Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 77 77. Alliance No.1 (Please subscribe and recommend)
After playing the Lone Ranger back to back, the Thunder got another two days of rest.

In order to actively prepare for the Rookie Challenge, Richard has trained very seriously, and can no longer relax completely like the last time off.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Richard had already packed up and started running.

Richard has already realized the benefits of strong physical fitness, and now he can guarantee about 20 points in almost every game, which is the good foundation that physical fitness has laid for himself.

Now Richard is not just running around the arena in a boring way. He has gradually become familiar with the surrounding environment. Sometimes he will run in the park where the air is better, and sometimes he will take a detour to Bellevue for a walk.

Didn't expect a chance encounter or anything!

While running, Richard also checked his panel again.

Strength: 78/85.

Speed: 80/92.

Skill: 80/96.

Bounce: 76/88.

Two-point shooting accuracy: 84/94.

Three-point shooting accuracy: 82/90.

Average: 81/95.

Medals: Insight, Away Hounds, Four A.M. Sun (Silver), Fortitude (Bronze).

The evaluation has reached 81, and Richard has reached the main force of a team in terms of strength, which is also reflected in the score.

But after getting to 80, the growth of data becomes extremely slow, and the effect of training cannot be seen in a short period of time, and some progress can be made in high-intensity competitions.

The biggest change is the medal. "The sun at four o'clock in the morning" has become a silver grade. What is the difference between it and the bronze grade?

The sun (silver) at four o'clock in the morning.Kobe once asked a reporter in an interview, have you seen the sun at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles?This sentence became the endorsement of Kobe's hard training.This medal is issued as a reward for active and hard training. Obtaining this medal can get a training bonus of 25%/50%/100% (depending on the medal level). Interrupting training will result in the loss of training experience.

That is to say, the training can now have half the bonus effect, which can reduce the training time by 1/3, which is still very good.

But what about experience lapse?

I understand that if you don’t train your body to rust, there will be problems with your movements, but how do you define interrupted training?One day, two days or one week?
If you look at how you feel about your last vacation, the three days must have fallen, let’s guess three days first.

I can't be lazy in the future, training is a matter of perseverance.

Running, Richard unknowingly ran to Bellevue, it was too early, there was no one on the road, only the elongated shadow of the street lamp on the deserted road, and himself.

Standing on the basketball court, Richard looked around.

Not knowing why, Richard raised his head and looked at the surrounding buildings. One of them was lit, and it seemed that there were also early-rising workers. After staring at the brightly lit windows for a while, Richard smiled, bowed his head and walked away, continuing to run.

What Richard didn't know was that there was another person in the bright window looking at him on the basketball court at this moment.

On January 1, the Thunder came to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers led by LeBron James away.

Before the game, James also came to the Thunder's half.

Hey, there are too many players who have "dropped in" recently.

Westbrook and James are very familiar. The two have been facing each other since 12 years. Apart from the fact that there is no matchup, the two are considered old rivals.

Moreover, both of them have some similarities in breaking through and connecting teams, and the relationship is relatively good.

"Russell!" James greeted from a distance, and made a bunch of meeting gestures with Westbrook.

People are dazzled, how on earth do they remember so many different ways of greeting different people?

"Is that Richard from your team?" James asked someone else in the first sentence after greeting.

Westbrook rolled his eyes and was speechless.

"You came to see Richard?"

"Correct!"

Unable to continue to make fun of himself, Westbrook called Richard over and got together.

James offered to reach out.

The man in front of him was tall and thick, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard around his chin, well-defined muscles, and a strong body like a tank.

Today's league No.1 wants to shake hands with himself.

Richard also stretched out his hand, full of excitement.

"It's great. You young people grow up one by one and show your talents, making the league always full of vitality and vigor." James smiled when he saw Richard.

This kind of smile of the elders watching the younger generations become talents is very embarrassing.

Although the age difference is indeed ten years.

"LeBron, the league is still relying on you as its face, and you can only be represented in the league." Richard also looked at James with a slight smile.

James is not his idol, although his excellence is certainly unparalleled, at this time Richard behaved much more normally in front of James, and he did not have the nervousness and bewilderment he felt when he saw a superstar for the first time.

"There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. I am already old, and sooner or later the alliance depends on you." Everyone knows that James' self-management is very strict. The [-]-year-old man has not had any serious injuries in his career, and his body is still very strong. There are few in the league who can compare with him.

Thirty-year-old man can still average 27+8+8 per game, how old is this!
Westbrook doesn't even count.

This kind of pleasantries is really not nutritious.

"I am very optimistic about the US team in this year's Rookie Challenge. With Richard outside and Towns inside, they are invincible."

"Anything can happen on the court, there is no absolute victory or defeat." Richard chuckled and didn't say much.

"Welcome to the NBA!" James stretched out his hand again.

Richard froze for a moment, thought carefully, understood what James meant, and was full of respect for the No.1 in the league.

Facing a potential rookie, James, who stands at the highest level in the league, has no airs. Instead, he takes the initiative to show his favor and is full of sincerity.The same sentence, spoken from a mouth with sincere eyes, is really very warm.

At this time, Richard felt that with the efforts of generations, the entire alliance has become more and more equal, more and more warm, and there is more love and mutual care between people.

Of course, if he didn't have that strength, even if he loved him, he wouldn't show it.

"Thank you! LeBron is indeed a role model for me to learn from!" Richard also replied very sincerely.

"Russell, we're going to play against each other again at the All-Stars." After talking to Richard, James turned to Westbrook.

"How many three-pointers are you going to shoot?" In the All-Star Game, the stars are all about entertainment. They play as good as they are, and play as they are fun. Those who are good at dunking should pull out the outside and shoot three-pointers.

Westbrook's implication is that James is not good at three-pointers.

"Ha, maybe not as many shots as you." James' irony is also just right.

Westbrook also laughed, and the two hugged and bumped their chests again.

The game between the two teams was not very gunpowder. The Cavaliers had the advantage of the Big Three, but the Thunder also worked hard.

Kyrie Irving took the lead, firing inside and outside at the same time, scoring two and three points.

Both Westbrook and Irving are fast players, but Irving's ball handling ability is more delicate, and the two have completely different styles.

Westbrook is known for his violent aesthetics, and Irving is known for his gorgeous style of play.

Both of them are at their peak, and in the end they can only blow each other up.

James is even more of a player who makes breakthroughs and points the ball. James's tank breakthroughs are simply unstoppable. Richard tried to defend and was almost knocked into the air. That kind of strength is probably twice as strong as Westbrook.

If you want to block the breakthrough, you can't do it alone, but when there are many people, James' good vision and super overall view can accurately find the teammates ambushing outside, pass the ball, and the three-pointer is open.

This is similar to Westbrook's style of play.

It's just that Westbrook's speed is faster and his passing vision is slightly narrower.

With the efforts of Irving and James, the Thunder can still support it, and Richard can also score very efficiently, barely catching up.

But the Cavaliers also have Kevin Love, an inside player with strong three-point ability.

When Kevin Love joined the scoring ranks, the Thunder couldn't catch up. Oladipo's state is still a little ups and downs, and the stability is not enough.

The Thunder were chasing points all the way, but the Cavaliers had too many stable scoring points and couldn't catch up.

In the end, the Thunder lost to the Cavaliers 100:107.

Irving scored a double-double with 29 points and 10 assists. It is more difficult for Irving, a point guard who pursues gorgeous skills, to score double-doubles in assists. Today, Irving can get a double-double, which shows that great efforts have been made in team organization, and it is normal for the Cavaliers to win.

James also scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists without breaking a sweat, basic operations.

Westbrook scored a triple-double again, with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, and his scoring efficiency was not high.

Richard only scored 14 points on 6 of 16 shots, the lowest score in the last 10 games.

For a period of time in the middle, not only the opposing players strictly defended, but even Irving would choose the opportunity to double-team, playing harder.

Under such strict precautions, Richard can still achieve this result, which can only be said to be a pass.

After the game, James once again took the initiative to hug Westbrook and Richard goodbye, and Richard also took the initiative to go to Owen to say hello. If he can communicate with this champion who dared to challenge Kobe when he first entered the league, he should be able to learn a lot of dribbling skills.

Owen saw Richard's outstretched hand, and glanced at Richard coldly, "However, I thought there would be an opponent worth challenging."

After speaking, he left directly.

Richard was stunned again, why did he always provoke some strange people?

No, it's definitely not that Owen is strange.

It's weird!
The two met for the first time, they were against each other for the first time, and they didn't even match up yet. Why did they feel like there was a big conflict.
