In the last year, Nash persuaded Tang Shuai to join the Lakers more than once, and promised to give him private training, and the story after that is also well-known, Tang Shuai didn't really try, but in the end fate played a joke with him, and he still came to the Lakers.

After that, he was supposed to complete the agreement with Nash, but unfortunately it was the playoffs and the Olympics, and after coming to the Lakers, he was deeply involved in the conflict with Walton, and when he was empty, Nash took his family to travel to Europe.

So as soon as he got the news of Nash's return today, even if it was the team's training day, he still decided to ask Nash to fulfill this agreement.

Of course, this agreement is part of it, and what he wants more is to get Nash's passing bag, although Billups's key Mr. Key pass bag is already a purple passing bag, but the limit is also purple, which is obviously not the best for him.

Before, it was because there was no better choice, so he insisted on using it, but now that there is a better one in front of him, he naturally has no reason not to carry out an "upgrade".

The place where the two agreed was not the same as before, they were in a café when they chatted before, but this time, because it was a special instruction, the location became a nearby basketball training hall, and the reason why they didn't choose the Staples Center was because neither of them wanted to make it too ostentatious.

"Don, I heard that the Lakers have a practice today, why did you still come out?" Nash had just returned from a trip, and he didn't expect Tang Shuai to be so eager to ask him out.

"I must be very red right now." Tang Shuai pointed to his face and said, "Because I'm already embarrassed, if I drag it out any longer, it's really like you're begging to guide me." ”

"Haha......" Nash laughed at Tang Shuai's words, "You're much more talkative than before, and that's a good thing for you." ”

Tang Shuai smiled and nodded, communication has always been the necessary foundation for becoming a successful NBA player, and now he wants to be the core of the Lakers, which is naturally indispensable, he is actually trying to change his personality that is not good at talking, as far as it seems now, this is quite successful.

"Okay, knowing that your time is precious, and I won't waste too much, let's start right away." Nash is also a doer, and immediately took the ball and said.

Tang Shuai nodded excitedly, he just likes this kind of directness.

"Don, in fact, your passing ability has already reached a certain level, and it can even be said to be stable, maybe because you played in the Clippers before, this style of play should have been learned from Chauncey?" Nash asked.

Tang Shuai nodded: "Chauncy is very good to me, he has helped me a lot." ”

"Well, for you at that time, Chauncey's guidance should have been very useful, so that you can do it without making mistakes on the court." Nash said lightly.

Tang Shuai looked at Nash in slight surprise, and from his words, he could hear that he didn't value Billups' passing ability that much.

"Passing is a very simple technique, but there are actually many kinds of it, everyone has their own style of passing, like Chauncey, now Chris, is a moderate school, but like me, the understanding of passing is different from theirs." Nash looked at the basketball with a little excitement as he spoke, spinning the ball back and forth in his hand twice.

"Basketball is a creative sport, and staying the same will only make the audience lose interest in it, cool dunks, great scoring, creative passing, that's all part of its charm." Nash's ensuing speech took Tang Shuai into a whole new realm.

Passing, as the most used technique in basketball tactics, is the most basic and important function to ensure that the ball is safely delivered to the receiver, which both Kassel and Billups have emphasized to him countless times.

But Nash, his philosophy completely abandons these, or should not be abandoned, but transcends these, and his philosophy requires players to understand and learn after they have a certain passing foundation.

The creativity of passing, that's the core of Nash's passing skills.

Tactics are the basis for a team to ensure offensive stability, and a point guard with strong execution is the basis for ensuring the normal operation of tactics, take the Clippers and the former Celtics as examples, players run to the designated position through the operation of tactics, and the point guard is responsible for accurately passing the ball to that position, and then completing the assist, this is what Nash said Billups, Paul's style of point guards, super execution, accurate passing ability, and even because of the familiarity with tactics, there is also a amount of advance.

But Nash's passing skills are the opposite of theirs, and at the heart of his philosophy is to break that pattern.

Because no matter how ever-changing the tactics are, after a long time, the opponent will seize the weakness and then target, and this kind of passing that breaks the routine is too much for the opponent to guard.

Because you don't know who the ball carrier is going to pass the ball to, you can't defend it properly, which creates opportunities for other teammates to be ready to receive the ball at all times, and the success rate of the offense will skyrocket.

Of course, the premise, as mentioned before, requires players to understand and learn with a certain passing foundation to stop nausea, otherwise they can't even pass the ball to their teammates, and no matter how unpredictable the pass is, it will eventually become a nonsensical mistake.

"That's what I mean by passing, and I can show you once." After Nash finished speaking, he turned around and dropped four obstacles at the two bottom corners and two forty-five-degree angles.

Tang Shuai saw Nash's movements and knew that he was going to demonstrate to himself, so he walked to the free throw line to make defensive moves.

After Nash put the obstacles, he walked outside the three-point line with the ball, beckoned to Tang Shuai, and motioned for him to go up.

Nash is 42 years old, and his athleticism has long declined to the extreme, Tang Shuai is not really defensive, but just retreats with Nash's breakthrough.

Nash dribbled two steps forward, and his right hand suddenly pulled the ball into the air and made a left pass, and the man jumped up.

Tang Shuai made a defensive move to the left, and at this moment, Nash's hand holding the ball suddenly pulled to the left, and then threw the ball to the right.

"Bang", and in the next second, Tang Shuai saw the basketball smashed into the obstacle in the bottom corner of the right wing.

The elusive direction of the pass, the precise passing angle, Nash's deterioration is only his body, and the kung fu in this hand is not bad at all.

'With this kind of pass, you can't just look at my hands, you have to watch the other players in the position. "In the same way, before you make a pass, you have to think about who you're going to pass to, and then you can do a reverse feint based on that goal, just like I just did. ”

Tang Shuai nodded again and again, Nash's way of passing made him stunned, and he found for the first time that the pass could come like this.

"You try once, try to confuse me, so that I can't judge your passing target." Nash said as he turned around and lifted up the smashed obstacles, then picked up the ball and threw it to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai took the ball and walked outside the three-point line, and accelerated forward with the ball.

He glanced at the obstacle on the right, suddenly accelerated, followed by a feint of passing to the right, and then suddenly threw the ball away in the air.

"Smack!"

He thought it was smooth, but Nash spotted the direction of his pass and slapped his pass away.

"You're doing well, but your eyes betray you." Nash then said, "A player with defensive experience, he will judge the direction of your pass by your body language and your eyes, and if you want to really pass a good ball, you have to learn to pass with anticipation, which is called passing without looking at people." ”

Tang Shuai nodded vigorously, Nash's experience is accumulated in 19 years of career, which you can't buy with money, but at this time, he has taught everything, which is enough to see the importance he attaches to himself.

Tang Shuai was under Nash's point, and then tried to pass the ball again, this time successfully deceived Nash, Nash nodded excitedly: "Your ability may not be the strongest, but you are really talented, I didn't misunderstand you." ”

In the following time, Nash taught Tang Shuai some passing skills, including wrist mastery, position prediction, etc., Tang Shuai listened carefully, and his understanding of passing became more and more deep.

In the end, after Tang Shuai was able to control the pass, and even barely managed to pass without looking at people, Nash stopped his explanation with a smile: "You have mastered eight or nine points, as long as you use them skillfully in the game, I believe you will have a qualitative leap in the passing technique." ”

Tang Shuai nodded vigorously, and then said: "Steve, it is said that the game is the best way to test the results of learning, let's find two players and have a 3-on-3 confrontation." ”

"We?" Nash was stunned when he heard Tang Shuai say, as if he didn't expect him to say this.

Tang Shuai nodded, learning from Nash is one thing, and finding a way to get the skill pack on him is the goal.

Nash burst out laughing, bright and unpredictable.

After a while, he spoke: "I'm 42 years old, and I haven't touched a basketball in more than 2 years, and to be honest, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have picked up this ball." ”

Tang Shuai smiled a little embarrassedly, indeed, not all retired players are interested in such a confrontation, and it is unprecedented that they are willing to give their hands to each other, play? People in their 40s, who would want to pick up basketball again unless they really want to?

But it's clear that Nash's appetite for basketball has now dropped to a low level, and he prefers football, plus he wants to spend time with his family, and has turned down several teams to head coaches.

"But ......" Seeing Tang Shuai's expression change, he continued, "If you really need it, I can find someone to help." ”

"Looking for someone? Who? Tang Shuai looked at Nash suspiciously.

"Jason Williams." Nash uttered a name and added, "White chocolate." (To be continued.) )
