Chapter 478 The Offseason Arms Race

Chapter 478 The Offseason Arms Race

Ying Xiong didn't really learn the technology for a long time at Dameng, but used it in practice, and then corrected and corrected it.The footsteps of back body technique seem simple and not complicated, but it is not easy to master it.

Dameng Xiangxiong's understanding is still very satisfied, he didn't expect this Asian kid to be so smart.

During the period of studying with Dameng, Ying Xiong not only learned the back-up technique and footwork, but also learned a lot of inside player skills and some defensive skills from Dameng (Dameng was a very good defensive player when he was young. players).Although he won't really play a center forward, sometimes he has to switch to defend the opponent's inside line on the court and learn more inside skills, which is not a bad thing after all.

Dameng also appreciates Ying Xiong's eagerness to learn, and teaches him all his skills, selflessly teaching him his skills.

Ying Xiong studied with Dameng for two weeks, which was a successful conclusion.After finishing the course, Ying Xiong also gave Dameng a Rolex watch as a thank you gift.

Dameng collects tuition fees and gifts at Yingxiong's place, so he appreciates and likes this Chinese player even more.

The reason why Ying Xiong wanted to give Dameng a gift was firstly to thank the other party for selflessly teaching him his skills, and secondly, building a good relationship with such celebrities would at least not do any harm to his future development in the league.

After finishing the special training for Big Dream, Ying Xiong invited his NBA friends Korver, Tyson Chandler and teammate DeRozan to train in Los Angeles.

Ying Xiong has practiced Wu Qin Xi more frequently recently.Since the impact of physical fitness in the playoffs caused him to regret losing, he has paid more attention to Wu Qinxi, hoping to take this opportunity to improve his physical fitness.

During this training, Ying Xiong never stopped practicing 3-pointers.In the current league where 3-point shots are becoming more and more important, an outside star does not have a stable 3-point ability and is easily targeted by opponents.For this, his teammate DeRozan has the most say.

Although DeRozan is not yet a star, he is also a star of hope who averages more than 15 points per game, but his 3-point shooting ability can be described as horrible.Taking this opportunity to let him practice how to shoot 3-pointers with the league's top shooter Korver is an important aspect for him to improve next season.

Strength training made Ying Xiong's confrontation even better.He couldn't gain weight, because it would be good for strength and confrontation, but it would also make him lose speed.His greatest advantage is not strength, but speed, and sacrificing speed for the sake of strength is not such a wise choice.

Ying Xiong has benefited a lot from the training of special forces trainers.The core strength training made him obviously feel that he has improved his body control. Now he can be fast or slow. Even if he is violated by the opponent during the fast break, he will not easily deform his movements and lose his center of gravity as before.Of course, what makes him feel different the most is the back-up technique.The back-up technique learned from Dameng, he is polishing every day and improving every day.The more he practiced, the more he could appreciate the power of this technique.Dameng is really an incomparable genius. This kind of post-back technique, as long as any insider with good physical fitness can master it proficiently, it is enough to kill the Quartet in the NBA.

The special training made Ying Xiong feel very fulfilled. Even if there is no obvious improvement every day, as long as he can improve a little, over time, he can improve a little.For a star of his level, it would be terrifying to improve.What kind of appearance he will appear in front of the fans next season, for him, it will definitely be different from last season.Because the failure of the series made him work harder, and the sweat of a summer allowed him to continue to improve.

Yingxiong is training in full swing, and all NBA teams are preparing for the new season in full swing during the offseason.The Raptors are naturally a relatively busy team during the offseason. This team was still competing for the No. [-] pick before last season. Due to Yingxiong's sudden birth, they immediately entered the championship team after one season .For a team in a small market, the opening of the window to win the championship is a dream. Naturally, they must strive to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and build a stronger lineup around Ying Xiong.

Lithuanian center Valanciunas, the rookie selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft, will land in the NBA. This is naturally a good thing for the Raptors, which are weak inside.The No. 5 pick center Bargnani will come back next season, and the team's internal strength will be significantly improved compared with last season.

The scene where Yingxiong was consumed by the Heat last season is still vivid. Calderon is a qualified point guard, but his personal offensive power is too weak to tear the opponent's defense through his personal ability. The team lacks a qualified second guard. The disadvantages of golfers are on display.For this reason, the Raptors began to look for No. 2 players with personal ball-handling attack ability and organizational ability in the market.

The Raptors set their sights on this summer's free agents. Trading requires bargaining chips, and signing free agents does not require much price, as long as there is salary space.At present, they only have Yingxiong, a star with a level of tens of millions, and they have enough salary space to sign free agents above the middle class.After becoming a free agent, they set their sights on Jeremy Lin, the "Linsanity" who shocked the league last season.

Jeremy Lin's contract expired in the summer. He played an amazing personal performance last season, which attracted the attention of many teams in the league.Many teams that want to strengthen the No. 1 position have the idea of ​​playing him, but what kind of contract to sign him is a problem. The general managers of several NBA teams believe that Jeremy Lin is only worth the middle class. His performance last season benefited from D’Antoni’s system. Ball, is a very good No. 1 position.

Among the many competing teams, those teams without cap space are naturally out early.It is impossible for Jeremy Lin to sign a basic salary contract with them.Not to mention that although he is currently a free agent, but a restricted free agent, the Knicks can match the offers made by other teams.

In addition to the Raptors, the Houston Rockets are pursuing Jeremy Lin very fiercely.Since Yao Ming retired, the Rockets have been looking for a player with a Chinese background.During the offseason of last season, they actively pursued Yingxiong, but they failed in the end.This summer, they are very confident that they will win Jeremy Lin with a contract that the Knicks dare not match.
