Chapter 331: Manu teaches and rewards a bottle of Overlord

Harden didn't dare to look at Jiang Chao, and hesitated: "I'...... It's okay, it's average. ”

Jiang Chao: "Then you think from the bottom of your heart, we have to rely on defense or offense to win the Heat?" ”

Harden didn't even think about it: "Offense, definitely offense!" ”

This was his first thought after playing two games, and the only way to beat the Heat was to outpower them!

To a certain extent, Zhang Weiping's words are right, you don't score as much as the other side, how can you win?

Jiang Chao: "Okay, since you know, why don't you step up your shot?" ”

Harden: "I want to give ...... to my teammates"

"Don't talk about it, take out the way you were in college, don't forget your college coach's words, can you???"

"Don't say you forgot, then I'll tell you now!"

Andy Otochne (Harden's college teammate and forward): Harden worked with us during the summer, and I noticed that he had a great basketball IQ, but he had a soft style of play and he didn't like to fight.

When we were playing wild football, we often played against professional players, such as Ike Diogu and Amare Stoudemire, who had come to play at our school. I'm going to deliberately put Harden in front of them and let him suffer in the confrontation.

"Are you going back to the time when the game was soft again?"

At first, the coaching staff was pushing Harden to play more aggressively.

For example, head coach Heb Sandke said directly to Harden, who was just 17 years old:

"You can't pass the ball anymore, you're a five-star high school student, you're going to show your golden left hand skills!"

It wasn't long before the 6-foot-5inch, 218-pound guard showed his dominance!

And now, Jiang Chao also wants Harden to recall his college days, the powerful left-handed Brother Deng who can overturn anyone!

Harden obviously lowered his head, but what he was thinking now was that the NBA and the college league were not at the same level at all, how could he still use the style of play in college in front of a player like LeBron James!

Self-confidence is the word that has plagued Harden's career throughout.

At this time, Jiang Chao incarnated as the first to blow:

So, you're averaging 25+ points per game in college and you're averaging 6.1 points per game in the NBA playoffs? We don't play triangle offenses again! ”

"Boss, I'm ......"

"What are you!!

You're one of the best and most ideal offensive players of all time.

And it's the kind of template that can enter the "Museum of Skills".

The perfect combination of creativity and competitiveness – by the way, these are the two things that I value the most.

There are only three shooting guards in history that can compare to you (Jordan, Kobe, Baylor). ”

Harden is stupid:

"The owner...... Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration...... Exaggerated? ”

said so, and the chicken blood in the body was directly fought.

Is this a crazy hint, I am God!! I'm Nick Bryant!!

Jiang Chao punched him directly in the bear's mouth:

"You just think of yourself as them, crazy fast break, crazy breakout, crazy shooting, I let you practice shooting for a season, plus your speed like the wind, you can't beat Wade and James, these 'old people'????"

Hahaha!

D'Antoni laughed wildly in his heart when he heard it, what he wanted was this kind of brainwashing from the boss!!

And it's true that their coaching staff is also thinking about Harden opening up the situation.

The first two games have made it very clear why the Knicks are easy to be dumb because of the Heat's high-pressure and infinite defensive system.

Under the defensive system of the Heat, the Knicks' offensive system for Curry is equivalent to half useless, and everyone in the Heat team can be infinitely replaced.

There's only one way to break down their outside defenses right now!!

That is, he - D'Antoni, Mr. Mustache has always wanted to engage in a concept in his coaching career - magic ball!!

Just listen to the boss brainwash Harden for now.

"Shout out, you're the best point guard!!"

Harden finally roared:

"I'm the best !!!"

The old pyramid scheme is ......

It's not that Jiang Chao is really brainwashing in MLM, MLM is painting cakes, and Harden really has this strength.

Now because his teammates are very good, this season's Harden is more of a wedding dress for his teammates, playing the guard version of Tekdrew.

Therefore, it is not called painting cake, it is called opening the valve!

Later, Harden's single-season honors were sideways to veteran stars such as James and Wade, or that sentence, the people around him stopped and stopped, but his 3-pair data was as simple as drinking water, and it was more horizontal than the second brother and big brother leading the team alone!

In this world, Jiang Chao is not helping the seedlings, since the trading of players such as Big Q and Larry Hughes, Jiang Chao has already wanted to make Harden's career shine faster.

"D'Antoni, tell Harden about your tactics."

“OK！”

Next, Jiang Chao made coffee next to him, and D'Antoni and Harden's relationship with Harden in the Knicks opened again!!

Magic Ball!!

Harden!!

You can't have one without the other!

After getting the power, the mustache did everything he could to tell Harden:

"In today's era of efficiency, more and more players are "magicalizing" their shot selection. The so-called "magic ball" is when a player shoots mainly under the basket and outside the three-point line. ”

obviously felt that Harden's eyes were different, and this tactic seemed to be born for him???

Magic ball, simply put, is three points & breakthrough, at most one more point, everyone plays like this, especially the ball holder, and needs to play like this!

The cumulative percentage of shots taken by a player from beyond the three-point line and under the basket is defined as his magic ball.

In fact, in his previous life, in terms of shot distribution, Harden was a player with a magic ball in his rookie season, and his magic ball degree that season was 76.64%.

And over the next two years, Harden went further and further down the path of the magic ball.

In the Thunder's final season, Harden reached a staggering 85.69%, averaging 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. In particular, Harden's true shooting percentage that season was 66 percent, a career-high.

In his first four seasons with the Rockets, Harden's style of play changed.

Although his magic ball is still above 70%, his scoring rate in the middle range has gradually increased.

Compared with Jiang Chao's complete magic ball before the crossing, Harden at that time could be called a mid-distance master.

In his fifth season with the Rockets, Harden's style of play has changed dramatically, and his magic ball has gradually increased over time.

In the 2016-17 season, Harden had a magic ball of 78.54 percent.

By the 18th season, that number had reached 86.09%.

Harden, who plays with the magic ball, is one of the three best players in Jiang Chao's crossing, and he is directly the league's No. 1 quarterback

But in the more competitive playoffs, Harden didn't show the dominance he did during the regular season, and he never took the team to the Finals.

"I really like to shoot threes, and I like to go in and play against opponents." Brother Deng touched his head and looked very excited, this kind of play knew that it was fast as soon as he heard it.

"Okay, I'll tell you about the pros."

Jiang Chao raised his hand and smiled: "I think George can too, let's add George up and analyze it together." ”

"Okay!"

Jiang Chao thought of the Thunder George of the later generations, which was a completely different style of play from the Pacers.

After the transfer to the Thunder, George embarked on the road of magic ball, and he also ushered in the peak of his career.

In his first season with the Thunder, George shot 45.45 percent from beyond the three-point line.

Meanwhile, George and 22.84% shot under the basket.

George's magic ball in the '17-18 season was 68.29%.

In the 18-19 season, George's style of play became even more magical, reaching 71.38%.

Throughout the 18-19 regular season, George averaged 28 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.21 steals and 0.44 blocks per game.

He averaged only points per game to Harden and led the league in steals per game. Because of his outstanding performances during the regular season, George was named to last season's All-Defensive First Team and All-Defensive First Team.

Both men have grown from ordinary All-Star players to superstars after their playing style turned into a magic ball.

Hearing George, Harden also felt strange, his fate with George seems to be deeper than Curry, after all, when he tried out George, he also taught Harden five tricks.

D'Antoni began his own trick:

Advantage 1: High scoring efficiency

In terms of scoring efficiency, the magic ball style of play is a more efficient way of playing.

Most players hit a bit more from the field when they shoot under the basket than they do from mid-range.

While George and Harden are only average in the NBA for their performances under the basket, they both shoot over 50 percent from the field in this area.

For comparison, despite Paul being one of the NBA's top mid-range maestro, his mid-range shooting percentage is not far from that of Harden and George.

As for the scoring efficiency of the three-point shot, it's even more interesting.

Harden is shooting 36 percent from three-point range this season, ranking only 90th in the NBA.

George's three-point shooting is a bit more accurate, but he doesn't shoot many, and his three-point shooting percentage doesn't rank in the top 20 in the NBA.

According to the knowledge of mathematics and statistics, the scoring efficiency of three-point shots is 1.5 times that of two-point shots.

So, while Harden and George aren't among the best in the NBA for their three-point shooting, they both shoot over 50 percent of their true three-point percentage.

Thanks to the magic ball play, although Harden and George are shooting just over 40% from the field this season, both of them are shooting more than 57% from the field.

Advantage 2: Good killing effect

Magic Ball encourages players to score under the basket, which means that players with Magic Ball play will frequently hit the inside.

The frequency of impacting the inside line is higher, and the number of kills increases.

Although some fans don't think it's a good guy to score from the free throw, that doesn't deny the value of making a kill.

From the perspective of scoring efficiency, free throws are a cost-effective way for many players to score.

Harden smiled meaningfully when he heard this, Jiang Chao also looked at him, and the Harden he taught was the most effective time now.

Both Harden and George have shot over 85 percent from the free-throw line this season, which means they're averaging over 1.4 points per 2 free throws, which is a pretty scary number.

To achieve this level of scoring efficiency in athletic warfare, they would need to shoot over 70 percent from two-point range and over 48 percent from three-point range.

Killing is not only an efficient means of scoring, but also a deterrent to the opponent's defense.

When opposing defenders have committed more than four fouls, they are caught in a dilemma: if they continue to defend at high intensity, the defender may leave the court with full fouls.

Reduce the defensive intensity, and it will be easier for the opponent to score.

All in all, a basketball player who is good at killing can help the team win on both offensive and defensive ends.

This set of D'Antoni said Jiang Chao is also the first time that he has really heard it, and he is worthy of being the man who made Harden famous, and Deng Ge, who averaged 11.7 free throws per game, is not covered.

"What a magic ball!"

Jiang Chao praised the mustache, although the magic ball in the future also has a lot of shortcomings, but now that the Knicks have never used it at all, there will definitely be no such situation in the future life.

On the negative side, both of them also had some common problems after their playing style was magicalized, such as their overall performance during the playoffs was far less than that of the regular season.

It is easy to be targeted by opponents.

Basketball players who play the magic ball style strive to be efficient on the offensive end, but also expose their own shooting selection bias.

During the competitive playoffs, players with a Magic Ball style are prone to being targeted by opposing players.

Why didn't Harden show his regular-season dominance in the playoffs? The ease of being targeted by the opposition is an important reason.

When Harden is on the ball, the opposing team's defensive thinking is very clear, either defending him from three-pointers or limiting his efficiency under the basket.

Jiang Chao thought of the funniest thing, Rubio during the Timberwolves, he even stuck behind Harden in order to prevent Harden from making a three-point retreat.

As for limiting Harden's scoring under the basket, opposing players mostly choose to increase physical confrontation.

While Harden hits free throws more frequently during the regular season, the whistle in the playoffs is generally tighter, which is very bad for Harden.

Another problem is that shoulders are too prone to injury, and the magic ball style encourages players to hit the basket, which makes them vulnerable to shoulder injuries.

The most direct reason why George suffered from shoulder injuries in later generations is that he has killed too many baskets.

The number of basket kills means that George has more frequent physical confrontations with the opposing team.

The more physical confrontations, the more collisions George's shoulders suffered. In this case.

George's repeated shoulder injuries were a logical thing to do.

The same problem isn't just with George, Harden is no exception.

While Harden hasn't suffered a devastating injury throughout his career, he has suffered multiple shoulder injuries over the past few years.

For basketball players, a shoulder injury can not only affect the breakaway threat, but also be fatal to their shooting feel.

Nothing in this world is perfect, and the magic ball style is no exception.

For most players who just want to improve their scoring efficiency, playing with the magic ball is a proven strategy.

But for those star players who want to lead the team to win the championship, playing with the magic ball is not necessarily a good thing.

Jiang Chao knew this, and there was no need to disturb D'Antoni's interest now, D'Antoni's theory was at least to go west and almost overturn the universe.

And compared to the Rockets of later generations, the Knicks are not Harden now, let alone George leading the team, so it is completely feasible as a strange move for G3.

Actually, it's not a miracle trick.

Jiang Chao directly summarized to the mustache: "Even if you don't wrap up in the next game, don't pass the ball, do it yourself, and you will also convey it to George." ”

“OK！” Harden nodded.

George only averaged seven or eight minutes per game, so he didn't need to be there, but Harden was really crucial.

However, D'Antoni called out to Boss Jiang and asked a little worriedly:

"Isn't it too risky for G3 to use this theory? If the ball is not given to Tek Drew, the organization will not be fine, but Harden may not be able to break through the Heat's outside defense again and again? ”

This is his concern for Harden's ability, after all, this is the strongest outside defensive lineup on the other side.

It's okay if the ball isn't in the agent's hands, the agent hasn't broken through now, it's too difficult to play this tactic, but can Harden?

Jiang Chao: "Do you believe that Harden's ability is good, besides, we still have foreign aid." ”

At this time, he converted the computer screen, and directly the top of his head was becoming more and more thin, but the white man with a high nose bridge with a handsome face greeted everyone in the super chat video chat interface:

"Hello, D'Antoni, hello, Harden!"

Manu. Ginobili!!

Yesterday he suddenly called Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao thought he was going to help him maintain the Apollo Sun God, but he said to help the Knicks, he recently rode around the lake in New Jersey, of course, the main thing is that he has been watching Jenway is not happy, watching Harden is very cool!

James is because he pretends to be forced every time he meets him, and the Olympic and World Championships are also revenge.

Wade, which is the most hanging, the Lost Walk or the Spirit Snake Step, has always been a topic of discussion for everyone, and the two are secretly competing against each other.

Harden is the junior he admires the most in recent years, the reason is naturally that Harden is also an excellent left-handed player, and his style of play is very similar to Manu.

And this is one of the players who knows Janeway best, right?

With so many counterpoints, he can definitely give Harden the best teaching!!

This made Jiang Chao directly feel that it was an unexpected joy, did this Nima spur's wool still take the initiative to send it to the door?

Or the hairiest one?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao also took advantage of it today, and directly let Manu listen to the tactics, and Manu naturally knew the significance of this tactic.

The key is whether the breakthrough of the magic ball can break through!

If you don't break through, then the defender can defend you with three points, and solve everything closely, but if the breakthrough is very sharp, then the defender will be in a dilemma.

"I'll come over and teach you how to walk the snake! It's no problem to suddenly kill Jawe!! ”

"Good!!"

Harden himself is excited, and he is excited for Hayward, and Ginobili is Hayward's super idol.

And he always plays European steps and doesn't understand very well, now there is a world's top master, hurry up and take advantage of tomorrow to learn a wave, temporarily hold the snake's feet!!

D'Antoni squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Chao, he didn't expect this kind of active boss to come to help the Knicks, the boss should understand the world, right?

It is not easy for the spirit snake to get out of the body, Jiang Chao said directly:

"Okay! Tomorrow you come early, Mr. Manu, I will provide you with our Overlord shampoo made by Chinese medicine of the Celestial Empire, which does not contain sugar for hair loss!! ”

Manu's eyes lit up directly: "This is a good thing!" ”

"Hahahaha, just kidding!"

Jiang Chao can't be so unhelpful, people are so eager to help, he has to give something real:

"Nike has signed you for 10 years, and I haven't given you signed shoes, your sneaker endorsement contract expires next year, you can consider endorsing our Chaoshen Sports, and directly arrange signed boots for you, and I will personally design !! for you"

If the conditions are not enough, how can people teach sincerely!

After Manu hung up the video, Harden's whole blood was boiling.

The road has been paved to this point, and the day after tomorrow, he can't talk about it if he doesn't give any effort!!

"Then I'll attack with all my might the day after tomorrow!!"

"Watch you perform, bearded golfer!"
