Chapter 25: Learning the Three-Point Shot

There was no game the next day, but early in the morning, Zhang Chu began to go to the club's training ground for additional training as usual. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The team asked for a nine-o'clock meeting, but he arrived early at eight o'clock. Since Zhang Chu often soaked in the training hall, the staff inside were also familiar with Zhang Chu.

As a professional club, the training facilities of the Rocket Club are absolutely world-class, and there are professional physical trainers to tailor scientific training programs and training plans for each player, as well as technical coaches to guide the players in the practice of various basic skills, and nutritionists to help you match your diet reasonably and control the fat ratio in your body.

No, a recent training plan that the Rocket Team has formulated for Zhang Chu is to improve the bounce power and speed...... Although the physical trainer emphasized to Zhang Chu: things like strength, physical fitness, and technique can be practiced the day after tomorrow, and things like bounce and speed are difficult to improve the day after tomorrow. But only Zhang Chu knew in his heart that his "physical and technical potential value" had been adjusted to the highest level, and through the previous training, his bounce and speed had indeed increased, so he repeatedly insisted that the physical trainer arrange training items for him that could improve these abilities.

Soon, Zhang Chu was sweating profusely, but he didn't feel tired at all. Half an hour passed, and at this time, the door of the training hall opened, and a familiar figure walked in, it was Novak.

Novak came early today, he played 5 minutes in yesterday's game and didn't score a point, while Zhang Chu, who was lower than himself, played 11 minutes and got 10 points and 5 rebounds, which made him feel a little pressure. You must know that the positioning of Zhang Chu in the team is to play small forward, and playing big forward is a temporary cameo, Zhang Chu performed so well yesterday, Novak feels that if he doesn't work hard, I'm afraid he won't even be able to play as a substitute.

Therefore, in today's training session, he deliberately came in advance, just to train for a while, but what he didn't expect was that there were people who came earlier than him.

The two said hello to each other, and then started their respective training, Zhang Chu mainly practiced his body, while Novak mainly practiced three-point shots, he relied on three-point shots to eat, which was his unique skill. And the staff member, Big Brother Terry, is also here, assisting Novak in training, Novak is in charge of shooting, and Terry is helping him pick up the ball.

"Zhang Chu, come here so early, why don't you rest more?" Novak shot the basket and chatted with Zhang Chu without saying a word. You must know that the two of them are new rookies in this year's draft, and the two have the same illness and a relatively close relationship.

"Zhang Chuhe, in the past month, he has been the first to come to the training hall every day, and the last to leave, except for going to the away team to play." Brother Terry answered for Zhang Chu while picking up the ball.

No wonder Zhang Chu performed better than me, it turned out that he trained so hard...... Novak thought to himself as he threw a three-pointer.

Five minutes passed, Novak shot thirty or forty three-pointers in a row, and he was stunned to score them all, and none of them didn't score, this perverted shooting rate......

Zhang Chu next to him is well aware of Novak's characteristics, and he watched the Rockets' games before he was reborn, and he also knows Novak quite well. His three-point shot is a must, but his physical confrontation ability is poor, so that he shoots three-pointers accurately during training, but when it comes to the official game, there is physical confrontation, and the shooting rate drops all of a sudden when there is interference from the opponent.

But I'm not afraid of physical confrontation! Zhang Chu suddenly had an idea, although his mind control can correct the basketball route, but it is not omnipotent, and the system can't do it when the shot is too outrageous, so the basic skills of this three-point shot still have to be practiced.

"That, Novak, I have a presumptuous request...... Zhang Chu scratched his head, this friendship is not very deep, and he can't open his mouth, "Can you guide me to shoot three-pointers?" ā€

Zhang Chu said, and Big Brother Terry helped him translate.

"Let me guide you in shooting three-pointers?" Novak was stunned for a moment, and the basketball in his hand hollowed into the net again, then he stopped and turned his head to look at Zhang Chu.

"yes, well, it's a bit presumptuous, if it's inconvenient, forget it...... However, your shooting is awesome, come on, brother, I'm optimistic about you, as long as you work hard, I think you'll be the next Ray Allen's ......" Since Zhang Chu opened his mouth, the following words were also smooth, and he patted Novak on the back without a trace.

"Really, you think I can be a superstar like Ray Allen?" Novak's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhang Chu, the more he loved it, the cuter he became. Young people, who have just entered the league, which one has no dreams, and which one is not enthusiastic and ambitious. Ray Allen, as the most proficient three-point shooting superstar in today's NBA, has always been Novak's idol, and Zhang Chu can be regarded as talking to Novak's heart.

"Zhang Chu, you have such a good eye!" Novak gave Zhang Chu a thumbs up, and the more he looked at Zhang Chu, the more he looked at him.

Zhang Chu secretly rolled his eyes, this American is different from the Chinese, for a Chinese, if you praise him like this, he must be humble for a while, the Americans are good, and they accept it safely.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to shoot three-pointers."

From posture to strength, from mentality to feel, Novak, who is in a good mood, knows everything and speaks endlessly, and he teaches Zhang Chu everything.

……

In November, the Rockets had fourteen regular season schedules, and in the first thirteen games, the Rockets had a 9-4 record, which was generally not bad, ranking fifth in the West. After all, there are too many strong teams in the west, and this record can definitely rank in the top three if it is placed in the east.

The first place in the West is the Suns, who have won thirteen consecutive games, creating the best start in the history of the Suns, and also the first record in the league. The Pistons are currently No. 1 in the East, with a 10-2 record with one game less than the Rockets. The Pistons lost center Ben Wallace this summer, but it looks like the Pistons aren't affected too much.

In these thirteen games, Zhang Chu played an average of 12 minutes per game, averaging 7.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

This result is very good for a rookie, especially when he only plays more than 10 minutes, at least, the management and head coach of the Rockets are very satisfied, especially with Zhang Chu's defensive ability. Zhang Chu's role on the field has many things that cannot be directly reflected by some simple data.

Morey likes to engage in data analysis, according to his own calculations, as long as Zhang Chu is on the court, the average points conceded by the Rockets per 100 rounds are the lowest, but the net score is the highest in the team, and at the same time, the efficiency value and contribution to the team's victory are second only to Yao Ming and Maddie in the team.

Morey and Van Gundy are increasingly inclined to cultivate Zhang Chu as the team's number one potential star.

After a whole month in November, the top scientific and systematic training of the Rocket Club, as well as the guidance of various technical coaches, Zhang Chu's comprehensive strength has increased by two points, from the original 68 to 70. The highest of these is still 82 power, 80 bounce, 78 speed, and 70 explosiveness. In the past month, under the guidance of sharpshooter Novak, there has also been a big leap, from the original 22 to 30, an increase of 8 points. Before, the three-point shot was a weakness of Zhang Chu, and he almost didn't shoot three-point shots in the game, but after reaching 30, he also looked good in training.

……

Today, the last day of November, at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Toyota Center, the Rockets have a game, and the opponent is the Suns, who are currently the No. 1 in the league and maintain a thirteen-game winning streak undefeated!

During the NBA regular season, on the first day of each month, the league announces the best players of the previous month, as well as the best rookies of the East and West. Although tomorrow is only December 1st, and the league will announce it tomorrow, but today a well-informed reporter has obtained an inside report---- the best player in the East in November is the "Little Emperor" James, and the best player in the West is the Suns' "Little Overlord" Stoudemire. This is not surprising, and they deserve it.

In November, "Little Emperor" James led the Cavaliers to the second place in the East, and the "Little Overlord" Stoudemire's Suns won thirteen consecutive victories, first in the league.

And the best rookie in the East in November is Morrison of the Bobcats, and the best rookie in the West is Roy of the Trail Blazers. These two are in a bad team, they have played the main team, their playing time and shooting rights have been greatly guaranteed, and they have also been cultivated by the team as the core, and it is not surprising that they have played gorgeous statistics.

However, this is just gossip, and no one can be finalized until tomorrow when it is officially announced.
