legendary basket god

Chapter 78
It was these two seemingly simple confrontational layups that Lin Hao practiced all afternoon.

"Okay, let's stop here today, you can take a good rest tonight. I will teach you the rest tomorrow." Uncle Liu patted the dust on his buttocks.

"Uncle Liu, why haven't you seen Le Tian these days?" Lin Hao asked.

"I forgot to tell you that when you went to Baodao, he went to U17."

"U17?" Lin Hao secretly said in surprise.

"Well, in fact, he had the opportunity to go in last year. For various reasons, he didn't make it in the end." Uncle Liu sighed.

"I hope to gain some insight this time. If you don't swim deeply, how can you know the depth of the sea, and if you don't fly far, how will you know the breadth of the sky?" Uncle Liu said with hope in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Lotte will not let you down." Lin Hao said comfortingly.

"Hopefully."

Lin Hao returned home, soaked quietly in the bathtub, covered his eyes with a towel, and meditated.

Lin Hao was thinking, he will be 19 soon, what kind of level has he reached?
Lotte has begun to enter the national stage, and even the world.

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, the best players in the world, graduated from high school, entered the NBA at the age of 18, and became world-renowned superstars.

Lin Hao feels that time is very tight now.

In the past, Lin Hao felt that he was still young, and the cba and nba seemed out of reach.

But Le Tian's sudden departure, like a bolt from the blue, told Lin Hao that he was 19 years old.

Among his peers, gradually entering the world's main stage, Lin Hao suddenly found that there was such a big distance between himself and the top players of his age.

The hesitation caused by this gap spread over the surface, and Lin Hao was a little out of breath.

"Who said that the summer vacation after the college entrance examination is the happiest without any worries." Lin Hao laughed at himself.

The next day, Lin Hao stared at a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

"Hao, what's wrong with you?" Sister Ru asked in surprise.

"Sister Ru, what were you doing when you were 19?" Lin Hao asked.

"Ah?" Sister Ru was shocked by Lin Hao's question.

"I'm studying abroad, and I'm ~~~~ drinking too much." Sister Ru said.

"Well, let's train." Lin Hao said seriously.

Next, Sister Ru told Lin Hao what she said, and then she knew why Lin Hao suddenly became like this.

Then Sister Ru threw a chestnut on the back of Lin Hao's head.

"It's okay, what kind of crazy, like a sentimental woman."

"Train hard, think so much, are you tired?" Sister Ru said domineeringly.

"But..." Lin Hao said aggrievedly.

"But what, do you dislike your current life and want to become a starlet?"

"no no."

After sister Ru made such a fuss, Lin Hao felt much better.

"After all, I'm just an ordinary handsome guy." Lin Hao comforted himself.

In the afternoon, Lin Hao went to the gymnasium again.

"Go to warm up, and then practice yesterday's content by yourself, and I will teach you the final confrontation layup later." Uncle Liu said.

"Actually, you are very familiar with this kind of confrontational layup." Uncle Liu said.

"Huh?" Lin Hao asked suspiciously.

"How do you usually hook you?"

Lin Hao thought for a while and suddenly realized: "I understand."

Uncle Liu smiled and threw the ball to Lin Hao.

This time Lin Hao acted as a lecturer.

"Extend the shoulders to the maximum to increase the distance from the defender. At the same time, when laying up, the other hand blocks the opponent to prevent him from interfering with the ball."

"I'm more than half right, just don't lean over or sideways." Uncle Liu said with a smile.

"Come to show you a big baby." Uncle Liu said with a mysterious smile.

Then Uncle Liu went to the corner, and there was a big pillar in the corner.

"Come here to help, what are you doing in a daze?" Uncle Liu said.

"Shove Big Black onto the field."

"Big black?"

Lin Hao hugged the pillar, unexpectedly Dahei was not light at all.

"Use a little force, Xiao Hei weighs 180 catties." Uncle Liu said looking at Lin Hao's deflated appearance.

"If you practice head-on layups, use Xiao Hei as your opponent." Uncle Liu said.

Then all afternoon, it was a duel between Lin Hao and Xiao Hei.

Lin Hao was very surprised that Xiao Hei's weight distribution was just like ordinary people.

And Xiao Hei can stretch out his arms, like a real defender.

"Since I taught you how to fight against the layup, I will teach you a little more by the way." After watching two episodes of Pleasant Goat, Uncle Liu saw Lin Hao having a great time fighting Xiao Hei on the court.

"Give me the ball." Uncle Liu walked onto the court.

"Now I will teach you the clock steps." Uncle Liu said.

"Clock steps?" Lin Hao asked suspiciously.

"Does it sound very high?" Uncle Liu said.

"It sounds very powerful, but people who play basketball can basically know it, but it is also the most practical." Uncle Liu did not continue to tease Lin Hao.

"First you need to determine one pivot foot, and then the other foot moves, just like the minute hand, so it's called a clock step."

"Usually we'll catch the ball sideways or with our backs, and after you catch the ball, you turn around and face the basket and face the defender at the same time."

"How to catch the ball has been taught you when you first learn basketball, now teach you how to turn around to face the frame."

"After receiving the ball, if the opponent is close to the body, choose to turn around quickly. If there is enough space, turn slowly and step by step."

"As you turn around, remember not to move your pivot foot while maintaining your center."

"Now first, I will show you a quick turn. When turning, only the torso of the body is needed to complete the turn, so your hands don't have to turn half a circle like drawing a half circle."

"You can make a cross-cutting motion with your hand, so you can greatly speed up the turning motion, and at the same time reduce the risk of the opponent drawing the ball."

"Watch my footsteps, my feet are also straight crosscuts, or sidecuts."

"Come and practice."

Lin Hao took the ball and began to repeat Uncle Liu's movements. As long as he knows how to turn around like this, he won't take it at all.

"If the opponent sticks up when you catch the ball, you can use a quick clock-step sideways turn to deceive the opponent."

"If you're very proficient, you can throw the ball out, or increase the range of motion to increase deception."

"Turn around slowly and there is no need to say more."

"There is also the clock step that most tests the attacker's ability to read the defense, and also very much tests the attacker's reaction speed and ability to catch flaws."

"Cooperating with the clock step, there are also skills such as turning around, or directly pulling out after deceiving the opponent."

"I once met a guy who had a very characteristic clock step. He used his shoulders, added hands to move the basketball, and small movements of his feet to trick his opponent into making a wrong half-step, and then immediately pulled up."

"Although he is not a professional player, his grasp of timing is astonishing. In addition to his height, almost no one in the folk can guard him." Uncle Liu couldn't help feeling ashamed.

"Let's put it this way, the clock step is the simplest singles technique, and it is also the basis of almost all singles with the ball."

"Cooperating with the clock step, of course, it is indispensable to explore the step and fake shots. You can do these, but what I want to say is to fight against the layup after the time step."

"Sometimes, even if you fail to deceive your opponent, you can use the clock step to give yourself space and ensure that you can take the first step."

"Like I am now." Uncle Liu turned around sharply in a row, and even took steps, making Lin Hao take two steps back.

"So the speed of initiation of the first step is very important."

"McGrady was very famous for his one-step leap back then, and now the Heat's Flash Wade, their first step is terribly fast."

"After the first step has enough speed, you have enough impact. At this time, you have to be ready to fight the layup in advance. It is best to be ready from the first step."

"After fully assessing whether you can knock the opponent away, choose to lean in for a layup, or an inside or outside layup. It is best to plan before attacking."

"So it's really a test of your ability to read the defense and know the defender."

"Speaking of which, I would like to remind you that in a professional league, there are about 300 players, and about 150 of them often play. You must be familiar with these 150."

"Perhaps the coach will tell you the characteristics of the players you are playing against, but the court is changing rapidly. More preparation means more opportunities and chances to win."
