Chapter 7: A Single Skill to Conquer All
Barkley stood up with a frown and said discontentedly: "If you can't even participate in practice, who can expect your performance in the game?"
The teaching assistant blew the whistle again
Paul Westphal shook his head
System, do you have any suggestions
Arrange for him a detailed strength training and technical training program, aiming to elevate him to the level of a professional player within a few months
What does management mean
After serving Miller for quite a while, Wang Tiejun felt that this guy lacked any real strength. With such a large tonnage, his muscles seemed to be of no use; the power behind his back strikes was not particularly strong. It appeared that his back strike technique was average, and he had not mastered the proper techniques for exerting force, resulting in a failure to unleash his strength.
Kelangluo felt somewhat disappointed; he had high hopes for Oliver Miller, hoping he would become the future starting center for the Suns. However, in the recent practice, he couldn't even overpower a Chinese youth he picked up from the street.
Bang bang
Oliver Miller shot a fierce glare at Wang Tiejun and began the third back-to-the-basket move
Oliver Miller arrived at the low post on the left wing with the ball
Wang Tiejun stepped forward
Oliver, since you have requested a sparring partner, you must endure a reasonable level of resistance. What you did just now was incorrect, and your attitude was also inappropriate. Please pay more attention in the future
Thank you!
Bang
However, he has a strong sense of competition; upon seeing Wang Tiejun undergoing a physical assessment, he immediately sensed that something was amiss
Recalling the last technical synthesis card, the system made the best choice for him, thus he focused his ideas on the system again
Ding!
The host's strongest attribute lies in strength, the most proficient technique on the offensive end is in low-post back-to-the-basket play, and the most effective technique on the defensive end is in one-on-one defense. A commonality among these three aspects is the presence of formidable strength. Therefore, the system recommends that the host continue to enhance their strength.
An assistant referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of this offensive play
Grass
Miller seized the opportunity and was about to launch a second back-arching move when he was unexpectedly pushed from behind with tremendous force, causing him to stumble forward and lose the ball
What are you doing
Unfortunately, although his tonnage is large, it is not greater than Old Wang's striking power, and his movement speed is not faster than Old Wang's due to his excessive weight, so his impact on Old Wang is even less effective than that of Mark West
I want to practice my offense
Oliver Miller began to dribble and then forcefully leaned back.
Wang Tiejun watched an NBA game live for the first time, and he was thoroughly impressed
With his weight of 127 kilograms, Wang Tiejun's body trembled from the impact, nearly causing him to lose his balance
Come on
There is nothing to regret; a person like O'Neal is rarely seen in twenty or thirty years
However, after repeated consideration, he could not make up his mind about which quality or skill training card to exchange for
On that evening, the Suns faced off against the Knicks in an away game
His striking power is not as strong as mine
On the morning of the second day, before the team's training, Kolanglo instructed the coaching staff to conduct a physical assessment for Wang Tiejun.
In the absence of alternatives, one can only resort to underhanded tactics
His idea is to use his tonnage and strength to directly overturn this Chinese guy, making the other party look foolish, while also demonstrating his own strength to the management and coaching staff
At this moment, head coach Paul Westphal stepped forward to stop Barkley from continuing to reprimand West, and then he said to Oliver Miller:
Barkley is unhappy, is this favoritism? Which team's practice is one-sided, where I can elbow you, but you cannot elbow me? No wonder you guys are all useless
Oliver Miller was completely baffled to see that a physical fitness test was arranged for a sparring partner
However, he immediately began to counterattack, which is a form of proactive defense. He directly engaged with the Iron Mountain Lean, suddenly dropping his feet down, twisting his waist, combining the six forces, and forcefully leaning forward.
Everyone in the coaching staff was very surprised, and so was Coranglo, just like head coach Paul Westphal
Leaning on his elbows, he gained experience, his strength both great and fierce, causing Oliver Miller to grimace in pain, feeling quite uncomfortable
It makes sense
He strode up to West, pointing at his nose and said: "West, I don't need you to teach me how to do things, do you understand? Who do you think you are? In this league, no one is qualified to tell me how to do my job"
Wang Tiejun nodded repeatedly
He is the Phoenix Suns' first-round pick, number 22, this year. He is a center, standing at 206 centimeters tall and weighing as much as 127 kilograms, making his density the highest in the league
However, as a novice, he had no voice and could only remain silent, yet in his heart, he was already filled with caution towards Wang Tiejun
I understand, coach
The coaching staff now fully understands that Kolanglo is not merely hiring a sparring partner; this is a preparation to cultivate Wang Tiejun.
Wang Tiejun had no idea that Miller's tonnage would be so large, being considerably shorter than him, and was caught off guard by the collision
The saying "a single skill can conquer all" is also applicable in the context of basketball
Wang Tiejun is also an ambitious person; whenever there is an opportunity, he will certainly want to showcase his abilities. Miller's intentions align perfectly with his own.
Kelangluo advised the coaching staff
"Charles, why do you show favoritism towards one sparring partner?" Mark West, relying on his seniority, stepped forward
On the afternoon of the 27th, the Suns returned to Phoenix
Super center Ewing scored 35 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, while also delivering 3 blocks, dominating both offensively and defensively against the Suns' interior, leading his team to victory over the Suns
You
In the evening, Wang Tiejun slept in a separate room and activated the system, having 200 points, just enough to exchange for a training card
At 10 o'clock, Wang Tiejun's physical test data was released
Since there are too many shortcomings that cannot be compensated for, it is better to make the strengths even stronger
Subsequently, he delivered two consecutive elbow strikes, but Wang Tiejun did not become angry; after all, the force was not very strong, and he could still withstand it
Miller, with a flushed face from the elbowing, angrily slammed the ball onto Wang Tiejun's body
However, since it is a confrontation, it is bilateral; one cannot simply endure the blows. Therefore, he also began to counterattack, occasionally elbowing Miller in the soft waist from behind
Old Wang once again employed the pushing technique of Tieshankao, and with the added tonnage and powerful pushing force, he sent Miller staggering, nearly causing him to fall to the floor, resulting in another lost ball
Since joining the Suns, he has received an average of nearly 20 minutes of playing time per game, with statistics of 5 + 5. His excessive weight has limited his performance, resulting in an average display.
"Hey, Chinese, will you practice with me?" At this moment, Oliver Miller walked up to Wang Tiejun and said
Oliver Miller said defiantly
Kelangluo arranged for Wang Tiejun to stay at the training base for the convenience of training
Alright, let's stop here. We are all teammates, so do not act impulsively
Of course, he nodded.
Bang
"You elbowed me, can’t I elbow you?" Wang Tiejun said in surprise
"Damn it, I also want to point at others' noses and curse at them, and they wouldn't dare to retort." Looking at Barkley's imposing presence, Wang Tiejun was filled with envy.
The Suns' starting center, Mark West, played for 27 minutes, delivering a standard performance with 2 points, 1 rebound, and 4 turnovers
S + static talent
West was scolded by Barkley, his face flushed with anger, feeling extremely frustrated, but this is the status that comes with strength; he was powerless to resist and could only swallow his anger.
Fortunately, during the last incident, he witnessed Mark West's downfall with his own eyes, so he did not dare to exert too much force, and his movements were not as pronounced.
Oliver Miller was extremely frustrated; this plan had completely failed, resulting in a loss of face, and he couldn't even manage to secure a single sparring partner
Come again
Next, Oliver Miller began to back down.
Kelangluo and the others did not pay any attention and just stood by watching
Especially Ewing's outstanding performance left him, also a center, in awe
"You are merely a sparring partner, do not forget your role," Oliver Miller said disdainfully, with anger.
Bang
Old Wang is eager for him to live outside and even pay for rent, which is simply not cost-effective
Taking advantage of the opportunity to turn, he elbowed Wang Tiejun and seized the chance to slam dunk into the basket
He comes from a background in traditional martial arts and knows a bit about it. Most traditional martial arts techniques are practiced repetitively for decades, focusing on one or two killing moves, while the rest are merely forms of practice.
Hehe
Bang
Ding!
Rookie
Unfortunately, the dynamic talent is quite ordinary
