Chapter 341: Three Positions!

"How's it going, B52......"

Standing in front of Bernard King, Gu Yu's feelings and expressions now are completely different from before.

"Do you want to learn......??"

Bernard King stretched out his hand and beckoned lightly to Gu Yu, acting like Bruce Lee back then, but with a little less anger, and more unique joy that many predecessors would have when they discovered Puyu.

It's really not easy......!

Although I already knew in my heart that being able to receive Bernard's advice was definitely something to be proud of and excited about.

But now, after really feeling the scoring maniac trick in front of him, Gu Yu's psychology has undergone extremely huge changes.

Once upon a time, Gu Yu felt that among his peers, he was one of the players who knew Bernard King the best.

That's right, Bernard King's style of play is too classical, there are no three-point shots, he rarely holds the ball and rarely holds the ball to the top of the arc heads-up, and the offensive means are basically layups, mid-range shots, back-to-back shots, empty shots after hand-to-hand handing, air cuts, etc., those basketball textbooks, the scoring methods marked early on.

This style of play and technical characteristics are really unpopular in today's era.

The speed is too slow, the speed is too slow, and the whole team needs to stand still and wait for him to ISO singles......

All these characteristics are so incompatible with today's era of emphasizing quick ball transfer, reducing individual singles, and focusing on teamwork.

Not to mention Bernard King, even Kobe, who was still calling for wind and rain a few years ago, now has to make changes to his style of play.

Of course, a large part of this is due to Kobe's age, as well as injuries, team lineup changes and other factors.

But if you look at Kobe's long career objectively enough, you will find that his style of play is constantly improving and changing with the progress of the times.

Why do so many people come and go, so many players are short-lived, so many teams never stop rising and falling, but Kobe Bryant has always stood on the highest peak of the league, with a few people, overlooking all beings?

This self-regulation, the ability to keep up with the times, is the key.

Bernard King's peak days are far too long ago. The rhythm at that time, the style of play at that time, the style of the different teams at that time, and even many details of the rules of the game were far from today.

After ten years, you can find a way to learn Kobe's technical characteristics and style of play, of course, as long as you are determined enough, your physical foundation is good enough, and your skills are good enough, you can still succeed.

Thirty years later, however, to learn the ...... Bernard King?

Whether it can be successful, Gu Yu himself also has doubts about the answer to this question.

After watching countless videotapes, Gu Yu was even more firm in his opinion:

Bernard King's technique and sense of scoring, his judgment of the situation on the pitch, are certainly worth learning from himself.

But some of his offensive habits are not so suitable for today's era.

Contrary to popular belief, Bernard King is not a serious outside scorer.

Whether it's Jerry West, Dr. J Irving, or even the Flyer Jordan, in their era, the style of play is more typical of traditional outside play, which is the so-called "classical".

But Bernard King is a low-level maniac.

He averaged 33 points per game in his peak season, at least half of which he had been plundered by his tireless efforts to get to the low post every game and destroy every defender.

This situation, it seems that we have seen it with Kobe Bryant, Jordan, and the previously mentioned Pierce is also on this list. They use good back-to-back skills to kill all sides in this era, and no one can stop them.

But why does Gu Yu think that Bernard King's style of play will not be too suitable for modern basketball......?

“B52…… B52?? ”

“…… I'm here!! ”

"I@#¥%......"

Bernard King wanted to remind Gu Yu and return his attention to himself, but Gu Yu opened his mouth and said a word, which made him almost choke on saliva.

After sorting out the train of thought that was disrupted by Gu Yu, Bernard King continued: "I ask you, do you want to learn?" ”

“…… Think! ”

Gu Yu nodded without hesitation.

"Okay."

Bernard King was obviously very satisfied with Gu Yu's answer, nodded and smiled: "Follow me." ”

After saying this, Bernard King glanced at Westfaal, the old man nodded, handed over a few words to the staff around him, and asked the staff to take Bernard King and Gu Yu to the sub-training ground that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Who else do you want to learn? You can come here. ”

When he walked to the door, Bernard King seemed to suddenly remember that it was a bit too blatantly unfair, and hurriedly turned around and added.

"I'm coming!"

Cousins waited for this sentence for a long time, and hurriedly chased after him in three steps and two steps.

The rest of the people stood still.

“…… Tyrek, aren't you going? ”

Marcus Thornton looked at Evans beside him and asked, "What a rare opportunity!" The great god taught, learned the absolute combat power to rise several steps! ”

“…… So why don't you go? ”

Evans asked rhetorically.

"I ......"

Thorton scratched his head and said, "I'm not in this style!" You know, I'm still more used to attacking with the frame and playing low back? I'm too short. ”

"Aren't I the same?"

Evans shrugged.

"How could it be the same!"

Thorton was puzzled: "You are taller than me, stronger than me, and your physical condition is naturally the material for beating your back!" Look at my cousin, he's so much shorter than you, doesn't he go to school anyway?? ”

"It's different......"

Evans shook his head and sighed: "I don't have enough shooting threats, a lot of back-to-back movements, and defenders don't jump at all. If you can't shake off people, any back movement is meaningless. It's nice that I can learn the outside back-to-body skills that are now mainstream, Bernard King...... Not my thing. ”

"That's what I said......"

Thorton nodded, looked back and saw that Thompson was also standing still, and asked, "You are an inside line, you don't want to learn??" ”

"Not every inside line can learn this kind of footstep......"

Thompson said helplessly: "Look at McGee, he also learned a summer of fantasy dance moves with Olajuwon, what do you think he has learned??" ”

This......

Thorton was completely understood.

The rest of the Kings players around him have no intention of keeping up and learning, obviously because they have a clear understanding of their own strength and potential.

If they had had had the opportunity to play with a big theologian like Bernard King when they had just started to get into basketball, they would definitely not hesitate to catch up immediately.

But now, after the brutal baptism of professional basketball, the players have clearly recognized their limits.

Not everyone has the right to learn these things.

On the other side, the secondary training ground.

"You see, I'm right."

Bernard King looked at Gu Yu and Cousins in front of him and said with a smile: "Only the two of you have a chance to learn." ”

"They are self-aware~"

Gu Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't sell it, start quickly!" ”

"There's no hurry."

Bernard King laughed, "Can any of you tell me what's the difference between my back-to-back offense and the back-to-back offense of the outside players in the league right now?" ”

"Uh......"

Cousins frowned, "Your movements are more handsome?" ”

"Hahaha, that's one of the differences......!" Bernard King was amused by Cousins' clumsy sycophancy.

"Dog, you've changed, you've actually started to pat yourself on the back! See if I don't kill you turtle grandson! Gu Yu made a gesture to hit someone.

"B52, tell me about it?"

When Bernard King looked at Gu Yu, there was always a brilliance in his eyes, obviously he valued Gu Yu very much.

His basketball IQ ...... You can see the difference, right?

If even he can't see it, then it seems that my skills are going to be completely lost......

"Uh-huh, if you want me to say, the biggest difference is the location."

Gu Yu said a word, which really made Bernard King's eyes light up.

“…… Go on. ”

Bernard King was looking forward to Gu Yu's answer.

"Now many people probably don't know much, and they won't subdivide it, as long as it is with the ball on the back, it is a back-to-back single, and almost all of them are collectively referred to as low-post singles."

Gu Yu continued: "But there are three positions in the back singles. ”

…… What else do you say??

Cousins, a master trained in college basketball, has not understood this content in detail.

It's not that the coaches didn't say it, it's just that this difference in position is no longer so important in an era where the concept of position is becoming more and more blurred. As a result, the coaches almost never go into details, and the players don't look into it.

Gu Yu, who grew up in old videotapes since he was a child, knows everything clearly.

"One is the high post, which is near the free throw line, or further outside."

Gu Yu pointed to the free throw line and said: "In this position, the back is generally the main strategy, supplemented by turning and breaking through or shooting." For example, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, and some old-school point guards will be on their backs at this distance. ”

Well...... I know that.

Cousins nodded, the so-called high-low connection, is talking about this kind of coordination. The most typical example is Webber's king, Webber will often hold the ball with his back in the high post, waiting for Bibby and others to cut to the basket, and a back pass will make a subtle assist.

The high post has the best visibility and the most space to handle the ball, making it a very strategic position.

However, because it is too far away from the basket and the threat of direct attack to the basket is mediocre, it is not very aggressive.

"The second position is the mid-range, which generally refers to the half-volley space between the free throw line and the basket."

Gu Yu continued: "Derk Nowitzki, Jordan, and Kobe Bryant are mostly in this position. ”

"And what about me......

Bernard King asked.

"The weirdest thing about you is here."

Gu Yu said: "You are an outside scorer, but when you have your back, your position is ...... in the real sense of the word!" ”
