Vol 3 Chapter 379: The guidance of the old senior

After playing for half an hour, Reggie Miller replaced An Luo and took him to another court.
"Ann, let's go one to one!"
This made An Luo couldn't help being stunned. But then he got excited! Who is Reggie Miller? For countless people who pay attention to NBA, I am afraid that few will not know it! In this league, in addition to Kobe, the person Anlo admires most is not the invincible Jordan, but this looking thin guy.
When it comes to this, people always think of a word: Miller moment.
On May 7, 1995, the Pacers and the Knicks played the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals. At the time, the Pacers trailed the Knicks by 6 points, and there were only 18.7 seconds left in the game. Judging by ordinary people, the Pacers will undoubtedly die, but Miller broke this routine. He first made a three-pointer, then interrupted the ball from the Knicks in the frontcourt, scored from a long shot, and tied the score 105:105. Since then, the Pacers fouled and the Knicks missed two free throws. Miller got a rebound and forced the Knicks to foul. He made both free throws. Then the Knicks Ewing failed to kill, the Pacers narrowly beat the opponent by 2 points.
Game 5 of the 1994 Pacers' Eastern Conference finals with New York. Miller scored 25 points in a single quarter, including five three-pointers. After making the last three-pointer, Miller made a famous choke action against Spike Lee to demonstrate. In the last minute of the sixth game of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, Jordan was pushed aside, cleanly handed off, and sentenced to death for the most pleasing opponent...
He is like a stick, doesn't run fast, and doesn't jump high, but as long as the ball is connected to the three-point line at the last minute, his opponent should know that he is going to die again. This is Reggie Miller.
In this money-first alliance, very few people can survive in a city. Reggie Miller is one of them. It can be said that throughout the 1990s, Indiana did not have the term Pacers, only the "Reggie Miller" team.
Perhaps because of Larry Bird’s phrase "I and this city need you." Reggie Miller chose to stay in Indiana for 18 years! At first, no one recognized him. When David Stern announced that the Pacers had selected Reggie Miller from the 11th overall pick, Pacers general manager Downey Walsh suddenly buzzed around. However, Miller finally wore the Pacers' No. 31 jersey, which opened the Pacers' rise in that era.
In the beginning, Anluo chose to use three-pointers as his ability to gain a foothold in this league, largely because of Reggie Miller. Of course, part of the blame can be attributed to the more suitable shooting scorers in this era.
In that era when almost all perimeter players used to charge and trap as their offensive means, and to score at the basket, Miller was really a very special existence. He raised a shooter's off-ball running attack to an incredible height. Running frantically, hurriedly shot from all angles, pushing away the opponent's arms and using the reaction force to stumble all the way to the bottom corner, catching the ball and shooting long...
Of course, the Pacers at that time, under the guidance of Larry Brown, were as non-mainstream as their head star Reggie Miller. They were the team that relied on off-ball screens, bottom line crosses, quick shots, defensive team communication, and precise control of each 24-second process in the 90s. Because when they need to play singles with the ball, they can only think of Smiths' back jumper. Their survival depends on defense, Schmitz's mid-range shot, Davis's death fight in the penalty area, and Miller who never stops jumping. They are the team with the weirdest mental state in those years: relying on Miller's one three-pointer, they can suddenly wake up from their lifelessness.
Reggie Miller has never won a championship, never won an mvp, never won a scoring champion, and the highest glory is only the third team in the best team. Even his record of 2560 three-pointers was broken by Ray Allen on February 11, 2011. However, this does not obliterate his greatness. Reggie Miller will always be An Luo's most capable three-point shooter. Even Lei Allen, who had experienced the end of that iron-blooded age, was worse.
Of course, anyone will get old. Therefore, in this one-on-one match, Anluo won by an absolute advantage. However, he was not happy about it. After all, the guy in front of me is over 50 years old! But he still felt a lot of pressure. All kinds of small moves in defense, trash talk, annoyed An Luo very much. On the offensive end, the opponent's back-to-back singles, various hidden elbows and collisions made Anluo hard to defend. An Luo has always known that these are all part of the game. But this old guy who smashed the alliance in the 1990s still opened An Luo's eyes.
"Listen, basketball has never been a gentleman's sport! Of course, you can become very elegant off the court. But on the court, you have to think of yourself as a wolf, fierce and bloodthirsty."
"Your shooting is great! If you have been playing next to Russell, it will be enough. But you are still young, and one day you will carry a team by yourself. Feeling this thing can't always be good. When you can’t score by shooting, you have to have other scoring methods. Back-up singles, low-post offense, including the ball into the basket. All of these, you are still far away!"
"The defense is not fierce enough! I know that the current league wind has undergone a lot of changes~EbookFREE.me~ But within the rules, there are still many allowed things that can help you improve the deterrence of defense. For example, covert small moves, garbage Words. Remember, when the opponent is attacking like me, you can..."
...
Reggie Miller is a good teacher. He did not comment on An Luo's shooting. For any top shooter, his own style and shooting feel are the most important. On this point, An Luo had no problems at all. He talked more about some skills in the game. This is very helpful to the current An Luo.
An Luo felt that he was lucky. He met teammates like Westbrook and Paul George early in his career. Every night, all he needs to do is to run outside the three-point line and wait for his teammates to charge and catch the opponent's defensive attention before passing the ball. And he throws the ball in the fastest time. It's easy, but I have to admit that Anluo's current development is becoming more and more characterized! So that everyone is positioning him as a top 3d player, the perfect puzzle for winning the team. An Luo has done well enough in his own positioning, so that everyone has no more expectations for him!
However, An Luo himself has more ideas.
