I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 151 Qimei is coming to the bowl soon, brother will teach you to play center
Time passed day by day, and the media were full of expectations for the Clippers in the new season, especially the Chinese fans who had nowhere to rest.

Zhou Qi drove high and low in the Rockets, and now he doesn't even have a chance to play, so he can only hang out in the Development League. Therefore, countless domestic fans turned their guns and began to fall into the arms of the Clippers.

In the Asian Games in Jakarta, the Chinese men's basketball team won the championship strongly. After returning to the top of Asia, the recognition of Li Yang by Chinese fans soared.

Domestic fans have praised the decisive behavior of the Summer Basketball Association to recruit Li Yang. Li Yang's performance in the Asian Games has turned the tide and made many Chinese fans full of hope for his future.

In the new season, CCTV plans to broadcast 40 Clippers games live, and the Rockets only have 15 games to see Li Yang's status in the hearts of Chinese fans.

The Clippers fans couldn't help teasing the Rockets, look, you guys are cheap, look at our Li Yang, and look at your Zhou Qi, they are also players from China, how come the gap is so big! ! !
Li Yang himself feels sorry for Zhou Qi. After all, he is a good buddy and a teammate of the national team. Zhou Qi's ability to withstand pressure is average. In the new season, Zhou Qi doesn't even have a chance to play. Li Yang knows that this is Zhou Qi's last time in the NBA.

As a good brother, Li Yang didn't forget Zhou Qi who was in dire straits, and even said on the phone that he would visit him when he was free, and ask him to go out for a while.

The two are still relatively close, and it is very convenient to meet each other. Zhou Qi doesn't like to talk, and there are few friends in the team. Li Yang can tell that Zhou Qi is playing with a burden of thought. If he doesn't enlighten him in time, he is likely to sink.

Li Yang wanted to try to see if he could change history and help Zhou Qi change his style of play so that he could stay in the NBA and continue playing.

……

On September 9, there was still a whole week before the start of the new NBA season preseason, Li Yang took the time to invite Zhou Qi to have dinner at Yao Restaurant in Houston's Chinatown.

Zhou Qi really doesn't have many friends in the Rockets, and only Tucker can barely be regarded as his good friend, so it can be seen that he basically has no sense of presence in the team.

Ability aside, Li Yang now talks and laughs with his teammates every day, and the teammates are all around him. Zhou Qi usually doesn’t talk much with his teammates. How can his teammates pass the ball to him when he is on the field?

And Zhou Qi is too humble. In the eyes of Americans, being too humble is stupid and lack of self-confidence.Dayao has lost his temper in the NBA, although humility and stupidity can never be equated.

But if you don't even have self-confidence, how can your teammates give you the ball with confidence?

In Yao restaurant, the taste of Chinese food has not changed, but the traditional Chinese food eating habits have been reborn here. There is no Chinese food scene where everyone eats a dish, and it is replaced by the Western food sharing system. Chinese and Western food is the biggest feature here.

After a short wait, a plate of delicious BJ roast duck, coconut prawns and coconut scallops was served one after another. The two of them began to feast on the strong taste of their hometown.

Zhou Qi is older than himself, so Li Yang still calls him Brother Zhou. You must know that Li Yang almost accidentally called him sister Qi just now. The inertia of thinking can't be changed if you want to.

"Brother, am I not suitable for the NBA?" Zhou Qi was not in the mood to eat. His agent advised him to train more, try to play good numbers in the limited playing time, and strive for a stable playing time for him.

Li Yang knew that Zhou Qi was doubting himself at this point in time, and the fans expected too much of him.

And after he entered the NBA for a year, he also discovered some of his weaknesses, which were magnified infinitely. The more he doubted himself, the more Zhou Qi devoted himself to training. In the end, his muscles did develop a little bit, but the direction of training was wrong.

The reason why Zhou Qi was finally given up by the Rockets is also very simple, that is, he is too bad on the offensive end, which is almost a common problem of all Chinese players on the NBA court.

Except for Yao Ming, after these high-scoring scorers in China came to the NBA, under the high-intensity confrontation of the NBA, their scoring ability is really frighteningly low. This is one of the main reasons why the Rockets finally gave up on Zhou Qi.

Furthermore, Zhou Qi's economic team is simply poisonous, and he has always expected him to produce awesome statistics like Yao Ming. However, there are not many NBAs with Yao Ming's low-level killer.

This is also the reason why Li Yang had to be cautious about his agents at the time. Many big-name agents in the NBA only recognize money but not people, so they may not be able to bring much help to Li Yang.

Li Yang sighed, after all he is also Zhou Qi's good buddy, he suggested to Zhou Qi: "Brother Lian, I suggest you practice more three-pointers, your speed is quite fast.

In addition, reduce your strong attack. Your completion rate at the basket was lower than that of many guards last season. You need to improve your completion rate at the basket.

Don't be shy when grabbing rebounds. A rebound is a rebound. Don't give it up to your teammates.

In addition, you continue to practice defense and do a good job of your own defense. As long as you can practice defense well, you will definitely be able to get a good contract in the NBA.

Also, can't you shoot threes?Practice your most accurate points. In order to adapt to the changes in the small ball era, the current center only needs to grab rebounds, protect the frame, and have a stable three-pointer. "

Zhou Qi hesitated, "Are you asking me to practice defense hard and shoot more three-pointers?"

Isn't this the same as doing blue-collar and outside 3D?

Li Yang nodded, Zhou Qi's physical fitness is indeed difficult to find the same among yellow races, but in the NBA where there are so many strong people, his physical talent is not outstanding.

Now Zhou Qi's biggest dilemma in the Rockets
The reason is that the coach thinks he can't swing, neither can swing to the 5th position, the confrontation is not enough, nor can he swing to the 3rd position, the speed is a bit worse than the 3rd position, resulting in a single position, so he has no playing time.

Zhou Qi's training this year is also based on the space-shaped fourth position, and now it's a bit upside down.

Zhou Qi can't practice the dreamy footwork like Dazhi, so his finishing rate at the basket is very miserable for a big man.

Zhou Qi's strength is very lacking. The reason for such a low completion rate at the basket is his poor physical confrontation ability.

In the CBA, Zhou Qi's talented style of play was a bug, but in the NBA, under high-intensity confrontation, Zhou Qi was beaten into a Husky.

The most suitable style of play for Zhou Qi is to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, continue to strengthen his defense, and obediently be a pie-eating man and space-based 3D.

The purpose of letting him practice dribbling is to make his movements less rigid, and he doesn’t know what to do when he gets the ball. Even if you get the ball and do a crotch dribble on the spot, it will make fans and coaches feel more comfortable than looking left and right.

Li Yang put forward his own suggestion to Zhou Qi. As for whether Zhou Qi accepts it or not, that is his own business. He has done everything he should do. As for the result, he can only listen to the destiny.

In other words, is it really good for a 19-year-old kid to enlighten an older player?
"We're pretty close, and I'll come to you when I'm free." Zhou Qi wasn't polite, he knew that Li Yang would definitely be able to play in the NBA, and he might even be higher than Dayao in the future.

So he decided to ask Li Yang often for advice. Li Yang was much younger than him, but he was able to withstand tremendous pressure, which Zhou Qi was very convinced.

"No problem!" Li Yang nodded. The Clippers will play three games against the Rockets in the new season, so there is no need to worry about the opportunity to meet. The Chinese derby between Li Yang and Zhou Qi this season is also the subject of media hype.
