After examination, Randolph did not hurt his bones and could fully recover after a two-week rest, and the team doctor advised him to miss the rest of the regular season and recuperate to his best condition and return to the playoffs. Now that the Warriors have all but locked up second place, Randolph has accepted the doctor's offer and Turyaf will be the starting center.

After a half-day break, the Warriors flew to Dallas to prepare for the away game against the Mavericks on the 26th.

In the last battle, Zhou Xuan asked for Jason? Kidd's phone, as soon as he reached Dallas, he called to invite Kidd to dinner, so he also checked the phone number of the famous hotel in Dallas in advance and reserved a table in advance.

Kidd didn't shirk and went to the appointment on time.

"Hello, Jason."

"Hey, Zhou, why did you remember to invite me to dinner?" Kidd laughed.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Although we are on different teams, you are the best point guard in the league in the past 10 years, and I want to ask you something." ”

When he first entered the league, Zhou Xuan said that his idol was Nash, partly because Nash's defense was bad, and he was not confident in his defense. Now he's getting more and more experienced on the defensive end, and his idol has become Kidd.

Nash is only good for running and shooting, but Kidd is good for all systems. Nash's passing is superb, and the young Kidd is like a magician, and the Nets have proven that he can adapt to the fast break when the Nets reached the Finals twice.

It's a pity that his heyday was overshadowed by O'Neal, Garnett, Duncan and other interior players, otherwise he could have won at least one championship.

It is not difficult to see from the data that Nash's shooting ability and scoring ability are stronger than Kidd's, with a much higher shooting percentage and a slight advantage in offense. But there was a big gap between the two on the defensive end, and from 1999 to 2007, Kidd was on the league's All-Defensive Team every year, four times in the first team and five times in the second team. When it comes to Nash's defense, the first word that comes to mind is "black hole". Kidd averages 6 per game. 7 rebounds, 2 steals per game, Nash can't catch up.

In the 2001-2002 season, the Nets' defense was also the best in the league, but their interior was rookie Kenyon? Martin, teenager Richard? Jefferson and the spoiling Jason? Collins, but the pinnacle Kidd led them to the Finals.

Zhou Xuan wanted to talk to Kidd to see what his defensive shortcomings were. Jackson is a swingman after all, and Kidd is the recognized defensive master at point guard. As for the last point guard defense expert was Payton, Kidd's mentor who often took young Kidd to the wild.

After ordering the food, Kidd asked, "I watched the video of your game, and although no one pays attention to your defense yet, mentioning that you should be in the defensive lineup or something, it's actually pretty good." You don't suffer against speed guards, and tall people can interfere with shots and rarely get passed, do you think you can still learn from me? ”

Zhou Xuan nodded: "Of course you can, I think there are two guards who are very great, one is Gary?" Peyton, the other one is you, and you're the only one who can really attack and defend. I don't want to be a person who can only attack, I've encountered some bottlenecks recently, I don't know how to improve one step closer, please tell me a little experience, it won't delay your rest time. ”

"I'm not as good at defending as you now, at least I'm struggling with a fast defender." Kidd laughed.

"Don't be modest, if my speed is the same as yours, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to defend, your skills are something I have personally experienced."

Zhou Xuan knew that Dao Kidd was only moving slowly, but the misplaced defensive swing man was very good and would not miss people. Veteran players tend to bring up some of the younger ones who can afford to look up, and at the 2008 Olympics, Kidd mentored DeLong and Paul and shared his experience with them. Zhou Xuan didn't have a chance to participate in the training camp with him, so he could only use this method to ask for advice.

If Kidd sacrificed his vacation and didn't accompany his family to practice with Zhou Xuan, as a veteran of the league, he wouldn't do it, and it wasn't something he could ask for help by spending money, he wasn't short of money at all. It's just that it doesn't matter about experience, but there is no good player to guide on the field, how much can Zhou Xuan understand?

Kidd asked, "Tell me what you think of my defense, right?" ”

Zhou Xuan immediately replied: "You move very well when defending, it is difficult for the opponent to break through alone, and you have strength, and it is difficult for a small forward to eat you alone." A new generation of defenders like Paul and DeLong, after your teammates help you block and dismantle, your chasing speed is a little slow, which is why the outside world says that you are easy to be blown up by speed guards. But in fact, you often defend the opponent's main attack point, and 90% of the data of a duel between a non-main attack point and the main attack point will be blown up. And in some games, you're not the point guard who defends the opposition, but the scoring guard. ”

Kidd nodded. "So you also took the initiative to ask to defend Kobe."

"Well, I want to be as good as you were at your peak, I don't have as many steals as you, and I'm a little worse when I help defend, against small forwards, swing people, if they are out of position and have to hold the ball and eat hard, it's hard for me to defend." Zhou Xuan said lightly.

Kidd was silent for a moment, and found that Zhou Xuan spoke very comprehensively, and said all his characteristics. This proves that Zhou Xuan is indeed studying defense carefully. If you want to defend well, you must first have a defensive heart, otherwise everything will be in vain. Zhou Xuan has already started.

"You're being eaten hard by swing guys, strikers, and I don't have any good advice. Because it's a congenital deficiency that not even me or Payton was in their prime. For example, a big man with a height of more than 205CM jumps in front of him, and you can't touch his eyes when you jump with all your might, let alone block it. Even if you have Nate? Robinson's bounce, jumping early, is just easy to get fouled, I believe you understand this. ”

Zhou Xuan nodded. "So what should be done the right way?"

Kidd said lightly: "Don't jump, just follow, the defender's first task is not to block, grasp the rhythm of the opponent's attack, and cut the ball before he lifts the ball high." For example, some people like to take the ball with their backs and then squeeze away from the opponent and turn around to shoot, like your teammate Zach? Randolph. But even if it was him, the moment he turned to face the frame, the ball was below his chest. Hold the ball, bend the knees, jump, shoot, everyone practices shooting at this rhythm, only then will it be accurate. If the ball is below the chest when the opponent turns, as long as your hands are accurate and fast enough, it is possible to make a successful steal. ”

Zhou Xuan listened very carefully. "What if the opponent is held high?"

"And then he immediately closes to his body, if the ball is held high, it is difficult to ensure the rhythm of the shot, the traditional inside way to solve this problem is to dribble with his back and turn to shoot, such as Yao Ming, so his jump shot is very difficult to defend, and it is difficult for the opponent to knock the ball off. But how many such players are there in the league? It's normal to be unstoppable. Kidd laughed.

After just chatting a few words, Zhou Xuan got some enlightenment, and he had more experience when he was misplaced, but he still couldn't do as good as Kidd, because Kidd's physique was stronger than him, and he was able to resist people after being misplaced, and he was not afraid of physical confrontation, but he suffered a lot from dislocation. IF YOU LOOK AT THE HEIGHT, THERE IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 189CM AND 193CM. But Kidd has 95 kilograms, and after fitness, Zhou Xuan is only 84 kilograms.

He thought about it for a while, and then asked: "I suffered a loss in the confrontation, and I weighed less than you, but I see Peyton thinner than me, where is the gap between me and him?" ”

If it is a chengguan, it is easy to understand that he is not afraid of any confrontation, but it is incredible that Payton is 193CM tall and weighs 82 kilograms without fear of misalignment.

"Thinness does not mean that the confrontation ability is poor. Of course, it is still good to have weight, I bench press 84 kg and do five. I've heard that Boykins has a maximum bench press of 140kg, I've never tried to do that kind of thing, does anyone think Boykins is better than me? ”

"I still doubt the truth of this."

Kidd smiled: "I doubt it too, but there are a lot of people who believe that Garnett can touch the top edge of the rebound, and Boykins bench press 140 kilograms, no way, some people are so simple-minded." ”

Zhou Xuan asked, "What is Peyton's secret?" ”

"You're asking the right guy, Peyton relies on agility. What does a small defender need that much force for? The strength is different from other physical qualities, as long as you are willing to practice, you can achieve results. But too much force will definitely affect agility and coordination. Bryant spent a period of 2003 gaining weight like crazy, increasing his strength training and confrontation training. But in the end, he himself said that he still had to reduce the amount of force training, because it affected his agility. If you want to defend against people, you just need to be strong enough in your lower limbs. ”

"Don't you practice your upper limbs?" Zhou Xuan admits that he does have strength and is willing to practice, he will become stronger, his bench press is much stronger than when he first came to the United States, 84 kg is in good condition, and he can challenge one if he holds his breath.

"In basketball, the strength of the lower limbs is relatively more important, and of course, the upper limbs cannot be completely ignored. The lower limbs help you to stand firmly, and if you don't stand steadily, you can't exert force at all, which is the most critical thing in defense. The strength of the upper limbs allows you to control the ball in a position that makes you more comfortable to shoot, and no matter how stable you stand, it is useless if you can't shoot. In addition, the amount of waist and abdomen strength is also very important, because the amount of strength of the lower body is transmitted to the upper body through the waist and abdomen. Kidd said.

Yi Jianlian can't play well in the NBA, but Yao Ming, who moves slowly, can dominate the low post, just because Yao Ming has a pair of thick legs and is stable in the lower game, not how thick his arms are.

Zhou Xuan got through at one point, and was ready to go back and ask the physical trainer to exercise more of his lower limb strength.

The waiter served, Kidd ordered sea bass, watched Zhou Xuan eat mutton, and said with a smile: "Your weight increase to 85 kg to 90 kg will give you an advantage in the No. 1 position, not afraid of the No. 2 position, but the diet structure should also be healthier, eat less high-calorie food, that will increase your fat content, increase muscle is useful." ”

Zhou Xuan thought to himself, I haven't gained weight when I eat high-calorie Chinese food now, will I lose weight directly if I eat non-calorie? As soon as you exercise, all the calories are consumed.

After a few bites, he asked again: "How to do a good job in assisting in defense?" ”

"Look at the opponent's arrangement, look at who you are defending, if you are not good at shooting, of course, you have to help defend more, predict that the opponent does not like to pass, you must shoot, you can also help defend. If you're defending the top scorers, Kobe, Wade, James, then don't run around and wait for your teammates to help you. ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
