Chapter 116: Mike Procopio

Prokopio greeted Thompson and saw Thompson puzzled when he saw someone else.
"This is my friend, Tang, he is a student of the University of Connecticut and will also be running this year." Thompson introduced.
"You are Tang?" Procopio looked at Tang Tian in doubt.
"Uncle Mike, do you know him?" Thompson asked suspiciously.
Tang Tian also had some doubts. He knew Prokopio in his previous life, but now, the two have not met before.
"Shawn told me that he is now the public enemy of Duke fans." Procopio said with a smile.
After listening to Procopio, Tang Tian reacted, and Sean should refer to Sean Battier. This should be about his previous killing of Duke in the championship.
Procopio has a very strong network in the NBA, and I will hear some news without watching the NCAA.
"Nice to meet you." Tang Tian took the initiative to shake hands with Procopio.
"Shawn said you have a big heart, you don't know, he also led the team in the semifinals to complete a 22-point reversal, and now his school was reversed by you." Procopio is quite talkative, and Tang After shaking hands, Tian said with a smile.
"We are lucky." Tang Tian also behaved more humblely.
Procopio laughed when he heard it.
An NCAA topic has drawn a lot of distance between two people.
Chatted for a while, then the training began.
Thompson started the three-point training with the help of Procopio. Tang Tian took the ball in the other half and took a quick three-point shot.
"boom!"
"唰!"
"boom!"
Uh ...
Is completely different from the slow-throw three-pointer. After accelerating the shot speed, his hit rate plummeted, and the original three-pointer with no false shots directly became about 50%.
This is also a matter of reason. After the player adjusts the shot method, the hit rate fluctuation will be very large, and the speed of the hand is the same.
If it were so simple, Novak had already changed his shooting style in the NBA.
Once the shooting habits and rhythm are developed, it is easy to change, but it is difficult to maintain the original level after the change.
But fortunately, Tang Tian is not really Novak, he just used Novak ’s skills, and he has the time and room to adjust.
He slowly adapted to the accelerated shooting speed, but he still didn't improve much after practicing for a while, and the hit rate was up to about 60 per round.
60% looks good, but when it comes to the NBA, if the rookie has one or two big empty spots, the coach should replace you, not to mention the drop in hit rate caused by physical decline.
Things are a lot more trouble than he thought.
Cast a few rounds of his arm sour, he sat on the sidelines to rest.
At this time, he looked at the next half, where Thompson made a smooth shot with the help of Prokopio, and the ball kept going.
And have to say that Procopio is worthy of being the top trainer. The quality of the fed to Thompson is completely comparable to the NBA's first-class defenders.
Stopped there for a while, Thompson wiped his sweat with a towel and rested on the sidelines. Prokopio chatted with him a few words, and then came over to Tang Tian.
Watching Procopio coming to Tang Tian was quite surprised. After all, it was Thompson looking for him.
"I saw you just now, are you adjusting your shooting style?" Procopio walked to Tang Tian and asked.
Tang Tian froze and nodded.
Sure enough, professional is professional, he did not say, Procopio has been completely seen.
"I'm increasing my shooting speed. In the NBA, my previous shooting speed was too slow." The opposite is the most professional trainer, and he didn't hide.
"Can you vote a few for me to see? Previous and present." Procopio said.
Tang Tian nodded, he felt that Procopio was intending to help him.
He got up and shot a few baskets with his previous and current shooting speed.
The difference is obvious. The first few shots have no misses, but only half of the last shots are scored.
"Your shooting talent is very good." Procopio praised.
Procopio has trained many players, many of them are stars, his evaluation is by no means a compliment.
"However, your shooting speed is slow, and you will lose money in the NBA. The idea of ​​increasing the shooting speed is correct." Procopio continued.
Tang Tian nodded.
"It's just that your way is a little bit problematic, it's just to increase the speed of the shot when the shot is taken, which will have a great impact on the hit rate." Procopio continued.
Tang Tian heard a joy here.
This training really felt very uncomfortable.
"What should I do?" Tang Tian asked slightly expectantly.
"Come." Procopio said as he picked up the ball.
"First of all, you have to change your shooting habits ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I see that after you catch the ball, you will put the ball into the crotch unconsciously. This is actually a waste of time, so you have to adjust this, Like this, take the ball and put it on your chest, then take the shot. "
Tang Tian nodded, he really did not notice this.
"There is also the use of your auxiliary hand. Although the shot depends on the power hand, the role of the auxiliary hand is very critical. After increasing the shooting speed, if your auxiliary hand cannot help the ball, the hit rate will be very large. Impact, your hit rate fluctuates, which is a critical factor. "
"In this respect, you can do one-handed shooting training under the basket, plus one-handed shots after training, plus a small movement of the auxiliary hand to help the ball quickly and leave quickly, so as to ensure that you always have a fast shooting speed. The direction and trajectory of the ball can be as familiar as before. "
Procopio said while holding the ball in the demonstration.
Tang Tian nodded after listening to it. His previous life was the godfather, but he was more inclined to tactics and chicken soup. These shot details, because the team has assistants responsible for shooting training, he really does not know much.
Prokopio's suggestions really made him feel a little bit stunned.
"Are you an offensive player or a catcher?" Prokopio then asked.
"Catch type."
"That's okay, if you are holding the ball, you still have to learn how to quickly enter the rhythm of shooting after holding the ball. I really like the boy Stephen Curry. He enters the shooting rhythm very fast, so he can do very well Fast shooting speed, but if you are holding the ball ... I think you need to ask a trainer to help you pass the ball, a good trainer can quickly help you enter the shooting rhythm, so that you can get to the team quickly Adapt to it. "Procopio continued.
