Chapter 14, Shooter Li Linlin
Coach Brooks walked over.
The rest of the players are still training on their own, after all, everyone has their own training plan, and it is extremely important to grasp the hard-won training time in the middle of the season, each player has his own shortcomings exposed in the game to make up, and those who do not have the opportunity to play need to maintain their condition through training with the ball.
Otherwise, if you are sent on the field during the game and then you are not in good shape, then no one is to blame.
"Li Forest said he was a shooter, and I came here to do a test on him." Jack replied as he looked at Brooks.
Li Forest touched his head and said, "Coach Brooks, my shooting percentage has stabilized recently, and I want to reposition." ”
At this time, Li Linlin had to fight for his own future, Li Linlin never felt that the ball was so hot, and other marginal players wished that they had the ball in their hands and had a special tactical design for themselves to play.
"Oh. OK, then you do the test, I'll take a look at it too. ”
This is interesting, Brooks thought he knew a lot about Li Forest before, but Li Forest suddenly broke out in the game against the Lakers and showed a strong scoring ability, which was beyond his expectations, so now he is a little unconfident in his judgment of Li Forest Forest.
“OK。”
"Lee, do you have a problem doing five sets of three-point shooting tests?"
One set is a hundred, a total of five hundred.
A large number of shots are easy to measure relatively real data. Otherwise, it is very irresponsible to let an NBA player shoot only 10 balls to determine his shooting percentage.
It's not surprising that players with average shots shoot 9 out of 10 when they feel good.
A player who shoots very well, and when he has a bad hand, he can shoot 2 out of 10 as well.
The feel is a wonderful thing, and this is also because the base is too small, only 10 shots are made, which is far from enough for the shooter to show his strength.
A large part of the difference between a shooter and a non-shooter lies in the ability to adjust to the sense of the hand, and the shooter can quickly turn back the bad form with muscle memory.
A large number of shots can test the difference between a shooter and a non-shooter, and of course, the hand size, the speed of the shot, and so on.
Ray Allen, an All-Star before the SuperSonics, is one of the top shooters in the NBA, and the Thunder naturally knows no less about shooters.
These five sets of shooting machines are placed in the bottom right corner, with a 45-degree slope on the right side, and at the top of the arc, the left side is 45 degrees, and the left corner is at the bottom corner, just like the three-point contest.
Li Forest stood in the bottom corner on the right side, adjusted his breathing, made preparations, and then greeted Jack, who was pressing the timer, to signal that it was time to start.
Li Linlin read a sentence silently, and at the beginning, picked up the basketball on the shooting machine, jumped on the spot, leaned back slightly, and shot, with a high arc.
"Huh!"
The first three-point shot from the bottom corner.
Soon, Li Forest picked up another one.
"Huh!"
Same pose, second hit!
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Box" "Box" "Boom" "Boom"
……
Soon, 100 three-point shots in the bottom corner were finished, and Li Linlin didn't have the heart to remember how many hits, but he knew that he had played beyond his level.
Jack looked at the record next to him, "81 hits in the bottom corner." He was surprised.
Coach Brooks also became more and more surprised, this Li Forest is too hidden, he didn't show any potential as a shooter in the past 20 days, and he didn't show it until today, what is the situation?
Li Linlin came to the right side at an angle of 45 degrees, wiped the sweat on his head, a hundred in a row, for his average physical strength, he was indeed a little tired, but it didn't matter.
Pick up the basketball and move on, the posture is standard.
"Box" "Box
……
Soon, the second group was also finished, and Jack's note read, "78 hits at a 45-degree angle on the right side," and then, Lee Forest rushed to the top of the arc.
Because the whole test was very long, the Thunder players who were still training were attracted by the excitement here.
"Li is really amazing, so accurate!" Collison said.
"yes, it's much more accurate than me." Westbrook, who had just finished the morning with Li Linlin, said.
"Haha, Russell, who is not more accurate than you." Jeff Green complained that as soon as Wei Shao made a shot, he had to go in and grab the rebound, and he was also surprised, which seemed to be different from the Li Forest he knew before.
"Well, it's pretty good, the hand size is very standard, I admit he's a shooter." Durant, who finished the second group after watching Li Forest shoot, said.
The Thunder's players are talking on the sidelines......
Rush to the third point, the top of the arc, the same posture, jump up and lean back to throw your hand.
"box", "box", "box", "box", "box",
……
"75 hits at the top of the frontal arc."
Li Linlin's footsteps were a little slower, and he shot three sets in a row, which was extremely physically exertional.
Come to the left 45-degree angle and take a deep breath.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Box" "Box" "Boom" "Boom"
……
"71 hits from 45 degrees on the left side"
Li Linlin's physical strength was close to the limit.
Still, he made it to the bottom left corner.
This time it took longer, and my hands were a little shaky.
"box", "box", "box", "box", "box",
……
"69 hits in the bottom corner".
When he threw the last ball, Li Linlin lay directly on the floor, his hands were weak, and he couldn't even hold himself up.
At this point, Jack and Brooks looked at the notes and were dumbfounded.
"374 three-point shooting overall, 74.5 percent overall"
What is this level?
The supersonic Ray Allen shot about 80 percent of his three-pointers from three-point range at the time.
Meaning, Lee Forest is only 5 points below Ray Allen's three-point shooting percentage. In terms of open shots, they are among the top shooters in the NBA......
Of course, there won't be so many open shots in NBA games.
But a shooter at this level means that he needs to be marked at all times, and the effect of no one being on guard is a 75% chance of enjoying his three-point accuracy.
This is simply a benefit for the Thunder.
In the past, Durant and Westbrook often needed to play one-to-two, one-to-three.
Now if Li Linlin is also on the field, then at least they can help contain one person's strength, so that the defensive pressure faced by Shuangshao is not so great.
The more Brooks thought about it, the more excited he became, this Li Forest was simply his lucky star, and his infinite singles tactics could be carried forward......
If Li Forest knew Brooks's thoughts, he would probably shoot Brooks to death with a brick.
Lao Tzu is a shooter, just to contain the fire?
You didn't even want to design a tactic for me, and you spent the whole day thinking about your "heads-up" tactical .......
"Lee, yes, with exhaustion of physical strength, the last group still has a 69% hit rate." Brooks said with a smile to Li Linlin, who was lying on the ground.
"Well, coach, I'm a shooter......" Li Linlin continued weakly.
"Well, well, you're a shooter, but your physical strength doesn't seem to be very good." Brooks said.
"Stokeci, you make a note that Lee needs to strengthen his physical training." Brooks said to the strength and conditioning coach next to him.
Stockers is in charge of the physical training of the players, and the training method is more difficult......
Li Linlin, who was lying on the ground, heard the bad news and didn't want to get up.
Brooks glanced at Jack and signaled that he would go out with him for a meeting, and Brooks needed to rearrange Lee's role positioning, and to discuss Lee's tactical arrangements with Jack.
