NBA Tyrant

The next day, after contacting Olajuwon, Howard sent a message to his agent, Pelinka, telling him to go to Houston to learn from Olajuwon, and then packed up and left the rented apartment.

On the plane, Howard closed his eyes and recalled the 04 deal, and he didn't know what Pelinka handled on Kobe's side, and there was no specific news when he watched the news, so if he asked directly, it is estimated that Pelinka would not tell himself, but according to the memory of later generations, in the end, the Lakers compromised and chose the younger Kobe Bryant and sent away the big shark O'Neal.

It wasn't until 09 that Kobe Bryant led the Lakers back to the championship with the addition of Gasol. And in 06, O'Neal of the Miami Heat cooperated with Wade and won the fourth championship of his career, and in winning the fourth championship, O'Neal was the leader, although the number of championships O'Neal was not as good as Kobe, but obviously O'Neal, who had the end of his prime, was extremely beneficial to the Heat team's impact on the championship.

If Kobe Bryant and O'Neal didn't have contradictions, built a lineup around the two of them and formulated appropriate tactics, the OK combination would definitely be able to win more championships, but unfortunately, one wants to be on the top and the other refuses to give way, and the ending can only be incompatible.

I don't know what head coach Johnny talked to the team management, according to the original historical trend, the Magic team finally reached a deal with the Rockets, with Maddy, Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lue, etc. in exchange for the Rockets' Francis, Old Cat Mobley, and Center Cato, on paper, the Magic team lost a little, but there was no way, Maddie just wanted to leave, and it couldn't be done without trading.

In terms of the results, the Magic got Francis and sent to the Knicks the next year, and Mobley, a two-way guard with good three-point ability, was sent to the Kings in the middle of the season, Cato went to the Pistons the next year, and the Rockets, although they entered the playoff-level team at once, did not go far, basically a round trip, and the best was only the second round of the playoffs, however, the Rockets of Yao Mai's combination created a 22-game winning streak in team history, and Maddy's 35.13 points were impressive.

In the first three years of the original Howard's Magic, it can only be said that he was constantly escalating, evolving from a rough man with top physical talent to a monster with a certain dominance under the basket and defensive iron gates.

In the first three years of the Magic, there was not much to the team, and it did not lead the Magic team far.

And now he has a stable scoring means on the offensive end, whether it is a strong inside play or a medium and long-distance shot, he can put pressure on the opponent, the defensive end has excellent single defense ability, and the sense of co-defense is also better, it can be said that compared to Howard who played in the Finals in 2010, he is now a mature and strengthened version of Howard, if he can directly match four defensive outside pitchers in the new season, will it be possible to directly impact the Finals?

I hope that the team management can listen to the head coach to build the roster, so that if he wins the championship in his rookie season, he will not be too good.

Thinking of the excitement, Howard felt that his blood was boiling, but if he still followed the original historical trend, if he wanted to improve the team's record and personal data, he could only get the position of the team boss and let the team and players play tactical cooperation around him, after all, the original Magic team had Francis, which was still the bottom team in the league, and in the 04-05 season, it only got a pitiful 36-46 record.

I also have to be prepared to compete with Francis for the boss of the team, Grant Hill is a good man, and he has no ambition to compete for the position of the boss of the team, so if Francis is really here at that time, if he wants to make a difference in the new season, he needs to defeat Francis and consolidate his position as the boss....

Soon, the plane landed in Houston, and Howard took a taxi directly to the training hall according to the training address given by Olajuwon.

"Yo, is this our top boy this year, welcome to the Big Dream Training Camp!" Olajuwon said, holding out his big hand.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Big Dream, I'm Dwight Howard, you're my idol! Can you take a photo with me and sign my name?"

After a simple high-five, Howard looked at the black and strong middle-aged man in front of him who was about the same height as himself, although he had retired, he could still faintly feel the domineering spirit exuded by Olajuwon, thinking that at the peak of his career, he was also the top person in the league.

"Haha, let's go, there is a chance to take a group photo, we will go in first, and the place where you live has been arranged for you." Olajuwon listened to Howard's words, smiled heroically, and led Howard in first.

Under the arrangement of the training camp staff, Howard put his luggage in his room and came to the training ground.

Olajuwon was already waiting, with a camera next to him, which was supposed to be used to record the training so that he could review and guide during the break.

"Little guy, are you interested in a bullfight first?" Olajuwon skillfully slapped the basketball, and then half-turned to face the basket, the golden rooster jumped independently, the action was smooth, and he threw a mid-range shot at a 45-degree angle, and the basketball hit the board into the basket.

Looking at Olajuwon's skillful movements, Howard said that he was envious, for now, he can only face the basket of mid-to-long-range jumpers, back, turn and combine jump shots are not ideal, let alone inside hooks.

"Okay! Come on, come on! Whoever loses to win prepares drinks every day. It

seems that Olajuwon's purpose is to give himself a dismount before the start of training, so that he can humbly ask for advice, but I am not a coward, and I am a young man, so I can't lose to a retired uncle in his 40s.

"Yes, just play 5 goals, if one side doesn't score, change the attack and defender, and the goal can keep attacking until it doesn't score. "

No problem

!" "Young man, you attack first!" Olajuwon said, passing the ball to Howard.

"Good!" Howard was not polite.

On the first ball, I will use my strong back to fight and eat you on the inside, so that you, the former four major centers, can feel what an inside tyrant is.

So Howard took the ball to a 45-degree waist position and prepared to hit Olajuwon with his back.

Squatted with his back to Olajuwon, squeezed under the basket with a little force, and felt the defensive strength of Olajuwon's top defense, fortunately, it seems that Olajuwon is just testing the strength of his back, and he is not too hard.

"I'm going to attack, Mr. Big Dream!"

"Come on, boy, I'll make you feel what hot pot tastes like!"

I wanted to kindly remind you and prepare you to be beaten by me, but you actually want me to eat hot pot, damn it, I have to give you some color.

Howard lowered his center of gravity, exerted force on his feet and waist, and leaned hard against Olajuwon behind him, feeling the shock force, which was somewhat insignificant.

It seems that after retiring, Olajuwon does not care too much about maintaining his strength, but thinking about retiring, there is really no need to practice strength, and most retired players will choose to enjoy life after retirement.

Howard quickly exerted his strength again, and crashed into Olajuwon twice, this time it was much larger than the first time, and it was not under the buffer after the shock, but in the counterattack, absorbing the opponent's power, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe, and quickly relying on the second hit, and with greater force and explosion.

"I'll go, this power... Damn!" Olajuwon only felt a tightness in his chest, and a huge force exploded in his chest, as if he had hit a train, and his feet couldn't help but take a step back, losing his defensive position.

Seeing that Howard was ready to continue to fight himself, Olajuwon hurriedly dodged.

"Stinky boy, are you going to murder! How old am I, can I withstand a strong beating of such a great force from you?" Olajuwon rubbed his chest, grandma's, this kid's back beating skills, strength and explosion, compared to that shark, I'm afraid the alliance is going to usher in an inside beast again.

If I had just been the top, I would definitely be injured, and I don't know if Da Yao can compete, but what does this have to do with me now, haha, I'm retired, and the headache is the other teams in the league.

"Huh?" Howard, who was originally full of cold and serious faces, heard Olajuwon's words, and looked at Olajuwon who had flashed out of the bottom line in ignorance.

originally planned to use his killer weapon for the first ball, a three-stage hit, with both hands to buckle heavily, to give this single start to a good start.

I didn't expect to use the second stage of power, Olajuwon couldn't bear

it, is this the strength of the four centers? The three-stage play is Howard's own research on the back body singles force skills, the second and third stage of the play, in terms of strength, explosion are much higher than the previous stage, and the frequency of back play is extremely fast, so that the defender has no time to react, the second and third back hits then crash into the opponent.

However, this move consumes a lot of waist, back, and knees, unless it is necessary or at a critical moment, otherwise Howard basically does not use it.

"Boy, I can't stand the brute force of your young people now, in this way, you are here to learn footsteps and skills, this heads-up, you don't need to fight on the inside, and other offensive means can be.

Olajuwon rubbed his chest and spoke helplessly.

"Well, okay!" Howard thought about it, indeed, the current Olajuwon must not be compared with the time when he was known as the league's four major centers at his peak, without the means of interior offense, and it is just right to look at his mid-range offensive ability and footsteps.

Holding the ball again in the left midfield, this time Howard chose to attack the basket, bent over with the ball behind his back with one hand, and looked at the basket.

Olajuwon lowered his center of gravity slightly, attached Howard, raised his left hand high, blocking Howard's view, and at the same time blocking Howard's right side with his body, giving way to the left side, but his right hand was spread out, blocking Howard's left side.

Very good defensive posture, worthy of being one of the four centers, the person who has won the best defensive player. His mid-range ball-holding offense is actually not ideal, and his shooting percentage is not high in the presence of confrontation and interference.

It seems that if you want to score the first goal with certainty, you can only use the speed of your feet to pass the aging Olajuwon, and then it will be easy to score goals.

After making a few tentative steps, seeing that Olajuwon was unmoved, Howard pretended to break to the left, and after dribbling a step, he saw Olajuwon follow and move sideways to the left, and then dribbled to the right hand behind his back, as if to turn to the right to break through.

Olajuwon remained close in front of Howard and didn't give Howard a chance to make a move.

Seeing Olajuwon following closely, Howard awkwardly turned back to the left, at this time, Olajuwon's center of gravity had been fished to the right, and Howard had many more gaps on the left.

Without hesitation, Howard burst into the restricted area and prepared for a layup.

"Don't think!" Although Olajuwon is now slower to move because of his age, his rich defensive experience and excellent awareness have allowed Olajuwon to appear next to Howard.

When Howard stretched out his ball handler and was about to complete the layup, a large black hand mercilessly slapped the basketball in Howard's hand.

"Hey, boy, I'm old, but I'm not a defensible waste. It's my turn to attack, so let's get a good idea of what a dream step is!" Olajuwon smirked at Howard.

Cut, at present, his mid-distance ball attack is not good, and he is not allowed to use low-post singles, which is equivalent to shackling his hands in a boxing match and letting him be disposed of.

And if you hadn't turned around just now, the dribble was not smooth, and with your explosive speed, it would never have been blocked by you.

Switching between attack and defense, Olajuwon stood up to the waist and prepared to start attacking.

"Boy, I'll finish the offense on your left hand, get ready!" Olajuwon dribbled the basketball with ease, as he had just blocked Howard, and looked at Howard with some smug taunting on his face.

Howard didn't bother to respond, this old man, this old man is still so arrogant at his age, let you feel my defense well, dare to underestimate me, hum.

At that moment, Howard lowered his center of gravity and pasted Olajuwon, seeing Olajuwon rushing to the left, he hurriedly followed, dribbled two steps but suddenly stopped, Olajuwon slowly dribbled the ball to the right through the change of direction in front of the body, and raised his hand to shoot.

Howard immediately raised his hand to interfere, and his center of gravity also increased.

But Olajuwon didn't shoot, the rhythm suddenly turned extremely fast, returned to Howard's left side, pulled away half a body, and with a backward lean, completed a jump shot, and the basketball went into the net.

The change of pace and unexpected step-back jumper prevented Howard from jumping and could only watch Olajuwon score.

"First ball!" Olajuwon stretched out his index finger and put it in front of his mouth.

Ten minutes later, the heads-up ended, and the score was miserable, and Howard was blown out by the aging Olajuwon 0:5.

The rhythm change of the dreamy foot, the movement of the foot, the unexpected finishing shot, Olajuwon taught Howard a good lesson.

Howard sat on the sidelines to rest, thinking back to the heads-up just now, no wonder Olajuwon can be called the four centers, and now at this age he still has good foot movement, stable and excellent mid-range, unpredictable rhythm, it is really unguardable, you can imagine how terrifying Olajuwon is at his peak.
