The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"We need him to play the role of LeBron in training. LeBron has developed a certain shooting ability this season. He is the most suitable candidate."

"Okay, I see, I'll be in touch with the T-mac team."

Tang Tian deliberately slowed down his pace, but he only heard clearly the last two sentences they exchanged.

By this time they had passed through the state floor staircase covered with oil paintings and arrived at the East Room where the president was going to receive them. .

"The east room is the largest reception room in the Guojia Building. The remains of seven presidents have been parked here, and the weddings of many presidents' daughters have also been held here. President Roosevelt watched Japanese sumo performances here, and President Kennedy was here. Enjoy the beautiful performance..."

The staff were still introducing, but Tang Tian recalled something now.

In the previous life, McGrady was indeed the Spurs signed this season.

Fans outside thought that McGrady wanted to get a championship ring before retiring. After all, he had already played for the CBA Qingdao team last season.

However, judging from the exchange between Popovich and Buford, the Spurs should sign McGrady to play the role of James.

That's pretty appropriate to say the least.

The current McGrady weighs a lot more than he did at his peak, and his shooting hand is still there. In training games, it is really useful.

And to be honest, both he and Green are in the second position, and in the third position, except for Leonard, there is really no one who can match up with James.

After being received by President Obama, taking a group photo at the entrance of the South Campus introduced by the previous staff, and presenting jerseys, the Spurs' trip to the White House is almost over.

And just after the team finished the game against the Wizards and returned to San Antonio the next day, the Spurs officially announced a news.

The team waived James Anderson and reached a one-year contract with Tracy McGrady.

"T-Mac got a ride with the Spurs? He's the only scoring leader in the NBA who didn't make it past the first round of the playoffs."

"T-Mac hasn't played in the playoffs since playing the Jazz in the playoffs in 2008. The purpose of this signing is not clear."

"T-Mac will be eligible for the playoffs because he didn't make any rosters this season and wasn't cut prior to March 3."

……

After the news broke, the response from the United States was relatively calm, but the domestic fans exploded in an instant.

You should know that McGrady has just ended his CBA season, and his popularity is at its peak in China.

"I'm so crying, is McGrady finally going to get the championship ring?"

"This time it's not the first round of sex, it's an ecstasy to the end, directly to the pinnacle of life!"

"You talk so flirtatiously, man! But I like it!"

"McGrady is the only superstar who has assisted two Chinese players? The last one was Dayao, and this time it is Tang Tian."

"And this signing is really interesting. Do you still remember McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points! That's the Spurs!"

"In order not to have to experience the scene of 35 seconds and 13 minutes in the future, we decided to sign McGrady! (≧?≦)?"

"Anyway, the Spurs are the defending champions, and they are now No. [-] in the league. McGrady really has a chance to get his championship ring this time!"

"I'm really looking forward to that scene. Come on, Tang Tian, ​​you are our present, but McGrady is our youth, I hope you can make our youth have no regrets!"

……

On the third day after the Spurs announced the signing, McGrady reported to the Spurs.

He did look a little chubby, and by the end of his career, "Fat Mai" really lived up to his name.

"35 seconds and 13 minutes."

Ginobili didn't call McGrady's name when he came up, but directly said hello in 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

McGrady laughed, then hugged Ginobili.

Parker and Dio also went up to say hello.

Their words intersect with McGrady's career.

"Hey Don."

After greeting them, Mai Di took the initiative to come to Tang Tian's side.

"Yao told me that we must establish a good relationship with you, so that next time he treats you to dinner, he can let me bring a message."

Maddy came up and said.

Tang Tian stood up with a smile, shook hands with Mai Di, and bumped shoulders.

McGrady's words are trying to get close, but it shouldn't be a lie.

It is true that he and Yao Ming haven't met each other yet, and it would be much more convenient to have a new teammate, McGrady.

McGrady used the wardrobe that Anderson used before, which was quite close to Tang Tian's position.

Not long after sitting down, he slid the chair to Tang Tian's side with all his strength.

"Gangmanu said you will practice extra every night?" McGrady asked.

Tang Tian nodded, he is now completely used to extra training at night, even if he doesn't do extra training, he will feel uncomfortable.

"That's just right, I need to recover now, and we will be together then."

This is McGrady, I asked Tang Tian to train together.

Tang Tian nodded with a smile, and glanced at Dior unconsciously.

Speaking of which, Dior was also a fat man when he first came here, and now Fat Mai also trains with him. He is destined to be fat.

Chapter 366 Do you want to learn dry pulling? (9/10, one person, one heart, one world, ten thousand rewards plus more!)

McGrady's current weight is indeed not enough to play in the NBA. Just like Dior, he needs to lose weight.

To Tang Tian's surprise, McGrady's training intensity was not much less than Dior's.

Obviously, after moving to many teams and leaving the NBA for a while, McGrady really wants to return to the NBA this time.

The Spurs game was still going on, and Tang Tian fully recovered the playing time he should have had.

Holt talked to Popovich, but this time Popovich's attitude was very tough, and if he interfered with his coaching so forcefully, he would quit directly.

If Popovich doesn't do it, that's okay.

Holt had no choice but to turn to Bufordsa in his pent-up anger.

Buford had a bitter expression on his face, he was working hard with all his heart, this is whoever provoked him!

Fast forward to March.

The Spurs' record has steadily improved, and they continue to consolidate their No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

McGrady has not been given a chance to play since joining the Spurs, but his body is constantly recovering.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has become more and more skilled in playing the role of James in training sessions, which is of great help to the Spurs.

At the end of the extra practice that night, Mai Di suddenly called out to Tang Tian.

"In your arsenal, there is no middle range?"

Maddie asked curiously.

After more than half a month of contact, he found that Tang Tian practiced a lot of things every day, but in terms of scoring, except for the three-pointer, it was a breakthrough, and the breakthrough was still very lame.

"Three-pointers are more efficient." Tang Tian casually found an excuse.

He would like to exchange for some mid-range, but the lethal ones are all purple or above.

"No, if you continue to play like this, you will be targeted next season at most." McGrady immediately denied Tang Tian's words.

"Do you want to learn dry pulling?"

Maybe it's because of Yao Ming's relationship that McGrady has a close feeling for Tang Tian, ​​or maybe it's because of Tang Tian's charisma during training, or maybe like Mutombo, he hopes that his unique skills will be passed on.

Anyway, no matter what the reason is, McGrady asked this question out of nowhere at this time.

Tang Tian nodded.

There is actually a big difference between a dry pull and a jump shot.

Otherwise, McGrady would not be the only few stars in the league who use this technology.

So even if you have the opportunity to exchange for McGrady in the future, like Tony Allen before, it will take a relatively long time to adapt, or you need to have some other matching conditions.

Now McGrady wants to teach him for free, he has no reason to refuse!

Seeing Tang Tian nodding his head, Mai Di became interested, pulled Tang Tian and sat aside to chat.

"The dry pull is different from the jump shot. It requires a lot of waist strength and arm strength, so before learning this technique, you have to practice these two parts..."

Maddie talked eloquently.

The pull-up is a type of jumper, but there are many other forms of jumpers besides the pull-up, such as emergency stop jumpers, fadeaway jumpers, turnaround jumpers, turnaround shots, throwing shots, etc.

Among them, the emergency stop jump shot is the simplest and the basis of all jump shots, while the dry pull is the most difficult of all jump shot types.

This is by no means an exaggeration, because of the suddenness and explosiveness of dry pulling, ordinary people would not be able to learn this technique, or it is only superficial.

Ordinary jumper, also known as base jumper.

As the name suggests, the ball holder stands on the spot with both feet, and after a slight adjustment, both feet take off at the same time, and make a spot shot in the air.

When the whole body reaches the highest point or is infinitely close to the highest point, the ball is dialed out in the form of a fixed-point shot, and then it lands steadily. Such a jumper is called a base jumper.

This shooting method is also the shooting method that most people are used to.

But the dry pull is different from the base jumper. He focuses on suddenness.

The quick and sudden jump caught defenders off guard, and by the time they reacted and tried to block the shot, the ball had already flown to the basket.

This is also the reason why McGrady's dry pull is rarely blocked when he looks at similar moves.

As McGrady said, in order to achieve this effect, he will need strong jumping ability, extremely fast take-off speed, terrifying explosive power and good waist and abdomen strength.

That's why he told Tang Tian in advance that he wanted to practice these parts.

In addition to the clean and elegant movements, another obvious sign of dry drawing is the scissors' feet.

"I didn't do it to be cool, it had to do that."

For the first time, Tang Tian heard about the origin of Scissor Kicks from Mai Di.

Because the dry pull jump shot saves the adjustment time, and the take-off feature is that the sudden force of one foot drives the other foot and the whole body to take off to shoot.

Therefore, when shooting, it will inevitably cause the whole body to be tense. At this time, scissor feet are needed to maintain the balance of the body.

"I'll teach you the simplest in-place dry pulling first."

When McGrady said this, he had already stood up.

Tang Tian also started to try while holding the ball.

After a few movements, he found that his waist was already sore and swollen, and it was difficult to fully grasp the balance of his body in the air.

This technique is useless!

It is said that McGrady is born with a spinal problem, but it seems that it is not only because of that aspect!

But Tang Tian is not in a hurry, if he can learn it so easily, then what's the use of the system?

Moreover, he had scanned the introduction of McGrady's skills in the system before, and there was also a bonus to waist strength.

"That's just an entry move. The hardest part about the dry pull is that you have to learn to learn both feet at the same time. The left foot can be a power foot or a pivot foot, and the right foot can be the same, so that your defender doesn't judge it. When did you take off?"

When McGrady said this, his face was quite smug.

Obviously, he is quite confident in his dry pulling technique.

However, it goes without saying that in the long history of the NBA, Tracy McGrady can be labeled as dry, and his skills in this area are indeed the best.

"Practice this one first. The dry drawing is not the only one I taught you. You stop the dry drawing suddenly, and jump directly to the dry drawing with a false step. If you really want to master this technique, it may take a long time." entire career."

Maddie finally said.

Tang Tian nodded.

There is nothing wrong with what McGrady said, even if the physical talent is not good enough, the whole career will not be normal.

But he has a system. In fact, the biggest function of this krypton gold system is to allow him to master it quickly.
