Chapter 113 The third gun in Xiangbei!

Just when Mitsui and others were shouting about going to eat, Budo and Miyagi Ryota were taking the trouble to practice shooting in the gym.

Although it was said to be a two-person training, in fact, only Budo was really involved in the training. Miyagi Ryota could only act as a "dealer" and kept passing the ball to Budo.

Miyagi Ryota originally wanted to practice shooting for a while with martial arts, but the high-intensity training during the day really consumed too much of his energy. Don’t think that shooting is just a matter of standing there and shooting. In fact, shooting also requires a lot of energy.

Physically, the further away from the basket, the greater the strength required.

Moreover, the standard shooting posture is a process that requires the whole body to exert force. For Miyagi, shooting training will place too much load on the body.

"How does this guy practice martial arts? Why is his physical strength so good?"

Compared to shooting by yourself, helping Budo pick up and pass the ball is much easier. Moreover, Budo's open shot shooting percentage is quite impressive. Miyagi barely needs to move. He can just wait for the basketball to come under the basket.

, only rarely does Budo's shooting deviate significantly from the path of the ball, requiring Miyagi to pick up the ball.

Every time this happens, Wu Dao will consciously stop and rest for a while. The large deviation of the ball path is mainly due to the fatigue caused by mechanical shooting and the loss of concentration. Adjustments are needed. Take advantage of Wu Dao to adjust and rest.

After a while, Miyagi's mind began to wander.

After joining Shohoku High School from Ryota Miyagi, there were only two and a half people he admired. One was Coach Anzai, whom he had always admired, and the other was Jinguji Martial Arts in front of him. As for the other half, it was Shohoku's captain Mitsui Hisashi.

The reason why I admire martial arts is very simple, it is because of ability.

"Ryota, it's okay, please continue passing the ball." Just when Miyagi Ryota was thinking about it, Budo's voice came. At this time, Budo stood on the 0-degree three-point line and waved to Miyagi Ryota.

.

"So fast? Why don't you take a rest? Although your physical fitness is very good, you should be very tired by now, right?"

Seeing that Budo was planning to continue practicing martial arts so quickly, Miyagi Ryota couldn't help but worry about his physical condition.

"No need, the body's fatigue is just right now. You need to let your body remember this feeling. Only by practicing shooting in this way can you score the ball while consuming a huge amount of physical energy."

Budo explained. Miyagi Ryota was thoughtful after hearing this and gave the ball to Budo's hands.

When I started with the basketball, I didn’t make any adjustments in my martial arts. I just raised the ball and shot it. The beautiful and standard jump shooting posture made the basketball’s release path quite stable. In the air, the basketball spun violently and its trajectory was very stable. In less than a second,

The basketball passed through the sky above the arena and accurately entered the basket.

"Martial Arts, tell me why my shots are always inaccurate?"

"I'm not afraid of making jokes. I also thought about improving my shooting skills before."

"But the training effect is very poor. My shooting level seems to have reached a ceiling and cannot be improved at all."

"My shooting accuracy when I'm open is average. If someone is guarding me, my shooting is very poor."

"You said, is it because of what you just said, because my body did not remember the shooting state when I was tired?"

At this time, there were only two people in the basketball hall, Jinguji Budo and Miyagi Ryota. After thinking for a long time, Miyagi finally decided to learn from martial arts and learn the shooting skills of martial arts.

Although Miyagi started playing basketball at an early age and was very good at breaking through and dribbling, he actually practiced these things by himself. Their basketball coaches in junior high school were of average quality and the guidance they could give was very basic.

Miyagi's shooting was also taught by that coach, but he didn't teach it well. After entering high school, Coach Anzai did not provide individual guidance on Miyagi's shooting. Although Miyagi wanted to improve his shooting level, he couldn't do it.

arrive.

"Shooting skills? Shooting is something that depends on each person. Although there is a so-called standard posture for shooting, this posture is not suitable for everyone."

"It's important to find a shooting position that suits you."

"Your shooting is not accurate, maybe it's because you don't practice enough, right?"

Budo scratched his head when he heard Miyagi's question. He didn't pay much attention to Miyagi's shooting. Whether it was a game or practice, Miyagi's mid-range shots were very few. Moreover, Budo was basically on the court at that time, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Miyagi.

of shooting.

At this time, hearing Miyagi's question, Budao answered naturally.

"Fool!"

"How could I not practice enough?"

"I have tried very hard to improve my shooting skills, but I have never been able to find a way."

When Miyagi heard what Budo said, he replied with some annoyance, picked up the basketball, and threw it towards Budo.

"Really? Don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention to your shooting before. You just stopped shooting after a few shots, so I didn't pay much attention."

"Why don't you shoot a few more balls? Let me show you, brother? Is there a big problem with your posture?"

"Although there is no so-called standard for shooting posture, if there is too much difference, there is always something wrong. The hit rate of crooked machine guns is generally not very good."

Seeing that Miyagi seemed a little angry, Budo quickly comforted him. After catching the basketball, he didn't shoot anymore and walked towards Miyagi.

"How is that possible? Although my posture is not as good-looking as you and Mitsui-senpai, it is still standard, okay?!"

When Budo stepped forward, Miyagi snatched the ball from Budo's arms, then slapped it and walked towards the free throw line casually. Just when Miyagi was about to shoot at the free throw line, Budo stopped the opponent.

"Wait a minute, don't shoot from the free throw line, go there." Budo pointed to the mid-range at 0 degrees, indicating to Miyagi to shoot there.

In terms of difficulty, shooting from a 0-degree angle is undoubtedly more difficult than shooting from the free throw line. It requires higher strength and shot trajectory. Letting Miyagi shoot from that position is also what Budo wants to see. When Miyagi Ryota deliberately controls the intensity,

What does the shooting posture look like?

"Okay." Miyagi said nothing nonsense, trotted and dribbled the ball to the designated position, then made a slight adjustment and shot directly.

Miyagi Ryota's shooting posture is pretty much the same. He lifts the ball and bends his knees fairly smoothly, and presses his wrists properly. However, the basketball doesn't spin strongly when it's in the air. The basketball hits the front edge, and Miyagi doesn't need to move.

, the basketball bounced directly into his hand.

"Damn it, your power is too small?"

Miyagi Ryota murmured, readjusted his posture after taking the ball, and threw the ball again. But this time, Miyagi's shot seemed to be stronger than before. The basketball didn't even touch the frame, and passed directly from the other side.

It fell sideways and was caught by Wu Dao.

"."

Miyagi Ryota, who missed three shots, kept his shooting posture and froze. After a long time, Miyagi seemed to be deflated, collapsed, sat on the ground, and sighed: "Look,

, this is what my shooting looks like.”

"If you ask me to shoot in front of the backboard, it's okay. I can still hit the board, but in this position, my shooting is like this."

"Precisely because of my poor shooting, I rarely shoot."

"Coach Anxi arranged the tactics today. I deliberately reduced my shooting and increased my layups and passes. In this way, I can more or less cover up my shortcomings."

Miyagi hammered the ground, seemingly annoyed by his own incompetence. In front of martial arts, Miyagi no longer concealed his emotions. At this time, Miyagi was completely different from the proud and confident man on the court.

"Miyagi, don't be like this, there is indeed something wrong with your shooting."

"In other words, it's not a problem and there is room for improvement."

"Although I don't know if it's correct, it should be pretty much the same."

Budao touched his chin, recalled Miyagi's two shots just now, and his posture when shooting, and said.

"I know you don't either. What did you say? Did you see the problem?!"

"Is there room for improvement?! What's the problem? Tell me!"

Miyagi Ryota was a little self-deprecating and was about to give up on shooting. When he heard Budo say this, he jumped up from the floor, ran to Budo, and said excitedly.

"Well, don't get excited. It's not necessarily right. Try changing it and see if it has any effect."

Budo took the basketball and handed it to Miyagi Ryota, then pointed at the basket and said:

"Do the shooting posture you just did."

After hearing what Budo said, Miyagi Ryota held the ball without knowing why, glanced at Budo, and raised the basketball. When the basketball was raised above his head, Budo shouted directly: "Okay, that's it!"

As he spoke, Budo put a hand on Miyagi Ryota's right arm, and pressed Miyagi's slightly open right arm inwards.

"Uh, martial arts, it's so weird!" Miyagi said aloud while maintaining his posture, his expression seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Don't open your right arm too wide when shooting, as it will affect the path of the ball."

"It's normal to have a slight twist."

While speaking, Budo looked at Miyagi Ryota's right hand holding the ball and continued: "The shooting hand shape can also be corrected. Normally, the middle finger of the right hand needs to be in the center of the basketball when shooting."

While Budo was speaking, he moved the basketball in Miyagi's hand so that the center line of the basketball was facing Miyagi's face. After he adjusted the angle of the basketball, it could be clearly observed that the center line of the basketball was not in line with Miyagi's face.

’s middle fingers overlap, and the center line of the basketball is right between Miyagi’s index finger and middle finger.

"Your shooting hand needs to be corrected. When you press your wrist to shoot, both your middle finger and index finger should exert force, and even the index finger should exert more force than the middle finger."

"This shooting hand pattern is actually wrong. Using two fingers to exert force will cause the basketball to receive forces in several directions, affecting its trajectory."

"Normally speaking, when shooting, the force is transmitted from the lower limbs, and the end point of the force output is because there is only the tip of the middle finger. When shooting, the fingers actually only provide the force of rotation. The force of throwing the ball actually comes from

Body."

"Follow this hand shape and try shooting again."

While Budo was speaking, he moved Miyagi's right hand so that his middle finger was facing the center line of the basketball. After adjusting Miyagi's hand shape, Budo pointed to the zero-degree position not far away, signaling Miyagi to continue shooting.

.

There are actually many problems with Miyagi Ryota's posture. If he hadn't specifically observed Miyagi Ryota's shooting posture, Budo would not have discovered it at all. Miyagi Ryota's shooting looks similar to the postures of Budo and Hisashi Mitsui, but in fact the core

The difference is still huge. These small gaps largely determine Miyagi's hit rate.

Budo estimated that Miyagi's shooting was probably something he learned by watching others play. He just looked at it, so he probably didn't have any guidance from a professional coach.

Many basketball enthusiasts will have problems with Miyagi Ryota's shooting hand. What these people have in common is that they have not received professional training or professional guidance, and they only "get it by looking at it" when shooting.

Therefore, on the field, there are not many people with beautiful shooting postures and accurate shooting. Many of the accurate shooting are uncles in their forties and fifties. Those people are accurate just because they have developed a comfort level due to years of playing ball.

Due to their shooting habits, these uncles often have non-standard hand shapes.

Thinking of Budo's suggestion just now, Miyagi Ryota returned to the previous shooting point, adjusted his posture, and threw the ball.

Miyagi Ryota was not used to the current shooting posture. After changing his hand shape, Miyagi could not control his strength at all. The basketball fell before it even touched the basket.

"."

"Martial arts seems unreliable!"

Miyagi was a little discouraged and said. Jinguji Budo took a step forward and casually took the ball into his arms, smiled at Miyagi, and said nonchalantly:

"Don't be discouraged. Changing your shooting posture doesn't happen overnight. Elementary school students still use push shots. If you ask them to change from push shots to jump shots, they won't be able to make the shot just like you."

"You have to get used to shooting like this."

"Another point is that when you press your wrist, you don't give the basketball enough spin."

"After shooting, you need to have your palms down. The palms down here are not as simple as giving you a finishing position. It is to make you realize whether the rotation force for the basketball is enough. If you have given it enough, after pressing

The palm of your hand must be pointing downward."

As Wu Dao spoke, he took the ball to the mid-range and made a jump shot.

Miyagi Ryota stared at the basketball thrown by Budo and noticed the difference between the ball he threw and the ball thrown by Budo.

"What a turn! Is this what you're talking about?"

The ball thrown by Budao spins very fast in the air, much faster than the ball thrown by him.

"Given enough spin, the arc of the basketball in the air becomes more stable."

"In fact, if you have played volleyball, you will know this. The floating ball on the volleyball is because there is no backspin, causing the volleyball's trajectory to fluctuate slightly and irregularly during high-speed movement."

"If you add enough spin to the ball, the trajectory of the basketball will be very positive. At the same time, you can use relatively little force to make the basketball fly farther."

"The range will increase."

Budo smiled and said to Miyagi Ryota. What he said are all advanced shooting concepts. Although there is not much content in what Budo said, it is not an easy thing to do.

Not to mention the high school students of this era, even many modern domestic CBA players do not understand shooting at all. If you observe the difference between the balls thrown by top shooters and those players, you can know the difference between the two.

gap.

Miyagi Ryota followed Budo's instructions and tried shooting. Although he couldn't control the intensity of the shot at all, the path of the ball often changed because of his unfamiliar posture.

But when shooting, there were several times when Miyagi was in good condition. The ball path of the basketball was very stable and he hit the basket accurately. Moreover, Miyagi could feel that after the hand shape changed, the sound of the basketball hitting the net was much louder than before when he shot.

It's much crisper when connected to the network.

Although it was twisted and inaccurate, Miyagi really felt different. He felt that the door that had been blocked in the past opened a gap at this moment, and light penetrated through the gap!

"How's it going?" Budo noticed the twisted expression on Miyagi's face and gradually became excited, and said with a smile.

"It works! But if you want to have excellent accuracy, I'm afraid you need a lot of training."

"But don't be afraid! Being able to move forward is the most important thing!"

"Thank you, Budo!" Miyagi Ryota said gratefully. After a missed shot, Miyagi ran over happily without even using Budo to pick up the ball.

"As long as it works." Budo smiled, standing under the basket and watching Miyagi shoot, his eyes curled into two half-moons.

"Xiangbei's third shot, if nothing unexpected happens, should be able to be displayed at this year's county competition!" Wu Dao thought silently in his heart.

In the basketball hall, Budo and Miyagi were practicing shooting. Unknowingly, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Suddenly, the door of the basketball stadium was opened.

Hisa Mitsui slipped two food boxes into the basketball gym. Behind Hisa Mitsui, Tokuo Horita and others stood at the door, peering at the scene in the gym.

"Whoa oh oh!"

"It's so high! That's Jinguji Martial Arts!"
