NBA villain

Chapter 346 Yao Ming Asks for Advice
After the game, Yang Di was praised for his core strength.

The wonderful turn at the last moment, as well as the fallback jumper after the turn, showed Yang Di's outstanding skills, raised arms, twirling fingers, and flexible wrists.

And the eyes that are always domineering and confident.

The camera made a close-up of No. 8's back, with his arms raised to shoot, his posture ecstatic.

In the post-production, Yang Di's lore back with fire special effects became a classic wallpaper and a poster for the current issue of "Basketball Pioneer", which is currently very popular in China.

During the period, the sales of newspapers increased greatly, and many fans deliberately bought this special poster.

Under normal circumstances, the posters of "Basketball Pioneer" are ordinary stadium photos, with enough depth of field at most, and the background is blurred to highlight the main characters and elements. It has never been done before with special effects like this.

"Big heart player!"

Cai Nan used such words to describe Yang Di, "Maybe Yang Di's contribution on the field is far more than what his statistics show. He is a super-phenomenal player."

After the game was over, Yang Di was sought after.

The reporter chased all the way from the locker room to the press conference, and Yang Di was treated like a star.

After the press conference, Yang Di received a special call.

Yao Ming suddenly called him.

"Congratulations, you beat the Suns and ranked first in the league last season."

"Thank you, good luck, it happened to be a lore."

"Marion's defense is like this, you can even shoot. After one summer, your shooting has really improved." Yao Ming revealed a tone of emotion on the phone, and Yang Di didn't know why he said that.

"What's the matter, brother? You seem to be in the wrong mood?" Yang Di told the truth, what was on his mind, he just said it directly.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, how did you manage to fight against the running and bombing teams like the Suns, I feel that it is very hard for our Rockets to play against teams like the Suns and the Mavericks, you also saw it in last year's playoffs When we arrived, we finally broke out in the away game, won two games in a row, and finally lost the game.”

This question can be asked by Yang Di. In fact, Yang Di is just such an ordinary beating.

Yao Ming continued to ask: "Or, in other words, what method did you use to disrupt their rhythm and bring the game into a normal adaptive range."

"Do you think they're going too fast?"

"It's so fast, I'm often out of position and they finish the attack."

"That's how they deal with you. Once you're in position, it's hard for them to get to the rim easily, and they can't play the rhythm of the small ball."

Yang Di thought for a while, then pondered: "Yao Ming, I think there is something wrong with your style of play."

"Is there a problem with my style of play? What's the problem?" Yao Ming suddenly remembered the first thought that popped into his mind after seeing Yang Di's lore. Did Yang Di also want to talk about this problem?
"The hook is very strong, and the hit rate is also high, but you haven't given much play to your strengths."

"My small hooks are generally unstoppable, and after gaining weight this season, I obviously feel that my shots are more stable. I think the low post should be no problem, right?"

"Have you gained weight?" Yang Di was taken aback, "How much do you weigh now?"

"It's about 128 kilograms, and it has increased by about 3 kilograms in one summer." Yao Ming and Yang Di truthfully reported their weight. You know, his official information now says 134 kilograms, and the Rockets deliberately wrote more. Increased his weight to increase his deterrence.

"It's too heavy!" Yang Di's weight has been cut to 108 kilograms. He feels that he is relatively normal at this weight, and he can jump even if he fights.

"You are sure that your feet can bear it. Under this weight, the wear and tear on both feet is great. You have to know this." Yang Di expressed his thoughts unceremoniously, and even O'Neill recently started Plagued by knee and foot injuries, post players will experience various physical hazards once they turn 30. These are all problems caused by physical wear and tear when they were young.

"It should be fine. The team doctor has tested it. There is no problem with this weight."

"I don't believe it." Yang Di snorted. Many team doctors in the NBA are very crooked. They only rely on data to see a doctor, and they don't know how to seek truth from facts.

"Then how do you think I should attack?" Yao Ming asked for advice.

"With your height and your current strength, you can definitely make beautiful face-up shots. The offensive end catches the ball and jumps the effect is obviously much better than your hard hit to the basket.

"You want me to be a spot-up shooter?"

"Catching the ball at a fixed point and forcing a shot is a way. On top of this, you can make some changes, such as my favorite back-and-back jumper."

Yang Di said that he was immediately excited when he said the back turn. He has many techniques to share with Yao Ming: "For example, the most critical block action in the back turn is to block the opponent completely and add a feint on the spot. If the pivot foot Good control, can make a set of footwork around the basket."

"Also, if you don't turn back and turn forward, you can also dribble the back hook twice."

"The key is strength. Among inside players, the upper body strength determines the diversity of skills. If the upper body strength is sufficient, you can do anything."

"The key is that my upper body strength is not strong, and at most my lower body is not bad."

"So you can rely more on rebounds and backward shots. If your lower body is full and backward, the defensive players will not interfere with you too much. As long as the core strength of the waist and abdomen can keep up, plus your height and straight arms, I think it is impossible for ordinary players to defend, even I don’t have absolute confidence.”

"But the efficiency and shooting percentage will obviously drop, and it does not meet the requirements of Coach Van Gundy."

"But it is very labor-saving, effectively maintaining combat effectiveness in the fourth quarter, and in terms of the entire player's career, the career of a jumper is obviously longer than that of a layup master and a slam dunk king."

Yao Ming made sense, but he still hesitated in his heart. He only missed two games in the first three years of his career.

"Anyway, we and the Suns are running and gunning against running and bombing. I don't control the rhythm. The two guys on the inside are shorter than me. It's actually quite easy to fight. The main reason is that Marion's help defense is a bit troublesome. "

"Well, okay, I understand." Yao Ming on the other end of the phone nodded. He knew that Yang Di had taken a completely different path from him, and he really listened to Yang Di's words in his heart. There is one thing that he must pay attention to. Yes, it is his own mid-range shot, which may increase some of the proportion in future offenses.

Yang Di chatted with Yao Ming for a long time. After all the players in the locker room had showered, the Warriors left the arena one by one.

Sit on the bus, go back to the hotel, and wait for the next afternoon to return to Auckland.
