Chapter 257: New Technology

Hearing Lewis's voice, Gan Guoyang and Olajuwon both stopped the confrontation and watched Coach Lewis come over.

Lewis took the ball from Gan Guoyang's hand and said to Olajuwon first: "Akim, your defense is not too problematic, but the strength is a little lost, I didn't expect that among the players in the same year, there are still people whose strength and lower handicap are better than you." ”

Olajuwon didn't switch to basketball until junior high school, but he was extremely talented, and during his years at the University of Houston, he perfected his skills in all aspects

In the regular season last season, when Gan Guoyang singled Olajuwon, he mainly used the hook technique.

Since Gan Guoyang has the advantage in strength, once he pushes Olajuwon out of the way and gets the space to hook his shot, then Olajuwon can basically only do it.

However, Olajuwon further stepped up his strength training after the season, while consulting with Moses Malone on defensive hook techniques.

In several confrontations at the University of Houston, Gan Guoyang found that it was no longer so easy to get rid of Olajuwon's hook shot, and other offensive methods were greatly reduced in the face of Olajuwon.

"And Ganyou, you are too obsessed with your sky-hook, you must know that you are not Abdul-Jabbar, in this world, there is only one sky hook, no matter how close your technical movements are, you don't have the physical conditions and offensive experience like Abdul-Jabbar. But you also have your strengths, so you have to play to your strengths and have more offensive means. Lewis then said to Gan Guoyang.

Lewis is right, no matter how refined Gan's hook is practiced, he is always a 6-foot-10 tall center, and it is impossible to have the huge advantage that Abdul-Jabbar's 7-foot-2 height brings.

There are many times when Abdul-Jabbar can ignore the opponent's defense and sacrifice the heavenly hook, and in the face of the same situation, Gan Guoyang's difficulty is much greater.

Gan Guoyang also has a deep understanding of this, for example, against a 7-foot-2 giant like Jill Moore, Gan Guoyang's big hook is very limited, which is one of the reasons why he plays generally against the Spurs.

Gan Guoyang's other offensive methods are sometimes ineffective, and the mid-range shot did not show its power until the playoffs against the Nuggets; The basket attack can only break out occasionally, and there is no way to continue to output; The turn-over jumper is still in practice, and it needs to be strengthened.

Gan Guoyang's footsteps are very solid and outstanding, but the situation of passing the opponent clean in one step does not occur every time, and there is no era of defense for three seconds, and it is impossible to break the opponent's bag by relying on his footsteps.

"Coach Lewis, what should I do? I feel like I can do a lot of things and I'm okay, but obviously I need to improve further, but I don't know where to start. Gan Guoyang asked suspiciously.

"The improvement of technology is slow, no technology can be fast, it needs to learn, repeatedly temper, put into actual combat, summarize experience, improve and improve, and then put into actual combat, over and over again. As for you, I think you'd love to be able to shoot well, and be able to make beautiful turnaround jumpers like Akim. I believe that one day you will be able to master this technique. But the problem with you now is that you don't take stock of your strengths, let alone use them. You just think it's going to look great, I'm going to learn it, and then I'm going to be able to win races with it...... I know Akim sometimes thinks the same way...... But everyone has flaws and strengths, and it is more important to play to the strengths than to make up for the shortcomings. Gan, what do you think are your strengths? and Akimby. Lewis lashed out his attitude to attacking technique and then asked Gan.

"Me? I think...... My strength, and ...... Presumably flexibility...... And the looks......"

"I'm a handsome guy in the blacks!" Olajuwon apparently expressed strong dissatisfaction with Gan's answer.

Coach Lewis smiled and ignored Olajuwon's protests, nodded and said, "You are indeed slightly more handsome than Akim, of course worse than me...... But you're right, Akim's strength and flexibility are already the best among basketball players, but you have more strength and more flexibility than Akim, which strikes me as incredible, because muscle mass tends to affect flexibility and flexibility, and I don't know how you can do both. It's great that flexibility allows you to hook your hands like Abdul-Jabbar, but you lose sight of your power, which seems to be only used in the position, and once you have the ball and start attacking, you don't know how to use it properly. ”

Lewis saw in Gan Guoyang's attack that Gan Guoyang had a lot of strength and was extremely stable in the lower game, so he couldn't get stuck with Gan Guoyang when he was stuck in Olajuwang.

And when Gan Guoyang attacked with the ball, Gan Guoyang began to constantly fight for space for hooks.

The advantage of the "Tiangou" technique is that once you shoot, you basically ignore the defense, and whether you can enter or not depends on the feel; And his disadvantage is that he is slow to shoot and needs to shoot calmly.

Tiangou is not just a hand action, but a set of coherent technical movements with the whole body participating, which requires turning, leg lifting, arm swinging, and wrist shaking, the process is relatively complex and the process is long.

For a giant like Abdul-Jabbar, it's the same whether you seal it or not, so he needs less space to hook his hand.

And Gan Guoyang is only 6-foot-10, and a block maniac like Olajuwon still interferes with him greatly, so he needs more room to shoot.

In the process of fighting for space to shoot, Gan Guoyang's power played an important role, but now Lewis says that he did not use his strength advantage well.

"It looks like I still need to do more strength exercises, I haven't systematically improved my strength for a month......" Gan Guoyang thought Lewis was saying that his strength had regressed.

Lewis shook his head and said, "No, no, Gan, I didn't mean that, I mean, you don't need to make such a big effort, but in the end it's just a big hook." Why don't you try a normal hook and don't dodge Akim to shoot a sky hook after gaining space, but instead face Akim on his head and hook the ball into the basket, you know what I mean? ”

"You mean, with a small hook hand?" After listening to it, Gan Guoyang understood what Lewis meant, asking him to use a small hook instead of a big hook.

The main difference between the small hook and the big hook is that the original four action links - turning, leg lifting, arm swinging, wrist shaking, remove two of the links - leg lift and arm lifting, that is to say, turn around while holding the ball up, turn around and directly raise the hand and shake the wrist, and throw the ball out.

Eliminating the small hook after the two links, the action is more concise and fast, and there is no longer a need to squeeze out more action space, and the flaw is that the range is short, and the second is that it is easy to be interfered by the opponent's confrontation.

"That's right, it's a small hook, since your power has an advantage, then you have to maximize your strength, from the card position, to squeeze the space, to make moves, to complete the shot, you have to keep fighting, not after gaining space, use a big hook, this does not necessarily work well for you, remember, you are not Abdul-Jabbar."

After Lewis finished speaking, Gan Guoyang also felt that it made sense, and he decided to give it a try according to what Lewis said, he thought that since he could do it in the sky, he should be able to do it with a small hook.

After saying that, Lewis retreated to the sidelines, while Gan Guoyang and Olajuwon began to play under the basket.

Olajuwon knew that Gan Guoyang was going to make a small hook this time, but he still couldn't affect Gan Guoyang's key position, Gan Guoyang's key position technique was too solid, and it took root on the edge of the three-second zone.

Lewis saw the timing and hoisted the ball to Gan Guoyang, who successfully received the ball.

"I know what you want to do, try it." Olajuwon said he gained a lot of confidence in this training session and believes he can surpass Gan.

Gan Guoyang didn't speak, he began to think about the action route in his mind, because he rarely practiced small hooks before, unlike big hooks, all movements have long been engraved in his mind, and there is no need to think about it.

"Use your powers!" Lewis shouted from the side, as if Gan Guoyang was his disciple at this time.

As a result, Gan Guoyang began to push in like a bulldozer, and his strength was so abundant, not only because of his "talent", but also because of the hard training he had.

When Gan Guoyang was fighting against Olajuwon before, he mainly wanted to squeeze out the space for a big hook, so his force was inconsistent, because he had to retract his strength to do hook moves at any time.

But now it's different, Gan Guoyang is just squeezing in with all his heart, and now Olajuwang is a little unable to stand up, which can be said to be retreating.

"Turn around!" Lewis shouted, and at this time Gan Guoyang had already squeezed under the basket.

Gan Guoyang took advantage of the situation to elbow the ball and turned, jumped with both feet, lifted the ball over his head, and hooked his hand in front of the basket!

At this time, Gan Guoyang could feel that although Olajuwon did not jump, in order to prevent Olajuwon from getting up, Gan Guoyang was leaning hard to press Olajuwon, which affected the balance of his shooter.

If he uses a big hook, he should squeeze Olajuwon away, stride in the middle, and then complete the hook move, during which he will be interfered with by Olajuwon's block, but he doesn't have to fight against Olajuwon.

"Phew!" The ball smashed on the neck of the basket, and it was obvious that Gan Guoyang's shot was still affected.

But the ball bounced off the neck of the basket to the front of the basket, bounced a few more times, and finally stumbled into the net.

"You know what I'm going to do, and you can't stop me, Akim." The ball was scored, and Gan Guoyang immediately shot back at Olajuwon, looking very pity.

Olajuwon stood there with his waist crossed and depressed for a while, he still didn't understand how this yellow man could be so powerful.

Until he encountered that monster in 1992, Olajuwon had never encountered a more terrifying guy than Gan Guoyang's strength.

And now, his attacking tactics are even more diverse.
