Chapter 94 The Strongest Defender of 2000(1/2)
"I haven't practiced much, but I think it's necessary."
Sun Hao tells the truth.
He has also used the step back in Europe, but he had to spend a lot of time practicing the long three-pointer at the beginning, so he didn't have much time to practice this.
"I can teach you some details, but whether you can practice it depends on yourself."
Harris said with a smile.
After hearing this, Sun Hao looked at Harris with gratitude.
At this time, Harris had no relationship with the Chinese men's basketball team, and he lacked the details of his shooting.
You should know that the summer league has not been played yet, but he knows whether he will play or sit on the bench for the whole season.
So it's really rare.
Harris did it as soon as he said he did it, and the other team members left after the training, and he stayed alone to give Sun Hao a small meal.
Of course, what Harris taught is not the double step backward steps like Harden who grasps the rules in the future, but the standard step backward steps.
But just taking a step back, there are many details that can be explored in depth.
For example, dribbling.
It seems to have nothing to do with the action of step-back, but it is a very important detail.
Because the retreat step has a step-down action to withdraw the ball, it is easy to be stolen if the ball is on the front of the body at that moment.
Therefore, if you want to take a step back, it is best to bring a crotch when dribbling, so as to effectively avoid being stolen.
Another example is footsteps.
When taking a step back, the step back foot is best to be opposite to the dribbling hand, so that the distance from the defender can be fully opened.
"Retreatment is like dribbling, both sides need to be mastered together, so during normal training, you have to practice and master both left and right foot steps."
Some of the things Harris said involved basketball technical details, which Sun Hao didn't know.
This is also the experience Harris has summarized after so many years of coaching.
Especially since Harris has been working as an assistant coach for a long time, he will pay more attention to these technical details.
These have benefited a lot from Sun Hao.
His eyes at Harris were still full of gratitude.
After all, he was just an NCAA assistant in his previous life.
Don’t think that this position is so awesome. NCAA head coach is the biggest, integrating power and one.
Assistant teaching is just a little better than doing odd jobs.
It is completely different from the teaching assistant of NBA.
Otherwise, Sun Hao wouldn't have just understood some training methods. He was the head coach there every day, and even after traveling through time, his basketball IQ was only 51.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the caddie function in the system.
If Harris could be there, it would definitely be a big help to him.
However, according to the system requirements, he must first establish sufficient friendship with Harris.
Harris had zero intersection with him before, so it was not a sudden thing to do.
However, because the relationship between the two is a coach and the player, the ability to quickly increase the favorability of the two is naturally a good performance on the court.
The summer league is very important for a rookie like Sun Hao. With this relationship, he has more reason to play well.
After two days of training, Harris took the Mavericks' players to the Long Beach Stadium, where they will usher in the opening of the Summer League.
Their opponent is the Chicago Bulls.
Like the Mavericks, the Bulls are in rebuilding and trades are frequent at this year's draft.
In addition to Sun Hao's deal, they also used the seventh pick to win the Cavaliers' No. 8 pick Jamal Crawford.
This transaction looks strange, but it is not uncommon in NBA.
First select the player you want, and then make some small gains from you.
For Klaus, this is all a routine operation.
The quality of the rookie in 2000 was mediocre, but if you want to be the strongest defender, Crawford must be.
If Reed wasn't injured, the position would have been his.
Crawford has gorgeous ball control skills and outstanding scoring power. He is the only player in NBA history to win the sixth man of the season three times.
Moreover, his career lasted 19 years, averaged 20+ games at his peak, and he was both stubborn and able to play.
Of course that is the future. Crawford is now placed on the expectation that it is... greater than that of the future.
Imagine how difficult it is to get the eighth pick in a draft that is full of inside, and you will know how outstanding he is in this rookie.
Moreover, he is also a double-athlete guard like Sun Hao, and he is likely to compete with Sun Hao in the game.
Sun Hao met his boss-level opponent from the beginning.
Moreover, the strength of this Bulls is also ridiculously strong in the summer league.
Apart from Crawford, the team's inside line is luxurious.
The big inside man obtained when trading Sun Hao, Itan Thomas, who was 12th overall, was just like his name, and he had a muscle and was a meat tank.
There is also the "tattoo master" Marcus Fezer who was selected by their No. 4 pick.
Fizer is very famous in NCAA. Not only was he selected into the first team in the United States, but he also led the team to the quarterfinals of NCAA as the core team.
In the future, he is often labeled as a squash in the NBA due to his personality and injuries, so that future experts' evaluations of him are more focused on tattoos on him in more than 30 parts.
However, Fizell, who has not yet begun his journey to the NBA, has high expectations for the management, and his strength is also in the first level in the summer league.
In addition to these three lottery shows, this Bulls also has a famous figure in the future.
Ron I am still a newcomer Artest.
There is another short story about Artest participating in this summer league.
As the No. 16 pick last year, Artest delivered excellent data per game of 12 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 steals in the rookie season, and was all-around offense and defense.
Originally, such players didn't need to participate in the summer league again.
Artest himself had no idea.
But perhaps because the team lost too much last season, it was unfair, so the team management still asked him to come.
The purpose is naturally self-evident. The team under reconstruction hopes to use the Summer League championship to comfort the hearts of the fans.
The Lakers in history have also worked like this after Kobe retired, more than once.
The Bulls are the originator of this.
In addition to these four, sophomore Mike Ruffin, this year's No. 32 A.J. Guyton, and No. 34 Harid Al Amin.
With talent, that is, combat power is all full, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Bulls is the strongest team in the summer league.
Not only the opponents are bosses, but also the opponents are bosses. Sun Hao's NBA career is very difficult to start.
Harris seemed to know this too. On the way to the stadium, he emphasized his game mentality with the players.
Winning and losing in the summer league is not that important. Showing your training results and personal abilities is what the coaching team hopes to see.
Sun Haoquan said that, and he said that, but for him, he would go to win as long as he went on the court.
If you don't want to win, then what else can you play?
Long Beach is the largest satellite city in Los Angeles, a typical port city with a tenth-ranked world throughput.
It is said to be a satellite city, but it is actually not small at all. California's seventh largest city, both in terms of economy and city size.
The Long Beach Stadium can accommodate 6,000 people to watch the football on site, and it is not small in scale.
The Mavericks came early, the Bulls had not arrived yet, and the audience was still sitting in a scattered manner.
After arriving, Harris quickly signaled the team to warm up in advance.
Sun Hao also began to look for touches on the outside.
The three-point line in Europe is 6.25 meters from FIBA, but the distance between NBA is 6.7~7.25 meters (the three-point line of NBA is not a regular semicircle).
In other words, there will be a maximum 1 meter gap here, which is why many overseas players will not adapt to the three-point line at the beginning when they arrive at the NBA.
However, because Sun Hao often shoots long distance or even long three-pointers in Europe, he will adapt much faster than others.
Of course, there is also a process, and it is also a blessing for the system upgrade, which gives him more time to adapt to this.
While practicing, Raga Bell suddenly walked towards Sun Hao.
Sun Hao cast doubtful eyes at him. Judging from his previous dealings, his roommate looks quite introverted.
"Leave it to me by Jamal."
Bell didn't say much, but he was straight to the point.
