The opening three-pointer in basketball

June in New York is very refreshing, neither too hot nor too cold.

Doing morning exercises in the morning is especially comfortable.

Irving got up early today, brought a basketball, and went to play on the public court next to the villa.

He jogged first, waited for his body to warm up, and then started playing basketball, mainly three-point training.

During practice, there were two white children next to me. They were children who lived nearby. Both of them liked basketball.

Even though his family is rich, he is still willing to come over and pick up the ball for Irving.

They're not doing it for the money, they're doing it to watch Irving play.

These two kids are both native New Yorkers, and they are both Knicks fans.

Irving's three-pointers are naturally very beautiful, and his shots are wonderful.

When no one is guarding him and he is training by himself, Irving can actually shoot at a very high shooting percentage.

Now if he throws a hundred, he will only lose three or four.

But on the field, that's not necessarily the case.

The main reason is that Irving's body is not dominant and he cannot shoot easily. If he wants to gain shooting space, he must shoot faster. He must complete the shot in a very short and very narrow space.

Reflected on the field, his shooting percentage, in addition to his own state, also has a great influence on the strength of the defensive players.

If the defensive player is tall and fast, it will be difficult for Irving.

Correspondingly, if the defensive player is slow and not tall, then Irving can play crazy and shoot three-pointers very well.

"Hey, are you learning from Bai?"

The child talking is called Louis, he is thirteen years old and about 1.7 meters tall.

Among his peers, he is considered a tall student.

He likes basketball.

He knows a lot about NBA players. In addition to Anthony and Stoudemire of the Knicks, he also knows Kobe, James, and O'Neal.

Of course, there is Bai Yi who is the most popular this season.

But he actually doesn't understand Irving, the rookie No. 1 pick.

Mainly because Irving is with the Cavaliers, there aren't many games broadcast live across the United States.

When he saw Irving practicing three-pointers, he thought Irving was imitating Bai Yi.

Owen rolled his eyes.

He has been able to shoot three-pointers since he was a child. Although he doesn't shoot a lot, it can't be said that he has learned in vain.

"No, I just play by myself."

Lewis blinked, "No wonder, I think there is a big gap between you and Bai."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Irving patted the basketball and felt unhappy, but he couldn't argue with a child.

I could only dribble hard and then throw the basketball away.

The basketball flew up, drew an arc, and then hit the basket hard.

"boom!"

The basketball bounced out.

Louis curled his lips. Although Irving was much better than the players in his school, he was far behind Bai Yi.

"You're too stiff to shoot three-pointers."

Irving was stunned. He is the number one pick in the NBA. Does he need a little kid to teach him?

"Boy, do you know three-pointers?"

"I may not be as accurate as you, but I know it very well. I've seen a lot of analysis. It's a three-pointer for nothing. It's so stretched that his legs and hands will be thrown out."

Bai Yi won the championship yesterday and became the new king of the league.

In the beautiful country, there are also many more fans.

Irving feels that these people are just performance fans and not worth mentioning.

But after hearing Lewis' words at this time, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Who said that?"

"O'Neal, Barkley, Kenny Smith, etc., they all said that Bai's three-pointers were very beautiful. They also believed that when Bai shot, the reason why he was so accurate was that his body was relaxed enough. When he shot the basketball, his body could completely stretch."

Owen nodded and said nothing.

Then he closed his eyes and recalled watching Bai Yi shoot a three-pointer.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Bai Yi lifting the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy.

As a rookie who entered the league with Bai Yi, he became the core of the Cavaliers even though he got a big contract.

Compared with previous top picks, he is not ashamed at all.

But compared to Bai Yi, he is far behind.

Bai Yi is like a standard, reminding fans and media all the time.

They will say that Irving is not worthy of the No. 1 pick at all, and Bai Yi is the No. 1 pick.

Compared with Bai Yi, Irving is a person who doesn't understand basketball.

Owen couldn't recall the details of Bai Yibiao's three-pointer in detail, so he could only shake his head irritably.

He then found a place to sit down.

It's still early and his trainer will be here soon.

His trainer cost him a total of two hundred thousand dollars, one hour a day.

To be honest it's not very expensive.

James' personal trainer reportedly earns $500,000 a month.

Kobe and Garnett also have their own personal trainers.

But they are all superstars with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Irving doesn't. He dares to say that no rookie in the league is willing to pay $200,000 for a personal trainer.

And he is doing it.

This trainer is a defensive master. Later he will disguise himself as an offensive player, attack in various ways, and then observe Irving's defense.

The reason why Owen had this idea.

The main thing is watching the finals and seeing Bai Yi's defense.

It can be said that in the fourth finals, it was not the offense that determined the outcome, but Bai Yi's outstanding steals and blocks.

Baiyi defeated the Heat with defense.

Owen was stunned at that time.

Also a rookie, Bai Yi not only attacks, but also defends impeccably.

In this regard, Irving is far behind.

When the TNT trio was live broadcasting, Barkley and O'Neal often reminded young players to practice defense.

But Owen has always been dismissive.

He feels that his energy should be focused on offense rather than wasted on defense.

Only then did he realize the role of defense.

He also wanted to improve, so he spent a lot of money to find a relevant trainer.

Soon after, the trainer came over and Irving began defensive training.

Louis and his friends stole the show nearby.

An hour and a half later, the trainer left.

Owen sat panting.

I have to say that defense is tiring and requires a lot of energy.

Irving predicts that if he concentrates on defense and offense, he will probably only be able to hold the ball for half a court, and then he will slump.

And Bai Yi can actually run and defend like crazy for the whole game.

There is a huge gap between Irving's physical ability and Bai Yi's.

Owen sighed, feeling a little depressed.

"Are you studying Bai?"

Lewis said something and then said: "Barkley has always said that young players should defend like Bai. Defense is becoming more and more important now. I watched people nearby practice, and everyone just practiced three-pointers and defense."

Bai Yi undoubtedly affects young fans all over the world.

Some say he is the three-point king, others say he is the steal king and a defensive genius.

Owen knew this, but he still couldn't help but roll his eyes. The gap between him and Bai Yi was even wider.
