Chapter 7 This is War

Let's have another chapter tonight to reveal the identity of the boss. Also, this chapter may be a little boring, talking about some of the technical essentials of playing basketball. Although there are more elements of self-nonsense, it can be regarded as a little experience of an old fan. The red tickets are all in the bowl! )

When Gan Guoyang held the ball, his back to the basket, and the giant boss behind him, he suddenly had a feeling of "facing the sea, chrysanthemums blooming".

Originally, Gan Guoyang wanted to learn some interior defensive skills first, because he was blown up by long legs last time, although he relied on small actions to catch one unexpectedly, but in general, the one-on-one duel between the two, Gan Guoyang was completely defeated.

The inner line should start from defense, and Gan Guoyang also understands this truth.

However, in the face of this giant boss, Gan Guoyang is basically blind if he wants to defend, and the difference in height and strength is too big.

The Giants boss is obviously aware of this problem as well, and he decided to start with the offense first, guiding him through the most basic interior positioning and positioning movements.

"There are two areas that are very, very important for an inside line. First, it's your ass. Speaking of buttocks, Gan Guoyang immediately felt a chrysanthemum tight.

"When you have a strong hip, then you can have a stable game when you are in position, and you can hold the position firmly and not let the opponent push you away easily."

The giant boss's words are very reasonable, Gan Guoyang thought that when he was fighting against Long Legs, Long Legs was constantly pushing himself with his butt and not giving him any chance to squeeze out.

"Second, it's your back. Once you've stabilized the game with your butt, you'll need to use your strong back to give yourself space to catch the ball. "The butt is used to occupy the territory, and the back is used for development.

The giant boss said, knocked Gan Guoyang's back with his fist, and shook his head. Obviously unhappy with his back muscles.

"Here, push your ass back! Let's see if you can push me away! The giant boss said to Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang knew that there was definitely little hope of topping the giant boss, but he still had to try, otherwise he would not be able to find and correct his mistakes.

So he began to pout his ass and arch back, but he was afraid that he would fall, so he had to lean forward.

In this way, he rubbed the giant boss like a wild boar rubbing the bark of a tree, and the giant boss was like a tree, taking root and not moving at all.

At this time, the giant boss fell forward with his center of gravity, and with a light push of the side span, he sent Gan Guoyang out. Gan Guoyang stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"No, the gap between my strength and yours is too big!" Gan Guoyang said with annoyance, the giant boss got himself away so easily, and it was like a mayfly shaking the tree to top him by himself.

"No, you're wrong. Although there is a big difference in our strength, more importantly, your method is completely wrong. "Boss Giant pointed the way.

"I told you that the butt is very important, but it doesn't mean that the card position is purely to use the butt to top. As you did, only your hips are exerting force, but your body's center of gravity is tilted forward, and your legs have to use most of their strength to maintain balance. The boss of the giant pointed out Gan Guoyang's mistakes in technical movements.

"In this case, you will not be able to concentrate the strength of your lower body, but you will cancel each other out; I didn't make good use of my weight and put my body weight elsewhere. ”

The correction of the boss of the giant reflects Gan Guoyang's extreme irregularity in basic technical movements. It's no wonder that he's never been exposed to even the most basic basketball training, just watching TV and drawing cats and tigers. At the same time, I also have the meager experience I have accumulated after playing for a few days in the United States.

However, Gan Guoyang is very smart, and the words of the giant boss can be said to have enlightened him.

He immediately understood that there was only a little place on the inside, and the closer to the basket, the more fierce the competition. If you want to occupy a place in the fierce battle with the other party, you must concentrate all your strength, including your own weight, to gain a competitive advantage.

Instead of fighting separately, they even have to restrain each other, so that no matter how strong they are, they can't play to their advantages.

"Okay, I see." Gan Guoyang nodded and decided to try again.

"OK, remember this time, put your weight in the back, and coincide with your power point! At the same time, pay attention to balance. ”

Gan Guoyang once again went into battle.

This time, he was no longer in a hurry to exert his strength, but relied on the body of the giant boss and began to find a suitable balance point, so that his center of gravity could be moved back and combined with the power point.

When his feet were firmly planted on the ground, and his whole body leaned back without falling, he felt it was time to exert his strength!

He gathered the strength of his waist, legs, and hips, as well as the weight of his entire body, and squeezed it back hard. It's like a brown bear, using his strong ass to push a boulder that blocks its way.

The boulder has loosened slightly!

The giant boss behind Gan Guoyang obviously didn't expect that the yellow-skinned boy who had just been gently pushed away by himself would suddenly burst out with such great power. Caught off guard, he couldn't help but take a step back, and his body was a little unstable.

Gan Guoyang, who felt the change behind him, was overjoyed, and he immediately took another step back with his right foot, lowered his center of gravity further, and sank his shoulders slightly, wanting to exert his strength again to push the giant boss away.

But now he miscalculated.

After the giant boss moved back a little, he once again remained motionless like a big iron gate, no matter how Gan Guoyang hit it. Not only did he not hit, but he also felt like he was being bounced off.

Now Gan Guoyang is deflated, it turns out that he can only take advantage of it slightly, and the giant boss can't take it seriously.

"Haha, a good young man, he can take advantage of a little bit." The boss of the giant praised Gan Guoyang, because he didn't expect that this young man would be able to comprehend the trick so quickly just by guiding him, although he still had a lot to improve.

"Really? But my strength is still too poor. Gan Guoyang was also a little excited, but when he thought that his strength was so poor, he was disappointed again.

"Strength is not something that can be practiced in a day or two, don't rush and take it slowly. I have some simple fitness facilities in my shop, so you can come to me and use them if you need them. ”

The proposal of the giant boss once again gave Gan Guoyang a surprise, he didn't expect that the problem of the gym would be solved. However, he didn't understand why the giant boss had to help such a stranger as himself so much.

So he asked, "Thank you, sir, but it's going to get you in a lot of trouble, you know, we... I don't have any friendships, and I'm upset to have your help like this. ”

"Hahaha, young man, I'm not a good guy who likes to help people casually. I love basketball too, and I can see you love it too. And in you I found a shadow of my past, although I had no problem blowing you up when I was your age. ”

Speaking of this, the giant boss smiled, and Gan Guoyang also smiled embarrassedly, his current level is indeed too poor.

"However, I don't have the talent of yours to comprehend the technical moves in basketball so quickly. I've only seen such a talent in one person before, and of course his type of talent is completely different from yours. So, I want to help you make a kid who loves basketball less detours. ”

Hearing this, Gan Guoyang's heart was both surprised and moved. Surprisingly, I didn't expect the giant boss to rate himself so highly, and he was moved by his willingness to help a stranger so selflessly - because of basketball.

"Thank you, sir, I think you must have done this out of love for basketball, and we're on the same page. So I accept your help, which is also a big challenge for me. I would like you to prove that your vision is not wrong! ”

Gan Guoyang's words made the giant boss laugh again, he hadn't felt so happy because of basketball for a long time, and he hadn't been so eager to step on the court again for a long time, and the flame of basketball was still burning in his heart.

"Alright, let's move on. I'm going to correct the mistake you made in the follow-up action after pushing me. The boss of the giant continued to criticize and correct Gan Guoyang's actions.

"You did a good job in the card position before, and the center of gravity and power point were well combined. But there is one thing you overlook, no matter how hard you stare in position, maintaining your body's balance comes first. You have to understand that you're not fighting people, you're playing basketball. It's okay to push people away in a fight, but you have to do other actions in basketball, so you must keep your body balanced and not put your body out of balance in order to exert force. ”

After Gan Guoyang succeeded in the "sneak attack" just now, he just wanted to squeeze the people behind him too much, but he lost his balance, and he was bounced off the giant boss.

Hearing this, Gan Guoyang realized that the card position is not just relying on strength, but a comprehensive technical work. It's no wonder that in the NBA of the 21st century, there are fewer and fewer people who play well on their backs, and there are so many ways to even the most basic card positions.

After accepting the guidance of the giant boss, Gan Guoyang tried a few more times, although because of the disparity in strength, the giant boss also became serious, and he was no longer able to squeeze the mountain behind him.

But he's already good at doing it, and he's no longer arching like a pouting monkey like he did the first time.

After more than a dozen times of practice, guidance, and correction, the boss of the giant felt that it was almost over, so he said: "OK, you have practiced well in the card position without the ball, and the speed of progress is really amazing." In the future, I will also teach you how to get stuck when you have the ball, and how to dribble after you get stuck. Now I'm going to show you how to use your back. ”

As mentioned earlier, the butt is used to occupy the territory, and the back is to seek development, and the lower body occupies the position, but the upper body can't be used, so it's really occupying the pit and not shitting.

After Gan Guoyang took a good position, he began to accept harassment from behind.

The boss of the Giants either used Handcheck to constantly push Gan Guoyang's back, or stretched out his long arms to cover Gan Guoyang's face, in this case, it was impossible for Gan Guoyang to receive the ball.

After trying a few times, Gan Guoyang found that even if he occupied a position, he couldn't attack. Although there is a reason why the Giant Boss's arms are too long and his strength is too strong, the key is that Gan Guoyang has no idea how to use his back to create a good offensive environment.

"The back is the largest and most complex muscle group in the human body, and it connects all the important parts of the human body. You should use your back as your brain to direct the coordination of your limbs. ”

"How to command? Let's look at it first. When you have your back to the basket, your eyes can no longer see the back, then you have to use your back as your eyes to 'see', to feel the power and intention of the defender from behind. Then adjust the rhythm of your posture. ”

The words of the giant boss can be said to have opened a new world for Gan Guoyang. It turns out that this is the case, and it turns out that he can also use his back to sense the opponent's defensive strategy, which is a new perception for him.

In the past, he thought that the center relied on strength, plus a little touch, as long as he squeezed under the basket, the hand felt better, and throwing the ball into the basket was not easy and pleasant?

But now he knew he had been very wrong. The center forward is not purely dependent on strength, the center is also a position that requires skill and more intelligence.

In this way, Gan Guoyang, who came to a new realm, began to devote 120% to this one-on-one guidance with the most curious eyes and the most serious attitude.

And the giant boss seems to be infected by the concentration of this young man, as if he has returned to his past youthful basketball years, and began to hand in hand and concentrate on correcting Gan Guoyang's technical movements.

From lunch to sunset, the two spent a whole afternoon under the basketball hoop in the open space outside the barbecue restaurant, learning and teaching one by one.

"---- haven't played basketball so seriously in a while." The boss of the giant was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water. After all, he is also forty years old, and the years are not forgiving, and his physical strength is not very good.

And Gan Guoyang was also out of breath, but he felt extremely happy.

"It's not early, I didn't go back at noon, and my dad should be worried about me. Thank you so much for today, and I feel very rewarding to receive so much guidance from you. I hope that next time you can go to Ganjia Restaurant for dinner, I will definitely ask my father to cook you a table of good dishes! Gan Guoyang's gratitude is beyond words.

"Hahaha, thank you, in fact, I haven't played so seriously for a long time, I'm really happy. However, while I've taught you some techniques and I'll point you more out in the future, there's one thing you should keep in mind. The boss of the giant suddenly became serious, and Gan Guoyang also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"The real game of basketball is a war, and the inside is where the battle is the most intense. A center forward has to fight like a warrior every moment on the court, either you die or I die. If you don't have the determination to fight your opponent for three hours, then no matter how good your skills are, how good your positioning and back, you are not a good interior lineman, you are not a real center. ”

"I understand that as a center, you have to die on the inside." Gan Guoyang said his oath. When the giant boss heard this, he also nodded in agreement, and his eyes seemed to burn with a long-extinguished brilliance.

"Alright, let's go back and see you tomorrow."

"Well, goodbye! Boss Giant! Gan Guoyang waved his hand out of the barbed wire gate and stepped on the way home.

But after walking a few steps, he remembered that he still didn't know the name of the giant boss. He looked back at the sign of the barbecue restaurant, and when he came before, he only noticed the word "barbecue", maybe the name of the barbecue restaurant was named after the owner.

And write down your name now, and tomorrow if you don't know the way, you can take a taxi.

“BigNatebarbecue…… Big Nate BBQ! It seems that this boss should be called Nate, and it's really big! The name of the shop was easy to remember, and he hurried home after writing it down.

Gan Guoyang didn't know that the owner of this big Nate barbecue was Nate Thurmond, a basketball celebrity from the Golden State Warriors who was selected as one of the top 50 NBA superstars in the future.

This is where his path as a centre-forward begins.
