Super Role Player

On September 7, the hot weather in Houston was unbearable. Even practicing in an air-conditioned arena on this day was extremely uncomfortable. ~~щww~suimеng~lā

Anxi is practicing at the moment, and he can still hear the heavy breathing of LeBron James and the shouts of Hakeem Olajuwon not far away.

With a snap, Anxi dribbled the ball, then turned around and made a hook layup...

Bang, the basketball bounced twice on the rim before barely getting into the rim.

"Ann, your turn is too fast, LeBron has not been completely shaken by you!" Hagem Olajuwon immediately commented on the ball, not harshly, but Anxi knew that this was Olajuwon, He always teaches you how to do it calmly. Anxi feels very comfortable with this training method.

What's more comfortable is that he didn't expect to meet LeBron James in the Big Dream training camp, which allowed him to test his training gains in actual combat.

LeBron James also came to Hajim Olajuwon to train his post-up skills and low-post skills. In the finals, Anxi’s invincible post-up singles gave LeBron James this idea. He felt that he should continue Strengthen his back, so LeBron James found Olajuwon again. He came once in the previous off-season, after the season he lost to the Mavericks.

This time, LeBron James did not expect that he would meet Anxi in the Big Dream training camp, but on the first day he came, Anxi's training in the Big Dream training camp had already come to an end.

So, naturally, LeBron James and Anxi regarded each other as a training partner, especially LeBron James, he didn't think Anxi was qualified to let him be a training partner, but Anxi was more than enough to be his training partner.

But when the duel between the two really started, LeBron James realized that he was wrong.

Anxi's back-up technique has long been able to beat him, and after two weeks of continuous low-post training in the Dameng training camp, Anxi's low-post technique has already improved once, and that improvement directly made Anxi's The low position has grown to 70, and the post-up technique has grown to 80. Facing LeBron James, Anxi naturally exerted all his strength and abused James severely.

And today is the third day that Anxi and LeBron James have practiced with each other. On September 8, Anxi will leave the Big Dream training camp, so this heads-up should be the last time the two play each other.

LeBron James clapped his hands hard, and then shouted: "Come on, it's my turn!"

LeBron James puts on an offensive stance,

Take the basketball from Anxi.

After a sprint, LeBron James came to the low position, facing Anxi with his back, and with a bang, Anxi took half a step back. It has to be said that LeBron James still has some physical advantages. This time, Anxi was a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Anxi took half a step back, James felt that the opportunity had come. He turned around and forced Anxi to send the basketball into the basket, but Anxi didn't lose his position. He just took half a step back, stretched out his hand and blocked The angle of James' shot, the basketball slammed into the backboard and bounced off.

No entry!

Hajim Olajuwon said a few more words on the sidelines: "LeBron, you are too anxious, Anxi has not been completely shaken away, your second step should be a fake move, to deceive Anxi's defensive center of gravity , and layup from the other side, that's the right thing to do."

LeBron James nodded and continued to engage in the confrontation with Anxi.

The confrontation lasted for half an hour. Olajuwon yelled to let Anxi and James rest first, then walked to the side of the two, and used a tactical board to analyze the problems of the two for Anxi and James.

There are definitely problems. On the one hand, although Anxi's back and low position have improved, they are definitely not perfect. On the other hand, Olajuwon can see Anxi's problems clearly as a bystander.

After a few more pointers, Olajuwon mentioned Anxi's departure.

"Ann, when are you leaving tomorrow?"

Anxi is leaving? LeBron James looked up at Anxi. In the past two days of training with Anxi, LeBron James feels that he has gained a lot, because Anxi is not only a master of backs and low positions, but also a master of defense.

Now that Anxi suddenly said that he wanted to leave, LeBron James was a little bit reluctant. After that, LeBron James could only shake his head in his heart. If Anxi wanted to leave, he couldn't control others at all.

Faced with Olajuwon's question, Anxi nodded. He had already thought about it: "Yes, I'm going to leave tomorrow morning and fly directly to Philadelphia by plane."

"You started pre-season training so early?" Olajuwon suddenly burst out of curiosity.

"No, the training camp starts on September 15th, and it's only a few days away."

Olajuwon nodded, and then said with a smile: "How about this, I will treat you tonight and give you a ride, LeBron, come together?"

LeBron James nodded: "Okay."

After resting for about ten minutes, the confrontation started again, and there was constant shouting in the training hall. Finally, Anxi and James, who were exhausted, lay down on the floor for a while, and then Olajuwon went to the underground garage in advance Driving, waiting for Anxi and James at the entrance of the arena.

In the locker room, An Xi, who came back to his senses, took a shower, and then watched LeBron James come in.

LeBron James didn't go to take a shower directly, he stood at the door for a while, and then suddenly said: "Ann, let me ask you a question, why did you suddenly explode in the finals last season?"

Anxi froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly in her heart, why did she suddenly explode? Well, this question is really level.

"I thought I was in good shape, so I just exploded."

"But this is not in line with common sense. When you are playing against the Warriors, your performance can only be said to be average, but when you are playing against us, you suddenly become very energetic."

Anxi tilted his head and thought for a while, and he found a reason for himself: "Maybe you don't have a real perimeter defensive player, the Warriors have them, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes are both."

"An outside defensive player..."

LeBron James just muttered this sentence, and then walked into the bathroom alone.

...

In the evening, Olajuwon hosted a banquet for Anxi and James at a western restaurant in downtown Houston, but there was not much talk between the three of them. LeBron James didn’t like to talk much when facing Anxi and Olajuwon. Anxi doesn't know if it's James' own personality, but seeing how he talks in front of the live broadcast camera, Anxi thinks that maybe LeBron James just thinks that he has nothing to talk about with himself and Olajuwon, so he has nothing to say.

On the contrary, Anxi and Olajuwon talked a lot, including the future of the 76ers.

In the words, Anxi had great confidence in the 76ers making the playoffs, which made LeBron James interested, and asked Anxi several questions in a row.

"Why, why do you think the 76ers have a chance to make the playoffs? As far as I know, the 76ers have lost a lot of players this season. In terms of signings, except for you, there is no big deal."

Anxi looked at LeBron James, who was full of inquisitiveness, and he only said one sentence: "Is it okay with me?"

LeBron James fell silent immediately, he was speechless. On the one hand, he felt that Anxi was too confident, as if he was too confident, but on the other hand, he couldn't find the problem in Anxi's answer.

Indeed, just judging from the confrontation in the past few days, Anxi is definitely not the role player that the media said. In the new season, Anxi will definitely become an All-Star.

However, LeBron James still feels that the 76ers lineup is so bad that even if he goes to the 76ers, he will not have much confidence.

"As far as I know, the signings of the 76ers have not ended yet. Do you have any signings in the future?"

Anxi shook her head for this question: "I don't know."

He really didn't know that although Josh Harris gave him the right to sign in independently, this right has not been fulfilled, so during the offseason of this season, the 76ers' signings have nothing to do with Anxi.

"You don't know?" LeBron James was a little surprised.

Anxi nodded: "Yes, I don't know."

LeBron James has nothing to say. He thinks that Anxi is just confident and has nothing else to say, so he has nothing to ask. In his heart, he still doesn’t think the 76ers can make the playoffs because of a An All-Star can't make it to the playoffs with a team that looks so bad.

Unless it's a superstar...

But the current Anxi definitely does not have the strength of a superstar.

After this boring meal, Anxi stayed in Houston for another night, and then boarded a plane to Philadelphia early the next morning.

In the new house in Philadelphia, everything seemed so quiet and lonely. Abby was not here. When Anxi was in Houston for special training, she went to accompany her for a while, and then went to Phoenix to stay with her parents for a while , has not come back yet.

But in the afternoon, there was an extra living person in the villa, and Ivo Clark came. During the days of Anxi's special training, many things happened around Anxi.

For example, the Chinese men's basketball team was defeated in Manila. They actually lost to South Korea in the first game, ushering in a bad start.

He stumbled out of the group, and then lost to the **** team in the quarter-finals in an unprecedented way, causing a big upset. In the end, he could only rely on the final qualifying match, ranking fifth, Chuangya Championship low.

Such a record naturally caused an uproar in the country. Although they knew that Anxi was gone, no one would have thought that the men's basketball team would be so miserable after the Anxi was gone. Therefore, the domestic scolding war against the men's basketball team and the Basketball Association, All of a sudden it's on...

In addition to the defeat of the men's basketball team, there are also various mysterious signings of the 76ers.

The summer league signed a large number of fringe players in the league. After some drills, they gave training camp contracts to the best of these fringe players. The new season has not yet started, and the roster of the 76ers is full of strange names. ...

And Ivor Clark came here for these two things...
