NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 197 Is it correct to dribble with your head down?
Lu Yuanzhi, who knew more information, had already seen the nature of the alliance clearly.

What is an alliance?
The NBA is a business league, and the first thing it has to consider is business.

With such a gimmick as the No. [-] pick, how can we maximize the business without operating behind the scenes?

Why did James make "Decision 2.8" and decide to leave Cleveland? The Cavaliers immediately won the No. [-] pick this year with a [-]% probability and selected Irving, which became the cornerstone of the new team.

This is the compensation the league gave the Cavaliers.

At the same time, it also expressed the attitude of the league. They don't like stars to stick together at their peak, so the Heat did not receive preferential treatment from the whistle in the following season.

In 2014, James decided to make "decision two" and decided to return to Cleveland to play. The Cavaliers immediately won the No. 1.7 pick with a lower probability of [-]%, signed Wiggins, and then sent it to the Timberwolves in exchange for Love to form a new team. The new “Big Three” of James Irving and Love.

Therefore, the lottery of draft picks is said to be a lottery, rather it is the result of everyone's discussion.

Just like many people say that WWE is fake, it's a joke. People tell you clearly that it's called "World Wrestling Entertainment" and its main focus is wrestling performances in the style of stage dramas. How do you expect them to punch hard?
If you want to see real punches, you might as well play a WWE game.

That's where the fake people really fight.

But WWE is really fake!

After getting Lu Yuanzhi's answer that was different from ordinary people, Yao Yao left the training hall as if he was running away.

what?
Is this guy still training this afternoon?
Is this guy going to practice at night?

who am I?
where am I?
Will I die if I stay here any longer?
Brother Lu is too scary!
But what Dayao didn't know was that Lu Yuanzhi's afternoon training was ball control training.

As soon as the training started, Micah pulled Lu Yuanzhi aside.

"Max, if you just want to dribble for fast breaks, your current dribbling skills are enough."

enough?

Lu Yuanzhi's goal is of course not just dribbling and fast break, but he was also very curious to hear Micah say this.

My own dribbling is only 4 points (not 1, I mentioned it before when I was training alone, it has increased to 4 points). With this dribbling skill, can I dribble for a fast break?

I don’t want to be “Sacramento Irving”!

With that said, Micah found the trainer and gave Lu Yuanzhi a demonstration first.

"You start running from the backcourt and catch the pass somewhere short of the center line."

"At this time, you keep running, don't stop, and hit the ball forward as hard as you can."

Micah didn't really run. He didn't have Lu Yuanzhi's stride and couldn't truly simulate Lu Yuanzhi's fast break. So based on Lu Yuanzhi's stride, he jogged a few steps with the ball in one hand and came to three meters away from the three-point line. many areas.

"Depending on your stride length, during one dribble you can probably take 2-3 steps and you'll get to this distance."

"That's when the ball comes back to your right hand."

"At this point you keep sprinting and then you get the ball together near the three-point line."

"Yes, this is another sneak step."

"Because there is no ball, as long as your hands are not under the basketball, it doesn't count as a walk."

"After you combine the ball, the referee starts counting steps. So, you see, you have arrived just over 7 meters away from the basket."

"At this time, if you take two steps, you can enter the penalty area."

"Yes, you take one step inside the free throw line and I don't need to say anything else about it."

"You can choose a layup or even a dunk!"

"Shall we give it a try?"

Lu Yuanzhi stood behind Micah and was dumbfounded watching Micah's demonstration.

what's the situation?
When you catch the ball in the middle, you only need to dribble the ball once and you can immediately take off and dunk?

Magical NBA rules!

This trick of dribbling the ball from the center line and dunking directly has been used by Antetokounmpo in NBA games.

Antetokounmpo is 208 centimeters tall and Lu Yuanzhi is 206 centimeters tall. There is not much difference between the two.Antetokounmpo is not as fast as Lu Yuanzhi, and his pace is far behind Lu Yuanzhi.

Therefore, if Antetokounmpo can do it, Lu Yuanzhi can definitely do it.

After Lu Yuanzhi tried it a few times, he quickly mastered the rhythm of this method. He received the ball at the midline, dribbled the ball once, and then took off and dunked directly inside the free throw line.

It's that simple.

No, there is such a simple method, why didn’t you tell me earlier, Micah?

That way, I can use it in the playoffs.

But looking back, it was impossible.

First, the defensive intensity in the playoffs will never give Lu Yuanzhi such a comfortable dribbling and dunking rhythm.

The second thing is the most important. No one will pass the ball to Lu Yuanzhi at this position.

Even if they knew Lu Yuanzhi could break into the paint and dunk with one dribble, the Kings would not choose to feed Lu Yuanzhi the ball at this position.

This involves a problem of positioning within the team.

Lu Yuanzhi's current position in the team is still biased towards a role player.

After Stojakovic was injured, the Kings' positioning was quickly adjusted.

Weber is still the core player, and the final key ball will pass through Weber's hands.

The team's second core has become Michael Bibby, who is getting better and better as he plays.

Although Lu Yuanzhi has taken the starting position, his position within the team is still an "excellent role player."

When it comes to role players, all NBA teams use the same method - only use your strongest skills, and don't let you use other skills at all.

Therefore, regardless of whether Lu Yuanzhi can dribble and dunk directly with this move, in the Kings' quick counterattack system, there will be no option to pass the ball to Lu Yuanzhi in the midfield.

Only when Lu Yuanzhi enters the three-point line or runs to the bottom corner, Bibby, Turkoglu or Bobby Jackson holding the ball will choose to pass the ball to Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi is pretty good. After showing his defensive ability and impact at the basket, he can also win the trust of the coaching staff from beyond the three-point line.

If it were an old stubborn like Larry Brown, it would be impossible to give Lu Yuanzhi the power to fire from beyond the three-point line.

What is a three-pointer?
heresy!

Anyone who shoots three-pointers should be burned to death!
This is how most coaches viewed the three-point shot during this period.

"The training just now just tells you that if you can keep the ball suspended, you can run a few steps, dozens of steps, hundreds of steps, thousands of steps, tens of thousands of steps."

"As long as you can keep the ball suspended."

"Of course, it's difficult to do, but there are ways to increase the ball's suspension time."

"But let's start from the basics!"

Micah, who gave Lu Yuanzhi some sweet dates at the beginning, took out his strange training tools - boxing gloves and sandbags!

Before Lu Yuanzhi could figure out the use of these two things, Micah started his explanation.

"Max, since you started practicing dribbling, I will give you the most formal training."

"At the beginning of the dribbling training, let me first correct a misunderstanding you may have, which is what many coaches say: when dribbling, you have to raise your head, look up, and look up towards the basket!"

"This is an incorrect description!"

Ok?
Is this still a misunderstanding?
Doesn't it mean that you can better observe the running of your teammates by raising your head and dribbling?

Is it correct to dribble with your head down?

　Come, let’s start talking about misunderstandings when dribbling.

　　In fact, when I was playing golf myself, I was misled by this statement for a long time.

　　Including Weiping Bryant's teaching on the sports channel, in fact, looking back now, I made a lot of mistakes. I can only say that basketball technology is developing at a rapid pace, and if you still stick to the same old methods, you will really suffer a big loss.
