Chapter 58: Shoot him in the way Ade is most familiar with
Before his teammates came to the gym, Wang Zelin practiced alone and took a break.
First, go to the physical training hall for a warm-up session: several sets of ligament stretches, shoulder presses, and prone leg bends.
When I was almost warmed up, I went to the court for mid-range shooting training.
Originally, his mid-range shooting ability was only 74, which he inherited from Jermaine O'Neal. Although it is good, it is still far behind Raheem's 83. According to the ability rating given by the system, a mid-range shooting ability of 83 is not bad.
He is already a first-rate pitcher.
After binge-watching movies and crazy special training, I finally raised my mid-range shot to 78, which is still 2 points away from the 80 mark. I have to hurry up and strive to become a mid-range shot before the official start of the regular season.
Handsome boy.
Looking at the current NBA insiders, except for Aldridge on the same team, who can reach the first-class level in mid-range shooting, there will never be more than ten, and if they can reach the 90-level marksman level, I am afraid that the entire league
It will not exceed the number of five fingers.
"Dada" will definitely count as one!
The "driver" must be too!
"Ad" should also be counted as one!
Then he couldn't remember anyone else.
After practicing for a few more hours, the time came to 7:30, and the door to the training ground was finally pushed open.
"Wow man, how long have you been practicing here alone?"
As the star player of the Trail Blazers, Aldridge returned to the team as early as the end of August.
Last season, due to damn injuries, the team's good trend of advancing to the playoffs for three consecutive years was interrupted. Aldridge was naturally very unhappy.
This season, the team's general manager Orsi talked about the team's selection of two promising newcomers this year. He has already seen Lillard, who plays outside, not only has strong fighting ability, but also has a desire to win.
Bursting.
The most important thing is that the label and attitude on his body reminded him of his former partner Roy.
Now, Aldridge finally meets Wang Zelin, whom he has longed for.
That’s right, I just miss you!
Because he really doesn't want to be pushed to the center position anymore.
"Hello, Lamarcus."
Looking back, he saw the team boss. Wang Zelin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first teammate he saw in the Trail Blazers was Aldridge.
Unlike Lillard, who is also a rookie, Aldridge has officially reached the peak of his career at this time and is a ruthless player who can be ranked in the top five in the NBA's fourth position.
Seeing such an All-Star with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars approaching him, Wang Zelin couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Hello, king, or king!"
"You can call me whatever you want. I only came a few hours earlier than you. It was a warm-up session. And I came half a month later than you. If I don't train hard, I'm afraid my body will get rusty."
Already."
Hearing Wang Zelin's words, Aldridge showed an appreciative smile.
Although it is still unclear how strong his new teammate is, at least it can be seen from his training attitude and desire for the game: this is a good teammate!
“Dude, welcome to Portland!”
"Thank you for your welcome and I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"
Seeing that Aldridge had expressed his goodwill, Wang Zelin also showed enough courtesy.
Through later generations' reviews, Wang Zelin knew that Aldridge was one of the rare good men in the league. Basically, players, coaches or fans who had contact with him all gave him extremely high praise.
This is a humble and polite gentleman!
But after this brief contact, he could clearly feel that the boss was easy to get along with. It seemed that the Trail Blazers' locker room should be pretty good.
I don’t know what happened between Aldridge and Lillard later that caused the former to leave San Antonio.
Maybe it's because of the boss status, maybe it's because of money, maybe it's because of the championship or something.
It's rare to have a master next to him, and he is also an inside player. Naturally, Wang Zelin will not let go of the opportunity to expand his horizons.
Wang Zelin suddenly looked at Ad with a smile: "Lamarkus!"
"What's up?"
Aldridge, who was about to change into training clothes, turned his head curiously.
"It's nothing, I just thought that since it's still early, how about a confrontation between the two of us. I also hope to experience the strength of top NBA players firsthand."
"Hmm~~ No problem, then you wait while I warm up first."
Aldridge, who looks elegant and easy-going on the surface, but is actually very sensitive in his heart and cares about other people's opinions. When he first heard Wang Zelin's words, he thought that the young man in front of him wanted to challenge his boss status, and his brows immediately furrowed.
However, Aldridge, who was born in a single-parent family, his mother warned him since he was a child: glasses are the windows to the soul and they cannot lie.
So he subconsciously looked at Wang Zelin's eyes and found that there was no hint of provocation in the latter's eyes, but instead a strong desire for knowledge and a desire to become stronger. After Aldridge put down the grudge he just mentioned.
"OK."
More than ten minutes later, Aldridge came back with a flushed face and a slight gasp.
"Man, you attack first!"
It’s not that Aldridge doesn’t know that in the Olympics, Wang Zelin was able to play a very strong offense when facing defensive heroes like Marc Gasol, but the boss’s pride did not allow him to take the first shot.
"Okay, how about a one-on-one match with five balls?"
"Man, are you serious?"
Since he has watched Wang Zelin play, he knows that the latter's advantage lies in relying on his strong strength to move around the basket. But now Wang Zelin actually uses his weaknesses and avoids his strengths, choosing a one-on-one duel with an attack time of ten seconds and no more than three dribbles.
.
"Of course, when I wasn't this tall, I was a guard. In our place, I was known as Jordan's homebody!"
Although Adelaide's defense is considered good among interior players, he is completely confident of shaving the opponent's head.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isn’t it just a back-up shot all the way to the basket? That doesn’t require having hands.
Besides, it would not be very friendly to give the team leader such a blow right away, so from the beginning Wang Zelin approached this game with a knowledgeable attitude.
At the same time, he wants to see how his current shooting ability will work against defenders above the NBA level.
Garryton Jordan?
There is such a place.
Seeing that Wang Zelin insisted on doing this, Aldridge didn't insist anymore. After arriving near the three-point line, he smiled and hit the ball to Wang Zelin.
The moment he caught the ball, Wang Zelin's whole demeanor changed, and the playful smile before was gone.
Bend your feet slightly, lower your center of gravity, buckle your knees inward, and protect the ball on the right side of your body with both hands.
What a standard triple threat move!
Aldridge's pupils shrank, and the laziness in his heart was wiped away.
Is it a vote or a surprise?
Since you don't move, I'll test the water first.
As the defender, Aldridge moved his body first and made a fake move of leaning forward.
Hey, that's what I've been waiting for.
What Aldridge didn't expect was that a scene happened. Wang Zelin in front of him actually used his most familiar shooting posture and directly chose to pull up.
Is this guy so brave?
Although Aldridge himself also has a certain three-point ability, what he likes and is best at is mid-range shooting.
He didn't expect Wang Zelin, a big center, to dare to take a shot from outside the three-point line. His previous focus was on preventing breakthroughs, and he didn't react for a while.
This kind of confidence is there!
"Whoosh!"
Sure enough, without turning his head, Aldridge heard the clear sound of net wiping coming from behind.
