Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 22 22. Intra-team training confrontation
While Richard was still moved by his flash of inspiration, Huestis had already launched an attack.

Huestis chose to break through directly, but due to his talent, his speed was not fast.

He even failed to hit Richard with a surprise attack.

Richard moved his feet to block Huestis, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was difficult to move. Originally, his speed should be stronger than Huestis, but in the end he could barely block it.

After receiving the news from Collison this morning, Richard did not stop training. He accelerated his morning jogging, and after the opening of the arena, he conducted a lot of physical training. Before the arrival of other players, Richard had already trained at full capacity for more than 3 hours.

Huestis knew that Richard was very fast, so his breakthrough was just a decoy.

But Richard's speed didn't increase, instead he forced Huestis back.

Huestis also used the same breakthrough method for the last ball, tricking Payne into speeding up, and then making an emergency stop and throwing off the space to score a jumper.

Seeing that Richard was absent-minded, Huestis wanted to use the same method to stop the jumper.

As a result, there is no space left.

The time to start dribbling is already counting. Instead of hesitating and not knowing what to do, it is better to complete your technical movements.

Huestis still chose the emergency stop jumper.

Richard's legs were almost unable to lift up. Even if Huestis jumped in front of him, he couldn't make up for the defense at all. He could only stretch his arms to interfere with the opponent.

Huestis' ball bounced twice on the rim and rolled in.

The offense wins, and Huestis has scored 2 points.

The onlookers applauded one after another. Good luck was the key reason for this ball, but the decisive factor was that Huestis played resolutely, which deserves encouragement.

Richard stood on the sidelines again, and after he had already thought about the result, he focused all his attention on the confrontation.

Payne defended Huestis again, and Huestis, who succeeded twice in a row, continued to use an emergency stop jumper. This time Payne was well prepared and was not opened up. Huestis' luck did not last forever, and the defense won.

It was Richard's turn to defend Payne.

Payne is a point guard, smaller in stature, and only slightly faster than Huestis.

Facing Richard, Payne launched his own speed without showing any weakness.

Dragging his tired feet, Richard barely kept up with Payne.

Who knew that after Payne rushed up, he threw the shot directly against Richard. The timing of the shot was very subtle, and he had no chance to defend.

The teammates applauded again. After the point guard and the inside pick-and-roll, they have to face opponents much taller than themselves. Rhythm changes and throwing shots must be housekeeping skills.

Payne also scored 1 point.

If this is the team's weakest trio, Richard actually lost both of them, isn't that the title of the team's weakest?

Even if Richard didn't have too much physical exertion due to training in advance, it is estimated that the defense is not enough.

Facing Huestis, Payne once again scored 1 point with a throw.

At present, both of them have 2 points, and only Richard has not even won the ball.

Moreover, it is very clear that Payne and Huestis are also honing a certain technique of their own, which can be used as a killer technique.

It is a bit embarrassing to score in training, but the rewards are great, and Richard feels suddenly enlightened.

Defending Payne again, Richard's legs and feet that had been resting regained some strength, and they were no longer sore and numb.

If you are faster than your opponent in defense, you can press closely and put more pressure on your opponent.

Payne couldn't rely on a breakthrough to open up the space. Although he still made a throw, the angle and strength of the shot were different from usual, so naturally he couldn't make any contribution.

Richard successfully defended and finally got the first chance to attack.

Huestis defends.

Speaking of mid-range shots, the first one I have used in the game is the emergency stop jumper, the second is the fadeaway jumper, and the second is the step-back shot.

Among them, the smallest turnover rate is the step-back shot. You can rely on your own footsteps to exchange for the space of your hand, and it is easier to obtain a high shooting rate. The rhythm change is also more suitable for your current thin body.

Just do it when you think about it, Richard relied on his height and speed to take advantage of it, and directly forcibly broke through.

After the body has contact and confrontation, rely on body contact to block the opponent's position, and then through the change of speed, the non-supporting foot steps towards the direction away from the defense, and then quickly retracts the supporting foot, and then takes a step away from the defender.

This is a step-back shot, you can step back, or you can step back left and right.

Advanced Some opponents may take off and block the ball because they have joined the ball, and wait for the opponent to jump up before shooting, which can avoid blocking or directly create fouls.

Huestis' defensive ability is not that strong, and Richard only practiced the first type, the ordinary step-back shot.

The ball crashed into the net and recovered a point first.

There was sparse applause. The teammates were used to some of Richard's gorgeous offensive skills. Such a step-back shot should be easy to come by.

Putting on Payne, Richard launched an attack again.

Payne is slightly faster, and he can add some moves in his hands, such as tentative steals.

Richard almost got the ball away before breaking through.

Quickly raise the ball high, take a tentative step with your right foot, the ball returns in a circle, and breaks through to the right.

Payne's tentative steal did not succeed, but he was ready to defend, and immediately caught up with Richard.

Richard also blocked Payne with his body, suddenly changed his rhythm, and took a step back to shoot a jumper.

Payne didn't expect that Richard would use the same technique continuously, and this time he was thrown farther away.

Richard made a steady hit.

Three people with 2 points.

"Huh?" This time, the teammates hardly even applauded. Almost no one believed that Richard would use the same technique continuously, and some had already started whispering to each other to express their disbelief.

Huestis played again.

Richard repeated the old trick, still stepping back and jumping.

From the shocked expression of Huestis, it can be seen that he never thought about defending against the retreat. Richard used the same technique for the third time.

3 points.

Payne took a little care this time and didn't release his full speed, but he still had doubts about whether Richard would still use the backward step.

As a result, Richard used the retreat step for the fourth time.

Payne made a timely attack, but due to his height and lack of preparation, he did not cause good interference.

4 points.

Now even the assistant coach was surprised, how did Richard get the hang of it?I know that I have to seriously hone my skills in team training.

Donovan smiled in the middle of the field.

On the fifth ball, Huestis completely put his defense on the step-back. Richard was also disturbed due to physical problems and the score was interrupted.

Only then did the teammates give warm applause, and it was unclear whether they were encouraging Richard or praising Huestis for his defense.

Five minutes passed quickly, and finally Richard won the first place in the group with 5 points, Huestis scored 5 points, and Payne scored 3 points.

"Okay, boys, the results have come out, you can fulfill your promises. Run with all your strength, start!" The assistant coach gave an order, and the three started running.

Another group of three on the field also started a fierce duel.

Richard's legs were weak and he ran very slowly. Huestis took the lead in running 40 times.

Followed by Payne's 50.

Richard hasn't finished running yet.

"It's only 30 times. Is it lazy to run so slowly?" Huestis whispered in his resting position.

Still a little dissatisfied with losing to Richard.

"Li Cha should have run 50 times, but now it's 42 times." The assistant coach counted the number and heard Huestis muttering in response.

Huestis was a little surprised, "50 times? Isn't he No.1? Why did he run 50 times?"

The assistant coach shrugged, he didn't know why, Richard was willing to run to the head coach and watch from the sidelines, why did he want to interrupt him.

Finally, Richard ran 50 times and returned to his resting seat.

As soon as he sat down, he lowered his head and gasped for breath.

Then he grabbed a bottle of water and poured it on his head.

All the water ran down the hair and onto the floor.

The staff on the side quickly came up with towels and mops to clean up the water.

Several other groups have also completed the confrontation and are running back and forth.

Soon after the back and forth runs were completed, Donovan gathered all the players together again, "Today's training was not bad, we will seriously analyze your performance when we come down, and you can practice freely before 12 noon. Disband!"

Then I got together with several other assistant coaches to analyze the performance of the players.

Several players get together to play a 4-on-4 match.

4-on-4 only uses half the field, and the basket on the other side is vacant for other players to practice shooting.

After Richard got a little rest, he came to the empty basket and continued to practice the step back.

Did not participate in the 4-on-4 confrontation match.

Dribble, step back, shoot.

Dribble, step back, shoot.

Richard practiced again and again, his movements became smoother, and the coordination of his hands and feet became better and better.

But the ball gradually missed the shot.

"Hey! You have no physical strength now, and your muscles only remember wrong movements and results, so how can you achieve the purpose of training?" Donovan's voice sounded behind Richard.

Richard, who was immersed in the shooting practice, trembled in fright.

"Coach?" Richard quickly turned to face Donovan.

"Am I that scary? It's almost 12 o'clock, you can go back and rest." Donovan slapped Richard with the tactical board and walked straight to the exit.

On the other side, the test match also stopped, and the players packed up their bags and prepared to leave the arena.
