Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 293 Add a pre-action

In the sports laboratory, O'Neal gasped, glanced at the basket, and shot the basketball.

There was a clang, and as expected, it smashed out of the frame.

"Take a rest." Not far away, Chen Yu waved to stop.

O'Neal felt like he was being pardoned. He sat down, grabbed the glass of water that was like oral liquid to him, and drank heavily.

Chen Yu ignored him, folded his arms and watched the video playback repeatedly.

Next to him, Nelson and Chip Englund were still discussing.

"You guys think, what if you stand farther away when taking free throws?" Chip Englund thought for a while.

Because of O'Neal's big hands, his free throw posture is like a trebuchet to throw the ball. The biggest problem is that the fit between the palm and the basketball is not enough. It is a virtual grip, relying only on the fingers, and the strength control is definitely not good enough.

The first adjustment everyone made was to expand the contact area of ​​​​the palms, but the two hands were too big. After completely covering the basketball, the field of vision was not good enough.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, these weird little actions before free throws are just to relax the body or mind as much as possible before the free throw.

For professional players, changing their shooting posture takes a long time to train and adapt.

After two days of trying, Chen Yu felt that simply changing his shooting posture would not only yield little benefit, but would also cost a lot.

"This is a direction." Nelson thought for a while.

The result is frequent rebounding and hitting the inside edge of the basket.

And Malone, who kept chanting before taking free throws, was said to be chanting a curse.

I just thought about adjusting my shooting posture, but I didn't think about starting from other aspects.

In sharp contrast, Nash would lick his fingers before taking free throws and then rub his palms on the soles of his shoes to keep them dry.

Kidd blows a kiss before taking a free throw.

The key to the problem is that on the court, his strength control is not good enough.

"So can you add some pre-action, just like Kidd did." Chen Yu said.

"Shaq, what do you think?" Chen Yu turned to look at O'Neal.

"Because of the frequent confrontations in the interior, your shoulder muscles have been tight, so can you shake your shoulders before taking a free throw?"

So can O'Neal add such an action?

Nelson and others crossed their arms and thought seriously.

Chip Englund twisted his eyebrows and said, "Come to think of it, I really haven't considered this method."

Chen Yu hopes to find a way that costs less and delivers quick results.

Chen Yu walked towards O'Neal, signaled him to get up, and then stood on the free throw line.

O'Neal's shooting posture was fine before, and it was also the shooting posture he was most familiar with. With this posture, he could shoot at an 80% shooting rate in daily training.

Chen Yu asked Ma Long, and he actually said one sentence repeatedly, "Baby, I need you", which was probably to give himself a psychological hint.

Therefore, everyone adjusted the way of exerting force, placing the ball higher, and then used a throwing method to exert force.

"Chen, what do you think?" Nelson looked at Chen Yu.

"In the past two days, I have been observing his shooting posture." Others used cameras to watch, but Chen Yu sometimes used his all-seeing eyes to watch the muscle movements of his arms, shoulders, and even wrists.

Chen Yu demonstrated by simply moving his wrists and shoulders.

"If you are willing, you can rotate your arms in a circle. Secondly, your free throw is too fast. The rules stipulate that the ball must be released within 10 seconds, but you may have only used less than half of it. So. You can extend the free throw time, take a few more breaths, adjust your body as much as possible, and use up the free throw time."

This is a common problem among many inside players.

For example, Jeff Hornacek will touch his face twice before taking a free throw. In his words, it is to wipe sweat and moisten his dry palms.

After discussing with Nelson and others, Chen Yu designed a process for O'Neal.

O'Neill thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then asked: "So."

It's said to be 10 seconds, but it's usually not that strict. As long as it doesn't drag on too long, the referee generally won't stick to this, let alone O'Neal is still a superstar.

This shows that the free throw force is excessive.

"Also before the referee passes the ball to you, you are already standing on the free throw line. You can shake your wrist or arm to relieve muscle tension."

Chen Yu shook his head and said: "Actually, I think we still haven't solved the core problem."

"I have some ideas, I don't know if they will work."

Anyway, there is no rule that you have to shoot close to the free throw line. You can just stand at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

"Shaq, have you noticed a problem, that is, when you take a free throw, you don't have any pre-emptive actions. Usually after you are fouled, you walk to the free throw line, the whistle blows, and you take the shot directly after taking a slight aim.

O'Neill's face was blank, and he turned to look at Nelson and the others.

Chen Yu grabbed the ball and shook his shoulders to demonstrate.

Chen Yu said: "Whether it works or not, you will know if you try it."

His statement was a tribute to Jumana.

In the league, there are many players like Kidd who make small moves before taking free throws.

The simulation starts with the whistle.

When the whistle blows, walk to the free throw line as soon as possible. Before the referee stands still, start to relax your wrists and shoulders through simple shaking.

Then after receiving the ball from the referee, the timer starts from this moment, grab the ball with one hand, do not rush to aim, stand first, take three deep breaths, it takes four to five seconds.

Then bend your knees and squat down, grab the ball and lower it. At this time, shake your shoulders again and relax your upper body for the last time.

Then lift the ball and complete the shot in one go.

In this way, try to use up all ten seconds of free throw time.

"Is this possible?" O'Neal walked to the free throw line with doubts and successfully completed the entire process according to Chen Yu's request.

Very standard, after all, he is the top athlete. With a clang, the basketball hit the frame and came out.

He spread his hands and made a face at Chen Yu, indicating that this would not work.

Chen Yu waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.

Whether it works or not requires a wide sample interval to know.

Everyone recorded, kept stopping, and made subtle adjustments to the movements. This continued until mid-afternoon before they finally got a data sample worthy of preliminary analysis.

"It's really rising."

Nielsen pointed at the data results fed back by the analysis software and said excitedly.

In the most realistic simulation environment possible, O'Neal's shooting percentage has remained around 56.7 percent in the past few days.

This is a very normal number. Last season, his free throw shooting percentage was only 55.5%.
But now, after adjustments, his shooting percentage has increased to 58.8%.

An increase of 2 percentage points!

Not much, but it is the only positive result among all the adjustment plans after starting free throw improvement training.

"I think it's ok, let's adjust it in this direction." Chip Englander was equally excited and couldn't help but take another look at Chen Yu.

Several of their professional trainers struggled for several days, and finally Chen Yu, a doctor, found a solution.

Chen Yu noticed the look in his eyes and thought that they were too professional and went too far. Instead, they thought outside the box and might be able to find a solution.

"How's it going? Is it useful?" O'Neill asked curiously not far away.

Chen Yu gave him a thumbs up and smiled.

Nelson said: "Shaq, your free throw percentage increased by two percent."

Who would have thought that O'Neal curled his lips and said: "It's only 2%."

This is equivalent to an improvement from 50 points to 52 points, still failing.

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Shaq, you are just starting now. Now that we have found the direction, with continuous training efforts, the final result will definitely be more than 2%."

After thinking about it, Chen Yu said: "We hope to increase your free throw shooting percentage to 70%. Last season, you averaged 11 free throws per game. If you can increase your shooting percentage by 1.65%, you can average free throws per game." Improved by points.”

"Last season, you averaged 27.2 points per game, and this can increase it to 29 points per game."

An improvement of 2 points per game is not as simple as taking one more shot per game and hitting a ball, which is not a lot.

"Maybe you can win the scoring title again." Chen Yu coaxed again.

At the mention of this, O'Neal perked up.

He has only won two scoring titles, how is that enough?

Most importantly, that kid Kobe never got it for the first time.

"Chen, just as you said, I will win the scoring title this year." O'Neal said fiercely, showing his white teeth.

The last time he won the scoring title was during his first championship, averaging 29.7 points per game.

In the past two years, O'Neal did not say anything, but he knew very well that his condition had declined due to injuries and injuries due to obesity.

But now, under Chen Yu's treatment, he is very healthy.

Throughout the season, under Chen Yu's care, a sick guy like Ewing was able to finish the season healthy, let alone himself.

Wouldn't it be easy for a healthier and better self to win the scoring title?

"No, I want the Grand Slam and win all the honors." O'Neal added aggressively.

The scoring champion, the regular season MVP, the finals MVP, plus the championship, I want everyone to take a look, especially a little kid like Kobe. I am the cornerstone of winning the championship. Without myself, how would you have a chance to win the championship.

Chen Yu winked at Nelson and immediately started clapping in cooperation.

O'Neal couldn't help but laugh and waved his hands modestly to indicate that it was not necessary.

Just as he was talking, Chen Yu's cell phone rang.

"Hey Jamie, what's the matter? Are you okay?" Chen Yu picked it up casually and asked with a smile.

On the phone, Jamie sighed: "Chen, Rick committed suicide."

Chen Yu's smile suddenly froze on his face.

His ears began to ring, and a strong sense of suffocation surged into his throat, like a drowning person unable to breathe.

"Chen, what's wrong with you?" Nielsen noticed something was wrong with Chen Yu and quickly grabbed Chen Yu and asked nervously.

It took a while before Chen Yu felt the presence of his body.

"I'm fine, you guys are busy, I have something to do and I have to leave first." Chen Yu grabbed his phone and hurried out.

Nelson was stunned for a moment, then signaled that that was it for today, and quickly caught up with him.

"I'll drive." Nielsen asked for the keys, got into the driver's seat, and asked where he was going.

Chen Yu reported Ankier’s hotel address.

Nelson frowned and asked, "Did something happen over there with Rick?"

Of course he knew Ankiel, and he had come to the sports laboratory before to do reference tests and recovery training plans.

Chen Yu sighed: "He committed suicide."

"what!"

Nelson slammed on the brakes and was startled.

Chen Yu waved his hand and signaled Nielsen to continue driving, feeling mixed.

After reading the contract to Grace, two days have passed today. Chen Yu still wanted to contact Grace and ask what the situation was, but he did not expect such a result.
