From sparring to superstar

Chapter 46 45. The hook

Li Ao's reaction softened Jabbar's cold tone: "You should know that your explosive power and bullet speed are far behind Sam. I chose him because he has explosive muscles. It’s wrong to compete with him in this regard.”

It made sense, but Li Ao still found the point: "Didn't you tell me to shoot in that position, not to retreat, not to turn around and go to the basket?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar asked back: "What angle is the only angle for your hook? After picking up the ball, the pivot foot is fixed, and your upper body is paralyzed?"

angle!

Li Ao thought of a picture, and muttered to himself: "Yes, McHale sometimes hooks his upper arm to the back of his head...but I can't shoot from that angle."

"I didn't let you shoot. I just let you shoot. It's your own thing to practice shooting. I just teach you how to shoot the ball."

"It seems to be ha..." Li Ao remembered what Kevin Henderson said, and said: "Technology is for shooting and is used to create shooting opportunities."

Children can be taught!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was in a good mood, also pointed out to Sam Clancy: "Defense is not for blocking shots. You must carefully observe the opponent's shooting habits. It is a very good defense that allows the opponent to shoot with unaccustomed movements."

Sam Clancy nodded, didn't understand much, but felt that it made sense.

Li Ao also nodded when he heard the words.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't expect that it was Li Ao who learned what he taught Sam Clancy...

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar continued to say to Li Ao: "You shot very stupidly just now, but your confrontation ability is better than I thought. I wanted to teach you how to control your body and throw the ball steadily when you are not as good as the opponent. Now it seems that this step can be skipped, I judge, unless your height is several centimeters taller than yours, otherwise your confrontation will be enough."

Li Ao raised his hand, there is a problem.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar pursed his lips, then nodded helplessly to signal Li Ao to speak quickly.

"What if I happen to meet an opponent who is several centimeters taller than me?"

Why is this child intermittently mentally retarded again?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar snorted and said, "Why do you have to hook an opponent who is several centimeters taller than you? I wouldn't even hook an opponent who is several centimeters taller than me."

"That's because you're taller than everyone, there's no one you can't hook with."

"That's right! I'm tall, but you're not as tall as me! I'm teaching you to hook, not to teach you to hook like me."

After saying a word, Jabbar calmed down and continued his indifferent tone: "The hook is to let you shoot at the closest distance and the farthest away from the defender under the basket.

I heard that you are very talented in long-distance shooting. If you encounter an opponent who is much taller than you, you should look for mid-range shooting opportunities and cut-in opportunities. They are much higher than you, and most of them are slower than you. Should do that, create better offensive conditions for teammates, you can't shoot all the time.

Now start training again, you have to remember your basic hook movements, inside scoring is different from mid-range shots, no matter what the situation is, you must try to ensure the stability of your movements, so that you can play your hook level in training, Sam you..."

Seeing Sam Clancy's clear and stupid eyes, Kareem knew that what he just said to this guy might be in vain.

He paused and continued: "Your goal is to block his shot and prevent him from successfully throwing the ball to the basket."

It's time to abuse this guy again, Sam Clancy nodded heavily, full of passion!
Li Ao also regained his energy and started training.

With Kareem's guidance, he knows how to practice.

Different from before, in this training, every time Li Ao finished his vote, Jabbar would come up to point out the shortcomings, and give appropriate hints, focusing on guidance.

Someone's intermittent mental retardation did not recur, and Kareem met a student who knew a little bit, and taught more vigorously.

The student slapped him from time to time, but he resolutely responded.

Li Ao was very happy to learn, and the onlookers gradually became bored and began to disperse, so they had to hurry up and train.

The newcomers, tall, rich and handsome, have invited Tiangou to teach, and that attitude of hard work is bound to make greater progress.

They also have to work hard.

Only Brusenthal, who is eager to improve his inside skills, is on the outside for teaching guidance.

Henry Bibby didn't leave either, and continued to watch outside the door. He was extremely surprised now.

This university senior actually talks more and more!
That kid is fucking talented!
...

Time always flies when you study hard.

When the bell rang at 11 o'clock, Abdul-Jabbar immediately stopped teaching, didn't say anything, just picked up the thermos and left.

Li Ao hasn't learned enough, and his heart is itchy, but the other party is willing to teach him for two hours, which is already a good thing that others can't ask for, so don't be too greedy.

Besides, he feels that there are a lot of things that can be summed up. If he continues to practice more, what he remembers at the beginning may be forgotten.

Sam Clancy defended against Li Ao's continuous strikes today, which is also very cool.

It's a pity that it became more and more difficult to get it later, otherwise it would be even more enjoyable.

He wanted to say a few words and shake his prestige.

But that guy didn't give him a chance, he just stood there for a while and then ran away!

He is so sorry!
Lost an opportunity to brag in front of that nasty guy!
Li Ao didn't go to the bathroom, but ran all the way to the property office.

On the other side, in the real estate office, the old man who was guarding the keys on the wall is in a very complicated mood now.

He felt that his "hook initiation coach" status was about to be taken away!
Originally, he planned to show the video to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and let Kareem Abdul-Jabbar draw up a training method.

But he just wants to teach by himself, and he only intends to teach for a few days, and he doesn't want videos or anything, he has to watch it for himself... He can only reluctantly hand over the teaching work.

After teaching for so long, I also have feelings. From the fun at the beginning, to the teaching guidance with a strong purpose, now he really hopes that Li Ao can go further on the road of basketball.

Before he knew it, he had entrusted his youthful dreams to Li Ao.

But he couldn't control his lost emotions. He planned to go to the Trojans training ground after the teaching time that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said was over, but now a few minutes had passed, and he still didn't want to get up...

Suddenly, a sweaty man rushed in, startling him!
Just when this person was about to hit him, he slammed on the brakes and narrowly missed him, but the inertia drove sweat and splashed his face.

The old man took a closer look, it was Li Ao!
After Li Ao stopped, he first went to get a disposable paper cup, went to the water dispenser, took a glass of water and drank it, and said: "McHale, you are so cool! You even found the sky hook, amazing But his teaching is too stream-of-consciousness, and his preparation is not as good as yours. His hook ability is strong, but his teaching is far behind you...

It's more fun to learn from you. Learning from him is only learning. I think if you just study hooks for decades, your understanding of hooks is no worse than him. If you don't teach me yourself, you are worried. You haven't played professional games, so what you teach doesn't apply? "

After listening to the old man, he was in a good mood instantly!

"Yes, I am very good at hooks, but I am an amateur after all. The game I play is definitely different from the game you play. If I teach you by myself, you may make a lot of detours, so I found a hooker on a professional court. A master who is at the same level as me in the amateur field will teach you."

"Foresight! Oh, I'm hungry, I'm going to have lunch first, I'll take a break later, I have team training in the afternoon, I have to squeeze in time for extra training, and the training plan for the next 4 days has to be adjusted, I'll go first gone."

"You boy wait for me! I even found the skyhook for you, will you invite me for lunch?"

"I'm going to eat a hamburger, you eat that too?"

"Why can't I eat a hamburger? When I was young, I was busy with work and often ate fast food. I haven't eaten a hamburger for a long time."

"Okay, I'll take a shower first, I'm smelly from sweat, I'll see you in 20 minutes."

Li Ao came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help sighing that it's good to be young!
Suddenly, he remembered something, and looked down at his overalls, there were water stains on them!
Vaco!The kid splashed sweat all over him!

He hurried to the bathroom to wash his face, change his clothes, and prepare to eat.

...

The arrival of the skyhook made the coaching staff of the Trojans adjust the training schedule.

However, this has little impact on the team's training itself, and only Li Ao himself is affected a little more.

His time in the next few days will become more compact. He will go to the Memorial Stadium for strength training at 8 o'clock in the morning. He will receive Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's guidance at 9 o'clock. From 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, there will be two hours of meal + rest time, and he will start with the team at 2 o'clock. Training, after the team training ends at 4:5, additional training starts at 7:[-] and leaves at [-]:[-].

Nearly half of the day was soaked in Memorial Stadium.

Although the teammates' team training arrangements were not greatly affected, they were also encouraged by the arrival of the sky hook, and the momentum of the whole team's efforts became more fierce.

Time always flies when you work hard.

In a flash, it was January 1th.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's last day of hook teaching and teaching ended. He picked up the thermos and took a sip. However, unlike the previous 4 days, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Ao.

"If you have any questions about the hook, call me."

Li Ao nodded and looked at the business card... "Vice President of the California Yoga Association? Uh, Karim, you took your wife's business card by mistake? No, it's your name..."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar originally had a few words of encouragement, but immediately turned around and left.

He regretted it, so he shouldn't have left his contact information!
But these few days of teaching are really enjoyable. The students are talented, have a strong comprehension ability, learn very fast, and can remember what they have learned. Even the details of every technical movement can be done well, which makes him love it. heart of.

As for this student's intermittent mental retardation, it's also quite interesting.

Few people can go on and on every day under his cold and unreasonable attitude, and it often makes him mood swings and wants to hit people.

He has also talked more these days, probably more than last year.

When walking out of the training ground, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Henry Bibby said a few words, said goodbye and left without looking back.

He had a good relationship with Henry Bibby when he was a senior, because the latter ran for the captain when he entered the school team, and he succeeded. He actively led the team, which saved him a lot of troubles when he didn't like to communicate with his teammates.

Watching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar pass through the long and narrow gym, open the door and leave, Henry Bibby turned his head to look at Li Ao who continued to practice hooks, his scalp was numb.

In just a few days, this kid really learned how to hook!

On the first day, the skyhook teaching content is to find shooting opportunities in the confrontation with the pivot foot fixed.

The teaching content on the second day is to face the basket with your back and use your turn to create shooting opportunities.

The teaching content on the third day, after receiving the ball, use the non-shooting hand to limit the defender's oppression, connect and turn around to create shooting space.

The teaching content on the fourth day, the two steps that can be moved by grabbing the ball after using the good luck ball, added skills such as stepping after turning around, and moving laterally.

In 4 days, this kid learned the basic technique training method of hook!

Today, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not teach anything else. He was checking Li Ao's learning results and correcting some details.

This means that what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wants to teach this time has been taught in the first 4 days!
From Xavier Johnson, Henry Bibby learned that Li Ao has learned a very complete method of training the basic skills of the hook, and now he has also learned the basic skills of using the hook.

How long has it been?
And as far as he knew about Tiangou, although there was a little accident in Tiangou's teaching plan on the first day, the following teaching plans were definitely made with the hope that this kid would never finish his studies.

This kid actually finished his studies ahead of schedule!
The talent is too good to be unreasonable!

After Li Ao practiced several sets of hook skills, the time came to 11:[-].

After finishing training, he used a fascia gun to relax his muscles. After he stopped sweating like crazy, he hurried to take a shower. He made an appointment with the old man to eat fast food at 12 o'clock. The old man said he wanted to eat fried chicken and French fries today. .

Old child, old child, Li Ao feels that the old man is the old child in the legend, eating those snacks, the addiction is greater than him!Been eating fast food for lunch for the past 4 days.

He felt that he had to take it easy in this aspect. After the meal today, he would wait a while before ordering again. After all, the old man was already so old, so he had to pay attention to his diet.

However, he didn't eat much fast food these days, and the several nutritious meals provided by the coaching staff every day made him not interested in any food... It's really disgusting.

While taking a bath and rubbing bubbles, he turned on the system and entered the training module.

There are a few more icons in it, the most eye-catching one is "Basic Hook Technique Training Method Level 4". There is a stickman next to him. After he puts his attention on it, the stickman becomes bigger. When he thinks about turning around, the stickman does it. He made a back-to-back, turn-and-hook movement that meets his own conditions, and there are reminders of the details of the movements during training, guidance on exertion, and so on.

"Basic hook technique training method level 4, when the host conducts basic hook technique training, an additional 80% of the training results will be obtained."

As expected of a Skyhook, it is one-third stronger than the old man!
