Chapter 20: Training
In the evening, the training was over, and everyone covered in sweat took a shower in the locker room, then changed their clothes and left the training hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
An Xi hesitated again and again, and finally changed into a training uniform again, and he wanted to train himself more.
The crappy ball-holding skills can be practiced, and An Xi also knows this, and he also clearly knows that in fact, Popovich's passing and cutting tactics do not have too high requirements for the player's ability to hold the ball, and the only requirement is probably to be able to dribble without dropping.
But Anxi's dribbling has been lame to the point that once he encounters an NBA-level confrontation, he will inevitably drop the ball, which is very embarrassing, which is equivalent to Anxi's complete lack of ability to hold the ball!
After taking a basketball, An Xi stood on the court for a while, and then reacted, he should start, and the time to practice at night is very precious.
An Xi began to dribble the ball around the court, but after only a moment's effort, An Xi stopped panting.
"This can't be done, what's the difference between this and the previous dribbling? I still can't find the mistakes in my dribbling......" An Xi was still slapping the basketball on the spot, but at this moment, he was already in distress.
What's the use of a person rushing around the court with a ball? Once you encounter a confrontation, you still have to kneel, so how do you practice?
Just as An Xi was meditating, the door of the training hall was pushed open again, and the squeaking sound did not let An Xi notice.
However, the person who pushed the door open and walked in saw An Xi: "Huh, China An, are you practicing?"
Anxi noticed that someone came in, and it was TJ Ford who pushed the door in, and Anxi knew that TJ Ford had been doing recovery training in the strength room all afternoon, because Ford had an injury.
"Terrance (Terrance Jerold Ford, full name)? Why are you here?" Anxi's implication was that Ford was injured, so was he here to practice?
"I'm here to practice, and although I'm injured, I can't waste my state. T.J. Ford smiled, explained, and began his shooting practice with the basketball.
Anxi looked at TJ Ford's training blankly, Ford's shooting action was very careful, the range of action was very small, and he was obviously worried about his injury.
Anxi also quickly started his own practice, dribbling.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Anxi's dribbling made a loud noise, but it didn't have much effect, which made Anxi quite distressed.
TJ Ford, who was attracted by Anxi's sound, quickly stopped his shooting training, holding his basketball and watching Anxi do those lame dribbling drills, he suddenly thought that in the evening, his teammates were talking about the afternoon tactical training in the power room, and it seemed that this Chinese An had been dropping the ball all afternoon when he was holding the ball?
TJ Ford laughed, it was okay left and right, he made it to the floor, watched Anxi dribble, and carefully observed Anxi's technical movements.
It seems that the rhythm of the dribble is not very good, and the movements are not very smooth, right! And most importantly, this guy?
TJ Ford shook his head with a smile, he found that Anxi was actually dribbling with the palm of his hand, and he really couldn't find it if he didn't look closely.
Anxi noticed that TJ Ford stopped to watch his training for a while, he stopped embarrassedly, and then scratched the back of his head: "Terrance, how's it going? What do you think my dribbling needs to be improved?"
An Xi knew that the most helpless thing he was now was that he didn't know what he was wrong with.
Hearing An Xi's words, TJ Ford shook his head and smiled: "An, you have too many dribbling problems, so let's do it, it just so happens that I'm fine, I'll help you get rid of those problems!"
Anxi laughed happily, "Thank you, Terrance. ”
……
As the No. 8 pick of the 03 session, TJ Ford's strength is still quite good, if it weren't for the injury, maybe his name would have appeared in the 03 golden generation. TJ Ford's fundamentals are good, he is a native of Texan, his hometown is a small city near Houston, and Allen Iverson once said that TJ Ford is the only player who can beat him with speed.
And now, Anxi is about to be coached by TJ Ford.
"Ann, you see, your dribbling is all done with the palm of your hand, first of all, this action is wrong, it is difficult to control the basketball with the palm of the hand, so you have to learn to dribble with your fingertips first. ”
Dribbling with his fingertips? An Xi suddenly realized that his dribbling was wrong from the beginning.
Anxi still clearly remembers that when he was a child, he was sent to the local sports school to learn basketball, and the teacher who taught basketball seemed to mention fingertip dribbling, but did not emphasize this, perhaps from that time on, Anxi's dribbling was wrong.
"Also, the average good ball handler has a certain rhythm on the dribble, which has the advantage of preventing movement and making it difficult for the defender to break the ball. ”
Rhythm?Anxi wrote down another important point.
"Well, that's it, as long as you get rid of these two points, your dribbling will definitely improve. TJ Ford didn't say how far Anxi could improve, but he didn't say that Anxi also knew that even if he changed those two points, Anxi's dribbling would be at best an NBA average.
In an office upstairs at the arena, with a window facing the court downstairs, Gregg Popovich has not yet left work, and together with his head assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, he is ready to study how to quickly integrate the new jersey into the game, after all, the new season will start in a few days.
However, the plan could not keep up with the change, and Anxi's extra practice in the arena quickly attracted their attention.
"This China is quite hard. Mike Budenholzer sighed.
"Yes, the Chinese players are very hard-working, but his dribbling does have to be practiced, and Terence teaches it very well. Popovich nodded, and when he saw TJ Ford teach Anxi dribbling, he nodded appreciatively.
"I heard that Ann's three points are good?"
"yes, he's shooting over 95 percent from three-point range, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have picked him. ”
"Then I think we can add that to the new tactics and get the most out of Ann's three-pointers. ”
"What do you mean, a three-point shot for Ann?" Popovich thought for himself.
What An Xi didn't know was that because of his hard work and his training, the coaching staff decided to add a specific tactic to An Xi, that is, as a rookie who just joined the NBA, An Xi will also have his own tactics.
At 8 p.m., the training had to be over, because TJ Ford had to go back to spend time with his wife and son.
"Thank you so much tonight, Terrance. Before leaving, Anxi sincerely expressed his gratitude, and then left the training hall with Ford's front foot and back foot.
