Chapter 628: The Most Accurate Free Thrower in the Active
"It's not a big deal, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, it's just a game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Tang Shuai said.
"Well, it's fine, if it's seriously injured because of this, I'll feel very guilty." Calderon said with a smile.
Tang Shuai smiled and nodded, the confrontation in the game is very normal, this kind of minor injury is inevitable, Calderon also made a special trip to the locker room to comfort him after the game, this is rare, this may have something to do with people's personalities, Calderon is different from most NBA players after all, and Spain's basketball culture is still quite good.
After the exchange, he was about to return to the locker room with a polite word, but just as he was about to speak, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Calderon, it seems to be the most accurate free thrower in the game?!
Calderon is famous in international basketball, but he is not too well-known in the NBA, and there are only two things that really impress him.
The first is the assist-to-turnover ratio, he averaged 4.5 per game in his career, and reached 5.4 at the highest, although the assist ability is not the best, but because of the few breakthroughs, coupled with stable organizational output, this technical statistic, he can be said to be the complete explosion of all active players.
And the other one, is the free throw, as the second most consecutive free throws in NBA history, he once hit 87 free throws in a single season, you must know that he sometimes can't get free throws in a game, but no matter how long it is, as long as there is a free throw opportunity, he can always hit the free throw, free throw stability can be called historic, and what is even more terrifying is that he is the player with the highest free throw shooting rate in a single season in history, in the 08~09 season, his free throw shooting rate in a single season is 98.1%!
It's an exaggerated concept, intuitively speaking, he made a total of 158 free throws that season, but he only missed 3 free throws!
Tang Shuai didn't fully remember these numbers, but he suddenly realized that the embarrassed scumbag standing in front of him, who looked almost old enough to retire, was the most suitable target for him to drop the free throw bag.
And now, because of an accidental injury, they actually took a picture!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he scanned Calderon's skill pack with the packing system.
Because of age and injuries, most of Calderon's skill versions have been weakened, but even so, the weakened free throw bag is still purple!
Calderon noticed that Tang Shuai was staring at him, and his expression was getting more and more excited, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "Don, if it's okay, I'll go back to the locker room first." ”
"Wait a minute." Tang Shuai interrupted Calderon and continued, "Carl, are you free tomorrow morning?" I'd like to ask you to talk about something. ”
"Talk about things? And me? Calderon's eyes flashed with doubts, there seemed to be only a wrist injury between him and Tang Shuai, so he didn't want to slander him, right?
"Yes." Tang Shuai nodded, then smiled bitterly and said, "I have encountered some dilemmas, about free throws, if you can?" ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Calderón, he made such a request very presumptuously, even a little abruptly, after all, he and Calderón are not familiar with each other.
"Penalties, I see, I know you're in trouble with that."
Calderon's reaction made Tang Shuai breathe a sigh of relief.
"...... then," he said, looking at Calderón.
"Yes." Calderon thought for a while and said, "There is no training for the team tomorrow morning, and I originally planned to rest a little later, but since you brought it up, I can't refuse, so I will treat it as a ......."
He said and looked at Tang Shuai's wrist: "Let's pay compensation this time." ”
Hearing Calderon agree, Tang Shuai was excited in his heart, Calderon's free throw report was not much better than Batum's, his luck was really good, he held back the excitement in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
Calderon smiled, then motioned for himself to go back to the locker room.
Sending Calderon away, Tang Shuai didn't stop, and then said directly to Grant: "Jerryn, do you have time at night?" I see that your dribbling is still shaky, I can try to teach you some tricks. ”
……
After a night of training with Grant, Tang managed to get the blue free throw bag he wanted.
The next morning, instead of getting on the plane back to Los Angeles with his teammates, he stayed in Los Angeles.
Compared with other techniques, there are not many skills to talk about in free throws, but after the two came into contact, Tang Shuai still learned a lot from Calderón, such as standing up straight when making free throws, naturally splitting his legs and parallel to his shoulders, and bending his knees before the penalty to borrow strength.
Although these basic techniques are involved in his usual training, Calderon has made some adjustments to his physical details, not to mention, although he has not yet packed, but after the adjustment, his shooting percentage has improved a lot compared to before.
When the guidance was almost complete, Tang Shuai then said: "Jose, I know that in addition to free throws, your projection is also quite good, don't mind if we play a game." ”
"Okay, I don't know what you want to play? If it's a bullfight, I'll just admit defeat, I'm not as good as you. Calderon was real, and after Tang Shuai made a request, he said with a smile.
"We don't play bullfighting, and in our country, there is a basketball game that is perfect for leisure after playing." Tang Shuai shook his head and said.
"Oh? What is that? Calderon looked at Tang Shuai curiously.
"Climb the stairs." Tang Shuai said.
"Climb...... Staircase? Calderon looked at Tang Shuai suspiciously, obviously not knowing what he meant by climbing stairs.
"Yes, stairs climbing, it's like climbing stairs, starting from the closest position to the rim in the restricted area, shooting up in turn, after the free throw line, then going around the other side and going down, and finally the three-pointer." Tang Shuai opened his mouth to explain.
"Oh, I know, I know this game you're talking about, I used to play with other people when I was playing in Spanish high school." Calderon looked abruptly enlightened.
Tang Shuai nodded, Calderon's reaction was a little unexpected, but he quickly said: "Let's do five laps and see who finishes first." ”
"Yes." Calderon nodded and said, "But which of us starts first?" ”
"Let's play a mid-circle shot, whoever shoots first starts first, you first." Tang Shuai followed.
"Well, you're welcome." Calderon seemed interested in the game and walked around the center circle with his basketball.
The shooting in the middle circle, except for people like Curry, is a shot of luck greater than accuracy for everyone else, and it is also for Tang Shuai.
Calderón made a run of more than two meters in front of the center circle after a long preparation.
"Bang!"
The basketball slashed through the high parabola in the air and smashed onto the basket, and his first attempt to hit the center circle missed.
Then came Tang Shuai, who, after preparing for a while, also began to shoot.
"Bang!"
Like Calderon, his mid-circle three-pointers are also deflected off the basket, which is different from three-pointers, and he doesn't have much of an advantage.
Over the next few minutes, the two men tried their shots in the center circle, and it wasn't until the fifth attempt that Calderón hit a lucky ball that hit the basket, jumped high and fell into the net.
Calderon had the opportunity to shoot first.
Tang Shuai didn't care much about this result, after all, this mid-circle shot was just a warm-up, and the real contest was the time to climb the stairs later.
After getting the white chocolate passing bag through the 3v3 packaging method last time, Tang Shuai's understanding of the packaging system has also risen to a higher level, and he does not have to stick to the packaging method of bullfighting, which gives him more room for improvement.
As soon as Calderon started shooting, he began a new packing journey.
Climbing stairs is a comparison of the stability of a player's open shot, and he tests the accuracy of the player's shooting accuracy in almost every position.
Calderon started his first shot from the left side and quickly found his touch, climbing up the stairs to the low post on the right, and he did it all the way from start to finish.
It's not impossible for a professional player to make such a shot.
Then came the three-point shot.
Calderon got to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, took aim, and then shot.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Calderon's three-point shot was quite consistent.
"It's the second lap." Calderon said to Tang Shuai with a smile.
Tang Shuai smiled, but his expression was also focused, he thought that Calderon had not played this game, and he could find some advantages with experience, but now it seems that the game is much more difficult than imagined.
In the second lap, Calderón still continued to have a good hand and still completed it without conceding a single goal.
"Don, it looks like you're probably not going to get a shot." Calderon said with a smile.
"Perhaps." Tang Shuai said with a smile that although Calderon is very stable, it is not easy to not concede a goal in all five rounds.
Sure enough, on the right side of the free throw line in the third lap, Calderon's shot went wide of the basket.
Seeing the basketball jumping out of the basket, Calderon shook his head helplessly, obviously he didn't expect to throw it either.
In fact, if he was at the peak of the 08-09 season, there was indeed a great possibility that he would have completed all five laps, but now he is a little older, and his stability is much weaker than it was then.
And at this time, Tang Shuai's will come.
Tang Shuai took a deep breath to relax his muscles, and then took the ball and began to throw.
From the start, he maintained a fairly high level of focus, and judging by Calderón's performance, there weren't many opportunities that allowed him to make mistakes.
In the first lap, the shots of "swish" hit sounded one after another, and there was no problem, and he made the final three-pointer steadily.
When Calderon shot three points in front, the aiming time was still relatively long, after all, the three-point shooting was the most difficult shot in the game of climbing the stairs, but Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the three-point line.
Three-point shooting is where he excels. (To be continued.) )
