Chapter 467

Kobe thought that Xu Tian might agree with Magic Johnson, but he was still a little unhappy to hear him say it out of his mouth, but he couldn't influence Xu Tian's playing style.This is what he discovered last summer.

George was dissatisfied with his offensive performance last night. Seeing Kobe standing on the training ground, he walked over and said, "Kobe, are you free? I want to ask for some more tips on attacking with the ball."

Kobe knew that George really needed some help, so after greeting Xu Tian and Magic Johnson, he went to train him on offensive skills.

Seeing Kobe walking away, Magic Johnson said to Xu Tian: "Xu, you don't need to be too concerned about other people's opinions and suggestions. I think you should stick to being yourself."

Xu Tian thanked Magic Johnson for his suggestion, then ended the conversation and went to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's teaching venue to watch his special training for several inside players.

Tyson Chandler, McGee, Blake, Thackeray, Nance Jr., and Josh Smith were divided into groups of two and took turns practicing the skyhook technique.Abdul-Jabbar watched from the sidelines, pointing out from time to time what they didn't do well.

Xu Tian carefully observed each player's technical movements to see if there was anything worth learning.

Kareem saw Xu Tian who was standing and watching the practice, and asked, "Xu, do you want to learn the authentic sky hook?"

Xu Tian never thought that he was a player with perfect skills, and he wanted to grasp every opportunity for improvement. He said, "There are so many skills that you don't overwhelm yourself, and you really want to learn."

Abdul-Jabbar let McGee, who was the best in practice, rest for a while, divided Xu Tian into the group of Tyson Chandler and McGee, and immediately began to try the skyhook.

Xu Tian had watched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's game videos and skyhook highlights, and studied this offensive technique in private. He supported Tyson Chandler with his body, stretched his right arm as far as possible, and avoided his block. Basket shot.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and entered the net hollowly, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar interrupted Xu Tian's next attack attempt.

Abdul-Jabbar held the basketball, straightened his right arm, and performed a standard demonstration of a skyhook. At the same time, he said to Xu Tian: "Xu, the skyhook is an unsolvable offensive technique, but it is more suitable for inside players. To use this technique in the playoffs, it must be used when playing against Kawhi Leonard. Otherwise, depending on the strength of the Spurs' defense against you, your skyhook can easily be defended Cover."

Xu Tian never concealed his desire for new technology, and said, "Karim, can you demonstrate the authentic Skyhook?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gave an affirmative answer, carrying Tyson Chandler with his body, straightening his right arm, coupled with his height and bounce, the ball came to a height that was basically impossible for defensive players to touch.The basketball was thrown lightly by the right hand and went hollow into the net.

Seeing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar using a skyhook, Xu Tian took the initiative to ask Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to make another technical move, and then let him defend.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar liked the studious Xu Tian very much, and asked the assistant coach to pass the ball to him, and played Xu Tian in a low post.

Xu Tian is much taller than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, resisting his lower body and trying to restrict him.Due to Kareem's advanced age, he did not apply confrontation.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't make any fancy moves. He jumped up on the spot, straightened his right arm, and shot the sky hook directly at a position that Xu Tian couldn't touch.Fame stunt, undefendable!

Xu Tian couldn't think of any way to defend this technique. He could only secretly rejoice that there is no dominant inside player like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in today's league, otherwise it would be really difficult to play.

Abdul-Jabbar heard that Magic Johnson praised Xu Tian's learning ability, and asked the shooting coach to help Xu Tian train a skyhook.

Tracy Murray did not have Xu Tiangao, and also adopted the most basic top defense, trying to limit Xu Tian.

Xu Tian played back Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's shot just now in his mind, jumped sideways, and completed the skyhook almost exactly the same.His touch is not much better than that of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and it is also a hollow hit.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used to not believe that Xu Tian's learning ability had reached the top in history, but now he saw it with his own eyes, and he was also a little shocked.With his talent, no matter what age he was in, he could flourish.

Magician Johnson saw Xu Tian's sky hook twice, and was impressed by his learning ability again.He didn't expect that Xu Tian would be able to do the movements intact after only seeing them twice.Feeling a bit itch for a while, I walked to the place where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar trained players.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar saw his old teammates and said, "You are right. Xu's learning ability is rare in the world."

Magic Johnson laughed: "I agree with you on this point."

Jabbar asked: "Xu is in the same position as you, don't you have anything to teach him?"

Magic Johnson said: "Xu's passing skills are not worse than mine, and his vision is quite good. Maybe I have nothing to teach him."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has sky hooks, has also practiced yoga, and practiced martial arts with Bruce Lee for a period of time. He is not very satisfied with Magic Johnson's idea. He said: "Everyone in the world needs to keep learning, even if only learning other things. You can become even better with a little bit of goodness. You are the number one point guard in history, if you can’t teach him, who can teach him?”

Magic Johnson was very happy to be told by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the number one point guard in history, and smiled with two rows of white teeth: "Then I will try and see if I can find the feeling of the past." It is not so easy to make the kind of technical moves back then.

Xu Tian needed to observe, so he temporarily stood on the sidelines to watch the demonstration of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Byron Scott also joined them.The three were Lakers teammates during SHOWTIME. Even after many years, there is still an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Xu Tian, ​​Kobe, and George stood by the court, watching the demonstration of the three veteran players who were already a little bit fat, but they didn't speak.They carefully watch every technical action and the route of running positions, trying to learn more.

The rest of the Lakers players are even more unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity, wishing to have more eyes and not wanting to miss any details.There is a high probability that they will not play for the Lakers all the time in their careers. How can they not take advantage of the opportunity to see the skills of historical stars up close.

At the Lakers training ground, they unexpectedly played retro and advanced basketball.

Magic Johnson does have a talent far beyond ordinary people. Under the non-confrontation defense of the coaching staff, just like when he was young, he continuously passes the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Scott in various unimaginable and pleasing ways. .

Xu Tian saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook and Magic Johnson's no-look pass on the spot. The feeling was very different from that in the video. The shocking feeling alone could never be fully conveyed by the images on the screen.
