you are all star

Chapter 333 All three are important
After Neil successfully completed a hundred times, his back hurts, his hands and ten fingers can't be straightened, and his knuckles feel numb with pain.

But at this moment, Lavender brought them food, which slightly shifted the pain in his waist and back, and the feeling of wanting to lie down while standing.

But after eating, Isiah Thomas arranged a new task for Neil: "Boy, are you full?"

"How about you, sir?"

"We're full, let's start training!"

"Are you still training today?"

"Of course! However, it's okay if you don't want to train anymore. I want to rest too, and I'm tired." Isiah Thomas tentatively tested again whether Neil is the kind of person who is not afraid of hardships and is not afraid Tired, persistent people.

"No, no...I'm not tired, I want to train." Neil didn't want to train at first, but Isiah Thomas worked so hard to come to the Detroit Pistons headquarters because of his dream, because of the boss's entrustment, and because of his dream. For the future of the team, such selflessness is worthy of admiration and respect. Therefore, Neil hastily retracted what he just said, and stretched his weak body and limbs to reply.

"This is the Neil I most want to see!"

"Hey... what are we going to train next?"

"Training to break through and collect the ball, only collect the ball, not layup, did you hear clearly?" Isiah Thomas stared at Neil, and gave the task seriously.

Neil stretched his waist, his muscles and bones rattling... He instantly felt that he was full of blood again, and responded to Isiah Thomas with a smirk: "Listen clearly!"

Since entering the training hall, Lavender has noticed that Neil is too tired, too tired, and in pain, so she asked him more concernedly before, is he okay?But Neil replied to her with a smile, it's okay, but when Mr. Isiah Thomas arranged a new task for him at this moment, she was worried that Neil's body would be able to bear it, so she stood up and asked Neil with more concern. Er: "Neil, is it okay?"

"no problem!"

"Then be careful!"

As soon as Lavender finished speaking, Isiah Thomas picked up the ball from the ground and handed it to Neil: "Come on, boy, break me with the ball, do you want me to demonstrate it to you? Just collect the ball and don't make any shots." action."

"Sir, show me a demonstration!"

"Okay, give me the ball, then go around and defend."

Neil stared at Isiah Thomas and nodded, walked around in front of him and spread his hands, squatting and standing, his hands kept waving in front of Isiah Thomas.

Isiah Thomas is very familiar with Neil's defensive action. He first lowered his center of gravity low enough, and then swayed back and forth in a large arc to dribble the ball, paying attention to Neal all the time during the dribble. After he moved back and forth three times, Neil's footsteps became uncoordinated. Isiah Thomas made a false stop and looked up quickly. Neil's intuition told him that Isiah Thomas Isaiah Thomas took advantage of this time difference, dribbling the ball with his right hand, speeding up in an instant, and passed Neil's left hand with a big stride, and he was very skillful immediately. Collect the ball.

"Boy, I've finished the demonstration, it's your turn!"

"Sir, you are too fast. Obviously in the past situations I have encountered in the past, most players would have received the ball before I pounced on it, but Neil quickly increased his speed and passed me in one step. Collecting the ball is really hard to guard against, caught off guard, good shot!"

After Neil finished speaking, he applauded and praised Isiah Thomas for his skillful breakthrough and collection of the ball just now.

"Then what do you think on the field, should I collect the ball after I trick you, or should I speed up and step away from my right side and then collect the ball?" Isiah Thomas asked Neil with a smile.

"Neil, of course I've lied to you and collected the ball. Because of the sharp breakthrough just now, the defender who was thrown off can make up the defense in time, and there are very few players who interfere with the ball holder's shooting, unless other teammates help assist. Otherwise, no matter how quick the reaction is, the player will not be able to do it." Lavender, who was watching from the sidelines, expressed his unique opinion before Neil.

Before Lavender finished speaking, Isiah Thomas asked Lavender curiously: "Miss Lavender, you should have played ball before, right?"

"Mr. Hui, I have played against Neil before, but my skills have always been mediocre. The reason why I can see when the ball was better in that breakthrough just now is because I usually watch a lot of ball games. The movements of collecting the ball are all familiar by heart, and you can know what the player is about to do at a glance."

"Amazing, Miss Lavender!"

"Mister is serious!"

"At this time, I thought, if you had defended the breakthrough just now, I might not be able to succeed."

"Sir, in fact, in your breakthrough just now, no matter who is defending, they can only predict your actions in the last second, and cannot predict the situation where you collect the ball and make shots in the next second, and I can't predict it either. , Because of this, I feel that the ball collection after you cheated Neil was better. In fact, I think Neil also shares my opinion. Even if he failed to limit your breakthrough just now, it is better or worse. He can still tell the difference."

"Sir, Lavender is right. I do have the same opinion as her, because I was cheated. Therefore, I am more optimistic about your breakthrough just now, and I am more optimistic about collecting the ball after striding, because it is easier to create the best shot. Great opportunity."

"Boy, yes, I can clearly understand the best time to shoot, but from the breakthrough just now, do you see any problems?" Isiah Thomas wanted to let Neal understand through the breakthrough just now. Something, staring at Neil and asking.

"No problem, just right, no blemishes, just picturesque." Neil replied without really understanding what Isiah Thomas meant.

"Boy, the 'question' I'm talking about here is what did you realize, what did you learn?"

"Learned to use more fake moves to break through."

"It's a little bit right, now I will tell you a little bit, I hope you will keep it in mind."

Neil nodded modestly and teachably.

"From this moment on, I hope you will stay forever. In fact, there are rules to follow in basketball. When we do everything, there is a first-come-first-served basis. Is this not difficult to understand?"

"Um……"

"Then your basketball game, which link should we do first?"

"Breakthrough with the ball."

"and then?"

"Get rid of the defender and collect the ball."

"Finally?"

"Of course it was a shot."

"Yes, let me ask you again, which of these three links is the most important in your mind."

"Breakthrough with the ball!"

"you sure?"

"Of course!"

"Then I will tell you a new understanding now. In fact, in the process of basketball from dribbling to shooting, breakthrough with the ball, collection of the ball, and layup are all equally important. There will be mistakes, mistakes in receiving the ball, and the hardships of holding the ball and breaking through have turned into futile work, let alone layups. The most important thing is that only when all three are done well, the layup will not give the opponent a chance to breathe, and the team will be guaranteed to win. Today, I am here to tell you, I hope you will always To have that awareness, to break through with the ball, to collect the ball, to layup, all three are very important.”

"Neil must keep in mind the mistakes that Mr. pointed out today, and he will definitely do what he said in the future, and always put the three in the same position."

"That's great, let's continue training with the ball!"

"Um……"
