Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Shhhh..."

After another set of jump shot training, Zhuang Yu made 100 out of 95.

This hit rate can be said to be quite high, but the hit rate cannot be generalized. You cannot compare the hit rate of two-point shots with that of three-point shots, nor can you compare the hit rate of shots within the three-second zone with that of mid-range jump shots.

There is always a principle in basketball: the closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate.

If you stand under the basket, anyone who knows how to play basketball can make at least eight or nine shots out of ten.

After all, it's like the basket is in front of you, all you have to do is reach out and put the ball in.

But when the distance moves to the free throw line, your shooting percentage may drop, and making seven or eight out of 10 is considered good.

And it's not stable.

When you are lucky, you may get seven or eight, eight or nine out of ten. When you are unlucky, you may only get four or five out of ten.

When the distance is extended to outside the three-point line, the hit rate will drop again, and only four or five out of 10 may be made. It is not surprising to miss shots one after another when you are unlucky.

Of course, this is for the average person.

For professional players, especially NBA players, they have a very high hit rate at any distance.

However, as the distance increases, the stability will decrease.

For example, when Zhuang Yu was training, his three-point shooting percentage was over 90%, and sometimes it was normal for him to make 100 or 95 out of 96.

However, this is not stable. Not every time you can score 95 or 96. Sometimes, 90, 91 or 92 is not surprising.

But for a lob shot that is so close to the basket, for someone with Zhuang Yu's height and wingspan, it's almost like the ball is right in front of him. Even if he throws it with one hand instead of shooting normally, his hit rate and stability are still very high.

Of course, it must be emphasized that this is training, not actual combat.

During training, the close-range jump shot may be like this, the mid-range fade away may be like this, and the three-point shot from outside the three-point line may be like this. In fact, there is no difference in the defensive interference you face.

But it’s another matter when it comes to actual combat.

In actual combat, the three-point line has more space, and you often face less defensive interference. Usually there is only one defensive player in front of you, or he is open but far away from the basket.

When you are within the three-point line, although you are close to the basket, the space becomes smaller and you will face more defensive interference. There may be 1-2 players in front of you, and it will become more difficult for you to shoot calmly. So even though you are closer to the basket, it does not mean it is easier to score.

Furthermore, when you get within the three-second zone.

At this time, the defensive interference you need to face is getting greater. You may need to face the person who is opposite you, as well as the opponent's center who is guarding the basket and responsible for backup defense. There are more people defending you, and the opponents are taller, so the shooting space is smaller. Sometimes it can be said that you have to take advantage of every opportunity.

At this time, it is difficult for you to calmly adjust your shooting posture. You need to use various methods to gain shooting space, confront the opponent, and then shoot after the confrontation.

The difficulty is naturally higher under this situation, and it is definitely not comparable to that during training.

So even though he achieved a 90% success rate in his jump shots, Zhuang Yu was still not satisfied. He rested for a while, then grabbed Clarkson over and asked Clarkson and Lance to defend him together to further enhance the defensive interference.

Zhuang Yu's shooting percentage dropped again. After a round of lob training, his shooting percentage had fallen below 90%.

But this is exactly the effect Zhuang Yu wants.

"What a pervert."

"Yeah, I've never seen him practice like this."

"Why do I feel like Zhuang Yu has a bit of a masochistic tendency? Does he really have to make things so difficult for himself?"

"You know shit. He has aspirations and high standards for himself. He is not like you who just practice casually. That's why you can only be an ordinary role player, while he is a superstar. You know the difference, right? Go down and settle down."

"I... No, it's not about whether I work hard or not. It also requires talent."

The friends were all amazed, some were arguing, and some were muttering depressedly that it was not because they didn’t work hard, but because they didn’t have enough talent.

This does require talent.

Physical talent is a talent, shooting talent is also a talent, and even basketball IQ is a talent.

If a person does not have the physical talent of James, it is naturally impossible for him to play like James.

If a person does not have the shooting talent like Curry, even if he practices three-pointers hard, he will never be able to reach Curry's level.

If a person does not have basketball IQ, he will be like McGee, who has top-notch abilities below the brain but is just average.

Zhuang Yu is like a guy with maxed-out talents. Whether it's his height, wingspan, athletic ability, shooting talent, or basketball IQ, they are all top-notch.

How can anyone compare this?

......

"Stopped."

"It should be almost done."

Finally, Zhuang Yu stopped training.

But just when everyone thought that his jump shot training had ended here today, he returned to the court after a short rest and called his friends again.

"Isn't it?"

"Fuck, we still need to practice?"

“Isn’t this too much?”

Everyone was surprised, even a little confused and puzzled. At Zhuang Yu's level, there was no need to force himself to improve. He only needed to maintain his current competitive level and he would be the best in the league.

You're already number one, what else can you improve on?

Zhuang Yu himself is of course aware that his current level is already at the T0 level of the league, but he has his own pursuits, and he likes the feeling of challenging himself.

Just like the previous transformation in pursuing three-pointers and fadeaway jump shots, although the process was difficult, when the transformation happened, that feeling was something that nothing else could bring.

It is an incomparable spiritual enjoyment.

......

on the field.

Zhuang Yu started from outside the three-point line. After taking two steps forward, he suddenly stepped sideways to create distance between himself and the defender. He then raised the ball and threw it with one hand.

"boom!"

The ball didn't go in, but everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Good guy, use your left hand now."

"No way, is he really that perverted? Is he going to shoot with both hands? Is he trying to train his left hand to be as accurate as his right hand?"

People watched in amazement as Zhuang Yu returned to the three-point line, broke through with the ball again, and then did a European step, but the final shot was a left-handed floater.

I really need to practice my left hand!

Everyone just thought it was abnormal, even Rose was speechless. He usually practiced just right-handed lobs, but Zhuang Yu not only had to practice his right hand, he had to practice his left hand as well.

Imagine that scene: during the game, after Zhuang Yu broke through, he shot with both hands, one with his left hand and one with his right hand. The defensive player would be absolutely confused, as he could never guess whether Zhuang Yu would use his left hand or his right hand to throw the ball.

How helpless and desperate would that be?

"Hey......"

Someone sighed and said with a bitter face: "Why is the gap between people so big?"

Everyone nodded, already somewhat speechless.

Uh-huh...

With a slight sound, Zhuang Yu's left-handed throw made the shot.

Then he continued to go back to the three-point line and repeated the previous action. After breaking through, he threw the basketball towards the basket with his left hand.

The hit rate was indeed a bit low at the beginning, but after dozens of times, Zhuang Yu's hit rate began to improve and became more and more accurate.

This made the friends unable to bear it.

I dare not watch it anymore, because I am afraid that if I continue to watch it, I will be devastated.

If they continue to watch, they will lose interest in basketball and confidence in themselves.

Damn, the gap is clearly bigger than that between humans and dogs!

After a set of training, Zhuang Yu shook his head, very dissatisfied with his performance. After all, his left hand was much worse than his right hand.

In fact, the reason why Zhuang Yu practiced left-handed lobs was not to show off.

Outside the free throw line and the three-point line, the left hand is basically useless at such a distance, unless you are a left-handed person like Manu Ginobili or James Harden, who shoots with his left hand, but you can't rarely see them shooting with their right hand outside the three-point line.

But within the three-second zone, left-handed shooting, layups, and lobs can become a viable means of scoring.

It’s still the same point, the distance is short, it is easier to control, and the stability is higher.

Zhuang Yu once watched a game, which was a Lakers game.

Kobe once withdrew from the game due to an injury to his right hand, but he returned to the court after a simple treatment, but his right hand still could not complete the shot. At this time, he chose to dribble with his left hand and shoot with his left hand, almost all the time with his left hand, but he was still able to score the ball.

When he first saw this game, Zhuang Yu was astounded.

From then on, Zhuang Yu paid more and more attention to the training of his left hand. Many of his layups in the game were completed with his left hand, following a simple principle, that is, use the right hand when breaking through from the right side, and use the left hand when breaking through from the left side.

The advantage of this is that you can better avoid blocking.

At the same time, left-handed layups or lobs will catch defensive players off guard, which is inconsistent with their predictions and they are often unable to defend.

Now that Zhuang Yu wants to train his lob shot, and since the lob shot is to be completed within the three-second zone, of course he has to train his left hand.

Just looking at the entire league, apart from left-handed players, there are very few people who can use their left hand to finish in the game except for layups.

If we talk about a representative one, it should be Irving.

Irving's left and right hands are very balanced. In the game, he can not only finish with his right hand, but also with his left hand after a breakthrough. Whether it is a left-handed layup, a layup, a small lob shot, or a pull-up layup, he completes it very well.

In fact, all NBA players have relatively coordinated left and right hands, but there are still some differences. So in the game, in the high-intensity confrontation, they rarely use their left hand to finish, because it is very unstable.

It is not easy to actually finish with the left hand in actual combat and have enough stability to make this technique truly usable.

Irving is definitely a master of skills!

Of course, if you can practice to Irving's level, this technique can also further enhance your finishing ability.

The reason why Zhuang Yu wants to practice jumping shots is to make sure his offense has no weaknesses, so he must practice his left hand.
