Super Lord of the Rings

Jeff Hornacek takes a basketball in slow motion, poses, and says, "I usually pay attention to these points when I shoot. Two feet wide enough, not close together, legs as far as possible, so that ... ..."

Everyone read it carefully, and some took notes.

Jeff explained earnestly: "Attention, the center of gravity should fall on the heels at this time, so that it will be stable when taking off, and the toes will jump up faster, but it is not easy to grasp the center of gravity, and the waist should be slightly bent while maintaining the strength of the upper body. Feel it yourself. Then the key point of the hand, keep the elbow straight, shoot with one hand, fingers as wide as possible. Then take off, look at the top of the basket."

"Don't you look at the basket?" Harris interjected.

"Look at the top, try to shoot with a high arc, and the three-point arc has a high arc, which makes it easier to hit." Jeff threw the ball with a high arc, and the ball went hollow into the net.

Gordon raised his hand and asked, "Sir, Kobe's shooting arc is not high, but his accuracy is not bad. Can that shooting method be imitated?"

Obviously, he's a Kobe fan.

Jeff replied: "This varies from person to person. Low arc is not bad. The premise is that players who choose low arc shots must have excellent jumping ability or be tall. Kobe took a lot of shots and his shooting rate was not stable. .I recommend getting into the habit of high arcs."

His implication is that if a player with low-arc shots jumps short, it may affect his shooting percentage, and his efficiency at the end of his career will be bleak.

Gordon was a little depressed, and asked: "Is Kobe not good?"

Jeff said embarrassingly: "Of course not. Kobe's shooting method can be said to be very good. The power flows from the bottom up, and the power is not scattered during the process. It is beautiful and beautiful. But that is not something everyone can do."

In fact, from a physical point of view, the straight up and down parabolic shooting has the largest area of ​​the frame, and relatively speaking, the highest hit rate, and the parabola of 60 degrees is twice as large as that of 30 degrees.

Harris raised his hand again and asked, "Whose shooting style in the NBA is the most suitable to be imitated?"

"Ray Allen, you can watch more of his games. If anyone can break Reggie Miller's record for total three-pointers in the future, I think it must be him."

This evaluation is too high, many people do not believe it. At the shooting guard position, Ray Allen lacks popularity.

Ray Allen is an underestimated player, with super physical fitness, the best bounce and explosive power among black players, super high basketball IQ, and incomparable shooting ability.

His efficiency is very high, beating Kobe and Iverson. But he hasn't received any personal honors, and he hasn't been in for a while. This is actually due to his personality. He is too selfless and too gentle, never pays attention to personal statistics, and has always pursued the principle of team supremacy.

He can score more than 20 points without saying a word, and he always has more than 20 points, and he will not shoot infinitely. If he doesn't score 50+ a few times, who would consider him a superstar?

Jeff takes another basketball and strikes the same pose as before. "Pull the ball with your fingertips when shooting, and grasp the strength of the shot. It takes a lot of practice to memorize. In addition, the shoulders are forward and kept relaxed. The ball and the arm should go straight up. Keep the shoulders at the same level and flow smoothly Complete the action quickly. How about it, isn't it difficult?"

Everyone is silent, isn't it difficult? Then why are they not allowed?

It is not easy to do all the details in a simple shooting action, and it has become an instinct for Hornacek. In fact, he doesn't deliberately consider these things when he makes a shot, but as long as he does this, the touch of the shot will naturally improve.

Then the players practiced individually, and Jeff took turns instructing.

After teaching the basics, he gave Wang Jun a small lesson alone.

Wang Jun has a great foundation, his wrist is flexible, and his shooting posture is no problem. He shoots quickly and moves smoothly. But his hit rate is not stable, always close.

Jeff couldn't see his problem either,

In the end, you can only ask for details. "Wang, I heard that you shot more than 90% of your three-pointers more than once, and once you were tired after working part-time. What were you thinking at that time? This may be the key to solving your shooting percentage problem."

What are you thinking? This question is really difficult to answer, what I think is "use props"!

Then I thought "only ten minutes, time must not be wasted". How do you tell others this?

Wang Jun thought about it for a while before thinking of his words. "I didn't think about anything special at the time. I just held my breath when I was shooting. I wanted to make a quick shot, shoot a few more balls in a short period of time, how many shots in a few minutes, and I wanted to test my limit. That's it."

Jeff suddenly realized, clapped his fist, and said with a smile: "I thought about it, I said a little less just now, the rhythm of shooting is also related to breathing. You find the rhythm of shooting when you hold your breath."

"Breathing?" Wang Jun is no stranger to this word, he practices breathing every night.

"Yes, you try to catch the ball while taking a deep breath, and hold your breath when you jump up. Remember, it is the wrist that is soft, not the whole body. It is easier to maintain upper body strength when you hold your breath, throw the ball, and after landing Breathing out that breath again, that sense of relief, often comes with goals."

As he spoke, Jeff took a basketball and said to Wang Jun, "Get ready."

Wang Jun nodded and immediately entered the state.

Jeff passed the ball over, Wang Jun held his breath before catching the ball, jumped up, shot, and the ball went in.

He only exhaled that breath when he landed, and he obviously felt that his upper limbs were more stable when he was holding his breath.

Jeff picked up the ball from the basket and passed it to Wang Jun. He shot in the same way. Wang Jun made nine shots in a row and only missed one.

Is it really because of the rhythm of this breath? It would be great if the order rate could be increased.

The more Wang Jun practiced, the more he worked hard, and his gratitude to the three members of the Hornacek family became stronger and stronger. They all helped him a lot.

I also listened to Jeff's guidance. When the training ended in the afternoon, the shooting percentage of the others did not change at all, basically relying on it.

Harris and Gordon are slightly better at shooting, but they are used to the shooting posture in the past, and it is difficult to change.

Only Wang Jun achieved all the points Hornacek said. His shooting posture is already standard, and now even the rhythm of his breathing has changed. Although the hit rate has not improved much, but it is smoother from receiving the ball to shooting.

Going home after training, Jeff said to David: "Dad, you and Abby are right. Wang Jun is a genius. As long as you arrange tactics for him and let him play his own advantages, he will be selected by the NBA team next year." It's entirely possible."

"Others, do you think there are any three-pointers?"

Jeff shook his head: "They are all too rigid in their minds. They are used to a shooting position and don't even have the courage to change it. In the NBA, there are people who change their left-handed shots to right-handed. It is a good thing to change bad habits in college, but they don't want to. Try it, I think apart from Wang Jun, only Kaman is more promising."

"You and Chris seem to hit it off, Jeff." David laughed.

"Don't you know the character of that guy? He almost nagged me to death." Jeff shuddered.

Change requires courage, but also understanding. All three members of the Hornacek family are optimistic about Wang Jun's understanding.

Jeff Hornacek went through major changes back then. When he first entered the NBA with the Suns, he played as a point guard. His three-point shooting percentages in the first three seasons were 27.9%, 29.3% and 33.3%. At the beginning, his main offensive method was to break through and score the ball, and he didn't shoot many three-pointers.

Later, he developed the style of running and catching the ball. Regardless of his height of only 193 cm, he changed to shooting guard and became a star step by step.

If he hadn't changed at the beginning and played point guard all his life, focusing on organization, it is estimated that not many people would know him by the end of his retirement, let alone the famous "dead light gun" in the NBA.
