The Road to Godhood of a Basketball Kid

Chapter 20 Learning Artest's Offense and Defense
Zhang Yang and Qin Feng chatted happily. The exhaustion of the day still didn't make him sleepy, until Qin Feng sent a message saying: "You need to rest early, there will be training tomorrow. This will be the end of today."

Zhang Yang replied immediately.I am very happy chatting with you, I am not sleepy at all when I am happy, but within a minute after finishing this sentence, Zhang Yang has already collapsed on the bed, and then snored evenly.

Once again, I came to the Castle of Realizing Dreams. After Zhang Yang warmed up and practiced a few sets of three-pointers, the housekeeper came to Zhang Yang's side, "Dear Yang, from today onwards, after your training is over, the system will conduct special training for you. The purpose of the special training is to make you grow into a real basketball superstar as soon as possible."

Zhang Yang only took a half-hour rest after training.He was taken by the butler to a closed door.

"Today we will train one-on-one offensive and defensive drills. The opponent is World Charity Peace at its peak, which is what we call Ron Artest. You have half the ability of James at his peak, but ability is just ability. You must not only digest him, but also work hard to improve in future special training to reach the level of easy-to-handle, to achieve the so-called real muscle memory. What you achieved in Dream Castle will still be in your muscle memory the next day. Therefore, if you want to realize your superstar dream as soon as possible, please train hard."

After the butler finished these words in one breath, he pushed open the door: "Go, go and pursue your dream."

The butler's words directly made Zhang Yang's blood boil, yes, just having half the strength of the five hall of famers at their peak is not enough.That's just talent, he still needs to work hard.Only by adding extra efforts in addition to talents can we grow into a superstar faster.

The gate was pushed open, and a large sports tube came into view.However, apart from him in the stadium, there is only one Ron Artest wearing the Pacers No.Waiting for Zhang Yang's challenge.

Artest's physical fitness is top notch, according to Hupu jr's description: women are made of water, men are made of mud, and Artest is made of cement.This sentence is enough to prove Artest's strength.

Throughout the 03-04 season, it is said that Artest directly restricted those who played against him to average only 8.3 points per game.And he often plays against the opponent's All-Star player, the opponent's super scorer.

Just such a defensive expert who has outstanding defensive ability and has averaged more than two steals per game in his entire career, is directly facing Zhang Yang.Fortunately, Zhang Yang got 50.00% of James' power at his peak, otherwise, Artest would only need a savage collision, and Zhang Yang probably would have to return to the factory for repairs.It is said that this guy directly broke two ribs of Michael Jordan during the Bulls period.Michael Jordan's abnormal physical fitness is still unbearable.

"Hey, rookie, are you ready to be abused by me?" As an npc, Artest obviously didn't have the consciousness to become a computer.Even if he becomes an npc, he still doesn't forget to spout trash talk to incite hatred.It is said that reasonable trash talking is an essential skill for every best defensive team.

Zhang Yang came to the basket and took a fighting stance.

Although he has inherited 50.00% of James' ability at his peak, his current weight is still not as high as James'.And his height, he is still in the developing stage, he is completely shorter than Artest.

Therefore, in terms of one-on-one defensive ability alone, Zhang Yang is at a disadvantage at this time.

Ron Artest held the ball and attacked from the front.

Ron Artest doesn't need to play back, because he has a super strong physical fitness. In the face-up 1V1, obviously, no one in the entire NBA can completely limit him.

"Boy, I'm going to break through from your left." Just after Artest finished speaking, one arm squeezed Zhang Yang, and the other hand dribbled the ball. Just like this, like a wild boar in a rage, he savagely charged towards the penalty area, while Zhang Yang was pushing him with the greatest strength.Hit him hard.

Physical talent has already added hundreds of percentage points to Zhang Yang, but Artest at his peak is really like a heavy tank filled with fuel.Always, tireless collision, collision again.

Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and pushed hard. If the stadium was full of spectators, the clacking sound of two people's muscles colliding would definitely be heard in the front row.

They are like two bulls wrestling with each other.The offensive side always has the advantage.Artest ruthlessly went to the basket, and then directly dunked points with both hands.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA." After Artest finished speaking, he handed the ball to Zhang Yang and changed the opponent's defense.

Inherited James' physical fitness, the rest, everything depends on himself.Zhang Yang actually has a hundred ways to teach Artest to be a man, such as Curry's three-pointer, Shi Buddha's low position like a dog's back, and Chamberlain's jump shot. However, since the system specifies to practice the same skills of offense and defense, it is the collision of muscles and sticks. It is easy to come to a free NPC training partner, why not use it?

Zhang Yang is completely unafraid of Artest in physical confrontation, even though he is still in the immature James stage.

He doesn't lack muscle and strength, but what he lacks is weight and height. These can only be stabilized and grown slowly during acquired development.

Zhang Yang also did the same action as Artest, "Old bird, I'm attacking from your left too." After speaking, Zhang Yang also blocked Artest with one arm, and dribbled through with the other hand. He was repeating the same action as Artest, constantly moving forward in the collision of muscles.

However, just as he was about to rush into the penalty area, Artest suddenly made a step-back turn, which made Zhang Yang, who was in a continuous offensive state, almost dribble himself out of the field with the ball. At the moment when his body lost his balance, Artest raised his hand and made a steal...

"You are the worst rookie I have ever defended, no one, do it again, boy." This time it will be Artest's offense.

The two of them just kept fighting one-on-one, one round after another.

Zhang Yang's muscle memory is constantly deepening.

After a short break, Artest's defense once again ushered in.

Just like that, one after another, until Zhang Yang was out of breath.Artest was also out of breath.

Zhang Yang suddenly understood a truth. Everyone in the NBA did not become famous suddenly. They needed not only physical talent, but also acquired hard work. For example, now, he must practice non-stop until he can calmly deal with Artest's offense and defense.
