Chapter 22

Malone officially began to strengthen low-post ability training.

The Blazers management also pulled a team dedicated to one-on-one training to serve Malone, which is no longer the previous one-to-many.

If it weren't for the awkward relationship between the management and the famous Blazers Bill Wharton, they still wanted to bring the red giant to practice.

Although there is no 'red giant', there is Sabonis, the real red giant, and the configuration can be said to be full.

The treatment has been greatly upgraded, and the champion is nothing more than that!
This is the handiwork of big boss Paul Allen.

It is said that after the Bulls, the big boss read the battle report.

Seeing Ma Long's 46 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, I took a deep breath and made a contribution to reducing emissions across the United States.

The big boss felt that this son was extremely talented and terrifying, so he increased his investment.

I really like investing.

Malone hasn't proven it yet, he is willing to spend money on Malone.

Now that it has been proven to be a super high-quality stock, of course we must increase our efforts.

Paul Allen is a man of the scene.

In the past, he was a partner of Bill Gates and one of Microsoft's talkers!

Although he didn't wear a helmet because of fishing, bah, he left Microsoft because of illness, but he still lives very chicly, and his favorite thing is investing.

Be generous!
In short, Ma Long learned quite well.

Sabonis is also very good at teaching.

It's not because Ma Long learned how to be polite quickly, but because the team gives money
"You want to learn the turnaround jump shot in the low post. If it's just for the 'jump shot' that's enough for now."

Sabonis' small class starts: "But if it's just a jump shot, then the defender is too predictable."

"Remember what I told you before? If you only know one offensive route, the defensive difficulty is 10."

"You can play two kinds. The difficulty of defense is not 20, but 100, because the defender needs to 'think' which one you will choose."

"The defender's 'thinking' itself is your opportunity to attack."

"Why did the defender stay in place like a fool when Jordan made a turnaround jump shot? It's because Jordan has too many offenses to choose from, and he has too many details. The defender doesn't know which one to choose. The center of gravity is continuously cheated. When Jordan makes a jump shot, he can only stay on the ground stupidly and look up."

"Of course, with your kid's height and wingspan, even if he can only make a turnaround jump shot in the low post, the difficulty of defense is not much lower."

"This unique physical advantage can allow you to easily get very good data in the preseason or even the regular season."

"But when it comes to the playoffs, when you're severely underpowered, that's not enough."

"When it comes to the most critical moment of the playoffs, when there are only a few minutes or even a few seconds left, the one who can get to the final commanding heights is often the one who puts the damn basketball into the basket at the most critical moment, using the most incredible, unreasonable or most difficult way for ordinary people to achieve."

"To put it simply, if you want to have key ball ability, height alone is not enough."

Malone understood what Sabonis said very well.

Since he can make himself better, he will not refuse.

Ma Long said, "How should I do it?"

"Before learning to 'turn over', you must first learn to 'turn around' in the low position, so that you can organically combine your low position skills. In fact, your basic skills in low position skills are very good, but there are some details that are missing, but sometimes in high-intensity games, those details are what are lacking."

Sabonis: "I'll show you what to do."

He directed a sparring partner to defend behind with a cushion.

Sabonis back-up position: "First of all, you have to block the position well, use your butt well, and press the defender behind you, so that you have enough body position to catch the pass and start the low-back attack. So the butt is very important, and yours is very good. Hey, Rhodes, pass the ball to me."

"OK."

Watching the excitement, Rhodes hit the ground and passed the ball.

"And then there's the offense."

Sabonis received the ball with both hands, and explained while doing the action: "You need to feint, that is, fake action, to lower the vigilance of the defender."

"This point can be seen a lot in Olajuwon's highlights. He is one of the best centers who combine post-up skills."

"O'Neal's low-post skills are also very good. He has monster-level strength and explosiveness, but he doesn't completely rely on his own strength."

"This little chubby guy does a good job of relying on his buttocks. His low-post steps are exquisite, his front-turn hook and small hook are very delicate, and there are small throws on the edge of the penalty area. The turn after the baseline is no worse than Olajuwon. It's just that the combination and details are a little worse, but his body makes up for it."

"In short, the purpose of your feint is to tilt the opponent's center of gravity to one side."

"If you lean to the left, then you can use the other foot to go around the opponent's hip."

"Take a big step, grab the ball, put your hands up and protect the ball with your elbows."

Sabonis waved his big Lithuanian elbows, scaring the defensive training partner back three steps: "Remember, you must use your elbows."

"In the past few preseason games, I have noticed that you hardly use your elbows when attacking. You rely on your height to protect the ball. It proves that your ball is very good and it is also a good habit, but it is not good enough."

"Why don't you add elbows? You know how to use elbows in defense, but you don't know how to attack?"

"You have a big frame, and your elbows are very hard. Big elbows are no worse weapons than big butts!"

"Take the bull as an example. With the height difference between you and Rodman, you can hit his head with an elbow."

"He suffered a concussion once, will the tiger dare to defend you like that in the future? Doesn't this create space?"

"The paint area is so crowded that the referee can't see it at all, and even if they see it, they don't care."

"Basketball is a sport of height. You have the biggest weapon in this sport. You know how to use your height when you shoot, but why don't you know how to use it when you play in the low post?"

"This height advantage should be used!"

"I'll teach you how to use it. It's the best way to support your elbows."

Listen to Sabonis's little elbow trick.

Ma Long touched the old skin on his elbow, and came up with a tactical back.

Good guy.

He is straight up good guy.

Elbows also have a height advantage, which is okay.

But don't say it, Sabonis is really right.

Rodman can elbow him when defending.

Then why can't he hold his elbows when he attacks?
Malone found what he had to learn.

He thought happily in his heart: "In the future, if someone spouts trash talk, just three sentences, let him taste the taste of Huaguo's big elbow!"

Three sentences, let Ma Long give you eighteen cubits!

After teaching elbow rest, Sabonis also started teaching footwork.

"The most important thing to turn around is the footsteps."

"You are in the low post, turn around and don't turn your footsteps outward. This action is wrong, because it will increase the distance from the basket and increase the difficulty of shooting."

"The steps should be bigger, the toes should be as far as possible towards the basket, turn directly to the middle position, get closer to the basket, and then use the elbow to get the defender behind, the defender will have no way to guard you, and can only try to block shots from your head and shoulders."

"But with your size and wingspan, I can't think of anyone who can do that."

"Physical advantage is one of the most important details in post-ups."

"To sum it up, it's a dribble, a low turn, an elbow screen to create an open shot, and then finish facing the basket, hook or jump shot or dunk."

"What if the defender doesn't hesitate, but just raises his hands to interfere? Then after a dribble, step around the arm sideways for a layup."

"If you don't eat swaying, and don't eat arm-wrapping fake moves? If you have a height advantage, it's like Olajuwon. After taking a side step to the middle, make a back turn and press the defender behind you. Use your wide shoulder width to separate the defender and create space, and then use your long scary arm and outside hand to layup."

"It looks like turning around twice. It's also the so-called big dream pace. It tests the core and flexibility, but I think you should be able to learn it."

"You should learn more about this trick, because 99% of the time you are facing defenders who are shorter than you, it is very practical."

"By the way, when you turn over and shoot a jumper, remember to push your knees up."

Sabonis made a golden rooster independent movement: "This is not for kicking the crotch. Lifting the feet can facilitate the upper body to lean back slightly, better maintain balance and shot stability, and also create space, making it more difficult to be disturbed."

"Of course, this kick also has the threat of a crotch kick, which is similar to an elbow. The purpose is to deter your defender."

"Normal games are fine, but in the more brutal playoffs, you need this small detail to improve your shooting percentage.

Malone nodded seriously.

Horse riding and archery, I understand.

Get kicked in the crotch?
Getting kicked in the crotch is your own relationship, I'm just trying to keep the balance.

Since we want to integrate into the 90s, of course the style of play has to be up to the 90s.

It's very reasonable!

Oh, this trick is called 'Three sentences, let Malone kick you in the crotch'

So he began to seriously learn how to elbow and kick the crotch, bah, learning how to create space.

Time passed quickly while studying, and it was the fourth game of the preseason in a blink of an eye.

At noon, Malone arrived in Los Angeles with the team, and tomorrow they will face the Clippers, the big fish in the West.

After this away game, the rest will be the home game. You don't need to fly around anymore, and you can concentrate on training for a period of time.

There is one thing to say, flying all over the United States, and playing games with a group of professional players every other day or two, the intensity is really high.

It is no wonder that it is difficult for NBA players to practice new weapons to strengthen themselves during the season.

Fortunately, Ma Long has an immunity badge, so he can have both training and competition.

That's it, the game he played couldn't consume his vigorous energy at all.

Thinking of the good memories in Los Angeles in the past, and the fact that too much training would be boring, Ma Long asked for leave in the afternoon and went to the bank, planning to withdraw some money and have fun later.

When withdrawing money, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Ma Long?"

Ma Long looked back and lowered his head in doubt.

Looking at the surprised blonde girl in front of him, he asked in surprise, "Theron?"
