Chapter 125 Intra-Team Competition

At the start of the intra-team match, the jump ball was omitted as usual, and the basketball was directly handed over to Parker by the staff who acted as the referee.

Parker took the ball across the half court steadily, found Yang Ke immediately, and at the same time made gestures to let his teammates open up space for him.

Patting the basketball while maintaining the rhythm, Parker used his right foot as the pivot foot, separated his feet for half a step, bent his knees slightly, lowered his body's center of gravity, and looked at Yang Ke calmly with his eyes.

"I am coming!"

boom!
Accompanied by a soft voice, Parker slammed the ball forward, and at the same time quickly kicked the ground with his left foot, turned his body slightly to the right, pressed his left shoulder down, and controlled the center of gravity of his body to move forward to the right.

In the blink of an eye, Parker took his first step to break through, changed hands with the crotch, and the basketball came to his right side.Then he dribbled the ball, and then Parker kicked his right foot on the ground, making a posture that he was about to take a second step.

Yang Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and while his mind was still thinking, his body had already reacted subconsciously. He opened his arms and took a big step across, blocking Parker's way to break through to the front right again.

This defensive response ability is really excellent!
Parker saw Yang Ke's reaction and slightly praised the counterpoint in his heart. At the same time, he quietly shifted his center of gravity to his left foot.

In the next second, Parker pushed on the inside of the forefoot of his right foot and changed direction instantly.The entire offensive movement has also changed accordingly, using the left foot as the axis, making a sudden forward turn and stepping towards the basketball.

While Yang Ke's center of gravity had not stabilized, Parker sped up, easily passed Yang Ke, slipped into the paint, hit a signature small throw, and scored two points for the main team.

The combination of cross step and forward turning breakthrough is so skillful that it really lives up to its reputation as a small French sports car. How to prevent it is the most effective? !

Looking at Parker's fast retreating figure, Yang Ke frowned. Parker's offensive skills are false and difficult to distinguish. In this case, blindly passive defense is useless.

However, if he takes the initiative and chooses to block his seat in advance, it is easy to leave room for Parker to shoot. However, in recent years, Parker's peripheral shooting level has gradually improved. hand.

For a while on the defensive end, Yang Ke felt very difficult. Fortunately, due to the influence of old injuries, Parker's defense was not very good this season, so Yang Ke didn't have to worry too much on the offensive end.

After receiving the ball from Blair's hand, Yang Ke quickly pushed across the midfield, settled outside the three-point line, and stared at Parker, who was bent in front of him and spread out a tight mark.

From the corner of the eye, Yang Ke glanced at the positions of his teammates around him, and Yang Ke immediately began to break through. Several consecutive speed-ups and changes of directions connected to the back dribble, the basketball changed from the left side to his right side, and the center of gravity of his body also followed the trend. Press to the right.

Seeing Yang Ke's smooth breakthrough movements, Parker quickly shifted his center of gravity back to block Yang Ke's inward thrust.

But at this moment, Yang Ke suddenly pulled back, all the previous actions were pulled back, and at the same time, he took a step back, and his feet came to the three-point line again.

not good!

Knowing the impact of this step back, Parker's heart tightened, he hurriedly stopped his body, jumped up, and threw himself at Yang Ke, stretching out his arms, trying to cover Yang Ke's sight.

Unfortunately, he was still late!Yang Ke, who stepped back and jumped to the three-point line, didn't stop at all, and shot quickly after taking off!The basketball was successfully shot before Parker rushed over!

Swish!
The upturned net made Borrego on the sidelines very happy, clapping his hands and shouting: "Beautiful three-pointer, Yang's offense is getting more and more spiritual now!"

After all, the confrontation match is not a regular match, so the two coaches are very free, and they can stand on the sidelines to watch the match together without making a series of tactical preparations.

"But his defensive progress slowed down."

Hearing Borrego's words, Popovich was very calm, even a little dissatisfied, after all, he is a coach who emphasizes defense.

"With the blessing of golf intelligence, speed and extremely fast reaction ability, his defense has reached the extreme." Shaking his head, Borrego said slowly, "If you want to increase his defensive ability, you can only pass Gain weight, increase physical resistance."

Frowning, Popovich stared sideways at Borrego, acting very puzzled: "Speaking of this, I am very puzzled, didn't I arrange a nutritionist for Yang and make a tailor-made plan for him? A weight-gaining plan? How come it’s been a few months, that’s how it is.”

Shrugging, Borrego said helplessly, "I don't know, probably because of Yang's physique."

"Ugh."

Sighing, knowing that Yang Ke had been strictly adhering to the plan, Popovich was helpless.

Looking at the fast-moving game on the field, Popovich said with concern: "Don't look at the current confrontation match, Young's defense against Parker is becoming more and more effective, but when facing Westbrook tomorrow, Young will definitely take a bite." Big loss."

Nodding his head, Borrego seconded: "Indeed, Westbrook's skills are not as flexible as Parker's, but he has a strong body, and this is also Yang Ke's weakness on the defensive end."

In the conversation between Popovich and Borrego, the team's rivalry went quickly.As the game progressed, Yang Ke gradually figured out a way to deal with Parker's offense, and the defensive effect was not bad.

As for Leonard, he was not so lucky. Facing Gino Belgium, who is very good at changing hands from behind, his entanglement defense that he is usually proud of was useless at all, causing him to be kept by Ginobi throughout the game. Li presses and beats.

At noon, the training was over, and the sweaty people took a shower in the shower room, changed into new casual clothes, and returned to the court.

"The training effect of the intra-team competition is good. Since there will be a game tomorrow night, I will not arrange training today."

Standing in front of the crowd, Popovich quickly said that he was still very satisfied with the results of this morning's training. Considering that there will be another fierce battle tomorrow night, he canceled the original plan for the afternoon and let the players make their own arrangements.

"You can figure out the time today, and gather here at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

Popovich said calmly that he was very relieved of the players in the team, believed in their professionalism, and would not do anything that would affect their competitive state when there was a game the next day.

Then Popovich announced the disbandment of the team. Parker and the others left the training hall to have lunch together, and then went back to the hotel to take a good nap.

Leonard, who was going to stay for additional training, was dragged by Yang Ke to the appointment.

　Even though I spent so much time reviewing these days, I was still desperate when I got the high math paper.
