Chapter 162: Passing improves, layup begins

The Warriors, who were going smoothly in the new season, continued their road trip. This time they came to Memphis and their opponent was the Grizzlies (the latest chapter of Tianguan Blessing). They sent away Sean Battier and Mike -

Miller, sent away Pau Gasolo, the Grizzlies have completely begun to rebuild. It can be seen from their starting lineup, there are three rookies among the five starters, which is really rare among NBA teams.

(Read the full text of Hua Dai).

Center Marc Gasol was selected by the Lakers in the second round last year, but did not officially join the NBA. After his brother was traded to the Lakers last season, Marc Gasol was sent to the Grizzlies as a trading chip until this season.

The Grizzlies recruited him into the team, and he officially came to the NBA. Power forward Darley Arthur is also a rookie this year, ranked 27th in the first round.

The small forward is Rudy Gay. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey sent Rudy Gay to the Grizzlies in order to get Sean Battier. This transaction was criticized by many people because now

Gay has become the absolute core of the Grizzlies. However, this is only his third season.

Shooting guard OJ Mayo, this year's No. 3 pick, became famous in high school and is considered to be another talented guard. As a young man, he needs to prove others' evaluations in the NBA. What restricts him will be his height and not-top-notch physical fitness.

Point guard Mike Conley, the No. 4 pick last season, is also young enough and is only 21 years old this year.

The completely rebuilt Grizzlies are very young, and such a lineup may have an excellent future, but from the perspective of the entire Warriors team, they are no threat to their three-game winning streak.

The entire Warriors team has such self-confidence, but self-confidence did not bring them victory. It was against such a team that the Warriors, who had won three consecutive victories, lost, and the defeat was so miserable and unbelievable.

75:95. Just looking at the score, some people may think that the Warriors won the game with a 20-point advantage. In fact, the Warriors suffered a disastrous defeat in Memphis, a 20-point defeat.

Compared to scoring over 100 points at every turn, the 75 points scored in the game were really pitifully low for the Warriors. However, if you look at the shooting percentages of several of the team's main players, you can tell how bad they played in this game.

Biedrins made 8 of 14 shots and scored 16 points and 22 rebounds. He was the only Warriors player to shoot over 50% from the field, and he was also the one who performed the most normally (whoever takes the bait).

Harrington made 2 of 16 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 4 points. Yang Shuai made 5 of 17 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 14 points. Jackson made 5 of 20 shots.

, made 1 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points. CJ-Watson made 3 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 7 points.

Use one word to describe the Warriors' shooting percentage: low!

Of course there are teams that can still win with such a low shooting percentage, such as the Celtics. This situation did not happen when Yang Shuai was with the Celtics last season. The entire Celtics team

When the players feel cold, they rely on strong defense to limit the opponent's scoring.

But that's the Celtics, what kind of team is the Warriors? Attack! In addition to offense, it's offense! When their offense can't work, the only result is defeat!

Throughout the game, the Grizzlies maintained very good defensive pressure, and the Warriors players were indeed out of shape. For example, Yang Shuai, whose advanced three-pointers were not used at all in this game, the Grizzlies were unable to defend his shooting.

The ball was very tight, and the improvement in attacking the basket in the last game did not have many opportunities to show off in this game. Unlike the Raptors, the Grizzlies pounced on Yang Shuai at all costs when they saw Yang Shuai coming, and then were fouled by Yang Shuai.

The Grizzlies' inside line chose to interfere after Yang Shuai broke into the penalty area, instead of having to block Yang Shuai's layup. However, this move was very effective. Yang Shuai's basic layup did not have much interference from the opponent.

As a result, he often failed to score layups.

The only thing that was normal was the mid-range shot, but Yang Shuai didn't get many mid-range shots in this game. The Grizzlies deliberately cut off the connection between Yang Shuai, Jackson and CJ Watson.

It becomes more and more difficult.

Yang Shuai's performance is just a microcosm of the Warriors players. Almost every Warriors player was in trouble in this game.

On the defensive end, the Warriors are not good at this kind of work. The Grizzlies players used their impact to smash the Warriors' defense to pieces. Yang Shuakong has defensive ability, but he can defend every one but cannot defend the second one.

Second, his supplementary defense and assisting defense often led to greater openings. In the end, the Warriors had to accept the result of a disastrous away defeat (the latest chapter of Mingqing).

After the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies, the Chinese media used the term "upset" to describe it, while in the United States, many media pointed out the Warriors' problems.

The lack of real offensive organizers, lack of impact, too much reliance on outside shooting, and lack of effective offensive methods and attackers when the game reaches a stalemate are the Warriors' fatal shortcomings.

These media outlets are not alone, even the Oakland Tribune's expert Monty Poole came out and pointed out that the Warriors need to make some changes.

It stands to reason that the Warriors just lost one game and would not be criticized by the outside world. After all, they have won three consecutive victories. However, the problems exposed by the Warriors in this game are too obvious. The media published this in the previous three games.

The point of view is just that it was not widely reported under the cover of victory.

These media also include Yahoo Sports. Mark Cowens also expressed some opinions on the current Warriors. He did not specifically target Yang Shuai, but of course he did not forget to use some when talking about Yang Shuai.

sarcastic words.

We lost a game, even though it was a bit ugly, even though it was a bit miserable, but a loss is a loss, and the Warriors players did not take this defeat too seriously.

Yang Shuai felt a little uncomfortable with the state of his teammates. After losing to the Grizzlies, he returned to the locker room and found that many of his teammates acted like nothing happened, especially the veteran players who were on the team last season.

It's almost unthinkable for the Celtics.

Last season with the Celtics, every time after losing a game, the players always looked dull in the locker room. Then after Rivers encouraged the team, the team instantly turned the recent defeat into motivation.

But here in the Warriors, Yang Shuai did not see such a situation. Thinking of reporters reporting last season that the Warriors' locker room was disorganized, Yang Shuai could only frown.

Back in Oakland, the Warriors have a day to rest, and their next opponent is the Nuggets.

After the team disbanded, he went to his newly bought house. Yang Shuai lay on the bed and pressed his fingers on the silver mark on his head three times. A white light flashed and the person appeared in the space (the latest chapter of Ruffian Soul Boy)

.

After nearly a month of training, Yang Shuai felt that it was time for him to challenge this round of levels. The task of this level was to pass the ball.

During this month, Yang Shuai has been practicing passing, including the control of passing force, the selection of passing position, passing during the process, lobs, hitting the ball, etc. The previous passing of Yang Shuai is elementary.

, if he can successfully challenge this level, he will reach the intermediate level. Because it is an intermediate level, these passing training does not include too many fancy movements, but focuses more on accuracy, and of course, vision training.

Different from the previous levels, the passing training requires the cooperation of teammates, so the challenge is a game between two teams. In the game, Yang Shuai does not need to score, his task is to control the ball, and then pass the ball after his teammates move.

Deliver it accurately to your teammates.

The statistics are not based on which team has the higher score in the end. After the virtual teammate receives the ball, the offense of this round ends automatically. The final statistics is who has the higher passing accuracy between Yang Shuai and the gatekeeper.

.

Yang Shuai has faced this kind of challenge many times, so he seems very familiar with it when he comes to the court. Dribbling the ball at the three-point line, Yang Shuai kept observing the running of his teammates. Of course, he also saw his teammates inside getting stuck, so be careful.

He was carefully calculating the movement of his teammates, and when he saw a figure flashing in front of him, Yang Shuai pushed hard with his dribbling right hand, and the ball hit the ground and bounced towards a figure cutting through the basket.

Yang Shuai's pass was still a little slow. His teammate wearing a white jersey did not receive the ball smoothly. The ball was intercepted by a defensive player wearing a black jersey who came later. Yang Shuai's first pass failed.

and ended.

The calculation of the space is very precise. In the ball just now, a teammate on the right side also ran out of space. However, the best offensive candidate at this time is the teammate who cuts to the basket. If Yang Shuai passes the ball to his teammate on the right, the final

Statistically speaking, the accuracy of this pass will be very low, because this is not only testing Yang Shuai's passing skills, but also testing his vision.

For the second ball, Yang Shuai accurately passed the ball to his teammate. Yang Shuai dribbled the ball and took advantage of the opportunity to throw the ball to his teammate who ran outside the three-point line. This ball was no matter the angle, position or strength.

They are all very good. If it is an actual game, teammates can directly attack without using any force after receiving the ball (the fifth type of person).

Twenty minutes later, Yang Shuai came up to Xiaoqiang with a smile. He had successfully passed this level. After hearing Xiaoqiang tell the task of the next level, Yang Shuai smiled even brighter because he was going to do the next level.

Guan's mission is clearly to lay up!

He has only played 4 games in the new season, but Yang Shuai has fully realized how bad his layups are, and also realized how necessary it is to improve his layups.

The Warriors are different from the Celtics in that no teammates can often create complete vacancies for him. Yang Shuai more often needs to run, catch and attack by himself, or even attack with the ball. Although Callens and Yang Shuai do not

Opponent, but Yang Shuai has to admit that some of the opponent's words are indeed on point. Without the ability to attack the basket, it is indeed difficult for Yang Shuai to average 20 points per game this season.

Against the Raptors, Yang Shuai could score by drawing fouls, but not with the Grizzlies. As the game progresses, when the opponent knows Yang Shuai's shortcomings, he will definitely be able to do the same. If Yang Shuai's layup ability

If he doesn't improve, he can really only rely on outside shooting. After all, not every time he rushes to the basket will end with a dunk.

But once he has a certain layup ability, it will be different. Defensive players will be afraid of him attacking the inside. In this way, Yang Shuai will have more opportunities to attack from the outside.

Like the previous levels, Yang Shuai has the opportunity to challenge the level, and he also has the opportunity to train. Before starting training, Xiaoqiang will teach Yang Shuai some layup skills, and then Yang Shuai needs to continue to train and train again.

How to find space for a layup under the pressure of one or more defensive players, how to control the strength of the wrist under fierce physical confrontation, how to find the position of the basket when the line of sight is blocked, these things cannot be taught by others.

Yes, it needs to be trained again and again.

Realizing the importance of layups, Yang Shuai did not get excited because his passing had just improved, but quickly devoted himself to the training of layups. He has become more and more urgent about improving his abilities.
