NBA peak

Chapter 95 Procopio's Advice
Under Procopio's instruction, Ge Feng tried a few more rounds of practice.

Ge Feng's ability to adapt quickly should be related to the touch he cultivated through hard training.

Even though Ge Feng's shooting rate has inevitably declined, it has remained at around 60%.

Shooting 60% of the open shots looks good, but in the NBA, if a rookie misses one or two wide open shots, the coach should replace you, not to mention the decline in shooting percentage caused by physical decline.

Changing the shooting speed is much more troublesome than Ge Feng imagined.

After a few rounds of throwing, Ge Feng felt his arms ache.

The consumption caused by speeding up the shot is far greater than Ge Feng's normal shooting.

Procopio came over and said to Ge Feng: "Your shooting is very stable, but there is a problem."

Ge Feng was overjoyed, huh?Procopio saw his problem so quickly?

"Are you feeling sore in your arm now?" Procopio continued to ask and answer.

Ge Feng's eyes lit up: "That's right, and I also feel some pain in my wrist."

Procopio nodded and said, "Yes, there is a problem with the way you speed up your shots. You just speed up the speed of pushing the ball when you release the shot, but this will have a great impact on your shooting percentage and energy consumption."

Hearing this, Ge Feng completely convinced Procopio.

Poison, it's too poisonous. After watching Ge Feng's dozen or so goals, Procopio saw the root of the problem.

"Then what should I do?" Ge Feng asked expectantly.

"Come," Procopio said, picking up the ball.

"First of all, you have to change your shooting habits. I think you will unconsciously put the ball under your crotch after you catch the ball. This is actually a big waste of time. You have to adjust this first, like this, put it on your chest after you take the ball, and then shoot."

Tang Tian nodded, he really didn't notice this point before.

"There is also the use of your assisting hand. Although shooting depends on the powerful hand, the role of the assisting hand is very important. After increasing the speed of your shot, if your assisting hand cannot hold the ball well, it will have a great impact on your shooting rate. Your shooting rate fluctuates, which is also a key factor."

Hearing this, Ge Feng nodded frequently, now he has found a savior.

"Then how should I train?" Ge Feng was eager to know the answer.

Procopio led Ge Feng to the basket, and demonstrated with the ball while talking.

"For this technique, you can use one-handed shooting practice under the basket. While you use your powerful hand to shoot quickly, you can cooperate with the small movements of the assisting hand to quickly hold the ball and quickly leave, so that you can quickly find the feeling of quick ball."

Ge Feng nodded and asked, "If I am familiar with the feeling of fast ball, how can I make the most of it on the field?"

Ge Feng asked this question very far-reaching, but Procopio had to admit that Ge Feng asked this question very to the point.

A quick shot does not mean that you can play the game, but Procopio is still very experienced in this issue.

"Child, look at your game in the Raptors. Are you a catch-and-shoot three-point player?" Procopio had some doubts about this.

Because Ge Feng's ball-handling ability is actually very good, but in Nas's tactical board, Ge Feng's biggest role is as a catch-and-shoot three-pointer.

Ge Feng blushed a little, and said, "In fact, I personally prefer to attack with the ball, but the head coach said that I am not physically fit enough, and attacking with the ball will accelerate the consumption of physical energy, so let me run without the ball."

Procopio pondered for a while, and said: "So it's like this, boy, I can't give you an accurate answer. If you are a catch-type three-pointer, I suggest you ask a better trainer to feed you the ball full-time. If you are an offensive player with the ball, then you have to focus on how to adjust your dribble so that you can enter the shooting rhythm as quickly as possible."

"Like Stephen Curry?" Ge Feng suddenly thought of Curry, he is the best ball-handling three-pointer in the league.

"Yes, it only takes 0.3 seconds for Curry to make a shot. During his dribble, he is ready to shoot a three-pointer at any time, so there are very few people in the league who can limit him to three-pointers."

There was only so much Procopio could tell Ge Feng. After the last words were explained, Procopio returned to the Mavericks and focused on training the Mavericks players.

In the end, Ge Feng still failed to say the words of hiring Procopio.

One reason is that Procopio has not led a player alone for many years, and the other is that Procopio is old, and now he has found a comfortable pension job in the Mavericks, and Ge Feng can't bear to destroy his comfortable life in his later years.

After hugging Procopio and saying goodbye, Ge Feng immediately returned to the Raptors' training ground to start extra training.

Procopio has a very good impression of Ge Feng, Ge Feng always gives people a very comfortable feeling.

He is strong, resilient, and at the same time understands the feelings of others, which is a very rare and precious quality.

In the game between the Raptors and the Mavericks the next day, Ge Feng did not play.

In fact, it was Ge Feng and Nas who talked about their situation and gave up the chance to play.

Nurse understands this.

Instead of letting Ge Feng, who is in the transition stage, play the iron, it is better to give him enough time to change his shooting habits, so that the outside media who only know how to make troubles will not create opportunities to attack Ge Feng or the Raptors.

Before I knew it, the time came to February 2017, and it was the day when the NBA All-Star game started.

The All-Star Game is the most important performance event in the NBA every year, and it is also the game that NBA players pay the most attention to.

The players who can be selected for the NBA All-Star game are undoubtedly not the most famous and powerful players in the NBA.

A few days ago, the NBA All-Star voting results were officially released.

What followed was endless discussions on the Internet about the results of the All-Star voting.

In the eastern rankings, the 32-year-old James firmly occupies the top position of the All-Star list. The greatest legendary star in the NBA is still using his own sweat to lead Cleveland to realize the dream of defending the title.

In second place is Antetokounmpo of the Bucks. Antetokounmpo reached a four-year, $4 million contract extension with the Bucks this summer.Antetokounmpo's physical fitness is unparalleled. This season, Antetokounmpo averaged 1 minutes per game, scoring 35 points, 22.9 rebounds, and 8 assists.You know, he is only 5 years old this year!Antetokounmpo, with his absolute talent, became the second place in the All-Star ranking.

Ranked third is the 76-year-old, Embiid.Embiid is also only 22 years old. Due to a stress fracture operation on his right foot, Embiid announced his reimbursement as soon as he joined the NBA, and he missed two seasons at once.

Strictly speaking, this is Embiid's first year in the NBA.

After returning to the NBA, Embiid really let fans see his unique talent.The data of 21.6 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game are enough to make him worthy of the position of All-Star No. [-].

It is worth mentioning that Embiid and James are the rare legends in the league who have become All-Star starters when they first entered the league.
