Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 469 The Law Has No Fixed Form
The practical training at the training camp was still scheduled for the evenings.

Today, Durant will be matched up against James.

Everyone else stopped practicing and gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Actually, everyone knows what Durant is doing. Tang Sen is helping Durant level up and gain experience.

As the next Jordan handpicked by Tang Sen, it's normal for him to receive this kind of treatment.

The players in the training camp, on the other hand, were driven more by a competitive spirit.

This group of players never faced Jordan on the court.

Even if they were matched up, it would be against an aging Jordan.

But for any basketball player, Jordan is an insurmountable mountain, an idol for everyone.

So when everyone faces Durant, they will naturally have the thought, "You think you deserve to be Jordan?"

But in just two months, everyone witnessed just how strong Durant was.

Watching him defeat one opponent after another step by step, and he's not just an ordinary player, he's a star player, the core of each team.

You can also clearly feel his improved strength.

As time went on, everyone wondered just how far Durant could go.

James is clearly the final opponent prepared for Durant.

This chosen one is indeed incredibly talented, and with Tang Sen's help, he is clearly one of the league's top small forwards.

If you can beat him, then Durant will be qualified to become Jordan.

Alignment begins.

James was very focused and stayed close to Durant, with his hand on Durant's body, sensing his movements.

During those two months, James was also observing Durant and thinking about how to defend him.

Durant is tall, has long arms, and poses a significant shooting threat, so he must be closely guarded.

James also noticed that Durant's pace was unpredictable when he drove to the basket, and his changes of direction were incredibly wide, so he still had to stay close and not give Durant any space to get going.

The strategy was fine, but James couldn't defend the very first ball.

With James close behind, Durant turned to back off, leaning against James and arrogantly gripping the ball with one hand.

The ball is broken by hitting it.

Let's just run it once.

Despite his thin frame, he possessed tremendous strength.

He has now gained weight to 106 kilograms, and his explosive power is now considerable.

So even though James is heavier, he still managed to create space for the opponent, then he simply turned around and hit a fadeaway jump shot.

Standing at 2.08 meters tall with a 2.24-meter wingspan and a vertical jump that reaches the rim, his size makes him incredibly difficult to defend against, especially when he leans back.

Moreover, a countermeasure was provided beforehand.

James has an amazing jumping ability, but he was still a step too slow and couldn't stop Durant.

Most importantly, when Durant did the turnaround fadeaway, he used his powerful core strength to create a feeling of hovering and drifting backward.

That's how Jordan is; he jumps, and everyone else jumps too.

Others have landed, but Jordan is still floating in the air.

All of this is inseparable from his outstanding physical fitness.

Amidst the gasps of the surrounding players, the basketball swished smoothly through the net.

James remained expressionless.

Kobe's gaze sharpened among the crowd on the sidelines.

He can do that turnaround fadeaway, but the effect he achieves with his height and wingspan is far inferior to Durant's.

Replacement.

Durant didn't choose to stay close to James' defense, but instead gave him a step back.

James initiated a drive, tried to establish a rhythm, and pulled back for a jump shot.

With his excellent reaction and body control, Durant was not completely fooled by the fake, and with a leap, his outstretched arms blocked out the sky.

The basketball bounced off the net.

Durant took the initiative early, and his confidence soared.

Or rather, in the past two months, he has continuously defeated one opponent after another, and he has completely demystified these NBA stars.

He also understood what kind of dragon-slaying skills Tang Sen had taught him over the course of a year.

Durant attempted a drive to the basket.

Dribble quickly with your right hand to the center line, shift your weight to the left and feint, then cut to the right.

The change of direction was extremely wide, and the timing of the choice was also very precise.

He dribbled once more, then forcefully passed James, drove in, and slammed it in for a dunk. Tang Sen watched quietly from the sidelines with his arms crossed.

There was no applause.

But there was a sense of relief in his eyes.

Tang Sen put a lot of effort into making breakthroughs in this area.

Because many playing styles rely on breakthroughs.

If a scorer can't penetrate, their offensive threat will be greatly reduced.

Jordan's superb offense was also built on his unstoppable drives to the basket.

Tang Sen knew very well that Jordan's most impressive skill was his ability to lower his center of gravity during a drive.

When others break through, their backs are straight.

A close examination of the video reveals that when Jordan drove to the basket, his head was at shoulder height, the same height as the defender's.

This is a key detail of Jordan's breakthrough, and not just because of things like having the fastest first step in the league.

Many players know that Jordan had these kinds of details, but they can't replicate them.

When starting at high speed, you need to lower your waist, change direction, and generate enough explosive power, which places incredibly high demands on your knees and core strength.

Jordan has a freakish level of physique that no other player has.

This is also the key to Wade's sharp breakthroughs.

With his exceptional speed, explosiveness, and core strength, Wade can also achieve a low-altitude flight effect when breaking through defenses.

But Durant is not an option.

He's too tall and has long legs. The defenders he's facing are already much shorter than him, so asking him to bend his body to break through is asking too much of him.

Forcing yourself to train will definitely not be as effective as training with Jordan.

Therefore, it varies from person to person.

When it comes to breaking through, those with fast acceleration can do it, those with good ball control and realistic feints can also do it, and those with strong body control, good coordination, and a strong sense of rhythm can all break through.

Even a triple threat can be overcome.

There are no fixed rules or fixed forms.

Therefore, Tang Sen's plan for Durant was to rely on rhythm and fake moves to break through.

Combined with a strong body, this is the first step, no slowness required.

The effect is right before our eyes: seamless transition between driving and shooting, the ball sticking to the body, and the whole body full of feints.

But his physical abilities are also explosive; one of his steps is equivalent to one and a half of others'.

One ball after another, Durant's arsenal seemed inexhaustible, as he repeatedly used various techniques to complete attacks under James' defense.

Of course, there are times when the defense is blocked, and when it's James' turn to start, he can still score.

But upon comparison, it's clear that the two are no longer players of the same caliber.

This discovery left James somewhat disheartened.

He couldn't help but think, if he received such dedicated training from Tang Sen, wouldn't he be able to reach Durant's level?

If Tang Sen knew that James was thinking this way, he would also say that James had come to the million-dollar training camp four times, and had been receiving training on his own for about a year, just like Durant.

It can only be said that James still lacks certain talents.

He has the potential to be a top player, but just a little bit of talent is needed to take that next step.

However, this sense of frustration and resentment was greatly alleviated as Durant faced off against Kobe.

James was surprised to find that Durant seemed to have an easier time playing against Kobe.

I'm over two meters tall and much stronger.

Kobe and Durant are 10 centimeters apart in height, not to mention their wingspans.

When facing Kobe, Durant increased his direct pull-up plays, which were very effective.

He repeatedly scored against Kobe, and Kobe didn't have a good way to deal with it.

Even on the defensive end, Durant did a good job limiting Kobe.

After all, their arms are so long.

Midway through the game, he even blocked Kobe's shot with his lightning-fast reflexes.

This result sent chills down the spines of the players present.

They already find it terrifying that they can dominate James.

Now, it's actually easier for Durant to guard Kobe. So, once he enters the league, who can completely stop Durant?

The key point is that this kid is only 18 and has never officially played a single NBA game.
