Chapter 675 A 3-point shot with a lot of room for improvement
"It may not be long. I have already contacted the training team in the United States. I want to conduct special training during the offseason!" Ying Xiong said.

"Well, I am very pleased that you can still have this kind of mentality with your current ability!" Shao Ziqiang smiled slightly, and then took a sip of tea.

Ying Xiong didn't speak, he was waiting for Shao Ziqiang to continue.The two have known each other for so many years, and they are already familiar with each other's way of speaking, and they will not easily interrupt each other, nor will they be cold.

"What is the specific direction of your special training this time?" Shao Ziqiang looked at Ying Xiong with big eyes and said slowly.

Ying Xiong put down the teacup in his hand, and replied seriously: "I followed your advice before, and I strengthened my core strength. I want to continue this practice during the offseason. This time, I also want to practice 3-point shooting And floaters, I want to improve my offensive efficiency. Also, I want to improve my defense off the ball!"

Shao Ziqiang didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

Ying Xiong didn't speak either, he was waiting for Shao Ziqiang's suggestion.As for Shao Ziqiang's understanding of his basketball skills, he believes that no other coach in the world can match him.So he attached great importance to Shao Ziqiang's suggestion, and he also believed that his mentor would not deceive him.

"There is nothing wrong with your general training policy. You must have felt the benefits of core strength in the game. I won't say more about this. You really need to improve your 3-point shooting. Your 3-point shooting ability, if you only look at shooting percentage , Very good, the number of hits has also improved this season, but I think you still have a lot of room for improvement!"

"Do you think I still have a lot of room for improvement?" Ying Xiong couldn't help asking.

"Yeah!" Shao Ziqiang nodded and continued, "Many of your high 3-point shooting percentages are obtained when you get good opportunities, or when the opponent is afraid of your strong breakthrough ability and gives you a chance to make a move. The shooting rate is very stable and high, and sometimes you can hit consecutively when you feel the touch, but have you ever thought that once the opponent strictly guards your 3-pointers, will your shooting rate be so high? Or do you just Will you choose to make more breakthroughs?"

Ying Xiong fell into deep thought...Of course he knew that his 3-point shot had never been his trump card, and it hadn't reached the level where his opponents would be afraid.If you want to improve, the 3-point shooting ability is a very important part of it.

Shao Ziqiang continued: "Times are indeed changing, and I think you are aware of it. The era of Michael Jordan, or the beginning of this century, is a completely different game compared to today. In today's game, 3-pointers It is becoming more and more important, and it is becoming more and more difficult for traditional insiders to become superstars. In the future, it may be the era of outside stars. As a more cost-effective offensive weapon than long two-pointers, 3-pointers have been increasingly used The team values ​​it. So, if you want to improve your 3-point shooting, you're thinking the right way."

"As for why I say that your 3-point shooting still has a lot of room for improvement, it is because you are not as confident in shooting 3-pointers compared to layups and mid-range jumpers. There is no problem with your 3-point ability, whether it is shooting Both the posture and the timing of the shot are excellent, and even the speed of the shot is comparable to many well-known 3-point shooters. But in terms of shooting confidence, you are not as good as Stephen Curry, not as good as Ray Allen, not even as good as Nick Young and JR Smith! "Shao Ziqiang said word by word.

Ying Xiong looked at Shao Ziqiang in surprise and said, "Coach, you revealed the biggest flaw in my 3-point shooting!" He took a deep breath, and then continued, "You know, when I won the MVP and the championship , there are still many people questioning me, but few people will point out technical deficiencies and flaws to me. People are more concerned about a player's achievements, a player's off-court life, but how many people will really care What about the details of my personal skills!"

"Xiaoying, I think you are still too modest sometimes. You are already perfect. To put it bluntly, Jordan, known as the 'God of Basketball', may have a lot more honors than you, but in terms of comprehensive skills, He is not as good as you. Sometimes you lack a kind of unscrupulous temperament, because you are too considerate of the overall situation and think too much in the game, not technical problems, but more mentality." Shao Ziqiang said earnestly said.

"What do you think I need to do?" Ying Xiong asked.

"When you're shooting, don't think about what will happen if you miss the shot or if you make the shot. The shot is over. Believe in the sweat you put in in the previous training, you can do whatever you want!" Shao Ziqiang said seriously.

Ying Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then regained his firm eyes: "Coach, I know what to do!"

"Hahaha..." Shao Ziqiang smiled and refilled Ying Xiong's tea, and then said: "I have already won the first defense, and I need to improve my defense. Want to win the best defensive player?"

"Why not?" Ying Xiong smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Well, it's a good thing to have ambition!" Shao Ziqiang patted Ying Xiong's shoulder, and changed the topic, "Li Jianwu, that kid, seems to have done a good job at your place!"

"He has done a good job. I thought he would not adapt, but in the past few years, he has really worked hard and done a great job! Now he likes to be a basketball agent, and now he is a commercial endorsement in China. Everything, he is doing it for me." Ying Xiong said with a smile.

"I am very happy to see that you are getting better and better. You have grown up, and I am also old, and I am going to retire!" Shao Ziqiang laughed.

"How old are you, I still count on you to teach my children how to play basketball!" Ying Xiong joked.

"Hahaha..." Shao Ziqiang couldn't help laughing, and he could tell that he was in a very good mood right now.

Ying Xiong said goodbye to Shao Ziqiang, and after staying at home for two days, he couldn't wait to return to the United States.He gained a lot from this trip back home.Shao Ziqiang's words inspired him a lot, and he also had new ideas for offseason training.

After Ying Xiong returned to the United States, he sent invitations to his teammates and some NBA friends, and soon, his training camp participants were in place.The appeal of Alliance No.1 is extraordinary.A player who wants to train and improve himself during the offseason, facing the invitation of No. 1 in the league, few people can easily refuse such a temptation.

Ying Xiong's personal training camp, the list is as follows: Ying Xiong, Jeremy Lin, DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Patterson, Kyle Korver, Taylor Hansbrough, Charles Hayes, Tyson Chandler Le, Danilo Gallinari, Caron Butler, Terrence Ross, Along Gray, James Johnson, Lucas Nogueira.
