you are all star

Chapter 152

Neal hadn't noticed that Derby's three-point shooting was so bad before, and he really saw him shoot a three-pointer today.

Because he had never shot a [-] in front of anyone before, especially when Neal was on the varsity team.On the one hand, it is probably because they are afraid of being attacked and ridiculed, and on the other hand, it is probably because they often vote three times and don't have the courage to try.

However, Neal was suddenly very happy and proud of him. Unexpectedly, before he graduated, he mustered up the courage to shoot a three-pointer in front of us. This is worthy of being happy and proud of him, but this is not a problem now The crux of the problem is, as a brother Neal, before he leaves school, can Derby learn a little bit of the three-point shooting posture and standard moves that his father taught Neil, and what's more, he left them After that, whether you have the courage to shoot a three-pointer in front of other people, practice three-pointers, this is the fatal place.

Considering all these reasons, Neil decided to change the rules of their friendly battle. After thinking about it for a while, he beckoned Lavender and Sonia over.

After Lavender and Sonia gathered around, Neil looked at them and said to Derby: "Brother, because you are so afraid of three-pointers and you really want to practice well, then I suddenly have a new plan, do you want to hear it? "

"Brother, say it!"

"We will not be singled out next, but will compete for three-pointers."

"But I just don't have the courage and confidence to vote. I always stick to three things. There is no comparison, brother!"

Lavender and Sonia looked at Derby, who was always full of confidence, but now, like some people who have never played, they are quite inferior, as if they have an inexplicable fear when they see the three-point line.Therefore, the two of them looked at each other and patted Derby on the shoulder: "Derby, be confident. We all have confidence in you. Be patient and listen to Neil."

Only then did Derby control his nervousness and low self-esteem a little bit. He looked up at Neil: "Brother, tell me, what's the comparison?"

"Brother, my new plan, the new formula is like this, I will give you a trial shot of five shots, and then use your mid-range jumper posture to shoot a three-pointer. What you have to learn from me is the arc of my take-off It is the same as the hand shape when shooting, because in fact, the principle of two-point shooting and three-point shooting is the same. I believe that you can be so accurate in mid-range shots. Yes, trust me!"

After Neil finished speaking, he patted his shoulder lightly, nodded, picked up the basketball lying on the ground, slightly shaken by the cool summer breeze, walked beyond the three-point line, looked at Derby and said, "Brother, watch out!" Already! I’ll finish the demonstration, and I’ll talk about our match after you’ve finished your trial casting.”

Derby nodded, staring at Neil as if his eyes were focused on the light.

Neal thought that it would be very difficult for Derby to practice the three-pointer with a fadeaway jumper from the very beginning, and it was almost non-stick. Neil had to show Derby the general shooting posture that is not too difficult, so that he would be easy to learn and get the feeling and confidence.

So, Neal decided to demonstrate to Derby, a simple jump shot without a fadeaway, Neal looked at the basket, took off, shot quickly, and when his foot landed, the ball had already been shot, this happened five times in a row, Neal The hit rate is not low, five into three.

After he finished shooting, he picked up the ball and passed it to Derby, saying: "Brother, be confident, you can do it. Three-point shooting is very consistent. Generally, jumping shots are less laborious than standing shots, and they usually take off, shoot, double-handed." Once your feet fall, you should understand it, so just use your mid-range shooting posture and try it out."

Derby nodded, holding the basketball hard, looking at the distance between the backboard and him, it always felt a little far away, and he was always afraid. It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch the basket. He suddenly trembled with nervousness. , especially scared, to make a move, just like before and just now, because the three non-sticks have left a shadow in his heart, once the three non-sticks, he will be attacked and ridiculed by countless people, but Derby still mustered up the courage, With eyes closed, just like Neil, he took off, shot, and landed with both feet.

He had finished all the whole movements, took off, and his feet landed on the ground, but the basketball was still in his hands. When he landed on both feet, he realized that the basketball hadn't been shot yet, and he was still holding it in his hands. The ball dropped his hand, opened his eyes, and looked at Neil wanting to cry, Sonia and Lavender said, "I can't, I can't..."

"It's okay, come on again, you can shoot as you like." Neil walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Come on, we are optimistic about you, you are our champion, if you can't, then no one can." Lavender and Sonia actively encouraged Derby.

Derby held the basketball in one hand, as if he was about to dunk, rubbed his eyes with the other hand, stared at the basket for a while, and used his mid-range shooting posture to take off, shoot, and land with both feet.

He controlled the strength very well, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in front of him. He, Neil, Lavender and Sonia saw the basketball getting more and more straight away from the basket, thinking that there would be no accidents, and it must have entered, but the strength It was still a little short, a little short, and hit the basket. Derby looked at his feet again, and he had already stepped on the three-point line, and the ball hadn't even been scored, so he sighed: "Hey... there is no cure. , I jumped into the three-point line, still so strenuous, still not strong enough, I am really a player without talent."

Neil, Lavender and Sonia looked at Derby, smiled and said: "Derby, you are already very good, really, you are already able to touch the basket from the previous three non-stick, just adjust the intensity a little bit, you You can put it in."

"Don't comfort me, this is a two-pointer, not a three-pointer, okay?" Derby seemed to have been completely destroyed by the three-pointer, and said a little self-destructively.

Seeing Derby like this, Neil had to stand up and say, "Brother, let me ask you, did you step on the three-point line with your feet before you took off?"

Derby shook his head.

"Then this is a three-pointer, but the strength is a little weaker, and there is no progress."

"But in the end, my feet are inside the three-point line?"

"It seems that you have participated in so many games and stayed in the penalty area all the time. You didn't pay attention to the three-pointers shot by your teammates and opponents. I gave a demonstration before. The reason why you didn't step on the three-point line is because I firmly believe that I have Enough power to shoot a three-pointer and make it, so I am a little far from the three-point line. The criterion for judging a three-pointer is whether you step on the three-point line when you make a shot. Inside the point line, stepping on the three-point line, it counts as a three-pointer. Unexpectedly, you, a basketball genius, have the same concept as the first time I shot a three-pointer when I was a child. This is normal, and my father told me , I just realized that the shot you just made was a three-pointer in the NBA, believe me, keep going, good job!"

Derby suddenly seemed to have a little bit of confidence and courage. Hearing what Neil said, he felt happy. He was not as scared and nervous as before. He seemed to have found a little bit of feeling, and he seemed to understand that there was a problem with his shooting posture before. , Really, the hand shape and posture of shooting three-pointers are the same as shooting two-pointers in mid-range shots, but the only thing that doesn't hurt is the strength.

He looked at his feet, didn't step on the line, and stared at the basket for a while, still using his mid-range shooting posture, controlling the strength like a mid-range shot, jumping, shooting, his feet falling, and staring at the sky that passed over him. Basketball, the four of them feel like this time, right, it must be hollow.

Sure enough, an arrow pierced through the heart, and the friction between the basketball and the net made a crisp and pleasant sound. Immediately, Derby ran over, jumped up and bumped into Neil to celebrate, and then gave Lavender and Sonia a high-five to congratulate.

Neil, Lavender and Sonia were all very happy for Derby, applauding him, encouraging him and cheering for him.

Neil ran over to pick up the basketball, and said with a smirk, "Good job, brother! Do you feel a little bit now?"

"I have a feeling. In fact, the three-point shot has the same posture, the same movement, and the same hand shape as the mid-range two-point shot. The only difference is that he needs to use more force, but it is too big. Crossing the bridge , too small, three non-stick, therefore, it is very important to master the strength. Now I understand why I always struggled to shoot three-pointers in the past. I don’t understand that the three-pointer and the mid-range two-pointer actually have the same principle.” Derby answered Neil with deep feeling after practicing it himself.

While Derby said, Neil, Lavender and Sonia just nodded happily from time to time.

"Very good, brother! It seems that if I say a thousand words and ten thousand, it is better for you to make a goal. Therefore, I have a feeling, continue to make the last trial shot, and we will have a three-pointer." Neil said laughingly.

"Brother, don't say that, it's not you, no matter how talented I am, I can't realize the similarities between three-pointers and mid-range two-pointers." Derby said modestly, grateful to Neil.

Hearing what Derby said, Neil felt that all the sacrifices were worthwhile, and that's how brothers should be. Whoever has a problem should take the initiative to point it out, and they all hope that each other will become better and stronger.

Derby looked at Neil, Lavender and Sonia, who looked happy, and made another three-pointer. Although the force was a little heavier, it was still very positive and hit the basketball.

Neil, Lavender, and Sonia were all surprised: "It's incredible! From the previous three non-sticks to the current five middle two."

Seeing the ball scored again, Derby rushed over excitedly and gave them high fives to congratulate.
