Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 472 Besides talent, what else do you have?

"Tang, I'm serious, you shouldn't teach him like this."

Jordan's tone and expression were very serious.

Over the years, I've learned a lot from myself.

You could even say that those kids who play ball were introduced to the sport by watching highlights of their own games.

But none of them actually succeeded.

There are only a few who can imitate him well, like Kobe.

Learning is fine, as technology is universal, and we should learn from the strong.

But you can't completely imitate it.

For example, Kobe also liked to catch the ball with one hand and put it behind his back.

He dares to say he wasn't learning from himself?

Jordan felt this was really bad, it was a bit like over-studying.

"Every player is different, so you should learn the corresponding techniques based on your own physical characteristics," Jordan commented.

Technology is the key.

But catching the ball in fancy ways is called showing off.

Before Tang Sen could speak, Bird chuckled and teased, "Michael, how come I didn't know you had any skills?"

His eyes were filled with disdain.

I hate playing with bastards who have abnormal physical talent but always boast that they rely on skill.

Your one-handed catch, your casual mid-air hand switch, you're telling me with wide eyes, that's what you call skill?
Bird's expression and tone amused Tang Sen, who also teased, "Larry, how can Michael not have skills? You know, he doesn't even travel in the dunk contest."

What excellent basic skills!

Jordan rolled his eyes and didn't want to say anything.

No sooner had he finished speaking than gasps and exclamations erupted from the audience.

However, Harris intercepted and poked the ball away from Hinrich, and Posey reacted quickly, reaching out to flick the ball forward.

Durant charged forward first, grabbed the ball, and there was nothing else in his way.

Despite his height, he has a long stride and is extremely fast.

This is thanks to his rigorous leg training, which makes his explosive power in every step extremely amazing.

The rhythm was excellent, without the sluggishness often associated with big men dribbling.

Crawford was fast, but he still couldn't catch up with him.

Once he picked up speed, he leaped into the free-throw line and jumped.

With a muffled thud, the scene fell silent for a moment, then immediately erupted into a frenzy.

Heat bench players including Mourning sat bolt upright in shock, clutching their heads in disbelief.

Riley Morning, standing on the sidelines, shuddered.

With that kind of athleticism, explosive jumping ability, and speed, he's practically superhuman.

"KD!"

The stands erupted in cheers.

That was practically a free-throw line dunk, showcasing Durant's physical prowess to the fullest.

"He's 18! He just turned 18! And you're telling me he can dunk like that?"

Inside the TNT studio, Barkley's loud questioning echoed.

I know you're the next Jordan, but you really don't need to try to replicate every one of Jordan's best moments like this.

At the scene, Bird shook his head, saying, "Boring, so boring."

At 2.08 meters tall, this is ridiculous! It's like they're leaving no room for anyone else to compete.

Besides physical fitness, what else do you have?
Durant on the court provided the answer, along with his skills.

In the next offensive possession, Milicic will set a screen.

It's impossible to rely on O'Neal for pick-and-rolls.

But the Heat have Milicic.

He was tall enough and fast enough that he was once touted as the next Garnett because of his agility and quickness.

Having trained at the Townsend training camp, his current playing style is somewhat similar to Garnett's.

Offense relies on jump shots, defense relies on help defense.

Previously, the Heat's defense relied on Haslem to hold the fort in the paint and Milicic to sweep the mid-range.

He can also provide excellent pick-and-rolls, and after the pick-and-roll, he has a layup to his left and a jump shot from the outside. With a high pick-and-roll, Durant shakes off Wallace and drives straight to the basket.

Facing Eddie Curry's help defense, he made a Eurostep-like change of direction towards the baseline while moving, elegantly avoiding the little shark, and then jumped and launched a shot.

With a slight flick of the wrist, the basketball went into the basket with pinpoint accuracy.

Kevin Durant, who started his skills with the low-post hook shot, is proficient in various finishing techniques.

6 points.

Less than four minutes into the game, he made all three of his shots, scoring six of the team's eight points.

Such a performance is enough to refute those who questioned his youth, lack of professional experience, and potential discomfort.

Riley on the sidelines was completely relieved.

That's right, Tangsen's products are still top-notch.

He shouted a few times from the sidelines, signaling for Durant to play more.

There is only one main character today.

Before the game, Riley had already planned that if Durant's performance was below expectations, he would let Durant play less, and he could explain it later by saying that Durant needed more time to adapt.

But with this kind of performance, there's no point in trying to adapt. Just give them possession and let them play freely.

And it's a good opportunity to test Durant's limits.

It's still a singles match.

Change direction, pause, change direction again.

Each change of direction was incredibly large.

It also contains awkward pauses and rhythmic changes.

With his amazing coordination, he achieved a perfect combination of speed and slowness, giving Wallace the feeling of facing McGrady or Kobe.

He has defended the league’s best scorers and was the Knicks’ most relied-upon wing defender during their championship dynasty.

He was mentally prepared before the game, knowing that Durant was a tough opponent.

After all, he was a genius handpicked by Tang Sen and personally trained by him.

How did I train and earn my multi-million dollar annual salary? It was all thanks to Tang Sen.

Therefore, Wallace would not question Tangsen's abilities.

But he also thought that since it was produced by Tang Sen, they were all learning the same things.

How did McGrady play, and how did Kobe play? They were taught by the same mentor; it's all about rhythm.

But when he actually faced Durant, Wallace realized that the same thing could have very different effects depending on who used it.

A breakthrough that incorporates changes in rhythm, combining fast and slow movements, is inherently the most difficult situation to defend against.

Durant, on the other hand, with his change of direction, seems to be able to take a two-meter leap.

Allen Iverson's crossover dribble is one of the most unstoppable moves in the league, relying on his explosive power and speed.

Durant, on the other hand, relies solely on his long legs.

Therefore, even though he was mentally prepared, Wallace was still taken aback.

With a swish, Durant made another jump shot.

On the sidelines, Bulls head coach Scott Skiles complained to Wallace and pointed to the scoreboard.

Look at the scores, we're behind.

Wallace didn't argue, nor could he argue, and he even wanted to say, "Here's the ball, you do it yourself."

With that in mind, Wallace still decided to return one.

He reached out and asked for the ball.

Wallace's one-on-one game relies more on his explosive physical abilities. He dribbles hard, makes physical contact, bumps the ball with his shoulder and waist, then pulls back instantly and takes a step back to shoot.

Surprisingly, the impact didn't break the barrier.

Durant, who is both thin and tall, has an unusually robust build.

Moreover, when defending, they even actively seek out confrontations, and after the confrontation, they rush in aggressively.

His jump was so powerful it blotted out the sky; you couldn't even see his knees bend as he leaped up.

He stretched out his finger and poked the basketball.

He changed direction on the basketball and shot an airball.

A brilliant block.

Bird, watching from the sidelines, grinned and grabbed Tang Sen, pointing at the court and expressing his boredom with his eyes.
