The next day, it seems like an ordinary day, but everyone is excited, because, today is the finals, the real finals, who wouldn't be excited?

Luan Jiye came to the training hall early to train, he didn't want to drop the chain at the critical moment, today at six o'clock, the game officially started, although almost every game starts at six o'clock, but today's significance is extraordinary.

"Come on today! Strive for the championship! Coach Benjamin said.

The players also echoed the loud shout: "Strive for the championship!! ”

Coach Benjamin saw that everyone was also aggressive today, and he was relieved, now he can't relax his spirit, if he is lax, it will be miserable, and he will be killed today, even if there is only one minute left in the game, he may make the opponent's hand feel explosive, or be killed.

Benjamin didn't want everyone to be too tired today, so he didn't arrange any overly tiring training, too lax and too nervous is not good, to be moderate, look at some NBA stars on game days still in luxury cars, wearing suits, there is no tension.

Luan Jiye is practicing back-to-back singles with Bol, because he may be able to use it against Gao Yang today, although Gao Yang is a shooter, but there are times when he has no feeling, he can't keep wasting three points, right?

Dunn is doing strength training, the rest of the team is doing their own training, and it is estimated that except for Walter and Shaun, the substitutes will not have playing time today.

During the lunch break, Dunn said to Luan Jiye: "Luan, let's pay attention to cooperation today!" ”

Luan Jiye nodded and said, "It's okay, empty pick-up, right?" ”

Dunn patted himself and said with a smile, "What's that?" It has to be done! ”

"Then come on!" Luan Jiye said.

The break was over quickly, and Coach Benjamin didn't want to overly fatigue everyone, so he let them organize their own time, and of course, the players stayed in the training hall to continue training.

For the championship, they have to work hard, and it is estimated that after today's game, their whole body will definitely hurt to death.

Luan Jiye suddenly remembered something, said that he went back to the dormitory, and when he arrived at the dormitory, he took out the lucky headband given to him by Maggie from the closet, and Luan Jiye put it on his head directly, and at the same time, Gao Yang also put it on.

......

In anticipation of everyone, it finally arrived at 6 o'clock in the evening, and the game could finally begin!

The team members from the University of Chicago also entered, and Luan Jiye thought to himself: "I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

Everything is ready for warm-up, the game has officially begun, it is still Dunn and Langning fighting for the ball, at this time Zhang Chunming is very nervous, because it is his son's finals, I am afraid that Luan Jiye will be too desperate and injured, Maggie is also very happy to see Luan Jiye and Gao Yang both wearing headbands.

As soon as the whistle blew, the ball was thrown into the air at the same time, and Dunn and Lonnie jumped up for the ball almost at the same time! The ball was still in Dunn's hands.

Gilles got the ball and passed it directly to Luan Jiye, Luan Jiye got the ball and faced Gao Yang, Gao Yang seemed to be more defensive, and defended Luan Jiye to death, Luan Jiye did not play strongly, and passed the ball to Bol.

Bol just had an open three-point chance and shot immediately!

"Huh!" Ball hollow into the net!

The first goal was scored by Harvard, which is a good sign! Ronning served to Gao Yang, Gao Yang attacked the inside line with Luan Jiye, and then made a European step layup!

Let's explain the European step here! It is estimated that many readers do not know what it means:

Euro Step, a passing technique used in basketball when dribbling to the basket. The biggest highlight of this technique is the pace of the layup, which swings from side to side, which makes it easy for the defender to be unable to judge the direction of travel, causing the defender to lose his defensive position.

The founder of this pace can no longer be confirmed, and the origin of this pace cannot be verified, it is said that it is called the European step because of a passing step first adopted by European players when they went to the basket. First used in the NBA by former Lithuanian star Šarūnas Marčiulionis, it was carried forward in the NBA by Manu Ginobili and gradually became popular, becoming a template for later generations to imitate and learn

During running with the ball at high speed, the body moves in the direction of the same foot forward, and the other foot moves in the opposite direction of the foot that landed earlier, and changes direction in a big stride, and then the body also moves in the direction of the other foot. It is equivalent to changing direction at high speed, and at the same time as the other foot lands, the upper body completes the change of direction, and uses the foot that lands as the supporting foot, exerts force, jumps, and lays up to avoid walking. This action is a very beautiful and practical European step.

The difficulty of completing the European step lies in the high requirements for body coordination, the combination of man and ball should be good, the ball follows the upper body, and when changing direction, it is necessary to follow the upper body to complete a large change of direction, and the combination of man and ball is not good to change direction and it is easy to lose the ball.

In the NBA, Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs' serpentine breakthrough is a model of the European step, gorgeous, sharp and very practical, Dwyane Wade's European step is also a leader, and it is also called a lost step by domestic fans, and the new captain Chris Paul's European step is also amazing, including the previous league's fastest Devin Harris, the rapid change of direction in the high-speed advance is very high ornamentation and difficulty, and the King's Terrick Evans's European step is also good, James · Harden is the representative of the new generation of European steps. European steps are now widely used in the NBA!
