Chapter 102: Layup Is Not That Simple (Part II)
It was these two seemingly simple confrontation layups that Lin Hao practiced for an afternoon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Okay, that's all for today, and you can rest for yourself in the evening. I'll teach you the rest tomorrow. Uncle Liu patted the dust on his buttocks.
"Uncle Liu, why haven't you seen Lotte these days?" Lin Hao asked.
"I forgot to tell you that he went to the U17s when you went to Treasure Island."
āU17ļ¼ā Lin Hao said in surprise.
"Well, in fact, he had the opportunity to go in last year, but for various reasons, he didn't make it in the end." Uncle Liu sighed.
"I hope to go out this time to see a little longer, not to swim deep to know the depth of the sea, not to fly far to know the breadth of the sky." Uncle Liu had hope in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Lotte won't let you down." Lin Hao comforted.
"Hopefully."
Lin Hao returned home, quietly soaking in the bathtub, covering his eyes with a towel, and pondering.
Lin Hao was thinking, he will be 19 years old soon, what kind of level has he reached?
Lotte has begun to enter the national stage, and even the whole world.
Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, these leaders in world football, graduated from high school, entered the NBA at the age of 18, and became a world-renowned superstar.
Lin Hao now feels that time is very short.
In the past, Lin Hao felt that he was still young, CBA, NBA, as if out of reach.
But Lotte's sudden departure, like a thunderbolt from the sky, told Lin Hao that he was 19 years old.
In his peers, gradually entering the main stage of the world, Lin Hao suddenly found that he had opened up such a big distance from the top players of the same age.
The hesitation caused by this gap made Lin Hao a little breathless.
"Who said that the summer vacation after the college entrance examination is carefree and the happiest." Lin Hao laughed at himself.
The next day, Lin Hao stared at a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
"Hao, what's wrong with you?" Sister Ru asked in surprise.
"Sister Ru, what were you doing when you were 19 years old?" Lin Hao asked.
"Huh?" Sister Ru was shocked by Lin Hao's question.
"I'm studying abroad, I'm ~~~~ alcoholic." Sister Ru said.
"Well, let's train." Lin Hao said seriously.
Next, Sister Ru took Lin Hao's words, and only then did she know why Lin Hao suddenly became like this.
Then Sister Ru threw a chestnut at the back of Lin Hao's head.
"It's okay, I'm having some kind of nervousness, like a sentimental woman."
"Train hard, think so much, don't get tired." Sister Ru said domineeringly.
"But ......," Lin Hao said aggrievedly.
"But what, do you dislike your current life and want to be a little star."
"No, no."
After Sister Ru made such a fuss, Lin Hao felt much better.
"After all, I'm just a normal handsome guy." Lin Hao comforted himself and said.
In the afternoon, Lin Hao went to the gymnasium again.
"Go warm up, then practice what you had yesterday on your own, and I'll teach you the final layup later." Uncle Liu said.
"Actually, you're already very familiar with this kind of confrontational layup." Uncle Liu said.
"Huh?" Lin Hao snorted suspiciously.
"How are you usually hooking hands?"
Lin Hao thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "I understand." ā
Uncle Liu smiled and threw the ball to Lin Hao.
This time, Lin Hao acted as a lecturer.
"Stretch your shoulders as much as possible to increase the distance between you and the defender, and when you go to the basket, block the opponent with your other hand to prevent him from interfering with the ball."
"That's right, but don't lean over or turn sideways." Uncle Liu said with a smile.
"I'm going to show you a big baby." Uncle Liu said with a mysterious smile.
Then Uncle Liu walked to the corner, and there was a big pillar in the corner.
"Come here to help, what are you doing stupidly?" Uncle Liu said.
"Push the big black onto the field."
"Big Black?"
Lin Hao picked up the pillar, and he didn't expect that the big black was not light at all.
"With a little force, Xiao Hei is 180 pounds." Uncle Liu looked at Lin Hao's deflated appearance and said.
"If you practice head-to-head layups, use Xiao Hei as your opponent." Uncle Liu said.
Then one afternoon, it was all a duel between Lin Hao and Xiao Hei.
To Lin Hao's great surprise, Xiao Hei's weight distribution was like that of an ordinary person.
And Xiao Hei can also stretch out his arms, like a real defender.
"Since I taught you how to fight the layup, I'll teach you a little more by the way." After watching two episodes of Pleasant Goat, Uncle Liu saw that he was fighting with Xiao Hei on the field, and Lin Hao was very happy.
"Give me the ball." Uncle Liu walked on.
"Now teach you the clock steps." Uncle Liu said.
"Clock step?" Lin Hao said suspiciously.
"Doesn't that sound lofty?" Uncle Liu said.
"It sounds great, but people who play basketball can basically do it, but it's also the most practical." Uncle Liu did not continue to ridicule Lin Hao.
"First of all, you need to identify one pivot foot, and then the other foot moves, like a minute hand, so it's called a clock step."
"Usually we go sideways or with our backs to catch the ball, and when you get the ball, you turn around and face the basket and face the defender."
"I've taught you how to catch the ball when you first learned basketball, now it's teaching you how to turn around the rim."
"After receiving the ball, if the opponent is close, choose to turn quickly, and if there is enough space, slowly turn step by step."
"When you turn around, remember not to move the pivot foot and keep your center at the same time."
"Now I'm going to show you how to turn quickly, and when you turn, you only need your torso to turn, so you don't have to make half a circle with your hands like you would draw a half-circle."
"You can make a cross-cut with your hand, which greatly speeds up the turn and reduces the risk of the opponent pulling the ball."
"Watch my steps, my feet are also direct cross-cuts, or side cuts."
"You come and practice."
Lin Hao took the ball and began to repeat Uncle Liu's movements, as long as he knew how to turn like this, he wouldn't take it at all.
"If the opponent sticks it up when you receive the ball, you can use a quick clock step to turn sideways to deceive the opponent."
"If you're very skilled, you can throw the ball out, or increase the amplitude of the movement to increase the deception."
"Turning slowly doesn't need to be said."
"There is also the clock step that tests the attacker's ability to read the defense, but also the attacker's reaction speed and ability to catch the flaws."
"There are also skills such as turning around, or deceiving the opponent and pulling it out directly."
"I once met a guy who had a very characteristic clock step, he used his shoulders, his hands to move the basketball, and the small movements of his feet to trick his opponent into moving half a step wrong, and then immediately pulling it out."
"Although he is not a professional player, his grasp of timing is amazingly strong, and with his height, almost no one in the people can guard against him." Uncle Liu couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Let's put it this way, the clock step is the simplest singles technique, and it's also the foundation of almost all singles with the ball."
"With the clock step, of course, the indispensable thing is to probe and fake shots, you will do these, and I want to say that after the time step against the layup."
"Sometimes, even if you can't fool your opponent, you can use the clock step to make room for yourself to make sure you can take the first step."
"Like me now." Uncle Liu turned around sharply in place continuously, and there were also probing steps, which made Lin Hao take two steps back.
"So the speed of the first step is very important."
"Maddie's one-step pass back then was very famous, and now the Heat's Flash Wade, their first step is terrifyingly fast."
"Once you have enough speed on the first step, you have enough impact, and that's when you have to be ready for the layup, preferably from the first step."
"After fully gauging whether you can knock the opponent away, choose whether to go to the basket or go to the inside or outside, and it's best to plan before you attack."
"So it's a big test of your ability to read the defence and understand the defender."
"Speaking of which, I would like to remind you that in a professional league, there are about 300 players, and there are about 150 who play regularly, and you have to be familiar with those 150."
"Maybe the coach will tell you the characteristics of the players you are playing against, but the court is changing rapidly, and more preparation is more opportunity and chance to win."
