Chapter Twenty-Eight: Get Injuries Out of the Field

The arena fell silent suddenly, except for the sound of Lu Fei's sneakers rubbing against the floor.

Brandon Roy looked at him in a daze: "Oh, it's so late, why do you still have to come to training?" We just finished today. ”

Roy thought it was incredible, the whole team except for him, didn't expect anyone to be a training maniac like him?

After winning the Montana Bobcats, the next game was against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas six days later, and the tired teammates would either find a place to relax and have a drink or two, like Nate Robinson, or fall asleep in their dorm bed like Anthony Washington.

Who will go to the stadium to train?

"Aren't you the same?" Lu Fei responded.

"......" Roy was speechless.

The reason why he came to train so late was only because of today's game, and he was deeply shocked by Lu Fei's performance in front of him.

For the first time, he knew that the game could still be played like this?

Off the ball, get rid of, shoot outside the three-point line.

Simple and efficient.

"What did you just say?" Roy suddenly remembered what Lu Fei said when he came in, his eyes widened and he asked, "You want to learn to play with your back?" ”

Lu Fei said: "Yes, didn't you find out?" As a shooting guard, I don't have the slightest back-to-back skills, and I'm going to suffer in the NBA. ”

Lu Fei opened the cart that locked the basketball on the side of the court, took out two basketballs from it, and dribbled the ball to Roy's side with both hands.

From the beginning of playing to the present, most of the techniques he has practiced are ball control, shooting, and breakthrough, relying on nothing more than his soft shooting touch and extremely fast speed, but he has never practiced back singles.

Roy looked at him and smiled: "Lu, you are too short, and your back is not suitable for you." ”

Back-to-back singles is a 1vs1 offensive style in which basketball players play 1vs1 singles with their backs to defenders close to the basket, and it is the earliest technical ability that interior players need to learn.

The best use of back-to-back singles is none other than Rockets legend "Big Dream" Hakeem Olajuwon.

Back-to-back singles have certain requirements for physical fitness and height, otherwise back-to-back singles are meaningless.

Even Michael Jordan, the basketball god on the outside, has evolved his back-to-back singles to the extreme, under the premise of his 198 cm height, strong bounce and perverted waist and abdominal strength.

Bounce and waist and abdominal strength may not be lacking, but height is a hard injury.

Lu Fei is only 187 centimeters.

This height is barely enough to play point guard, and if it weren't for Nate Robinson being shorter, it would really not be Lu Fei's turn to play point guard.

Lu Fei pouted: "Can I still grow taller?" You can teach or not, in exchange I can teach you how to play without the ball. ”

Playing without the ball?

Roy's heart moved, and he nodded, "Okay, then let's start." ”

He walked over and removed the chairs on the court, then took the basketball and began to demonstrate Lu Fei's back-to-back skills.

He started on the left side of the basket, leaned his back against Lu Fei, and dribbled the ball to the free throw line, at which point he stepped out of his hands with both feet and small jumps.

"The first step of dribbling is to use the body, buttocks, waist, side shoulders, etc. to give the defender proper pressure, but do not use brute force, the center of gravity must be stable."

Holding the ball with both hands, he explained: "When making physical contact, you should actively feel the center of gravity of the defender and the strength of the force, which will help the next offensive selection, and the direction of your first dribble is the opposite direction of the body after you receive the ball, remember to land with both feet at the same time, so that both of your feet can be used as the pivot foot." ”

He demonstrated it again, but this time the first step of the dribble was to go to the baseline, then turn and land with his back to the landing.

"At this time, you already feel the position of the defender through your shoulders and back, you just need to shake your shoulders, turn in the opposite direction and shoot or make a layup, if the opponent reacts quickly after turning around, you can take a step forward with a false shot, so that the opponent will either foul or watch you score."

Roy spoke very carefully, down to every direction, and every footstep would be demonstrated over and over again.

Lu Fei listened carefully, back-to-back singles are the regular scoring technique of basketball players in this era, but with the faster and faster pace of the NBA later, there are more and more offensive and defensive rounds. Lengthy positional battles have also been slowly abandoned by the times, and many offensive techniques are only used by a few players, including back-to-back singles.

Jordan Bryant's scoring weapon, but why did few players use the skill of back-to-back singles in the NBA later?

Because back-to-back singles not only require good physical fitness, but also need to polish their own skills for a long time.

In today's era when scoring under the basket is king, if the player will practice the back singles perfectly, it will be the point of the opponent's strict defense, but in the future era of small ball prosperity, the back single has become a bit chicken, it is a pity to abandon it, and it is tasteless to eat.

First of all, it is very easy to be caught in the back singles, and if the ball carrier has a poor reaction of half a beat, it is very easy to make mistakes. Even if the opponent doesn't make up for the defense, it is very physically exhausting to use the back body to score the ball in a single. In addition, the back-to-back singles are shot with a shot after all, and if the shooting rate is not high, it will be a little more than worth the loss, and a lot of unnecessary physical strength will be wasted in vain.

Lu Fei remembered that even Popovich, although he said that he hated three-point points when he faced the media, he actually encouraged players to shoot three-pointers in private, and even if the center had to pull out and shoot three-pointers, it could be said that it was the era of full-name three-pointers, which could not only reduce physical strength but also delay the player's career to a certain extent. At the same time, skills that are difficult to practice and do not work well are slowly abandoned.

But is the small-ball strategy necessarily good?

When the shooting rate of both sides is not high, it is also a very disturbing thing to watch the baskets on both sides bang bang bang bang iron all the time.

Lu Fei took the basketball and walked outside the three-point line, showing Roy how to get rid of the opponent's defense, how to adjust the rhythm of the body with the fastest speed, and ensure the shooting rate of three-point shots.

V-shaped reverse running, standing pile cover, all the ways to get rid of it, just for the final blow to hit.

This kind of shooting training is very boring and extremely physically demanding, there is no opportunistic shortcuts, just non-stop training, training.

The same way to get rid of it, the same shooting distance, the same shooting rhythm, until the body is familiar with this shooting environment and forms a shooting memory.

The two of them worked tirelessly, Lu Fei attacked Roy on defense, trained Lu Fei's back-body singles skills, Roy attacked Lu Fei on defense, Roy will use the fastest speed, use the chairs placed on the court, get rid of Lu Fei's defense, and shoot.

Sweat soaked the clothes of the two men, and the sound of basketballs hitting the floor in the arena kept echoing.

Roy put his arm against Lu Fei's back and gasped: "Lu, which of these two styles of play should you choose during the game?" ”

Lu Fei turned over and threw the ball into the basket and sat on the floor: "If you can beat the opponent with three points, you will naturally choose this easiest way, if the three-point shooting rate is not high, you will choose to play with your back to your back, and your back will not move, and then we will choose to change to the breakthrough of the emergency stop." ”

"In short, if you win the game, choose a way to prolong your career."

Lu Fei was lying on the floor looking at the dazzling light overhead, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - he didn't teach Roy to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup, but hoped that Roy could play even one more game.

Lu Fei only hopes that the injury will be rolled out of the court!
