Chapter Ninety-Nine: Kobe's Teachings
Li Du was leaned on by Kobe, but with his physical condition, it is completely okay to follow Kobe to chase out and block, this time Li Du is here to learn offensive skills, and not to practice defense, so he did not chase defense, but felt this action. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After playing in the NBA for half a season, Li Du has faced these offensive actions, but when others do these actions in front of him, they are all forced by Li Du to make a shot, so in Li Du's heart, these actions have a very small basic effect, and he has never learned.
Today, under Kobe's words and deeds, Li Du did not seriously defend, but felt what should be done to get enough space for this action.
Kobe Bryant knew from the beginning that it was impossible to shake off Li Du by simply shaking, so when he was followed by Li Du, he protected the ball while sticking to Li Du, and then pressed Li Du with his shoulder, and then borrowed the reaction force on Li Du's body to stop his steps at the same time, strode back backwards and shot.
The main points of this action lie in two points, one is that the strength should be large enough when facing the opponent, so that the defender cannot pounce forward in time, and the other is that the pace of retreat is fast and the amplitude is large, and at the same time, the center of gravity of the body must be kept undisturbed, so as to make a stable shot.
After listening to Li Du's analysis of the retreat, Kobe nodded, and then reminded: "Li, your analysis is correct, but this is when you don't throw off your opponent." There is more than one way to use the step-back, such as Iverson, who lacks physical strength but is unmatched by the speed of his steps, so he uses the step-back step not to make contact with the defender, but as a way to disrupt the defender's footsteps. You are not proficient in dribbling now, so you are not fast when you attack with the ball, and when you practice attacking with the ball one day, the step back can also become a tool for you to disrupt the defender's footsteps! ”
Kobe Bryant then taught Li Du several actions that can shake off defenders without moving quickly, especially for Li Du's high shooting rate, Kobe Bryant told Li Du in detail about the action of "worshipping Buddha". Make the action of collecting the ball and shooting, but the non-ball handler does not touch the basketball, this trick is made by people with a high shooting percentage, which is very powerful, because the shooting rate is high, as long as the ball is collected, the defender will instinctively want to jump up and interfere with the shooting, even if he does not jump, the defensive center of gravity will be improved.
As long as the defender's center of gravity moves, he can break through immediately, at this time, the defender needs to readjust the center of gravity, and it is too late to follow the defense! This is the point of "worshipping Buddha", shaking the defender's center of gravity with a fake shot!
The most important thing is that Kobe Bryant corrected Li Du's point of view, whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, it is not necessary to shake the defender completely, you just need to have enough space to shoot yourself! Kobe Bryant even told Li Du that many times, only the distance of one shoulder of the defender is enough to break through, and the distance of one shoulder can be completely broken through against the defender, and the opponent who loses the defensive position is likely to be judged a foul if he blocks it!
After the All-Star break, halfway through the NBA schedule, teams will prepare for the playoffs in order to grab a playoff spot or have a good ranking in the playoffs. So in the coming March, all teams will do their best! This is also the reason for "March Madness".
Another important news is that after the All-Star break, the NBA's trade channel will be closed, and teams can no longer trade players this season, which means that the current roster needs to play until the end of the season, which is the last few days of the season to find reinforcements.
The Lakers have been looking for an excellent interior player, but unfortunately there is a lack of excellent interior players, and the Zen master has been looking for half a season but has not found a suitable interior player, so he has to reluctantly use Kwame Brown, Bynum and Turiaf. Such an interior lineup is the Lakers' weakness in the Western Division, where there are many strong teams!
So after Kobe Bryant won the MVP of this All-Star Game, he didn't relax at all, but trained more urgently, and became stronger while he was healthy! He's going to get ready for the playoffs, he's going to hit the championship again, he's going to get the Finals MVP!
After Li Du said goodbye to Kobe, he returned to the hospital and followed his master to learn Qilin steps. In fact, Li Du has also learned it before, after all, this is a very important footwork in the Bagua palm play, but he did not have an in-depth understanding, this time he followed the master to re-learn, more to learn how to exert force.
This is relatively fast, Li Du himself has a foundation, Shang Yun explained in detail, and after he did a few more demonstrations, Li Du understood. However, if it is to be used in the competition, it is still necessary for Li Du to practice by himself.
Now Li Du's training is not only his daily training, but also more dribbling practice and pull-up jump shooting practice. His flaw is obvious, which is his ability to attack with the ball. The reason why Li Du's offensive ability with the ball is insufficient is largely because his dribbling ability is not strong, and with his current dribbling skills, he can't control the ball as he wants, and the ball moves with people, so he can't shake the defender when he holds the ball.
There is also the fact that Li Du's emergency stop jump shooting rate is not high, that is, about 30%. A 30 percent shooting percentage may be okay for others, but as a terrifying pitcher with a three-point shooting rate of almost 70 percent, a 30 percent pull-up jump shooting rate is too low!
In these two aspects, Kobe Bryant helped Li Du a lot. not only found a special dribble control coach for Li Du, but also told Li Du about his various jump shooting techniques and experience, and when Li Du trained, as long as Kobe Bryant had time, he would come over for guidance.
Kobe Bryant helped Li Du so much, so that the other young players in the team were very red, in addition to the red-eyed, they were more strange in their hearts, in the rumors and usually get along, everyone can feel that Kobe is an arrogant person, but also an unsociable person, when others ask Kobe to help, Kobe generally refuses, why Li Du asked Kobe for help, Kobe Bryant is so concerned?
In fact, this is a misunderstanding that many people have about Kobe, he is indeed an arrogant person, but he is also a very competitive person, he likes to work hard players, and his own training is almost masochistic! When Kobe Bryant saw that Li Du was training crazier than himself, he liked and admired Li Du even more, which is why Kobe Bryant has always taken care of Li Du.
Under Kobe's careful words and deeds, Li Du's ability to hold the ball and attack is getting better and better, of course, to be able to use it on the field and become a conventional weapon in Li Du's field, it will take a long time to hone, but for Li Du's concentration and progress, Kobe Bryant is in his eyes!
Looking at Li Du who was sweating in the training ground because he exercised according to the coach's requirements and did not close his pores, Kobe Bryant would even think that after a year or two, when Li Du's skills in all aspects are mature, will Li Du and himself become a new generation of super backcourt? Just like Jordan and Pippen did back then!
