Chapter 493 Basic Operations 6

"Your basic skills are pretty good. You are probably the best among the big men I have ever seen. You are also very good at controlling the ball, but your skills under the basket are too rough. In fact, I personally think you are more suitable for the No. 3 position."

"Your positioning is a bit vague. It is unnecessary to practice the skills under the basket, rebounding, defense and outside line at the same time. You have O'Neal in the Cavaliers, and you are the absolute overlord of the league under the basket. Wouldn't it be better for you to play the No. 3 position? But when it comes to the ability to get rid of it, it is better to ask old Earl to teach you. That is his unique skill."

"If you want to focus on strength training and do not want to gain weight, ha, LeBron, you really came to the right place. This is what we do!"

"Run, run! Today's running volume is far from enough. I am measuring it for you. Don't think you can rest after the training program is over. We only have three months!"

"Sprint! Sprint, sprint, sprint! Have your muscles grown in vain? I want to see your explosive power!"

…………

After the training, LeBron left through the back door to avoid the students' sight.

The dormitory he lived in was the one that Lin Dong had lived in before.

The room was very small. Although Lloyd had specially helped him to change a big bed, it was still too crowded in this narrow room, and he couldn't stretch his legs.

Curled up on it, LeBron couldn't help but think of the small bed he had in Coach Frank's house.

He turned his head and looked at the room where Lin Dong had lived.

There were two Jordan posters on the wall, but unlike the fans who usually collect posters as treasures, there were some words scribbled on these posters with a pen. They were written in Chinese, often with only a few words, and some numbers were marked: 8.25, XXXX...9.2, XXXXX...

And so on. Based on LeBron's understanding of Lin Dong, he could probably guess that this was the date record when he first came to Lloyd's training base, but he didn't know what the Chinese words on it said.

If it was LeBron before he came here, the LeBron who had been a little obsessed with studying Lin Dong, then the first thing he would do now would definitely be to find a translator to see what these Chinese words said.

But at this time, LeBron just looked at the words on the poster quite calmly, with a deep look in his eyes.

Thanks to the research on Lin Dong these days, and watching the duel between Kobe and Lin Dong from the perspective of a bystander, and thanks to the detailed video after the game, there is a shot recording what Lin Dong said to Kobe: The meaning of sports realm is to surpass oneself, and it is meaningless to choose others as the goal of surpassing. Studying me will not let you beat me, it will only make you lose yourself!

For more than half a month after that game, LeBron has been thinking about this sentence day and night.

On the surface, this sentence is very simple. Don't put your mind on Lin Dong, concentrate on your own work, constantly improve yourself, be yourself, and you will naturally break through after accumulating enough. Only when you have also broken through the limit, you are qualified to use one of your advantages to fight with Lin Dong, and you are qualified to compete with him to see whose limit is stronger.

But the simpler the meaning on the surface, the harder it is to really understand.

Improve yourself and break through the limit?

It's really easy to say...

How to improve?

Whether it is Kobe or himself, who hasn't been training hard with Lin Dong as the goal in the past two years?

But is it useful? What is the real limit? Is there a standard?

Frankly speaking, LeBron himself doesn't know.

He doesn't know what the so-called limit is, let alone to what extent he should achieve to see that illusory thing.

At the beginning, he didn't know how to go on that road, and he couldn't even see where the road was.

It was not until the anxiety, irritability, and anger of nearly a month completely overwhelmed him and made LeBron fall into despair that he finally saw a vaguely feasible way.

Give up the No. 3 position and switch to the inside line, but this time it is not to avoid Lin Dong, but to consolidate the Cavaliers' existing advantages and maximize the team's advantages.

Facing the strongest spear and the strongest shield, your only way is to achieve a certain point to the extreme.

Either you have an invincible shield, or you have to have an equally invincible spear.

Even if the Supersonics can't stop the Cavaliers, as long as you have an invincible spear that can pierce the Supersonics' shield, you can die together, and there's nothing to be afraid of!

Once this idea is opened, the limitations of the original thinking of "I must win Lin Dong" will also dissipate.

It is not necessary to face Lin Dong alone to win, leading the team to win is also a win!

Then the focus of my training will be on this aspect.

Inside technology, rebounds, etc. are to consolidate the Cavaliers' inside advantage, and the ability to get rid of outside shooting is to crack the Supersonics' unlimited rotation defense. After all, the characteristics of rotation defense are destined to leak opportunities from the outside. As long as you have enough shooters, you can make their rotation defense lose sight of one thing!

As for the Cavaliers now, Wade and Kidd both have the ability to shoot three-pointers, and they are both quick-fire three-pointers. The Supersonics are not afraid of two shooters, they can lock them down, but if a third one is added... Just like the previous game between the Supersonics and the Cavaliers, if Varejao's three-pointer was a little more accurate, the Cavaliers would be able to cross the line drawn by the Supersonics and make the Supersonics' defense collapse in an instant!

Finally, it’s defense… The most defensive training LeBron does now is to sprint from the basket, rush to the outside to block the shot, and use the four outside positions to pass the ball to shoot. He observes the ‘end point’ of the pass, and then rushes out from the free throw area to block or interfere.

At the beginning, he couldn’t do this at all. The free throw area is at least two or three meters away from the outside, and the four passing positions are widely distributed. It is also a test of vision and defensive experience to observe whether they decide to stop passing and turn to the end point.

But in about half a month, with the improvement of muscle reflexes and the brain’s prediction of the details of the catch-and-shoot action, LeBron began to slowly find some feelings, and was able to rush out to interfere at any time, and occasionally blocked one or two.

This trick is definitely not effective against Lin Dong, but since the knot has been untied, LeBron knows that he doesn’t need to deal with Lin Dong, as long as he can block other people on the outside of the Supersonics...

All training has changed from targeting Lin Dong to targeting the Supersonics.

At the same time, LeBron did not forget Lin Dong's words "surpass yourself".

He is creating an unprecedented special inside line... an all-around inside line that can play from the 1st position to the 5th position!

Unlike Kobe Bryant, who can do everything, his all-around ability is to only practice one or two moves in each position, and all of them are selected according to his own physical characteristics, etc., which LeBron himself calls 5+1 inside line.

The added 1 refers to defense.

However, such training requires a lot of time and energy. If he participates in the Cavaliers' games normally, it is definitely impossible to train any effect, so he asked for a long vacation from Laura.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers' current lineup is already very strong. Even if he is not there, this Cavaliers will probably only be tight when facing the Supersonics and the Lakers. It is still easy to play against other teams. Whether he is there or not will not affect the Cavaliers' ticket to the playoffs.

Since he has to rest for the entire season to train, it is definitely not appropriate to stay in the United States. It is estimated that he will be chased by reporters every day, so he simply runs away and came to the Lloyd Training Base in Japan.

After this place became popular in Asia, their expertise in physical conditioning has become world-renowned, which can help me.

Of course, more importantly, this was once Lin Dong's training base.

Study Lin Dong, become Lin Dong, surpass Lin Dong?

Old K's words did point him in the right direction, and also let him find a way to deal with Lin Dong to a certain extent. Old K was right.

But now, this is no longer LeBron's cognition.

His consciousness gradually came back from his memories, and his sight was refocused on the poster full of dates and various unreadable Chinese.

"Lin Dong..." LeBron's mouth curled up slightly.

Coming here to train, and even choosing to live in Lin Dong's cabin, he has only one purpose, that is to remind himself not to forget the mountain pressing on his head! It is also to remind himself that he must never forget the gap between the two!

This was the guy's training base in high school, but now he is an NBA star, he still lives in that guy's high school dormitory, as if he is still chasing after his high school level...

This self-imposed imagination makes LeBron feel ashamed, but it is also this shame that makes him excited, because only in this way can he give him the greatest motivation to train!

He grabbed a dart toy on the table and threw it over, hitting the tip of Jordan's nose on the poster, where there is also a date written by Lin Dong: 12.12, and the dart just hits the "dot" in the middle.

LeBron's mouth curled up slightly: "Practice 200 more balls tomorrow!"

………………

If you want to talk about the most awesome and unique teams in the league now, the Cavaliers, Wizards, Timberwolves, etc. are actually worthy of competition.

For example, McGrady, who was criticized by the media for the poor performance of the Wizards some time ago, once cursed at the reporter at the news scene and shouted that he wanted to wear his No. 175 jersey again. That was the number he wore in the Adidas training camp. At that time, the numbers were ranked according to the strength of the players. No. 175 represented that he was the last one. So when the reporter questioned him, he simply said that I would change to the last one jersey for you to see, and you would not be so annoying? I am the last one and I have also played in the NBA and got the maximum salary. What do you have to say? At one time, he even went to the league and forced the league to give him the privilege of a three-digit No. 175 jersey. As a result, he received a fine from the league. But even so, the guy still shouted that he wanted to apply for it again. This is a lack of personality?

The Timberwolves, the wolf king Garnett, had a fight with Anthony during the game against the Nuggets. He even joked that the other man’s wife tasted like donuts. As a result, the furious Anthony led people to block the Timberwolves bus. This is a lack of personality?

The Cavaliers have even more personalities. After O'Neal lost the first game, he worked hard for half a month, but as soon as the Cavaliers won 8 consecutive games, this guy relaxed again. Not only did he miss a game without reason, he also lied to the team and said he was not feeling well. But that night he was seen on TV performing wrestling with WWE and Vincent, and he was given two beautiful opponents with big breasts and big butts... The Cavaliers management was so angry that they vomited blood, and they lost the game that day to the Raptors, whose performance this season was quite average.

There is no way. Although Wade and Kidd are awesome, they can't lead three teams. The Cavaliers' substitutes are too bad. What's worse is that there are more than one player with the same personality as O'Neal. Their LeBron has also disappeared, and it is said that he has directly asked for a vacation for the entire regular season!

Asking for leave? And asking for a whole season of leave?

Oh, my God!

The owners of all the teams in the league felt extremely sympathetic to Laura Ballmer at this moment.

It's a headache for a team to have one such problematic player, and the Cavaliers actually have two!

Who can stand this...

Fortunately, I am not the owner of the Cavaliers, otherwise I would be driven crazy by this team!

Therefore, when it comes to teams and players with personality, I am afraid it must be the Cavaliers.

However, when it comes to fans with personality, it must be the Sonics.

On December 12, the Sonics once again easily defeated the Spurs, who ranked second in the West, and won their 20th consecutive victory of the season.

If other teams had boasted about 20 consecutive wins at the start of the new season, local fans would have been excited for a while, but for Seattle fans, this was nothing new.

When Seattleites talk about the Sonics' regular season record, they would only say: What? We only won by 25 points in this game? Oh, this team is very strong! By the way, what team are they?

What? Already won 20 games in a row?

Tsk tsk tsk, don't be so surprised! You look so surprised, stay calm!

Break the previous record of 34 consecutive wins? Tsk, look at what you said, you have to open up your mind and be bolder. Our goal this season is to win all the games!
