Chapter 029 Training from the Cap King
Bang, bang, bang.
In the Davidson College basketball hall, young athletes are swaying their sweat.
"Hey, Dell, why are you here today?" McLoup said overjoyed when he saw Dell Curry suddenly appearing outside the training hall.
"I brought you a treasure." Dell Curry said pretending to be mysterious.
"Oh?" McLoup was very curious about what kind of baby Dell Curry was going to deliver it himself.
After a while, a seven-foot-long man appeared in front of McLopp.
"This is..." McLopp opened his mouth wide.
He was able to hire such a big shot. Alas, why don’t everyone say Stephen is very happy? After all, when he was a child, Uncle Carter was a training partner.
McLopp stopped training.
"Lin, come here." McLopp said to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi walked towards this side curiously, and he also noticed Dell Curry and the one beside Dell Curry.
So tall, it seems to be similar to myself?
But depending on age, you should be in your fifties?
Of course, Lin Yi didn't recognize this person.
After all, Chinese fans began to understand the NBA more from the Michael Jordan era.
And this person is an ancient god.
"Lin, you have to thank Uncle Dell very well. This is the personal assistant he hired for you, and only he can invite this big shot." McLopp said to Lin Yi with a smile.
Lin Yi stretched out his hand and shook the big man.
"Let me introduce it, Terry Rollins, my old friend." Dell Curry introduced.
Terry Rollins, the NBA's blocking champion in the 82/83 season! He was also selected for the NBA's best defense second team that year and the NBA's best defense first team next year!
The legendary star of the Atlanta Hawks has had 4 triple-double blocking performances in his career!
Known for his athleticism and blocking ability in the NBA.
"I've watched your game, it's really touching. The physical fitness of young people nowadays is much better than that of us!" Terry Rollins sighed.
Terry Rollins said that Lin Yi's movement speed and horizontal movement exceeded his imagination, but he seemed not to fully use the blocking technique when defending.
"Listen, you have excellent movement speed and wingspan, which can help you block even if you step a step later than others. Even if you take fake moves, you can block, so I will train you in this regard next." Terry Rollins said the purpose of his trip.
Lin Yi was very grateful to Dell Curry. This time he was completely benefited from Stephen's fortune.
In fact, Dell Curry also has selfish thoughts, especially on Christmas night, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Curry.
Stephen confessed that he had no expectations for this year, and just wanted to transform himself successfully and then go to the NBA. After all, the Davidson Wildcats were in poor condition this year.
But Lin Yi's sudden growth and his talent and strength made Stephen think again.
College players, who doesn’t have dreams?
Everyone comes to play basketball with their dreams of basketball.
But in front of this dream is a NCAA super strong team led by North Carolina.
If you want to go further in the future March Crazy, the Davidson Wildcats must make a breakthrough.
Dell Curry knew that his son's technology had taken shape, and the rest was only for him to explore and research by himself. He could no longer teach Curry more.
And the potential of other Davidson Wildcats players is limited.
The only one that can be improved is Lin Yi.
And before March Madness arrives, he has a lot of room for improvement.
Especially defense.
There are not many seven-foot-sized men in NCAA, otherwise players like Tabit who rely entirely on their height to play would not rage the NCAA's inside line.
Lin Yi has only 2.1 blocks per game now, and he can do better.
An excellent inside player with a huge defensive area is of great help to the team.
Lin Yi has the potential to become such a super insider.
His steps are not fast enough, but rather fast!
He moves horizontally well, and his body is so flexible that he doesn't look like a big man of this height.
Although his jump was average, he bounced quickly. Combined with his terrible arm span and height, his actual jumping height might be above Blake Griffin.
So Dell Curry was shameless and found his friend.
Terry Rollins was originally unemployed and doubted at first what Dell Curry said about the seven-foot center with a defender-like movement speed.
But after watching several videos sent by Dell Curry to himself, Terry Rollins' already silent blood suddenly boiled.
Training a blocker?
This seems like a pretty good idea.
In the basketball court of Davidson College, everyone was training while watching Lin Yi, who was doing a unique training in the other half.
It's really amazing!
Unexpectedly, even the former NBA blocking king praised Lin Yi for his outstanding talent and strong learning ability.
"Lin, the most important thing about blocking is prediction rather than reaction! For example, if you know what ball your opponent can play and what ball you can't play, with such prediction, it will be much easier for you to block the ball!"
"Secondly, you need to know that when your opponent hits your left hand, if you use your left hand to block it, it will be faster and easier to block the opponent than your right hand."
"Also, you have to expand your defense area. The NCAA does not have a defense for three seconds. If you focus on joint defense, you should be able to make up for the loopholes in all teammates by yourself!"
"Give full play to your height and wingspan! Although your strength is not top-notch, you are not afraid of confrontation. What's the point of unnecessary confrontation? Sometimes you have to use this and use your wisdom! Remember, sometimes the blocking is done because you deliberately lure your opponent to attack! When the opponent feels there is an opportunity, it is also your best defensive opportunity!" Terry Rollins told Lin Yi that he must use his brain when defending.
What is prediction?
It's very simple. When you can't figure out your opponent's routine, your opponent can beat you up no matter how you fight.
For example, in Lin Yi's first NCAA game, the Oklahoma Speed Team suffered as a result.
But what if you can't figure out the opponent's routines no matter what?
As Terry Rollins said, deliberately show the enemy to be weak, lure the opponent to attack, and then use his movement speed and wingspan to complete the blocking in an instant.
Terry Rollinst trained Lin Yi for a whole week.
The progress Lin Yi made this week surprised the NBA blocking king.
"I really think you ruined a super center. If he was stronger, he would likely follow the footsteps of Dameng and become the dominant inside player." Terry Rollins was still complaining about Lin Yi's outside style playing style when he left.
McLopp smiled. Such an old comrade is definitely more professional than him in defense, but his understanding of basketball is not certain.
Who said that the center must be played in the inside?
Why are all the four centers often injured? But Nowitzki can still maintain his peak for so many years?
It's very simple. If there is less confrontation, there will be less chance of injury.
Moreover, modern basketball is developing faster and faster, and there is more skills and no one can suppress it. Lin Yi cannot play inside attack, but he is just a special one.
Speaking of being easily injured when it comes to shooting in the inside, it seems that keyboard warriors are not useless.
After all, when the Bull's rose first bloomed, countless Chinese keyboard warriors believed that Rose's knee could not last for three years.
You should know that in some irrelevant games, McLoup now asks Curry and Lin Yi to break through as little as possible to avoid injury.
Modern basketball, who can explain the rules of development well?
