I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 98
Li Nan doesn't expect Zhou Qi to kill the game with a beautiful three-pointer. He still firmly believes that an insider should be powerful in the penalty area.

But if Zhou Qi plays the fourth position and Wang Zhelin plays the fifth position, it will be different.You must know that the emergence of the space-type fourth position can at least make the team's tactics more varied.

The space-type [-]th position is a brand-new concept derived from the trend of contemporary basketball. Due to the prevalence of small balls, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for post-up singles in positional battles. It is enough for the Chinese men's basketball team to have a tall player like Wang Zhelin inside to control rebounds and defense.

The fourth position can open up space, and being able to play fast breaks has become a must.In today's NBA league, except for a few giant insiders who don't shoot, such as Jordan Jr. and Capela.

Can't shoot three-pointers, but it's getting harder and harder to get along. If you have a three-pointer, even if you're not proficient in other offensive skills, you will have a certain chance to play if you can open up space.

Zhou Qi is developing in this direction, and he can only develop in that direction, otherwise the Rockets will have no place for him.

Just imagine, if Zhou Qi can open up the space, Li Yang and Zhao Rui's breakthrough will be easier and more effective.

"By the way, coach, I have a small request. I want to ask you for instructions. It may not be mature enough, but I think it is necessary." After hitting 300 three-pointers in the daily shooting task, Li Yang walked to coach Li Nan who was deep in thought, sweating profusely.

"Let's talk, what's the matter? Coach Li Nan couldn't help but mutter in his heart. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what's the matter with Li Yang looking for him? Could it be that he repented and still wants to stick to the starting lineup? Or is he dissatisfied and wants to take revenge on himself?

In the end, Li Nan was overjoyed by Li Yang's request. It turned out to be a false alarm, and at the same time, he paid more attention to Li Yang.

"That I just want to increase the blocking training for myself every day on the basis of the original training plan."

"Block, are you joking?" Li Nan looked at Li Yang in astonishment. Does this guy really know what position he is in?A guard who still wants to block shots, does he want to become a shot-blocking expert like Flash Wade?Or do you want to develop at the small forward position?

Now he actually wants to deliberately practice blocking shots, are you showing off your brain?
Which point guard do you see going to block shots alone?You just want to be a hexagon all-around fighter?
Of course, Li Yang did not make such a request on a whim, but his current defense has reached a bottleneck period, and he wants to improve in a short time unless he acquires new defensive skills.

The Asian Games is just around the corner, if he wants to make a big splash, he can't just wait for death, he can't wait for his death if he doesn't have enough time, he can only make a surprise move to win by surprise, even if it doesn't work, it's because he has too many skills to overwhelm him.

"Actually, is it possible to increase the special training for blocking shots? It's not impossible, but do you really need it?" Li Nan didn't directly refuse. No coach would refuse a player who voluntarily asked for additional training.

And seeing Li Yang being so proactive, Li Nan really couldn't bear to refuse, so he poured cold water on him to dampen his enthusiasm.

At the same time, Li Nan couldn't help complaining secretly in his heart: "NBA players and CBA players are not the same in training enthusiasm. Excellent people really have excellent reasons, unlike that group of brats who have never been so proactive in asking for additional training."

"People who are better than you are not scary, what is scary is that people who are better than you work harder than you. It seems that I am still too kind to those players!!!"

A group of members of the national team who were training suddenly shuddered collectively, and suddenly had a premonition of disaster coming.

"Of course I need to. I don't want to leave too many shortcomings. Before the start of the Asian Games, I will try my best to fill in my shortcomings." Li Yang said firmly.

"Physical fitness, offensive skills, defensive experience, these are my current disadvantages, and they are also the main goals I need to improve in the future, but I can't make great progress in a short period of time."

"Imagine, if in the last moment of the game, I blocked the opponent's lore, wouldn't it be useful?"

Li Yang's eyes became more determined, and his words became more logical, making it impossible to refute.

"Look, look, this is what a young player should look like! This kind of enthusiasm, this endless desire for basketball skills, this kind of drive to improve yourself at all times, especially in young people nowadays is rare!" Li Nan couldn't help giving Li Yang a thumbs up in his heart.

Regardless of whether Li Yang has mastered this skill in the end, Li Nan is determined to give this hard-working genius boy more opportunities!
But what Li Yang actually thinks in his heart is: "If I don't make good use of my super long wingspan and excellent physical fitness, it will be a waste of money!"

"Okay, you won, you successfully convinced me!!!" Coach Li Nan patted Li Yang's shoulder excitedly, and he had to say that he was infected by Li Yang's passion.

The next day, after the training started in the morning, Li Nan added a block training program for Li Yang.

Followed by a group of power forwards, in a team of two, they practiced blocking shots while dribbling for layups and blocking shots on the spot. Facing the power forward who was completely overwhelmed by his height and weight, Li Yang's blocking seemed a little bit like asking for trouble.

But when Li Yang completed the whole day of training, he also got what he deserved, and his ability to block shots has been greatly improved compared to before.

Since then, Li Yang not only has to complete regular shooting training, physical training, strength training, dribbling training, breakthrough training and tactical training every day, Li Yang also has to do block training like a power forward.

However, skills do not overwhelm you.Especially in the highly competitive NBA, excellent defense is easier to survive in the team.If he really develops his shot-blocking ability in the future, it will definitely benefit Li Yang's future.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

After just one week of special training, Li Yang's shot blocking has begun to bear fruit, and by the way, the B-level skill of "outside individual defense" has also been raised to the maximum that can be improved.

Currently, Li Yang's block blocking ability has unknowingly reached 65.

Although the blocking ability of 65 is not high, but with Li Yang's height and wingspan of 2 meters, in the Asian arena, the average guard of the team is simply a nightmare existence, with absolute deterrence.

That's right, Li Yang's arm span is very beautiful. When he measured his arm span yesterday, he was taken aback. It was a full 17cm. There is really nothing to say about the talent of this arm span. It is definitely the best in the class, except for the arm span monster Bamba.

At this time on the training ground, the national team's regular daily repertoire of 3 vs 3 bullfights is underway.

Li Nan and the teaching assistants were all staring at Li Yang, because he just rewarded Sun Minghui with a big volleyball hat!

Although Sun Minghui is only 1 meters tall, his ability to avoid blocks is very good. It is not possible to block him by just pulling out a stupid big guy. Even Zhou Qi may not be able to block him, let alone Li Yang is just a defender.

A few days ago, when he was singled out against Li Yang's team, Sun Minghui kept playing pick-and-rolls with his teammates to get rid of Li Yang's defense, so that Li Yang didn't take too much advantage.

But this time, Li Yang seized the opportunity precisely and let Sun Minghui return home in a disastrous defeat.

And similar things are happening more and more frequently these days.

People suddenly discovered that Li Yang likes to help defend the basket recently, which is a bit difficult to play.

Not only Sun Minghui, but the entire guard and striker players have basically lost people who have not been taken by Li Yang in the past few days. The remaining players have been counted on their fingers, except for those big and tall players.

Li Nan's performance made Li Nan very happy, because before the training camp, Li Nan couldn't see this on Li Yang.

In the past week of training, Li Yang surprised people almost every day.

"Did you see his defense, Gore?" Li Nan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, he simply loved Li Yang's violent hot pot when he was helping to defend inside these days.

In fact, Li Yang still has many deficiencies on the defensive end.For example, the disadvantage of height and weight, it is still a bit difficult to fight against the strikers, the timing of shots is not accurate enough, and it is easy to foul and so on.

But his beautiful blocks again and again concealed those shortcomings.

As long as you block enough shots, outsiders will have the illusion of "good defense" for you.

"Li Yang seems to have evolved in an all-round way. His three-pointers are still accurate and his defense is tougher. At the same time, he is also one of the most hardworking players on the team." Gore and coach Li Nan have the same opinion and are full of praise for Li Yang.

"Yeah, God will not treat hardworking people badly, hard work will always have good results."

Li Nan and Coach Gore were chatting when suddenly there was another "snap" on the field.

This time, it was Zhao Rui who was unlucky.His cut layup was directly slapped on the backboard by Li Yang.

Li Yang instantly turned into a cold-blooded, ruthless, inhuman shot-blocking maniac.

Li Nan looked at Li Yang who had completed the cover, and couldn't help applauding.The strange moves of the strange soldiers have gradually shown their power.
