Chen Jiyuan and Ewing are concentrating on training, and both of them are Ivanka's save, even if Ivanka is a super beauty, however, this kind of theorem Ewing still exists. The fastest and most stable update dìng)

Chen Jiyuan is very envious of Ewing's defense, but unfortunately, this kind of defensive strength is not something that can be practiced in a while, Chen Jiyuan wants to have great attainments in defense, and he must work hard for a long time. Now Chen Jiyuan can only improve his defensive ability as much as possible.

Chen Jiyuan asked: "Patrick, you say, why do I always feel that my defensive sense is not enough?" ”

Ewing smiled and said, "Chen, I've read your past information, and I also know that you haven't been learning basketball for a long time, so it's normal that you don't have enough experience. ”

In fact, Chen Jiyuan really wanted to say: "I didn't have a short time to learn basketball in my last life. But you can't say it, or it will be bad.

Ewing continued: "After a few days of understanding, I can see a little bit of your defensive problems. ”

Chen Jiyuan asked very excitedly, "Really?" It's much easier to know where the problem is, and tell me what's wrong, Patrick. ”

Ewing signaled Chen Jiyuan not to worry, and said slowly: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly, first of all, the biggest problem with your defense is your mentality." That means you're not defensively right. ”

Chen Jiyuan was a little puzzled, and said: "Every time I defend, I try my best to defend, without the slightest laziness, and without the slightest distraction, why is my mentality wrong?" ”

Ewing said: "I'm talking about the mentality is not that mentality, if you want to strengthen your defense, what you have to change is your defensive mentality, that is, now in your heart, your own defense has become a matter of course." This may have something to do with your first season, but now that you're the leader of the Knicks, it's not so much about the responsibility you need to take on the inside, but the defensive responsibility of the inside, so, first of all, your attitude of not being able to defend yourself has to change. There is no one who can't be defended, this is the mentality that an interior defensive star should have. ”

Ewing's words still touched Chen Jiyuan's heart very deeply, because Chen Jiyuan had never thought of this problem. Chen Jiyuan himself didn't notice this at all, just blindly thought in his heart, my defense is not good, this ball can't be defended just because my defensive ability is not enough, Chen Jiyuan never thought that there was such inertia in his heart. Maybe Chen Jiyuan didn't want to admit this, so he always inadvertently ignored this point before. Now after Ewing raised it like this, Chen Jiyuan has no way to ignore this problem, on the contrary, Chen Jiyuan must face this problem now, but if this level is passed, then in Ewing's words, you will never be able to improve your defensive skills. If you never improve your defense, you won't be able to lead the Knicks forward, and that's the reality, it's that simple.

Chen Jiyuan struggled in his heart, originally, there should not be any hesitation in such a simple matter, but Chen Jiyuan really hesitated now, finally, in his heart, a villain defeated another villain, and the villain who didn't want to continue like this successfully beat another lazy villain. Then, this villain, who represented struggle, said to Chen Jiyuan with a successful smile: "Let's play with our lives to improve our defense." What a bloody shot, this shot appeared in Chen Jiyuan's mind.

Chen Jiyuan nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Patrick, I know, I will definitely change this." ”

Patrick knew that this matter had to be solved by himself, and he only needed to point it out. When Chen Jiyuan described his defensive activities to himself before, Patrick already felt that something was wrong. Later, when I slowly observed Chen Jiyuan's actions, I found more and more that when Chen Jiyuan was defending, in a sense, he didn't fight with all his strength, because Chen Jiyuan had gradually formed a habit of leaving a little room for himself when he was defending. Therefore, Chen Jiyuan will often be very careful in action, and this is also the reason why Chen Jiyuan rarely has six fouls throughout the season, and even Chen Jiyuan rarely gets into foul trouble.

As a team's interior defensive center, there are only two possibilities for such a situation, one, this defensive player is very NB and can control his own fouls very well, but now the most popular interior defender in the league is Howard, and Howard has no way to do this, this situation can only appear in theory. And the second situation is that this player does not defend with all his strength when defending, which is more in line with Chen Jiyuan's situation.

Therefore, Chen Jiyuan improves his defense, and the most fundamental point must be changed, and it can only be changed by Chen Jiyuan himself. The rest of the defensive skills and defensive tactics and strategies are what Patrick can teach Chen Jiyuan. And these skills are what Chen Jiyuan wants to learn.

When Patrick heard Chen Jiyuan's answer, he didn't say anything, but began to teach Chen Jiyuan how to improve his defensive skills.

Patrick said to Chen: "You averaged 1 blocks per game last season. 6 times. That's a pretty good number. However, all this number proves is that you are very good at your physical qualities, and you have the physical capital to become the strongest inside defender. However, what is missing now is the hard work of the day after tomorrow. You have enough arm span and very good bounce and bounce speed. The strength is the top of the league. However, perhaps because of your speed and good jumping, you always like to jump when defending, although you are smart to jump vertically and not get fouled lightly. However, your jumps will still be a defensive hole on your side. So, you have to correct this shortcoming of yours, and you have to learn to jump more carefully. ”

Chen Jiyuan nodded, indicating that he had listened.

Patrick continued: "Next season when you're on defense, try to restrain your jumps, don't always think about blocks or something. ”

After listening to Patrick's words, Chen Jiyuan suddenly felt that what he had done was really not enough. Because there are too many achievements after entering the NBA, director Chen Jiyuan ignored a lot of small details. I always think that my defense is completely a matter of experience, and it is completely that I haven't learned how to defend, as long as I learn, then it will naturally improve, but now the facts have proved that in fact, Chen Jiyuan's new low, there are still a lot of bad habits in my heart, although Chen Jiyuan seems to not pay so much attention to the number of jù, but he can't ignore the number jù. This is human nature, and it is impossible to get rid of it completely. All Chen Jiyuan has to do is face up to this, and then make a stronger defense on top of the number jù.

Patrick said to Chen Jiyuan again: "I tell you that you are the foundation of the foundation, but all the rest of the skills are based on these foundations, that is to say, only if you can integrate these skills, can you master which beating skills, even the skills of creating your own." ”

Chen Jiyuan said: "Okay, then, let's start practicing now, Patrick, I can't wait." ”

Ewing smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll attack, you defend, let me see how far you can go." ”

The next whole morning and afternoon, both of them spent time in training, and Ewing was always attacking, and then Chen Jiyuan was on defense, and Chen Jiyuanzi listened to Ewing's construction of the day, and he could do his best to defend, and he didn't care about fouls or anything at all. Playing like this is definitely not going to work in the game, so this is what I am doing now when I am practicing with Ewing, and it is to change my slack on the defensive end. At such intensity, Chen Jiyuan and Ewing did not rest all day. I've been training, except going out to eat at noon.

In the evening, Chen Jiyuan and Ewing went home separately. Then, on the way home, Chen Jiyuan received a call from Latin, in which Latin said to Chen Jiyuan that Xibodu wanted to see Chen Jiyuan. After knowing that Chen Jiyuan was still in New York, he decided to meet tomorrow. Latin asked Chen Jiyuan if he had time. Of course, Chen Jiyuan agreed. However, Chen Jiyuan asked, "Where is the meeting place?" ”

For this new head coach, Chen Jiyuan is full of respect. In normal times, Chen Jiyuan also respects Thomas, but that is the history of respecting Thomas's star, not his coaching history, and Thibodeau is respecting the history of coaching.

Latin said that it was in the arena, and Thibodeau knew you were going to train, so he offered to meet you at the arena. Tomorrow you can just go to training normally, and I'll go see you with Tom.

Chen Jiyuan agreed on the phone.
