Chapter 19: Special Training (II)

"Maybe you don't know much about the functions of each position. Coach Taoka asked Naito again, seeing Naito nodding.

In fact, Naito knows the various positions on the basketball court, but he doesn't know so much about them, and he also wants to hear what Shigeichi Taoka thinks about the functions of these positions, and maybe he can also see his own positioning and the focus of his training.

"In basketball, there are five people on the court, one person in one position, and in terms of numbers, it is divided into: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5. The No. 1 position is the point guard (PG), the No. 2 position is the scoring guard (SG), the No. 3 position is the small forward (SF), the No. 4 position is the power forward (PF), and the No. 5 position is the center (C). You must know this, so I'll dwell on it again. ”

"First of all, let's talk about point guard, also known as playmaking guard. A point guard is the person who has the most opportunities on the court, controls the game, and organizes the offense. They have to take the ball safely from the back to the front court, and then pass the ball to other teammates to create scoring opportunities for their teammates. Assists are their number one priority, and the point guard plays the role of a director on the court like directing a great show. ....”

A point guard is often the last scorer on the team, and he doesn't shoot easily unless none of his teammates have a good chance to shoot. The rule of a point guard is that if any teammate on the court has a better chance than him, he must give the ball to the teammate with the better chance. In terms of specific scoring methods, perimeter and cutting are two essential tools for point guards.

"Shooting guard is a guard whose main task is to score, his body is generally higher than that of a point guard, and his perimeter shooting is his main means of scoring. ”

The shooting guard is the second-highest scorer on the court after the small forward, but he doesn't need to practice the small forward's one-on-one skills, as he is often helped by his teammates to find gaps before shooting.

The No. 3 position, also known as Small Forward, is the most important scorer on the team. A good small forward must not only have enough height to score under the basket, but also have excellent speed and score with fast breaks and breakaways. As the end of the team's offense, he needs to have considerable mid-range shooting skills and breakthrough ability.

"Xiandao's position is small forward, and the most fundamental requirement for Xiandao is to score, so most of the team's offensive ball is in Xiandao's hands. Shigeichi Kooka explained to Naito from the role of the player position why Sendo can often hold the offensive ball on the court.

"The small forward is usually the last stop of the team's outside offensive strategy, and once the ball is in the hands of the small forward, it has to be converted into a score. In Lingnan, as long as Xiandao can score, the offensive core of the team is him. "It has long been clear in Taoka's heart that the outside line is based on Sendo as the offensive core, and the inside line is dominated by fish pillars attacking under the basket, and the team's offensive power is Sendo.

Although Naito is stronger than Yuzhu in terms of physical fitness, Naito is still not as good as Yuzhu in height, and Naito is still in the first grade, although he has great potential, there is still a lot of time to develop his offensive ability in the future. After all, the fish pillar has been cultivated by him for more than a year, so he still put the fish pillar in front of Naito.

"I just told you about the small forward, now we're going to talk about the big forward. Power Forward (PowerForward) is almost always a hard job on the team, grabbing rebounds, defense, and positioning are his main tasks, and when it comes to shooting and scoring, he is almost the last on the team. Therefore, the power forward can be regarded as the most inconspicuous role on the basketball court. ”

"The first job of a power forward is to grab rebounds. The power forward is usually the one who grabs the most rebounds on the team, and he has to cooperate with the center in the restricted area to defend the position, and also pick up the rebounding responsibility of the whole team. On offense, the power forward often helps his teammates cover and try to grab rebounds when his teammates shoot to prepare for the second offense. ”

In general, there is very little time required for a power forward to attack alone, while the power forward's offensive methods are mainly close attacks such as turn-around shots and small hooks. Due to the small number of shots made by the power forward, and the position where he shoots is generally very close to the basket, the shooting rate of the power forward also needs to be relatively high, generally speaking, it should be the highest shooting rate among the five positions on the court, and a qualified power forward should have a shooting rate of more than 50%.

Compared with scoring, the rebounding of the big forward must be more grasping, and the ability to block when defending is also necessary for the power forward, because their task is to consolidate the defense of the restricted area.

"So, the first priority for a power forward on the court is to do two things well: rebounding and defending. Through the first two practice games, I realized that you are very talented in rebounding and blocking, which is why I put you as a power forward. A good power forward is still the main task of defending in the box, and this is what I ask you to do in the future. Shigeichi Kooka finally got to the point.

"With your physicality, combined with your talent for rebounding and blocking, you're definitely going to be the top power forward in the country. ”

Hearing Shigeichi Taoka's words, Naito disagreed. A power forward who can only grab rebounds and defend and does not participate in the offense, is also worthy of being called the top power forward in the country?

Although he rarely played basketball in his previous life, he didn't eat pork, hasn't he seen a pig walking? Don't forget, Naito grew up in the 21st century in his previous life.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, it has been an era of big forward talents, and he has not watched the NBA game videos in his previous life, and he can still close his eyes and say several famous power forwards of the present generation: Wolves Kevin Garnett, Stone Fertim Duncan, German Tank Dirk Nowitzki, Spain's Pau Gasol, Clippers' Blake Griffin, DeMarcus Cousins, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love, etc., as well as the new generation of power forward Anthony Davis. Even Little Melon Anthony has played power forward, and these are all active players before Naito's crossing, which of them is bad offensively? Most of them are the offensive core of the team, and the worst ones still have some offensive power.

Instead of being like he is now, he can only do hard work and be a blue-collar worker. It can only be said that Shigeichi Taoka is too conservative, as long as he has the ability to score, no matter what position he plays, he can also control the offensive ball. And the team has one more point of attack, the more difficult it is for the opponent to defend, to prevent one point of attack, and there is another point of attack, and it is impossible to prevent all points of attack. That's why many teams in the NBA have the practice of star huddles.

Shigeru Okaka looked at what Naito seemed to be thinking, and thought that Naito was seriously thinking about the advice he had arranged for Naito.

"As for the center, as the name suggests, the center is the central figure of a team, with their strong, tall body, they are the pivot of the team in both offense and defense, hence the name center. Of course, scoring is also the responsibility of the center, who is the main interior scorer. "Then Shigeichi Kooka introduced Naito to the last one - the center.

"The above are the functions of each position, and I will briefly introduce them to you. You still need to experience it slowly in the future competitions. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he actually felt that he was focusing on defensive development and limiting Naito's other abilities.

"yes, I see. Naito understood what Taoka meant. Through the conversations of the veteran players and his own recent observations, Naito has an indirect and direct understanding of Shigeichi Taoka, and knows that this person is a very good and powerful person. No one is allowed to challenge his authority in the team, not even Yuzhu, the player he values the most.

"It's a little unfair to you, but there's not much time left until the county tournament, and for the sake of the team's current interests, I hope you can make a temporary sacrifice for the team. Although I didn't have much time with Naito, I still learned some about Naito's situation from the team's former manager, Harugami Liting. This is a very diligent and serious child, although he usually doesn't talk much and is silent, he feels mature and obedient, and he must also be a person who cares about the overall situation, so Taoka feels the need to communicate with Naito first.

"Of course, this is only for the time being, and after the county tournament, we will focus on developing your offensive talent. In his heart, Naito is just a 15-year-old boy, and he has to give him some comfort appropriately, so as not to make Naito's heart have a pimple. In order not to discourage Naito's enthusiasm, but also to encourage Naito, Tianoka still gave Naito a promise.

Naito's physicality and ability surpass Ujo, and it's impossible for Shigeichi Taoka not to develop his offense.

"Well, I understand. Naito could only nod his head in response, Coach Taoka can tell him frankly like this, he has already made a big concession, and you can't blame others, after all, people have made a guarantee from the chairman of the school that they must achieve good results in this year's county competition.

Seeing that Naito understood what he meant, Shigeichi Taoka finally put his mind at ease. Naito Tetsu is also an important piece of the puzzle in Lingnan, if it is not for the time short, he will not only have to make changes to Naito, but also to change the fairy way, of course, all this has to be left after the prefectural competition.

After the conversation, Naito followed Coach Taoka out of the locker room.

"Drop!!" Shigeichi Kooka blew the whistle for the assembly.

All the players who were resting rushed over to gather.

"Let's start the ball skills training, the training items are: 1, ball practice 2, foot movement 3, receiving and passing skills 4, dribbling skills 5, shooting skills 6, breakthrough skills 7, defensive skills 8, steal blocking skills 9, rebounding skills. "First of all, Tian Oka told the players about the items of ball training.

"Ball practice, foot movement, receiving and passing skills, and dribbling skills are collective training, and the shooting skills, breakthrough skills, and defensive skills are grouped and targeted training according to each person's position. ”

After arranging the training plan, the ball skills training officially begins. Although the intensity of technical training is not as great as that of physical training, there is still a lot of exercise, and the constant repetition of a certain technical movement also challenges the patience of the players.

Under the hard work of the players, the two-hour ball training ended, and with the whistle of Shigeichi Taoka, the first day of special training was officially over.

"Hey, Naito, pack up and let's go. Sendo took a towel to wipe the sweat dripping from his body and greeted Naito, who was still training.

"Hehe, you go first, I want to continue practicing for a while. Naito wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at Sendo.

"Dizzy, I've convinced you, you're really a training maniac!!" Xiandao stroked his head, really admiring Naito's determination.

"Forget it, you train slowly, I'll go first. Bye-bye!" Xiandao packed his things into his sports backpack and carried the bag back to the dormitory.

The stadium was getting less and less crowded, and most of the players went home with their sports bags after washing and changing in the locker room.

There are very few people who take the initiative to stay and practice voluntarily, that is, Naito, Ikegami, cross-country, and grass planting are willing to stay and practice.

"Hey, Elder Chi, I'm going to delay your training again, so I'm going to continue to ask you for advice and study. In addition to the training content arranged by the training coach, Naito also continued to learn defensive skills from Ikegami on the outside while staying for training.

"Hehe, I said that your kid is already very strong in interior defense, and you still need to be so serious about learning outside defense? I'm curious why do you want to learn outside defense?" Ikegami said the curiosity in his heart, at the time of winter training before, Ikegami wanted to ask, but Naito had not officially joined Lingnan at that time.

"Hehe, in fact, no, I just want to learn from the experience of Chikami's seniors and master more outside defense skills, which is also good for me to defend the outside players who break into the inside line, as long as I make myself stronger!" Naito explained vaguely, he also wanted to be like James of the Cavaliers in his previous life, from the No. 1 defense to the No. 5 position, and be an excellent player with comprehensive skills, but he was not good at telling Chigami directly about this reason.

"Oh, that's right. No problem, just learn from me in the future. After listening to Naito's explanation, Ikegami readily agreed. In fact, Ikegami is also happy to coach Naito. He felt that Naito was a very good person, not only modest and polite, but also diligent and studious, and a friend worth making.

"Hehe, Naito, you see that I teach you so hard, you have to treat me well, do you see if you can invite me out to eat more in the future, the quality of the food in the school canteen is not so delicious." Ikegami joked with a smile.

"Hehe, this is easy to say, it's a trivial matter, please come this weekend, cross-country and grass planting, you two can also come together!" Naito boldly agreed, and by the way, he also invited cross-country and grass planting.

"Haha, no problem, so we're touching the light of the seniors on the pond. The energetic off-road also opened his mouth to join in the fun, and the steady grass planting wisdom nodded silently.

"Of course, so you have to thank Ikegami seniors, hehe, of course you have to thank me, but I don't need your thanks, just teach me all your mastery privately in the future, I don't mind at all. Naito also showed off his humor.

"Haha!!" Ikegami, off-road, and Uekusa all laughed at Naito's humor.

The cheerful atmosphere made the three people who stayed to practice full of energy.

At today's level of training, you train six days a week and have a day off on Sunday.

Except for the additional tactical training on Saturday on Ooka, the daily training content is about the same, and the intensity of training is the same. It's a real devil's training.
