Catching the ball, pulling horizontally, shooting, and then catching the ball again... With the help of the team staff, Roy kept repeating the same set of actions. In front of him was a 2.5-meter-tall cardboard simulated defensive player.
Although many people think Roy is a genius, Roy never thinks so. In other words, Roy once thought he was a genius, but when he graduated from high school and found that no NBA team would draft him, he changed this
Thoughts. After three years of college career, his current understanding is, "There are geniuses in this world, but I am not. Others may be able to do a certain action out of thin air without practicing, but every action I can do is because of
Practice repeatedly as usual."
So since his body fully recovered, he would practice various basic movements after training every day, and then combine these basic movements together to simulate the most commonly used movements in competitions.
Today Roy is still practicing spontaneously on the sidelines as usual. In fact, not only Roy, but Howard, Josh and other players are also practicing extra, but some of them are in the training hall and some in the weight room.
.
Edison watched Roy shoot a few balls carefully, and then made a timeout gesture to the staff member responsible for passing the ball.
"Brenton, why do you remember practicing catching and shooting?"
Roy saw Edison coming to his side and nodded seriously, "Yes, coach, I think I will often use this set of moves in games, so I plan to practice more and improve my shooting percentage."
"Well, it's good. It's good that you can reflect on the game by yourself. But your set of actions is not perfect. There is still one step left."
Roy tilted his head after hearing this and looked at Edison doubtfully.
Edison smiled, then gestured to the staff next to him, and then demonstrated it himself.
"Catch the ball, shake it, shoot it," Edison explained, and at the same time he threw the ball out. His movements were standard, but it bounced out of the basket. Roy was not a middle school student, and he didn't laugh at Edison's insincere shot.
"You did a good job in these three steps, but there should be a step back in the end." Edison said and took 2 steps back. "In your position, after shooting, whether you go in or not, you are not needed for rebounds.
Go fight for it, so you shouldn’t stay there at this time, but retreat to prepare to defend the opponent’s counterattack.”
Roy nodded listening to Edison's explanation.
"Although your usual defense is not sluggish, it is not enough. I hope that something can be integrated into your blood and genes and become your unconscious reaction."
"I got it coach."
"Well, you continue to practice. By the way, I have something I just want to talk to you about. Come to my office in an hour." After making the request to Roy, Edison originally planned to leave, but suddenly remembered
Something happened, so I came back later to explain it.
An hour later, Roy simply wiped his sweat and came to Edison's office.
"Please sit down. Brandon, I called you here mainly for one thing today. Before I talk about this matter, let me ask you a question first. What do you think of the other players on the team? Just say it, I am not a mess.
The big mouth that spreads the news." Seeing Roy coming, Edison was very enthusiastic. In fact, he had wanted to talk to Roy for a long time, but he was delayed due to some previous incidents.
After hearing Edison's question, Roy thought about it carefully and said, "They are all great." After saying this, Roy closed his mouth and said nothing more.
Edison was amused when he saw it, "Tell me more specifically, who is so good and why. Let's start with the four people who are starting with you now."
"The four of them are very good. Nash's passing and prediction of teammates' movements are simply superb. Sometimes I am shocked when I receive the ball from him. I didn't expect that he could pass the ball in that situation.
Basically, as long as I run out of position, he will deliver the ball to me. And it is very comfortable to receive his pass. The angle and intensity are just right, not high, not low, not light, not heavy, and I can do it without any special adjustments.
Next move. But he doesn't seem to like passing the ball to me. I think he gives Iguodala, Howard, Martin and others more opportunities. Brand is also very good. Although I am not an inside post, I can feel it.
Let’s talk about the positive role he plays. When he is on the court, he can draw a lot of energy from the opponent, allowing me to get enough room for movement. Moreover, his long passes from the backcourt are very accurate, which is helpful for me to counterattack. As for Howard and Igo
Darla is also very good, with super physical fitness, dedicated defense, and never complained when I asked them to help cover. In short, these four people are very good, and I feel very lucky to be able to play with them."
After hearing Roy's words, Edison did not answer directly. Instead, he picked up the latte in front of him and gently blew on the latte. Edison took a careful sip, and then said to Roy, "Would you like to try it?"
, tastes very good.”
Roy shook his head. He was very surprised by Edison's current behavior. When Edison called him here just now, he seemed very anxious, but now he doesn't seem anxious.
"You don't like latte? I have some good coffee over there, do you want it?"
Roy saw that Edison was a little bit reluctant to talk, so he thought for a moment and said, "I just want a latte."
Edison smiled after hearing this, then took out coffee, milk, sugar and other items, carefully adjusted and layered them, and then placed the finished product in front of Roy. "Try my craftsmanship, I guarantee it will taste so good that you will burn your tongue."
After hearing this, Roy reflected for a moment before understanding what Edison meant. Then he picked up the porcelain cup, blew a few times like Edison did, and then took a careful sip.
The fragrant nai aroma and gossamer-like coffee aroma blend together to make people feel refreshed. 7-8 grams of deeply roasted comprehensive coffee beans are ground into extremely fine coffee powder and perfectly dissolved in 90-degree water.
Freshly made brisket without adding melamine and water, sandwich the coffee up and down, and the three slowly penetrate each other. After entering the mouth, instead of swallowing, it is better to say that it slides down the throat by itself, and the aftertaste is endless, which makes people wonder.
One drink after another, after drinking a glass, it seemed as if a powerful force suddenly surged out of Roy's body.
"This tastes really good." Roy couldn't help but admired.
"Of course, you come and try this again." Edison said and put another cup in front of Roy.
"This one is not as good as that one. Although it has a strong fragrance, it is too bitter."
"Haha, but this is the same cup of coffee as the one just now, but that one has beef nai added to it."
Roy felt that there was still a deep meaning in Edison's words.
"Actually, this is my opinion of you now. Since His Majesty the Flyers set the template for shooting guards, in my opinion, you are the most similar to Roy besides Kobe. You are like this coffee powder, although you are very good.
, but there is only a feeling that it is obviously not as good as mixed with others.”
"Coach, I don't understand what you mean."
"Roy, do you feel that you are a little too isolated during the game and your desire to perform is too strong? You seem to have maintained the way you played in college. You are the core of the team and everyone else is surrounding you.
, then you go to resist the pressure, and they are your foil, your little brother. Just like the answer I asked you just now, your evaluation point of view is based on cooperating with yourself. You are not standing on an objective point of view.
.In actual games, whenever the ball comes into your hands, your first thought is to attack yourself, or in other words, you have to make moves, and then decide whether to shoot or pass based on the opponent's situation. If it is the University of Washington, you
This method may be correct, because you are the strongest, you are the most sure, and only you can create opportunities. But this is the NBA, and everyone who can appear here is the best basketball player on the planet.
Now you can't accept that you are just the most ordinary member of the ball transfer line, which is why Nash doesn't like to pass the ball to you. When the ball comes to your hand, the entire team will slow down. If you are playing alone, it doesn't matter.
, because it doesn’t affect others, if you are not allowed to play alone, then your slowness will cause others to break away from their accustomed game rhythm."
Roy listened to Edison and began to recall his previous games, but Edison continued to scold him.
"What I want you to do now is very simple. Integrate into this team, not in terms of tactics, but in terms of consciousness. We are a team-based team. You can achieve excellent personal results, but this must be established
On the premise that the team needs to do that, not that you want it. Your scoring is to serve the team, not other players to serve your scoring. You have to cooperate with the team, not let the team cooperate with you.
, I hope you can understand this. You don’t need to rely on yourself for every ball. You don’t have to be at the front of the team. You have to create all scoring opportunities yourself. Simply transfer the ball and distribute the ball.
It’s very important. Believe in your teammates and they can do well too.”
At this time, Roy also felt that there might be something wrong with him, "Okay, I know the coach, I will change my playing style."
"But don't worry, you are an important scoring point for the team. As long as your condition is good, I will let you take more than 15 shots in every game, which will basically guarantee that your score will reach 20." Edison said.
After giving Roy a slap, he immediately gave him a sweet date.
Although many people say that Roy is a ball tyrant, in fact, Roy is not the kind of player who never lets go of the ball, nor does he take crazy shots. His problem is that his requirements for presence are too high. Even later he
In the season when both knees were worn out, he already knew that he couldn't attack, but he still had to let the ball pass once during the offense, even if he would pass it out immediately.
To put it simply, as long as you give Roy enough screen time, he will be satisfied. Unlike some people who have to take more than 20 shots.
After talking about the matter, Roy said goodbye and went back to training.
After Roy left, Edison looked at the two cups in front of him and muttered to himself, "A bucket of coffee will take longer to make into a latte than instant."

Bad news, I can only update once today, because I have to get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow.
The good news is that the 2nd to 5th are not necessarily all single updates. The activity does not take up as much time as I thought. It should be possible to update 3 times in 2 days.
