about the impact of this collision.
But no one could have imagined that Birdman could fly out like this!
"boom..."
Anderson fell to the ground, his eyes full of shock.
[Did I... get hit by a truck?]
He thought secretly in his heart.
Then, Anderson suddenly noticed that the light in front of him suddenly dimmed.
Looking up, he saw that Oden had taken off his feet and jumped high...
"bang!"
An O'Neal-style dunk with both hands caused the entire basket to shake violently again.
"It's okay, senior."
After Oden dunked, he immediately extended his right hand to Anderson, who was still sitting on the ground.
Birdman took his hand and prepared to stand up. The pain in his chest made him frown.
"Are you okay, senior?"
Auden asked again with concern.
"fine!"
Anderson responded angrily.
[Can't you tell if something is wrong?]
[Do I have to admit in public that I can’t stand being hit by young people???]
Birdman kept complaining in his heart, but because of his face, he didn't have an attack.
"Change your hair!"
Anderson said.
"OK."
Oden immediately turned around to pick up the ball, then ran to the three-point line to wash the ball.
After dunking five or six times, he gradually woke up from his excitement.
Oden knew that he was truly healthy again.
Whether it's the knees or ankles...all the injured areas have been completely healed.
This made Oden couldn't help but suspect that the medicated bath Shen Fei made for him used magic medicine!
............
Anderson took the ball outside the three-point line, assumed a triple threat posture, and observed Oden's defense.
He didn't know much about this young man except that he was the number one pick in 2008, so he could only analyze it based on his appearance on the spot.
After a brief analysis, Birdman relied on his "excellent" basketball IQ and came to only one conclusion - he could not challenge this seven-foot man with brute force!
Immediately, Anderson came to another extended conclusion - Greg is so much taller than me, so he must be slower than me...
As soon as he thought about this, Anderson suddenly stepped out with his right foot, made a feint to the right, then made a cross step, changed lanes and broke through to the left.
"Bang~"
This time, it was Anderson who hit Oden's chest.
But the difference is that the latter stood motionless.
Birdman, on the other hand, failed to stabilize his center of gravity and almost lost control of the ball.
In a panic, Anderson could only collect the ball temporarily to avoid making a mistake.
But the next moment, Oden had already stepped forward and "shrouded" the birdman.
"It's so fast..."
Lowry sighed off the court.
As soon as this statement came out, many players nodded in agreement.
Oden and Anderson, one is a standard big center, and the other is swinging at the 4th or 5th position (and leaning towards the 4th position).
Logically speaking, Anderson should have the speed advantage.
Although Birdman is now older and his physical fitness is not what it used to be, he is well maintained and at least his movement speed is above the league average.
However, the fact is before our eyes, Oden's lateral movement speed is faster than Anderson!
While he was talking, Birdman was already guarded and had no chance to take action.
In order to protect the basketball, he was even forced to turn his back to the basket.
In the end, Anderson could only use a back shot to force the shot.
Of course, the probability of scoring a goal with this kind of shot that doesn't even look at the frame is very slim.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and flew directly out of the baseline.
"I can't fight, I won't fight!"
After Anderson finished his shot, he walked off the court without looking back and surrendered.
Auden smiled helplessly.
[It seemed like I was taking it too seriously just now... Senior, don’t you think it’s embarrassing?]
He thought in his heart.
At this moment, Shen Fei, who was standing on the second floor overlooking the stadium, showed a satisfied smile.
Auden's talent is truly terrifying!
"I'm already looking forward to his first NBA game after recovering from injury..."
The Asian young man murmured to himself.
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
