I’m Really Playing Basketball

After Bynum's sudden emergence this season, even if this young center has been playing for a month, he is still recognized by the NBA as the first center in the future and the first center of the young generation.

Whether it's Howard or Oden or Milicic, someone who was once higher than him or equal to him, he has now stepped under his feet.

After all, this season he used to be fifth in the MVP rankings.

After O'Neal and Yao Ming, another center has reached such a top level.

Like many people say, Oden, Howard, Milicic, they want to achieve such an achievement, it may take three years, five years, ten years, or even a lifetime.

And Bynum was only 21 years old when he achieved this great achievement for a center forward.

So, what do others use to compete with Bynum for the future first center?

I have to say that this expert's statement is still very reasonable.

So before the start of the Houston-Toronto game, no matter how much Bynum looked down on Milicic, the rest of the crowd didn't think there was any problem.

Milicic in your area was so horribly exploded by Bynum before, now you want to turn over?

Stop dreaming, okay!

Therefore, in the face of such a public opinion environment, Milicic learned to be smart this time, and he did not come out to speak.

In the NBA where the winner is king and the loser is Kou, it is not important to say more.

After being frantically humiliated by Bynum last month, Milicic has worked madly for the past two months. This little brother who has given Nash a terrible headache seems to have matured in these two months.

Yes, Nash thought that Milicic might have really matured, because Milicic’s non-mainstream white hair has now been dyed back to black by him, and he also made it very elegant in the eyes of former Milicic. His long hair was cut into short heads.

You know, when Milicic was still immature, he was anxious with anyone who told him about the hair problem.

What's more, Milicic's changes this month are not just a problem with his hair, but his attitude towards basketball has also improved. I don't know how much.

Let's put it this way, this Milicic in the Raptors is a little different from the historical Milicic in the process of growing up.

The Raptors' Milicic was the darling when he came to the league. As the youngest 1000-pointer in NBA history, how can the Raptors have such a young talent in team history?

It can be said that in the Raptors, in Canada, Milicic is the real prince, everyone loves him, everyone spoils him, even the team’s boss Nash, even if you look at Milicic a lot of bad times, Don't say anything hard to Milicic, after all, Nash is also a gentle person.

After the arrival of the old Nelson last season, he was a little harsher.

However, everyone who knows the old Nelson knows that after the Webb incident, his personality has changed a lot, and for his favorite players, the old Nelson is also very doting now.

Does old Nelson love Milicic?

Of course love!

When Milicic participated in the draft, the old Nelson took the risk of being punished by the league and went to Europe to watch Milicic’s game in person. He even personally compiled a scout report for Milicic. The scout report probably means this: "The height of 2.16 meters, the weight of 111 kilograms, the left and right hand can shoot, the inside is extremely explosive, can serve multiple positions, good at possession, and even play point guard, outside three-pointer is very good Yes, the player model is a combination of Garnett and Nowitzki, and importantly, he is only 18 years old."

The 18-year-old Milicic was evaluated by the old Nelson as a combination of Garnett and Nowitzki. You know, Nowitzki is the son of the old Nelson. The old Nelson feels that Milicic’s future is more than just a promise. Wisky.

It can be seen that the old Nelson is optimistic about Milicic.

After coming to the Raptors, the old Nelson is indeed changing some of Milicic’s training situation, such as encouraging Milicic to reduce weight, lose weight and increase mobility, increase the area of ​​defense, increase the distance of shots, and increase interaction with Nash. More organization and passing.

It can be said that after the old Nelson came to the Raptors, he wanted to build Milicic into his ideal combination of Garnett and Nowitzki.

However, the effect has always been very limited. After all, when the old Nelson came, Milicic was already 22 years old. Although he was still young, he had already succeeded in the NBA. He already had his own set of fixed game modes and comfort. It’s hard to get out of the comfort zone without too much pressure for ordinary people.

Especially for a young genius like Milicic, it's even more difficult.

Now that I have a successful model, why should I risk changing to another model?

Although you said that this will make me stronger, Mr. Nelson, you should know how painful it is to lose weight, right?

Okay, this is of course, the old Nelson must know the pain of losing weight, so he gave up, not reducing, the chubby looks more kind.

For Nelson, Milicic loses weight, which is the key to his becoming a combination of Garnett and Nowitzki.

Milicic's athletic ability is very good, even if he is a little fat now, he can still run and jump.

However, if you want to reach the Garnett level, it is not enough. You need to reduce the weight. Lowering the weight will not only increase his running and jumping ability, but also reduce his physical energy consumption during the game. Only when the physical energy consumption during the game is reduced, can he play The offensive and defensive ends are everywhere, making more contributions.

But for the painstaking efforts of old Nelson, Milicic resisted from the beginning. Although the majesty of the old Nelson did not refuse, since he resisted, the effect is naturally not good.

For more than a year, Milicic has indeed followed the old Nelson to learn, but it is like Linghu Chong learning the evil swordsmanship, how awkward to look at it, the routines of the evil swordsmanship have been practiced, but there is no power.

As for the reason, of course, if you put yourself in the palace (weight loss), you will have power immediately!

After being humiliated like Bynum on November 26, 2008, 67 days have passed since now, February 3, 2009.

During these 67 days, I am afraid that no one knows how Milicic lived.

In addition to the players of the Raptors.

Why do you say that?

Because after being extremely humiliated by Bynum on November 26, Milicic seemed to fade out of public view after being ridiculed by the nation.

In these 60 days, Milicic seemed to have disappeared from the Raptors. In these 60 days, Milicic’s average playing time was less than 30 minutes per game, and his averaging data set a new low since his rookie season. .

Even after many people did not doubt their kindness to say some **** such as'Milicic has been abandoned','Milicic has been scrapped by Bynum' and so on, they no longer pay attention to what seems to have become a waste. Milicic.

And it's in this almost forgotten situation.

Milicic finally made up his mind and picked up the peerless secret book that old Nelson gave him again.

This time, he was no longer practicing the tactics of evil swordsmanship, but made up his mind to give himself to the palace!

Before Lin Pingzhi had a palace, he had already practiced the tactics of evil swordsmanship very well, and after he had a palace, he could take off immediately.

Of course, Milicic is definitely not as fast as Lin Pingzhi, after all, losing weight is not the same as being in the palace, not so fast.

In history, the most successful weight loss experience of NBA players is of course to count Nurkic, who is also on the inside in Europe, who lost a little more than 32 pounds in two months.

The second is Love, who lost 24 kilograms in a little over two months.

Although the effect of Love is not the best, because of his big name, it is the most obvious. A small fat man with a belly, who has not seen him for two months, has turned into a handsome man with a man's fishing line and vest line.

I have to say that the NBA's nutritionists and trainers are really amazing.

Of course, the player's own efforts are definitely also indispensable.

Whether it is to lose weight or gain weight, the most important thing is not the objective conditions of nutritionists and trainers. In the NBA, money is not a problem, and conditions are not a problem. The problem is the player's own initiative.

Everyone is a millionaire, a multi-millionaire, and can make money with ease. Why should I work hard?

Is he upset while lying down?

Even in the NBA, most NBA players want to lie down and make money.

If it weren't for the stimulation of Olajuwon Bynum, Milicic had the same idea.

I can lie down and hold the maximum salary and be loved by everyone. Why should I work hard?

I have to say that Bynum really stimulated Milicic, because Bynum is the little Olajuwon recognized throughout the NBA.

Milicic wanted to repay this deep hatred, so he could only cut himself off, because he could not defeat Bynum while lying down, and could only be humiliated by him again and again.

So the question is, what kind of player can beat Olajuwon?

David Robinson?

no!

O'Neill?

no!

Ewing?

Or not!

Garnett + Nowitzki?

May be!

For this perhaps possible goal, Milicic has really worked hard in the past two months.

Although he did not reach the weight loss goals of Nurkic and Love, in the past two months, Milicic still reduced his weight by 18 kilograms.

18 catties is really nothing compared to Nurkic’s 32 catties and Love’s 24 catties, but for Milicic himself, that is to get rid of the nine kilograms of pork that he has been carrying on his back.

This makes him now both running and jumping or defensive movement efficiency, have risen by a level.

You know, he was originally one of the NBA's best running and jumping big centers.

Now, it may be an exaggeration to say that he is Garnett second, and that he is little Garnett, there is absolutely no problem.

This is on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, after losing weight, Milicic’s offensive strength has also risen significantly.

After losing weight, he can clearly feel that his shooting has become more controlled by himself. If he used to be a spatial center, the space can only reach the free throw line area, then now, his space has reached. 3 points out.

So, now he really looks like Garnett + Nowitzki.

Of course, there are naturally problems after weight loss. For example, his weak back attack is now better.

It used to be able to defend against Yao Ming and other big centers' single defenses, but now it is estimated to be average.

But, is such a sacrifice worthwhile?

Of course it's worth it. He didn't have much offensive and backstrike ability, so he abandoned it.

As for defending big centers, let's put it this way. As a running team, if the Raptors are forced to win Milicic against Yao Ming in a positional battle, they have already failed.

The Raptors were killed by the Heat in the playoffs last season because they were caught in a battle with the Heat.

As a running team, it is more important for the center to run faster offensively than his defensive ability to top others!

No player can do everything.

In the eyes of old Nelson, Chen Xiao is perfect and strong enough, but his shortcoming is that he can't guard against Nash and Curry, these smart guards, but does this affect Chen Xiao's strength?

Choose and trade, as long as the gain is much greater than the loss, that is blood gain.

And now Milicic makes old Nelson feel that he is making money.

After Milicic worked hard to lose weight by 18 pounds, he had cultivated Milicic for nearly two years and finally saw the appearance of his dream center.

Originally, the perfect insider he had imagined in his dream was Webber.

Unexpectedly, it seemed that Milicic was about to fulfill his dream now.

Looking at the shocked gaze of Houston fans on the pitch, Milicic abused Bynum from the inside out, the old Nelson showed a smile on his face.

On the court, the Raptors center is ubiquitous on the defensive end, just like Garnett. It can control all areas of the entire three-point line in his own hands, as long as the opponent's offense appears slightly If you stop, you can help defend in place.

The new boss has become extremely sticky and his back-playing skills are inadequate. In this game, Bynum was either abruptly intercepted or capped.

On the court, the Raptors center, when attacking, facing Bynum's counter-defense, after receiving the ball, using his light footwork and excellent ball-handling skills, he can easily complete a breakthrough one-on-one, whether it is After a breakthrough, layups, dunks, kills, or a jump shot after a breakthrough, you can see the shadow of the Mavericks super power forward Nowitzki.

And when Bynum was driven mad by Milicic's breakthrough and wanted to keep shooting, Milicic's precise mid- and long-range shots without any hesitation caused Bynum's shot to be devastated.

"This person, is Milicic?"

Chen Xiao, who watched the game in front of the TV, was as shocked as the Houston fans at the scene.

At the end of the game, Toronto defeated Houston 111-99 away.

Milicic made 13 of 22, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 10 of 13 free throws, and scored 38 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 7 blocks in the game.

On the opposite side, Bynum was 3 of 15, 9 points, 15 rebounds and 6 turnovers.

A feast that was originally prepared for Bynum has become Milicic's performance stage.

This was not only shocked by the Houston fans, Chen Xiao, and experts, media, and reporters from across the United States.

Even after the game, Bynum and Milicic on the court were shocked by their performance in this game.

"This, it's really Milicic, why is he so strong?"

Bynum waited with his eyes, looking at the old opponent who was no longer a non-mainstream.

When he saw this old opponent before the game, he even contemptuously felt that he had been humiliated by himself before and couldn't think of XD, so he became so thin.

Because he and others have, and have never paid attention to Milicic, and even Bynum has not paid attention to basketball and the NBA during the month of his suspension.

With Bynum's character, during this month of suspension, will he take the initiative to train hard?

Then you must be thinking too much.

When Bynum stared at Milicic, Milicic, who had cut himself in pain, also stared at Bynum with wide eyes.

Before the game started, he wanted revenge, but he didn't think about revenge in this game.

Because he clearly knows that he still needs to work hard to defeat the little Olajuwon.

However, he hasn't worked harder yet, this little Olajuwon, just fell?

"That's it?"

"Just this is also worthy of being called Little Olajuwon?"

"How did he become such a dish now?"

The grievances must be reported ~www.NovelMTL.com~Milicic didn't feel the slightest happiness.

Thinking of the painful and difficult 67 days, Milicic even felt that God was making a joke with himself.

This painful 67 days like a nightmare is actually an illusion and does not exist.

February 3, 2009, this day is destined to be a day in the history of the NBA.

A superstar, even a super giant, his gorgeous balloon was punctured like this with a pop.

In the same way, an All-Star, no, even a superstar, suddenly rose up.

On this day, the whole city of Toronto cheered.

This night, Houston was heartbroken throughout the city.

At this moment, the nation is boiling.

"Wonder kid took Bynum to a height that was far from his!"
