Ignoring the outside world, what Hua Dao is thinking about all day is how to make the two late bloomers in the team form combat effectiveness in advance.

"There are only two years left!"

"I can't wait until they are after 2000!"

The great five-star general General MacArthur said: "As long as you don't die from training, you will train to death!"

Hua Dao has always believed this since he came here!

Let's not talk about Doug Christie, who has fulfilled some of his potential. As for Big Ben, he is short and weak. What can he do if he doesn't train hard?

Flirting with blonde foreign girls from Maple Leaf Country? I'm afraid you are just dreaming. Even Hua Dao himself hasn't dated one yet!

So during this holiday, Hua Dao decided to give Big Ben some special training in advance.

He invited Big Ben's teammate + life mentor-Charles Oakley, who was once one of the most ferocious inside players in the league, known for his strong physical fitness and excellent inside defense.

"Hey, Ben, I asked you to come here this time because I want your master to help you practice your defensive footwork and basket skills."

Hana Michi said to Ben.

Ben looked at Hanamichi with a puzzled look:

"Why? Shouldn't I train my offense?"

Looking at the afro in front of him who was not very smart and didn't have much confidence in his offense, Hanamichi smiled and explained:

"Because next season we are going to beat the strongest team in the league, your defense can be improved."

"Besides, I can tell from your handsome and cool hairstyle and handsome face that you are a potential defensive player. You will definitely be the best defensive player in the league in the future, right?"

Ben said:

"That's right! That's what my master said when I met him in the training camp!"

Ben nodded without hesitation and agreed to the holiday training. After all, Hanamichi was the second person besides his master Charles Oakley who could see at a glance that he would become a great player!

As for Charles Oakley, Hanamichi had another opinion:

"Not only did this kid lie about his height, even if he is really 203cm tall, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the league!"

"If you don't care and are willing to continue to play center, forget it, just ignore what I said!"

"Anyway, you can rest a few more minutes off the court depending on how much progress he makes next season, you decide!"

The words are rough but the truth is true. This season, playing against the Sharks and the Gorillas has been too much for Charles Oakley, not to mention next season. In this league, the inside game is so competitive, and I don't know when it will end!

Besides, Charles Oakley really loves his disciple who makes full use of his afro and height, and he really wants to find a way out for him in basketball!

(Ben played for Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland during high school. Oakley couldn't bear to see Ben waste his talent, so he recommended and guaranteed Ben Wallace to his alma mater, Virginia Union University, to study and play here. Even when Ben was not selected and had no ball to play, Oakley's relationship was involved in his choice to play for the Bullets! A true life mentor)

"Ben still has the ability. He can come up with the idea of ​​using ion perm to fill his height. This brain is not ordinary. I think he has the potential to be the best defensive player!"

Since the team boss has already spoken, what else can be said:

"Practice, realize your potential as soon as possible, and I can retire early and open my own training camp!"

So in the following days, Ben began hard training with Oakley.

Oakley personally demonstrated various defensive techniques, and Ben studied and practiced seriously.

Although Ben is already very good, Oakley has higher requirements. Every action must be perfect. This is something that cannot be learned in the training camp. It can be said that Oakley's bottom-line stuff.

After a period of training, Ben's defensive footsteps became more flexible and his skills under the basket became more skilled. He unknowingly realized that he still had so many shortcomings, which he had not noticed before, so he learned more actively!

It turns out that if you give a sponge a chance, he can quickly drain a bucket of water.

Charles Oakley was completely drained by these two people!

That's right, Hanamichi also joined this learning journey.

He learned a lot of valuable experience and skills from Oakley, which are invaluable things. They will help Hanamichi better command the team, defend opponents, invade the penalty area and protect himself next season!

And there are surprises throughout the training process!

Hanamichi actually found that Ben's offensive ability is not particularly bad, and it is different from the video in the future.'s stiff touch, poor dribbling, and lack of ball sense are totally unrelated.

In fact, when Ben Wallace played for Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, he averaged 24 points, 17 rebounds and 6.9 blocks per game, which was not like a person with poor offensive performance.

In fact, this was because in 1998, Ben Wallace underwent a "carpal tunnel syndrome" (a neurological disease that causes numbness in the fingers) surgery.

However, this minor surgery failed, and since then, Ben's wrist has become abnormally stiff, and his ball control, dribbling and shooting have been affected, making his offense and ball sense, which were not his strengths, even worse.

Therefore, Ben Wallace began to focus on defense, and finally fully realized his talent on the defensive end during his time with the Pistons.

(Those who are interested can check out Ben Wallace's wrist guard, which is to protect the old injury after the failed surgery. It has the three letters "NFZ" written on it, which means "No Fly Zone". This is also the determination made by Ben to achieve the ultimate in defense after the failed surgery! The author really admires it!)

In short, after discovering that Ben not only inherited his master Charles Oakley's tough attitude and visible defensive talent in defense, but also was not as bad as imagined in offense, at least eating a cake and passing the ball were not a problem, Hua Dao was more confident about the next season.

For the entire offseason, Hua Dao was hanging out with Charles Oakley and Ben Wallace.

"Ben is fine, he has a lot of room for improvement, but Flower can actually take the time to learn these inside defense skills, and he has learned a lot, that's really..."

There is a sentence that Niu 13's mother said to Niu 13, but Oakley was embarrassed to say it.

However, looking at the rapidly growing duo, Oakley felt that even the [Shark] would make the Raptors' inside line uncomfortable next season!

In addition, although his signature skills were learned thoroughly, Oakley had no complaints.

He was a seasoned veteran, and Oakley even thought of the recruitment advertisement pictures for the future training camp!

When a group of high school students were exhausted from training and lying on the court, the great Charles Oakley stood up and said calmly:

"Flower was also tired and lying in the same position as you are now!"

If the 13 grids didn't rise directly, wouldn't the training camp take off directly?

It would be even better if I was wearing a championship ring on the poster!

This [bad guy] who always had a cold and steely expression on the court and believed in the iron-blooded spirit of never giving up has been fighting for 11 years in this NBA league, often carrying a ball in fights.

He also longed for that championship ring!

Oakley has never lost in free fighting, but he has never won a championship!

"It seems that my moves are not big enough. I have to work harder next season!"
