Chapter 50 Intra-Team Training
Wachovia Center Arena.
The sharp and piercing sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor, the crisp sound of basketball hitting the ground, and the sound of shouting and colliding are intertwined, filling the entire huge training arena.
The two white figures staggered, and it would be difficult to tell who was who if it weren't for each other.
After walking in, I saw that it was a dark-skinned athlete and a yellow-skinned teenager engaged in a one-on-one basketball confrontation, and the two were soaked in sweat, obviously consuming a certain amount of physical strength.
"Don, you've changed so little." Iguodala said with a grin, her outstretched arms like vines wrapped around Tang Wenlong's body.
Tang Wenlong, who was crisscrossing the NCAA, had no color on his face, he controlled the basketball back and forth in his crotch, and then turned his back again, stuck in front of Iguodala, barely ensuring that the basketball was within the range of arm control.
He didn't expect that Iguodala's one-on-one defensive ability would be so terrifying.
No matter how false he was, Iguodala was always able to tell the real from the fake, and the speed he was proud of was difficult to exert its effect. And as soon as he leaned over and burst forward, Iguodala would immediately take a small step back a small block, and then the two had a physical confrontation, in this regard, it was half a pound or two, but breaking through his defense line also became a fantasy in the confrontation.
Sweat flowed down Tang Wenlong's hairline, his face was solemn, and his mind was racing to deal with it.
"You've changed too little." Iguodala reminded Tang Wenlong again.
Tang Wenlong didn't have time to understand the meaning of Iguodala's words, and there was a slight fluctuation mistake in the control of the ball, and then a strong black arm was handed over and stabbed the basketball in Tang Wenlong's hand with a "snap".
Tang Wenlong's face turned dark, and he felt a little unbearable.
Iguodala, on the other hand, stood still, grabbing the basketball that had crashed against the wall and rolled back, his face a little smug.
"It's me again." Iguodala said lightly.
Tang Wenlong nodded, his knee joints were slightly bent, his slender body bent down, his arms stretched out in parallel, and his defensive posture was standard enough to be a trainer.
"It's already the third ball, be careful." Iguodala reminded, feeling like I'm going to make a big move.
Tang Wenlong's eyes froze, and then he was a little more energetic, and his concentration was extremely concentrated.
Iguodala took a three-threat pose after grabbing the ball, with the basketball between his waist and his right toe lightly tapping on the floor, testing Tang Wenlong's reaction.
"When you attack with the ball, you need variety in your attack." Iguodala said as if to teach.
Tang Wenlong kept it firmly in mind.
And just as his last syllable fell, Iguoda pulled!
Grabs the ball with both hands and makes a shooting feint, then quickly takes a step to the right.
"To the right?!" Tang Wenlong didn't have time to think about it, and the center of gravity of his body shifted slightly.
Iguodala shook his head, "snapped" the basketball bounced off the floor and then returned to his left hand, which he actually changed hands in a very low position in front of him, and then stepped out with his left foot, leaning quickly to the left.
Tang Wenlong was taken aback and struggled to adjust back.
At this most critical moment, Iguodala's left hand that controlled the ball suddenly disappeared like magic!
disappeared, Tang Wenlong's pupils contracted suddenly.
It turned out that Iguodala hadn't finished the feint yet, and he was two meters tall and nimble like a point guard, holding the ball around his back with one hand, and strangely completing a back dribble.
In the middle of this pull, he and Tang Wenlong opened up nearly half of their bodies.
Where else can Tang Wenlong do at the moment, watching Iguodala walk away, and then lightly completing a two-handed basket under the basket.
"Hahaha!" Iguodala laughed a few times, elbowed the basketball, and approached Tang Wenlong.
Tang Wenlong was depressed in his heart, and his face also showed a helpless look, he only scored one goal by shooting.
Tang Wenlong said: "It seems that I still underestimate the intensity of the NBA, I am still too weak, and I need to continue to train and improve." ”
Iguodala was actually very satisfied when he saw Tang Wenlong's humble desire to advance, and he comforted: "Actually, you can be proud of this strength at this age. You know, my defense is on the wing of the league, and only a few top stars can still score points, and the efficiency is definitely greatly reduced. ”
Tang Wenlong asked curiously: "Which top stars are there?" ”
Iguodala raised an eyebrow, then cocked his fingers and counted: "For example, the strong gorilla who is on the Heat now, for example, the paranoid man in Los Angeles, for example, your college brother, that little melon on the plateau, for example, the freshly baked scoring champion in Oklahoma." ”
There are so many, Tang Wenlong was startled and secretly kept these people in his heart.
Tang Wenlong asked: "The change you said just now is too little, do you mean that my dribbling change is too little?" ”
"Yes!"
Iguodala nodded, and then he slapped the basketball with his right hand at the free-throw line and explained, "Look at me dribbling, when I stop like this." With that, he sent his hand forward, and his body paused sharply to the right.
Tang Wenlong looked very carefully, Iguodala's emergency stop was different from his own, but he could see that he was also very coordinated.
Iguodala said: "You see, when I came to a stop, my shoulders barely rose and fell, and at the same time, my left hand came back to protect my right hand holding the ball, and the left leg swing was naturally 30 degrees. ”
Tang Wenlong carefully looked at Iguodala's early change of direction, it was indeed the case, and his face showed contemplation.
"When you change direction, you should use the forefoot of the foot to exert force, I think you know all of this, the key is the change in these details. You know, most of the NBA passes rely on changes in rhythm, a small part relies on tactical arrangements, and a very small number of top players will use all kinds of feints to pass, and once you have an inscrutable change, you will bring a lot of trouble to the defender. ”
Tang Wenlong took the basketball in Iguodala's hand, recalled Iguodala's actions just now, and then held the ball and slapped twice, and suddenly his right foot stepped out with his right hand, his long arm drooped to a terrifying position, and his two hands completed a very hidden change of direction in front of his body on the floor, as if his right hand directly handed the ball to his left hand.
Iguodala's eyes flickered, and she was almost scared out of her heart attack.
There was a storm in my heart, "Isn't this the action of this kid Dwyane Wade!" ”
Tang Wenlong played back and forth a few times to change the direction of the emergency stop, the more he did it, the more he felt it, he naturally added a Buddha worship action when protecting the ball, and his mind began to become extremely broad, as if he had found a breakthrough that had not increased in strength for a long time!
He became more and more excited, simply dribbling the ball and running around the court to practice, and then made a quick stop with his left and right hands, looking at Iguodala on the side.
At this time, a wave of people walked into the arena, wearing a 76ers team uniform, obviously a player of the 76ers team.
"Hey, Andrey!" Come and say hello to Iguodala.
Iguodala turned her head and reached out to high-five the person who came over, "Hey, Elton, hey, Luis"
"Yo, isn't this the list this year, the training is so serious! It's nice to be young. Looking at Tang Wenlong, who was still practicing on the field, Elton, the team's big brother, spoke.
"You've had a bullfight with him? Isn't it amazing? Louis Williams' focus was clearly different from Elton Brand's, and he asked with some excitement when he saw the sweat on Iguodala's body.
"Yes." Iguodala shrugged her shoulders and replied, "This new young man is amazing. ”
Iguodala thought for a moment, then said: "If I had to give him a rating, the offense would be A, the defense would be slightly worse, below the league average, but it would also have a C rating, and it would not be a hole in the field. ”
"So powerful?" Louis Williams had an excited look in his eyes, a little eager to try.
"Hey, the coach is here, don't mess around, it's the first team training match later, perform well, and strive to make a good impression in the coach's heart." After Elton saw Collins and the others walking in, he stopped Louis, who wanted to go on the field to communicate with Tang Wenlong, and said calmly.
Tang Wenlong also saw that there were more and more people around him, although he wanted to practice for a while, he was still a little shy, so he put away the basketball, and then approached Iguodala and the others.
"Hey, you're so good with the ball!" Louis Williams is only 24 years old this year, although he has been in the league for several seasons, his personality is still very active, and as soon as he met Tang Wenlong, he expressed his willingness to fight Tang Wenlong, "Let's pick a few later, itchy!" ”
"Ha, I'm Elton, Don, you're pretty strong." Brand was much more sophisticated, and stretched out his hand to Tang Wenlong.
"Hello."
Tang Wenlong shook hands with the two of them one by one, then scratched the back of his head, and smiled a little shyly.
