Chapter 42: There is no shortcut

Zhang Run, with average physical fitness, average basketball talent, rebounding, assists, and defensive ability are mediocre. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After more than a year into the basketball team, the basic skill of dribbling is not up to standard, and it is not even as good as Lu Yuan, who has been learning basketball for three weeks.

His only pride and hobby is shooting.

Zhang Run loves shooting so much that he uses all the time he spends practicing alone. In morning reading class, physical education class, and in the middle of noon, if Zhang Run appeared alone on the basketball court, he would only practice shooting.

Because Zhang Run believes that people should give full play to their strengths, develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, instead of desperately wasting time on the parts they are not good at.

Shooting is what Zhang Run is good at, since elementary school, Zhang Run has fallen in love with basketball, but he is not tall, he can't run fast, he doesn't jump high, and he always suffers when playing with his classmates.

Later, Zhang Run found that he shot very well, and he had no professional training, but he practiced on weekdays, and he had a good shooting rate.

So he started shooting like crazy.

Zhang Run's father is a sailor who goes to sea all year round, and his mother works in an accounting firm and travels a lot, and most of the time his grandmother takes care of him at home.

Therefore, Zhang Run has a lot of time to spend on the court, and he often practices shooting after school until it gets dark and he can't see the basket.

In junior high school, in a physical education class, Zhang Run practiced three-pointers by himself, hit more than ten three-pointers in a row, and was favored by the physical education teacher who was also the coach of the basketball team and joined the school basketball team.

Since then, Zhang Run has more time to play basketball and more time to shoot and practice.

Under the more professional guidance of the coach and the study of various shooting training materials in his spare time, Zhang Run's shooting level has improved by leaps and bounds in the three years of junior high school.

Although his performance in other aspects was mediocre, Zhang Run, who was missing two of his strongest competitors in the special recruitment exam that year, was still favored by Gao Jing and was lucky to join the basketball team of Licheng Middle School.

Therefore, Gao Jing asked Zhang Run to be Lu Yuan's shooting teacher, and she knew that this was what he was good at.

……………………

Before the teaching began, Zhang Run asked Lu Yuan another question.

"What's the first step to making a good shot?"

"Uh...... Stand still. ”

"Congratulations, I'll teach you how to stand up. ”

"Huh, isn't this a brain teaser?"

"It's not...... I'm serious. ”

Zhang Run explained to Lu Yuan with a very serious expression that Lu Yuan believed that the first step in practicing shooting is not how to shoot with his hands, but how to stand with his feet.

Zhang Run took out a piece of chalk from his pocket, drew a white line on the ground and faced the basket, and then said to Lu Yuan: "Many people only focus on practicing hand movements when they practice shooting, just like when I was in elementary school. When I joined the basketball team in junior high school, I realized that how I stand is as important as how I shoot. ”

Saying that, Zhang Run stood in front of the white line, his left foot stood at one end of the white line, his right foot stood behind the white line, his knees were slightly bent, his back was bowed, he was sideways, his body and the white line were at 60 degrees, and his hands were open in front of his chest in the shape of catching the ball.

"This is the basic preparation action before a player receives the ball and shoots, and once he receives the ball, he is ready to shoot at any time. ”

Then, Zhang Run asked Lu Yuan to throw the ball to himself, Zhang Run received the ball, stepped on the ground with his left foot as the axis and his right foot, turned around, changed from 60 degrees to parallel to the white line, and stepped on the other end of the white line with his right foot.

At this time, Zhang Run was facing the basket and made a jump shot, and the ball crossed a beautiful arc and hollowed into the basket.

The whole action was done in one go, obviously, Zhang Run didn't know how many times he had practiced this action.

After the demonstration, Zhang Run began to instruct Lu Yuan, and also asked him to stand in front of the white line, with his left foot at one end and his right foot behind him, and make a posture of catching the ball with both hands.

However, Zhang Run directly stuffed the ball into Lu Yuan's hand and said, "Take this ball and keep doing turning exercises." Requirements, not to look down at the white line on the ground, to control the angle of turning by feeling, after turning around, to see if your right foot is just stepping on the white line. ”

This kind of empty-handed practice can train a player's ability to quickly get into the shooting state after receiving the ball, form the muscle memory of the legs, and after a long time of training, no matter what angle he catches the ball, he can face the basket after turning.

"You don't have to go for your right foot to step on the white line, you can go a little bit more than that, because if you shoot with your right hand, your right foot is usually a little bit in front of your left foot. Remember, the toes should be forward, and the knees can be slightly inward, but not inward, and full of elasticity and strength. ”

Zhang Run taught very seriously and responsibly, as if he wanted to teach Lu Yuan all the knowledge and skills related to shooting, these things, he had never communicated with others.

Lu Yuan also studied very seriously, he didn't say much, just followed Zhang Run's guidance. He didn't know what that kind of training meant for shooting, but he knew that someone did it and succeeded, so it wasn't too wrong for him to do it.

There was one sentence in his mind:

"If there's a shortcut in the world, it's not in the world of basketball. - Gan Guoyang, "A Basketball Player's Self-cultivation"

……………………

After the second evening self-study class, Lu Yuan and Bai Ye went back to the classroom together, and on the way, Lu Yuan constantly gestured with his empty hands, bent his arms, lifted up, supported the ball, turned his wrist, plucked the ball, and kept his hand shape.

Bai Ye couldn't help but say, "Can the excavator stop for a while?"

Lu Yuan replied: "What, Zhang Run said that my shooting hand is standard, let me practice empty-handed and keep it up." ”

Zhang Run taught Lu Yuan several shooting postures, and after a little practice, he began to teach Lu Yuan the most important shooting hand shapes, and found that Lu Yuan was very suitable for standard shooting postures, so he asked Lu Yuan to do more empty-handed training to strengthen muscle memory.

Bai Ye said disdainfully: "What's the use of standards, you can't put it in." ”

Lu Yuan said: "Well, I tried a few, but I couldn't get in." Zhang Run said, although Bai Ye's shooting is ugly, it is very accurate. ”

After Lu Yuan said this, Zhang Run, who was on the way back to the classroom, couldn't help but tremble, and a gust of cold wind blew goosebumps all over his body.

Bai Ye asked, "What else did Zhang Run say?"

Lu Yuan continued to shoot while saying: "He also said that your shooting posture can't be learned by ordinary people, and most people shoot with forearms, wrists, and fingers, and you almost only use your fingers and wrists to exert force, and the fingers that exert force are the middle finger and ring finger." He said I should use my middle and index fingers. ”

As soon as Lu Yuan said this, Bai Ye found that Zhang Run, who had always been silent, was quite researched in shooting.

Shiraba's shooting is indeed different, generally speaking, the shooting can be divided into two categories from the hand type, one is two-handed, and the other is one-handed.

In addition to the fact that most of the hands are used by female players or child players who are not strong enough, and a few strange ones with too long arms are used, most of the shooting hands are one-handed.

The one-handed shooting posture is also bizarre, but in general it can be divided into two categories, one is a one-handed head shot, and the other is a one-handed shoulder shot.

As the name suggests, a one-handed overhead shot is a one-handed shot with one hand to the top of the head, and a one-handed shoulder shot is a one-handed shot from the top of the shoulder.

Both postures have their own advantages and disadvantages, generally speaking, one-handed head shooting is a more standard and more beautiful shooting hand, one-handed shoulder shooting for various reasons, will derive a lot of strange shooting hand, and can also derive a lot of magical shooting methods.

Stephen Curry's quick-shooter, Larry Bird's mortar, Steve Nash's recumbent jump shot, these are some of the most famous super shooters in NBA history, and the shooting hand is all shoulder-to-shoulder shooting.

Elegant mid-range hitmen like Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Carmelo Anthony, and others are standard head shot users.

The characteristics of the shoulder shot are that the multi-part straight line force, which can borrow more from the strength of the big arm, the shooting speed is very fast, the slow is very slow, and the fingers that pluck the ball have both the middle finger, the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger.

The characteristics of shooting on the head are that it requires high strength of the forearm and wrist, the big arm plays more of a lifting role, the shooting speed is generally faster, and the finger plucking ball is mostly the middle finger and index finger.

But Bai Ye's shooting is quite unique, in terms of starting action and ball position, his shooting is a one-handed shoulder shot, and it is a slower shoulder shot, because he will adjust the shooting point to a very high point;

But the fingers he used to pluck the ball were his middle and ring fingers.

Such a strange shooting hand, the preparation action is relatively long, you need to lift the ball to the highest point, so the defender will feel slow, but once it is lifted to the highest point, the shot is a matter of shaking the wrist, the ball is extremely fast, the defender often thinks that it is too late to interfere, but the ball has already gone out.

Such a mix-and-match shot is not without precedent in the history of basketball, and Liu Yudong, the Chinese god of war, is an excellent representative of this hand style, and Liu Yudong has put in a lot of sweat to practice this stunt.

……………………

The two returned to the classroom while talking, and Ge Yiming was holding a pale yellow bookmark paper and a pen to transcribe something.

Seeing that Lu Yuan was back, Ge Yiming came up and said, "Lu Yuan, come and see, how is my poem written?"

Lu Yuan was a little puzzled and asked, "Aren't you writing novels, why are you writing poems again?"

Ge Yiming said: "I write novels and poems, and I am an all-rounder. Lu Yuan, when the time comes, I will put the transcribed poem in the envelope containing the novel, and you can send it to me together. ”

Lu Yuan nodded, and Ge Yiming said again: "Hey, you show me, how is my poem written?"

As he spoke, Ge Yiming handed the bookmark he had just transcribed to Lu Yuan.

Although Ge Yiming is a little obscene, jumping up and down all day long is not serious, his writing is very good, neat and powerful, and he has obviously practiced.

Lu Yuan took the bookmark and looked at the poem on it.

"I miss walking in the summer.

Where the moon shines, the birds are asleep.

Smile climbs into the night, how many flowers bloom and wither in the dark.

I love the suffocation of ups and downs.

Just sink into it like this, let life fall into love.

Thoughts are deep in memories, waiting for deep in the future......"

What is this written? Lu Yuan read it, feeling dizzy and dizzy, and didn't know what Ge Yiming wanted to say.

Ge Yiming saw that Lu Yuan looked like he was reading a book from heaven, took the bookmark back, and said, "Play the piano to the cow...... Hey, I can't find anyone to appreciate it, point and point, and see if there's anything to modify. ”

Lu Yuan had an idea and said, "Why don't you let Bai Ye show you, his language is so good." ”

Ge Yiming nodded and agreed deeply, but he was not familiar with Bai Ye, and Bai Ye was so cold, so he asked Lu Yuan to help him ask.

So, Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone, took a photo of it, and sent it to Bai Ye on WeChat.

After two seconds, Lu Yuan was still typing and said, "I wrote it at the same table, you can help see how it is written", and Bai Ye replied with four words: "What do you want to do." ”

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at the fourth group, Bai Ye was looking at him coldly, only to feel a chill on his back, his hand shook, and he sent out the words that he hadn't finished.

Bai Ye looked at his phone and received three words: Comrade I.
