Chapter 60

Blocking is a frequently used technical action in basketball. When grabbing a rebound, the defensive side squats halfway, lowers its waist and exerts force, and opens its arms to block the offensive side behind itself. It is ready to catch the ball before the back. At the same time, the offensive team often needs to make positioning movements with their backs to the basket. The purpose is to keep the defenders behind them. This is a necessary technique for centers and power forwards.

What Evans teaches is mainly the rebound card position, which is divided into two situations: the back to the attacker in the paint area and the T-shaped card position in the free throw line area.

The power forward has a relatively large range of activities. When the opposing player is still in the free throw line area far from the basket, it is suitable for a T-shaped card position. Turn sideways and the opposing player to form a T-shaped position, and extend the blocking foot to the In the middle of the opponent's front feet, the center of gravity falls on the card position foot, and at the same time raise one arm, use the strength of the arm to counter the opponent's upper body and squeeze out the space.After shooting or when the opposing player launches an offensive, quickly half-turn around, firmly occupy the blocking space with the body, and raise both arms at the same time, using the core strength of the trunk to block the opponent.

The advantage of the T-shaped card position is that it is very flexible. It takes into account the observation of the situation on the field while being in the card position. You can switch to the full-back card position at any time by half-turning to prevent the opponent from rushing to grab the rebound, or you can give up immediately. For the opposing player, choose to supplement or switch defenses for the ball holder.

The full-back position is mainly suitable for the position in the paint area under the basket. The position of the feet is very critical. The center of gravity of the parallel position is too straight. Once the opponent pushes or moves, the center of gravity cannot keep up and it is easy to have no time to react. Therefore, it is best A good card position must be staggered with both feet, one in front and one behind, with the center of gravity on the back foot to withstand the defensive player.

When the opponent moves laterally, raise your arms. On the one hand, you can counter the opponent’s upper body strength and prevent the opponent from approaching the backboard. On the other hand, you can use your arms to accurately perceive the opponent’s movement and position. The crab-like movement of your feet is also very good. It is important to stabilize the center of gravity under high confrontation, while improving agility as much as possible.

This crab step is not the same as James' crab step. After the explanation, Evans called a trainer and practiced it with Channing himself.

Evans faces the basket, spreads his legs, raises his hands, and traps Channing behind him.

"move!"

Channing took a step to the left, and Evans immediately sensed Channing's movement through his upper arm. With his left arm, he slowed down his movement. At the same time, his feet slid and blocked Channing horizontally like a crab. This is A real crab walk.

"Have you seen it? Come on, give it a try."

Channing and Evans practiced against each other. Evans was very serious and kept pointing out where Channing made mistakes.

"Don't lean on me with your back, as soon as you remove the bench, you will fall!" Channing made a mistake that beginners often make. Lying on the opponent's back seems to be able to suppress the opponent, but in fact it will give the opponent the center of gravity to control , Once the opponent suddenly moves and exerts force, it is easy to lose its own initiative.

This situation often occurs in post-up singles. If the attacker leans his body too much towards the opponent, the smart defender will suddenly retreat, causing the attacker to stagger or even fall badly.

"Pay attention to your arm movements, stay close to me, try to feel my position, but you must not use your elbows to hook me or pull me with your hands, it is easy to be targeted by the referee!"

"Look, if I've already got half a body position, like now, you should put your arms close to your body to get close to me, put your shoulders on me for the first time, stop me from getting closer to the basket, but remember not Move too much."

Evans was very serious and did not hide his secrets. What he taught Channing was the experience and skills he had summed up over the years, which benefited Channing a lot.

At the same time, Evans' teaching work is very careful, and he told Channing about every detail. If Evans retires, he will definitely be an excellent rebounding coach.

The practice didn't end until late at night. Evans was very satisfied with Channing's learning ability and comprehension ability. The next day, he taught Channing a lot of practice methods to improve his positioning ability.

"The zama stance is the basic posture of the position. It allows you to stick firmly to the ground, just like being fixed on the ground. The stronger the opponent's strength, the lower the center of gravity of your Zama should be."

The first training method is the zama stance. Unlike the Zama stance training in traditional Chinese martial arts, Evans’ horse stance does not require kicking, but requires higher flexibility. Channing needs to learn how to perceive and adjust his thighs proficiently In order to switch different horse stance heights, keep the horse stance and move sideways, and take off from the horse stance at any time.

"Sit on the buttocks is the second training method. After the thighs are exerted, the center of gravity should be on the buttocks, not the back. Training a buttocks is not only a matter for women, but also for men. When attacking from the back, you need the strength of your hips."

This Channing knows that the most famous big butts in the NBA are the former Barkley and the current Anthony.

Barkley is nicknamed Flying Pig. He is 1 tall and plays a power forward, but he still flies into the sky and escapes from the ground. He relies on his abnormal weight and strength. The three-point line began to poke his ass. In order to limit Barkley's rogue style of play, the NBA specially added the "98-second rule for post-up singles". The time limit for post-up singles cannot exceed 5 seconds. It can be said that Barkley is invincible Big ass makes the league change for him.

Melon Anthony is the representative of big butts among active players. He is tall and strong. He is good at using his big butt to squeeze the opponent's center of gravity when he is playing low-post singles, and then finishes in a variety of ways. The scene that impressed Channing is Anthony. He was blocked many times, but he was able to overwhelm the basket with his strength, grabbed offensive rebounds in a row, and finally scored 2+1.

Channing's butt is also pretty good, many women praise him as an electric motor, he just needs to change his habit of exerting force from charging forward to poking backward.

It might sound weird, but Channing always feels chilly ass every time he does a big ass back poke, but nothing is unbearable in order to get stronger.

"The third practice method is blocking, which focuses on the movements of the hands and arms. I don't know if the position is a matter of the body and lower limbs, and the hand movements also play a very important auxiliary role. While pressing back, the shoulders are also exerting force, coupled with the movement of the foot to the left, the same practice is done on the right side."

With all three exercises learned, Channing performed a few drills before starting a comprehensive workout with the help of Evans and several trainers.
