Chapter 43: The Wrong Path
Michael Jordan seemed to recognize me, and he kept giving orders through guò gestures: I must play the ball below.
Chris Whitney's fake pass to me from beyond the three-point line to the basket was my best place to shoot, where I hit 39 baskets in a row during practice. I didn't hesitate to jump, waist force, drive the strength of the whole body, my left hand lightly supported, and my right hand gently pushed out......
A tall white figure appeared in front of me again, the big white hand was getting closer and closer to me, I knew it was the German tank Dirk Nowitzki, my heart suddenly tightened, my hand couldn't help but tremble, and the shot was high.
I yelled, "Rebound!" "It's a pity that the inside of the box is all white, I shot a hollow outside the basket, and the basketball didn't even touch the basket.
Juwan Howard received the basketball, a long pass, Steve Nash received the ball, dribbled forward, and there was no one in front of him. I ran open my thighs and went straight to the backcourt basket.
Steve Nash's flowing figure soared into the air, grabbed the basketball with one hand, stretched out his arms, and made a graceful layup.
I finally got to the paint zone, I finally caught up with Steve Nash, I didn't have any idea in my head, I just wanted to take this basketball down, I jumped, even though I was still 1 meter away from Steve Nash, and I swung my right hand at the basketball hard.
"Smack!" The sound is very crisp and harsh.
"Tick!" The whistle sounded.
I raised my right hand. The batter fouled and made two free throws. This time I was reckless!
Doug Collins made the substitutions, I went down, Christian Leitner went up, Richard Hamilton went up, and Hubert Davis went down.
Christian Leitner and I hugged each other. Walk to the bench.
"Kwame come here!" Doug Collins said in a tone that didn't rise or fall in a bit.
I honestly walked over to Doug Collins.
"Take a good look at how Dirk Nowitzki plays!" Doug Collins said slowly.
I stood there at a loss, staring at the game with wide eyes.
Dirk Nowitzki has a near-perfect shooting technique, covering the entire half of the court, with almost no dead ends, and he can attack from any position, because he is 212 centimeters tall, and his wide-angle step-back jumper is a bug-level attack. In addition to the step-back jumper, he is also very strong in break-through and three-point ability, he has the flexibility that players of the same height do not have, so he often uses the change of pace and rhythm to break through, and when he faces the opponent's outside player, he can use the height advantage to jump directly. The evaluation given to him by Baidu Encyclopedia in later generations is: The scoring machine in the NBA that no one can prevent, no matter who guards him, it can cause dislocation. The tall ones are not as nimble as his feet, and the nimble steps are not as high as him, and he is born a level bug.
"Dirk can shoot threes from the outside, you're good, you can shoot threes, do you see the difference between the two of you?" Doug Collins said without a hint of expression.
"He's able to shoot back-up jumpers from a wide angle!" I feel this very much.
"Hmmm! Count one! Anything else? Doug Collins then asked.
I touched my head, but I didn't know what to say, I thought for a while, and felt that I was too different from Nowitzki in terms of offense in addition to defense, I lowered my head and said, "I'm sorry, coach, for disappointing you!" ”
"Well, it's good to know the gap!" There was a slight hint of relief in Doug Collins' voice, yes, only a hint of relief.
"Nowitzki is completely different from you, Nowitzki has a lot of offensive means, whether it is a breakthrough, a three-pointer, or a basket single, all offensive skills are top-notch, when he attacks, the defense he faces is also ironclad, often two or three people are sandwiched, but you are different, in this team, the first choice of offense is not you, it is Michael, Richard, Christian! Everyone in the world knows that your offense is not good, no one thinks you have the ability to shoot when you hold the ball on the outside, and there is no one to defend, and in the last few games you are always empty when shooting, no one to defend! But this still can't cover up your offensive technical flaws, 211 cm big man can shoot three points is indeed a big bug, but you are different, and you are on the outside jumper, it looks beautiful, but your jump shot needs to make a complete action, no one can interfere with you, your shooting rate will be very high, but as long as someone stands in front of you to interfere with you, you can't do a complete action, you will unconsciously raise your shooting point, in addition, I have made statistics from the video, Your jump height is only 1o centimeters, which is not very high, which makes it easy to interfere with your shot. Your shots from beyond the three-point line can only be used occasionally, not as a regular weapon. ”
Doug Collins had no sadness or joy on his face, as if he was simply recounting something that had nothing to do with him.
"The Spurs' interior David Robinson is old, his feet are not very flexible, his body is not good, he can't come out to defend you on the outside, his backup power forward Danny Ferry was born in 1966, and his feet on the court are no longer flexible, the inside and outside lines can no longer be taken into account, he won't come out to defend you, they only let Tim Duncan come out to defend you, but Tim Duncan's footsteps are slower than you, and the bounce is not good, And when he defends you, he doesn't put all his attention on you, he also has to take care of the inside, he can only stand inside the three-point line and interfere with you, he won't play the three-point line, which is similar to shooting in the open space. So you got 27 points in that game. ”
"The Rockets' Hakeem Olajuwon is gone, his big center Kelvin Cato is slow, he's the only big man on the team, their power forward Taylor has been injured and the season is out, so you have plenty of shots on the outside, so you score high, and if Taylor doesn't get injured, I'm sure you won't score so easily."
"In this game, the old Nelson has shown the shortcomings that you can only shoot in the open position, and from tomorrow everyone will know that you can only shoot in the open position, and all opponents will increase their defense against you, and you will not get the opportunity to shoot easily."
"You've started to shoot your first three-pointer against the Spurs, your mentality has changed a little bit, you've started to like to shoot threes from the outside, and you're not trying to grab rebounds, you're not trying to defend very hard, and of course you're doing a great job in this game!"
"Do you know what the center means?" Doug Collins asked suddenly.
"The one in the middle, the one in the center, the one in the most important!" I replied.
"That's right! It's a pity you don't have a prize! Doug Collins made a little joke.
"The center, the most important person, the most important thing is not because of how many points he can score, but because he is the one closest to the basket, when defending, he is the last barrier, he has to use his foot movement to prevent the opponent from hitting the paint area comfortably, you have to use your palm to fan out every basketball that is going to fly into the basket, even if you can't fan the basketball in the opponent's hand, you have to stretch your arm, put your hand on the opponent's eyes, interfere with their shooting. You have to control every rebound, every rebound is a scoring opportunity, the more rebounds, the greater the team's hope of winning, only the person who controls the rebounds can dominate the entire court! This is the most important duty of a centre-forward! ”
"When attacking, the center is the one closest to the basket, which also means that the shooting percentage is also the highest, with your physical condition, your strength, your bounce, as long as you practice well, it won't take a few years, and the center is perfect, you can easily score under the basket. Unlike now, you have to stand on the outside to get rid of the entanglement of the opponent's inside line and get an empty position to shoot, you are on the wrong track! Completely wrong, none of the NBA's greatest centers have been able to shoot threes from the outside, but that doesn't detract from their greatness! ”
"In these games, you've been scoring a lot up, but your rebounds have plummeted, you've stopped defending as aggressively, you've stopped fighting for some balls, you've strayed from the right path to becoming a great center."
I'm on the wrong path......
