Guard With a Knife

"Crossover is a very basic breakthrough action, which can be roughly divided into three genres. The first is normal crossover, which was initiated by Oscar Robinson in the 1960s, and has now become a must-have basic skill for players. There is another It's called a killer crossover... just like this, using the shaking of the body and head, cooperating with the dribble under the crotch, making a fake dribble to one side, and then according to the opponent's defensive tendency, quickly and fiercely complete the breakthrough to the other side .”

"There is also this, double crossover, which is a repeated, simple, and fast crotch dribble. It is not relying on this movement to break through, but to make the opponent stunned and lose balance for a moment! "

Steve Marbury walked up to Doug, and he said calmly: "I have watched your game, the crossover you often use is the first type, and a small amount of the third type. But you It’s not good. Because the normal crossover is the most concise movement, if you want to use it to quickly throw off the defense, you must have two key points. First, the movement speed must be fast, and the second movement range must be wide. This movement is very important. Players' speed and explosiveness are extremely demanding."

"Only truly talented players can maximize the simplest crossover, such as Kobe and Tracy McGrady when they were young. They often made large-scale changes in front of others, and they could almost destroy the defense in the blink of an eye."

Stephen Marbury continued: "As for the third type of double crossover, this kind of continuous, repeated, reversed change of direction and crotch dribble requires players to have a good sense of rhythm and balance. Can it be used to its full potential? To the extreme, it depends on the strength of your leg muscles, the adjustment and rapid change of the center of gravity of the body, and the flexible thinking. The most important thing is that your ball control skills must be excellent."

"Currently, you don't have the basic elements to master these two crossovers!"

Marbury paused and said: "So, what you need to study carefully is killer crossover. It does not rely on the speed and pace of normal crossover, and also abandons the complexity and long dribbling of double crossover. He is a kind of killer Instant confrontation like shooting a gun: The center of gravity, judgment and experience of both offensive and defensive ends confront each other in less than a second, and the winner is instantly determined."

Marbury's words instantly made Doug realize where the limitations of his breakthrough ability were like enlightenment.

"Come on, follow me to learn some basic feints."

Stephon Marbury called Doug aside: "When a lot of people break through, their eyes will overlap with the direction of travel. The tendency of the shoulders will also converge, but what you have to do is...to overcome this inertia, you have to In a very short period of time, the opponent has a judgment error, and then quickly kills his defense..."

Marbury's teaching is very serious.

Doug's learning speed is beyond Marbury's imagination.

When it comes to IQ, Doug is always superior.

Forty minutes later, the two sat on the sidelines.

Dug has always wanted to ask Marbury a question, but he hesitated to speak again and again.

Finally, it was Stephen Marbury himself who said: "I am not a bad person, nor am I a weirdo. You don't have to wonder why I will teach you breakthrough skills without reservation. In fact, these things use your IQ in the game. You can also figure it out slowly, but... I accelerated your learning process."

"Would you like to hear my story?"

Marbury suddenly turned his head, he is very eager to tell today. He was about to leave New York, the city where he grew up, became famous, and was reviled by the whole city.

"I was born in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. I became the king of streetball in New York at the age of twelve. When I walked into Abraham Lincoln High School, I was compared only to the Kenny Anderson and Mark Jackson, the seniors of NBA players. I was called the son of New York, I was a master in high school and college, and everyone knew that my future was in the NBA.”

"I should have been the No. 1 pick in 1996. Although Iverson, Camby, Kobe, Nash, Ray Allen...these first-class stars were among the rookies in that class, at that time...my voice was indeed the highest. However …Sixers GM Klose chose Allen for a stupid reason: He thought Allen was the more unselfish point guard!"

"When I entered the freezing Minnesota, Kevin Garnett, Gugliotta and I complemented each other and got along well. We were even called strong contenders for the championship back then! We were a young army with a bright future. …I’m still thinking to this day, if the Minnesota team didn’t give KG the super contract that broke all the players, I think…Minnesota may have at least won one or more championship rings!”

"Because of my salary, I was traded to the Nets. Everyone said I was a greedy person, but in fact, I was one of the players who donated the most in charity in the NBA. I donated $250,000 on 9/11, Carter I donated $2 million to the Lena storm incident. Even in 2007, when all the New York media accused me of being a devil, a lone wolf, and a selfish ghost, I still donated $1 million to the New York police, fire brigade, and teacher welfare organizations , I'm not a money-oriented person."

"But all the guilt was stacked against me. Like... New York is definitely not my fault. Isaiah Thomas is so casual in terms of trading, he's like a guy who just learned a new craft. The child, excitedly using his authority, gambled boldly, and traded talent and immediate combat power with US dollars. But in fact, he did not do well."

"Tomorrow I will sign my buyout contract, and I agree to give up two million dollars in my contract. Then, I will accept the veteran's basic salary of $1.12 million from the Boston Celtics. Tonight, I want to seriously Say goodbye to New York. And prove to Boston that I still have a fight!"

Stephen Marbury showed a smile, with obvious bitterness: "Looking back, KG is really a winner in life. He got two jaw-dropping super contracts in Minnesota. In 1998, he got an unprecedented six-year 126 million The U.S. dollar Big Mac contract, and then renewed the contract in advance for 5 years and 100 million in 2003. This directly triggered the NBA lockout that year and officially disintegrated the promising Minnesota youth army. Under the bundle of his huge contract, the Timberwolves basically There can no longer be any breakthroughs in trading."

"And when he left Minnesota in 2007, people were praising him as a loyal player, and he himself dared to say, 'Loyalty actually kills you sometimes'."

"He is the victor of public opinion. He has not only received a salary of more than 300 million US dollars, but also won a championship, and gained a good reputation. And I, a loser, will go to his team and become his assistant...or hold His thigh is going to win the championship veteran!"

"Oh!! This is life!"

The smile on Stephen Marbury's face was always maintained, but what Doug saw was full of sadness.

He didn't know how to comfort Marbury, but just said: "It's not even a quarter of your life, isn't it too early to draw conclusions so quickly?"

Marbury didn't speak, he walked onto the court.

After receiving the basketball from the caddy, he rushed straight into the penalty area. At 188, he completed a powerful one-handed dunk under the basket!

This made Doug's eyes narrow slightly: Marbury's physical functions have not completely degraded, and there is still oil in his fuel tank.
