Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 388 The Fadeaway Jumper on the Floor
In the first month, training focused primarily on physical conditioning, with technical skills as a secondary focus.

Moreover, this technique focuses primarily on fundamental skills.

The training camp is full of star players, but even star players need to practice the basics.

For example, shooting and ball handling.

These factors are like the shortest plank in a bucket, limiting a player's potential.

If your shooting is inaccurate, some of your playing styles will be less effective.

Poor ball control prevents me from executing certain technical moves.

With the system effects active, this kind of basic skills training can actually improve very quickly.

Moreover, this training laid the foundation for the final technical sprint.

So in the last month, depending on the player's level, Townsend would ask them to focus on practicing one skill.

For example, Ray Allen.

After agreeing to modify his shooting form, he is now practicing three-pointers, all kinds of three-pointers.

To better reflect real combat scenarios, the number of sparring partners in the training camp is increasing.

On the field, Ray Allen, under the marking of his sparring partner, quickly rushed to the 45-degree angle.

Near the bottom corner, Nash quickly passed the ball over.

The ball was delivered at just the right moment, without disrupting Ray Allen's rhythm.

With a sudden stop by pushing off with his left foot, Ray Allen adjusted his body to face the basket as he received the ball, barely bending his knees, and instantly shot.

He is now holding the ball with his wrist to the side, without considering the requirement of raising his elbow, so he can naturally lift the ball and shoot after receiving it.

He relied on rigorous training to strengthen his lower limbs, which allowed him to strike very quickly.

The sparring partner who was marking the defender didn't have time to jump and block the shot.

The basketball is shot.

This shot was a full meter from the three-point line, so you can imagine how difficult it was.

With a clang, the basketball hit the frame and came out.

As he released the shot, Howard had already started his run inside the paint, despite interference from two practice partners.

He followed the same path as Harvey back then, with his fingers taped together, and faced two standard centers over 7 feet tall.

Howard's first task is to predict where the basketball will land.

He teleported instantly, confronted the sparring partner, held off the opponent, and then, amidst a pincer movement, leaped and poked the falling basketball.

The basketball was poked and bounced in the air for a moment.

At that moment, Howard, who had just landed, jumped even faster than his two practice partners and grabbed the basketball into his arms.

Howard had already mastered the basics of rebounding.

Now he needs to practice advanced techniques, which involve trying to grab rebounds in different and more complex real-game environments.

After grabbing the rebound, Howard immediately passed the ball to Nash on the perimeter.

Nash received the ball and pulled up for a three-pointer.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford sparring partners; Ray Allen and Nash had proactively offered to accompany, or rather, supervise, Howard's training.

Tang Sen figured they should stick to their plan of three-person teams and try to integrate their training as much as possible.

Later, we found that this method was quite effective and could also increase teamwork among teammates.

Then let's just promote it.

After all, each team sent two players.

With one inside and one outside, they can naturally coordinate some tactical plays.

For example, on the Spurs' side, Duncan stepped up to set a screen for Parker, who then passed the ball back to Duncan for a three-pointer.

With the help of a sparring partner, this kind of training will definitely improve the chemistry between the two.

The only problem is the players who were traded away.

For example, Ray Allen was traded away, leaving the SuperSonics with only Lewis.

For example, with the Mavericks, Nash was traded away, leaving only Nowitzki.

The team also contacted Tang Sen, trying to find a substitute.

Tang Sen decisively rejected him.

Each team has only two spots, it's fixed.

As for the players being traded away, that's just because you didn't keep them.

This has indirectly led to a lack of big-name player trades this season.

"gentlemen."

Tang Sen stood on the sidelines, watching Nowitzki train, when a voice came from behind him.

I turned my head and saw it was James.

Throughout the entire training camp, only he and Brown still obediently and politely refer to themselves as "sir."

Tang Sen asked him what was wrong.

The knights were also unlucky.

Boozer played a double game with the Cavaliers, agreeing to re-sign with them one minute and then joining the Jazz the next.

Boozer is currently playing hotly against Kirilenko and Gordon Giricek of the Jazz.

They left that little brat James behind.

James appeared slightly reserved in front of Tang Sen and said, "Sir, could I change my three-point shooting form?"

At the training camp, several point guards changed their shooting form at Tang Sen's request.

James noticed their rapid progress. He was also practicing three-pointers, but Townsend insisted that he use the standard shooting form.

The training was effective, but far less so than the players who changed their posture.

At least that's how James sees it.

Moreover, he had thought about it himself and felt that changing his shooting posture would allow him to shoot further and be more powerful on the court.

For example, if you are one meter outside the three-point line and your opponent is not guarding you, then you should shoot.

If the opponent gets close, you can get past them in one step.

The longer the distance, the more space there is for you to surge forward.

Once you get going, no one can stop you.

He knew that Tang Sen was a man of his word, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to discuss it with Tang Sen.

After listening to James's idea, Tang Sen understood.

"LeBron, some players change their shooting form for a simple reason: because their physical attributes and talent are not good enough."

To this day, Tang Sen still believes that the dip shot is a downward compromise shooting posture.

"But you are different. You have amazing talent and a lot of strength, which are your advantages. So practicing standard shooting will help you more."

James possesses superhuman strength and enough power to make shots from far beyond the three-point line using a standard shooting technique.

If that's the case, then why bother practicing drop shots?

Once you practice your drop shot, what do you do inside the three-point line?

During this offseason, Townsend has three points regarding the development of LeBron James.

First, exercise to make your body stronger.

He has such great physical talent; it would be a waste not to train.

And his body will become his sharpest weapon.

Secondly, he should aim for three-pointers to extend his shooting range.

In his rookie season, he had the ability to shoot three-pointers, but his accuracy was terrible, less than 30%.

Practicing three-pointers will increase his offensive options in the high post.

If his three-point shooting is accurate enough, he can achieve a two-way decision: if they don't defend, he'll shoot; if they do defend, he'll drive.

His breakthroughs, starting from the three-point line, maximize his physical advantages.

Finally, there's the low-post back-to-the-basket move.

Tang Sen studied his game footage from last season.

He doesn't have many scoring methods in the mid-range, just one pull-up jump shot.

This is far from enough.

Tang Sen hopes that when he fails to break through and falls into the low post, he will have enough means to score.

Back-to-the-basket moves are the best option.

Unfortunately, his coordination is not very good, and his steps always seem sluggish.

It's difficult to replicate the kind of feints that McGrady and Jordan used, where a single fake could send opponents flying.

Therefore, Tang Sen made changes to his back-to-the-basket style.

Abandon illusions and play according to the technical characteristics.

That is, after sitting with his back to the basket, he uses his strong body to turn around and drive towards the basket.

Push your opponent aside with physical contact, then attack the basket directly.

If a player comes to help defend, then pass the ball.

He is still a point guard after all, with enough vision and ability to distribute the ball.

This change, at the very least, can enrich his offensive options after his breakthrough is thwarted.

Amazing talent?

James's eyes lit up. This seemed to be the first time that Tang Sen had said he had amazing talent to his face.

For a moment, James couldn't help but smile, then nodded vigorously and said, "Sir, I understand. I will train hard."

Tang Sen said that shooting form is a sign of insufficient talent and is the choice of the weak.

With such great talent, there's no need for me to change anything.

James left happily.

Tang Sen didn't pay much attention to him.

This kid is still too green, and the Cavaliers' roster is terrible. Let him develop for another two years before making any moves.

Tangsen's attention was still on Nowitzki.

Near the basket, Nowitzki received the ball and started his run, leaning against his practice partner as he turned before jumping and shooting.

"Legs, Dirk, your legs, stop thinking about kicking Paul in the groin, he's not even married yet."

Tang Sen's eyebrows twitched, and he spoke up again to remind him.

Townsend hopes that Nowitzki will develop a signature move.

Considering his tall stature, he ultimately opted for a fadeaway jump shot.

However, since his physical abilities weren't top-notch, he followed the same path as Yao Ming.

In Tang Sen's view, it was just a fadeaway jump shot from the floor.

But he has a problem: he can't help but stretch his legs.
