Chapter 114: Rookie Wall
Seeing that Old Curry said this, Ye Feng was even more embarrassed.
But the elder Curry was very dedicated, and he had the attitude of taking a penny and doing a penny.
"Actually, before I came to Cleveland, I had seen all the videos of you fighting. I guess what you're struggling with right now must be your rookie wall. ”
Curry Sr. said.
When Ye Feng heard this, his eyes looked at Old Curry even more differently, he really deserved to be a shooter, and he was extremely rigorous in his life.
This is not an exaggeration.
Fans who are familiar with Ray Allen should know that Ray Allen, as a famous marksman in NBA history, is also famous for his paranoia, and he is extremely strict with himself.
When shooting, how much the arm is bent, where is the auxiliary hand placed, how much distance is there between the feet, and how many degrees...... There are strict standards for these things, and there must not be a little perfunctory.
Why?
Quite simply, because the state of people has ups and downs. is as strong as Jordan and Kobe, and there are times when they are in poor condition and crazy about iron.
As a basketball player, the shooter needs to maintain a high level of performance at all times. Once the state is not good, and you can't shoot the basketball, it becomes a moving stake, which is useless.
So what to do?
In order to mitigate the effects of poor form, shooters tend to set strict standards for themselves in normal times, develop deep muscle memory, and imprint how to shoot in their bones.
In the long run, shooters will develop strict living habits and be very rigorous in their conduct and work.
(Of course, this is just a relative statement.) )
"Yes!"
Ye Feng nodded in acknowledgement.
He does feel like he's being blocked by the rookie wall right now, a little overwhelmed, and desperate to get a way around the rookie wall.
Curry Sr. smiled and continued, "After watching your game, I actually have a rough idea of what your problem is. However, I also want to take a look at your physical test report first, and then come up with a specific solution! ”
"Really?"
Ye Feng was inexplicably surprised, the step of finding Old Curry was really the right one.
After finishing their meal, the three of them rested for a while, and then drove to the basketball hall rented by Ye Feng.
In the basketball hall, Ye Feng took out the recent physical test report.
Ye Feng was born in 1982.
Height: 188 cm barefoot, 190.7 cm with shoes.
Arm span: 200 cm.
Bounce on the spot: 72.5 cm, run-up height: 84 cm.
100 meters speed: 11.03 seconds.
Body fat percentage: 6.53%.
Bench press: ......
After reading it, Old Curry's eyes were obviously lit up when he looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's physical measurement data is very good, aside from strength, other data are above average.
In particular, height and arm span have an advantage over most players in the No. 1 position.
Of course, power rivalry is very important in the NBA, and it is a matter of survival.
After that, Lao Curry pulled Ye Feng to do some basic exercises, combined with the video of Ye Feng's competition, Lao Curry made a general evaluation of Ye Feng's various skills.
Running technique: Lower medium.
Physical fitness: upper to lower.
Traversing speed: Superior.
Passing Level: Medium.
Possession level: Upper medium.
Defensive: Lower Average (No. 1), Inferior (No. 2).
Open three-pointers: Top tier.
Breakthrough ability: upper to lower.
Pitch level: inferior (against the middle), upper (no against the opponent).
Finishing ability under the basket: Inferior.
......
When they got here, the two finally stopped, drank the sports drink handed over by Zhang Mofu, and chatted while resting.
"First of all, you need to know what a rookie wall is!"
Old Curry didn't seem to be in a hurry to tell Ye Feng, but guided him little by little.
The so-called rookie wall is that NBA players have weaknesses found in their rookie season and are infinitely targeted.
In fact, it's not just your rookie season, every NBA player, as long as you have weaknesses, you will be targeted all the time.
It's just that the psychological quality of the rookie is relatively poor, and once it is targeted, it is difficult to bypass, unlike the old players who can deal with it calmly and patiently crack it.
"So, it's easy to get around the rookie wall, just eliminate your weaknesses!"
Curry Sr. said.
"So, my weakness is the poor strength confrontation, once I am pressed, the shooting rate drops significantly, I need to improve the confrontation as soon as possible?"
Ye Feng asked.
"No!"
Old Curry smiled mysteriously.
"The confrontation of power is your greatest weakness, but it's definitely not what you need to change the most right now, and it's not something that can be changed overnight."
Strength is such a thing, without gaining weight, without accumulating training, it is difficult to complete qualitative improvement.
"This?"
Ye Feng was a little confused, what is his biggest weakness now?
"Don't you think you're a little too dependent on the three-point shot right now?"
Old Curry didn't expect Ye Feng to find out by himself, otherwise Ye Feng would have solved it a long time ago. The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
“......”
Hearing Old Curry's answer, Ye Feng was shocked.
"I've watched your games, the earliest was in pre-season. Back then, you were even thinner than you are now, and your best tactics were three-point shots. But you also have a good hand to break through and shoot after breaking. But now, I can't see your breakthrough at all! ”
Curry Sr. continued.
Indeed, Ye Feng was shocked again.
Since the beginning of the regular season, Ye Feng's breakthrough has almost disappeared.
Why is that?
Because there are three major points of attack with the ball in the team, no! It's the Big Four.
James, Ilgoskas, Davis, Boozer!
There is no need for Ye Feng to attack with the ball at all, and it is not Ye Feng's turn to attack with the ball. Just wait for the three-pointer in the open spot.
This is also the most important thing a shooter should do.
"Your thinking is absolutely wrong!"
Curry Sr. said.
Shooters, not as you say, as long as you can shoot three-pointers, that's just the lowest level of shooters.
It's only a three-point shot, and once you're targeted, you're scrapped.
A true shooter needs to be able to run, break through, and play singles with his back......
Look no further than Hamilton and Peja, both of whom are masters of movement and are the best in the league. Coupled with the cover of teammates and the bonus of the team's tactics, the opponent is not aiming at them at all.
Look at Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and Michael Reed, these three are known as sharpshooters, but their breakthrough ability is not inferior to long-range shooting.
If you look at me again, even though people like to call me a shooter, when I play, I actually break through a lot more than I shoot from a distance.
......
No famous shooter can shoot three-pointers!
"Obviously, in other people's impressions, you are now a person who can only shoot three-pointers and nothing else, how can you not be targeted?"
"Now, there are two ways to solve this problem! First, let Paul add your running tactics and the whole team to cover you. Second, you make the change yourself. ”
Old Curry let Ye Feng choose by himself.
But obviously, Ye Feng didn't choose these two paths, and he knew how to go at a glance.
