: 21. About the pick-and-roll thing

When Liu Mang came to the training ground, he found that Muhammad had arrived and was practicing free throws.
"Nazr, you came too early!" Liu Mang asked in surprise, and then he was a little guilty. He was obviously someone he had appointed, and he came even later.
"Haha, I don't have the talent for shooting like Ice. I want to practice more so that my free throws don't get so bad, and I won't be defeated by shark-cutting tactics!" Muhammad laughed, not caring if he was Not first.
Is indeed an inspirational player who has improved from less than 5 minutes of playing time in the rookie season to now holding a big contract to stabilize the main power forward!
Liu Mang remembers that Mohammed was the lowest free throw shooter in the team. It was the only team in the team whose free throw percentage was below 50%.
Thinking of Liu Mang was a little ashamed. Others Muhammad was already working hard with high-paying iron hits, but after he got the system, he was thinking about how to rely on the system.
The system also made it clear that because this body is too thin, many of the system ’s abilities cannot be used to 100%. Even if it is impossible to practice shooting in the current season, at least you have to work hard to make your body stronger. Physical fitness is a little more full, although there is no playing time at the moment, it is no problem to go up for a few minutes, but the salted fish also has a dream to turn over, right?
After criticizing himself, Liu Mang changed his training uniform and warmed up with the help of the team trainer.
The team was also sad when training, and had to come to work early in the morning. Kobe ’s trainers are said to be more desperate ... but the team paid, the salary was so high ...
……
Although Muhammad is not a big power forward, he is only 2.08 meters tall, but has always been known for his toughness, sturdy style, and no outside shooting. He has played 4 three-pointers in three years, including two It was forced to throw in the last few seconds of a single quarter, once was a 24-second fast-cooking pot, once was actually receiving a buzzer lore, of course, no lore was successful.
The mid-range distance also basically does not shoot, the shooting range is within the three seconds area, and the shooting rate is not high, most of the scores are actually from the free throws caused by opponents who rushed to rebound, because he is very good at rushing to rebound Time to make up the basket directly.
Muhammad is very good in pick-and-roll. He is strong and solid, and he has a strong athletic ability to cut into the basket quickly.
According to Liu Mang's observation while sitting on the cold bench, the Hawks can only be considered as good. Among them, the best pick-and-roll is Muhammad. It is probably the best option to practice pick-and-roll with him.
"Ais, look, I help you to block your opponent. The opponent has only three options. The first situation is that the opponent switches defenses. In this case, I immediately take the opponent's small man to the basket, and you can play small, you can A breakthrough can also be a shameless foul ... Cough, it's not that Ace is shameless, this is your advantage, you must use more! "
"The second situation is that the other party has spared me. It may be squeezed in front of me, or it may be around me, and the big man intercepted in the back, so that you do n’t have to completely pick and roll, directly from the front of me. A breakthrough can face the other big man. I can help you to block the small man who has spared me and I want to go back. You can play the power forward opposite the singles. "
"The third situation is that they retreat to defend, so you can directly shoot a three-pointer. Our two offensive threats are not big, and the opponents can't look down on them. The opponent can't use three people to defend us ..."
Muhammad is very enthusiastic, and the character is also very straight, what to say, and then he laughed twice when he found that he was wrong, Liu Mang felt congested, sometimes do n’t always tell the truth!
But a person with a straight personality has a very good advantage, that is, it is easy to think of everything and simplify many things.
For example, Muhammad, he wants to succeed, and then the goal of his efforts is to first use his vitality advantage, rush to the rebound, make up the basket, do a good defense, without thinking too much else.
The pick-and-roll is so simple in Muhammad's worldview. There is really no way to give the ball to Jason Terry or Rahim. Why bother thinking so much.
Although Liu Mang may only have one or two offensive opportunities to hold the ball once in a game, there may be one or two games that require him to hold the ball for pick-and-roll or not even once, Liu Mang is still very serious in contact, Muhan Mu De also accompanied Liu Mang to practice very seriously.
The pick-and-roll thing seems simple, but it depends on talent. Whether it is the pick-and-roll player or the pick-and-roll player, like the future super center Howard, from rookie to peak to decline, I will never learn to pick and roll, and Mu Hammud's talent is far inferior to Howard, but the pick and roll is very good.
Whether the ball holder can borrow the pick-and-roll is also a talent. It requires a good grasp of the timing. This kind of thing can be learned, but it is difficult. The best thing in NBA history is Stockton. .
Liu Mang's sense of pick-and-roll ... Sincerely, it is a little difficult to create a pick-and-roll opportunity completely. Even if two trainers defend, he may not be able to make a good pass.
Speed ​​is barely okay. The speed of 84 is really average for NBA point guards. Power forwards like Garnett are about the same speed.
The main thing is confrontation, the strength is too weak, Liu Mang asked about his strength at 53, no wonder even Iverson can knock himself away.
Liu Mang finally felt how fierce the NBA's confrontation was from the fan directly to the person who played on the field. His strength may be enough in college. Playing amateur players can even crush many people, but in the NBA, It's too bad, even a trainer can't squeeze it out, although that trainer is a little fat ...
"Hoo ... exhausted."
After practicing three or four groups, almost two hours passed, and it was almost lunch time. Liu Mang and Mohammed planned to take a break to eat a nutritious meal in the cafeteria. That stuff was unpalatable, but not money! And nutrition is absolutely top!
Seeing Liu Mang as mud, Muhammad laughed and said: "Haha, Ais, your physical fitness is too poor. In the summer, you need to train your muscles, so you do n’t need it now, so you do n’t lose your feel. Why? So, continue in the afternoon or rest? "
"Continue, I will not believe it! I will not shake the old man Molong!" Liu Mang clearly laughed.
"Um ... huh ... Although I am Moron-Willi is an old man ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but it's okay to deal with Ace you rookie!" The fat trainer said while panting.
Moron Willie is not a famous character in the NBA, but a very small character in the 80s and 90s, and even for a whole career of seven or eight years, the money he made has not been added up to the rookie contract of Liu Mang. It ’s big, but it ’s a second-round show that has been in the NBA for so long. There are still two brushes. Even if he retires five or six years and becomes a fat man, he is also a flexible fat man.
Since Moron Willy's "peak period" was able to get 5 points and 3 assists during the two years he spent in the Hawks as a substitute. After retiring, he found a job in the Eagles as a trainer and was responsible for guiding the players. training.
In the ridicule of Muhammad and Moron-Willie, Liu Mang and the two together with another vocational trainer went to the bath to wash away the sweat, then went to lunch, and took a break to continue training in the afternoon. During the game, I just played back to back. The team did not arrange training. Not everyone has unlimited motivation like Muhammad, nor is every player as good as Liu Mang as a rookie.
Of course, last year's Hawks' first round No. 6 show Demar Johnson ... Mohammed also mentioned him, saying that he was called to the training result and he didn't come.
Seeing that even Muhammad, a good old man, was a bit unhappy. DeMar Johnson released pigeons. Liu Mang felt that he should pay more attention to his teammates' emotions. He should not be too ego, but he was a post-80s! Not the post-90s of the last world! Can't be capricious!
Actually the most important thing ... I don't have that capital to be wayward, at least now, I don't have the qualification of that waywardness ... If one day becomes a superstar, Liu Mang said that he will be wayward from morning to night!
