After winning against the Pistons, the Suns had the next day off, leaving only one home game against the Magic before the All-Star break.

This morning, Lao Wang conducted two systematic trainings in the morning, took a break at noon, and prepared to practice rebounding skills with Lao Zhang in the afternoon.

His points have not moved because half way through the season, he needs to recuperate his energy. He can only start new training after the original four trainings are completed, and he cannot increase the amount of training.

In fact, his current physical fitness is obviously not as good as a month ago. If he had entered the league from the beginning of the season, he would have hit the rookie wall by now. He has played two months less. But even so, because of playing

Fatai consumes physical energy, and his physical reserve problems have begun to appear, and the rookie wall may appear at any time.

However, you need to use the rebounding training card, which does not consume much physical energy. The main training content is to predict the ball's path, the second is to move the ball, and the third is to protect the ball.

The training time for this rebounder is three months, which can be completed in advance. The total training time is 100 hours. There is no need to maintain an hour of training every day. After completing the training, it will be upgraded to 5 levels.

The training requirements this time are very favorable. It requires the accumulation of experience. He can practice more if he has time. Anyway, this does not consume much physical energy.

However, training requires two assistants, one to shoot and one to rebound with him, and he also needs to hire a trainer.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Baika arrived at the appointed time.

He is a black man, the interior trainer of the Suns. He is 38 years old. He used to be a marginal player in the NBA. He has average athletic quality and average static talent. Although his skills are good, he did not get many opportunities after playing for two years and was still eliminated.

I attended Lao Wang's party for the first time, and Lao Wang paid for his assistant.

"Luo Baika, please work harder. I won't pay you for draining the water." Lao Wang shouted.

"Don't worry, old K, I guarantee you won't be able to grab the rebound easily." Luo Baica, who is 209 centimeters tall and weighs 114 kilograms, patted her chest.

"Bang bang bang..."

Next, Zhang Lili pulled a frame of the ball and started shooting continuously, while Luobaka and Lao Wang continued to compete for rebounds.

Luo Baica kept his word, fought hard for every ball, and even made small moves, completely simulating the real game, which made Lao Wang very satisfied.

I trained for three hours in the afternoon, plus a break in between, and the training ended at six o'clock.

Lao Wang was so tired that he lay on the floor and couldn't get up. He originally thought that rebounding training would not be tiring, but he was wrong. Almost every rebound required a fierce confrontation to grab, coupled with constant take-offs and continuous take-offs.

, the physical energy consumption is no less than strength training, and you can no longer practice like this in the future.

"Old K, I heard that you practiced for three hours in the morning. You have to be careful not to waste your physical reserves." When leaving, Luo Baika reminded.

"Don't worry, I know it." Lao Wang gasped.

He completed strength training and flexibility training in the morning, and also had pace and coordination training in the evening. It was essential every day. It consumed a lot of physical energy, but there was no other way. If he wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, he had to work hard.

"System, if I optimize my shooting technique, can I improve my hook level?" Lying on the floor, he asked in his mind.

"Shooting is a basic skill, but the technical movements of the hook are different from the general basic shooting movements, so optimizing the shooting will not greatly improve the hook," the system said.

He originally wanted to spend 500 points on optimizing his basic shooting skills. The main purpose was to improve his hook shot, but it didn't work. He was a little disappointed.

However, he was still prepared to spend the points because there was no use keeping them.

"System, I am optimizing the ball-handling skills now. If the flexibility and coordination are improved in the future, will the ball-handling skills be improved accordingly?" he asked.

"No, the host needs to conduct corresponding training." The system said.

"Understood."

He gave up on optimizing his ball-handling skills now, but decided to wait until the end of the month when his flexibility and coordination training improved before optimizing, which would be more effective.

"Are there any correlation between the improvement of the system, basic shooting skills and jump shooting skills?" he asked again.

"Basic skills determine the ceiling of jump shots, turnaround jump shots and other skills. The most correct way to improve is to improve basic skills first," the system said.

Well, he decided to optimize his basic shooting skills, and the 500 points were not enough, which meant that his combat effectiveness still needed to be improved.

However, he does not plan to optimize other skills. It is too difficult to accumulate points. Halfway through the season, he wants to accumulate more points and improve his sports quality in the offseason. This is the foundation.

Anyway, even if some technologies are optimized now, the improvement in strength will not be big. When the quality improves in the future, his ceiling will be raised. When the technology is optimized, the benefits can be maximized.

For example, his jump shot is only level 48. Even if it is optimized, how much can it be improved? In the past, his hook level was much higher than that of his jump shot, and it has not improved much. Now his hook shooting rate is not high and is lower than the average skill.

Type center.

"System, redeem me with a skill optimization card. I want to optimize my basic shooting skills," he said.

"Exchange begins...Exchange ends...Optimization begins...Data transmission begins..."

A large number of shooting memories formed a memory imprint in his mind, and then formed a muscle instinct. Without training, it directly became a basketball skill that Wang Tiejun could master.

However, these shooting techniques are only the most basic basic skills, and there are no complicated and high-end skills.

However, these technical movements are no longer his original shooting technical movements. Just like the hook technical movements, they have become the most suitable technical movements for his current body.

"Host, your shooting has been improved from level 50 to level 75, your low-post close-range attack has been improved from level 74 to level 78, your low-post turnaround jumper has been improved from level 20 to level 22, your hook shot has been improved from level 85 to level 86, and your throwing shot has been improved from level 74 to level 78.

Level 50 has been raised to level 55, rebounding has been raised from level 50 to level 55, and jump shooting has been raised from level 48 to level 65."

"Level 65 jump shot?"

Although many skills have been improved accordingly, Comrade Lao Wang is not very excited because the 65-level jump shot is not useful in actual combat. The poor shooting rate is just a waste of ball power and lowers his own evaluation.

He thought again, should he optimize his jump shot now?

But he endured it. It was almost the end of the month and he needed to save enough points to redeem the flexibility and coordination training cards again. This was the most important thing.

Besides, he has a higher-level hook and jump shot skills, which are not too important to him, they are just one more finishing technique.

Between hook shots and jump shots, he prefers hook shots because hook shots are more difficult to block.

When his quality improves in the future, he will optimize the hook again, focusing on improving this finishing technique, so that he can win all over the world with one move.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Magic had arrived in Phoenix.

As last year's No. 1 pick, O'Neal's peak performance upon debut was undoubtedly a big surprise for the league. Many media have even listed him as the fourth-best super center.

At around five o'clock, Magic checked into the hotel and held a press conference at the hotel at six o'clock.

"Tie Jun, the magic is here, look at the news reports."

Lao Zhang, who was preparing dinner, turned on the TV, tuned to the Phoenix TV sports channel, and then continued to choose dishes.

Soon, the sports news at six o'clock started.

"What a pervert, I'd better try to cut off 2010 on his head this time, otherwise the gap with him will be even greater." Seeing O'Neal appearing on the TV screen, Lao Wang said with a headache.

"Tie Jun, I heard from the media that this guy named Big Shark has gained weight again. He used to be 125 centimeters when he entered the league. Now I estimate it is no less than 128 kilograms. How tall are you now?" Lao Zhang asked.

"124." Old Wang said.

"There is a tonnage difference of 4 kilograms, but his body fat rate must be more than 10%, his muscle content is lower than yours, and his absolute strength will not be stronger than yours." Lao Zhang said.

"The absolute strength is about the same, even a little worse than mine, but his explosive power is several levels stronger than mine. I guarded him once in the low post, and it was very difficult and I had to use all my strength." Lao Wang said.

What he couldn't say was that not only did he have to use all his strength, but he also had to use the iron mountain support, otherwise it would be impossible to withstand it.

In his opinion, O'Neal poses a greater threat to him than the three super centers.

"Tie Jun, is your body fat rate a little low?" Lao Zhang said.

"Don't be afraid, there is no one in this world whose body is stronger than the iron and wooden stake outside." Lao Wang shook his head.

"Too."

Lao Zhang couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he thought of the sixty-centimeter-thick iron and wooden stake.

"Besides, I also have a body fat rate of 8%, not much lower." Lao Wang said.

Lao Zhang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time the interview on TV began.

"O'Neal, last time I was dunked by Mr. K, do you want to return it this time?" a local reporter said with a smile.

O'Neal's hair was pulled, his eyes widened, and he immediately said angrily: "Tell me, old K, he will dunk me again tomorrow, oh no, I will be dunked by him again, oh, damn

, Shete, I will dunk him, yes, that’s it.”

"Ha ha……"

Not only did he burst into laughter at the press conference, but Lao Wang also fell down laughing at home.

February 19th, game day.

In the morning, Jay Maloney of CAA sent a text message to Lao Wang. It contained the name and room number of a hotel. He said that the room had been reserved and asked Lao Wang to go directly to Salt Lake City when he arrived in Salt Lake City tomorrow. He would wait there.

he.

At 7:30, the two teams announced their starting lineup.

Magic: O'Neal, Tom Boltotter, Anthony Bowie, Nick Anderson, Scott Skiles

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Jarrod Mustaf, Richard Dumars, Dan Mulley, Kevin Johnson

The game was broadcast live nationwide by ABC, and the commentators were Rango Gomez and Morton Ilanton.

Elandon said at this time: "We have previewed this game a long time ago. This is a game that everyone is looking forward to."

Gomez laughed and said: "Let me tell you something first. Barkley was banned for one game for beating Ranbir, so he can only sit in the stands wearing a suit. Come on, give him a close-up."

ABC's camera turned and focused on Barkley behind the Suns bench.

Buckley, who was wearing a suit and ties, quickly reacted, glanced at the hanging screen, smiled and waved.
