Chapter 7 Sabonis
After the heads-up, Ma Long intuitively showed his strength and temper.

Although everyone knows that Ma Long is very talented, but affected by the report, they all feel that it is only about height.

Now the preconceived impression has been broken, and everyone knows that Ma Long is not easy to mess with.

Veteran players no longer dare to treat and tease him as a rookie.

If it was last year, it would be difficult to say when Glider was the boss.

This year, the new boss came up, and the lineup has changed a lot. If Clifford does not take the lead against Malone, these old players will not make themselves unhappy.

Clifford attaches great importance to his performance in leading the team, so how could he target Malone who can obviously strengthen the team.

So in the next training day, Malone's daily life returned to its usual calm.

It's just that there are more training items like pick and roll.

Carlesimo arranged for him quite a lot of mid-range shooting and cutting training after the start of the pick-and-roll, shooting training after mid-range positions, and a lot of tactical running.

Dudley's despair made Carlesimo further aware of Malone's projection power.

In order to integrate this large anti-aircraft gun into the pioneer's chariot as soon as possible, more tactical positions must be arranged.

Malone is also very satisfied with this arrangement.

His characteristics are very clear to him.

Although he has the ball and three points, he is a center.

In the 90s, it was impossible to really hit the three-point line.

In particular, power forward Clifford's ability to protect backcourt rebounds is mediocre.

The paint area needs Malone more.

The mid-range pick-and-roll tactics are very suitable.

The main point guard Rhodes is also very good at playing pick-and-rolls.

This tactical arrangement can increase Malone's stats very well. Of course, he will not refuse. He practiced very hard. He would watch the Jazz's videotape and pick-and-roll playbook every night before going to bed.

After training for a few more days, the most important rookie returned to the team.

Avidas Sabonis, will be 12 years old in December, a big center with a height of 31cm and a weight of 221kg (?).

When he was young, he played like a combination of Dameng and O'Neal.

He can hide under the basket with his back and clever changes of footsteps, and then make opponents stare with a beautiful backhook.

Can move to the top of the arc to set a screen, and then shoot a three-pointer.

It can catch rebounds from the backcourt like a football quarterback and accurately pass them to teammates who are fast-breaking in the frontcourt. It can also show you superb high-post support and high-low cut passes.

You can also use a step to test after doing a feint, then cut to the basket, complete the attack with a tomahawk dunk, and smash the rebound along the way.

——From the three-point line, shooting, grabbing and dunking, still pressing Admiral Robinson, the videotape of this classic scene will be played in the gaps of the tactics class these days.

In 1986, the 1th place in the first round was selected by the Trail Blazers. Due to special factors, he was delayed for nine years before entering the NBA.

When I came to Portland some time ago, I found out that my knee was in a bad condition, and I still had many minor problems to recuperate.

This incident was disclosed by the media. The reporters who hated the Lithuanian mocked him for having a 131-year-old knee, being able to apply for a parking plate for the disabled, and saying that the Blazers will play in the new season and so on.

But this does not affect Malone's expectations for this new player.

Having read the script, he knows that Sabonis, who is in his 30s, is still very strong.

Out of speed?Playing completely against the floor?

Sabonis can still maximize all his advantages.

High-quality fixed-point screens and effective support, sharp passes comparable to guards, precise mid-range, superb backs, swings and hooks, and the defensive end can also serve as the gate of the inside.

Instead of speed and bounce, there is awareness and experience.

When Sabonis is on the court, he can provide the team with top offense and defense, and he is still the rare player who can make his inside partner better.

The playing time is limited by the body and cannot be played for too long.

Such a teammate should not be too perfect!

However, Malone did not take the initiative to talk to Sabonis.

The Lithuanians look very indifferent, exuding an aura of no one allowed in, all they have on their faces is 'I'm here to make money, don't bother me with other things'

Anyway, during training, Sabonis will train tactics with him and is very professional.

Whether the relationship is good or not, Malone doesn't care.

"That's why you took number 11?"

But he didn't expect that Sabonis took the initiative to find him.

After finishing the 500th pick-and-roll, Ma Long caught the ball and made a mid-range shot. He wiped off his sweat and said, "Yes."

Sabonis looked at the young man who was a little taller than him in a daze.

like
"Mr. Sabonis?"

Malone looked at Sabonis in a daze.

Have an opinion because of the number?
Not like ah.

Sabonis came back to his senses: "The foundation is good, but the pick-and-roll is not played like this."

Ma Long did not expect such a development.

He said unexpectedly: "Mr. Sabonis, are you willing to teach me?"

"I'm not here to teach you, why am I wasting my saliva?"

Sabonis said, "Still physically strong?"

"Have!"

Sabonis is willing to teach, and of course Malone is willing to learn.

What he practiced before was to get rid of the chasing man better after the pick-and-roll, find better scoring opportunities, and then catch and shoot.

Don't shoot without a particularly good opportunity.

But Sabonis corrected him.

"With your height, you can shoot directly when you have the opportunity, and the hit rate will not be low."

Sabonis said: "After being blocked, most centers don't have the flexibility to return to you. At this time, you will face a defender or a wing striker who fills in."

"You are so tall, there is at least a 30cm height difference between you and the opponent, and you are facing a two-meter striker with a 1.7-meter short man."

"Shoot decisively after the pick-and-roll, it is impossible to interfere with you, it is more effective than your futile movement."

"Also, don't wait for the point guard to arrange opportunities for you. You have to find opportunities to catch and shoot by yourself. In this regard, you need to move around the pile and accelerate short distances according to the positions of other people on the court."

"Your first step into the paint is abnormally fast, and that's your advantage. Don't just think about shooting."

"Only if you show more offensive methods, can it make it more difficult for defenders to judge and increase the success rate of offense."

Sabonis seemed to have a bad temper, but unexpectedly taught him very carefully.

Ma Long felt what it means to have an old family like a treasure.

He couldn't figure out these small details by watching the video tapes by himself.

With the guidance of this boss, Ma Long's training progress in pick-and-rolls has skyrocketed.

Time also felt a lot too fast.

During this period, he also participated in many joint training sessions within the team.

Malone's performance is getting better and better.

Dudley was blown up every time.

During an open training match held on a media day, some acquaintances from the Huaguo media may have come.

Ma Long's state is beyond the charts, and he even led the substitute team to the main team!

Although this is because the main team frequently drills tactics, resulting in the incomplete display of strength.

However, according to the media's own data calculations, Malone's 40 points, 30 rebounds and 20 blocks in the 8-minute open training match are very exaggerated.

However, apart from cheering up some Malone fans in China, this news did not cause any waves in North America.

It doesn't matter to Malone.

Once the position of the main force is determined, this is enough.

In a blink of an eye, it was October 10th.

The preseason has officially begun!
The Trail Blazers' first opponent is the Warriors who won this year's No. [-] pick Joe Smith!
　It was the first time I wrote a basketball article, and I felt the difficulty of balancing rhythm and character design.

　　I will try my best to set up some people while fast-paced and not procrastinating.
