Chapter VII: Defense

A week is not long, and it is not short, but for a group of basketball novices, it is really difficult to practice anything in a week.

Even geniuses take time, and many things can't be achieved overnight!

However, Yao Mo is somewhat confident, after all, with his guidance, he must have played a lot better on the spot, compared to Yao Mo's lack of confidence, the five little ones are full of confidence, and they all believe that a week is enough for them to defeat the Stone Gang.

Whether arrogant or blind, ignorant or meaningless, who doesn't have a time when they are young and frivolous?

If only they pay lip service, but they are all using their own efforts to prove that they can defeat the Stone Gang.

The field is like a battlefield, which not only requires superb ball skills, exquisite cooperation, sophisticated tactical literacy, but also the self-confidence and domineering of the players, and the spirit of not being discouraged and not admitting defeat in the face of strong enemies, so as to win the strong with small and strong on the field!

Judging from the seriousness of the five elementary trainings, they are not arrogant, nor are they blind and ignorant, but they are ruined and leave no way out.

"Basketball is an offensive and defensive battle, defense is the shield, offense is the spear, a real strong team, not only the offense is strong, the defense is also terrifying to the opponent."

On the court, five small groups lined up in a row, opening their hips, half-squatting, and opening their arms, showing the appearance of five crabs.

"Old Yao, so that we can defeat the Stone Gang?" Jun Hao questioned, this action is not only not good-looking, but also feels that it has nothing to do with basketball.

"It's like, we're going to learn the best, and we're going to be the coolest!"

The little ones don't just learn to play to beat the Stone Gang, they also have some careful thoughts, such as showing off their skills in front of the girls they like.

Yao Mo said: "I have said before that practicing is a boring and hard thing, every basketball master is constantly repeating the same actions off the court, repeating and training, and paying unimaginable efforts and sweat before there is a moment of shining in front of countless people." ”

Jun Hao asked: "But, what's the use of us learning this?" ”

"It takes a lot of time to learn and practice for offense, and if you practice for a week, it basically won't be very effective, and against the Stone Gang, you will only be abused again. But defense is different, defensive moves are simple and practical, as long as you defend well, you have hope. ”

"We'll learn hard, as long as we can beat them." The five elementary schools seem to really see hope, and everyone listens and learns very carefully.

"Miracles are all created by people, and before the last moment, who knows the final result, come on!"

Yao Mo set up a more interesting defensive practice for Wuxiao.

Two defenses and one practice, two people defend with basketball defense rules, one person is responsible for running without the ball to attack, and the attacking side is not allowed to rush wildly and is not allowed to run out of the basketball area.

"Why are you standing so straight? Squat down, press your weight down, open your hands, and keep your eyes open...... Move under your feet, yes, move a little faster from side to side, and keep up with the speed......"

The court was full of scolding, and the five small schools had various problems in defense, either moving slowly, or the defensive action was not in place, or the overreaction led to misjudgment, and there were more actions of pulling, legging, and pushing......

Faced with such a problem, Yao Mo's solution is very simple, one word, punishment!

Five push-ups for defensive action is not in place, five push-ups for defensive fouls, and ten push-ups for defensive positions.

This night, the five children complained bitterly, and each person did no less than 100 push-ups, so that the back was basically done on the ground, and five lying corpses were created.

"Now I finally know that learning basketball is not easy, right? Is there anything you want to give up? It's still too late......"

Yao Mo sat on the tattered table, looking at Wuxiao with a smile, with an indifferent look on his face, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

Giving up means they're going to lose to the Stone Gang again, and they're not going to agree to that.

"You want us to give up, no way!" Jun Hao is always the first to make a statement.

"That's it!"

"Master is not afraid of you!"

The five little mouths were hard, and at this time they were all lying on the ground softly, their hands were so sore that they didn't even have the strength to hold them up, and their mouths were still unrelenting.

"It's good, hard mouthed!" Yao Mo smiled, very satisfied in his heart.

Although such a child king is naughty and mischievous, he has a kind of ruthlessness and tenacity in his bones, and he does not give up easily or admit defeat easily......

The training was hard and intense, and they woke up the next day to find their arms sore and the slightest lifting of their hands to feel the sharp pain.

At the end of the first day, the freshness in Wuxiao's heart was gone.

Night fell again, and in Yao Mo's somewhat uneasy waiting, Wuxiao appeared as scheduled, and directly started the fight as soon as he came up.

"Let the horses come!"

Wuxiao gritted his teeth and opened his arms and shouted at Yao Mo.

This scene immediately amused Yao Mo.

"It's still two defenses and one training, but the punishment has been changed from push-ups to sit-ups!" Yao Mo smiled.

"Ahh The elephant screamed, and the sit-ups were his dead end.

"What? Questions? ”

"Can you exchange it for other punishments, the elephant's size can't do it." Jun Hao explained that among the five people, the elephant has the worst waist and abdominal strength, and he usually can't do a sit-up.

"Do you still want to learn? We have a game against the Stone Gang in a few days, do you want to win them? Yao Mo said.

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do." Yao Mo interrupted, "Didn't you say that they were very united? He can't do it, you can help him do it! ”

At the instigation of Yao Mo, Wuxiao happily agreed.

Soon, their confidence began to waver, and the sit-ups were even more difficult than push-ups, and after a few rounds, half of the team had fallen, leaving the two twin brothers barely on their feet.

Although Junhao and the dock couldn't get up, they gritted their teeth and didn't give up.

This scene fell in the eyes of the elephant, and his heart suddenly made waves, he has always been the most important link in the chess gang, but at this time, he can only watch other friends grit their teeth and persevere, like an outsider, he is not a person who drags his feet, and he is not willing to be such a person.

"Ahh

The screams on the pitch were one after another, and it was not destined to be an ordinary night.

On the third day, when they came back again, Yao Mo changed the rules again, this time to sprints......

The time of the game is approaching, and the five children are still immersed in this painful training, and none of the five people are left behind, and they all grit their teeth and persist.

For all this, Yao Mo was happy in his eyes and in his heart.

At first, I accidentally saw the five children fighting in a group and was impressed by their team battle tactics, and the idea of teaching them basketball was germinated.

On the court, the elephants and the pier launched a crab formation and waited for them, and opposite them, Jun Hao, who was known for his small and fast spirit, was restricted by them near the three-point line at this time.

"Move a little faster...... Spread his arms to interfere with his progress...... Keep your eyes peeled and watch out for his feints......"

"Dock, pay attention to your hands, don't pull people, and block the opponent's offensive route in advance with foot movements......"

On the side, Yao Mo constantly gave guidance to the elephant and the dock, and under his guidance, Jun Hao's speed and dexterity were greatly limited.

In order to cross the defensive formation formed by the elephant and the dock, Jun Hao sometimes went to the right, sometimes to the left, sometimes rushed forward, sometimes retreated, there were feints in the middle, all kinds of turns, and he could not get rid of the defense of the two, and his forward route was always blocked by two figures.

A group of five minutes, the cannon and Ji Zai in the next group are even more exaggerated, Jun Hao, who is directly defended, is dizzy, both of them are the champions and runners-up of the grade sprint, and the speed of the left and right traversal is too fast.

It looks like a game-like training, but it actually has a great effect on practicing defense, and in this case, it can train reaction sensitivity, foot movement ability, judgment ability, etc.

After a few days, the five little guys also have some experience of their own defense, and it has also allowed them to get rid of their bad habits a little, especially the dock, after two days of training, they basically will not get started easily, and they will not pull people and hold them again.

"Defense is nothing more than to prevent the opponent from scoring, and there are only a few ways to score, shooting, layups, dunks, now you are too young, dunks are too far away from you, the rest is to go up and shoot, generally a little bit of the foundation may have one or two layups in the game, but at your current level, it is basically shooting."

For some details of defense, Yao Mo personally demonstrated, for children of this age, there are few jumpers who can stop and shoot, they are all fixed-point shots, and it becomes very easy to limit fixed-point shots at this age.

Of course, when encountering some breakthrough ability is more prominent, Yao Mo also did enough demonstration, which is somewhat aimed at the meaning of stones, after all, the stone gang has a stronger breakthrough ability of stones, and the last time the dock hugged and fell, pulled people, Yao Mo saw it in his eyes.

"Forty centimeters away from the attacker, to prevent the attacker from suddenly initiating a breakthrough, to leave enough space for himself to return to the defense, to spread his hands and shake constantly, to interfere with his passing route, and to interfere with his shooting vision." This is what Yao Mo said when he opened a small stove for the dock alone.

Although the dock doesn't talk much, he is the fastest learner of things, and seems to have a different talent for defense.

"The basket is the last lane of the position, here is the end point of the opponent's offense, and it is also the initiation point of the opponent's offense, not only to prevent the opponent from scoring, but also to control the rebound, because after getting the rebound, you can switch offense and defense, and you can attack the opponent's position."

Yao Mo stood under the basket and said to the elephant: "The defense here is divided into two parts, first to defend the opponent to score, and then to get stuck and grab the rebound!" ”

Yao Mo once again demonstrated in person, he talked very carefully about the defensive essentials under the basket, and he still talked a lot about the card position, and it is not an exaggeration to teach by example.

Soon, the elephant was seen on the training ground constantly practicing squats, because Yao Mo said that practicing squats can increase the strength of the lower limbs, so that in the card position, the opponent will not be squeezed out of the way because of the lack of strength in the lower game.

In response to some details of defense, Yao Mo conducted some small coaching according to everyone's position and ability, and everyone achieved great results.

Now, the defense of a few little guys is already in shape. In addition to Yao Mo's good teaching, the efforts of the little guys themselves are also impressive.

After a few days of getting along, Yao Mo also has a certain understanding of the children in front of him, Jun Hao is calm, has a good view of the overall situation, and is suitable for taking the helm, just like his nickname, general; Elephants are tall and strong, but move slower, making them suitable for guarding baskets; Twin brothers, excellent speed, good reach, good for flanks; Dock defense shots, with good judgment, suitable for outside defense.

In short, the characteristics of the five are distinct, but the shortcomings are equally distinct.
