Basketball is known as the second largest sport in the world, and it is very popular all over the world
Welcome, China has become more and more familiar with and fond of basketball in recent years, and the NBA, as the most famous professional basketball league in the world, naturally has a very large audience.
Before that, the favorite team of Chinese fans was the Houston Rockets, because the famous Chinese star Yao Ming once played for this team. The combination of Yao Ming and McGrady did not know how many people’s hearts were affected. Although Yao Ming had already left the NBA, but
Chinese fans still love the Rockets and their unyielding spirit.
But Morey’s remarks recently hurt everyone deeply.
Fans who are familiar with the Rockets will definitely know another famous player-Olajuwon. He is the greatest player in the history of the Rockets and has won countless honors for the Rockets.
In the 1990s, Jordan chose to retire after leading the team to win three consecutive championships, and the league’s heroes all rose together, all eyeing the position of the championship. At this time, it was Olajuwon who led the Rockets to defeat many tycoons
The next two consecutive championships, these two championships are also the only two championships in the history of the Rockets.
Olajuwon gave opponents a total of 3,830 blocks in his career, and he is also the leader in total blocks in NBA history, and his offensive ability is unparalleled. He stood out among many top centers in the league at the time and dominated the basket.
His fantasy footsteps are also known as the most difficult offensive moves in the NBA together with Jordan’s fadeaway jumper and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s hook.
Such a move naturally attracted countless stars to learn from it, and asked Olajuwon for advice on dream footsteps.
Stoudemire’s offensive ability has always been very good. He averaged 23 points per game in the season of his career. He even scored 37 points per game against the peak Duncan in the playoffs, but his offense all benefited from the Suns.
The team’s successful bombardment tactics, scoring are mostly hard hits at the basket and pick-and-roll layups.
Later, Stoudemire also asked Olajuwon for advice, but because his own game style had taken shape, there was no change in the end, and as his injuries became more and more serious, Stoudemire also slowly left the NBA arena.
Since Howard entered the league, he has relied on his excellent physical fitness to occupy a position in the NBA, but his skills have always been his biggest shortcoming. After two years in the NBA, he still only knows the simplest
Hooks at the basket, and Howard only focuses on his confrontation ability and likes to exercise his muscles very much.
Later, Howard joined the Rockets, and Olajuwon took the initiative to teach, but it didn’t have much effect. He still used the previous skills in the game.
It can also be said that Howard and Stoudemire learned technology for nothing, but they didn’t use it at all.
When Yao Ming was still playing in the CBA, he said that Olajuwon was his idol. As a result, Yao Ming was really selected by the Rockets. Naturally, Yao Ming would not waste the opportunity to learn from Olajuwon.
At that time, Yao Ming relied on Olajuwon’s teachings to take root in the league with his dexterous offensive steps. At the end of his career, Yao Ming began to gain weight and mainly played hard at the basket, but his footwork
Still a great help on offense.
And Kobe is the best player who has taught Olajuwon. Although Kobe is a shooting guard in the NBA, Kobe always wants to have a stronger offensive method, so he asked Olajuwon for advice.
Olajuwon also said that Kobe is the hardest player he has ever seen, and he has mastered almost all of his skills.
In the middle of Kobe’s career, we can often see Kobe grabbing opponents with a strong position, which relies on his dexterous footsteps.
