Chapter Ninety-Eight: Passing Practice
Four players who passed the fitness test, in Voy (Steve. Coach Wojciechovsky led the way to an uninhabited field. Paulus was placed at the top of the arc, Nelson was in the bottom corner, and McRoberts was in a 45-degree high about 15 yards from the hoop.
Seeing the positions of the three teammates, Sun Yi understood that the next step should be shooting training. It's just that what makes him wonder is that Coach Woy didn't arrange for himself to shoot, but asked Sun Yi to feed his teammates.
There were two baskets in total, and after Paulus made the first shot at the top of the arc, Nelson made a second shot in the bottom corner. After Sun Yi got the rebound, he needed to pass to McRoberts, who was about to shoot. Then, continue to scramble for rebounds in the order in which they passed to Paulus, Nelson, and McRoberts......
Each set has a total of 50 balls, and a minimum of 40 goals or more can be rewarded for a five-minute break. If they don't, four people will have to be punished for a 25-meter switchback run.
……
With Nelson's shot missed, just three-quarters of the training session ended in failure. Coach K, who had been observing this group of players, showed a playful smile.
"Mike, are you sure you won't give him to me?" Coach Collinson, who was on the side, looked at the Chinese player who was turning back and running on the field, and said with a disappointed face.
"No, it's not yet." Coach K retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at his old partner. "On this current Blue Devils team, he's going to have to be a good point guard first."
"However, we all know that a good organizer needs too much time, and I'm afraid we can't afford to wait." Collinson was visibly puzzled by his old friend's decision.
"Oh! Old man, Son has great vision of the pitch and great passing ability, and he has the potential to be a great playmaker, but as you said, it's not the present but the future. "Coach K Lao cast his eyes on the players who were training with Coach James in the distance." If Sun can have the passing habits of a point guard, then the Blue Devils, who have just undergone a big change, will go further this year. ”
……
The continuous failures made these four guys who thought they had escaped have to make a very physically demanding switchback run. After completing the fifth set of punishments, the team's captain, Mike Roberts, had to gather a small meeting.
"Guys, it's not going to go on like this. It is estimated that before Coach James practiced those lazy guys in the summer vacation, we couldn't hold it first. ”
Paulus, who is 1.86 meters tall, showed a thoughtful expression, "Sun, your passing is very accurate, if we can improve a little bit according to each of our shooting habits, I think we should be able to complete this training." "In the end, he was a point guard, and he found a solution to the problem all of a sudden.
After hearing this, Sun Yi also felt that what the other party said was very reasonable, "Okay, let's give it a try." ”
Everyone knows that a very good pass can make the receiver feel comfortable to complete the shooting action, thus improving the shooting rate. So, how do you make a comfortable pass? The basic skills of the passer must be very solid, and strength and accuracy are indispensable. Secondly, you must know the shooting habits of your teammates well. Only by doing these two things well can you improve the shooting percentage of your teammates by passing the ball.
Paulus, who was standing at the top of the arc, looked at the ball flying towards the armpit of his right arm, and shouted in his heart, good pass! When he shoots, he has a habit of putting his weight on the right side of his body.
Nelson likes to catch the ball from his chest and finish shots. And power forward McRoberts is a left-handed player, and he prefers to come to the ball a little further to the left.
Sure enough, after a small change, this shooting drill didn't fail until Nelson missed his last shot. However, unlike the previous ones, these four little guys who failed to complete their training goals all showed confident smiles. When Coach Woe saw this scene, he tacitly glanced at the old Coach K not far away.
Finally, after the four-man shooting team completed three consecutive sets of drills, Coach Woy announced that their mission was complete this afternoon. Looking at his teammates who happily left the arena, Sun Yi silently picked up a basketball from the ground. After feeding the ball all afternoon, he found that passing is not a simple technique.
"Sun, why don't you leave?" Coach Woy, who had changed into a coat, came to the Chinese player with a smile on his face and asked.
"Coach, I just want to practice a little longer." Taking advantage of this moment, Sun Yi didn't want to be tortured by switchback running again in tomorrow's training.
"Oh, that's right." Coach Voy, the youngest on the coaching staff, seems to be very easy to deal with. "If you want to practice passing, I just know there's a good place."
After speaking, he took Sun Yi to a place full of scrapped tires in the stadium, and pointed to several car tires erected on it. "The inside diameter of these tires is just a little larger than the diameter of the basketball in your hand. If you want to practice your passing accuracy. ”
Looking at the young man with an eager face, the young coach continued: "Don't think it's easy, at first I recommend that you practice from a five-meter position. If you don't feel that this difficulty is enough, you can take a step back to increase the difficulty. Wait until you're ten meters away and be able to hit these tires accurately. I think your passing skills meet the basic requirements of a college point guard. ”
What the? That's the basic requirement. Sun Yi looked at the other party in surprise, and then retreated to a place ten meters away from the tire to feel the difficulty.
"Alright, I'll go first." Without waiting for Sun Yi to reply, Coach Woy left the stadium without any delay.
Bang! Bang! Bang! …… A guy who practices passing, his figure looks so lonely in this empty stadium!
……
The next afternoon's training was basically the same as the first day. However, today, Sun Yi's team only did one switchback run.
On the third day, ten groups of shooting drills were successfully passed. Before waiting for these four guys, enjoy the satisfying sense of accomplishment for a while. Coach Woy poured a basin of cold water on his head, "Do you think it's a pleasure to shoot with such a percentage in practice?" Starting tomorrow, the shooting training must reach 9 percent in shooting to pass. ”
Yes! Oh, my God! No way! A wail rang out among the four.
After Coach Woe increased the difficulty, this simple shooting training once again became a nightmare for Sun Yi's four. Every day after the team was disbanded, in addition to the player who practiced passing to the tires, there were three more teammates who practiced shooting......
