"Straight-arm shooting? That's not possible! You can teach an apprentice without a master. It's OK to teach other things, but this is definitely not possible. You're a bastard." Rasheed Wallace shook his head repeatedly.
"Hey! Boy, why don't you give me face as an old man? The purpose of my doing this is to let your Pistons defend the championship." Bill Laimbeer said.
Milicic knew that straight-arm shooting was a unique skill based on his past life memories. In the past 20 years, only Chris Webber, Rasheed Wallace and later Aldridge could apply this technique in actual combat.
Come in. But if Rasheed teaches him, Milicic really has no extravagant expectations, because in the NBA, no matter what the relationship is in private, two people are competitors in the same team, and they are contenders in different teams.
There will always be confrontation between championship opponents, and Larry Brown did not clearly define Milicic as a center, which means that power forward is also his rotation position. Rashid is already 30 years old, and there is no guarantee that one day he will
He replaced it.
Rasheed Wallace said seriously to Milicic: "Man, I am not that stingy, but I have been practicing straight-arm shooting since I was 15 years old. The reason why it is called a stunt is because
Not everyone can master it easily."
"Rashid, I know that every technical move requires long-term practice if you want to use it freely in the game, and I may not be suitable for this kind of technical things." Milicic is afraid of Rasheed Wallace.
I was embarrassed, so I told him this.
"Man, I'm not trying to deal with you. In fact, this technique is really not suitable for so many people. Juwan Howard once used this technique to dominate the NCAA, but after arriving in the NBA, he found that many people were able to restrain his technique.
Technically, I had to return to the previous ordinary posture for shooting, which wasted a lot of training time. The key point of straight-arm shooting is to "exchange space for time" and use the height of the release point to make up for the problem of too slow release. For tall people,
It is good for people with a long wingspan, which you agree with. However, there is one thing. It is difficult to rely on the strength of the arm for this shooting technique. You have to rely solely on the strength of the fingers and wrist to throw the ball. For ordinary players,
It's just a straight-arm shot under the basket, but I can make a straight-arm shot from outside the three-point line. The strength of my fingers and wrists has been specially trained." Rasheed Wallace explained the key points of this technique.
Tell it eloquently.
Milicic followed the posture that Rasheed Wallace gave him and tried to shoot with his wrist. It was really difficult. Normal shooting requires three 90-degree bends, and then the body drives the big arm, and the big arm drives the forearm.
, the forearm drives the fingers and wrist to exert force, while straight-arm shooting concentrates the force from several parts on the wrist, which requires great strength of the wrist. Not to mention being able to control the accuracy, not even the strength.
Very sufficient.
Bill Laimbeer said unconvinced: "Darko is also a basketball player, and his physical fitness is absolutely top in the NBA. I don't believe this guy can't learn your straight-arm shooting. Rashid, do you dare to fight with me?
bet?"
"What to bet on?"
"Bet this little puff can learn the straight-arm shot before this year's playoffs."
"I don't believe it! What's the bet?"
"Bet on championship rings. If you win, I will give you two. If I win, give me the one you just got." Bill Laimbeer said viciously. It seems that this old guy has spent a lot of money.
But why does Milicic feel that the whole thing seems to have nothing to do with him at all, and he has become a part of their bet. These pure men in Detroit really don't care at all!
Bill Laimbeer tied Milicic's wrist with a special rubber band, and tied the other end to his feet. It was difficult to straighten the arm upwards, and it was difficult to complete simple movements. And Bill Laimbeer
But Milicic was asked to shoot in this state, starting from the basket, taking a step back when the shot was made, and reaching the three-point line. However, it took Milicic half an hour to make the first shot, and he took a step back.
Before leaving the three-second zone, Milicic felt that Mr. Bill Laimbeer had a dark mentality. He must have seen the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise he would not be able to think of so many damaging tricks.
"Boy, you have to know that this kind of training is the most effective for you. Strong wrist strength is not just for you to learn Rashid's straight-arm shooting. Only people with strong wrist strength can score 2+1 or even 3
+1, when your arm is seriously disturbed, your wrist can still maintain the most basic shooting or layup movements. This is the key to scoring 2+1. The NBA is different from European leagues. The competition here is very strong. You
If you are not a star player, it is very likely that some fouls were committed on you and the referee did not call it. Are you going to complain like Rashid and be kicked out? He is an All-Star, so that is nothing, and you are a newcomer.
You have to cherish every opportunity you get to play, understand?" Bill Laimbeer patiently explained to Milicic.
"But I still don't understand why you are so nice to me, even if you bet your championship ring with Rashid." To be honest, Milicic really thinks that Bill Laimbeer, a villain, is a bit too nice and not like him at all.
His character.
"Damn! What a direct question... Actually the reason is very simple. Joe Dumas is also your general manager, my former younger brother. He got rid of me to help you train. Of course, he will be paid.
"Although my family is very rich, it won't hurt me if I have more money." Only then did Bill Laimbeer tell the truth.
"Then McDyess..." Milicic couldn't help but think about it.
"Of course that was arranged by us. In fact, your physical fitness is top-notch in the league. You may not be as powerful as Rodman, but you are definitely the best among white people. And your flexibility and coordination are particularly good. It is simply
Perfect. On a technical level, your offense is already well-known in Europe, and your defense has been honed by Larry for a season. It can be said that you are not inferior to anyone at your level, but why are you
Did you know it didn’t work?”
"Because of what?"
"Because you don't have the desire to win, and the desire to win is very important. At that time, our bad boy team was far inferior to Magic Johnson's Lakers and Jordan's Bulls in terms of talent. The reason why we won was entirely because of our fighting spirit.
This is exactly what you lack. What I want to hone is your will and endurance so that you can fight like a man."
"It turns out that Joe Dumars, Larry Brown, Bill Laimbeer, Rasheed Wallace, McDyess... all of them want me to become an excellent basketball player, so I
Is there any reason to let them down?" Milicic couldn't help but be moved.
"Old man! Then stop talking nonsense and practice quickly!"
James, Anthony, Wade...you are all waiting in Athens for me to defeat you! Milicic's heart burned.
Bill Laimbeer on the side was also on fire, thinking in his mind: "Dumas said that after I trained Milicic, he took me to the red light district of Rotterdam to play. Seeing this silly boy like this, he was moved by my righteousness.
Well, it seems that the trip to Rotterdam is going to be great! Little brother, little brother, you will be able to taste wild game soon."
Over there, the naive Milicic is still practicing hard.
