"Come, let's talk about it."

Sacramento, the center of the Kings team.

Secret training grounds.

"What has Kobe Bryant's little ghost taught you this week......?"

Larry Bird was sitting on the side of the court, watching Gu Yu warm up before training, and the old god was cross-legged and said, "Is it doing his mental training method again, what kind of 'as long as you work hard enough, you will definitely succeed'?" ”

"That's true!"

Gu Yu nodded: "But he didn't say anything more for about half a day." ”

“…… How can it be?? ”

As Kobe's senior, Bird definitely watched Kobe grow up all the way, what kind of character Kobe Bryant is, and what he will say when he opens a small stove for people, Bird knows it clearly.

Although Kobe Bryant is a training freak, the reason why he has been able to maintain himself for so long and remain at the top of the league is not only because of his crazy training.

As a well-known paranoid, Kobe Bryant's obsession with mental power is well known to everyone. What is "Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning", what is "you are sleeping and I am practicing", what is "Devil 777 training method", what is "I eat hot pot and you eat hot pot base"...... Ahh

The similarity between Gu Yu and Kobe Bryant has been seen by many people in the league. Especially on the field, the paranoid desire for scoring, and the almost crazy training attitude that is said to be just like off the field.

In the face of such a player with a similar personality to himself, it is impossible for Kobe Bryant not to mention his mental training method. And Kobe Bryant is not a person who can listen to others, and he won't stop saying it because Gu Yu doesn't want to listen.

But Gu Yu said that Kobe Bryant only said it for a long time?

How is this possible?

"Because it's the same whether he says it or not!"

Gu Yu continued to warm up, and said with an indifferent face: "Anyway, with him or not, I can do it." ”

This......?!

Bird was shocked.

Is there any Kobe Bryant, hairstyle brother...... Can you do it?

This "all" can be done, does it mean that Kobe's training intensity and hairstyle brother are all accepted?

No, I'm afraid it's more than that.

Bird imagined that if he was Kobe, after saying that he was extremely persistent in training, and found that the object he was going to open a small stove was actually doing it, then he would definitely continue to exaggerate and say that the training intensity was a little more excessive.

After all, Kobe Bryant was invited by Gu Yu for special training and counseling, if the training intensity given by Kobe was not as good as Gu Yu's own practice intensity, then it would be a fart? ?

So in other words, Gu Yu's personal training intensity is probably even more terrifying than Kobe's usual training.

This...... Is it really possible?

Is there really a person who can work harder than Kobe?

"Well, the content of the exercise, when you met yesterday, he also said it."

Bird here is still storming in his brain, but over there Gu Yu has a familiar expression, as if his training intensity is the best in the world, even Kobe Bryant can't compare, as if it is a normal thing, shrugged and said: "Basically, it is to train the body and equipment in the morning, attack in the afternoon, and defend in the evening." ”

“…… There are three classes in the morning, noon and evening?? ”

Bird suddenly regretted that he had taken the bet.

"Nonsense, otherwise what are you doing at night? GOING BACK TO PLAYING DOTA? ”

Gu Yu glanced at Bird, as if in his heart, Bird looked so surprised now, as if he just wanted to act in a play and see how much he accepted the intensity of practice.

Or, Gu Yu didn't realize how far he had come to practice at all.

“…… All right. ”

Bird finally collected his emotions and said, "Then congratulations, my devil training, you shouldn't feel too hard." Because I'm a genius, unlike mortals like Kobe, I don't have to train like crazy like him, and still win the championship and MVP. ”

"Wow, you're so shameless!"

Gu Yu was also blunt......

“…… Get lost! ”

Bird scolded and continued: "You are a backcourt player, whether it is offensive or defensive, Kobe's skills and experience will definitely be more suitable for you. I've been playing small forward most of the time, and I've always been an all-around type of play, but I'm too strong, so I just averaged 30 points per game to play. ”

"The duties on the court at the small forward position are not the same as those at the shooting guard, and I don't know how much you know about the history of basketball, and I don't know if you thought about the difference in our positions when you bet with me. But judging by the results, you are lucky to be able to ask me to guide you. ”

As he spoke, Bird's eyes sank, and he looked at Gu Yu with a lot of content, looking forward to Gu Yu's answer.

The difference between a small forward and a shooting guard, hairstyle brother...... Do you know?

"Nonsense, I don't have any leaks...... Ahh ”

Gu Yu waved his hand and replied with an expression of "why are you kidding me": "The position of small forward is deviated from the way it is now, it is completely your reason!" ”

“…… Don't spew blood! It is clearly the pot of basketball's own development! ”

Bird was still talking to Gu Yu, but he was quite surprised in his heart.

It's not often that today's young players can know this kind of history.

In today's league, the all-around small forward is all the rage. Except for Melon Anthony and Thor Durant, the rest of the small forwards are almost following in the footsteps of LeBron and developing in the direction of omnipotence.

Bird himself is also a representative of the all-round small forward known in history. Averaging 25 points per game, 10 rebounds, plus seven assists, is Bird's standard stats.

However, in fact, in the early days of basketball, the definition and responsibilities of the small forward position were completely unrelated to all-around.

On the contrary, the shooting guard position has now completely entered the scoring king field, and the original on-court duty is not the word scoring.

“SHOOTING-GUARD。”

Now that Gu Yu knows in his heart, Bird will no longer sell off, and take out the appearance he had when he was a coach with the Pacers, and said seriously: "The so-called scoring guard is actually a projection guard, and the most important responsibility is to 'project' and 'guard'. ”

"Needless to say, projection is naturally the ability to shoot, and as a shooting guard, the shooting ability has to pass. Otherwise, no matter how sharp your breakthrough is, no matter how strong your defense is, and how bewitching your pass, it is incompetent as the definition of a scoring guard. ”

"But Wade is very powerful!"

Gu Yu dribbled the ball in his hand and began to shoot to find a feeling, and he was also listening carefully.

"That's because his breakthrough ability has broken through a 'threshold', surpassing ordinary players too much, when you have a skill that is strong enough to be one of the best in the world, no matter what position you play, you can succeed."

Bird explains: "And the word 'guard' in scoring guard means defense. Just like on the football field, the first duty of a guard on the basketball court is to defend. Unlike now, many fans and so-called bullshit experts seem to think that guards only need to score with ferocious firepower and be able to pass the ball. The first priority of a defender is actually to defend. ”

"Defenders are the first gate on the defensive end of a team. If the defenders can't defend well, then this team, no matter how many defensive giants there are, can't be a strong defensive team. If the first barrier will be easily broken by the opponent, other players will come to make up for it, which will only leave more empty opportunities for the opponent. ”

With that, Bird also walked up to the court, stretching his body, and continued: "So the reason why there is a team with Nash, whether it is equipped with Marion or Ragapel, cannot be a strong defensive team. It's not disrespectful to Nash, but I believe that if Nash were put on the 2004 Pistons roster and replaced Billups, the Pistons would still be a team with average defense and would not have won the championship. ”

"Shooting and defending ......"

Gu Yu repeated these two words, the original duty of a scoring guard is indeed far from the current NBA and even the world basketball world.

And all this is thanks to an old rascal who overlooks all living beings.

"If it weren't for Michael Jordan, who made an all-round transformation of the position of the scoring guard and created a new scoring maniac scoring guard standard, I am afraid that until now, the scoring guards would still be the 3D appearance of the primitive era."

Bird said: "And Jordan's style of play is actually a template for the small forward position. ”

“…… Scoring and defending?? ”

Gu Yu asked.

"No, there is no defense."

A smile rose at the corner of Bird's mouth, his right hand dribbled with one hand, his eyes looked at Gu Yu clearly, but suddenly a seemingly slow, but strange rhythm changed direction to dribble, the basketball was handed over to his left hand, and suddenly one hand was raised, and in an absolutely unconventional posture, the ball was thrown.

"Only offensive ......!"

“…… Swish! ”

Basketball into the net.

"Ball-holding, off-ball, shooting, breaking, cutting-in, back-to-back, fast-breaking, counter-running, blocking and dismantling without the ball, blocking and dismantling the ball carrier...... On the basketball court, all the offensive means, as a small forward, must be mastered. The range of a small forward can be slightly shorter than that of a guard, but his offensive means must be the most abundant. He must have the super strength to be able to directly tear apart the opponent's defense with the ball and score valuable points when all tactics fail. ”

As he spoke, Bird's head went up, looked at Gu Yu condescendingly, and said with a smile: "This is the position of small forward, the meaning of existence." All rebounds, assists, defense, steals, and blocks beyond that are all bonus. ”

Really got the right person.

At this moment, Gu Yu completely understood the meaning of Bird's words just now.

This time, I was able to find Kobe Bryant and Bird to open a small stove for myself, and I really found the right person......!! 10
