Chapter 64 Oops, I forgot

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Knicks boarded the special plane.

After getting on the plane at ten o'clock, He Zhongqiu did not listen to music or chat like other players, but began to study tactics with Philip and Coach Hughesman who taught him tactics in the hospital last time.

Each tactic has many variations, and each variation has different tactical running positions. These must be remembered first so that you will know how to run during training and competitions.

Fortunately, he is a center, so his positioning is relatively simple and not as complicated as on the outside.

"You have received careful instruction from the coach. Your offensive tactics proficiency has increased by +500, and your offensive tactics level has been raised to level 49."

"You have received careful instruction from the coach. Your defensive tactics proficiency has increased by +500."

……

At 29: p.m. on the th, the special plane arrived in New York.

As soon as they got off the plane, the Knicks received the penalty decision announced by the league that morning.

The next game will be on the 30th at home against the Western Conference powerhouse Spurs. If the Knicks want to make the playoffs, they can lose away to Western Conference powerhouses, but they must try to win at home.

The Knicks' current record is 10 wins and 16 losses, with a winning rate of only 38.4%. The two teams behind them have won consecutively, and they have fallen to 12th place in the Eastern Conference.

Now the New York media and fans have a lot of complaints about the team. From general manager Layden to head coach Don Cheney, everyone has been criticized, and there are strong calls for Don Cheney to be fired.

He Zhongqiu, on the other hand, has gained a lot of popularity because of his violent beast-style dunks, three-point rebounds in five games, and the previous violent incident involving Conseco.

He was loved by many fans in New York, and the New York media was also happy to report news about him. For a time, he overshadowed New York's favorite mid-range shooting king Alan Houston.

At about the same time, the Spurs' special plane also arrived in New York.

There was no training in the afternoon, and He Zhongqiu did not practice extra. Instead, he called Philip to watch the game video of Dream at home.

Although his low-post footwork improved rapidly during this period, the level was still very low and unusable, which limited his offense under the basket.

There is not much time for training, and we mainly rely on competitions to gain some proficiency and improve ourselves.

He benefited from watching O'Neal's video last time. His low-post steps directly improved by 4 levels, his low-post back-to-the-basket skills improved by 2 levels, and his one-on-one skills under the basket also improved. He hopes to gain something from watching Dream's video this time.

The first time was on defense, with Dream defending David Robinson.

David Robinson took a step outside the left waist position, held the ball with both hands facing the basket, leaned forward significantly, and then suddenly started to break through. His first step was very big, and he broke through from the left side.

As a defender, Dream was on the passive side and his reaction was naturally slow. He only made a defensive reaction when David Robinson stepped to his right side.

He turned sideways and took a step towards the basket, while his chest pressed against the right side of Dameng.

David Robinson broke into the paint area, and his center of gravity was immediately squeezed by the resistance of Dream. Dream's right hand was still in the process of grabbing the ball, so he could only force the ball and jump to make a small lob shot, but the shot missed under Dream's block. Dream grabbed the rebound and completed a successful defense.

"Wellington, replay."

Seeing that he had not gained much the first time, he immediately spoke in English.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, let's watch it in slow motion?" Philip suggested.

"OK."

Next, he watched the replay more than a dozen times.

"David Robinson's first step facing the basket is very fast and his stride is very long, which makes it easier for him to break through the defender. He is much better than me."

"My speed is not slower than his, and my explosive power should be stronger than his. I should be able to practice my first step to be faster than his. If I want to improve my face-to-basket skills, I must practice my first step in the future."

"He has a very good combination of man and ball, and it's not easy for him to lose the ball. If I do this, I'm afraid there's a 70% chance of losing the ball, so I need to strengthen the basic training of dribbling and the combination of man and ball as soon as possible."

"Dream's defense is really good. He moves sideways very timely and uses his footwork very well. I want to learn how to use his footwork."

"He's also good at confrontation, there's no suspicion of fouling, and he can play a defensive role. My confrontation ability should be better than his, but my confrontation technique is not as good as his. I should learn from his experience."

"And his blocking, his hands may not be as accurate as mine, but he chose the right time to jump up, he didn't jump up rashly to block the shot, but jumped right after David Robinson jumped up."

By watching the video, he immediately received a series of rewards.

At the same time, the system also digitized his experience with proficiency rewards, so that he can intuitively see his technical gains.

Not only did he benefit from Dream's defense, but he also benefited a lot from David Robinson's face-to-basket offense.

The second video shows Dream attacking and O'Neal defending.

This attack made him see what a dream step is, and the rather slender Shaquille O'Neal was directly knocked down.

"WC, he directly knocked down a super center of the same level. This step is too cool! Wellington, replay it quickly." He said anxiously. Philip said calmly: "Zhongqiu, in fact, Dream's dream step is not that magical, it is just the basic step application of the inside players, but Dream's physical fitness is very good, so it looks very magical.

Your compatriot Yao Min's steps are also good. Isn't his step known as the Shanghai Dance Step? But he doesn't have the physical fitness of Da Meng, so his steps can't achieve the powerful effect of Da Meng. "

He Zhongqiu was stunned, thought about it carefully, and watched the replay several times, and felt that what Philip said made sense.

Da Meng's steps are to sway left and right constantly. In this process, he must have strong balance, agility, and flexibility, otherwise he will lose his balance without shaking his opponent.

"It seems that I need to strengthen the basic training of low-post movement." He thought to himself.

"You have a new understanding of the use of low-post steps. Proficiency +15000, low-post steps are upgraded to level 55."

At this time, he received a large amount of proficiency rewards.

Philip added: "But you can learn from Dream's game videos and learn from his experience to improve your own abilities faster."

"of course."

He nodded and continued watching the video for nearly three hours, finishing at half past five.

"Single defense proficiency +1750, cumulative proficiency reaches 3000, level increased to level 66."

"Assistance defense proficiency +1250, cumulative proficiency reaches 3000, level increased to level 41."

"You have gained a new understanding of assisting defense. Your proficiency has increased by +9000 and your level has increased to 44."

"Defense proficiency +1200, cumulative proficiency reaches 3000, level increased to level 31."

"You have gained a new understanding of defensive support. Your proficiency has increased by +12000 and your level has increased to level 35."

"Low-position footwork proficiency +200, cumulative proficiency reaches 3000, level raised to level 56."

"Congratulations to the host. Thanks to the improvement of various skills under the basket and low-post footwork, the singles under the basket has been upgraded to level 86, and the offense under the basket has been upgraded from level 81 to level 82."

The panel is full of proficiency reward prompts. I ignored them before, but now I check them one by one and realize that the rewards are really not small.

Hakeem is the best defender among the four super centers, so his main gain, in addition to low-post footwork, is defense.

Philip said, "Zhongqiu, don't worry. You've only been in the NBA for half a month, and you've been in the hospital for a few days. You haven't had time to train yet. With your learning ability and comprehension, your strength will definitely improve after one or two seasons."

"Of course."

He Zhongqiu said confidently.

After finishing the dinner prepared by Mary, he continued to watch the video, truly racing against time.

Philip made a pot of coffee and came over to watch with him.

This time he watched Duncan's video. They will play against the Spurs tomorrow, and he will definitely play against Duncan because David Robinson is old and Duncan plays more of the center position in the Spurs.

Duncan will also be the first star he faces off against, and a superstar inside player.

I watched until 10 o'clock in the evening, nearly four hours in total, and gained a lot of proficiency in skills such as offense and defense.

But the most important thing is the bank shot, which has not been upgraded since it was upgraded to level 62 a few days ago. After watching these four hours of video, he has gained a lot of experience in low-post back-to-the-basket techniques and bank shots.

The biggest lesson I learned is that the reason why Duncan's bank shots are so powerful is that they are combined with his top-notch back-to-the-basket skills.

From catching the ball with his back to the basket to completing the shot off the rebound, it is a combination of two techniques. It is really fast and simple, without any unnecessary movements.

He integrated the playing style of Locust Stone, and his rebound shooting increased by 30 levels at one time, but what he integrated was the rebound, which is the finishing move, and his low-post back-to-the-basket technique remained unchanged.

Therefore, in order to make the most of bank shots, you must improve your low-post offensive skills, whether it is back-to-the-basket or facing the basket. Only by combining offensive techniques with shooting techniques can you be effective.

"If I pair Duncan's low-post offensive skills with my bank shot, the offensive power will definitely reach the top level, even surpassing Duncan's low-post offensive level."

This was the biggest experience he gained, and it gave him a direction on how to practice low-post offense in the future. He not only needed to practice rebounding shots, but also offensive techniques.

With this idea in mind, the system rewarded him with 6500 proficiency points at one time, plus the 2100 proficiency points that were previously awarded intermittently, and the several hundred points accumulated before, his bank shot was directly upgraded from level 62 to level 65.

This is already a professional third-rate level. If he wants to improve so easily at this level, unless Duncan teaches him personally, he can only rely on training and competition to improve.

"oops……"

Before going to bed, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.
