basketball hall of fame

On August 2008, 8, Li Kang and Rich Paul set foot on the flight back to the United States. An Shili came to Kundu International Airport to see them off.

……

Li Kang: "Lily, why don't you go to America with me today?"

An Shili: "No, I haven't finished my work at my alma mater. Tomorrow, September 9st, school starts. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. The funding situation of the foundation also needs to be followed up. Anyway, I promise you After the work here is over, I will go to the United States to find you."

Li Kang: "Okay, if you have anything to do, you can find my agent in Huaxia, and I will ask Rich to tell him to cooperate with your work."

An Shili: "Xiaokang, I will listen to you and promise to complete the task."

Li Kang: "Stop talking nonsense, our flight time is up, remember to miss me!"

An Shili cried and watched Li Kang and his party enter the security channel. Li Kang waved goodbye to her!

……

The flight landed safely, and then Li Kang returned to his residence in Los Angeles.

In the evening, I called my parents and my girlfriend to report that I was safe.

……

Li Kang then called Kobe again, and the two met to prepare for the new season together.

Li Kang: "Boss, I want to learn Olajuwon's low-level skills. Are you familiar with him?"

Kobe: "I can take you to learn from him. It just so happens that Olajuwon opened a dream footwork training class. Let's learn his low-post footsteps together."

Li Kang was filled with emotion again. He did not expect that when he traveled back, Kobe in this life went to learn low-post singles skills from Dameng a year in advance.

……

Michael Jordan once stated in public that if he could be any player in history at will, he would like to become Olajuwon.

He's an unbelievable player, dominant and really, really talented.

Olajuwon is 2.13 meters tall, but he does not admit that he is a center forward, and has been practicing his skills as a guard, so we can see that the 7-footer changes direction and breaks through the mid-range shot, and even makes an emergency stop and retreats like a basketball player.

Of course, what makes Jordan greedy is his dreamy footsteps.

Dameng has a low center of gravity, can get the ball in the low post on the inside, and play offensive moves from any angle.

The turnaround jumper in the middle and the baseline fadeaway jumper are both proficient.

The most troublesome thing for opponents is the unstoppable fantasy footsteps.

Dameng's turning and shaking are large and coherent, and the movement of the pivot foot is also unpredictable, making it difficult for the opponent to make accurate judgments, so every false move can be converted into a real move.

O'Neal once said that he has 50 ways to beat Olajuwon, but Dameng has 5000 ways to blow himself away.

Dream's footwork is superb, and there are no player position restrictions, so many outside players also come to learn footwork from Dream.

……

The next morning, Kobe and Li Kang came to the Dameng training camp, and Dameng demonstrated low-post skills and footwork to them.

Dameng also unreservedly taught dreamy footsteps, lowered the center of gravity, changed the pivot foot and shook the body, and every detail was vividly displayed.

After Kobe and Li Kang completed the imitation, Dameng would point out the details, and then the two immediately adjusted and practiced again. The whole training process was very smooth.

Then Kobe and Li Kang singled out together, attacking and defending each other, while Olajuwon watched from the sidelines.

Kobe took the lead in the attack, went to the low post to hold the ball with his back, used excellent footwork, shook off the interference of Li Kang's long arm, turned over and made a jumper with a fadeaway, and made a steady hit. 2:0, Kobe scored the goal.

The possession of the ball changed, and Li Kang marched near the free throw line. He also held the ball with his back to play singles, lowered his center of gravity, swayed his body, and made a forward and backward jump shot.

……

Olajuwon saw that the two are at the dominant level on both offensive and defensive ends, and have such an excellent learning ability. I believe that their future achievements will enter the top ten in history, and their future is limitless!

On the second ball, Kobe rushed to the bottom line, used excellent footwork, pulled out the space, made an emergency stop and made a mid-range jumper shot, and the ball went into the net hollow, 4:2, Kobe led by 2 points.

Looking back, Li Kang played back singles with the ball in the low post, swayed his body, turned over and shot a jumper, and also made a steady hit. 4:4, Li Kang tied the score.

Kobe learned the essence of Dameng's dream footwork technique, and was able to integrate his fadeaway jumper stunt with dream footsteps, apply what he learned, and improve it.

And Li Kang doesn't have Kobe's outstanding footwork, but Li Kang has combined his physical talent and height advantage, his single-back technique has also improved qualitatively, and he is not at a disadvantage in attacking Kobe.

The one-on-one battle between the two was simply explosive, neither could defend the other, and the score remained deadlocked, 18:18.

Li Kang held the ball at the top of the arc, Kobe stepped forward to lead the defense, accelerated in a change of direction, swayed left and right, made an emergency stop and pulled back, stepped back and made a three-point shot, facing Kobe's top defense, the ball hit the net, 18:21, Li Kang Lore game.

Li Kang's three-point long-range shooting ability is indeed better than Kobe's. The winner or loser of this heads-up is also on the three-pointer. Olajuwon believes that the three-pointer will be the future development trend of basketball.

……

Kobe and Li Kang hugged each other tightly and smiled at each other!

And Olajuwon said that he has nothing to teach, both of them will be better than blue, there will be new people from generation to generation, and a new generation will beat the old!

……

Then the two left Dameng's training camp

Li Kang: "Boss, I have a hunch that three-pointers will become the key to the development of basketball in the future. We need to increase the amount of training on three-pointers, and then increase the proportion of three-pointers in the game."

Kobe: "Lee, I feel the same way, what a hero who sees the same thing!"

The two will meet tomorrow to start preparing for the new season, officially start training, and contact Gasol to rush back to Los Angeles to participate in training as soon as possible. The road to defending the title is a long way to go!

……

Back at the mansion in Los Angeles at night, Li Kang talked with his girlfriend again, there was always something to talk about, sweet and sweet, never tired of it!

Li Kang: "Lily, school has started these two days. Are you working hard?"

An Shili: "The work is going well. The freshmen in high school are still in military training. I don't need to prepare lessons yet. I've been lazy for the past two days. I miss you a little."

Li Kang: "I miss you too. Today I participated in Olajuwon's training camp to learn low-post footwork skills. I will start training tomorrow and prepare for the new season."

An Shili: "Well-off, pay attention to rest more, don't be too tired, health is the most important thing."

Li Kang: "Lily, I will, you take care of yourself too, go to rest early!"

……

On the second day, Kobe and Li Kang came to the Lakers training ground early, put into training together, and prepared for the new season!

Three-pointers, mid-range shots, layups, dunks, fadeaways, post-ups, breakthroughs, and offensive kaleidoscopes.

Through the experience of the Olympics, Li Kang's offense has improved to a higher level, which is also the result of the national team as the first offensive choice.
