Chapter 34 The highest level of preparation

"This kind of scrambling was the main style of Kobe's defensive peak. With this, he can become the youngest first-defense player in NBA history. I am now using it to limit Harden in high school. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Not to mention completely locked, at least it can make Harden no longer score so unscrupulously."

Su Yang sat down where he was, and thought carefully about how to better defend in a dogfighting style.

The main thing is to figure out how to change the footsteps reasonably and quickly. After all, footsteps are the basis of all defenses.

Even if O'Neal is hard-pressed at the basket, the same is true.

Of course, in many cases, O'Neal couldn't bear the strong play at all, so that it seemed helpless.

But in those rounds where Big Ben defended O'Neal in singles, it was enough to see how important footwork is.

On the basis of having qualified steps,

Some players will increase interference through the advantage of wingspan, such as Marion and Prince;

Some players will make accurate positioning by predicting in advance, such as Battier and Sefolosha;
Some players will show their surprises through super instinct, such as Leonard and Olajuwon.

Compared with these players, Kobe's peak defensive period, that is, the third year of his rookie, became the real master of the team in [-]. Although he also has various defensive skills, he has improved his footwork to the extreme. .

Kobe was able to change his footsteps continuously at that time, moving quickly from the left front to the right front of the ball holder, and even behind his side, and then from different angles and positions, to interfere with the ball holder's rhythm, or to trick the ball holder into a double-team trap.

That time he pressed Wade from the backcourt was the most typical representative, blocking Wade almost the whole way.

There is also Chen Jianghua's fast break in the single defense of the Olympic Games, which blocked Chen Jianghua several times in a row and forced Chen Jianghua to the sideline.

However, Chen Jianghua is so awesome that he insists on relying on his speed to force him to become the highlight moment of his career.

It can be said that it is the easiest way to improve the defensive level through quick footstep changes.

No need for long arms and big muscles, just rely on interception to interfere with the ball holder, it is very simple and easy to learn.

But this strategy is very energy-intensive. Even Kobe himself, after becoming the absolute boss, reduced the number of times he used it. He used more routine restrictions by predicting running positions and passing the ball. Only in the playoffs did he use his life to defend.

Most young players are unwilling to learn this bitter defensive strategy. In addition, the NBA continues to modify various rules to enhance offense, resulting in lower and lower benefits for improving single-defense capabilities. This defensive strategy has gradually become history.

Except that it can be seen occasionally on Beverly, it is almost lost.

There are also some players who want to learn, but just can't because of lack of talent.

It's like when Leonard was in college, he always wondered: Why can't teammates, like me, always keep standing in front of the ball holder?Then our defensive level will be much better, which is really puzzling!

There are also some players who can learn and have strong physical strength, but they just don't want to use it in the game.

The most typical one is Wiggins, who has the same defensive strategy, can be very powerful, and can also be very stretched.

"Fortunately, I have done a lot of training before, and now I have enough physical strength to be able to fight in small steps."

Su Yang felt a little lucky. If he didn't have a month of hard training, it would be useless to learn how to change Kobe's defensive footsteps. It's like a person who doesn't know martial arts gets the dragon-slaying sword, and he might be deflated when he meets a little guy.

Putting his mind away, Su Yang imagined how Harden would break through, and practiced against the air first.

It was not until 08:30 in the evening that I took a shower and changed clothes to leave the arena, and the moon just showed its face.

...

As the competition was approaching, Su Yang adjusted his training plan and slept until six o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, I rushed to school with Zheng Xiang, and went to and from get out of class according to the normal rhythm.

I continued to hang the horizontal bar at noon, but I didn’t do strength training in the afternoon, I just did some aerobic exercise.

When the whole team gathered for training, Su Yang had been practicing short-step fighting. At the beginning, because it was difficult to control the rhythm reasonably, Ron and the others easily broke through many times, but soon found the feeling, which made Ron and the others quite uncomfortable.

Persisted all over the field, feeling that the whole person was about to fall apart, but fortunately, the devil training was suspended before.

During the break, Coach David came over to announce the itinerary for the last few games.

There are many American high school leagues, and the competition system is also different. You can participate in multiple leagues in one semester, so the schedule is more complicated. You need to notify and coordinate in advance, and sometimes you need to get the signature of the guardian.

Mu Qiao High School participated in the Southern California Division I Championship this time, and first had to play [-] regular-season games.

If you can qualify for the playoffs, you will have to arrange your schedule again.

"Tomorrow is our first game of the new season, and many students and teachers will come to watch and support." David said, "We want to play at the highest level, and we are absolutely capable of defeating Adishia High School and creating glory!"

The whole team cheered and Su Yang followed suit.

As soon as I arrived at the school in the morning, I found several newly pulled banners, all of which were cheering for the team. The arenas also put up a big sign, right next to the All-Star group photo, and Su Yang's photo occupied the absolute C position.

Lu Rulan also sent a message, saying that after the coordination of the volunteer association, the number of cheerleaders will increase greatly, and it is absolutely guaranteed that the atmosphere of the audience will not become cold, unless the team starts the game and beats the opponent to the ground.

"In addition, I still have a few videos here, mainly the technical action clips of Harden's teammates." David said, "It may be too late to study carefully now, but you can also take the time to watch it and prepare in advance."

David also provided a material, which is the list and basic information of Adishia High School players.

Ron took the video tape, turned around and handed it to Su Yang: "Do you want to host this analysis?"

Su Yang nodded, then led the team into the multimedia conference room, and put the video on the projector.

Facing the player list, Su Yang began to analyze the opponent's technical points for his teammates.

One after another, from shooting style to defensive tendency, explained in detail, teammates occasionally mentioned some omissions, the scene is like before the NBA team game, the players gather together to discuss how to beat the opponent.

"Fuck, this guy is also six-foot-five?" Ron suddenly complained, and then smiled: "To be honest, I was a little scared before, but now that we are attacking fast, he may not be able to move in time."

The previous time when they took the initiative to find Harden, Su Yang and others had played against half of the Adishia High School team. At that time, there was a fan who was nearly two meters tall. Ron shades.

Now I saw another one, and he became full of confidence, which was completely changed by winning.

"We need to pay special attention to this guy." Su Yang pressed the pause button and pointed at a mature-looking player. It was not easy to face Harden before, but now he finally remembered the name.

"Tony Glasser?" Ron looked curious, "He was the one who played heads-up last time."

"Well! We have to restrict his passing, but we can let him shoot long shots." Su Yang remembers that Glasser is Harden's friend. The two entered Arizona State University together and formed the starting lineup in the backcourt. deviation.

"Then we'll do it." Ron nodded continuously, "With this level of preparation, we will surely win!"
