The game of the fourth quarter was scorching. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info whistle, Yuanfei's face suddenly became grim.

It was the referee who called a timeout, and the staff and team doctor rushed onto the field and surrounded the bleeding Olajuwon. He was bleeding profusely as he broke the corner of his eye with an additional action after O'Neal's dunk.

The league's No. 1 superstar and two-time Finals Most Valuable Player "Big Shark" O'Neal is resigned to it like a child who has done something wrong at the moment, "I'm sorry, Hakim, I didn't pay attention to the scale of action just now. I really didn't mean to, I'm so sorry. ”

"Of course it wasn't on purpose, I know." Da Meng smiled kindly, "Now that you are the number one center in the league, do you need violence to fight an old man with the strength of the first center?" It's okay, Shaq. ”

Big dreams stop the bleeding. Magloyer was once again in the field, once again facing O'Neill, who was a lap his size. Fight! Brother Pony made up his mind in his heart.

Despite Magloyle's best efforts, O'Neal, who had had enough of the rest in the third quarter, exploded completely, scoring 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting and free throws in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers held the lead until the end. But the Rockets also kept biting the score, and the game ended as Maddie gambled on a three-point shot and missed. 98:95 The Rockets lost and their win percentage fell below the 50% mark for the first time this season.

Tang Shuai was not saddened by the three consecutive defeats, and these young men fought to the last goal of the two-time champion under the adverse situation of the captain's injury, and they gave enough hope to mention.

The next day, the Rockets were training at the stadium as usual in preparation for the next day's game against the Mavericks. And Yuanfei called Maddie away.

"Tracy, today I'm not a friend, but as a team manager, and I'm going to give you some knowledge and advice about basketball."

"Of course." Maddie said yes, but in her heart she didn't think so. After all, Yuanfei is a child in their eyes. Privately, it's a friend, and at work, Maddie really doesn't think she can learn anything.

"Let's start with a video." Yuan Fei operated the computer, and the picture was the last attack of the last game against the Lakers, and at the moment when Maddy shot the basket, Yuan Fei froze the picture. "See, Turkoglou in the bottom left corner is clinging to it, Reed at 45 degrees on the right is stared at death, but Williams in the bottom right corner is empty. At the time you may have been blocked by the defender and didn't notice it. ”

"Oh, I probably noticed. But I'm the heart of the team, Hakim isn't there yet, it's my responsibility to shoot the last ball, isn't that a matter of course? Maddie explained.

"The core role is for you to 'handle' the last shot, not the last shot. If you just want to be a hero, you won't win, and if you give the ball to the person who is most sure of it, you may not win, but the probability of winning will be relatively large. In order to establish this model, Rudy replaced Williams and Reed, don't you realize the role of substitution? Because there are 3 people on the court besides you who can shoot three-pointers, there is no obvious trap for you, the ball-handler. Yuanfei analyzed.

Maddie nodded, he began to comprehend, but he didn't quite understand.

"I know your generation of players is watching Michael. Jordan's ball grew up, and your dreams are all about being the next Jordan. But I want you to be the first McGrady. You can't blindly imitate Jordan's style of play. Yuan Fei slowly got to the point, "You and Jordan have completely different body types. He has iron-clad muscles, and his muscle level is the best in the second position. Even in the middle of his career, he was trying to gain weight, so Jordan frequently used back-to-back singles to force guards who were smaller than him. From that point of view, Bryant is closer to him. Your muscle type is more flexible, and you're nowhere near as physical as Jordan, and if you stick to playing like him, it will ruin your career. ”

"Since I'm not in good condition, whose style of play should I imitate? Or create my own style of play? Maddie asked.

"Bad conditions? You are mistaken. Let's take a look at the ball. Yuanfei pointed to the computer and played the picture of Maddie single-handedly Kobe Bryant successfully scoring a three-pointer. Your muscles and physical strength are not as good as Jordan's, but you have the height and reach that he doesn't have. Tracy: Your arm span is as long as 222cm (note: a lot of body measurement data is not public, and the arm span data is from the private data on the Internet, which may not be accurate), which is the internal level. Jordan is only about 218cm, and Kobe Bryant is only 208cm. So your jump shot will be higher than theirs. If Garnett's three-point shot is as accurate as Reggie Miller's, who can block him? And you, who are one size smaller Garnett in size, are a better Larry with ball control. Bird (Celtics legend superstar), better ball control means more ability to attack with the ball, you don't need to rely on top point guards to deliver shells for you, you just need teammates to shoot to open up space for you, so Manager Dawson has formed a team of pitchers for you, all you need to do is practice shooting. The all-round technique is good, of course, but we want you to specialize in shooting, because you only need one pull-up jumper to get out of the way. Remember to improve your shooting accuracy, and when you're as accurate as Bird or Miller, you're already dominating the league. ”

"What do you mean...... I can spend more of my time practicing other techniques on my shooting. Maddie asked hesitantly.

"That's right. We have a Chinese proverb called 'everything is clear, everything is loose', on the basketball court, comprehensive technology is not necessarily the strongest. Sark. O'Neal is fierce in the three-second zone, what do you think he will do when he is out of this range? Will he be hit? Can he take a good penalty? Will he break with the ball? is also a big tall man, Garnett's skills are more than ten times stronger than O'Neal's, but can Garnett resist O'Neal head-on? Of course not. How is it possible that you want to play with your back like Jordan, shoot threes like Miller, dunk like Carter, and break through like Iverson? You only have 24 hours in a day, can you dedicate 40 hours a day to training these techniques? You have 20 or 30 rounds to attack a ball, do you have to use every technique all over again? No, you can specialize in a few items. ”

"But the training I received from childhood was to teach me that the more comprehensive the technique, the better." Maddie kept thinking, "Is this philosophy wrong?" ”

"For beginners, of course, it's good to dabble in more techniques. But you are now a professional footballer, you have to have a full understanding of yourself and a clear plan, this is the professional attitude, and you are also responsible for yourself. Let me ask you, what is the essence of basketball? What elements can sum up the whole game of basketball? ”

"This ...... It's a score. As long as you score more points, you can win. Maddie replied after thinking hard.

"Basketball is essentially the three elements – offense, defense and round. Offense is not just a score, it is a score scored within a fixed number of rounds; Defence, on the other hand, is the number of points lost in a fixed number of rounds; Rounds are a competition to see who can fight for more rounds. For example, in the Bulls dynasty in previous years, the whole team was very strong defensively, and Jordan was the guarantee of the offense, Rodman's monster rebounding, Pippen and Jordan's amazing stealing ability were the guarantee of their number of turns. In other words, this team has an advantage in all three elements, so they are strong at the dominant level. Yuan Fei gushed out: "Last season, for example, the league team played an average of 91.3 rounds per game and scored 94.8 points. If the team has an interior barrier like O'Neal or Duncan, they will increase rebounds to increase the number of overs and lower the number of overs the opponent. Of course, a lot of steals or a few turnovers can also increase the number of turnovers, but not as much as rebounding. ”

"Wait, I'll interrupt. The league averaged 91.3 rounds and 94.8 points, which means that each offense averaged a little over 1 point. Maddie asked.

"That's right, but last season the league only shot 47.3 percent from the field, and 0.946 points per field was less than one point."

"The extra scoring efficiency is ...... Penalty kick? ”

"Correct. Last season, the league shot 74.8 percent from the free-throw line, which is much higher than athletic warfare. But I'm not advocating that you get more fouls on the break, because the break does result in more free throws, but it also leads to more turnovers and conceded shots. Increased offensive efficiency, but also reduced the number of rounds. I'm going to say start with shooting and really improve your individual offensive efficiency. For example, Reggie. Miller, despite being 35 years old, had an EFG% of 51.2% last season that was significantly higher than the league average. And my three-point shooting theory, you've heard it many times, and I won't repeat it. ”

"Three-point shots and offensive baskets are more cost-effective than mid-range shots, mid-range shots are just strategic weapons, not conventional weapons, and I remember that they are ripe." Maddie laughed.

"Haha, that's a bit of a stretch. Remember the three elements, your defense and round support ability are already top in the No. 2 position (note: Maddie was the Raptors' defensive knife early in his career, and his rebounding and stealing skills are very good). But the most important impact you have on the team is the offense. Offense is not simply how many points you score, it's how many rounds you take to get points. So cherish each round and try to convert each round into a score for your team. ”

"I see what you mean, the guy who scores 30 points in 20 rounds is much better than the guy who scores 35 points in 30 rounds, because his teammates will use the remaining ten rounds to score." Maddie fully understood this time, "I have to admit that you have a point, I'm going to change my training schedule. ”

"Come on, my genius friend, I need to talk to the rest of the team next."

***

"Gerrard, the league of the future is a three-point league, and a small forward who can't shoot a three-point shot has no job. Of the young players, only Magloyer is worse at shooting than you, do you want to switch positions and become a backup center? ”

"Tony and Michael, the defense of the two of you is so poor, I'm afraid only an old man like Dale can compare to you two in the whole team! Train hard! ”

"Heaton, you're from Europe. Aren't you Europeans very good at shooting and passing? Show me your skills! ”

"Jamal, you have to learn to control the fouls. Now you're averaging 3.7 fouls in 26 minutes per game. Being sent off doesn't help Hakim. ”

"Richard, was there enough humiliation from the Lakers last time? Train well and get revenge next time. ”

In this way, the newcomers continue to accept the guidance and analysis of Yuanfei, and gradually clarify the direction of development. The rocket is becoming more and more integrated into a single whole.
