Pick Westbrook

Chapter 64 Two Mental Disabilities

After the game is over.

Westbrook chose to practice on the court alone.

Bradley Arena is completely different from the cheerful scene where the fans were deafening more than ten minutes ago.

The scene was quiet, and several Bucks staff members were cleaning up the trash in the aisle.

pop, pop, pop
The sound of basketball slapping on the court is extremely eye-catching.

Westbrook is shooting threes over and over again.

In this game, he only scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

Because Yao Ming sits on the inside, he hardly has many chances to get inside, so his scoring naturally dropped a lot compared to other games.

"If I can also shoot three-pointers like Dragic and Villanueva, how could I be like this!"

Bradley Arena.

Reggie Miller had a swearing argument with Jordan after the game.

Because that old hooligan Jordan showed off the championship ring in front of him again, it's a beast.

Reggie Miller knows this is just the beginning.

Without a championship ring, even if he becomes a Hall of Fame player in the future, he will still be the object of ridicule.

Didn't that Jordan guy just keep teasing him.

Reggie Miller, who was aggrieved, was about to leave when he suddenly heard the familiar sound of basketball slapping on the court.

"It's this time, who else is playing?"

Driven by curiosity, Reggie Miller returned to the court to take a look.

After discovering that it was the rookie who liked to shoot zombies, he looked seriously.

There has been a lot of news about Westbrook this season.

First of all, the Bucks got him with that bankrupt deal. Everyone wondered whether he was worth the bargaining chip, or how much the Bucks would suffer in the end.

But then came Westbrook's stellar performances in summer league and the regular season.

In particular, Reggie Miller still vividly remembers the scene of riding and dunking Billups.

Looking at Westbrook who has been practicing three-point shooting on the court, Reggie Miller shook his head speechlessly.

"Just this zombie shooting, no matter how hard you practice, you can't be accurate!"

Reggie Miller, who really can't stand it anymore, is going to go up and give a good mention to this junior, so that he can change this huge problem at the beginning of his career.

But just as he took a step forward, he saw a familiar figure walking in with his back foot.

Li came to the court, picked up the ball that Westbrook missed and passed it to the opponent, signaling Westbrook to continue shooting.

And Westbrook seemed to be accustomed to this scene, no longer picking up the ball he shot, but concentrating on practicing shooting from outside the three-point line.

Reggie Miller looked amazed, "The head coach of the team picked up the ball for a rookie. This is the first time I have seen it."

After practicing for a while.

Westbrook finally couldn't help but ask: "Coach, when will I be able to shoot threes on the court?"

At the beginning of the summer league, Li Lai told Westbrook not to shoot three-pointers!

This requirement has also continued from Summer League to the present.

Throughout the regular season, a total of 29 games were played, and Westbrook only shot 8 three-pointers without defense, and hit 2 of them.

This hit rate is already considered very good.

Because Westbrook's shooting is not reliable at all. If he hadn't chosen to shoot three-pointers without defense, his shooting percentage might have dropped by [-]%.

"Be patient, you should know how unreliable your three-pointers are." Li Lai said seriously.

Westbrook threw the basketball away impatiently and said: "But now the rest of the league seems to find that I can't shoot the three-pointer, so the defense against me has become more and more deep.

This will make my breakthrough more difficult. "

Hearing that the other party could say such a thing, Li Lai said with satisfaction: "So do you think three-pointers are important now?"

Westbrook froze.

He has never thought about this problem before. He just thinks that as long as he can make breakthroughs, defend well, and pass the ball well, then he will definitely become a very great player in the future.

But from the regular season to the present, three-pointers are really important.

Even with the help of Yi Jianlian's three-pointer, his ordinary breakthrough ability can produce such a huge lethality on the court.

Westbrook couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be on the court if his three-pointers were practiced.

After a long time, Westbrook said seriously: "Coach, I think three-pointers are very important, and I plan to practice three-pointers after every home game.

Sooner or later, I will practice the three-pointer. "

Li Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

This is what he wants to see!
In his previous life, Westbrook relied too much on his breakthrough and counterattack ability, so especially at the critical moment of life and death, his performance and choices were often criticized.

It also makes Westbrook easy to defend because everyone knows he's going to drive.

Of course Li Lai wants to change Westbrook's biggest weakness, but in his opinion, his mandatory requirements may not be as direct as the players' own desire to change from the bottom of their hearts.

"Players these days haven't discovered the importance of the three-point shot, so it's hard to have the determination to change like a sinking boat.

And I was trying to find a way to make Westbrook have such determination. "

Now, Li Lai is very satisfied with Westbrook's determination.

He gave a thumbs up and said: "This is the player I like, it needs such perseverance and self-confidence!
You know, people who don't believe in themselves are not even worth the effort. "

Westbrook also said full of chicken blood: "Don't worry, coach, I will not lose to anyone except in terms of hard work."

Li Lai nodded, and continued to encourage: "I will always look forward to it. I believe that the Bucks' Iron Turtle will disappear soon, and a new era of red beasts is coming!"

After hearing the conversation, Reggie Miller, who was hiding and peeping at the two, muttered silently in his heart that he was so mentally retarded.

Is this special meow something that normal people can say?

However, Reggie Miller was indeed moved by what the two did. Looking at Westbrook who was still training hard in the wrong way on the court, he finally couldn't help but walk out.

"I said you two, if you want to practice three-pointers, you can be more reliable, just a few blind shots like this will only get twice the result with half the effort.

No, ten times the effort is only one. "

Li Lai looked at Reggie Miller in surprise.

He knew that the opponent watched the team's Christmas game tonight, but he didn't know that Reggie Miller hadn't left until now.

Although Li Lai was confident that Reggie Miller would still choose to join the Bucks in the end, as time passed, a lot of time had passed, and Li Lai began to hesitate about Reggie Miller's choice.

Reggie Miller walked directly in front of Westbrook, ignoring Li Lai's gaze, and began to guide him earnestly.

"The small arm is turned outward, which is a great taboo for shooting. When you exert force, you have to keep your arm facing the basket."

"Also, when exerting force, the hand should follow the ball instead of throwing it."

"Your shooting range is too flat. Properly increase some shooting angles, which can increase the effective hitting area."

"Keep the shot flowing and remember the feel of the shot."

"Tell you, shooting is not based on aiming, but on feeling."

Westbrook, who was stunned in place, heard Reggie Miller's speech, and said his head was big.

He really wanted to say, the vocabulary you said is too advanced, if I understood these three-pointers, wouldn't I have brought them up a long time ago?
In the end, Reggie Miller directly changed Westbrook's shooting.

After readjusting his posture, Westbrook hit all 10 consecutive shots, and even had two non-stick shots.

This made Westbrook very suspicious of the professionalism of the guy in front of him.

But Reggie Miller applauded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, very good, keep the shooting action just now.

As for the hit rate, you don't need to worry at all, it will naturally increase as you practice more. "

　Brothers, the investment is about to reach 100, everyone and the number of investments can help out.

　　Thank you.
