37. Grow Fast!
"...from today, except for eating, sleeping, and training, you can hold the ball in your hand, you can dribble, you can play with it in your hand, you can throw it against the wall, and the ball you try to throw will bounce back. In your own hands..."
Nash gave a very constructive training method to improve the ball feel. Sun Ce listened carefully and remembered it.
In China, if a person plays basketball all the time, he will be regarded as a plaything.
But people like this in the United States are not uncommon. There are really people who hold the ball 24 hours a day even when they sleep, just like the football geniuses in South America, Europe, and many countries in Asia that are good at football except China. If you fall in love with this sport, you will devote yourself to it.
For the two things of dribbling and ball feel, Nash can only teach Sun Ce a method of exercise. This is something that takes time to accumulate. It is not as technical as shooting and passing, but it is the basis of being an outside player. , it is really more difficult to practice than shooting and passing!
If there is a surprise shooting training, even if it is only for a week, as long as the shooting talent is not bad, there will be a visible improvement, but the dribbling and ball feel must be persistent.
Of course, there is also a "shortcut", which is to play basketball since childhood, and just have a natural sense of the ball when you grow up.
However, although Sun Ce has muscle memory in his body and his consciousness has played basketball for a long time, his foundation is far from that of guards of the same age in the fertile basketball soil of the United States. Like Dragic, his ability evaluation is only C+, but Ball possession, which has little impact on ability evaluation, is A+ level.
After giving Sun Ce a way to practice ball control, Nash began to teach Sun Ce the skills of layups.
"Noah, we are all the types who are not very good at jumping, and the speed of our bullets is average..."
Listening to Nash's words, Sun Ce really didn't want to admit it, but he had to say that it was true. At least now, after a month of fitness, he only weighed 78 kg, and he was really average in terms of explosive power and jumping.
According to Nash's analysis, Sun Ce hadn't even reached his peak speed because he wasn't strong enough.
But this also represents Sun Ce's plasticity!
"... We need more skills for layups. I suggest you use the same layup method as me, be ready to shoot at any time on the move, and expand the range of layups from the three-second zone to close range."
After finishing speaking, Nash demonstrated the kind of throwing on the move. This action is very similar to Dragic's action when he singled out Sun Ce in the training game.
While listening to the explanation, Sun Ce felt that Nash's basic skills were a blast. Among active guards, except for Kobe Bryant, it is difficult for anyone to compare with Nash!
A simple layup shows a lot of things.
Sun Ce watched from the side, imagining how to defend himself, and found that if he wanted to pounce on the block, he couldn't grasp the timing of reaching out and taking off!
Nash's layup looks like he will grab the ball and shoot it anytime, anywhere, but there is a feeling that as long as he defends Nash and doesn't pick up the ball, he will avoid the defense and shoot again.
The point is the feel of the ball! It feels like the ball and Nash are combined, like a part of Nash's body!
When Nash showed Sun Ce his layup skills from various angles and analyzed them at the same time, a system panel appeared on Sun Ce's side, which read:
"humble:
Learning object: Steve Nash.
Open the Steve Nash layup bag study.
Steve Nash rated S- for a layup, and the addition speed was 25%. "
Seeing this prompt, Sun Ce's eyes lit up!
There is no way to do it with a poor foundation, but Sun Ce can work hard! And he may be the best point guard in active service to teach him skills, and he learns faster than others!
Innately not as good as others, Sun Ce knew that he needed to work harder to have the chance to feel the passionate feeling he enjoyed during the curtain call.
...
On the school side, Sun Ce had already taken a long vacation before learning technology with Nash. The school supported Sun Ce to participate in the NBA draft. If he was selected, the University of Phoenix would have the first player in history to be selected by the NBA. Even if Sun Ce If he has never played a school team game, he will probably be retired by the University of Phoenix.
Training is a cyclical process. Every day I go home as tired as a dead dog, and I have to get up early in the morning for extra training in the morning.
It's not just the training plan that Nash and the trainer made for Sun Ce. Sun Ce knows that only by working harder and harder than everyone else can he have a chance to catch up with those opponents who have at least one year behind him.
Although tired, Sun Ce is very motivated every day.
He knows that he is lucky now. With the help of the system, coach Gentry, Yao Ming, and Nash, these are the beginning of his luck.
But whether you can continue this luck, you need to rely on your own efforts!
The improvement of the training content has made Sun Ce's training more and more effective. When Nash was there, he trained with Nash. After the training with Nash, if he can hold on, Sun Ce will go home to practice on the outdoor court.
After sleeping and recovering, he had breakfast, and then practiced the ball handling and layup methods taught by Nash. He even recorded Nash's layup movements with his mobile phone, and imitated them again and again...
One is willing to teach, and the other studies hard. The relationship between Sun Ce and Nash has also become better and better during training, and Nash has taken more and more care of Sun Ce.
However, there was one point in the process that made Sun Ce very depressed. He found that he could eat more and more, and he was like a rice bucket!
With the gradual strength training, the consumption of protein is even greater. Sun Ce can no longer focus on adjusting the body's nutritional intake as he did when he used the blood essence to strengthen the card before, and must eat a lot of high-protein food.
The daily nutrient consumption is abnormally large. Although it is related to his heavy training, it is also exaggerated after taking into account the training consumption. It is like a bucket of rice. This makes Sun Ce feel very strange... It feels like he is back to the 12-year-old. The feeling when the appetite suddenly increases...
...
Time passed day by day, and Sun Ce was also growing rapidly.
Although the process was very difficult, it took Sun Ce half a month to make a breakthrough layup. With the addition of the system, he learned the layup every day, and it took him half a month to complete it. In the first stage of training, I learned Nash's layup movements in a decent way.
The main thing is the details!
Nash taught Sun Ce the details of layup skills, how to deal with and how to react when dealing with various situations.
For three seconds on the court, Sun Ce understands the need to make a comeback off the court.
Just practice, imagine every situation that may arise, how you should deal with it, and then keep repeating that action until it becomes instinct, and you will react naturally when you encounter that situation in a game where opportunities are fleeting!
