Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 3 School Team Selection
Breakthrough is a technique that uses technical moves to get rid of the defense, so as to get yourself closer to the basket and create better shooting space for yourself.

NBA star Allen Iverson is a master of breakthroughs. He is only 183 centimeters tall. It is said that his actual height may be a little shorter, maybe only 180 centimeters. However, he has the speed that tops the NBA, coupled with his superb skills, which makes his breakthrough Extremely sharp, almost unstoppable in one-on-one situations.

In the nba, Allen Iverson has the reputation of "the king of speed". His wind-like speed and breakthroughs so fast that people can't react make him a superstar.

Now Qin Hao's situation is somewhat similar to Iverson's. He is not tall and fast, so if the coach wants to impress him and select him to enter the school team, he has to work hard on breakthroughs.

Under the dim light, Qin Hao was training. He grabbed the basketball, quickly started from beyond the three-point line, and suddenly dribbled behind his back to make a breakthrough.

Whoosh.

The basketball was released and flew out.

Qin Hao frowned. He hadn't adapted to the current physical state. His consciousness gave orders to his body to make a certain technical movement, but his body couldn't keep up with his consciousness, so he lost the ball.

This is not surprising, after all, returning to the age of 15 all of a sudden, the soul of an adult and the body of a teenager need a process to integrate the two and achieve coordination.

"Come again."

Qin Hao continued to try.

This time he did not use difficult breakthrough moves, but started with simple moves as much as possible. He started from outside the three-point line with the ball, changed direction in front of his body, shot the basketball with his right hand, and the orange basketball bounced off the ground. , came to the left hand, took advantage of the trend to accelerate, broke through from the left, and made a layup.

boom!
Failed to make progress.

"continue."

Qin Hao picked up the basketball, returned to the three-point line, and tried again. The same action was repeated again and again, with failures and successes. During this process, his consciousness began to integrate with his body, and he was familiar with the current strength, Speed, explosiveness, jumping, etc.
After dozens or hundreds of attempts, Qin Hao has been able to easily complete the layup, but he is not satisfied: "There is still a problem with the rhythm, and the speed has not been fully utilized."

This is a boring process, but Qin Hao is not impatient at all. After experiencing an accident, he suffered a comminuted fracture of his right leg and could no longer play or run on the court.Now that he is able to embrace basketball again and run wildly on the court, no matter how tired he is, Qin Hao is still happy.

Only when you have lost it will you know how to cherish it!
"Whoa, whoa"

Half an hour later, Qin Hao stopped, gasping for breath. The continuous breakthrough training took a lot of physical energy, and his clothes were already soaked in sweat. Beads of sweat dripped down his chin, forming a puddle of water.

Training is not over yet.

After panting for a while, Qin Hao picked up the basketball and began to dribble on the spot.

One hand controls the basketball around the leg, dribbles in a very low position, lets the basketball pass through the crotch, switches to the other hand to dribble, circles around the leg and then changes hands again, both hands are constantly rotating , and repeat.

This is to exercise dribbling ability. Breakthrough requires not only speed, but also excellent ball handling ability. Without the ability to control movement, breakthrough is nothing but fantasy.

Dribbling in a low position on the spot puts a lot of load on the arm, but does not consume much physical energy. After 10 minutes of this, Qin Hao's physical energy has recovered a little. He shook his sore wrist and started breakthrough training again. Simple movements, continuous The ultimate goal of practice is to form muscle memory.

After another half an hour, Qin Hao ended today's practice.

"The one-hour practice was all about breaking through and controlling the ball. I didn't expect that the physical energy consumption would be greater than usual." Qin Hao said to himself with a smile while supporting his knees.

He usually comes here to train every day, but the training is not targeted, it can even be said to be very unprofessional, and the results can be imagined.

Now he will naturally no longer practice blindly like before, but conduct training in a planned and targeted manner, including how long to practice, to what extent, whether there are any areas that are not in place, and are there any areas that need to be improved? , He knew it clearly in his heart.

"Training here today."

Qin Hao put away the basketball and rode home.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother Liu Huifang sitting on the sofa watching TV. As usual, she was waiting for Qin Hao to come back. There was still food on the table, which was a supper for Qin Hao.

Seeing this familiar scene, Qin Hao suddenly felt his nose sore.

"Xiaohao." Liu Huifang stood up, helped Qin Hao take off her schoolbag, and complained, "Are you going to practice again? You are so late after self-study and get out of class, why are you going to practice, don't delay your study."

"Mom, don't worry, you won't delay your studies, I promise." Qin Hao grinned, "Where is my dad, is he on night shift again?"

"Well, you go take a shower first, I'll warm up the food for you, and go to bed early after eating." Liu Huifang said, carrying the food to the kitchen.

Qin Hao's family is not rich. Both his mother and father are working-class, and his father often has to work night shifts. Not to mention the hard work, the salary is not high.

Therefore, his parents attach great importance to his studies, and hope that he can be promising, get into a good university in the future, find a decent and easy job, and don't have to work as hard as them.

Qin Hao took a shower, finished his supper, and when he returned to his room, he hugged another basketball.

This basketball is unused and very clean. Qin Hao bought two specially, one for training, and the other for sleeping with him at night, which can cultivate the sense of the ball.

"I am only 15 years old now, and there are still several years before the Basketball World Cup. I have enough time to prepare. This time I will never be absent again. We must win the right to qualify for the group." Qin Hao hugged the basketball, his mind was churning, It took a while to calm down, "But the top priority now is the selection of the school team next week. In addition, I have to think about how to improve the conditions at home."

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, apart from going to school, Qin Hao is training. He wakes up at six in the morning for training, and then goes to school after finishing. In the evening, he trains for an hour after his evening self-study.

After a few days, Qin Hao has gained a lot, his breakthrough has become more and more sharp, his layup after the breakthrough has become more and more sure, and his control skills have improved a lot.

With a few days of training, Qin Hao has gradually adapted to his current physical condition, and his various technical movements are no longer so rigid.

Although the only thing that can be achieved now is a breakthrough, but with his basketball IQ, experience and awareness, he is already qualified for the position of point guard.

At the same time, the day of the school team selection has arrived.
