Chapter 60 The Power of Big Dream
In front of the bench, Colangelo saw Barkley and four other players appearing together, which normally wouldn't happen, so he quickly went over and asked .
"There's a little trouble..."
Barkley signaled Wang Tiejun and the other three to warm up first, and he briefly recounted what had just happened.
Colangelo scratched his head and felt that there would have been a lot of trouble like this in the past because racial discrimination was so common in the United States.
Especially in an environment like the NBA, it's full of muscular guys with overflowing hormones. They are arrogant and unwilling to submit to anyone else. There is too much racial discrimination and violence.
"You know, just now in the player tunnel, Crazy Max provoked Old K, and Old K slapped him."
After Kevin Johnson heard the news, he immediately spread it to all the Suns staff. Then no one knew who these staff members passed it to.
The Mosaic team also noticed something was wrong, because there was obviously something wrong with Mad Max's condition, and there was blood on his mouth.
Head coach Rudy Tomjanovich quickly asked about the situation and learned about the experience from Dream. He looked back in surprise at Wang Tiejun who was warming up.
As a head coach aiming for the championship, he knew Wang Tiejun, the first Chinese NBA player, and also knew about Wang Tiejun's reputation for violence, but he didn't expect that the violence would start off the court before the game even started.
"Be careful, don't mess around on the court. We are playing, not fighting. We are not the Pistons and Knicks. Of course, we are not the Suns either."
He gave a warning and added: "No matter who you are, be careful when speaking. No matter what skin color you are, you should not be discriminated against."
"OK."
Da Meng and his teammates nodded, walked onto the court with anger and depression in their hearts, and began to warm up.
At this time, the Mosaic team's mascot, Mosaic Bear, walked onto the court. It actually walked up to Wang Tiejun, waved its two big fists, and made boxing gestures at him.
"Ha ha……"
The home fans burst into laughter.
"Will you please go away? Well, if you don't want to go away, then I'll spank you."
Comrade Lao Wang pushed the bear away, but the bear came closer again and he joined in the fun. He pushed the bear down and slapped it on the butt, bang bang bang, enjoying himself.
"Ha ha……"
To the stunned eyes of all the fans, Barkley and others ran over with a laugh and started spanking the bear.
The bear couldn't bear the beating anymore. He could neither run away nor get up, so he had to surrender, saying he didn't want to play anymore and begged to be let go.
"Hey, there's a mission today!"
After warming up, he sat back on the bench and the system suddenly opened in front of him. There was a new prompt, which made him very happy.
Because the system does not have many tasks, and generally some points will be automatically awarded after completing certain achievements, this surprised him a little.
"If the host hits five close-range hook shots over Olajuwon, he will get a 50-point reward. If the host scores 20+10 over Olajuwon, he will get a low-post training card."
"A 200-point low-post training card?"
His eyes lit up, this was his great weakness.
Two years ago, he was not what he is now. Because he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he was just 210 cm tall at that time. He was more flexible than he is now, his jumping ability was a little better than it is now, and he could also fly low.
However, he was imprisoned during the most critical years of his physical growth. It was during that year that he grew 5 cm taller in prison and became thicker. At the same time, due to the lack of professional strength training and the delay in martial arts training, his athletic ability fell behind and he could not keep up.
After being released from prison and coming to the United States, he did several months of heavy physical work, which increased his physical fitness and strength, but his athletic qualities declined again.
Simply put, it has become slower and dumber.
The direction of development of sports competition is faster, higher and stronger, but he has done the exact opposite in the past two years.
"System, if I don't improve my speed and coordination, will it be useful to just practice my steps?" he asked quickly in his mind.
"It has a certain effect, but ultimately you still need to improve other athletic qualities to go further. I suggest that the host redeem a skill synthesis card, which can be combined with the relevant steps in the host's martial arts skills. It can directly improve the host's low-level step level, which is more effective than the step training card." said the system.
"System brother, of course a card with 1,000 points is more effective than a card with 200 points, and it's five times more expensive." He couldn't help but vomit.
I have practiced many types of boxing, I practiced this one and that one, but except for Tieshankao, I haven't practiced the others very well. And I mainly practiced them when I was a teenager. Later I played basketball, and my boxing skills are not at a high level.
In addition, the martial arts statistics of the system did not list the footwork separately, so he asked: "System, what is the level of my martial arts footwork?"
"The footwork follows the level of the corresponding boxing method." said the system.
"Understood."
In this way, the level of his footwork was also clarified.
He has just started learning the Plum Blossom Step, has just begun to learn the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Step, has made some progress in the Three Talents Step and the Bear Step, and has not even entered the door of the more profound Ten Sided Ambush Step. His level is not high. Except for the Iron Mountain Backstroke, he has not practiced other boxing techniques since junior high school, and has mainly practiced basketball. How much improvement can he achieve after combining these steps?
However, he also has a footwork technique that is at a very high level and has reached the level of perfection, and that is the bear step in Bajiquan.
Bear Step is one of the basic skills of Bajiquan, the other one is Tiger Arm. The reason why his Bear Step has reached a very high level is that Bear Step is an essential step to match Iron Mountain Backbone.
Footwork is very important. There is an old saying in the martial arts world: if you teach boxing but not footwork, you will be beaten by your master. Therefore, if you go to a traditional martial arts school to learn boxing, the master will not teach you the true essence of footwork.
I will teach you and let you copy, but I will not teach you the details of how to practice, nor will I teach you how to exert force. You have to rely on your own understanding. If you don't understand, you won't be able to practice it even if you break your legs. His achievements in footwork were average before, and now they are even worse.
"Can I use my bear steps in basketball?" he wondered.
…
The competition begins at eight o'clock sharp.
Wang Tiejun and Daming stood in the center circle, ready for a jump ball.
He was very clear about this contradiction. Dameng was only as tall as his eyebrows and was indeed much shorter than him.
At this time, the referee threw the ball up, and when the ball reached the top, he jumped immediately, but at this moment, Dameng jumped over him half a head faster.
"So fast!"
It is obvious that Dream's bullet speed exceeds his.
However, his advantages in arm span and height were reflected at this time. Dream's arm span is 220 cm, 10 cm less than his. Combined with his height, it is enough to offset Dream's advantage in jumping speed.
"Snapped!"
They both hit the ball at the same time and it bounced up.
The two of them landed at the same time and got up again.
This time, Da Meng's strong athletic quality was truly demonstrated. His second jump speed was obviously faster than Wang Tiejun. He popped out and took the ball away first.
"I won't compete with him in bullet speed. My strong point is strength." Comrade Lao Wang comforted himself and quickly retreated.
Dream entered the paint area, and Wang Tiejun blocked him. He suddenly performed one of his classic moves, swinging left and right, which immediately shook the center of gravity of the former, and then turned right and entered the basket.
"so close!"
Wang Tiejun's feet staggered and he almost fell.
At this time, point guard Kenny Smith made a lob and the ball flew towards the basket.
"boom!"
Dream jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand, pressed forward, and slammed the ball with a powerful alley-oop, which set off the Compaq Center.
"Beautiful! Da Meng teased Lao K perfectly. Under the dreamy footwork, the Chinese coolie was as clumsy as a big wooden stake."
The on-site commentator shouted excitedly.
"The dog is so strong!"
Wang Tiejun was quite shocked. A big guy who was probably 210 cm tall played a fake dribble in front of him that only a guard could do and almost knocked him down. Is this a super center?
"Forget it. I won't compete with him in agility. My strength is my strength."
He was a little scared. Although he had prepared himself mentally to be knocked down, he didn't want to be knocked down at the beginning. If he had been knocked down just now, he would have lost face.
"Rookie, do you want me to introduce you to a tailor? I think you may need him tonight. He can help you sew up your broken ankle."
At this time, Dameng returned to defense, ran together with Wang Tiejun, and started talking trash at him.
"I'm in."
Comrade Lao Wang was very angry. I hate trash talk.
"Coward, I told you that you would go around me. See, was I right?" He immediately retorted with a specious argument.
Is this what you call "circling you"? Dream was almost mad and responded, "Perverted rookie, I'm worried about your basketball IQ. It's going to go bankrupt."
