Chapter 13

Overall, Zhou Yu's performance in the whole game satisfied Harris.

After the match, everyone dispersed physically and mentally exhausted, and only Kobe continued to practice hard in the empty arena.

Zhou Yu looked at Kobe, who was doing shooting practice repeatedly, with some distress, and was not in a hurry to leave.

He wanted to go up and say a few more words of comfort, but was stopped by Wang Hui and said:

"Da Zhi, you'd better not worry about other people's affairs. That Kobe will be cut by the team sooner or later. You can't help him or anything."

"Sister Wang, I just think that as friends, it's only natural to help each other."

Zhou Yu said earnestly.

"Da Zhi, don't you see that everyone wants to isolate him, don't you want to make enemies with other teammates?"

Wang Hui then painstakingly persuaded.

"Sister Wang, I think people need the help of friends more when they encounter difficulties."

As Zhou Yu spoke, he walked straight to Kobe's side.

"Kobe, you should learn to trust your teammates and cooperate more with your teammates. This is the way to win."

Zhou Yuyu said earnestly.

"Do you think those teammates are willing to cooperate with me? They only care about themselves. I don't think it's better to rely on myself than anyone else, and I also believe that one day I will become a top player like Magic and Jordan."

Kobe paused for a moment with the basketball in his hand, bit his lip, and said with firm eyes.

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly. What Kobe said was very Kobe and fit his competitive personality. It seemed that it would be useless to talk too much, so he had no choice but to leave the training hall slowly with Wang Hui.

"Big Zhi, why do you have a soft spot for that Kobe? Could it be because you like him?"

While walking, Wang Hui asked with great interest.

Zhou Yu couldn't help blushing. Wang Hui was obviously suspicious of his sexual orientation, which made him very embarrassed, and it was inconvenient for him to reveal in advance how great the future Kobe would be, so he had to laugh it off in embarrassment.

After leaving the training hall, Zhou Yu and Wang Hui got into the newly bought Land Rover together. Zhou Yu drove and Wang Hui sat in the co-pilot and ran all the way to the residence.

Since getting the 50 USD paid by the Lakers in advance, Zhou Yu has a lot more money. Not only did he buy a car, he even changed his rented house to a bigger apartment closer to the arena.

Back at the apartment, Zhou Yu rested for a while, and then continued to practice hard in the "basketball superstar growth system", focusing on strengthening the training of strength and inside footwork skills.

These two abilities are very important for an inside player. Having sufficient strength can help the inside player push the defender and score easily at the basket.

The flexible and changeable footwork technique can help the inside players to open up enough shooting space to score with shots or hooks.

It's just that compared to strength, inside footsteps are more suitable for Asian players with weaker physiques to use their fists inside.After all, no matter how hard Asian players train, they cannot match the strength of black players with explosive physique.

Therefore, Zhou Yu specially strengthened the inside footwork training this time.

The core of the inside footwork is to use one foot as the axis, and the other foot to shake the defender away through unpredictable fake moves, and then take the opportunity to score.

In fact, Zhou Yu knows some basic inside footwork skills, but because the technical movements are not coherent and proficient enough, and the fake moves are not realistic enough, so the effect in actual combat is not good.

Fortunately, the system contains a "real person-style one-on-one training panel". Zhou Yu can find out the shortcomings and make improvements through "one-on-one" competition with real people.

So, he once again came to silver-level defensive champion Alonso Mourning, ready to compete with him again.

Due to the continuous improvement of strength, facing Mourning's crushing advance, Zhou Yu is no longer so stretched and helpless, and has some basic confrontation capabilities, or can slow down his advance speed.

In the intense physical confrontation, Zhou Yu also gradually explored some defensive skills, such as taking a step back when the opponent is exerting force, so as to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm; stepping up in time when the opponent is withdrawing force, enhancing the defensive oppression sex.

On the offensive end, Zhou Yu has strengthened his feints, and the coherence and realism are getting better and better, and the offensive efficiency has improved.

The point difference between the two heads-ups with 12 points each time was gradually narrowing. Finally, Zhou Yu narrowly defeated Mourning with "12:10" in a heads-up, avoiding the baptism of cold water.

Zhou Yu, who was lying paralyzed on the floor, panted heavily, and couldn't believe that he had defeated Mourning, who was known as the "tough guy".

What surprised him even more was that after defeating Mourning, he was rewarded with the skill "chasing body and blocking shots". This should be Mourning's housekeeping skill.

Through hard training during this period, Zhou Yu's various abilities and attribute values ​​have broken through the 70-point mark and reached the silver level. Compared with Kobe, Zhou Yu's various abilities are more balanced. Therefore, the comprehensive strength evaluation is as follows: NBA main bench player.

Zhou Yu was very happy. It seemed that he had basically gained a foothold in the NBA, and all that was left was to advance to the main players.

At the same time, the Atlanta Olympic men's basketball competition is also in full swing.

The Chinese men's basketball team joined the American men's basketball team joined by Barkley, Pippen, Robinson and other NBA superstars, the Lithuanian men's basketball team led by "Roof of the World" Sabonis, the European giants Croatian men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team, and the African champion Angola. Group.

Due to the lack of Zhou Yu's participation and the strong opponents, the Chinese men's basketball team only defeated the weakest Angola team in the group. The rest of the games ended in defeat and failed to advance to the quarterfinals.

Sitting in front of the TV, Zhou Yu watched the Chinese team's game almost every game, with mixed emotions in his heart.Compared with the superior personal skills of the American teams and the flexible tactics of the European teams, the Chinese men's basketball team has few characteristics at all.

The tactical play is old-fashioned and single, coupled with the limited personal abilities of the players, the offensive and defensive ends are full of loopholes, and it is reasonable to be out of the game.

After a long sigh, Zhou Yu will prepare carefully for the NBA preseason next.

The preseason game is called a tactical practice field, and the results are not included in any statistics. Therefore, every NBA team will send many substitutes to participate in the competition to enrich the team's tactical play and improve the depth of the bench.

Perhaps it was due to the consideration of hiding his strength, or maybe it was full of confidence in Zhou Yu's tactical understanding. In the preseason, Harris did not give Zhou Yu much playing time, but let him observe the performance of each team humbly off the court. Tactical play, preparing for the regular season in the near future.

Kobe was also on the bench off the court. Although Kobe was full of infinite desire to play, Harris still didn't give him many chances to play.

Despite this, Kobe, who was sitting off the court, still did not forget to take the opportunity to practice his dribbling skills, and the round basketball jumped around like an obedient child in his hands.

Infected by Kobe, Zhou Yu also watched the situation on the field while sitting on a chair and kept patting the basketball to enhance his sense of the ball.

Inside players also need excellent dribbling skills, especially for technical insiders like Zhou Yu, proficient dribbling skills are even more essential.

Among the preseason games, the most popular is naturally the No. 1.83 pick Allen Iverson. This guard who is only [-] meters tall is known as the shortest No. [-] pick in history.

Although he is not tall, his dribbling skills are very cool, and his offensive methods are ever-changing, which has attracted great attention from various media.

As for the No. [-] pick Marcus Camby and No. [-] pick Raheem, they have received a lot of attention. Camby, who is tall and long, is better at defending, while Raheem, who is also an inside player, is better at attacking. The two complement each other. .

The No. 4 show Marbury and the No. 5 show Ray Allen are both regarded as excellent outside players, and even regarded as Jordan's successor.

No. 6 pick Anthony Walker, although he is a power forward, has the skills of a guard and is regarded as the hope of the Celtics' resurgence.

In contrast, Kobe, the No. 13 pick, and Nash, the No. 15 pick, received little attention. After all, it is difficult for them to be the main players in the team, let alone attract attention.

As for Zhou Yu himself, he only received some attention because of his identity as an Asian player when he first signed with the Lakers, but with the outstanding performance of other rookies, he was gradually forgotten by the media.

But that's good too. For Zhou Yu, a newcomer, not paying much attention can relieve the pressure and make it easier for him to go into battle.

At the press conference before the new season, the leading stars of the NBA teams even dropped their rhetoric and set ambitious goals one after another.

And Shaquille O'Neal even threatened to destroy the big dream Olajuwon, overthrow the Utah Jazz's "black and white double evil", and finally swept the defending champion Bulls in the finals.

On November 11, the NBA1-1996 season officially kicked off. The Lakers' first opponent was the Phoenix Suns where Nash was.

Due to the joining of O'Neal, the Lakers have received extensive media attention, and former Lakers superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar served as a guest commentator.

The spacious Lakers home arena was full of seats. As soon as the Lakers entered the arena, they received waves of applause and cheers.Of course, these applause and cheers are more dedicated to Shaquille O'Neal, the former Magic super center is highly anticipated.

Before the start of the game, the Lakers made a deal with the Suns, sending small forward Ceballos in exchange for power forward Robert Horry.

The 2.06-meter-tall power forward has won seven championship rings in his career with the Rockets, Lakers and Spurs. Even Jordan is ashamed of himself. He is known as "Mr. extreme.
