"Coach!"

After Li Tian said hello, Adelman went straight to the point and asked, "Li, I saw that in yesterday's game and today's training, you had many rounds of attacking with the ball. ”

"Yes, Coach." Li Tian has no surprises that Adelman will find this, especially in training, every move of himself and others will be recorded by the coaching staff.

"I've been practicing dribbling in training all this time, and I think improving my ability to handle the ball will make me more dangerous offensively."

"You're right, when you have the ball, you can use the dribble to get rid of the defense and do the offense, which makes your pull-up jump shot more threatening. And if your defenders are afraid of your breakouts, you'll likely get more shots from the outside. ”

As Adelman spoke, Li Tian kept nodding, in fact, even if Tieshu didn't improve the dribble, Li Tian's recent training focus was on dribbling and layups, and the reason was the same as Adelman said.

"However, I thought that not having such an ascension would cause you trouble......"

"Huh?" Li Tian, who was nodding, raised his head and looked at Adelman in surprise, "Troubled? ”

Li Tian didn't understand the meaning of Adelman's words, after the improvement of the offense with the ball, Li Tian felt very obvious whether it was yesterday's game or today's training, that is, the defenders have more headaches in the face of themselves, but listening to the meaning of Adelman's words, it seems that there are shortcomings in his own improvement?

"Yes, bothered, if I were your opposing player, I would not hesitate to stick to you, and even deliberately let you break through to the inside."

Adelman continued, and Li Tian began to groan after hearing this, imagining what would happen if this happened on the field.

"I'm going to choose to press you with my body and get you as close to the basket as possible, and what are you going to do? Squeezing me to the basket? Or pass the ball out? ”

"If you push me to the basket, I'm going to be very happy because I'm confident enough that your shot won't hit, I just need me to keep playing with you. And if you choose to pass the ball, we don't need to wrap it, then my teammates will not hesitate to cut off your passing route, because then you have no choice but to pass, and we can easily determine your passing route. ”

"This ......" As Adelman continued, Li Tian's initial excitement completely disappeared, and in his place his expression became extremely ugly, he had doubts and confusion in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to refute, but found that he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Adelman didn't continue to speak, Li Tian fell into a deep groan again, he pondered Adelman's previous words, and his mind began to become calm, at this time he vaguely felt that although Adelman said was right, it didn't seem to be all right.

At this stage when Li Tian did not speak, Adelman also remained silent, as if he intended to let Li Tian think for himself.

"No, it's not all true......" After a while, Li Tian said to himself in his heart, and then raised his head to look at Adelman.

"You seem to want to say something." Seeing that Li Tian's eyes were no longer confused but regained his composure, Adelman asked with a smile.

"Coach, I have to admit that there is some truth to what you just said, but that's just an extreme case." Li Tian seriously sorted out his thoughts and spoke.

Adelman then threw a continuing look at Li Tian and motioned for Li Tian to continue.

"I don't choose to force my way through the opponent's defense or even rush to the basket, I can give the ball to my teammates early on the break, or I can choose to throw off the defense with a mid-range pullup jumper. And I can use my teammates' pick-and-rolls to form misalignments, and if I hit a big man, whether it's using my speed and footwork to break through to avoid physical contact, or dribbling away from the opponent to find space to shoot, I can get offensive opportunities. ”

"Good!" After Li Tian said this, Adelman nodded with satisfaction.

"Li, if you can think about this clearly, I'm relieved." Adelman then began to tell Li Tian what he really thought.

"Lee, you didn't attack much with the ball before, and now that you've suddenly developed the ability to attack with the ball, my biggest concern is that you're obsessed with playing with the ball, and I've seen a lot of players like to do it themselves when they think they're good with the ball. Of course, it's not impossible, but it's not for you right now. ”

Speaking of this, Adelman paused slightly, and then continued.

"Your ability to finish under the basket is a weakness, and as the game progresses, if you play more with the ball, that weakness will be caught and magnified by the opponent. On the other hand, when you put too much faith in your ability to attack with the ball, you may become less decisive when you run off the ball, and if that happens, you're sacrificing your best strengths. ”

"The other more important reason is that attacking with the ball costs a lot more than running off the ball, which is crucial for you when you're less fit."

Listening to Adelman's words, Li Tian kept nodding, different from what he said before, what Adelman said now was really to the point, and at this time he also roughly heard what Adelman wanted to express.

"Yes, I think you get what I mean." At this time, Adelman continued: "When you improve with the ball, you get more opportunities, but I hope you don't get obsessed with the individual ball, and scoring as a team is easier and more efficient than individual singles, on the basketball court, there is no doubt about that." ”

"You've got a lot of movement and a good shooting feel, and in the game you have to know how to play to your strengths as best as you can. Of course, you can still choose to attack with the ball at the right time, but it's best to use the blocking of your teammates, and I'll help you adjust tactically. ”

"Okay, thanks, Coach!" Li Tian finally fully understood what Adelman meant at this time, and immediately nodded in agreement.

For Adelman's reminder, Li Tian carefully wrote it down, just now he carefully recalled it, and found that in yesterday's game and today's team training, he does sometimes have a strong urge to attack with the ball, which is obviously worth being vigilant about.

As Adelman said, this is not impossible, but in his current situation, he must choose to attack with the ball rationally. If you use it well, you can naturally increase your threat when attacking, and if you use it poorly, it may even affect your offensive efficiency.

Secretly admonishing himself to play smarter in the game, Li Tian was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly remembered that with the passage of time, his abilities in all aspects would improve, and he stopped again, and then asked Adelman in a joking tone:

"Coach, if, I mean if, if I can improve my fitness and my matchups, if I can improve my finishing ability under the basket, what should I do on the court?"

Adelman was obviously stunned by Li Tian's question, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "If, I also mean if, you can do this, you will have unlimited firing rights on the field, and you can play as you wish." ”

"Haha, that sounds pretty good." Li Tian laughed after hearing this, and then took the initiative to walk towards the physical trainer.

Looking at Li Tian's back, Adelman also shook his head slightly, of course he thought that Li Tian's words just now were really a joke, with Li Tian's current shooting ability and stability, if his physical fitness and confrontation are enhanced, the finishing ability under the basket will be strengthened......

"How could such a bizarre thing happen." Adelman laughed dumbly.
