Chapter 299 The terrifying bounce, the big ben that amazes the audience!
At the same time, many Rockets players were already present at the training ground on the first floor (the treatment ended later than usual today).
After everyone heard Da Ben's excited voice, they couldn't help but look up.
"Hey, did something happy happen to Ben? This is the first time I've seen him so happy."
Auden asked curiously
"Didn't you hear? He said he has recovered. Don't you know what our boss's medical skills are like?"
Lori patted the Emperor's chest and replied with a smile.
Auden suddenly understood.
"Ben, now that you've recovered, why don't you come down and practice?"
Lori shouted toward the second floor.
Ben looked down, his eyes filled with fierceness.
Xiaogangpao quickly added: "You're not practicing with me, you're practicing with Greg. He told me a long time ago that he wanted to play against you."
Oden was startled and stretched out his hands to cover Lori's mouth.
"Okay, let's practice then."
Ben Wallace said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Shen Fei and said seriously: "Don't worry, boss, I will prove myself and work hard to help the Rockets become better."
Shen Fei nodded, and then said: "Go and see how the recovery goes."
Da Ben came to the stadium in a hurry and in a hurry.
Unfortunately, Mark Jackson had changed his clothes at this time and was about to start training.
Oden looked at Ben with some embarrassment: "Brother, why don't you wait until after training?"
However, Ben Wallace has just recovered his body functions, and the energy in his body cannot be released, so he is really "hungry and thirsty".
Let him start practicing from the basic lateral movement now...it is indeed a bit difficult.
When Mark Jackson saw everyone looking at each other, he called Curry to his side to understand the situation.
Not long after, the Rockets coach smiled slightly and announced: "Today we will adjust the order of the events and start with the group competition. Give everyone 15 minutes to do warm-up exercises first, and we will start training in a while."
Ben was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Mark Jackson.
The latter smiled and nodded.
After all, Mark Jackson was born as a player, and he understands the characteristics of athletes very well.
When a player is in hot form, the most important thing to do, whether it is a coach or a teammate, is to support him!
This is also the team culture that the Rockets have been emphasizing since this season.
For example, players like Tracy McGrady or Curry score several goals during the game.
Next, the rest of the Rockets will work hard to put the ball in their hands to help them continue their hot touch.
Now, Daben is eager to try, and Mark Jackson will naturally not let his "enthusiasm" be extinguished.
Soon, everyone completed the simple warm-up activities.
As usual, the players are divided into two teams: main team and substitute team.
Yao Ming had some ankle discomfort today, so he did not participate in training. At this time, he was sitting on the sidelines with Shen Fei and Mark Jackson.
Substitute team: Lowry, Roy, Danny Green, Tucker, Ben.
As the assistant coach throws the ball high, the game officially begins!
Oden, who is 2.13 meters tall, and Ben, who is 2.03 meters tall, took off at the same time.
The Rockets players present basically felt that the former had an absolute advantage.
However, Ben's feet seemed to be stepping on springs, and he suddenly reached the commanding heights and slapped the ball into his own half.
"Oh..."
Yao Ming on the sidelines exclaimed.
As soon as the expert takes action, he will know if there is any!
Just from this jump, Dayao could see that Ben Wallace was in very good condition.
This bounce, both in speed and height, is top notch!
Oden, with his height advantage, obviously underestimated his opponent and did not jump with all his strength.
"Didn't you say that your condition has completely recovered?"
"When Ben was young, he jumped too high, but this time he has not reached his limit."
Mark Jackson said jokingly.
Shen Fei nodded after hearing this.
The 29-year-old Ben may not be at the peak of his physical fitness, but at the peak of his body, technology, and consciousness.
You know, Ben back then often had to "lower his head to avoid the board" after completing his block!
With a height of 2.03 meters, he can play center. After blocking shots, he has to be careful not to hit the backboard...
From this description, we can see how terrifying Ben Wallace's bounce is!
............
His eyes returned to the field.
The substitute team took the lead in attacking, and Lowry passed the half court with the ball.
After reaching the top of the arc, he called Tucker to pick and roll.
The shoe king rushed over and set up a cover for Lowry.
Curry, who is still a little thin at the moment, is weak in squeezing through pick-and-rolls and is blocked by Tucker.
Lowry successfully passed the first line of defense and rushed into the penalty area.
However, there was a "beast" like Oden guarding the inside. The little steel cannon did not force it, but chose to make a jump shot...
"Duang!"
The ball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced out.
Oden turned slightly sideways to block the opponent behind him, then slightly bent his feet, preparing to collect the rebound.
However, when he rose into the air and stretched out his right hand to grab the board, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him...
The iconic afro shows the shadow's identity - Ben Wallace.
He jumped up high and actually took the backboard off Oden's head.
Auden was stunned!
He remembered clearly that he had clearly stuck his big book behind him just now.
Why did the opponent suddenly appear in front of me and seize the high ground first?
Auden was very puzzled!
At the same time, Dayao off the court sighed again:
"Ben's sense of rebounding is so sharp!"
"He realized that he might not be able to gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation with Greg, so he took a step back and rushed for the rebound from another direction."
"But taking that step back would make Ben take off later than Greg. But he made up for this with his terrifying bullet speed, arriving first and grabbing the rebound!"
Yao Ming spoke in great detail, and both Shen Fei and Mark Jackson couldn't help but nod.
"It seems that Daben has indeed returned to his peak condition."
"This ball fully demonstrated his rebounding sense, veteran adaptability, and superior bullet speed!"
Mark Jackson shook his head and said with slight admiration.
After all, this is a 36-year-old veteran!
Shen Fei was not too surprised.
Come on, this is the plan for the 2003-04 season!
That year, in addition to his dpoy-level defense, he also led the league in rebounds per game.
If the number of rebounds of 12.4 is not amazing, then the data of 4 offensive rebounds per game is enough to make people shout "monster"!
The young Oden can't beat such a rebounding monster, but it's acceptable.
After Ben took off the rebound, he did not attack on his own, but distributed the ball to his teammates on the outside.
Danny Green, who was lurking in the bottom corner, received the pass and hit a three-pointer.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
3:0, the substitute team takes the lead!
After Green made the shot, George, who was responsible for guarding him, quickly raised his hands to indicate that the ball was his problem.
George was really distracted just now...
He was shocked by the scene when Ben jumped high and took the rebound off Oden's head!
On the way to the frontcourt, George couldn't help but ran to Griffin and whispered: "Blake, do you jump higher, or does Ben jump higher?"
Griffin was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "I jump higher, and he bounces faster."
George nodded, this answer was quite pertinent.
As he spoke, Curry had already dribbled the ball through half the court.
In the last round, Lowry got rid of him through the pick-and-roll.
In this round, Curry did the same thing, passing Griffin's screen at the top of the arc and passing Lowry's defense.
However, Tucker is far inferior to Oden in height, so Curry chose to attack the inside.
Through an exquisite hesitation step, he successfully overpowered Tucker, and then with a flick of his wrist, he made a signature high throw.
Tucker struggled to take off, but the arc of Curry's throw was too high. He tried his best but failed to touch the basketball.
However, at this moment, Ben Wallace suddenly burst out again, instantly appeared behind Tucker, leaping high...
In just an instant, Ben's height far surpassed Tucker's.
"Snapped!"
He used a block that was almost like a volleyball smash and sent the ball flying directly!
The whole place was in an uproar.
Curry glanced blankly at Ben, silently shaking his braces a few times to ease the surprise in his heart.
Obviously, Ben's change was too sudden, and the difference between before and after was huge, which made it difficult for the Rockets generals to accept it for a while.
"Hey, Ben, how many games have you had to rest and are you back to your best form?"
Maddie couldn't help but ask.
"Boss has been helping me recover. The past two days have been a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change."
Ben Wallace answered seriously.
Of course, this wording was given to him by Shen Fei, and the purpose was to deceive others.
Maddie was stunned when he heard this.
Good guy, this treatment has made my brain better, and my cultural level has improved...
In the next game, the substitute team, led by Ben Wallace, built an extremely strong defensive system.
Lowry and Danny Green on the outside, Tucker and Ben on the inside are all defensive heroes.
The team's defensive weak link turned out to be Roy!
But Huang Mamba's defense is also above average.
To put it simply, the substitute team's defense has almost no weaknesses, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "impregnable"!
The starting team has the most offensive firepower in the league.
The two teams are like the sharpest spear facing the hardest shield. When they face off, sparks will fly!
The two teams took the lead alternately, and for a while there was no winner!
"The intensity... I feel like it's higher than any game I've played this year."
Yao Ming sighed.
The fight was intense on the court, but Mark Jackson was happy off the court.
He was completely immersed in the troubles of happiness.
Who would have thought that the Rockets, who couldn't make it to the playoffs last year, would now be able to put together two lineups that are good enough to compete for the championship!
Not to mention, there is an All-Star center sitting off the court!
Mark Jackson only feels that if he cannot win the championship this year, he will really have no face to face Shen Fei!
"Boss, you are too cruel!"
Mark Jackson gave a thumbs up and said with emotion.
Shen Fei smiled slightly: "Let them stop. If we keep fighting, we won't need to train for a while. We have to save some energy. Tomorrow's game against the Mavericks is very important."
