On November 23, the Nets arrived in Boston, the city where their opponents were in the third game of the fourth consecutive away game.

At 1 pm, the visiting team training ground at North Shore Garden Arena.

Jason Williams asked with an upset look: "What are you doing here? I don't know how to shoot, and you are not a guard when practicing pick-and-roll."

While helping Edwards and the trainer prepare the ball basket, Zhang Hao replied: "Anyway, there is nothing fun to go out in this place. Let's practice rebounding together."

Jason Williams is usually too idle except for team training, and he is always idle when he is pretentious - no matter whether it is like this or not, Zhang Hao thinks so.

If you work in the game, even if you lose, you will always learn something. It may be useful or useless, but it is always right to watch, listen, and think more.

When he was replaced and rested with the Knicks, Zhang Hao heard Randy Whitman praise Alwan Adams for Ewing's good rebounding protection. At first, Zhang Hao didn't understand that Ewing's rebounding can be considered the worst among the four centers. It's not that it's so bad, but that when evaluating a star, he always evaluates his position. Ewing should be put into the ranks of the top centers in rebounding.

After noticing the coach's conversation, Zhang Hao focused on this point and saw that although Ewing was not the top rebounder, he did a very good job of getting a position, creating a very good chance of getting a rebound for Anthony Mason and Oakley. Combined with Ewing's own first-class rebounding ability, the three of them snatched Jason Williams, a rebounder who was in the top spot in the league.

Last night, I met the pretentious Jason Williams. Zhang Hao really didn't expect that this teammate with a rather weird personality would have this side.

Regardless of whether Jason Williams was idle or not, Zhang Hao thought he was idle.

Before the start of the season, Jason Williams also had strength training to build muscles, but after the start of the season, in order to ensure health and physical fitness, this training has ended. In addition to team training, Zhang Hao rarely sees Jason Williams come to the stadium for training.

When reviewing the game last night, Zhang Hao decided to strengthen his ability to grab rebounds. This must be used in every game. As an inside player, he must practice well.

Since Jason Williams is so idle that he has time to be pretentious, he naturally has to find something for his teammate.

But facing Zhang Hao's training invitation, Jason Williams directly refused: "I'm so strong in rebounding, what's the point of practicing?"

Zhang Hao even more directly: "You lost to Ewing for rebound yesterday."

Speaking of this, Jason Williams was furious: "That's not me who lost! It was them who dealt with me! It's not that you blamed you for the difference in rebounds. You only grabbed those rebounds when I was blocked by two people."

"Yes, my rebounding is too bad.

So I'll practice with you too. You teach me how to grab rebounds. I've become more powerful. Wouldn't you be more relaxed?"

Zhang Hao's answer was very reasonable.

Jason Williams thought about it, it seems that this is the case, this is the reason... No, why should I help this guy train?

"Hurry up, Kevin trains three-pointers, we two grab rebounds!"

"Wait, when did I promise to train with you?"

"Don't care about these details..."

He said no, Jason Williams' body was still very honest.

Edwards made a three-pointer and made a blacksmith. Jason Williams turned around roughly to Zhang Hao and accurately judged the landing point of the rebound. When the confrontation was not advantageous, he first used the seemingly rough confrontation to lure Zhang Hao to fight, and then came to the landing point of the rebounding point and grabbed the ball.

Without other interference factors, Zhang Hao's rebound was completely defeated by Jason Williams!

Chris Irving picked up the ball and sent it to Edwards who was running along the three-point line. Edwards continued to take action...

Edwards made 100 three-pointers in a group, making 78 of 100 shots. The first group that just finished warming up was a moving position shot. It was not a fixed point training, so it was pretty good.

There were 22 rebounds, two of which were snatched, 20 of which were snatched, 16 were snatched by Jason Williams, and Zhang Hao only grabbed 3 rebounds that he was already at the best landing point, and a rebound that he had the advantage of his long-range speed.

After a group of training, Jason Williams was very proud: "What's the use of big things... No, what's the use of fast things, what's the use of jumping high things, what's the use of big strength, what's the use of rebounding, it depends on your brain!"

Strike hard!

Zhang Hao saw the 4-16 rebound score counted by the trainer, and felt that his heart was stabbed...

"Teach me!"

"ah?"

"I told me!"

Seeing Zhang Hao's serious look, Jason Williams had just abused Zhang Hao and wanted to respond, but...

"Aix, I can teach you, but this is not something you can learn by learning it. I know that you have strong learning ability, but this is more of accumulating experience...Okay, I will teach you."

Seeing Zhang Hao's expression that he wanted to learn, Jason Williams decided to teach him.

Without saying anything, Jason Williams began to explain directly: "Getting backboard is not about getting the ball to the basket, but about to be prepared to grab it. Instead, you should pay attention to observation. When I rest, I will watch the game video of the opponent's team, observe the opponent's shooting, and usually observe the teammate's shooting, including you. I will analyze the direction of the ball popping out when you miss the shot in a certain area and count the probability.

The shooting movements and habits will determine the direction of the ball popping out when you can't shoot in each area. Although it may not be the same direction, it is likely that it will be like that, which gives me the opportunity to seize the rebounding point.

During the game, when you shoot, I will also observe the difference between your shooting movements and usual. If your hand shape is wrong, I will prepare to grab rebounds as soon as possible. This is all the accumulation of experience..."

Jason Williams, who specializes in rebounding, has mediocre physical fitness and average height and wingspan, is quite professional, otherwise he would not have had super top rebounding skills.

"So, I can teach you, but if you want to improve so quickly, even if you have strong learning ability, it will not be able to improve in a short time. You must be mentally prepared for this.

I wasn't that strong in rebounding at the beginning, and so was my idol Rodman. We didn't have a good rebounding skills in our early career. I don't know how he learned it, but after I asked him, he taught me these skills, and it took me three or four years to have the current rebounding skills."

Jason Williams said it professionally, but Zhang Hao’s focus… “Is your idol Rodman?”

"Yes! He is the strongest in the world in rebounding! Is there any problem with him being my idol?"

"No, I think he has a very personality, and he is very good at rebounding, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that you don't look very similar to your idol. I heard that he is very big and he's almost caught up with me."

"Large? What's so big... Bastard! Stop it! You can't beat you to death!"

...

Can't catch up!

After running tired, Jason Williams sat on the sidelines and watched Zhang Hao and Edwards train for three-pointers.

Edwards, a panacea player, knows everything. Although he is not proficient in anything, he is competent to teach young players skills.

Another set of three-point training ended... Zhang Hao was so envious of Edwards' stable 100 three-pointers in each group!

What he also envied was Jason Williams sitting on the sidelines.

During the break, Zhang Hao picked up a bottle of water and took a sip, sat next to Jason Williams: "Three-pointers require time to practice, rebounds require time to accumulate experience. How can I make more contributions?"

Although he really wanted to hit Zhang Hao, Jason Williams had to admit that from a basketball perspective, this guy was very likable.

This is even more annoying!

But Jason Williams likes this feeling of being a teacher. After thinking about it, he responded: "You have done enough. You are the scoring champion of our team now, and you have good franchise protection ability... I don't understand what you geniuses think. For example, I don't have much talent and can pick-and-roll and rebound, so I just need to concentrate on these two things. I think you have done well enough."

Zhang Hao played 10 games, averaging 19.3 points per game, a digit higher than Almond Gilliam, who averaged 17.8 points per game, and temporarily ranked first in the Nets' scoring list.

There are three rookies in the scoring list of their respective teams this season, Zhang Hao is one of them, and the other two are Damon Stoudemire and Jerry Starkhouse.

After Jason Williams opened the game, he knew that Zhang Hao would definitely not be a player of the same level as him in the future.

Zhang Hao smiled and replied: "I just want to be better."

“Hey.”

"Um?"

"You were training for three-pointers just now, quite ugly."

“???”

Damn! Zhang Hao looked at Jason Williams with a proud smile. It was his turn to hit someone this time!

"When I don't know that this shooting posture is ugly? Isn't this a way out!"

When you walk by the river often, you can’t get your shoes wet?

The leader of the sword trainer was also stabbed by his teammates!

...

After nothing happened overnight, Zhang Hao simulated the passing in the learning mode and turned over and jumped.

When I woke up the next morning, I looked at the tip of the remaining 439 days of life, and lay down and sighed.

"I thought learning to compete for rebounds with Williams could trigger the learning mode, but I didn't..."

After saving 90 days of destiny, Zhang Hao was not so happy. He had the opportunity to increase his life during the season. He used 90 days of destiny to exchange for a more complete learning method of learning to grab rebounds and perform better, and maybe he could add more lifespan in future games.

As an inside player, rebounding is very important.

But it's just a pity, life is still there...

"Forget it, anyway, the learning method of rebounding has been obtained. It is based on accumulation, stronger prediction ability, and more analysis work..."

As always, I woke up early and went to the gym to exercise for a while. At 7:30, I came to the hotel restaurant for breakfast and happened to meet head coach Butch Baird.

After chatting about the recent training, Zhang Hao summarized the content he learned during this period and told the head coach.

If you work hard, you can't hide it, so you have to take the initiative to say it.

However, after saying that he was preparing to develop something and wanted to learn, Zhang Hao asked uncertainly: "Coach, do you think I'm too greedy?"

"Why do you say that?"

“I want to learn too much.”

Butch Baird smiled and said, "This is normal. You are a rookie. You must learn more things to slowly find the best goals for your growth.

Moreover, the things you want to learn are not much compared to those excellent insiders, so you can try anything you are interested in.
