Chapter 93: 3 feet and 3 seconds

　　 Passing is the most basic technique in basketball offense. After becoming the team's assistant coach, Leon has always attached great importance to the team's passing training. However, when O'Brien was in charge of the team, he asked the players to improve the speed and accuracy of passing, so in training the team had a lot of four-corner pass practice and fast pass training around the pile. However, Leon believes that in the absence of a way to ensure that each player has sufficient passing talent, one-sided attempts to rely on repeated training to improve the overall passing level of the team is a behavior with little effect.
　　 Of course, he did not get O'Brien's appreciation for his training plan and principles, and then O'Brien dismissed get out of class. During Carroll’s time in charge, Leon continued to maintain his past training method of passing the ball, but emphasized the detailed practice of short passes and small-range passes. He knew that this team did not have a real team. Passing master, and it seems difficult to have a passing master in the short term. Their offense has become simple and rude, and they often complete offenses by the players alone after small cooperation, which depends on the players' extremely high offensive talent.
　　 Walker, Reid, Pierce, Johnson, Arenas, each of them has the strength or potential to score 20 points, but no one can raise their assists to 5. But this does not mean that they will not be good passers. In Leon’s plan, he does not expect to have a master of court control like Jason Kidd, but hopes that everyone can participate in the pass. The ball came, so in the morning training on the 2nd, Leon officially started the passing training he designed.
"From now on, I ask every player to keep the two principles in your mind when passing the ball. I believe that you have experienced many years of college basketball training and professional basketball. Many of the basic techniques and details of the game have a deep understanding, but training and learning never stop. The focus of many techniques is not on the understanding of the mind, but on the habits of the body. We must deeply plant some basic habits. Get into your subconscious mind and motor nerve cells. Gilbert, Joe, Michael, Milt, come here, stand here." Before the training started, Leon put Arenas, Michael Reid, and Mill Te Palacio and Joe Johnson called near the middle circle and asked them to participate in the pass training exercise.
The four came out of the line, wearing black training uniforms, Leon threw the basketball in his hand to Arenas, and then said to the three people: "Joe, now you are standing on the center line and you cannot cross this center line. . Gilbert, you come here with the ball and stand in the free throw circle. This is your range of motion. Michael and Palacio, the range of motion of the two of you is not restricted. Stand the four of you, Gil Bert returned the ball to me."
Arenas passed the ball back to Leon, Leon holding the ball and then said: "I will pass the ball to Arenas later, from the time I pass the ball to his hand, he will be within three seconds Nei passed the ball into Johnson's hands. Johnson could not cross the center line, and Arenas could not make a free throw circle. Pay attention to the bright spot, do not allow to throw the ball in the backcourt, and then let Johnson return to chase, I Will call you offside; it is not allowed to give up defense against Arenas to double-team Johnson. This is a defensive violation... Reed and Palacio are responsible for the defense. At the beginning, you must be about 4 feet, 4 feet away from them. , Yes, step back three quarters of the distance Michael."
Leon has such a strong sense of distance, he can see with his eyes that Reed and Palacio are now standing 4 feet away from Joe Johnson and Arenas, and they are slightly After the fine-tuning, Leon nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Remember, you only have three seconds. Okay, let's get started..."
After speaking, Leon passed the ball to Arenas. The 6-foot-1 point guard Palacio "boomed" like a frog. Arenas only had I observed Johnson's position in a fraction of a second, and he was also entangled by Reid. But Arenas took a step back with the dribble before Palacio pressed it up, and then threw the ball towards Johnson with one hand. A high toss, expect Johnson to get rid of Reid's entanglement and catch the ball in the air. It's a pity that Johnson is not as strong as Reid in terms of jumping, and he is not as strong as Reid. Reid squeezed Johnson and robbed the ball.
　　 "Beep!" Leon blew his whistle, and three seconds later, he didn't even bring his watch. He took the ball back from Reid and said, "It's okay, we continue.
Saying that he threw the ball to Arenas again, and repeated it four times. Finally, for the fourth time, Arenas hit the ground at the moment Palacio just pounced after receiving the ball. The pass went to his left, and Johnson pretended to walk to his left, and then turned to the right after a fake action. Finally, he got rid of Reid's defense slightly and received Arenas' pass. It succeeded.
　　 "Oh! It's a little harder than I thought, but it doesn't seem to bother me." After Arenas successfully passed the ball, he felt as if he had found the trick, and his self-confidence expanded again. He also stepped forward and gave Johnson a high-five to celebrate.
　　 "Tell me Gilbert, what's the trick?" Leon asked Arenas.
　　 "The trick is speed, and tacit understanding, passing the ball must be fast, and then having a tacit understanding with teammates."
　　 Leon said nothing about this. He stepped forward and patted Palacio on the shoulder to let him go down and rest for a while, then beckoned to Dennis Rodman and said, "Dennis, guard against one."
　　 Rodman took off his sports jacket, walked roughly four feet away from Arenas, and moved a small step back under Leon's guidance. Once the best defensive player in the NBA stood in front of Arenas. He was also a little worried about his self-confidence. He didn't know what kind of pressing defense Rodman would offer. Arenas had already done a quick job. Preparation of the ball.
"Okay, get ready..." Leon said and passed the ball to Arenas again. Arenas was highly concentrated, and Rodman was ready to withdraw to press him. He was thinking about it. Li has already outlined several passes for the ball, and he is still observing Joe Johnson's expression, and the two are making eye contact.
But when he got the ball, Rodman didn't push him up. Instead, he stepped back two steps and stood eight feet away from Arenas, spread his limbs, and covered Arenas like a spider web. before. Arenas hesitated for a second. He found that the pass line he designed was likely to be interfered by Rodman's limbs. It seemed that there was only one way to high toss, but the previous pass proved that high toss would only be robbed by Reed. .
　　 "Beep beep!" Leon's whistle sounded again, three seconds have passed, and the ball is still in Arenas' hands. Rodman did not press close as he expected, but took a step back and stood closer to the midpoint between Johnson and Arenas, blocking the possible passing route between the two. In this way, Rodman doesn't need to mark people at all, because Arenas and Johnson are fixed in the circle and the other is fixed on the line. In three seconds, there is nowhere to run. This is the skill of the best defensive player.
"OK, Gilbert, I can tell you, according to Dennis’s defensive strategy just now, you don’t even want to pass ten balls. Everyone sees that it’s not that the closer the defensive player is to you, the more you pass. Difficult, the farther away you are, the easier your pass will be. Sometimes on the contrary, when the defender is closer to you, your chances of passing the ball will be greater, because he is too close to you and he has no energy to take care of it. Your passing line and the receiver, his eyes are only you and the ball, when the ball is not there, he will get nothing. Therefore, I want to tell everyone the first principle of passing is, when the defender is three miles away from you Feet is the best time for you to pass the ball. At this time, the defender can get the shortest reaction time~EbookFREE.me~ Leon said, walked to the court, stood on the sideline and collapsed towards the court. Took a step, and then put a basketball on the foot that stepped out.
　　 "The distance from the sideline to the basketball here is three feet. Everyone is in pairs, stand on both sides, and feel the distance of three feet." The three feet given by Leon is basically the same as measured by a ruler. All the players grouped in pairs to feel the distance of three feet. In the days of training, Leon will keep mentioning the distance of three feet. He can judge the distance between two people by measuring with his eyes. The players will be extremely sensitive to this distance.
After finishing the three-foot estimation, Leon continued: "In addition to three feet, I also require Arenas to pass the ball within three seconds. When we pass fast enough, leave it to the opponent. The fewer opportunities for defensive adjustments and changes, I believe this is clear to everyone. So how do we increase the speed of passing, improve our reaction speed, improve the degree of tacit understanding or improve passing skills? Sorry, these are all It’s a basic subject, something we’ve been practicing since the first day of training. Today I’m going to emphasize still distance. This is the second rule I want to emphasize. In half-court offense, never let you get closest His teammates are more than 20 feet, or close to 15 feet. This distance is the key to ensuring that you can play the ball quickly without making mistakes."
　　 After hearing what Leon said, Dennis Rodman couldn't help covering his mouth and snickered, "Isn't this just a triangle attack."
Leon took a look at Rodman, as if he had heard him, and said: "No, it's not a triangle attack, because we won't have a deployment line~EbookFREE.me~ Welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest, The hottest serial works are all at ~EbookFREE.me~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
