The first plug-in in basketball

Chapter 29: Training from the King of Shot Blockers
Bang, bang, bang.

In the basketball hall of Davidson College, young athletes are swaying their sweat.

"Hey, Dell, why are you here today?" McCropp said overjoyed when he saw Dell Curry suddenly appearing outside the training hall.

"I brought you a treasure." Dell Curry said pretending to be mysterious.

"Oh?" McCropp was very curious, what kind of baby was actually delivered by Dell Curry himself.

After a while, a seven-foot-long man appeared in front of McCropp.

"This is..." McCropp opened his mouth wide.

To be able to invite such a big shot, alas, why don't everyone say that Stephen is very happy?After all, Uncle Carter was a training partner when I was young.

McCropp called off practice.

"Lin, come here." McCropp said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi walked towards this side curiously, and he also noticed Dell Curry and the person next to Dell Curry.

So tall, it seems to be about the same as me?

But judging by his age, he should be in his 50s, right?

Of course Lin Yi didn't recognize this one.

After all, Chinese fans began to understand the NBA more from the era of Michael Jordan.

And this one is an ancient god.

"Lin, you have to thank Uncle Dale very much. This is the personal assistant he hired for you, and only he can hire this big man." McCropp said to Lin Yi with a smile.

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and shook the big man.

"Let me introduce, Terry Rollins, my old friend." Dell Curry introduced.

Terry Rollins, the NBA's block leader in the 82/83 season!At the same time, he was also selected to the NBA's All-Defensive Second Team that year and the NBA's All-Defensive First Team next year!
The legendary star of the Atlanta Hawks has had 4 triple-double block performances in his career!
Known for his athleticism and shot-blocking ability in the NBA.

"I've watched your game, and it's really touching. The physical fitness of young people today is much better than ours!" Terry Rollins said with emotion.

Terry Rollins said that Lin Yi's movement speed and lateral movement exceeded his imagination, but he seems to be unable to fully use the technique of blocking shots when defending.

"Listen, you have excellent movement speed and wingspan, which can help you block shots even if you are one step behind others, and you can block shots even if you take fake moves, so I will train you in this area next." Terry Rollins said the purpose of his trip.

Lin Yi was very grateful to Dell Curry, and this time he was completely in Stephen's favor.

In fact, Dell Curry also has selfish intentions, especially when he had a good talk with Curry on Christmas night.

Stephen said frankly that he didn't have any expectations for this year, and only wanted to successfully transform himself and then go to the NBA. After all, the Davidson Wildcats are not doing well this year.

But Lin Yi's sudden growth and the talent and strength he showed made Stephen think again.

Which college player has no dream?
Everyone came to play with the dream of basketball in mind.

But in front of this dream is a vote of NCAA super strong team led by North Carolina.

If they want to go further in the future of March Madness, the Davidson Wildcats must make a breakthrough.

Dell Curry knows that his son's technology has been formed, and the rest can only be explored and researched by himself. He can no longer teach Curry more.

And the potential of the rest of the Davidson Wildcats is limited.

The only one who can improve is Lin Yi.

And before March Madness comes, he has a lot of room for improvement.

Especially defense.

There are not many seven-footers in the NCAA, otherwise players like Thabeet who completely rely on their height to play will not wreak havoc on the inside of the NCAA.

Lin Yi's average blocked shots per game is only 2.1, and he can definitely do better.

An excellent inside player with a huge defensive area is of great help to the team.

Lin Yi has the potential to become such a super insider.

His pace is not fast enough, but quite fast!
His lateral movement is outstanding, and his body is not as flexible as a big man of this height.

Although his bounce is average, but his bounce speed is fast, and combined with his terrifying wingspan and height, his actual take-off height may be higher than Blake Griffin.

So Dell Curry shamelessly found his friend.

Terry Rollins, who was already out of work, was initially skeptical of what Dell Curry described as a seven-foot center with the speed of a guard.

But after watching a few video clips sent to him by Dell Curry, Terry Rollins' blood, which had been quiet, suddenly boiled.

Coaching a shot-blocker?
This seems like a pretty good idea.

In the basketball gymnasium of Davidson College, everyone was training while watching Lin Yi who was doing individual training in the other half.

It's amazing!
Unexpectedly, even the former NBA shot blocker praised Lin Yi for his outstanding talent and strong learning ability.

"Lin, the most important thing about blocking shots is prediction rather than reaction! For example, you know what shots your opponent will hit and what shots they won't hit. With such predictions, it will be much easier for you to block shots!"

"Secondly, you have to know that when the opponent is attacking your left hand, if you use your left hand to block the shot, it will be faster and easier to block the opponent than your right hand."

"Also, you have to expand your defensive area. The NCAA doesn't have a three-second defense. If you focus on zone defense, you should be able to cover the loopholes of all your teammates by yourself!"

"Give full play to your height and wingspan! Although your strength is not top-notch, you are not afraid of confrontation, but what's the point of unnecessary confrontation? Sometimes you need to use this, use your wisdom! Remember, sometimes the blocking is done because you deliberately lure the opponent to attack! When the opponent thinks there is an opportunity, it is also your best defensive opportunity!" Terry Rollins told Lin Yi that he must use his brain when defending.

What is prejudgment?
It's very simple, when you can't figure out the opponent's moves, the opponent can beat you no matter how they play.

For example, in Lin Yi's first NCAA game, the Oklahoma Rapids suffered a lot.

But what if you can't figure out your opponent's moves no matter what?
As Terry Rollins said, deliberately showing weakness, luring the opponent to attack, and then using his movement speed and wingspan to complete the block in an instant.

Terry Rollins trained Lin Yi for a whole week.

Lin Yi's progress this week surprised even the NBA shot-blocking king.

"I really think you have ruined a super center. If he was stronger, he would most likely follow the footsteps of the big dream and become the dominant insider." Terry Rollins was still complaining about Lin Yi's outside style of play when he left.

McCropp smiled. This kind of old comrade is definitely more professional than him in defense, but his understanding of basketball is not necessarily the case.

Who said that the center must play inside?
Why are the four major centers often injured?But Dirk Nowitzki has been able to maintain his peak for so many years?

It's simple, less confrontation means less chance of injury.

Moreover, the development of modern basketball is getting faster and faster, and there are so many skills that do not overwhelm him. It's not that Lin Yi can't play inside offense, he's just special.

Speaking of playing inside is easy to get injured, it seems that keyboard warriors are not useless.

After all, when the bull's rose first bloomed, countless Chinese keyboard warriors believed that Rose's knees would not last three years.

You must know that in some irrelevant games, McCropp is now asking Curry and Lin Yi to make as few breakthroughs as possible to avoid injuries.

Modern basketball, who can say the law of development?
