Jeff Hornersek took a basketball and slowed down his motion, posing and said, "I usually pay attention to these key points when shooting. Spread my feet at enough distance, don't get together, and try to stretch your legs as much as possible, so..."

Everyone read it very carefully, and someone took a notebook to record it.

Jeff explained seriously: "Note that the center of gravity should be on the heel at this time, so that it will be stable when jumping, and the toes will jump faster, but it is difficult to grasp the center of gravity. The waist is slightly bent while maintaining the strength of the upper limbs. You have to feel it yourself. Then there are key points of the hand, keep your elbows straight, shoot with one hand, and try to open your fingers. Then jump and look at the top of the basket."

"Don't you look at the basket?" Harris asked in an incisor.

"Looking at the top, try to shoot high arcs, high three-point arcs, making it easier to hit." Jeff threw the ball, with a high arc and the ball was hollow into the net.

Gordon raised his hand and asked: "Sir, Kobe's shooting curve is not high, but his head is not bad. Can that kind of shooting method be imitated?"

Obviously, he is a Kobe fan.

Jeff replied: "This varies from person to person. Low arc is not bad, as long as you choose a player who shoots in a low arc. If you want to be accurate, you must have excellent bounce power or tall figure. Kobe's shooting has a lot of shots and his hit rate is not stable. I suggest developing the habit of high arc."

What he implies is that if a player who takes a low arc jumps shorter, it may affect his hit rate and his efficiency will be relatively bleak at the end of his career.

Gordon was a little depressed and asked: "Isn't Kobe good?"

Jeff said awkwardly: "Of course not. Kobe's shooting can be said to be very good. The force flows from bottom to top. The power is not dispersed in the process, and it is beautiful and beautiful. But that is not something that anyone can do."

In fact, from a physics perspective, the parabola shot with straight up and down has the largest frame area and relatively the highest hit rate. The parabola 60 degrees is twice the size of the frame area than 30 degrees.

Harris raised his hand and asked, "Who's shooting method is the most suitable for imitation now?"

"Ray Allen, everyone can watch his game more. If anyone can break Reggie Miller's total three-point shooting record in the future, I think it must be him."

This evaluation is too high, and many people don’t believe it. In terms of shooting guard position, Ray Allen lacks popularity.

Ray Allen is an underrated player, with super physical fitness, and among black players, he also has the bounce and explosive power of the upper range, his super high basketball IQ, and incomparable shooting ability.

He is very efficient, defeating Kobe and Iverson completely. However, he has never received any personal honors and has not been in a while. This is actually due to his personality. He is too selfless and gentlemanly, never pays attention to personal data, and has always adhered to the principle of team first.

He can get more than 20 points without saying a word, and always more than 20 points, and he will not take action infinitely. If he doesn't score 50+ a few times, who would think he is a superstar?

Jeff took another basketball and posed in the same position as before. "Play the ball with his fingertips when shooting, and grasp the strength when shooting, which requires more practice to remember. In addition, the shoulders are forward and relaxed. Both the ball and the arms must rise straight. Keep the shoulders flush and complete the movement smoothly. How about it, isn't it difficult?"

Everyone is silent, it’s not difficult? Then why are they not sure?

It is quite difficult to do all the details in a simple shooting action, and for Hornersek it has become an instinct. In fact, he doesn't really think about these things when shooting, but as long as he does these things, the shooting feels better.

Next, the players practiced their own practice, and Jeff took turns to guide them.

After teaching the basics, he gave Wang Jun a separate training.

Wang Jun has a great foundation. He is born with flexible wrists and no problem with shooting posture. He shoots very quickly and moves smoothly. However, his shooting percentage is unstable and he is always a little bit short.

Jeff couldn't see his problem, so he could only ask the details in the end. "Wang, I heard that you shot more than 90% of the three-point shooting percentage more than once, and once, when you were tired after working, what were you thinking at that time? This may be the key to solving your hit percentage problem."

What are you thinking? This question is really hard to answer. What I think is "using props"!

Then what I thought was "Only ten minutes, time must not be wasted". How can I tell others this?

Wang Jun thought about it for a while before he thought about it. "I didn't think of anything special at that time. I just held my breath when shooting, wanted to take action quickly, shot a few more shots in a short time, shot how many times in a few minutes, and tried my limits, that's it."

Jeff suddenly realized, slapped his fists and smiled, "I thought about it, I just said less, the rhythm of shooting is also related to breathing. You found the rhythm of shooting when you hold your breath."

"Breath?" Wang Jun is familiar with this word. He practices breathing and breathing every night.

"Yes, try to catch the ball while taking a deep breath and hold your breath when you jump up. Remember, the softest thing is the wrist rather than the whole body. It is easier to maintain the strength of the upper limbs when holding your breath, throw the ball out, and then exhale that breath after landing. The feeling of relief is often accompanied by a goal."

As he said that, Jeff took a basketball and said to Wang Jun: "Be prepared."

Wang Jun nodded and immediately entered the state.

Jeff passed the ball over, Wang Jun held his breath before receiving the ball, jumped up, took action, and the ball entered.

He exhaled that breath only when he landed on the ground, and he obviously felt that his upper limbs were more stable while holding his breath.

Jeff picked up the ball under the basket and passed it to Wang Jun. He shot the same way, and Wang Jun missed one of the nine shots in a row. He felt an indescribable sense of pleasure and his movements were very smooth.

Is it really because of the rhythm of this tone? It would be great if you can increase the command rate.

Wang Jun became more and more excited as he practiced, and his gratitude to the three Horaceks became stronger and stronger. They all helped him a lot.

I also followed Jeff's guidance. When the afternoon training ended, the shooting percentage of others did not change at all, so I basically rely on my own mistakes.

Harris and Gordon shot slightly better, but they got used to the shooting postures they used to, and it was difficult to change.

Only Wang Jun did everything Horacek said. His shooting posture was already very standard, and now he even changed his breathing rhythm. Although his shooting percentage did not improve much at once, it was smoother from catching the ball to shooting.

After going home after training, Jeff said to David: "Dad, you and Abby are right. Wang Jun is a genius. As long as he arranges tactics and allows him to play his own advantages, it is entirely possible that he will be selected by the NBA team next year."

"Do you think there are other people who can get three points?"

Jeff shook his head: "They are all too rigid in their brains and are used to shooting postures and don't even have the courage to change them. In the NBA, there are people who make the left-handed shots to right-handed. It's a good thing to change bad habits in college, but they don't want to try. I think except Wang Jun, only Kaman has a better future."

"You and Chris are having a good time talking, Jeff." David smiled.

"Don't you know what that guy's personality is? He almost nagged me to death." Jeff shivered.

Change requires courage and even more understanding. The three of the Horacek family are optimistic about Wang Jun's understanding.

Jeff Hornersek experienced major changes back then. When he first entered the NBA, he played a point guard in the Suns. His three-point shooting percentages in the first three seasons were 27.9%, 29.3% and 33.3% respectively. At the beginning, his main offensive methods were breakthroughs and passes, and not many three-point shots were made.

Later, he developed a way of running and receiving the ball. He played as a shooting guard despite his height of only 193cm and became a star step by step.
