Chapter 30 Self-confidence comes from strength

(PS: Congratulations on the 70th anniversary of the Motherland!)

Time is like a tidbit floating in the sky, so light that it slips away without paying attention.

In the classroom, Lin Nan was still studying the textbook in his hand little by little every day, sometimes frowning, as if he had encountered something that puzzled him, and sometimes smiling slightly, as if he had found something interesting.

The students sitting in the back row of the classroom also have their own things to do, and some prodigal sons turned around and began to flip through their textbooks and listen to the teacher's lectures.

Some of them took the "materials" they found out of nowhere, put them under their desks and secretly looked at the content on them, learning what was more interesting to him than studying.

But no matter what, no one in the classroom was in a daze, no one was sleeping, everyone was concentrating on their own thing.

Mei Xiabing, who was on the podium, looked at the scene in front of her and was very pleased.

After teaching for so many years, he has never seen such a scene in the classroom, and every student is very "serious".

Although he knew that some of the students sitting in the back row of the classroom who did not achieve good grades were not studying, but doing their own thing.

But he was still very happy, and did not interfere with them, because he knew that those children were not wasting their youth, and perhaps what they were doing now was second only to reading books compared to them.

Even, if they persist from now on, even if they don't read the book well, they will not be useless in the future, on the contrary, they will be able to walk out of a wonderful life.

Time is the truest thing in the world, and as long as you really pay for it, it will definitely prove to you that your efforts are rewarded.

In the blink of an eye, it's Saturday again.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after Lin Nan finished tutoring at Lao Mei's house, he came directly to the basketball court.

Lin Nan was very excited, because his father was finally going to teach him basketball scoring methods and dunks.

Timberwolves stand at the free throw line with a basketball in hand, aiming at the basket and making a standard shooting motion with both hands.

Subsequently, the basketball left his hand, and with a "brush", it was hollowed into the net, and Lin Nan under the basket steadily caught the falling basketball, and the voice of the wolf also came.

"There are only three ways to score in basketball, shooting, layup and dunking, and shooting is the simplest and most commonly used way to score, and today I will teach you how to train shooting.

As the name suggests, shooting, is the use of your hands to throw a basketball into the basket. So how can you ensure a shooting percentage?

First of all, shooting posture is important. For example, Bryant's shooting posture is flowing and picturesque, while Iverson's shooting posture is not very standard, but it is better to shoot quickly.

Why is there such a difference? Because the best shooting position is the one that suits you. Iverson's height dictates that he can only shoot like that, which is why he often chooses to break through. ”

Timber Wolf watched his son look delighted when he heard Iverson, and then frowned.

Yes, Iverson's height is a hard injury, but that's what makes him attractive, isn't it?

Lin Wolf continued to Lin Nan: "I won't teach you the shooting posture, I can only tell you that the muscles of the fingertips are the most tender part of the palm and the most sensitive part, so I will ask you to ensure that the palm is clean and the ten fingers are dirty after training."

The same is true for shooting, using the muscles of the fingertips to perform micro-manipulation at the last moment when the basketball leaves the hand, which can greatly improve the shooting rate.

So, today I'm going to give you the task of hitting a thousand baskets at the free-throw line and finding the shooting position that suits you best. ”

After listening to his father's speech, Lin Nan was thoughtful.

What is the best shooting position for you, like Kobe Bryant and Maddie, or is it as agile and fast as the answer?

Lin Nan didn't think much about it, practiced the results, picked up the basketball, and he walked to the free throw line and started shooting.

The waist is slightly bent, gently tiptoeing, the whole body rises upward, and the basketball leaves the hand when it is almost to the highest point, and the basketball enters the net with a "brush" sound.

Timberwolves received the ball under the basket, then passed it back to Lin Nan, and counted: 1.

At the beginning, Lin Nan's hit rate was not bad, about four or five out of ten balls, most of them were empty brushes, and a small half was reversed.

After the Timber Wolves counted to "50", Lin Nan's hit rate began to decline.

Maybe it's because of physical strength, or maybe it's because I'm adjusting my shooting posture, I can only score two or three out of ten balls.

But Lin Nan didn't stop to rest for a moment, because he knew that the more tired his body was, the more muscle memory could be formed, which would improve the hit rate.

Lin Nan kept catching and shooting, catching and shooting, and occasionally stopped a little when shooting to adjust his posture.

Timber wolves slowly counted: 100, 200, 300......

The sky also gradually darkened, until there was no longer a trace of red light on the horizon, and fortunately, there was a street lamp next to this stadium, which brought light to those who persisted in the darkness.

Lin Nan's hit rate is up and down, like a function that extends infinitely to the right, the amplitude is getting smaller and smaller, and finally tends to stabilize.

And Lin Nan's shooting posture also stabilized with this "stability".

When Lin Nan threw his hands weakly and was about to lose the ball, a surge of strength poured out of his body out of nowhere, like a green pool in the desert, like a new life.

Lin Nan's free throw shooting rate has also gradually improved, and the way he scored was almost empty.

“900!”

When there were still 100 balls left, Lin Wolf said: "Nan Nan, you try to let the basketball hit the basket and wipe it and then enter the net, try it in the front and back, left and right baskets, using the muscles of your fingertips." ”

Hearing his father's words, Lin Nan immediately decided to give it a try.

First, he aimed at the front basket, which was also the easiest one.

The basketball shot, with a "bang", hit the iron in front of the basket, and the iron bounced off.

The strength seems to be a little bigger.

Lin Nan did not lose heart, and shot again after receiving the ball.

With a "bang", the basketball smashed into the back iron of the basket, bounced, and then flipped in.

Although the ball was scored, Lin Nan was not happy, because this was not the way he imagined it to score.

Taking over the basketball again, Lin Nan worked hard to control the muscles at his fingertips, and used a little bit of force on the basis of what he had just done.

Finally, with a "rubbing", the basketball grazed the front of the basket and entered the net, which looked similar to an empty brush, but Lin Nan clearly heard the "rubbing" sound.

Lin Nan's sweaty face showed a long-lost smile.

took over the basketball again, and this time Lin Nan decided to wipe the back basket into the net.

It's difficult.

Lin Nan worked harder to control the muscles of his fingertips, felt the strength of his body very carefully, and finally threw the basketball to the basket with a little less strength than just now.

With a "rubbing" sound, the basketball magically rubbed to the back of the basket and then entered the net.

Lin Nan was very happy.

Next, he kept trying to rub the front and back of the basket to the left and right, and then went into the net to score.

Although there are many failures, the kind of basketball that is thrown to score goals in the way you envision, and that kind of joy you don't experience.

After Lin Wolf shouted "1000", Lin Nan was still shooting selflessly and having fun.

It wasn't until the street lights on the side of the basketball court were extinguished that Lin Nan couldn't get enough of following the wolf home.

It is not advisable to eat too much at night, so Lin Wolf boiled two eggs and a glass of milk for Lin Nan.

Then take the large wooden barrel specially ordered by someone today to the bathroom, connect the hot water, sprinkle it with Chinese herbs, and let Lin Nan's tired body soak it well, especially the arms, wrists and fingers.

Lin Nan, who had eaten well, slept a sweet night's sleep, and in his dream, he stood on the free throw line and shot.

The posture is picturesque, the movements are chic and elegant, he said that if you let the basketball turn three times into the net, you will never just turn twice, it is simply perfect, and it is the peak.

For the next week, Lin Nan would shoot 300 baskets a day, increasing to 1,000 on weekends until he found the shooting position that suited him best.

Another Sunday afternoon, Lin Nan stood on the basketball court and listened to his father's teachings.

Lin Wolf looked at Lin Nan, who was making rapid progress, and was very proud, every time his training indicators, Lin Nan had always overfulfilled them independently, which completely illustrated Lin Nan's love and persistence in the sport of basketball.

Today, he's going to teach his son the most important things on the pitch.

Timber Wolf said slowly: "These days, you have been training unguarded shooting, but there are only a few free throws in the game, and in most cases there will be interference or even blocking by the opponent. So how can you guarantee a shooting percentage in these situations?"

Timberwolf looked at his son expectantly, and said an answer that surprised him but took it for granted.

"That's self-confidence!"

Timber Wolf said with great certainty: "Only self-confidence is the magic weapon to win on your basketball court, and self-confidence comes from strength!"

Why do you see such a scene in some games, a 5v5 game, the offensive team's ball keeps passing around the perimeter, no one breaks through, no one shoots, everyone is very humble to give the ball to their teammates.

Why don't they shoot themselves?

Because they are not confident enough, they feel that they can't shoot with the interference of the enemy, they are afraid of being blocked, they feel that they are not capable of getting rid of the opponent and create enough space to shoot.

Why are they not confident enough?

Because they don't have the quality, they know they don't have enough quality to finish what it takes to score.

So, they chose humility and chose passing. ”

Lin Wolf looked at Lin Nan, who was staring at the basketball in his hand, and said loudly, "Do you want to be confident all the time?"

Lin Nan nodded.

"Then keep training and defend fearless self-confidence with unrivaled strength!"

Timber Wolf said domineeringly.

"Now, I'm going to teach you how to shoot first. ”

"The shooter holds the ball in both hands and jumps, pushing the ball out at a 45° angle when it reaches or falls after reaching its highest point, causing the basketball to fly in an arc towards the basket. The purpose of the jump shot is to avoid blocks from defenders, and it is very effective against players of similar size or unguarded. ”

The wolf said as he made a demonstration.

After the ball was scored, he continued: "There are many kinds of jump shots, including emergency stop jump shots, pull-up jump shots, and backward jump shots......
