One Guard

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! What does Los Angeles look like at four o'clock in the morning? If you ask someone this question, Kobe might be the first thing they think of. But if you ask Yiyang this question now, Yiyang's first reaction will only be one word - tired!

After running for an hour on the rubber track in the training community, Yiyang finally stopped, put his hands on his knees and breathed heavily. Beside him, the young Brickley was checking Yiyang's physical signs. Seeing that everything was normal with the data, the young trainer smiled with relief.

"You're already much better than when you first came here, too."

On the fifth day of the training camp, this is the fourth time Yiyang got up to run in the early morning before the sun showed his face. Originally thought that Brickley's shooting training was pure shooting training, but in fact, Brooklyn did much more than that.

Comprehensive, which is why Brickley is so popular. If a player's breakthrough ability is weak, Brickley considers not only the player's breakthrough skills, but also whether the player's physical fitness hinders the breakthrough. If a player has weak footwork around the rim, Brickley wonders if the guy's coordination needs to be improved. So when Yiyang wanted to improve his three-point shooting ability, what Brickley thought of was a lower body that could stabilize the lower body and a sufficient physical fitness that could make Yiyang's three-point shooting rate more stable !

Skills are just one aspect of doing a good technical action. But a technical action on a basketball court is actually composed of many elements. This is where Brickley is so powerful. He not only trains the surface, but also can dig out some deeper things, so as to complete the transformation of a player.

"Three-pointers are an offensive method that tests a player's physical strength. Don't think that standing still and shooting is easy. Under NBA-level confrontation, if you want to become a stable three-point output point, the physical energy you need may not be consumed. It consumes no less than your breakthrough." Seeing that Yiyang was still resting, Brickley chatted with him without saying a word.

For Brickley's remarks, Yiyang agrees very much in his heart. In yesterday afternoon's shooting training class, Yiyang shot a spot-up three-pointer all afternoon. Shooting is the most basic technical movement in basketball, and it seems to be very simple, but after the training last night, Yiyang was so tired that he almost couldn't get up. And to torture it like this is just shooting! Yiyang's three-point shooting percentage also continued to decline due to the decline in physical fitness in the second half. So physical fitness is also one of the training content arranged by Brickley for Yiyang.

"I've rested Chris, let's start the next step!" Yiyang wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, then stood up with his hands on his knees, ready to face more difficult challenges.

"Next, let's start eating breakfast!" Not only for training, Brickley also has very strict dietary requirements for players, even more demanding than NBA teams for players. I believe that under his training, Yiyang will improve not only in three-pointers.

Although Brickley's training camp is expensive, it costs $80,000 a week. But for all, the money is well worth the money. At least the $80,000 is more meaningful than spending it on clothes and luxury goods.

When Yiyang and Brickley walked into the restaurant, the other players who had come to practice had just woken up and came down to eat. Seeing Yiyang's tired face, everyone made fun of him.

"Early in the morning, did you go out to 'exercise' with Chris again?" Carmelo Anthony was the first to speak. As the most expensive star in this training camp, Anthony also talked the most among this group of people. This guy loves to joke around with people, even if they have different skin colors.

"Give him some strength, Chris, or he will lose to me in the singles match this afternoon!" Brandon Jennings spoke after that. Every afternoon, Brickley would let Yiyang and Jennings fight one-on-one,

But there is a requirement for both of them, that is, they can only use shooting to solve the problem.

Unfortunately, Yiyang lost in the first three duels. Although Yiyang's performance last season was much better than Jennings', but in the bullring, all experience will be invalidated. Brickley arranged this matchup not for fun, but to exercise their shooting ability under high-pressure single defense. Only by competing with each other can we make rapid progress with each other.

Yiyang did not respond to Jennings' provocation. Because he knew that the other party was not really provoking him, but just joking. As for the American way of joking, Yiyang has long been used to it because of Terry's existence.

"Also, are you still with me in the passing training this afternoon?" The last one to speak was the Canadian living legend Steve Nash. Take the initiative to provide guidance to Yiyang.

Is it true for all veteran point guards? I hope my skills can be passed down in the NBA. Nash is like this, and so is Kidd.

"Of course, I still want to learn more from you." Yiyang with toast in his mouth hastily agreed, he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to learn from the seniors.

.Smith and Griffin, they talk very little with Yiyang, and almost never take the initiative to communicate with each other. Yiyang is indeed loved by many people in the league, but not everyone likes this super rookie.

Afterwards, all training proceeded step by step. The players arranged training according to Brickley's plan, and Brickley stayed beside the players to guide them carefully, even though he himself was already sweating profusely.

Brickley is indeed very willing to spend time in training, not only when he is working during the day, but when he goes home at night, this young trainer will also study the players' game videos over and over again, in order to infer the player's current situation. the existing problems.

In the past few days, Brickley has watched Yiyang's videos a lot. Through the video, the trainer also discovered many problems in Yiyang. In fact, with the guidance of Peja and others, Yiyang's shooting movements are already perfect. The reason why he is still unstable in three-pointers is because of these auxiliary things other than the technical action of shooting.

All morning, Yiyang only did one thing, and that was fixed-point shooting. After a mid-day break, training resumes. Brickley brings Yiyang and Jennings together again, and the two are about to start a new round of heads-up!

"Today's rules are still the same as before. You can only score by shooting. A goal inside the three-point line counts for one point, and a goal outside the three-point line counts for two points. Whoever gets 21 points first is the winner. And the one who loses , I will also participate in the morning jog tomorrow morning!"

"I don't want to accompany you to feel the air at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, too. Today, I will win!" Jennings showed no sign of weakness. This boy who went to the high school league in high school will never know what it means bow your head. Even if it is a training match, he will give 120% of his energy!

Seeing that the two were about to start a bullfight again, other people gathered around to watch the excitement. Immediately, there was only half of the space left for Yiyang and Jennings. Jennings smiled, and passed the basketball to Yiyang. "The loser kicks off first!"

On the first ball in the game, Yiyang's emergency stop jump shot was stopped by Jennings' strict interference. Although Yiyang made a successful shot, the basketball missed.

For Jennings to attack, this defender who looks as thin as Yiyang is actually very good at using his body. During the breakthrough, he deliberately leaned against Yiyang, giving himself half a step of space, and then took the opportunity to make a jump shot.

This guy who went to play professional basketball right after graduating from high school may not have as much potential as Yiyang, but his advantage in experience is also obvious.

For the second ball, Yiyang passed Jennings with a series of beautiful dribble moves and easily layup. But Yiyang still didn't score a point, because any goal that didn't rely on shooting was considered invalid under Brickley's rules.

Yiyang still relies too much on his own breakthroughs. Often when attacking, Yiyang likes to break through and pass the ball the most. Now Brickley puts Yiyang one-on-one, cutting off Yiyang's passing options. He was not allowed to shoot, which stifled Yiyang's option to break through. He did this to force Yiyang to shoot! Can a person who has no desire to shoot a three-pointer shoot a good three-pointer? Anyway, Brickley didn't think anyone could do it! Every plan and arrangement Brickley made had his purpose! He just wants to force Yiyang to shoot and shoot three-pointers in actual combat. If Yiyang doesn't even have the desire to make a move, how can he make progress?

Relaxed, experienced and good at going it alone, Jennings turned the score 18-10 without much effort. In a 21-point bullfight, this advantage can be said to be huge. Jennings is almost sure of winning, and Yiyang is only three goals away from his fourth defeat to Jennings.

Three goals...three points? Thinking of this, Yiyang looked at the three-point line. To win the game, shooting three-pointers seems to be his only choice!

After the score was tied at 18-10, it was Yiyang who attacked. As soon as Yiyang held the ball, Jennings took a few steps back. This guy knows that the most effective way to defend Yiyang is to guard against his breakthrough.

Yiyang followed his plan and took the ball and stabbed towards Jennings' left hand side. But as soon as he started to speed up, Yiyang suddenly took a step back and jumped back outside the three-point line.

Jennings obviously didn't expect Yiyang to retreat suddenly, he didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity and rushed forward, Yiyang had already shot quickly.

Seeing this scene, Brickley secretly clenched his fists.

"Shua!" The basketball hit the net, and Jennings looked at Yiyang in surprise, and then looked back at the fluttering net.

"Strike!" Anthony cheered loudly and clapped his hands, breaking the silence in the stadium.

"You're lucky, boy." Jennings smiled disapprovingly, luck, Yiyang just scored the goal just because of luck. This brat has only been training three-pointers for less than a week, how could he improve so fast.

However, less than a minute after Jennings comforted himself, Yiyang scored another three-pointer.

This time, after receiving a pass from Jennings, Yiyang made a shot directly one step beyond the three-point line. Although it was a bit far from the three-point line, but fortunately, Yiyang was not disturbed. According to Professor Brickley's method, Yiyang stabilized his lower body, and then exerted force with his upper body to accurately throw the ball into the frame.

18 to 14, Yiyang hit two consecutive three-pointers, making him close to the score!

"Brandon, you can catch up!" Anthony, who was watching the excitement, fanned the flames from the sidelines, and Brickley also picked up his mobile phone, and quietly recorded the video of Yiyang and Jennings going head-to-head.

After the next ball, Yiyang used his excellent defense to force Jennings, who was eager for success, to make a shot, and the ball returned to Yiyang.

Yiyang repeated his old trick, taking a step back and jumping back beyond the three-point line. But when Jennings was rushing forward with all his strength, Yiyang changed direction and passed Jennings lightly.

Yiyang's fake act of retreating and praying to Buddha made Jennings fall into the trap!

After throwing Jennings away completely, Yiyang made a quick stop and made a steady jump shot at the mid-range position. 18 to 15, Jennings felt the pressure for the first time in four days!

Later, Yiyang made another three-pointer from outside the three-point line with a floating shot. In Brickley's opinion, this goal is indeed a bit of luck, but luck also needs strength to support it.

Feeling hot, Yiyang didn't stop his footsteps. A beautiful behind-the-back change of hands gave Yiyang a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

At this time, Jennings was already full of panic. He tried his best to block it, but he still heard the crisp sound of the basketball rolling up the net.

18 to 19, Yiyang completed the overtake!

For the last goal, Jennings pressed Yiyang closely, and Yiyang was forced into the left corner, unable to continue to break through. So, the Chinese defender in training uniform straightened up and fell back. He stabilized his center of gravity and tried his best to maintain his composure and the integrity of his shooting movements under strict interference.

The basketball flew over Jennings' palm and flew towards the basket. After landing, Yiyang fell because of an unstable center of gravity. It seemed that his offensive climax would come to an end. However......

"brush!"

After hearing the sound, Jennings looked back in surprise, only seeing the fluttering net and the basketball bouncing up and down on the wooden floor. Today, Yiyang won!

"God, Miller moment!"

"Hahaha, tomorrow you have to feel the air in Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, Brandon!"

"You voted beautifully. If today is an official competition, you will be famous!"

The onlookers made a fuss, and Anthony also took the initiative to pull up Yiyang who had fallen to the ground.

As for Brickley, the young trainer hit the button on his phone to stop the video before uploading the video to his social media.

Yiyang's progress is really beyond expectation! This guy's strongest talent is not his speed or his super high basketball IQ, but his ability to learn like a copier! Looking at this guy's performance in actual combat, do you dare to say that he is a guard who can't shoot three-pointers?

Brickley smiled, it's time for the whole world to be shocked with him!
