Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 389 Like a Skyhook

Tang Sen stepped forward and called for a halt.

Tang Sen thought a lot about choosing Nowitzki's signature move.

He himself said that he hoped he could become the next Larry Bird.

Play with rhythm, slow down the pace.

Ultimately, when it comes to shooting, the only way to make it unstoppable is the fadeaway jump shot.

It was only after McGrady mastered the fadeaway jump shot that he began his unstoppable run.

Yao Ming was the same; he developed the turnaround fadeaway, making scoring virtually effortless.

But Nowitzki is different from the other two.

McGrady had extraordinary talent and was a guard, so he could imitate Jordan's style of play.

The key to Yao Ming's turnaround fadeaway jump shot lies in his height and weight.

Weighing 135 kilograms, he can take a step in front of you and then turn around; no one can stop him.

But Nowitzki has neither McGrady's athletic talent nor Yao Ming's weight and height.

He is tall, but not tall enough.

The only advantage is that it will be faster.

Since you can't jump high, just lean back and shoot from the floor.

At this stage, Tang Sen has helped him design some technical moves.

For example, a fadeaway jump shot with your back completely turned to the defender.

Another example is the backward lean with a half-turn.

Or you can simply rely on a step-back fadeaway.

These are three directions, and we're practicing them all.

Each of these techniques connects to different technical movements, using feints to make the shot harder to defend.

Bird was a master of feints.

Meanwhile, Townsend was observing to see which direction was more suitable for Nowitzki and had better development potential, until it fit his physical condition and talent to the point of being unsolvable.

"Dirk, don't try to test the referee's limits with wishful thinking. Many defenders can use scissor kicks, but you really kicked too high, and it's easy to get called for a foul."

Tang Sen has repeatedly pointed out this problem.

When performing a fadeaway jump shot, the supporting leg will definitely kick out in order to maintain body balance.

But as Nowitzki jumped off the floor, his body leaned back, and he couldn't control his core strength, causing his leg to kick even further forward.

It's easy for the referee to call an offensive foul on them.

Nowitzki, drenched in sweat from the workout, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don, it's mainly because Paul was sticking to me too tightly, and I wasn't putting enough force into it."

To put enough defensive pressure on Nowitzki, Tangsen found him a sparring partner who was both strong and tall enough.

Tang Sen then demanded more confrontation.

If it's not strong enough, the force applied will naturally be insufficient.

If you don't generate enough force when you jump, you will naturally extend your supporting leg further forward to counteract the backward force in order to maintain balance.

Tang Sen said, "I will arrange for you to continue training your core strength and leg explosiveness, which should improve things, but you need to be aware of this yourself."

It can only be said that the body is still the foundation of all technology.

Tangsen adjusted Nowitzki's training plan.

There is one month left.

At this point, the system's simulation function played a significant role.

With 24 days, nearly a month of simulation time, Tang Sen can know in advance which direction will lead to greater improvement after strengthening physical training.

This way, precious time won't be wasted.

The first week of September has passed.

Based on the simulation results, Tang Sen rejected the idea of ​​a full turnaround fadeaway jump shot.

The pre-action animation is too long.

It's not that it's bad, it's just that the price-performance ratio isn't that high.

Tang Sen abandoned one direction, adjusted the training plan, and continued with simulations.

Another week passed, and Tang Sen gradually determined his direction.

Or just throw a fadeaway jumper.

There's still a problem with the half-turn movement having too long a pre-motion sway.

Nowitzki is fast, but still not high enough for a standard-sized power forward.

Skipping the turning point and getting straight to the point is the most efficient way to achieve this.

That day, Townsend formally informed Nowitzki of which direction he had chosen.

"I also think it would have been better to just shoot directly." Nowitzki was not surprised by the result.

After practicing on his own, he also felt that direct shots were more threatening.

Tangsen held the ball and demonstrated basic applications in different scenarios to Nowitzki.

Holding the ball in the low post, facing the basket, he lowered his waist and made a fake move to drive to the basket, deceiving his sparring partner and then jumping back to shoot.

A one-legged fadeaway jump shot.

From the same position, sidestep and hit a shot, step back with your left foot, and jump to throw.

He dribbled the ball laterally, took a step out with his left foot, and then leaned back and shot facing the basket. He continued dribbling laterally, changed his pace, slowed down, moved past the defender, and leaned back to shoot again.

This is in motion.

There are also connecting low-position footwork, such as stepping up and down.

All shooting motions involve leaning back, raising the right knee, and increasing the arc.

Overall, it's a one-legged fadeaway jump shot.

Stay away from your opponent to create as much space as possible to attack.

He called out to Nowitzki to start training.

On the court, under the interference of his practice partner, Nowitzki leaned back, took a step out with his left foot, and then exerted force to lean back and shoot a jump shot.

Upon seeing this move, Tedsky suddenly said, "Don, don't you think this move looks a lot like a skyhook?"

"When jumping on one leg, the skyhook uses his auxiliary hand to disrupt the defender from getting close, while Dirk uses his auxiliary leg."

"It requires extremely strong balance, body coordination and explosiveness, and also the effort to shoot at a high point to avoid being disturbed."

Anyway, Tedsky thinks it looks a lot like it; it's practically a face-up, side-on skyhook.

Tang Sen said, "Putting aside whether they look alike or not, we can only say that the directions are the same."

The essence of shooting is to strive to create a better shooting environment.

The skyhook is one, as is the fadeaway jumper.

The different performances on the field are a combination of different physical qualities.

Tederski surveyed the entire arena and said, "There are still two weeks until the new season starts. I can't help but look forward to what the league will be like after the new season begins."

Tang Sen thought to himself, "Who can predict that?"

After three months of training, every player has improved.

"All I can say is that whoever wins the scoring title next season will definitely have the most prestigious scoring title ever."

There are a few players that Tang Sen really thinks will have a major breakthrough in their individual statistics next season.

The competition for the scoring title is bound to become incredibly fierce.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The new season officially begins in October.

The training camp will officially disband on September 30th.

On this day, Tang Sen specially gathered everyone together for a simple closing ceremony.

It's basically just taking photos together as souvenirs, and then having a buffet dinner.

Howard approached Tang Sen: "Sir, do you think I can beat Yao Ming right now?"

"he?"

Tang Sen knew that Howard seemed to have always been striving to be Yao Ming's role model.

Meeting Howard's expectant gaze, Tang Sen still shook his head: "You know, Yao doesn't believe in God, so you still have to keep working hard after you get to Phoenix."

Howard pursed his lips, giving an expression that said, "I knew it," but then added defiantly, "Sir, just you wait and see. This season, we'll be incredibly strong."

He clenched his fist, showing off his well-defined muscles.

"come on."

Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder. The pat wasn't too long or too short. He had been training with him for five months, so there was some affection between them.

Putting aside other factors, Tang Sen also hopes that this optimistic, silly boy can lead the Suns to go further.

Howard nodded and ran off to say goodbye to his sparring partner, Ethan.

When Howard stood before Ethan, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

The two spent almost five months living together, spending every day together.

From the initial bickering and antagonism, to being tormented to the point of near death by Ethan.

Even now, Howard sometimes feels that Ethan is like an older brother to him, taking good care of him.

"If you can't find a job, come to me."

Howard suddenly said this out of the blue.

He knew about Ethan's family situation and how they had been working hard to earn money to live in New York.

Ethan was stunned, not expecting Howard to say that. He raised his hand and punched Howard's thick chest, only to find it hard as a rock.

"You brat, do I look like I can't find a job?"

Ethan snorted softly, then suddenly reached out and pulled Howard into his arms, giving him a hug. He then said, "Dwight, you're a good kid. Focus and work towards your dreams."

After spending so much time together, Ethan could tell that Howard had some minor flaws, but he wasn't a bad person at heart and was hardworking enough.

So at this moment, he inexplicably had a feeling of watching his child grow up and go out on his own.

"Don't worry, I am God's warrior, Dwight Howard."

After letting go, Howard patted his chest and said proudly.

He's actually been looking forward to the new season for a long time.

The next day, Howard and his group of five boarded a plane to Phoenix.

The new season for the Suns is about to begin.

For Tang Sen, there's only one thing to do now: take a vacation that can last until next summer.
