Chapter 11: Crab Steps

Before the crossing, Li Mojie's physical fitness was only at the level of ordinary people, but he was mainly very jealous of James's extraordinary physical fitness, and often hacked James on the Internet. And blacks also have to look for information, if it's just brainless black, then it's not of much standard.

So Li Mojie looked up a lot of black material about James on the Internet.

recalled the emperor's black material, in addition to playing "brother basketball", there was also his ugly "four-step layup" stunt.

In fact, James's so-called four-step layup is a kind of confusion of the opponent under the reasonable use of the rules, which can also be understood as a kind of feint. If you want to learn this trick, you need to have a very solid foundation for scoring under the basket, and the strength of your fingers and wrists must be used properly, you must know that James is the league's current statistics of the "layup king (the highest layup shooting rate in the league)", until Marc Jie crossed, James's most scoring area was still the three-second zone.

In his previous life, in order to strengthen his very weak ability to score under the basket, he systematically studied James's crab step through dozens of basketball official accounts and videos of major websites, and even practiced it into his signature, but this technique is actually more suitable for Li Mojie, who has unparalleled physical fitness and excellent balance.

Zhan Huang's four-step layup, commonly known as the "crab step", is James' unique breakthrough and layup skills. In the rules of the basketball game, the layup is only allowed to step on the ground 2 steps, and the third step needs to jump, and James's crab step uses visual error to "violate" this rule with a revolutionary basketball understanding, in fact, if we look closely at slow motion, we will find that James has a false feint before the three-step layup, but because his control of the body can be called unparalleled, there are often people who think that it is impossible for him to shake his body without moving, so there will be the illusion of his "four-step layup".

James usually uses to take a step back when making a layup, then dribble quickly and break through with the ball, make two feints in a row and then jump with both feet off the ground, and use his physical advantage to change positions in the air and on the ground while keeping one foot in place, and finally complete the layup. Because of its extremely fast speed and crab-like movement, it is called a crab step by the American media.

Because of his large amplitude and fast speed, he lost control many times, and it was difficult for the referee to judge whether James was walking or not, and the crab step stunt once caused an uproar in the league and the media, and in October 2009, the league issued a new rule allowing players to take two steps with the ball before stopping, passing or shooting, which was equivalent to giving James a green light: this is the right thing to do.

After receiving "policy support", James's crab step cultivation became more perfect. Measuring 203 centimeters tall and weighing 113 kilograms, James often has a size advantage in the opposition of small forward, his main position, and he also has good speed, bounce and physical confrontation, which allows him to sometimes play the power forward position, and his main means of scoring is cutting to layups, dunks, and often resulting in three-point plays.

James' four-step layup is very distinctive, his first step is not as fast as Rose or Paul, he relies on his physical advantage to cling to the defender, finding the final offensive space in the confrontation, and then making a small jump to the basket. At this time, defenders who have lost their positions can generally only foul to block, but Zhan Huang's 2+1 ability is really outstanding, and fouls are sometimes meaningless.

To be proficient in using the crab step. To do:

1. Dribble, when dribbling, you should pay attention to the center of gravity of the defender when dribbling to choose a breakthrough route.

2. Start, if the starting speed is not outstanding enough, then try to use your body to support the opponent and choose a route with space to break through. When breaking, if you are dribbling with your right hand, use your left hand to protect others from being broken. When breaking through, keep your center of gravity as low as possible, your toes on the ground, and your heels up, ready to prepare for the next breakthrough or move your position.

3. Jumping, in the process of moving, looking for space to jump, lower the center of gravity, if you can try to have some physical contact with the defensive object, the shoulder is slightly hard to give the opponent some pressure, the purpose of this is to facilitate the opponent to keep up when jumping. Before jumping, dribble the ball quickly and with force, and then hold the ball with both hands while leaving your feet off the ground and quickly jump towards the space you have found before, and your shoulders will once again explode with power to press your opponent behind you.

4. Layup, when the jump step is completed, be sure to quickly jump again to complete a layup or shot. Here are several situations: the first is to directly tear open the space, which can complete a direct layup; In the second case, the space is not completely torn apart, and the better option at this time is to use a hook shot, which can avoid the inside block and increase the rhythm of the shot.

"Huh? What is Mo Jie going to do inside? The audience wondered.

"Power forward?"

"What the hell is this Chinese kid doing?" Antoine stared at Li Mojie and asked suspiciously.

I saw that Mo Jie, who had been holding the ball on the left and right wings, ran directly into the interior line unusually, and then Oscar passed to the substitute small forward Custer, who passed to Li Mojie, and then only heard the sound of "bang", Li Mojie stared at Antoine fiercely with his strong physical fitness.

"Wow." Antoine only felt as if he was being hit by a hammer, and then Li Mojie held the ball and jumped to break through the beaten Antoine, and then jumped to the left to avoid the opponent's No. 32 center who came to block, and smashed the basketball into the basket.

"Bang!"

"Walk, walk, how many steps did he take?"

However, the referee did not react on the court, although Li Mojie's layup was incoherent, but he was not enough to blow the penalty.

"It's been a long time since I've seen it, the storm buckle from our new California Magician on the 23rd!" Seeing this, the DJ at the scene roared angrily, at this time, it is too necessary for the core to stand up and make a violent buckle.

"Ness. Mo Jie can still play power forward?"

"What a new magician in California!"

"Fack!" Arroyo's high school basketball team coach and Antoine yelled.

"The counteroffensive has begun!" Marc Jay shouted at his morale-boosting teammates.

"Oh, kill them!" James was the first to jump out and yell.

"These boys." Coach Scott said with a wet look in his eyes off the court.

Then the game continued, and St. Gabriel's High School, one of the first and fourth elementary schools, began to run and bomb in order to chase the score.

On the defensive end, Mo Jie stared at the No. 21 power forward opposite, and the original run and bomb was equivalent to weakening the strength of No. 21, who dominated the inside line of San Gabriel High School in the first half, plus he was a big man of 2.06 meters after all, and his flexibility and speed were a little different from Mo Jie. So the more he played, the more unhappy he became, while Mo Jie played more and more, not only defending around the front, but also using his perennial follower of his father's Zama step in the lower set to make Rondo pick up the rebound.

Seeing that St. Gabriel High School quickly tied the score, the opposite head coach quickly called a timeout, and he didn't want to be overturned. After the Arroyo High School basketball team called a timeout, the players walked back to the bench dejectedly, they were beaten by the players of San Gabriel High School and lost their temper at all, and they couldn't keep running back and forth to catch up with others.

Unlike the dejected expressions of the Arroyo High School players, the San Gabriel High School players all looked elated.

"That dunk just now is so handsome, it's definitely the best five in the NBA!" After the game, James also talked to Marc Jie about the game with an excited face.

Soon, the timeout ended and the game resumed.

Oscar brought the ball to the frontcourt, and without waiting for Rondo to come up to block it, he handed the ball to Li Mojie on the inside. As soon as Majorer got the ball, the No. 21 power forward on the opposite side quickly pounced, Major's hidden hit passed the ball, Custer received the basketball and jumped high, and smashed the basketball into the basket with a one-handed slam dunk without difficulty.

"Magical passing, 85:80, St. Gabriel High School will continue to sail!" The DJ and the audience cheered in unison.
