Jeff Hornacek slowed down the motion with a basketball and posed and said, "I usually pay attention to these points when I shoot. Keep your feet apart enough apart, don't put them together, and spread your legs as far as you can, so ......"

Everyone looked at it carefully, and some people took notebooks to record it.

Jeff explained seriously: "Note, at this time, the center of gravity should fall on the heel, so that it is stable when jumping, and the toes jump faster, but it is not easy to grasp the center of gravity, and the waist is slightly bent while maintaining the strength of the upper limbs, which you have to feel." Then there are the hand points, keeping your elbows straight and shooting with one hand, your fingers as wide as possible. Then take off and look at the top of the basket. ”

"Aren't you looking at the basket?" Harris interjected.

"Look at the top, try to shoot a high arc, the three-point arc is high, and it is easier to hit." Jeff threw the ball, the arc was high, and the ball hollowed into the net.

Gordon raised his hand and asked, "Sir, Kobe's shooting arc is not high, but his accuracy is not bad, can that shooting method be imitated?" ”

It's clear that he's a Kobe fan.

Jeff replied: "This varies from person to person, and low arc is not bad, provided that the player who chooses to shoot with low arc has to have excellent bounce or be tall. Bryant took a lot of shots and his shooting percentage was inconsistent. I recommend getting into the habit of high arcs. ”

His implication is that if a player with a low arc shot jumps short, it may affect the shooting rate, and the efficiency will be dismal at the end of his career.

Gordon was a little depressed and asked, "Isn't Kobe Bryant bad?" ”

Jeff said embarrassedly: "Of course not, Kobe's shooting can be said to be very good in the whole way, the flow of power is from the bottom up, and the power is not dispersed in the process, which is beautiful and beautiful." But that's not something that everyone can do. ”

In fact, from a physical point of view, a parabolic shot with straight up and down has the largest area in the frame and the highest hit rate relatively speaking, while the parabola of 60 degrees is twice as large as 30 degrees in the frame area.

Harris raised his hand again and asked, "Who is the best shooting style in the NBA to be imitated right now?" ”

"Ray Allen, you can watch more of his game. If anyone can break Reggie Miller's record for total three-pointers in the future, I think it must be him. ”

This evaluation is too high, and many people don't believe it. At the shooting guard position, Ray Allen lacks popularity.

Ray Allen is an underrated player with super physical fitness, bounce and explosiveness among black players, super high basketball IQ, and unmatched shooting ability.

He was very efficient and beat Kobe Iverson. But he didn't get any personal honors, he didn't make it for a while, which is actually because of his personality. He was too selfless and gentlemanly, never paid attention to personal statistics, and always pursued the principle of team first.

He can score more than 20 points quietly, and he always scores more than 20 points, and he will not shoot infinitely. If he doesn't brush up on 50+ a few times, who will think he is a superstar?

Jeff grabbed another basketball and struck the same pose as before. "Plucking the ball with your fingertips when you shoot and grasping the strength when you shoot, it takes a lot of practice to memorize. Also, keep your shoulders forward and relaxed. The ball and arms should go straight up. Keep your shoulders level and complete the movement smoothly. How's that, it's not difficult, right? ”

Everyone is silent, isn't it difficult? Then why are they not allowed?

It's hard to get all the details right in a simple shot, and it's become instinct for Hornacek. He doesn't actually think about these things when he shoots, but as long as he does this, the shooting feeling will naturally improve.

The players then practiced separately and Jeff took turns coaching.

After teaching the basics once, he opened a small stove for Wang Jun alone.

Wang Jun's foundation is great, his wrists are flexible, his shooting posture is no problem, his shots are fast, and his movements are smooth. But his hit rate is inconsistent, always a little worse.

Jeff couldn't see his problem either, and could only ask for details in the end. "Wang, I've heard that you shot more than 90% of your three-point shooting rate more than once, and once you were in a state of fatigue after work, what were you thinking at that time? This could be the key to solving your hit rate problem. ”

What do you think? It's a really hard question to answer, I think of "using props"!

Then I thought "it's only ten minutes, time must not be wasted". How do you say this to others?

Wang Jun thought about it for a while before he came up with a good rhetoric. "I didn't think about anything special at the time, I just held my breath when I was shooting, I wanted to shoot quickly, shoot a few more shots in a short period of time, shoot as many times as I wanted to shoot in a few minutes, I wanted to test my limits, and that's it."

Jeff suddenly realized, slapped his fist, and said with a smile: "I thought about it, I said a little less just now, the rhythm of shooting is also related to breathing, you found the rhythm of shooting when you held your breath." ”

"Breathe?" Wang Jun is no stranger to this word, and he practices breathing and breathing every night.

"Yes, you try to catch the ball with a deep breath and hold your breath when you jump. Remember, it's the wrist that is soft rather than the whole body relaxed, and it's easier to maintain the strength of the upper limbs when you're holding your breath, throwing the ball out, and then exhaling that breath when you hit the ground, and that feeling of relief is often accompanied by a goal. ”

As he spoke, Jeff took a basketball and said to Wang Jun, "Get ready." ”

Wang Jun nodded and immediately entered the state.

Jeff passed the ball, Wang Jun held his breath before receiving the ball, jumped up, shot, and the ball went in.

He exhaled that breath when he landed, and obviously felt that his upper limbs were more stable in his breath-holding state.

Jeff picked up the ball under the basket and passed it to Wang Jun, shooting in the same way, Wang Jun missed one shot after hitting nine shots in a row, there was an indescribable sense of pleasure, and the movements were very smooth.

Is it really because of the rhythm of this breath? It would be great if I could increase the command rate.

The more Wang Jun practiced, the more energetic he became, and the gratitude in his heart to the three members of the Hornacek family became stronger and stronger, and they all helped him a lot.

Also listening to Jeff's guidance, by the end of the afternoon practice, there was no change in the shooting percentage of others, and they were basically still relying on Meng.

Harris Gordon shot slightly better, but he got used to his past shooting posture and was not easy to change.

Only Wang Jun did everything Hornacek said. His shooting posture was already standard, and now even the rhythm of his breathing has changed. Although the shooting percentage has not improved much, the transition from receiving the ball to shooting has become more fluid.

After the training session, Jeff said to David: "Dad, you and Abby are right, Wang Jun is a genius, as long as he arranges tactics and allows him to play to his strengths, it is entirely possible for him to be selected by the NBA team next year." ”

"Do you think there are any other people who can practice three-pointers?"

Jeff shook his head: "They're all too rigid, they're used to a shooting stance, and they don't even have the courage to change them." In the NBA, there are people who shoot with their left hand and change their shooting to their right hand. It's a good thing to change bad habits in college, but they don't want to try, and I think that apart from Wang Jun, only Kaman is more promising. ”

"You and Chris seem to have a good relationship, Jeff." David laughed.

"Don't you know what that guy's personality is? He almost nagged me to death. Jeff shuddered.

Change requires courage and, above all, understanding. The three members of the Hornacek family are optimistic about Wang Jun's understanding.

Jeff Hornacek has undergone a major change back then. He started in the NBA with the Suns as a point guard, shooting 27.9 percent from three-point range, 29.3 percent from three-point range, and 33.3 percent from three-point range, respectively. At the beginning, his main offensive means were breakthrough and ball sharing, and he didn't shoot many three-point shots.

Later, he developed a style of play of running and catching shots, and despite his height of only 193cm, he switched to a shooting guard, and gradually became a star.

If he hadn't changed at the beginning, played point guard for a lifetime, and focused on organization, it is estimated that not many people would know him when he retired in the end, let alone the famous "death gun" in the NBA.
