Chapter 63: Heads-up mode
Westbrook's offensive routine is very simple, first, directly attack the basket, make a layup or dunk to end the battle, and second, make a mid-range jumper.
Westbrook's jump shot was interesting, a zombie jump shot with a straight body and a zombie like a zombie.
But the hit rate was surprisingly good.
Westbrook broke through too strongly.
That's right, not sharp, but strong.
Chris Paul and Nash's breakthrough Qin Yang has seen, although they also rely on explosiveness, but most of them are the rhythm and skills of the breakthrough, while Westbrook's breakthrough is purely relying on the body, that is, relying on the body, there is nothing unreasonable in the slightest.
It's clumsy.
Qin Yang vaguely saw a trace of LeBron James's shadow from Westbrook.
Extremely strong physical fitness, simple technology but use, to bring your physical fitness to the extreme. James never practiced back-to-back singles because he didn't need to.
In terms of James's technical characteristics, it is really not needed.
Westbrook is similar, with a straightforward breakout technique.
Westbrook's breakthrough was not the same as Derrick Rose.
Rose played more vigorously than Westbrook, but his play was more like a really desperate play, without slowing down when he broke through, and his ankle was twisted to an unacceptable point.
Westbrook also broke through strongly, but more relied on his explosive power and power combination, making people unstoppable.
Westbrook's flaws are instability, unstable shooting, not strong finishing ability under the basket, and a bit of a single breakthrough skill, which gives Qin Yang an opportunity to take advantage of.
Focus on defending Westbrook's breakaway and letting him shoot partially.
When blocking a score, focus on the final shot under the basket.
That makes it hard for Westbrook to play.
Westbrook is not easy to play, Qin Yang also feels very difficult to play, Westbrook's defense is very ferocious, with great strength, and he is always interfering with his own strength.
Qin Yang felt uncomfortable.
Especially without the cover of his teammates, Qin Yang could only solve the battle by himself.
At this time, Qin Yang's skills that had been training hard for so long were finally useful, and he stopped and accelerated, retreated for three points, and worshiped the Buddha.
These moves couldn't help Qin Yang get rid of Westbrook completely, but they also got space to shoot.
Qin Yang's hard work on shooting, this time finally showed the result.
Westbrook was 4 of 11, even if the offense was mostly under the basket, the shooting rate was very low, and Qin Yang was 5 of 11 and won the heads-up victory.
"Bruce, I'm not going to lose to you, come back next time."
Westbrook did not admit defeat, Qin Yang smiled and did not say a word.
A player with characteristics like Westbrook may be able to win Qin Yang alone, but his role in the team is not as good as Qin Yang.
After the heads-up with Westbrook, Durant didn't step forward to go head-to-head, but just said:
"I'll go back to you next year."
Kevin Durant clearly believes that Qin Yang is not his opponent. Qin Yang shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.
Kevin Durant is similar to Qin Yang in many places, with obvious advantages in height alignment, focusing on shooting on the court, supplemented by breakthroughs, the difference is that Kevin Durant has an absolute advantage in height and bounce. Anyone in the league comes to the position, and Kevin Durant dares to jump out.
No one jumped up to defend Kevin Durant's shot.
But Qin Yang is different, Qin Yang's height advantage is only in point guards, and when facing some scoring guards and small forwards, the height advantage is gone.
Therefore, Qin Yang mainly focuses on his own skills.
Now Qin Yang must be abused very badly against Kevin Durant, with a height disadvantage and a breakthrough disadvantage, Qin Yang will be abused very miserably when he is alone.
This is mutual restraint in technical characteristics, and there is no way to do it in a short time.
Playing against the two rookies of the Thunder team made Qin Yang gain a lot.
Especially when entering the virtual space at night, the future learning machine immediately gave a reminder: "Do you turn on the heads-up mode?" ”
Heads-up mode, similar to the match mode, but a one-on-one match between players.
Qin Yang had rarely chosen heads-up, but after seeing this heads-up mode, his heart moved, and he began to go heads-up with Westbrook in the virtual training space.
Heads-up is a game that all players don't want to play.
Whether it's a star or a rookie.
Every year before the rookie draft, it will be reported that so-and-so rookie beats another rookie with a high prediction pick, and then the draft pick increases significantly.
Another rookie who underperformed was a big drop in the ranks.
This situation is actually very embarrassing. The comparison of strength between players is not just a simple heads-up, so heads-up is not very meaningful.
For the stars, it's all about face.
There has been some debate in the league, who is better Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, O'Neal, Yao Ming or Howard, who is the league's No. 1 center?
These controversies have given the stars a lot of attention.
If there is really a one-on-one heads-up, then someone will become the second and will always be pressed below, which is what the star himself does not want.
Before Jordan won the championship, he was taught a hard lesson by the Pistons' bad boy army, and at that time, no one thought that Jordan was the first person in the league and the first person in NBA history.
So, everything depends on the results.
Of course, part of the reason is that even if it's heads-up, the end result is awkward.
When Yao Ming meets O'Neal, he will always be deflated, O'Neal will greatly reduce his data when he meets Howard, and Yao Ming will play very happily when he meets Howard.
It's an endless loop.
A cycle of mutual restraint between skill and physical fitness.
It's the same at point guard.
Westbrook and Qin Yang are two different types of players, Westbrook's physical fitness is simply invincible, and carrying people is to break through the inside line.
Qin Yang relied on height and skill, mainly shooting near the three-point line.
The two of them go head-to-head, which is actually very embarrassing.
Usually, the two don't really align themselves.
In the virtual training room, Qin Yang played against Westbrook and was abused by each other, and in this abuse, Qin Yang's defensive strength has also been significantly improved.
Many of the defensive players in the league have a lot of game experience, because they are abused a lot, and their defense can be improved.
On the second day, the Cavaliers conducted recovery drills.
Qin Yang still completed the strength training meticulously, and after a training, he was sweating.
"Bruce, you're growing in strength very quickly." James was also practicing strength on the sidelines, saying this in between trainings.
"Thank you," Qin Yang smiled and looked at James with envy: "I'm still far behind you, but I don't expect my strength to be so strong, as long as I don't suffer losses in the first and second positions." ”
"I think I'll be able to do it soon." James nodded, and said casually, "How's your agent?" I've mentioned it before, but the team manager reacts that many advertisers can't find your agent. ”
