"My characteristics? It couldn't be clearer, the bounce is average, the dribbling is average, the body is tough, and the speed is more prominent! Li Chen did not shy away from summing up his technical characteristics, although there was a possibility of exposing weaknesses, but he believed that Paul was not such a tasteless person, not to mention that his weaknesses were never a secret.

Of course, in the end, Li Chen still didn't forget to add a sentence, "However, the body will change, the doctor told me during the last physical examination that my development is relatively late, and the skeletal muscles seem to have a lot of room for development, although the height will not change, but the body will become stronger, and the bounce and strength will increase!" ”

"You monster!" After listening to Li Chen's self-report, Paul looked horrified, "At the age of 20, there is still room for development, how slow are you growing?" God, if I can grow a few centimeters longer, I'll be invincible! ”

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "No way, I don't understand what God and his old man meant, if he had let me recognize my talent in basketball earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been wasted for so many years, but it is also possible that God was testing me before!" ”

Paul didn't bother to pay any attention to the stinking guy anymore, and he took it upon himself to introduce the art of dribbling.

"Dribbling is quite important in basketball practice or games, it allows players to carry the ball forward on their own when they can't pass the ball to their teammates; Move the ball to a more advantageous position to pass the ball to a teammate; or control the ball while waiting for a teammate to arrive to receive a pass; Dribble the ball toward the rim yourself and complete a shot or layup. ””

Paul glanced at Li Chen, and he continued, "Considering that you're the core of the Knicks next season and will also have possession, it's also important not to dribble too much. If you dribble too much in the game, you can make the other four teammates stand there and watch you, losing the team spirit that basketball promotes, and dribbling is slower because passing can get the ball to the rim faster. ”

Li Chen agreed, "Don't tell me this, I've been by Kobe's side for a full season, and no one knows better than me the shortcomings of too much dribbling, it can directly improve the anti-water ** of teammates and wear down the defensive enthusiasm of other players on the team!" ”

A certain guy is really hateful, not long after leaving the Lakers, he began to slander the boss, completely ignoring that many of his own progress is inseparable from the other party, even if it is realistic, but this approach should not be.

"You're done, I'll tell Kobe, I will, unless you do something that satisfies me, think about it, right?" Paul thought he had seized Li Chen's handle, and he didn't intend to waste this opportunity, but Li Chen's reaction was unexpected.

"It's okay, do you want me to let you record it again, but I don't think so, Kobe Bryant won't doubt it, dare to say such things arrogantly and prompt you to tell the ** There is no one else but me!"

Li Chen looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, of course, he was indeed a dead pig for a long time, "I don't remember how many times I said this to Kobe, but he always forgot to change it, and it may be that he is too lazy to change it, after all, after so many years, it is easy to change his surname, and there is no way to change it!" ”

Well, the complicated relationship between Li Chen and Kobe Bryant left Paul speechless, and he could only continue to introduce it in order to hide his inner embarrassment.

"Dribble with your fingers, not your palms. It is best not to dribble at a height higher than the waist, relax your wrists when dribbling, and shoot the ball with a downward squeezing action instead of a whipping action, and train both hands to dribble skillfully. ”

Paul also gestured to Li Chen while introducing, Li Chen had always been comfortable and how to dribble before, and he accounted for a lot of some minor problems with dribbling, and this time he could take the opportunity to correct it.

"Although you have great speed, you need to master the technique first when you train, don't think too much about your movement speed when you dribble, gradually increase the speed of the dribble until you reach full speed, and take what kind of speed you can dribble comfortably."

Li Chen used to rush forward with the ball by relying on speed and habitual surname, and now, he has to consider adding some changes in dribbling, after all, his technical characteristics have not reached the point where James has a fresh move, not to mention that James has never forgotten to improve his skills!

"When you dribble, you should keep your head up and keep an eye on the court. If you only look down at the ball while dribbling, it is easy for your opponent to steal the ball, and you will not be able to see your teammates who are in a good position, or even if you are in a position where it is easy to shoot at a certain moment. ”

Paul glanced at Li Chen, and then he shook his head again, "Forget it, it's nothing to you, I haven't been able to understand, why you can still have such a good vision with such a bad dribble, I really can't figure it out, I can only say that it is talent, so how to dribble and how to do it!" ”

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, "I'd better look up and dribble, it looks high-end and handsome, I sometimes feel that my dribble is so stupid when I watch the video, it's time to make a change!" ”

The strange reason made the corners of CP3's mouth twitch slightly, and he pretended not to hear anything, "Control the dribble, when you feel that it is difficult to pass the ball and it is impossible to move forward quickly, or when you are observing the situation on the court and preparing to pass or shoot, you should use the control surname dribble." ”

"Dribble at knee to waist height. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward to make it easier for you to control the ball and change speeds quickly. The arm that is not involved in dribbling should bend the elbow and extend outward, maintaining balance and also preventing the opponent from approaching. ”

Paul began to explain the specific dribbling skills, and he showed Li Chen as he spoke, although it was the most basic, but it was still very useful for someone who had been entertaining himself.

"Dribble quickly, of course when you're going to rush forward with the ball. At this time, you should also lean forward and pat the ball slightly forward, dribbling slightly higher between your chest and waist. The body is facing the direction of movement, and the eyes are looking at the whole field. ”

"Variable speed dribbling, dribblers can use variable speed dribbling to break through the opponent's defense, and of course they can also use sudden changes of direction or other feints. Variable speed dribbling requires changing the height of the dribble in addition to changing the speed of the dribble. Get close to your opponent with a small stride, then suddenly accelerate with a longer stride, and lower the dribble to the knee level for a quick breakaway. ”

Paul is going to systematically sort out the dribbling skills for Li Chen, and indeed, for someone who has been learning miscellaneous arts but is not proficient, this is the most beneficial.

"Also, training dribbling generally requires a pair of special gloves, although it is heavier, but it is very helpful for training the ball feeling, many players in the league use this trick to maintain their feel, such as the white chocolate that used to be very powerful, his dribbling when he was young was very gorgeous!"

After briefly talking about the matters to be paid attention to in dribbling, Paul was about to start talking about the details, and Li Chen, who was deeply affected by the details, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Finger to finger pass, fingers pointing up, this action requires fingers to touch the ball and wrist agility. Pass the ball with the first finger exchanging a quick push and flick, paying attention to the frequency and applying force to the lower half of the sphere. ”

"Hold the ball with both hands facing up, lift it high and then pass it down to the other hand.

When lifting from high to down, you should use force to feel like you are smashing down, but you must ensure that you can hold the ball steadily. ”

"Hold the ball around the neck, hold the ball on one side of the neck, and pass the ball from the back of the neck to the other hand. The action must be fast, the ball must not fall, and the palm of the hand must not touch the ball, otherwise it will be a foul! This action was already a little scratchy, Li Chen watched Paul's demonstration intently, he had seen this action a few times during the game, but it seemed that those people were not as skilled as Paul.

"Similarly, you can hold the ball around your waist and pass the ball from the back of your waist to the other hand.

The action should be fast and not look at the ball, the ball should not fall, and in the same way, the palm should not touch the ball. ”

Li Chen will also use this action, but he almost didn't use it during the game, mainly because he felt that it was too slow, and it was better to push it directly inside, and now it seems that the reason why he is slow is that he is very slow, at least Paul didn't see that it was slow.

"Hold the ball around the feet in an S shape, hold the ball on the side of the foot, step the ball down the foot to make an S-shaped pass to the other foot, the action should be fast, you can't look at the ball, the ball can't fall, and the palms of your hands and feet can't touch the ball." This action is already a little difficult, Paul showed Li Chen back and forth a few times, and he even slowed down a little, "This action requires you to practice carefully, there is no way to take advantage of it, you can only practice!" ”

Li Chen nodded, although he didn't have an idea of how to practice, but the current top priority was to let himself know all kinds of dribbling skills, and then he could combine his own characteristics to train for his surname.

"Stick to the ground and dribble with the ball, slap the ball up quickly with your fingers, and dribble at a fast pace continuously. Because the ball needs to start from a stationary state, the ball should not be held in the palm of the hand, and it should not be higher than 15 cm, the frequency should be fast, the ball should be off the ground, and the ball should not be seen. ”

This action is common in competitions, but there are not many people who can really use it among the people, except for a few masters, it is generally used to play handsome. Of course, someone who plays handsome or something likes it the most.

"Right (left) hand left and right dribble," Paul said one of the most common and practical movements, Li Chen basically mastered the same, and because he didn't have a habitual hand, he could use both hands, but he was still not skilled enough to use it.

"Take the right hand as an example, with the palm of the right hand facing left, dribble the ball to the left, and when the ball bounces, the right hand immediately changes the ball to the right, and then quickly dribbles to the right. Bend your feet in parallel, the ball should not be higher than your knees, do not look at the ball, and dribble with strength and speed. ”

When Paul talked about this action, he emphasized to Li Chen, "For you who can dribble well with both left and right hands, the lethality of this action to the defender is almost huge, because he can't guess whether you are changing hands or changing directions!" ”

Li Chen nodded, he had already told himself to practice this move well, Paul was right, and for him, the action that can make the opponent have a headache is the best action, the best one that can make people powerless, like his shot.

"Change hands on the spot and dribble behind your back, one in front of you and one behind you, the skills are the same, stand parallel with your feet bent and slightly wider than your shoulders, and use the power of your wrists and fingers to do hand-to-hand dribbling, especially in combination with the move just now, it's a big killer!" Paul joked, "Once you've mastered these two, you'll have no one to stop!" ”

Without waiting for Li Chen to brag, Paul said two more actions, dribbling around his feet and dribbling on the spot under his crotch, the former is windy but not practical, and the latter is simple but practical, for Li Chen, these two actions are good, and he does not refuse.

The dribbling explanation of the league's No. 1 point guard benefited Li Chen, who is still a novice in this regard, and most of the essentials are understood, and then as long as he gets some experience and tricks from Paul, I believe his dribbling will begin to improve rapidly.

However, Paul did not forget to warn Li Chen, "Of course, the real trick is definitely not good, just like playing games, you have to practice and play more, practice makes perfect, and you will naturally see progress after a long time." ”

CP3 said with a wicked smile, "Adopting more in games and training is the fastest way to achieve results, of course, don't say that this is what I told you, and a friendly reminder, when the Knicks play against the Hornets, you can practice well, and I can still guide on the spot when the time comes!" ”

And then the passing is similar, because Li Chen already has the most important vision for passing, so the rest is just some detailed action skills, the purpose is also to ensure that the length and direction of the pass and the speed are controlled, these three points plus the field of vision, and the ability to interpret the game, this is all there is to passing.

After that, it's time to train! (To be continued.) )
