NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 142: Harden shed tears of envy for his beloved disciple Ku Hao

Everyone is a top coach, and they can tell at a glance how awesome this move is, and the players below also think the same. It is indeed as Jiang Chao said, it is a killer move that can be used to kill!

Jiang Chao shot to the front frame, wouldn't it be easier for a marksman like Curry?

Ibaka also clamored to learn, but Clifford slapped him back:

"Okay, everyone is training!"

Jiang Chao also told the eager players behind him that these two teaching skills have certain requirements and require a certain shooting ability. Otherwise, the defender will not follow us and there will be no misleading effect.

He first teaches Curry, who is the most accurate on the team, and then lets Curry teach him slowly.

In fact, even if he knows how to do it, only a guard like Curry can do it, because this is what he is best at.

In particular, the first move is the crotch back-to-back move, which Curry often uses in games to turn 2 points into 3 points.

The second move, the lateral step, was not promoted by Curry, but players who used this move crazily appeared in the NCAA in 2018. Because of its coolness, it became popular in college leagues. In the NBA, everyone is afraid of being blown away.

Later, Curry used it...

Because Curry's back movement is one of the coolest in the league, his back movement and lateral movements are more consistent.

After teaching this ball, Curry came over to give Jiang Chao a high-five and listened to Teacher Jiang's teachings to improve his movements.

"The basketball court is a real battlefield. Without shooting, it is difficult to move forward. Once you have the ability to shoot, you can use this trick to overwhelm the defense and do whatever you want."

Jiang Chao modified Curry's kicking position and then taught him step by step:

"The first step is to make the opponent's center deflected by your dribbling. I just changed direction from behind. You can use it in front of your body or with your crotch. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. The final step is to make the defender move in the opposite direction.

Purpose."

Curry made three moves in a row, and the direction Jiang Chao followed was obviously the other side where he wanted to shoot.

After watching the final lateral move, Curry was basically self-taught and could do it by himself. Jiang Chao refined his landing action before the final shot.

You are not required to do a split jump like Tracy McGrady, but your steps should not be too narrow so that your two feet fight, but you should be almost shoulder-width apart to keep your body stable and shoot the basketball at your own comfortable rhythm.

As for how to shoot at a comfortable rhythm, it's not Jiang Chao's job to teach him. Cole will help Curry, and Curry himself will slowly improve.

When Curry was practicing with the ball, Jiang Chao continued:

“In addition to shooting, we can also use this trick to misdirect breakthroughs.

We may not be able to deceive the defense in the first step. In many cases, defenders can keep up with our movements, but their focus is forward, using their movement trends to break through.

There are two commonly used ways to break through. The first is to dribble forward to observe the defense, then push hard with the back foot to break through.

The second type is to protect the ball sideways against the defense first, and then use force to break through. If the opponent cannot control his center of gravity, he can even cause a foul.

Then Curry directly combined the two and did it again, and he is extremely talented.

"Yes, this is your third way of passing someone. The first change of direction is fake, and the second change of direction is also fake. The double change of direction is to pretend to break through and play with the defense."

Jiang Chao applauded from the bottom of his heart. That's it. This is Curry's way of breakthrough. He won't speed up in one step like Westbrook, nor will he change directions and rush in one step like Owen Rose. It's more about the rhythm. Live

It feels more comfortable to watch.

Moreover, he is a natural "liar". When making movements, he regards Jiang Chao as his teammate's rhythm. He looks in the opposite direction of the breakthrough and can switch his center of gravity when dribbling. It always feels like he is observing his teammates.

"Come on, the last step!"

This time, Cole did catch up with Curry's lateral movement after sparring, but Curry directly squeezed out the space and smoothly changed direction to rush inside, dribbling with his low hand and dunking with one hand without any extra movement.

"I still like to buckle, haha."

Jiang Chao smiled and went off the court to put on his coat. Curry ran all the way and handed Jiang Chao a bottle of Gatorade:

"Thank you boss!! Drink water!"

"Go and practice hard. Practice these two moves first."

"What do you mean, boss? You still have a trick!"

"Let's wait until you're done with these two tricks." Jiang Chao opened the bottle and took a sip, pretending to be mysterious, and then changed the subject smoothly:

"Well, actions are actions. Keep me on the court and shoot when there is space. I just watched the highlights of the past few games. I was a little too hesitant. I don't believe that if you can't make a shot in space, will anyone say anything to you?"

"If anyone scolds you for taking an open shot, come directly to me!"

The players who were close to each other shed tears of envy. They are all players, so why are they treated differently? Curry must be so happy.

Lao Lu next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud. This boss must be too partial to Curry. He is so supportive.

And Curry nodded sheepishly. The boss was so awesome, and he would be sorry if he didn't play it out.

However, Jiang Chao was indeed right. In the team's three-point training session, only Curry was far ahead with 94 of 100 shots. The second ranked Danny Green, who was not very accurate in the game, was ranked third with 89 of 100 shots.

Ku lost because of his physical strength. He scored 48 of 50 goals in the front, but he couldn't shoot as a center in the back...

So now the most accurate three-pointer in training for the Knicks is Curry. No one will say anything when he shoots a three-pointer in the game. As Jiang Chao said, it just needs to be open!

"Okay, boss, I'm going to practice your sideways moves!"

"Go ahead."

Jiang Chao nodded, and after chatting with Lao Lu for a while, he saw Harden also bringing a basketball over.

"What are you doing?"

"I've also encountered a rookie wall, boss, please give me some advice!" Harden was also itchy after seeing Curry practicing with gusto on the court. I was also selected by the boss, and I also want to train with the boss!

Then the next second.

"Rolling ball, yarn and rookie wall, go wherever you like."

Jiang Chao smiled and kicked him away. Harden has not had any difficulties recently and has more fans than Curry. This brat is just sour.

Harden was unrelenting, like a sticky candy:

"Tell me a little bit about what else I can improve on."

"You first study Kobe's moves thoroughly, and then I'll teach you a trick."

"Can't you teach now?"

"Now that I have taught you, you will only be able to use this trick. First, let me see you step up and down for layups 100 times on the court."

"Wow, this is a bit difficult!" The guard's up and down steps are Kobe's unique skills. He doesn't use them very much, but they are all cool low-post skills. Harden naturally knows it, but he has never done it so far.

It takes a very confident feeling to play.

"It's not difficult but you still want to learn the moves? Go ahead!"

"All right."

Harden left dejectedly and regretfully, and went to another venue to compete in disciplines. He couldn't wait to know what moves Jiang Chao wanted to teach him. Curry's two moves were so cool, but he didn't use them very much.

, because he relies on high-speed shots, unlike Curry who shoots quickly. He can single out three-point shots in a simpler way, so he rarely uses them after practicing.

Tyronn Lue taught him to use his body to take one step and shoot a three-pointer. It would be more physically demanding for him to just dribble.

"Jiang Chao, this is a place of right and wrong. Let's go to the office to talk."

Seeing that other players were looking over, Lao Lu left the training hall with Jiang Chao.

Before Jiang Chao left, he glanced deeply at Kuha, who was training seriously. Yes, this kind of competitive relationship was what he wanted to see.

Why not teach Harden his mastery of the pure step-back?

Very simple.

Now he has learned that it is really counterproductive. This kind of pace is just for laziness. You must know that Harden later used this move as a regular weapon. After that, the mid-range jumper with a high hit rate can hardly be shot, and all kinds of back-ups have disappeared.

Okay, when in doubt, take 3 steps back...

No one can guard against Harden's unstoppable killer move.

Not to mention whether the current referees will whistle, anyway, Harden will be the best in future generations. This is not a particularly high skill, and Jiang Chao doesn’t know how to teach it. Anyway, Harden is the best!

Now we still have to let Harden practice his basic skills well. If he really hits the rookie wall, he can just rely on this pace to open up the situation. If not, he still has the European step. His breakthrough and stepback 3-pointer are his three strengths. As for the final

An ax means "one minute of rain". Jiang Chao did not advise him to stay up late studying the league rules until necessary.

"There's no problem with the contract. By the way, do you like watching rhythmic gymnastics?"

"..."

…

1 day later.

The last home game of the preseason.

Jiang Chao appeared next to the beautifully dressed Daddario as promised.

Knicks vs Timberwolves, another old acquaintance from the draft is here.

Duhon, the former starting point guard who was traded away by the Knicks, will officially face off with Curry, the No. 6 pick acquired through his trade.

Duhong said harmoniously before the game:

"I want to see how the Knicks are doing now, and I will go all out to test their strength."

The media directly wrote this as "Curry!"

"This is our first meeting, Mr. Du Hong."

Curry, who has mastered his boss's secret 'special skills', is gearing up and took the initiative to shake hands with his close predecessor during the warm-up.
