born basketball king

Chapter 41
"You don't need to practice for breaking through. My breakthrough is definitely unmatched in school. I have body, speed and bounce, and..."

"Stop bragging, okay!" Wang Bo interrupted before I finished blowing, "I know you have made a breakthrough, so if you can say one sentence, stop it, and stop repeating the reason for your breakthrough!"

"Listen to me, the main reason for a good breakthrough is that I am in good health, I am fast, I bounce high, I move fast, I..., hey, don't go, it's okay, stop talking, hahaha, teach me how to shoot!"

Without saying a word, Wang Bo walked to the free throw line with a limp and no one in sight, just like the limping little brother Ma in the movie "Tomorrow 2", with a majestic look and a super cool look, he raised his head and stared directly at the basket.

"Give me the ball!" Wang Bo shouted at me aggressively.

I threw the ball in my hand to him, Wang Bo caught the ball steadily, patted it, held the ball with both hands, raised his head, raised the ball above his head, did not jump, and shot steadily!The ball came out of the basket!No entry!
I turned my head to look at Wang Bo in surprise, his face blushed instantly, but his expression was still pretending to be calm: "See, mid-range shooting is difficult, even if the posture is correct, you may not score every ball, so practice hard!"

"Come on, if you don't make a shot, you don't make a shot, and there are a lot of reasons. By the way, isn't this a free throw? It's not a mid-range shot." I mercilessly laughed at Wang Bo's lies.

"So what if I don't make a shot. I've been injured and haven't trained. It's normal for my touch to drop." Wang Bo looked dead like a pig and was not afraid of boiling water. "Let me explain to you: the upper body and hand movements of the mid-range shot and free throw are very similar, but the mid-range shot requires a more stable shot rhythm. Because the mid-range shot involves jumping, it is easy to shake when shooting, so the mid-range shot must reach the highest point in the air before making a shot, so the rhythm of the shot is more stable."

"Secondly, the wrist must be stable and smooth during mid-range shots. Hold the ball firmly with your left hand, and push the ball out in an arc with your right wrist at [-] degrees. Remember to rely on the strength of your wrist. Of course, your arm should also be pushed forward and as far as possible. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." I said with dull eyes.

"..., I'm so stupid~~!" Wang Bo found an opportunity to fight back my ridicule just now, "Simply put, mid-range shooting is two steps of jumping and shooting. You break through sharply and bounce first-rate, so you can complete the "jump" action with high quality no matter whether it is a dry pull or an emergency stop.

"Should I go back and get a notebook to take notes?"

"No! Listen to me honestly! To shoot, first raise the ball above your head with both hands. You can try to be as high as possible. Don't block your line of sight. Look at the back edge of the basket, not the front edge of the basket."

"Secondly, the left hand should protect the ball, and the right wrist should swing crisply and with a certain arc. When shooting, the arm and the left palm must be stable, like this!" Wang Bo tried another shot. This time his movement was very slow. After the ball was lifted above his head, he held it for a very long time and shot!A hollow into the net!
"Did you see it?" Wang Bo turned to me and asked.

"I see, I'll vote!" Looking at Wang Bo's simple and skilled movements of his wrist and arm, he felt that he had mastered all the skills.

Wang Bo threw the ball over, and I stood at the free throw line ready to shoot.

"Don't stand on the free throw line in the middle, you can try to go a little farther! The defense is generally tighter in the middle, and you can try to shoot around 45 degrees."

Hearing what Wang Bo said, I was going to make a mid-range shot near the 45-degree angle of the basket inside the three-point line, hold the ball tightly with both hands, jump up firmly and vertically, and shoot!
"Kang Dang~~!" The basketball bounced out of the basket.

"Why didn't you make it in? After listening to your class, shouldn't you hit every shot?" I complained.

Wang Bo didn't speak, he limped and wanted to help me pick up the ball.

"Don't move!" I stopped him immediately, I can't let a disabled person pick up the ball, "You just stand under the basket and wait for me, I'll go pick up the ball!"

I ran quickly to pick up the bounced basketball, and when I turned back to the court, Wang Bo was already standing under the basket, watching me quietly and dignifiedly.

I jumped up at a 45-degree angle again and the ball hit the backboard in a sharp arc, but the ball still missed!Angrily, I continued to shoot at a 45-degree angle. I made 18 shots in a row and only scored 2 goals. I felt that my shooting percentage was quite high. After all, I scored [-] goals.

"Your shooting posture is not bad, and the jump height is enough. The main reason is that the wrist and arm are always shaking after jumping up, especially the wrist swing is too small, and the shot is unstable! It still needs a lot of practice." Wang Bo seriously commented and gave a general suggestion: study hard and practice hard!
"Shooting 500 shots in a row like free throws again?" I remembered the scene of practicing free throws before.

"Not 500." Wang Bo said blankly.

"Less than 500 is fine, so you don't have to wait until you can't eat supper."

"Not 500, but 1500!"

"What the hell?! 1500?! Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"A zero-based person like you who has never practiced shooting has to change from quantitative to qualitative! Hurry up, and you won't be sent back to the dormitory if you don't finish shooting! Besides, the shooting you practice now is basically useless in our team."

"What do you mean? Those 1500 balls are not for nothing!"

"What I mean is that you are currently practicing open shots. This is the same as Ah Huang's shots. It is to find an open space and take off from the spot to score. But this kind of shooting must have a breakthrough person in the team. After this person breaks through, he will attract many defenders. Only in this way can there be an open space and a shot."

"But in the official game, there are very few open opportunities. Every time Ah Huang makes an open shot, it is because of your sharp breakthrough, but if you want to shoot open, who will break through to attract the defense?!"

"Then aren't you kidding me? Then why should I practice this?"

"Open shots are the basis of mid-range shots. If you practice the open shots well, you need to practice the remaining two shooting skills, one is the pull-up jump shot, and the other is the pull-up jump shot!"

"What the hell are these two? Can you name all the technologies at once?!"

"I'm afraid to scare you if I tell you everything! Tonight, I will shoot 1500 open shots. When I get the feeling of shooting, I will add run-ups, jumps, emergency stops, dribbles and other actions."

"..., okay, it should be fine, I'll hurry up and shoot!" After I finished speaking, I immediately picked up the basketball and shot 10 shots in a row. The shooting speed was very fast, but I only scored 1 goal.

"Big brother, I'm telling you to score 1500 balls, not 1500 balls!" Wang Bo smiled kindly like Santa Claus.
