Fast forward a week, the team's new assistant coach is in place, and everything is business as usual.Adamson is forgotten because he is not irreplaceable.After that party, Wang Jun did not participate in any entertainment activities, and all his attention was focused on training.Even on Halloween, which Americans love, he stayed in the apartment for waist and abdominal training, endurance training.He's going to be drafted, he's going to fight in the NBA, and he doesn't have much time to improve.Stimulated by Wang Jun, Bobby, Carman, Harris, Powell and others also trained very hard, and almost all of them practiced shooting.During the training session on November 3, coach David arrived late and was accompanied by a person.They approached and the players were all excited.This person is in his early nines at a height of one meter, has a thin figure, and also has an amiable shoehorn face.He is none other than the retired NBA star, the famous "Death Gun" Jeff Hornacek.David smiled: "Everyone must know him, I won't go into details, yesterday he came to see me in Ann Arbor, I want him to stay one more day and guide you guys in shooting."
There is only one day, and you have to listen carefully. ”"Seriously, of course."
Harris took the lead and applauded vigorously."
Welcome Mr.
Hornacek.""
Welcome" the others also applauded.After the welcome, Luke Barnes and the others went directly to the sympathy, and the first thing was not to practice, but to take a group photo and ask for an autograph.Jeff was very communicative and accommodating to everyone's requests.After retiring from the Jazz in 2000, many teams wanted Jeff Hornacek to be the team's assistant coach and coach the players to shoot.He said he wanted to rest, so he refused.Being able to be guided by him is hard to come by, which is David's face.Jeff clapped his hands and said, "I'll tell everyone what I know, it's not difficult, in addition to having a flexible wrist to shoot, the main thing is a feeling."
Let's warm up first. ”Wang Jun was about to run laps with him, but Jeff stopped him."
Wang, you don't need to warm up, come and talk."
David also said: "You come early every day to practice, unlike everyone else.I called him mainly to guide you, you lack consistency in shooting. ”Wang Jun walked over briskly and smiled at Jeff."
Hello, Mr.
Hornacek."
People who could only be seen on TV stood in front of them, like kind elders.Because of the relationship between Abby and David, the two have been friends for a long time.The other players were envious.What kind of optimism is this, will Wang Jun be accepted as an apprentice in the future, the gimmick of Hornacek's apprentice is not small, it is difficult not to be noticed, and he may go to play in the NBA after graduation.Jeff kept looking at Wang Jun with a smile on his face, and after a few seconds, he said, "You can call me Jeff."
Abby often mentions you about how gifted, good character, and perseverance you have.I've never seen her praise a boy like this, you can't be in love, right" Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "We are friends, not in love." ”Obviously, this person in front of him is very peaceful, why is he under so much pressure Jeff said: "This kid is very strong, but also a little petty, very picky."
It's very rare that you can make her feel amazing, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”"Uh" Wang Jun didn't know what to say.It's not appropriate to say thank you.It must have been mad to say that he had no idea about Abby when it reached the ears of the narcissistic Abby.American families are relatively open, and 19-year-old girls fall in love, as long as they don't find a ruffian and a bad reputation of the opposite sex, they generally won't intervene directly.Wang Jun is an outside pitcher, and the Hornacek family has a good impression of him, and the main problem is Wang Jun's nationality, but these problems have to be solved by the young people themselves.Jeff diverted from this awkward topic and talked about basketball."
I've seen the video of you scoring 31 points in a training match and I'm surprised.That kind of defensive intensity, I can't do it anymore. ”Wang Jun was very embarrassed to be praised, except for him, no one in this world can cheat with props when playing ball."
I'll talk about the theory later, and then you pitch the ball for me to see.Wait for everyone and don't let them feel unfair. ”"Okay."
Wang Jun knows that learning the right way to shoot is the way to go.At the end of the warm-up, everyone gathered together to listen to the famous man talk about shooting.When it comes to three-point shooting, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be Reggie Miller.In fact, Miller has never won a shooting contest.Hornacek and Steve Cole are the most consistent shooters, shooting more than Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Glen Rice and others.Hornacek has a career three-point shooting percentage of 403, and Kerr is even more outrageous at 471.However, considering that Kerr has never averaged a double-double in points per game in a single season in his career, has a single role, and is not an empty position and almost does not shoot, Hornacek is undoubtedly more representative.Combined with the shooting percentage of two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws, there was only one person in the NBA who could match Hornacek's efficiency last season, and that was Mavericks point guard Steve Nash, who had just become an All-Star.Jeff stood in the middle of the court and said loudly, "If you want to be a good shooter, I think the most important thing is to be consistent, and then there is the secret, yes, there is a secret to shooting, and three-point shooting is not that difficult." ”Many players complained in their hearts, and of course there are a few people in the world who dare to say this, but no one questions it, even if it is a chatterbox.Jeff slapped the basketball twice, jumped lightly from beyond the three-point line, and shot.The movement is very fluid, and the ball hollows into the net.He catches and throws, and he hits.He hit seven goals in a row before hitting an iron, and even after two years of retirement, he is still accurate.The players applauded together, and Jeff signaled to stop, smiling and saying, "I'm doing this demonstration to show everyone the essentials of shooting."
To be a great pitcher, to be a consistent pitcher, the most important thing is to find a way to make sure that you make every shot the same. ”Everyone recalled it and found that he really shot the same way just now.Jeff went on to say, "If you're shooting with everything you have, including your legs, the rest of your body and all your skills, then it makes you feel like the three-point line isn't as far as it seems."
Wang, you can also give a demonstration, and then I will explain. ”Wang Jun stood outside the three-point line, shot ten shots in a row at 50 degrees on the right side, and scored eight, and he was very satisfied with this performance.Jeff first signaled Wang Jun to return to the team, and then asked: "He did a good job, did you find anything wrong?"
Kaman raised his hand first, and hurriedly said: "Wang's shooting action is exactly the same every time." ”Jeff nodded: "That's right, it's a good habit, so he's the most accurate in the team."
I think as long as he keeps practicing, he can become a super pitcher.As people get older, they tend to be better pitchers because the number of shots they take is constantly increasing.This is the accumulation of experience, which makes it easier for people to remember the right time to shoot and the power to make a shot. ”Many people gasped, especially the outside players who were both envious and depressed.Why didn't I get this evaluation because I'm too good, is this a conclusion that Wang Jun can play in the NBA in the future:
