Chapter Seventy-Six: Curry's Stunt

"Oh my God, yes, Stephen!" Zhang Weiping said with a smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, hey!" Curry was also overjoyed.

"How's your shooting percentage, though!? Wouldn't it make a difference if the shot was so fast? Zhang Weiping couldn't help but ask this question.

"No problem at all!" Curry patted his chest and reassured.

"yes, Stephen sometimes throws like this when he plays, we all think it's a great move, but it's a pity that the coach doesn't let him do it all day!" Green agreed.

"Hiccup!" Duan Tianqing hiccuped loudly on the side, causing everyone to look sideways.

"Hehe, don't look at me, you go on!" Duan Tianqing said embarrassedly.

"Now, let's do it again! Look! Curry said as he got the ball again. Look at the difference in my movements! ”

Zhang Weiping did not defend closely this time, but carefully observed from behind.

Curry still dribbled the ball and suddenly made a shot, so fast that it was difficult for the opponent to react even if he was prepared.

Curry pretended to have a defender on the opposite side and took a step back, and he was not only quick when he shot, but also very fast between dribbling and shooting.

"Roar, I seem to understand a little! It's just that you're not afraid that your secret will be exposed," Zhang Weiping said thoughtfully, after observing it a few times.

"Hehe, there's no secret in the first place, it's just whether you can do it!" Curry said with a grin.

Curry's quick shot was a straightforward step in several aspects. Curry's shooting doesn't use too much wrist strength, but uses all the power when shooting in a balanced and fluid way, and no detail is superfluous.

First, Curry's dribbling is higher than that of ordinary guards, his height of 1.91 meters cannot be considered short on the guard line, and the center of gravity of ordinary guards dribbling is generally lower, while Curry is much taller. Generally speaking, the requirements of a defender to dribble are to bend over and raise his head, lower his center of gravity, dribble closer to his body, increase the frequency of dribbling, be good at changing the rhythm, and prevent being tackled through the variety of movements. That's a requirement for all guards, and it's even more so for a guard like Curry, who is more than 1.90 meters.

But that's not the case with Curry's dribbling. Maybe it's a habit since childhood, or maybe it's intentional, Zhang Weiping found that Curry's center of gravity was not very low when he dribbled, but he didn't bend down when he looked up. Mastering skillful dribbling is the basic of a good guard, Curry bends over, bends his knees, and lowers his hips. When the fingertips touch the ball, the big arm drives the lower arm to dribble naturally. Curry's dribbling is relatively high, which naturally greatly increases the chance of being stealed, Curry should be easier to be broken than other guards, but what is the actual situation, Curry is one of the best point guards in the league.

And to be able to do this, I have to say that this is a natural ability. Curry is a second-generation star, as the son of Dell Curry, he received a complete and correct basketball education since he was a child, grew up in the NBA, and mixed with Vince Carter and other NBA stars, it can be said that he grew up holding the ball. So, he's very good on the ball, he's very good at combining the ball, and he usually gets rid of the defense by dribbling at a high frequency and then accelerating to change direction. His rhythm, the frequency of his dribbles, allows him to keep the ball firmly under his control. This is difficult, but it is not impossible, practice makes perfect.

The second point is that Curry's entire movement is smooth and his body is extremely fast. With the premise that the dribble was high before and he was relatively close to the shooting position, his preparation before shooting was almost all left-handed ball, so that the right hand of the shot could enter the preparation state the fastest, and he would shoot when he picked it up. The foot and knee bend, the hips and the back are tilted, and the jump shot with the ball is no different from ordinary shooting, but it is almost perfect.

Third, Curry barely jumped high on his toes when he shot, and his toes were slightly off the ground. This not only saves physical energy, but also greatly shortens the time from the beginning of the ball to the shot. He is able to use all his strength, legs, hips, and waist power to shoot the ball in the most physical and time-saving way, because Curry has never been the kind of player who is physically perverted.

Fourth, when Curry shoots, Curry follows the action after shooting, and his body is not facing the basket, but his body is in front of him. This has something to do with his movements when he shoots, because although he shoots with his toes facing the basket, he is a little forward and backward, slightly slanted shoulders, his upper body is a little pressed down when shooting, and he rarely swings forward, and the position where he lands after shooting will not even be five centimeters different from the position when jumping.

Fifth, Curry usually shoots when the ball has not reached the highest point of the arm, and the whole process goes with the trend without the slightest stagnation, which is also related to countless exercises, after all, there is a thing called muscle memory. A good shooter, even if you bring him to the three-point line and cover his eyes, he can throw the ball in for you.

Zhang Weiping patiently explained Curry's shooting actions to the camera. In fact, as he said, there is no secret to Curry's shooting, it is just a repeated connection. Everyone has their own way of shooting, and this is not necessarily the best, Curry just plays the way he is good at it to the extreme.

It is said that the NBA is a place where player talent is rampant. Indeed, in addition to hard work, talent is also an important aspect.

Curry was not well received in college, even when he first entered the NBA. Even though his father was the NBA's All-Round Sixth Man, he was rejected by his father's alma mater. There is no outstanding breakthrough speed, no vigorous physical fitness, close to the physical condition of ordinary people, and it is even judged that he cannot play in the NCAA. Only the little-known Davidson College was chosen. Even though he showed his prominence in the NCAA, he was only selected by the Golden State Warriors with the seventh pick in the draft. At that time, there were also assertions that the skinny guy couldn't stay in the NBA.

However, they forgot. Talent isn't just about the physical gifts of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and others. Isn't Curry's excellent shooting ability, control of basketball, and superior basketball IQ also a kind of talent?

Perhaps it was this that Nelson Sr. took a fancy to that and selected Curry with the seventh pick. Until now, he has become the pillar of the Golden State Warriors, and perhaps, in the future, he will lead this group of young people further. Zhang Weiping told with emotion, moving himself.

"Well, sorry to interrupt, isn't this my interview?" Duan Tianqing said helplessly.
