Chapter 242： Evolve again!

Who would have thought that Zuo Li's dinner in Los Angeles would be eaten with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Fried steak with bacon sauce, half pasta, five eggs and 14 kinds of vegetables and fruits in a salad without salad dressing, this is Zuoli and Kareem's lunch.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can play until the age of 40 and maintain a high level. At the age of 39, he can still be selected to the All-NBA first team and set the record for the oldest team. At the age of 38, he can also play a double-double of 26 points and 14 rebounds in a single game in the finals. There is a reason why the 37-year-old can still play 30+17+8 in a single game in the finals and blow up the Green Army interior line composed of Hall of Famers Parish and McHale.

Year-round self-disciplined diet has kept him in a slim figure, and fat has never existed for him.

Don't underestimate the influence of weight on a player, especially big men. How many people are ruined by obesity caused by lack of self-discipline. For example, Rain Man Camp, even if you are very self-disciplined, you will suffer because your weight is greater than your body's capacity. Suffering devastating injuries, such as Dayao.

In terms of controlling weight and reducing unnecessary injuries, the whole league has to call Kareem a big brother. In that era when sports medicine was not so developed, and sports equipment, especially sneakers, had not yet added stunts, his ankles 16 consecutive times. He's been injury-free all season and is one of the few ankles in the league that isn't bound by duct tape or high-top sneakers.

In fact, throughout his career, Abdul-Jabbar had no major injuries except for breaking his arm twice.

Magic Johnson once said: "When I was 38 years old, I couldn't compete on the court like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. There may not be a second player like him. He is the most perfect athlete in many sports."

There is nothing wrong with this, except for Chamberlain and Ao Chuan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's physical fitness is really worth it.

And Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is almost uninjured, he can still participate in the diving competition at the age of 60, and when Chamberlain was 60 years old...

As for the reason, then I have to mention the story of 'Zhang 20,000'...

At the dinner table, Abdul-Jabbar did not hesitate to impart his experience to Zuo Li. According to Abdul-Jabbar, "How much you can play on the court depends on how much work you do off the court."

"It's not just the training ground. Physical maintenance, diet, and sleep are all equally important. After all, no matter how talented you are, you will never want injuries to find you."

Zuo Li took it seriously. After all, he fell into an injury in the last life, so that even if the body is greatly strengthened by the system explosion in this life, the physical fitness will become better, the muscle strength and the toughness of the ligaments will become stronger. , but Zuoli also always puts maintenance in a very important position.

After dinner, Abdul-Jabbar took Zuo Li to his private arena. This arena was built entirely according to Abdul-Jabbar's personal preferences. The most eye-catching thing in the arena was the wall of honor, not to mention anything else. , 6 championship trophies and 6 regular season MVPs are enough to be envied.

There is a word circulating in the market, only talking about personal honor, I am afraid Jordan will give Kareem three points.

After a brief look around, Zuo Li became interested in mansions for the first time. Zuo Li still lives in the free Knicks player apartment. According to Zuo Li's idea, it is close to the arena and convenient for life.

but now…

Zuo Li thinks it would be great to have a mansion where you can put down your personal tube!

After the simple visit, Zuo Li also cherishes the time very much. After all, it is not the off-season. He also invited Ao Mei for dinner in the evening, so he started directly.

This time, Zuo Li also did his homework. Apart from the well-known 'Sky Hook', Kareem is actually known for his balance.

In addition to occupying the first position in the scoring list, he is also third in the rebounding list, second only to Chamberlain and Russell, the two ancient beasts. Ranked 40th on the assists list with 5,660 assists and 95th with 1,160 steals.

This kind of comprehensive ability is not possessed by the vast majority of centers. It is plug and play and can be competent for various roles in the interior. This is the ability of Abdul-Jabbar.

This time, Zuo Li focused on asking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about blocking. An excellent inside player with a huge defensive area is of great help to the team.

Zuo Li is currently the league's top shot blocker, averaging 3.8 shots per game, but this is a pure talent. According to Zuo Li's wingspan, height and bounce, his blocking ability should have been stronger.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also imparted his experience without reservation. It is hard to believe that Bynum would refuse Kareem's individual guidance. Isn't this more fun than being a haircut?

Except for the hair done by Sister Xiaolu.

"Your physical condition is born to block shots. Your wingspan is terrifying. At the same time, you have such a good jumping ability and fast speed. Playing streetball before has trained your reflexes, so you blocked shots. No, it's completely inexperienced," Kareem said after watching Zuoli's movements a few times.

Zuo Li nodded. After all, he was only 160 in his previous life. At this height, he could only hope to block caps in elementary school. It was really difficult for him in the professional field.

"Timing! Reaction! Anticipation!" said Abdul-Jabbar: "Make full use of your physical fitness, and at the same time, learn to read your opponent. If you can predict what he will do next, the chances of blocking shots will be greatly increased. ."

"Come on, let's try a few!" Kareem also itchy hands.

Dodging and moving, Zuoli also began to pay attention to Kareem's movement, and then seized the opportunity to jump up!

Showed off by Kareem's hook...

"Please, this is too foul." Zuo Li pouted, with such a large hook range, he needs a wingspan of 280 to touch it.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, what are you fighting with an old man like me, who else would hook like this except me, so you have already blocked 90% of the ball just now. You did a good job, you are very smart, Much better than that stupid big guy from the Lakers." Kareem is also a vengeful person.

"That's true." Zuo Li nodded.

At the same time, what Zuo Li thought was that sooner or later, he would learn this skill from you!

Next, Zuo Li also asked about movement and pick-and-roll. The pick-and-roll between Johnson and Kareem was also famous for a while.

In the end, the hook is what he can't get rid of. Zuo Li rarely ends his offense with a hook, which is one of the shortcomings of his offense.

"Generally, you only need to determine three angles for shooting The angles of the eyes, the ball and the basket are all determined, but the hook is different from ordinary shooting, and many people can't grasp its balance point. Magician Johnson asked me to demonstrate to him many times, but he still didn't master it. This shot is like Zen, you have to calm your mind so that the target will melt into the body." Abdul-Jabbar took the ball and began to demonstrate.

Zuo Li kept nodding dazedly, darling, you even know Zen Buddhism, you deserve to be the guy who made movies with Bruce Lee.

But after learning it, Kareem was stunned.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't think Zuo Li could learn it quickly, but after a few trials, Zuo Li's small hook became more like it. Basically, a point guard in the penalty area maintained an 80% hit rate. hours!

"God, you are unbelievable." Kareem began to understand how the goat felt.

So he taught more vigorously, and if it goes on like this, it is not impossible for the sky hook to reappear!

So until 7 pm, the two people reluctantly ended the day's training.
