Chapter 38 Liu Han's Rhythm

The basketball summer camp jointly organized by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Mr. John Wooden officially started training with the ball after ten days of physical training.Liu Han didn't attract much attention at the beginning, but after the bullfight with Kobe Bryant, Liu Han's excellent shooting ability amazed all the young talents who came to the training camp.

While Liu Han was sweating profusely in the training camp, his former teammates Edeo Bonno, Teus Edney and George Zidyk participated in the 1995 NBA draft, in which Edeo Bonno won the The number one pick is loud, but what is surprising is that he was not selected by the New Jersey Nets until the ninth pick in the first round. The Golden State Warriors who won the top pick chose Joe Smith from the University of Maryland, and Antonio McDay was second. The third overall pick was taken by Jerry Stackhouse, and the Washington Wizards who got the fourth pick chose Rasheed Wallace. Kevin Garnett, a high school student with outstanding physical talent, was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was also the first high school player under the age of 20 to enter the NBA draft.Liu Han’s teammate, George Zidek, was selected by Charlotte until No.20 in the first round. Teus Edney was not selected by the Sacramento Kings until No.18 in the second round because of his height. , Although the Bruins won the NCAA championship this year, the players who participated in the NBA draft are not ideal.

Liu Han didn't pay much attention to this year's NBA draft. His attention is now focused on this summer camp with many young talents. Liu Han, who has lived in the United States for nearly a year, has grown by two centimeters and gained weight After weighing two kilograms, Liu Han's body can basically adapt to more intense confrontation after receiving professional guidance from UCLA University coaches and LaBeouf's boxing training.

The time has entered mid-July, and the training of the summer camp has finally shifted from physical training to training with the ball. The training that starts at [-] o'clock every morning is aimed at the basic basketball movements of these young players, correcting some of their irregular movements and teaching some of these Young people need a lot of games to gain experience, because there are a large number of players participating in the training, the coach needs to train the players in a targeted manner according to each person's different positions and technical characteristics, so in the initial training with the ball The shortcomings of insufficient coaching.

"John, now there is a problem. Our original arrangement did not take into account that so many players will come, so now the number of coaches is insufficient, and the funds are limited, so I wonder if you can find some experienced coaches." Kareem-Jabbar asks his mentor for help.

"Well, this is indeed a problem. Well, I will try my best to help you find it, and I hope I can find it as soon as possible." John Wooden also hopes to make this training camp more successful, so that there will be more players in the future Come and participate. Once this training camp can gain a lot of fame in the future, it can be held frequently, which is beneficial to UCLA and sponsors.

The first thing Mr. John Wooden thought of was George Clent, who had just returned from vacation in Hawaii, and he knew that George would definitely agree to help.

George Krent, who won the NCAA championship in the first season of his coaching, went directly to Hawaii for vacation after the end of the season. The tense game made George feel physically and mentally exhausted. He wanted to take a vacation to relax his spirit. After receiving a call from Mr. John Wooden, George readily agreed to Mr. Wooden's request, and brought Mr. Wooden a coach——Li Rui, who was also on vacation.Li Rui's tenure at Inglewood High School was very successful. His sincerity and ability were recognized by all the players. He was also very happy after learning that he could participate in this summer camp. Li Rui has always attached great importance to Liu Han.

"Hey George, no formal congratulations yet, a successful season, how about Hawaii? Have an affair, seriously, time for you to find a nice girl to take care of your life, coach time It's not always enough." Li Rui, who came to the training hall together, said to George Clent.

"Thank you, Li, Hawaii is very good, but it's getting a little sunburnt. I still prefer to stay in the arena, at least with air conditioning." The training camp that found enough coaches through the help of Mr. John Wooden officially started training, and it was still arranged in the morning. In the afternoon, there will be a confrontation match between players. The training camp has officially started, but Liu Han is now facing an embarrassing situation.

In the confrontation match, Liu Han’s position on the field became more awkward. He is now 1.9 meters five and weighs 87 kilograms. He is suitable for playing a shooting guard, but many players in the training camp are in this position or small forwards, and Letting Liu Han play shooting guard is a waste of his excellent shooting ability. If the ball can be controlled in Liu Han's hands, then coupled with his excellent shooting ability and good breakthrough and passing, it will be a A big killer on the field, but now Liu Han's ball control is very standard, but it always gives people a sluggish feeling, lacking his own rhythm and grasp of the situation on the field, and he has not yet learned how to be on the field Going forward and using his breakthrough technology reasonably, the current Liu Han is like a martial arts man with a hundred years of profound internal strength, but no means of killing.

"Mr. Jabbar, I think what Liu Han needs most now is a large number of games. He should be allowed to experience the rhythm in the game, so as to learn how to control the game situation on the field. If possible, I hope to arrange Liu Han in the afternoon. At the point guard position in training, let him cooperate with these players with different characteristics, and also limit his shots on the three-point line. In addition, I think we should find an experienced point guard to teach him some experience and technology." Li Rui is the most familiar with Liu Han, and he very much hopes that Liu Han can walk more smoothly in the future.

"Li, I know you attach great importance to Liu, but the current training win is not set up just for him alone. I consider the progress of more people, but I think the previous thing you mentioned can be arranged. As for the special search An experienced point guard to help Liu Han, please forgive me for being powerless, if I find a special training for Liu Han alone, I think other players will also hope to have such a person to help themselves.” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not completely Agree with Li Rui's opinion, but he still attaches great importance to Liu Han.

Liu Han began to receive point guard training in the following training, and his training every morning gradually began to focus on passing skills and breakthrough skills. Liu Han received LaBeouf's boxing training before the training camp started. , This makes him accept the technical training of point guards very quickly, and Liu Han's talent also allows him to grow rapidly in such training.

During the training in the afternoon, the players participating in the training camp were divided into five teams according to their respective positions and technical characteristics. The lineup of these five teams is not fixed, but will change at any time. Liu Han needs to be in each team. Lidu served as point guard.In each 10-minute confrontation, Liu Han needs to cooperate with all the players with different technical characteristics and personalities, and according to the coach's requirements, he can only take four shots from outside the three-point line in each game. The loser at the end of the game needs to be punished and do push-ups according to the score difference.

In the first match, Liu Han often needed to do more than [-] push-ups in one afternoon, because he hardly knew how to organize offense and defense. Fortunately, Liu Han had Li Rui who paid close attention to him. With coach George Krent, during the rest time at the end of each game, Liu Han spent the game analysis by Li Rui and George. These two coaches with a lot of experience gave Liu Han the performance on the field Analyze the characteristics of each player, and tell him how to cooperate with such a player, what kind of pass each player needs, and when he needs to break through on the field.At the beginning, these young people who participated in the training were gloating about Liu Han's need to continuously participate in the competition, but later they found that Liu Han began to become stronger in this constant push-up, and they began to envy Liu Han for such treatment .

Kobe Bryant, who has always been dissatisfied with Liu Han, was a little happy at the beginning that Liu Han needed to keep doing push-ups, but he found that when Liu Han began to mature in the confrontation match, he felt that the coach was a bit biased .After a strong request, Kobe Bryant also began to participate in the non-stop competition. He hopes to catch up with and surpass Liu Han as soon as possible.

Liu Han gradually began to find his own rhythm in such a large number of games, and his dribbling and breakthrough became more and more proficient. In addition, his height of 1.9 meters [-] has the advantage of the position of point guard. Although his passing is not so good There is aura, but he can already organize the offense by distributing the ball reasonably.

Liu Han performed better and better in the confrontation games in the training camp. He began to form his own style. His dribbling is not fancy, and his unpretentious movements can always be achieved through reasonable changes of direction and behind the dribble or under the crotch. Dribble to avoid the opponent's defense. With the ball in hand and gradually rich experience, Liu Han's shooting power becomes even greater, because defensive players not only need to guard against Liu Han's breakthrough and pass, but also pay more attention to Liu Han The sky-defying three-pointer.
