king of defenders

Chapter 1439 New Directions
American Airlines Arena.

In the training arena, Meng Yun is still training.

Today's team training is over, but Meng Yun will practice extra every time. At first, the Nets players were not used to it, but now they are used to it.

Sometimes other players will stay for extra training, but they don't do extra training every time like Meng Yun. It's not that they don't work hard, it's just that their bodies don't allow it.

For example, after consecutive away games, or just after playing back-to-back games, or the last game was played hard and the physical consumption was relatively high.

For example, Anthony is in his 30s, and of course his physical fitness cannot be compared with that of young people, so he generally seldom stays for additional training because his body can't handle it.

Even Dinwiddie, Harris, LeVille and others only practice more occasionally. They don't have the physical fitness of Meng Yun, and blindly practicing more will do more harm than good.

However, Meng Yun's training today has changed a bit from the past.

Today, Meng Yun first completed the regular shooting training, and then he is constantly practicing various basketball skills, such as breakthroughs, turnaround jump shots, emergency stop jump shots, step backs, etc.
"Yes, that's it." Meng Yun made a breakthrough from beyond the three-point line, and then stepped forward and made a layup.

It seems that this movement is no different from his usual, but if you observe carefully, you will find that Meng Yun's speed is not as fast as usual, and his jump is not as high as usual, but it has a special sense of rhythm, giving people a very harmonious feeling. It feels that even though there is no defender now, you can feel that it is impossible for the defender to block the shot.

Meng Yun stopped, recalled the ball just now, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's true, combining body and technology, this is what LeBron is doing. Everyone thinks that LeBron just grows older and gradually decreases. The dependence on the body began to strengthen the use of skills. But it is not, because even a few years ago, LeBron's skills in the Heat period were already very good, but people ignored these and only focused on him. The explosive dunks and tank-style breakthroughs are shocking by his terrifying physical fitness."

"In fact, it's not that LeBron's technology has become better now, but he was already very good. Now he just improved the combination of body and technology to another level."

Body and technique, these are the two most important elements in basketball.

But anyone who knows a little bit about basketball and has some professional knowledge knows that basketball is a combination of body and technology, and both are indispensable.

However, it is not a simple matter to combine body and technology, because everyone is different, either with excellent physical talent or amazing technical talent, it is difficult to strike a balance between the two, if you want to combine technology with body It is extremely difficult to reach a very high level.

There are not no people who have done this in the history of the NBA. Jordan is definitely one, and James is also one today.

"In yesterday's game with the Lakers, I found that LeBron's way of playing is very different. He does not rely entirely on his body, nor does he blindly pursue skills, but combines the two. When he should rely on his body, he should rely on his body and technology. When you are in the game, use your skills.” Meng Yun said to himself, “Ordinary people may not be able to see the difference, thinking that LeBron’s skills have only become better. Because if you don’t reach a certain level, you won’t understand the mystery of another level. "

"I didn't realize it before, maybe it's because I haven't reached the level I'm in today."

The Nets won the game against the Lakers, but Meng Yun's harvest is far more than that. He learned a lot from James and gained a lot.

In fact, when Meng Yun's technical bottleneck broke through and reached a new level, Meng Yun began to feel a little at a loss, not knowing how to continue to improve.

Physical fitness has reached a limit, even using Xiang Long's method of "breaking through the limit" has little effect, and technology has also broken through to a new level. How can I continue to improve at this time, and what direction should I work hard towards? ?

These are the questions that bother Meng Yun.

After playing against the Lakers yesterday, Meng Yun had some insights in his heart and found the way forward.

"The next thing I want to do is to better combine my body and technology." Meng Yun said firmly.

Combining body and technology seems to be nothing, as if every player is doing this, but what Meng Yun pursues is another realm. The combination of body and technology exists for every basketball athlete, but it is really to achieve A certain height is rare.

What Meng Yun has to do is to combine the body and technology to the extreme, to reach another height, so that the body and technology can truly "complement each other" and "work smoothly".

It's like breaking through.

Meng Yun's speed is the key to a breakthrough, but in fact the breakthrough does not necessarily depend on speed, and a proper rhythm change can sometimes be better.

When Meng Yun took the first step, he could pass the defender by half a body at an extremely fast speed, and then use a change of rhythm to block the defender, which can prevent the defender from chasing in time, and can also make the opponent's Inside players cannot predict your next move.

It's simple to say, but it's not easy to do. It's far more complicated than Meng Yun directly relying on speed to break through, and after reaching the inside, relying on height and jumping to avoid defensive scoring.

But the benefits are also obvious, it will make Meng Yun's playing style more changeable, make every attack easier for him, save more physical energy, and reduce unnecessary physical confrontation.

After some training today, Meng Yun already has some experience.

After continuing to train for an hour, Meng Yun stopped, wiped his sweat, and was in a good mood: "My physical fitness has reached a limit, and my technical breakthrough has almost reached a limit. It is almost impossible to make a big breakthrough. But now I have found a new direction for improvement, which is to better integrate the body and technology."

In James, Meng Yun saw a new direction, which is to better integrate his body and technology so that he can improve himself.

Judging from today's training, the effect is not bad, but it doesn't happen overnight, and it needs long-term training and accumulation.

In the next period of time, Meng Yun is working hard in this new direction.

At the same time, the Nets are continuing their regular season journey, facing opponents one by one, and Coach Atkinson has also begun to make some adjustments to prepare for the playoffs.

Unknowingly, the record of the Nets has tied with the Heat, and the records of the two teams are the same. At this time, the Nets ushered in a game against the Heat.
