Chapter 32: Foshan Shadowless Hand?
Curry was also slowly trained by the Warriors back then. So can this Chinese boy with accurate shooting be trained to become a Spurs' sharp shot?
You know, the Spurs also have the world's best shooting coach Chip England.
Originally, I thought this trial was just a formality and the coaching staff was completely interested. The Spurs averaged 22.1% of three-point shooting percentage of the game recently. All teams defended the Spurs and chose to shrink the inside. They have now started YY If there is such a stable shooter on the outside, can they directly change the opponent's defense?
Being able to change opponents’ defense is a valuable NBA player standard!
It's so terrifying! Although Jiang Yuntao only shot 20 goals, those who have played the ball know that he can make a few shots without warm-up, dribbling, or touch, which means that his understanding of shooting is superb.
"Projection basis: S level." Popovich is realistic and has gone from being indifferent at the beginning to now wanting to discover more potential in this Chinese player.
As for forced shooting in the confrontation, forced shooting, and combined with the ability to shoot, there is no need to continue testing. With this super foundation, are you afraid that you can't practice it? Moreover, the Spurs don't need him to play singles.
Jiang Yuntao slapped everyone in the face expressionlessly, and now he felt a little faint, afraid that Popovich would let him fight against a mid-range shot, so he would not have guaranteed it.
"The next test of personal defensive ability is also the last test." Although Popovich didn't pay much attention to Jiang Yuntao's appearance, he even told him not to try out at the beginning, but he knew very well that Jiang Yuntao should play a role after joining the team, defensive shooting, which is the Spurs' most lacking three-point defense point now, so the trial content is also based on these two events.
"I like this!!!" Jiang Yuntao's eyes lit up. Defense, this is something he is good at! And it is one-on-one, which gives him room to play.
"Manu, I think you are very idle. If you come and fight this rookie for 5 rounds, you only need to make 4, then his defense will be unqualified." Popovich pointed directly at the bald brother who was squatting on the ground to watch the show.
"What? Me?" Manu was a little surprised when he was suddenly picked, but he stood up quickly. He liked such a competitive one-on-one challenge the most.
This is a test specifically for Jiang Yuntao's defense. Jiang Yuntao has no offensive opportunity, Manu attacks 5 times, and Jiang Yuntao needs to defend twice.
As an NBA player, they basically exploded each other at 1V1. Who has no offensive skills? The inside line beats you and defends you, and no one can defend anyone steadily.
"Haha, Manu is the most versatile outside player, and he will probably keep this Chinese guy from having a shorts." Mills subconsciously did not believe that China would make such a strong defender. After Australia joined the Asian Basketball League, the back line has always been the strongest in Asia. I have never heard of China having such a number of sharpshooters.
Parker also shook his head: "Bobo chose Manu. Manu's attack was a kaleidoscope, and he couldn't defend it."
Guy: "Sit down and watch the abuse."
The bigger reason why Popovich chose Manu is: he will not let the water go.
"Meet again." Jiang Yuntao relaxed a lot this time and took the lead in saying hello when Manu stood in the venue.
"Well, if you want to be my teammate, it seems that you have to pass my level." Ginobili shrugged. He is known as the Argentine Demon Sword. He has a snake-shaped breakthrough with one hand and is basically no one can defend against it when he is 1V1, let alone Jiang Yuntao, who is not as good as his arm span.
"Use all my strength, I'll continue." Jiang Yuntao's capillaries were ignited, whether the dream could come true!
Aldridge and others stopped training and watched the Chinese boy who was trying alone on the sidelines. If this level is passed, he will be their teammate. In addition, they really want such a sharpshooter in their subconscious, so they naturally hope that he can be stronger.
In the first ball, Manu broke through directly, steadily covering Jiang Yuntao with his broad shoulders, and made a layup with a high-speed kick.
He chose the offensive method he was best at, and did not give Jiang Yuntao a chance to shoot three points.
"This is Manu... bullying the rookie..." Parker touched his nose. Even if he was defending this move, he was stably hit by Manu.
Jiang Yuntao was a little confused. He was careless just now. Facing an NBA player, even if he was 38 years old, he was careless.?
This ball is so weird. Manu's body is as soft as chewing gum, but the layup is harder!
He just took it for granted that Manu was going to look for rhythm like a street bullfight, but he didn't expect that he would pull away from the three-point line and directly hung Jiang Yuntao to the inside to make a layup. Jiang Yuntao felt like a black ball in front of him.
This ball made Jiang Yuntao's attention completely and his focus was lowered.
In the second goal, Manu originally wanted to use the same trick again, but Jiang Yuntao maintained his position very well, so he needed to use dribble to find a breakthrough space. When Manugao was preparing to change direction in front of the body and find an opportunity, something incredible happened.
Jiang Yuntao, who had no intention of stealing, suddenly rushed forward and reached out. Just the moment when Manu could not control the ball, he cut the ball out of the field.
"The steal king is here." RC Buford's eyes emitted a golden light, and the steal king in front of him was finally revealed.
"Don't be careless, play seriously." Gasol smiled. In his opinion, Manu had exposed the ball too much.
However, Manu himself knew that the steal just now was not a hard steal like Leonard who took the ball out of your arms, but was cut away all at once without expectation, and there was no feeling of being cut in his hand. The tackle rhythm was very strong!
In the next 1 goal, Jiang Yuntao directly guarded Manu until he doubted his life! A crazy steal package from socialism!
He started dribbling the ball quickly under his crotch. Jiang Yuntao did not take the risk of stealing, because he knew that Manu was best at snake-shaped breakthrough, so he grabbed you to steal it. He guessed correctly. Manu really chose a snake-shaped breakthrough. It seemed that he broke through with the ball in his right hand, and suddenly a dribble behind the back came back, but his pull back was not in place. His dribble behind the back was moving forward, and he suddenly reached the free throw line.
However.
The ball is gone!
The moment he dribbled the ball behind him, Jiang Yuntao's whole body pressed against Manu, and his movements seemed to be trying to kiss Manu forcibly, but in fact he destroyed the dribble with his arm length.
However, this time the interception was not completely successful, and the strength was useless. Manu turned around and got the ball back. When he was about to start a crossover and forced overtake, the ball was shot off in his hand!
Just as Manu transported the ball to his right hand, the ball flew out. Jiang Yuntao saved the ball back with three quick steps and successfully intercepted it continuously!
Manu had already run to the basket to make a layup. After finishing this very coherent combo, he found that the ball was gone!
Chapter completed!
