NBA’s aging star system

"Su, sit down. Looking at the depressed expression on your face, you must have discovered your problem."

Coach Calipari looked at Su Tian's sluggish appearance, as if he had just undergone some intense exercise.

"Yes, coach," Su Tian replied with a depressed look, "Their physical fitness is much better than mine, and I can't handle it."

"Su, actually, physical fitness is the key to whether you can enter the NBA. There are too many outstanding players who cannot enter the NBA because their physical fitness is not good enough. You need to practice more. Of course, now is not the time to practice more. Now you want to solve the problem. , in fact, you can use another way of thinking to think about your positioning."

Calipari looked at Su Tian and taught.

"Another way of thinking? What do you mean coach?" Su Tian asked doubtfully.

"Su, have you ever thought about handing over the ball, using off-ball running to drive the opponent's defense, and then making three-point shots or passing the ball? I have observed that your three-point ability has been getting better and better recently. Good, enough to support your threat of running without the ball, which can well avoid the extra physical loss caused by the opponent's body collision."

Calipari said slowly, "Just like that little guy in Golden State, Steph Curry."

"No ball? Curry?!" Su Tian's expression was very exciting. At first, he was very reluctant when the coach asked him to hand over the ball.

After all, in his opinion, only when he has the ball in hand can he have data and be seen by scouts. But when the coach mentioned Curry, Su Tian's eyes lit up, yes, Curry,

Although there is no holding the ball without the ball, this does not mean that it is not important.

On the contrary, people with excellent off-the-ball ability are actually more likely to be favored by scouts. After all, not everyone is selected to be the core.

There are only 30 teams in the NBA, and only a few have core status. On the contrary, there is a greater demand for excellent role players, and the most important ability of excellent role players is undoubtedly the ability to play without the ball.

What's more, the coach also cited the example of Curry. In Su Tian's view, what he likes or envies most is not Curry's three-point ability.

It's his ability to convert from the ball to the off-ball. With this hand, Curry can also get more offensive opportunities, which in turn increases the threat.

"I didn't expect this old man to know football so well" Su Tian thought silently in his heart.

As a time traveler, of course he knows how good Curry will be in the future, but people today don't know that. I don't think Calipari has noticed Curry's playing style now, and he really understands the game. (There should be Tyronn Lue’s ball-savvy emoticon here)

"Thank you, coach, I understand, I know what to do next." Su Tian gratefully replied to the coach.

"It doesn't matter, kid, your future will be more exciting. You can watch more of Curry's game videos when you go back and learn about his running without the ball. I believe it will be helpful to you." Calipari answered with satisfaction. road.

Su Tian walked out of the gym full of energy and thought for a while, why didn't he, a time traveler, think of this, but the head coach, an aborigine, knew,

In fact, this is the difference between professionals and amateurs. Even if Su Tian is a time traveler, he is just a fan watching football. He is not a professional athlete, so it is normal to think of it.

Of course, he also fell into the inertia of thinking and believed that only by holding the ball in hand can he get data.

"It seems that in the future I will not only practice hard, but also learn professional basketball knowledge. Professional basketball is different. You can find the corresponding solution in just one game. I have to say, there is something."

Su Tian murmured to himself as he walked back home.

After returning home, Su Tian couldn't wait to find Curry's game videos, preparing to learn his running without the ball.

I was learning and learning and suddenly found that I was learning very quickly. This kind of learning speed was unprecedented before. What was going on?

After thinking for a while, Su Tian figured it out. It must be related to Ray Allen's template card. In his twilight years, Ray Allen was a master of running without the ball. He had excellent off-ball ability. Now he is learning the corresponding skills. There will also be blessings, which is considered normal.

It seems that template cards have many hidden benefits. We should pay more attention to this aspect in the future and tap into the abilities of each template card, so we can’t waste it.

Su Tian, ​​adhering to the spirit of diligence and frugality, once again fell into his fantasy of the Shilipo Sword God.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the 16-to-8 game day of the NCAA tournament.

The University of Kentucky was about to face the University of Louisville. Su Tian adjusted his wrist guards and prepared to play.

The head coach of the University of Louisville breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Tian playing. Originally, Louisville was not stable in terms of strength, so it can only be said that it was a bit uncertain.

But he watched the last game and knew Su Tian's weaknesses. He curled his lips, "Can I still copy homework?"

With a tactic, he leaned back, folded his arms, and sat firmly on the bench. Today we also experienced the happiness of a Zen master.

Su Tian did not notice the special behavior of the opponent's head coach. He focused all his attention on the court and stared at the players on the opposite side.

At the beginning of the game, Kentucky took the lead and Su Tian advanced with the ball. Looking at Su Tian holding the ball,

Both the head coach and the opposing players on Louisville's side were smiling, like hunters who saw their prey in the net.

On the Louisville side, Su Tian passed halftime and started to get up directly. Su Tian turned around to protect the ball, hit the ground, and gave the ball to Randall who was receiving the ball.

After Su Tian received the ball, he immediately started running without the ball. With the help of swimming skills and two screens, he successfully received the pass from Randall in the bottom corner. After receiving the ball, he adjusted slightly and shot.

At the same time, the three-point shooter badge and the catch-and-shoot badge in the bottom corner lighted up at the same time, and the basketball successfully entered the net.

Seeing that his shot was successful, he turned around and pointed at Randall to indicate a good shot, and quickly returned to defense.

The Louisville head coach was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and said uncertainly, "This must be an accident, um, it must be a coincidence, yes."

After saying that, I unconsciously sat up straight. After all, I am not a Zen master, and I don’t have the concentration of a Zen master.

Here, Louisville started to organize the offense, and the opponent's point guard used his body to beat Su Tian.

Although Su Tian's external defense was good, his body suffered a disadvantage and he could not withstand it. However, he always maintained his position and was able to interfere in time.

The opponent's point guard was about to go for a layup, but was slapped on the backboard by a big hand.

"Su, run!" Randall quickly turned the ball after blocking the shot. After passing it to Su Tian, ​​he immediately turned around and joined the fast break.

Su Tian advanced quickly with the ball. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the opponent catch up and threw the ball high. Randall, who came from behind, grabbed the ball and made a dunk.

There was a bang.

Randall succeeded in catching the ball and bumped chests with Su Tian to celebrate.

Louisville's head coach saw that the situation was not good and took the lead in calling a timeout. He originally planned to pretend to be a Zen master, but now he turned into a hair dryer and lectured the players. It seems that this Zen master is not easy to pretend.

Su Tian turned to look at Louisville's bench with a smile. This smile was very similar to the smile across from him just now.

Now, who is the hunter and who is the prey?
