In fact, Ben Wallace was also quite impressed by Perkins.
Although his brain is a bit stupid, he has a strong body and is suitable for being a "sandbag" for Woody. Ah, no, he is suitable for training with Woody.
After getting the missed opportunity, Perkins cherished it and was full of energy.
During the joint practice in the afternoon, Woody was severely suppressed by him.
There is indeed a big gap between a "rookie" who has only practiced for a day and a half and a "star high school student" like this.
Perkins was also very happy in his heart. From time to time he glanced at Ben Wallace and saw him touching his chin and nodding slightly with a thoughtful expression on his face. He was even more delighted: My position in Ben's heart now should have exceeded this. Are you a Chinese who knows how to be clever?
One afternoon of training, Perkins had only two words to express his feelings for Woody:
Rookie~
Without two and a half years of training, it would be impossible to be his opponent!
Woody was not discouraged.
It's true that Perkins asked Ben Wallace to rub him on the ground yesterday, but in high school, he was one of the top 100 players in the country. If Woody can rub Perkins easily, then he is not a genius. It has become a fantasy novel.
After practicing against Perkins for about an hour, Ben Wallace first gave Perkins a thumbs up and then asked him to practice other events.
After receiving Ben Wallace's approval, Perkins laughed like a cat after smelling catnip and walked away.
Then Ben Wallace looked at Woody, with a bit more appreciation on his face: "Man, you have memorized all the key points of the basket confrontation that I taught you yesterday and today, and you used them very well... …”
This is not simple.
"But you were still suppressed!"
"Your problem is not in your technical movements, it's just that your body was suppressed by him. Man, I think, compared to your skills at the basket, you have to learn to use your body first!"
Woody's physical dynamic and static talents are not bad, otherwise it would be impossible for him to stop Ben Wallace from jumping to grab rebounds with all his strength. Although he was unprepared and caught Ben Wallace off guard, but Ben Wallace is the top opponent in the NBA, which shows that Woody's physical condition is still very good.
It's just that from Ben Wallace's observation, Woody still can't use his body well.
"Don't worry, man, I've thought of a solution!"
Early the next morning, Ben Wallace dragged a sandbag to Woody. After asking the trainer to hang it up, he said to Woody: "Man, this thing will be yours from now on! And... Jack!”
As he shouted, a black man with a well-proportioned figure but clearly visible muscle lines walked out of the trainers. He should be the "Jack" in Ben Wallace's mouth.
Ben Wallace continued: "Boxing can better coordinate your body and let you know how to exert force! Once you punch out, you will be able to fully utilize your body!"
Woody didn't expect that basketball is a comprehensive sport!
So in the morning, Woody followed Jack and beat the sandbag for a long time.
While he was beating, Jack was explaining the key points to him and correcting his movements.
In the past, Woody preferred rugby and boxing, but he only had an enthusiast level understanding of these two sports. But now, under the guidance of a more professional trainer, he found that some of the power movements he had previously understood were wrong. .
After just two weeks of training, Woody could see the progress in his physical attributes from the system panel.
Especially in terms of coordination, it has increased from 65 to 70 points.
The coordination of the body has improved, and Woody can use his body more fully.
Compared with Woody, Perkins' advantages are height and weight, with a height of 2.06 meters and a tonnage of 100kg. However, in terms of athletic ability, he is far behind Woody.
Except that I can barely keep up with my moving steps.
In terms of explosive power and flexibility, Perkins is completely incomparable to Woody.
As Woody's physical coordination improved, he gradually took advantage of these two advantages.
In addition, he has a deeper understanding of the confrontation under the basket. During this period, when Woody and Perkins competed under the basket, they gradually went from being completely at a disadvantage to being evenly matched.
The progress was so rapid that it shocked Perkins and gave him a strong sense of crisis.
Training is harder.
Ben Wallace saw all this and recognized Perkins even more.
In fact, Perkins has made progress these days, but his rate of progress is too slow compared to Woody's growth.
Sometimes hard work is really worthless in the face of talent.
Perkins has been exposed to this cruel truth these days.
On the 20th day of the training camp, Perkins and Woody were training under the basket. They were already losing more and winning less. Woody's countermeasures and increasingly coordinated use of his body meant that he could only be led by the nose.
.
On this day, Perkins only won 1 out of 5 sets of confrontations. This was his worst loss day.
After the last set of confrontations, Perkins' head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, hanging straight down and unable to be lifted up.
At this moment, he recalled his evaluation of Woody when he first trained with him:
Rookie...
He also believed that Woody would never be his opponent without practicing for two and a half years.
I feel so ridiculous!
Ben Wallace noticed Perkins' frustration and deliberately pulled Perkins aside after the training. This was the first time in such a long training camp that Ben Wallace and Perkins met after training.
"Heart-to-heart": "Compared to Woody, I think you are more like me. We are the same kind of people!"
"We don't have that much talent, but we are always on the road."
"Don't be depressed, man, keep persevering, you can also stand on the top of the mountain, just like me now!"
…
This time it was Ben Wallace's turn to warm Perkins up with three words.
There is no doubt that these words spoken by Ben Wallace, as an inspirational representative, are motivating to Perkins.
At least it cheered him up again.
Ben Wallace also breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he just wanted to find a partner for Woody, but it almost ruined the self-confidence of a "star high school student". This was something he never expected. Just like he never expected that in three weeks, Woody
The progress has been so great!
Woody's level of genius once again refreshed his initial evaluation of Woody.
"Ding, the mission progress has changed, please check it yourself, host!"
Has there been another change?
This is not the first time Woody has heard similar prompts. Every time the progress bar increases, the system will prompt him in time.
The progress bar had reached 85% before, and it should be over 90% today.
Come to think of it, his performance today in breaking down Perkins' mentality scared Ben Wallace.
Don't say he was scared, Woody himself was scared.
This Rodman template is really awesome...
He practiced hard enough. In addition to boxing in the morning, Ben Wallace also added some items to him during this time. In the afternoon, there were several hours of confrontation training. The total training volume for a day was about 8 hours.
From the initial accumulation of lactic acid to now being completely adapted to it, Woody has worked hard.
But without such a good talent, no matter how hard he practiced, he would not be able to grow from a beginner to defeating the "star high school student" Perkins in the basket in three weeks...
"Dude..."
Ben Wallace's shout made Woody look towards him. Ben Wallace smiled happily and then gave him a thumbs up.
