Chapter 203 Honing Back Up Singles Skills
Now is the critical moment to hit the playoffs. This season is Zhang Zifeng's first season. He is full of expectations for the playoffs, so he has been working very hard in the game, hoping to perform better in the game and help the team. Team wins.
Although Zhang Zifeng had a good idea, the reality hit him mercilessly.
Emergency stop jump shots, long-range three-point shots, and European layups are Zhang Zifeng's best and most proficient offensive skills, and they are also the offensive skills that pose the greatest threat to opponents.
When these characteristics of Zhang Zifeng are familiar and thoroughly analyzed by the opponent, and the opponent conducts a targeted defense, forcing Zhang Zifeng to the bottom line and shooting in the low post where he is least familiar.
Zhang Zifeng immediately dropped his shooting percentage and made many mistakes.
In the 76ers' tactical system, Zhang Zifeng's role is the most important part.
His performance on the court directly determines the outcome of the 76ers game.
This is not an exaggeration at all. I believe that anyone who has watched the 76ers game, whether it is an opponent or a fan expert, will agree with this point of view.
If Zhang Zifeng is restricted on the court and does not perform well, then the 76ers will lose their strongest spear.
The 76ers' offense is greatly reduced.
In the past, Zhang Zifeng thought that the technical moves he had mastered were enough to run rampant in the NBA, but when Zhang Zifeng encountered difficulties and was restricted by others, he realized that the offensive skills he mastered were enough for ordinary players, but for a ball The core of the team, the ambition to become the league's top superstar is a bit less.
Zhang Zifeng knew that he had to improve his own strength, whether it was for himself or for the team.
He already had calculations in his mind.
Post-up singles are very common in the game, especially in the penalty area and it is one of the necessary skills for inside players.
There are relatively few guards who use this trick, but Zhang Zifeng knows that they are all very good players who can practice post-up singles skills.
Especially Jordan and Kobe, the two top superstars, they are the two best players among guards who hone their post-up singles and turn-back jumpers.
Because of this, the two of them are also the best and most difficult guards among the guards.
Because both of them have no shortcomings in offense and can really attack from any corner of the frontcourt.
This is what others cannot do.
NBA players basically understand all basketball skills, but whether they can use them and whether they can use them well are two different things.
Zhang Zifeng also used back-up singles skills before, but he couldn't use them well in the game.
After the day's training ended, Zhang Zifeng had to stay alone for his own extra training as usual.
Everyone is used to this. The teammates greeted Zhang Zifeng one after another, and then left the training ground one after another.
At this time, according to Zhang Zifeng's instructions, Ross, a trainer specially hired by the team, also came to the arena.
Rose is a candidate for the 11 NBA draft. He is 1.97 meters tall and weighs 112 kilograms.The body is burly and full of strength.The explosive power is not bad, the disadvantage is that the physical fitness and shooting are not good.
It is also because of this that he has been a substitute for four years in college. Seeing that he did not have enough credits and could not get a diploma in his senior year, he gritted his teeth and participated in the draft in 2011, but he was not selected unexpectedly.
Then, in order to support his family, Rose took up a career as a trainer.
Seeing Rose coming, Zhang Zifeng didn't talk nonsense, and called Rose to warm up and prepare for training.
Zhang Zifeng still has a clear understanding of himself. As the most important member of the 76ers, and with the increase of his reputation, he often encounters more stringent markings in the offense.
One person defends close to the outside line. Once you break through, you will encounter the opponent's timely supplementary defense, and you will not be given a chance to hit the penalty area.
Zhang Zifeng often gets stuck in the low position, and the team's offense also stagnates.
Zhang Zifeng knew that he had to solve this problem, otherwise he would never be a superstar and the team would not be able to move forward.
In the past, I played well, some opponents didn't pay enough attention to it, and there were reasons why my own characteristics were not understood.
But now who would underestimate Zhang Zifeng, it is impossible for the entire league to treat him as a rookie...
It is not difficult for Zhang Zifeng to imagine that he will never be easy in the future.
The opponent will definitely send their most powerful and difficult defensive experts to deal with themselves.
Zhang Zifeng knew that his skills were not enough, at least in the low position, he didn't have enough skills to score stably.
To solve the current problems, the most important thing is to practice the low-post attack, to be precise, the post-up singles technique.
On the road of becoming stronger, Zhang Zifeng will never stop.
Zhang Zifeng took the ball and signaled to the trainer Rose that he could come close to him from behind to defend him.
Rose acted in advance and defended Zhang Zifeng from behind.Zhang Zifeng's waist was locked with his left hand, and his right hand was raised high, simulating the situation of playing against each other on the court.
At the same time, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Zifeng's dribble, ready to steal the ball at all times.
Zhang Zifeng holds the ball with his back, his feet are naturally separated, and his upper body is leaned back.
When the ball hit the ground, Zhang Zifeng tightened his left hand and hit Rose with his back.
Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball and crashed behind him step by step, hoping to advance to the penalty area.
But it is obvious that Zhang Zifeng is not proficient in dribbling with his back. When he bumped into Rose again, he kept dribbling a little far away from himself in order not to break Rose.
But at this moment, Ross suddenly retreated. Although Zhang Zifeng did not fall, he lost his center of gravity.Rose stepped forward and jumped directly at the basketball.
Zhang Zifeng didn't have time to recover the ball, and the ball was stolen directly.
Zhang Zifeng smiled wryly when he saw it, shook his head, and said, "Come again!"
Rose threw the ball to Zhang Zifeng, Zhang Zifeng took it and continued to practice post-up singles skills.
This time Zhang Zifeng only wanted to move his feet, but forgot to dribble for a while, and the result was a walking foul!
"Come again!"
"Come again!"
……
"Zhang, let's take a break!"
After three 10 minutes of training, the trainer Ross was the first to get tired.
Rose has good skills, but his biggest problem is physical fitness, and it is precisely because of this that he failed to achieve much in college. At most, he became a trainer in order to support his family.
Zhang Zifeng heard the nod, walked to the side of the court, and threw a bottle of sports drink to Rose.
After a 10-minute break, Zhang Zifeng called Rose again to continue training.
Rose was surprised to hear that Zhang Zifeng had trained with the team for three hours, and now he has practiced for an extra hour, and he still hasn't let up.
After seeing Zhang Zifeng becoming famous, he still insists on training hard and is eager to become a stronger player.Rose has been a trainer for three or four years, and has trained dozens of professional players. Among them are veterans and rookies, but it is the first time I have seen someone like Zhang Zifeng.
Once many black players join the NBA contract or get a big contract, once the training time is over, it is absolutely difficult for you to find them on the training ground.
Even in the usual training, it is difficult to see them on time.
If you want to find them, I'm afraid you have to go to places like bars or nightclubs.
They are very talented, but many times, they are just relying on talent.
In their rookie season, their talent may allow them to be great for a while.But when the opponent gets familiar with their characteristics, they will become very ordinary.
Slowly becoming a role player, slowly becoming a substitute, and even disappearing from the league.
Opening high and moving low, or high-tech and low-energy performance.
A Chinese like Zhang Zifeng, although his physical fitness is lower than many players.
But Zhang Zifeng relied on his own diligence to make up for this gap little by little.
Seeing the sweat dripping down on Zhang Zifeng's forehead, and thinking about how he was afraid of suffering and tiredness during physical training, Ross felt melancholy.
Zhang Zifeng was not in the mood to accompany Ross to remember the past, he took the time to hone his skills.
……
Although Zhang Zifeng really wanted to be able to master the post-up singles technique immediately, it was obviously impossible.
Any kind of technology must be honed a little bit over time before it can be truly mastered and used.
Zhang Zifeng hasn't fully mastered the post-up singles technique yet, so are the 76ers just waiting and watching?
Of course not, while Zhang Zifeng is working hard to improve himself, the 76ers are also working hard to correct their tactics and adapt to the game.
For example, try to avoid Zhang Zifeng's weaknesses and give full play to Zhang Zifeng's strengths.Let Zhang Zifeng run more to shoot and less to attack with the ball.
For example, tell Smith, Noel and others to play more inside to create space for Zhang Zifeng.
But doing so is only tantamount to treating the head with a headache and treating the foot with a pain in the foot, and it does not fundamentally solve the problem.
If Zhang Zifeng thinks this is enough, then Zhang Zifeng will change from a sharp knife, from a player who can stand up and maintain firepower when the team is stalemate or the offense is stagnant, to a 3D player.
If Zhang Zifeng cannot fundamentally solve this problem, Zhang Zifeng will not be able to stand up at the critical moment and help the team win!
Perhaps in the first few years, Zhang Zifeng could still rely on his previous popularity. The 76ers saw that he was still popular and would not move him if he had commercial value.
But for several years in a row, Zhang Zifeng has been doing nothing and disappointed the fans time and time again. Sooner or later, his popularity will be exhausted.
At that time, Zhang Zifeng, who is not popular and has no extraordinary strength, how can the 76ers treat him as a treasure, I am afraid that he will be swept away immediately, or become a role player.
Just like Iverson back then!
Training every day and then participating in competitions, this is Zhang Zifeng's life now.
The 76ers asked Zhang Zifeng to run more and try to give full play to his advantages of accurate shooting.
With this tactic, when Zhang Zifeng feels hot, there is no problem.
But once the hand feels bad, or when the opponent has a strong defensive guy, the 76ers' offense will go wrong.
If there is a top inside player in the 76ers who can attack with the ball by himself, it will not only help the team score, but also help Zhang Zifeng get involved in the defense and open up space.
Zhang Zifeng would not be restrained so easily.
But there is no such player in the 76ers. Noll can defend well, but not offensively.Smith has always been not good at attacking in the restricted area, he prefers to float outside and shoot.
The only reliable Embiid, hey...
On February 2, the 29ers challenged the Wizards away.
The Wizards are still outside the playoff circle, ranking 10th, but they are only 8 wins away from the No.3 Pistons. At their home court, the Wizards naturally hope to win and shorten the gap with the Pistons.
The Wizards went all out, 60-48 in the first half, and achieved a double-digit advantage.

On March 3, the 1ers played against the Hornets in their own game.
The Hornets occupy the sixth man position in the Eastern Conference, but they are only 1 game ahead of the ninth Bulls.
The outcome of any game may change the ranking.The competition for the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference is becoming increasingly fierce, and it may continue to the final battle of the regular season.
Facing a team like the 76ers, the Hornets are determined to win.
However, after the opening, the 76ers played 1-7 in the first minute, which caught the Hornets off guard.
Williams also scored a three-pointer, Walker made a fallback shot, and the Hornets returned 8-0 before gradually finding their sense.
The 76ers hit consecutive three-pointers, and made 6 three-pointers in this quarter, and the battle was once 24-24.
Jeremy Lin made a successful pull-bar shot, and the Hornets ended this section 8-5, giving them a slight advantage of 32-29.

With 2 minutes and 36 seconds left in this section, Cannan made a three-pointer, and the 76ers were only behind 50-52, but then they failed to make another shot in this section.
The Hornets ended this section with a wave of 6-0, leading 58-50 in the first half.
Hornets point guards Walker and Jeremy Lin performed well, scoring a total of 20 points in the first half.The Hornets hit 51.2 percent, while the 76ers had only 35.6 percent.
The Hornets started the third quarter with a wave of 6-0 in the second half, thus achieving a double-digit advantage 64-50.

The 76ers failed to lead for too long. Walker broke through for a layup and returned the color. Then he and Courtney Lee made three-pointers one after another. After the Hornets played 14-0, they regained their advantage.After three quarters, the Hornets led 83-74.
With 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Kaminsky hit a three-pointer and the Hornets opened the gap 94-78.
The 76ers fell into a scoring drought again, Zhang Zifeng fell down one after another, and Smith fell into the habit of shooting randomly at the last moment. In the end, the Hornets beat the 119ers 99-76 away.
黄蜂二连胜，保持东部第六的位置。肯巴-沃克拿下了30分7个篮板，科迪-泽勒15分6个篮板，马文-威廉姆斯14分9个篮板，尼古拉斯-巴图姆12分7次助攻。替补出场的林书豪14分2次助攻。
76人遭遇惨败，史密斯得到12分8个篮板，张子枫得到了17分9次助攻，诺埃尔也有17分进账。
Always being strictly marked by opponents at critical moments and falling into a scoring drought, Zhang Zifeng, who has always stood up to help the team at critical moments, was very dissatisfied with his performance.
In the game lost to the Hornets, after the game, Zhang Zifeng went directly back to the training hall for additional practice until one o'clock in the morning before going back to rest under the persuasion of the staff.
But in less than four and a half hours, Zhang Zifeng ran back to continue training at 4:05 in the morning!
