Chapter 55: Shooting Talent

Since NBA star Steve Curry and his Golden State Warriors achieved great success in the 2014-2015 season, the "small ball storm" set off by them has swept the world, and the three-point shooting has become a new trend in basketball, and teams are also competing to imitate the Warriors' configuration and style of play.

Fast pace, erratic movements, and unexpected shots, this is the essence of "small ball tactics".

The birth of "small-ball tactics" broke the concept of respecting the inside line in the basketball world, and the sentence "whoever wins the inside line wins the world" was even more slapped in the face.

Inside gods including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, Hakim Olajuwon, and others have all scoffed at the "small ball".

However, compared with the "ancient interior god" like Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan is not too exclusive to "small-ball tactics".

Jordan is originally from the outside, and he believes that since it can become the mainstream, since the actual combat is really effective, then the "small ball tactic" must have its merits.

As a result, he integrated the "small ball tactics" into his traditional training methods, creating a set of faster and stronger "Joe's shooting training methods".

As the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan immediately passed on this training theory to the juniors on the team, and he expected these guys to take it to the next level, but the result was not satisfactory.

The reason is that Jordan's original training method is quite difficult, and combined with the "small ball tactics", it is simply difficult to get to the sky.

Even active NBA players struggle to complete all ten difficult workouts, let alone Roy.

Based on Jordan's judgment of Roy's talent, Roy has to learn this, even if he practices here day and night, without spending ten days and half a month, it will definitely not be effective.

"Roy, old rule, my training is divided into ten difficulties, each difficulty can be tried ten times, but today's training is not easy, I bet you can complete the difficulty five, and now the best Kemba Walker in my team can only reach the difficulty seven."

Jordan teased Roy happily, and he still remembers Kemba Walker's complaints after experiencing the "Joe's Shooting Drill".

"The training difficulty set by the boss (Jordan) is impossible for Kobe Bryant to complete, and maybe Kobe's shooting percentage is worse than mine."

That's right, the proud Qiao gang leader has the right to laugh at these junior talents with mediocre talents, you must know that he is the only one who can complete all ten levels of training now, and the Qiao gang leader in his 50s can still maintain such shooting ability, which is really amazing.

"Okay, training begins, do you see those dots on the ground with numbers printed on them?" Jordan pointed to the floor, which was labeled with numbers.

Roy nodded.

"Difficulty one is very simple, you have to dribble and shoot 20 points in numerical order in less than a minute, and I'll pass the ball to you."

Twenty goals in a minute at different points? The average shot is only three seconds, and excluding the dribble time, basically every point must be shot once, which should be training the shooting rate.

Roy looked at the numbers on the floor, and they were lined up in a fox line inside the three-point line in order, and it seemed that the only difficulty in difficulty was the speed and accuracy of the shot.

This shouldn't be too much of a problem, Roy firmly believes in his shooting ability, and he even remembers the scene of breaking the shooting machine record, perhaps inheriting the talent of his mother Ilan, Roy's breathing rhythm when shooting is amazing.

It's incredible, Roy passed the test on his first attempt.

Jordan was stunned, he had already prepared words to comfort Roy, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and now he can only swallow it back into his stomach, you know, even the Hornets star Kemba Walker tried twice at the first point to get through, Roy is really not simple.

"Your shooting reminds me of Ray Allen." Jordan praised Roy from the bottom of his heart, "It's really not easy to maintain the stability of your movements at such a rate. ”

Difficulty 2 begins, and compared to Difficulty 1, the biggest change in Difficulty 2 is that the position of the number tags has changed greatly, and they are intertwined and distributed everywhere.

In other words, Roy needs to keep shooting at high speeds, and the time is still one minute.

The difficulty really came, this time it was not a brainless continuous shot one after another, the second difficulty required running, a large run, such as running from one side of the penalty area to the other side to complete the shot, it seems that the difficulty lies in the stability of the shot in the run.

Roy guessed correctly, the second difficulty test is indeed the stability of the shot on the run.

On the first attempt, Roy failed in timeout because the shooting rhythm was too slow.

On the second attempt, Roy learned to be smart, instead of running to the designated point and standing still before shooting, he tried to shoot directly on the run, this small change immediately improved the shooting rate, but unfortunately the shooting percentage was still a little worse.

The smart Roy immediately understood that it was a lack of ability, although his shooting action and shooting rhythm were impeccable, but the ability points were not enough, so naturally he could not support him to complete the shot, it seems that the difference between "in-place mid-range shooting" and "moving mid-range shooting" is here.

Roy was smart, and he still remembered that the forty data that he had blackened at the beginning, after a long period of exploration, had gradually figured out their function.

Roy didn't hesitate to increase his "moving mid-range shot" to the cap of 50, and the third attempt passed by the second.

Amazing, amazing, Jordan felt more and more that Roy was extraordinary.

He has a soft touch, keen observation, a clear tactical mind, and an almost perverted shooting consistency, which is not something that can be expressed by the stats.

From this point of view, Roy is a natural super pitcher, he is not afraid of the opponent's interference and outside pressure, yes, otherwise Roy could not have played the preliminaries in the face of the ridicule and boos of the audience.

The results of the training quickly proved to be true.

Difficulty 3 and Difficulty 4 are based on the shooting of Difficulty 1 and Difficulty 2, and the shooting test with interference added.

As a result, Roy did as well as he did without interference.

In just one hour, Roy broke through Difficulty Four.

Jordan was shocked, he knew he was wrong, comparing Roy with the likes of Kemba Walker is really a bit of a low opinion of Roy, with his current talent, the lower limit is at least the level of Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, as for the upper limit, Jordan thought of a name - Larry Bird?

"Roy, I completely blindfolded you just now, what did you rely on to throw the ball in?" Jordan was full of interest in Roy.

"Feeling."

Feel? This is the answer that Jordan likes, a good pitcher, it really doesn't rely on eyes, but on feelings.

Jordan still remembers practicing blindfolded shooting on his own when he was younger.

Shooting relies on the feeling of the body, which is indeed too important, but how did Roy, who was new to basketball, practice this feeling? Or was it a natural gift from him?

"Okay, it seems that I predicted that you couldn't pass the difficulty five, I really underestimated you, I'll adjust the training content of the difficulty five now, let's try to shoot, if the gap between you and me is within 3 seconds, I count you to complete the training."

Roy really activated Jordan's competitive heart.

Game shots? Seems interesting.
