Chapter 21: Stop-and-Drop Jumper

Entering January, although Duke University has two wins and three losses, Zhang Zifeng's shooting percentage is gradually improving.

Shooting training has been strengthened, but Zhang Zifeng has not fallen behind in the defense based on Duke University, but more to keep training.

Now as long as Zhang Zifeng doesn't encounter an outside player like Little Emperor James who can crush everything by relying on muscles, he can basically reduce the average shooting rate of the opponent.

Now Zhang Zifeng's defense has reached a critical point, and the next step is to accumulate more experience in actual combat to bring a qualitative leap to the defense.

But in terms of offense, in addition to fixed-point shooting, there is only the basket attack after the fast break.

I used to work the offensive ability with the ball, but I haven't put more energy into this area since this fall.

Just a month ago, after the guidance of the fat man Zheng Xinguo, he increased his shooting training.

When Zhang Zifeng was in high school, the ball-holding offense was the top in China.

When it comes to college, strength training brings stronger confrontation in order to get into the squad, but it also affects the feel.

Now after nearly a month of hard three-point training, 800 three-point shooting training a day, the former feeling is slowly recovering.

In the game, when there was no defense, the shooting rate of the fixed-point shot exceeded 5.

However, the way of shooting at a fixed point alone is not what Zhang Zifeng wants, what he wants is to be able to take the initiative to attack.

The pull-up jump shot is a must-have skill for a shooting guard.

The stop-and-go jump shot can be divided into a stop-and-go jump shot with the ball and a stop-and-go jump shot with the ball.

A dribbling pull-up jump shot is to dribble the ball yourself and then suddenly jump up to shoot.

The dribbling pull-up jump shot is more difficult than the push-and-go jumper with the ball, and it requires more physical control and physical confrontation.

It's late January and it's not far from the tournament in March.

In the shortest possible time, it is best to show the old K his scoring ability and win the start.

Zhang Zifeng prioritizes the stop-and-go jump shot with the ball as his next technique to strengthen his training.

In the early morning, in the training hall, Zheng Xinguo heard that Zhang Zifeng was about to start training a stop-and-go jump shot with the ball.

Zheng Xinguo praised, "Great, I'm about to remind you that it's time to take the initiative to attack, stay in the bottom corner, it's not the same thing." Good job, I feel like you're not far from starting! Come on, let's start training. If we don't practice 1,800 shots, I'm sorry we get up so early! ”

Zheng Xinguo waited for so long, and finally saw Zhang Zifeng take the initiative to think, and finally opened his mind, and he would take the initiative to learn to attack.

He felt like countless bills were flying towards him, and he was more powerful to help pass the ball.

During this time, I got up early every day, helped pick up the ball and passed the ball, and the whole person lost five pounds.

Zheng Xinguo thinks it's worth it!

In the stadium, only the angry shouts of Zheng Xinguo, a dead fat man, were heard.

"Okay, come again!"

"Yes, there are still two hundred more to complete today's mission. Hurry up, hurry up! ”

"Come on, don't be lazy!"

Zhang Zifeng repeatedly did V-shaped cuts, back turns, V-line cut-ins and turns, L-shaped cuts, L-line cuts, and turns around after running training.

When Zhang Zifeng pretended to run out of the vacant position, he immediately raised his right hand to signal the pass.

When Zheng Xinguo saw it, he would immediately pass the ball in different ways.

Zhang Zifeng immediately jumped up after receiving the ball, adjusted his posture in the air, and then shot.

A pull-up jump shot is a method in which an offensive player shoots after a sudden stop to get rid of a defender while on the move, which means that the defender has to complete the action before he can react.

These two aspects need to be paid attention to, one is the point of shot, and the other is the speed of the shot.

Nowitzki and Durant rarely get blocks because of their high shots. Coupled with Nowitzki's step-back jumper and Durant's pull-up jumper, it was even more difficult to block. A lot of the time defenders can only pray that they don't feel good today.

Zhang Zifeng's bounce can only be regarded as average, and with a height of 1.97 meters, there is not much room for improvement in terms of shooting points.

Therefore, Zhang Zifeng should pursue more to speed up the shooting speed while maintaining the hit rate.

In the NBA, known for their fast shots, I'm afraid to count Ray Allen and Curry, both of them are very fast and fast, so that before people can react, the ball has already flown to the basket.

After watching a lot of videos, Zhang Zifeng found that he wanted to improve his shooting speed.

One is that the shooting posture is fixed, after a lot of training, the muscles have produced memory, so that as soon as the ball is received, the body will naturally react, jump up and shoot, no extra movements, no thinking, natural shooting speed.

The second is self-confidence, I believe that I can vote, I believe that I can do it!

In this way, after receiving the ball, you will not think wildly, look ahead, and waste opportunities.

Zheng Xinguo used his mobile phone to record the video of Zhang Zifeng's emergency stop jump shot with the ball, and after training, he uploaded it to the computer, carefully analyzed it, and corrected the shooting posture.

Daily high-intensity, monotonous, boring, repetitive training is a kind of suffering.

But Zhang Zifeng gritted his teeth and persevered.

The NCAA stipulates that athletes cannot train for more than 4 hours a day and 20 hours per week during the school day, and must have 1 day of free time per week.

The training plan developed by Duke University Blue Devils assistant coach Collison is:

18:30, stretching.

18:35, warm-up exercises, generally 5 corner passes, 4 corner passes, two line layups, 3 people around the figure of 8.

18:45, introduce how to defend with players, defend when the ball is on both sides, defend when the ball is in the middle, and cooperate with 4 players in the whole court.

At 19:00, the training of single defense began, and the joint defense was quickly converted into a joint defense position.

19:30, practice air cut, 5 against 2, 5 against 3, 5 against 4, 5 against 5 attack and defense practice.

19:45, Break.

At 19:50, the whole team confronted.

At 20:30, the assistant coach will arrange special improvement for the players according to the records. For example, shooting percentage, confrontation, physical fitness, etc.

At 21:30, the training ended.

Train 3 hours a day, 6 days a week.

Of course, because of his longing for the NBA, Zhang Zifeng is the hardest working student at Duke University.

I always make full use of my spare time to train, get up at 5 a.m. in the morning, and don't go back to the dormitory until 8 a.m. to take a shower and go to class.

At the end of the team's training in the evening, Zhang Zifeng had to practice for an hour to improve his technical and tactical level before returning to the dormitory.

Training for more than eight hours a day.

Since the talent is not as good as people, then make up for it with hard work!
