In the history of the NBA, there are many actions that immediately associate a name with just a name.

Jordan's step-back jumper, LeBron's train breakaway, Dirk's Rooster Independence, O'Neal's Tarzan pressing. These actions have become the signature of the players, known as signature moves, and they don't even need to show a specific image, as long as there is a shadow outline, fans can recognize the user at a glance.

Sky hook is a unique skill that belongs to Abdul-Jabbar.

In the modern NBA, the sky hook is almost extinct, so why don't later interior players practice this skill? Is it because the sky hook is not practical?

Absolutely not, Abdul-Jabbar relied on the sky hook action that can be used with both left and right hands, crisscrossing the court for 20 years, and won the highest score in NBA history. There is no doubt about the practicality of the sky hook, even in today's NBA, if you can use the sky hook, you can still kill the Quartet.

It's really hard to do a good trick, and you have to have a lot of qualities to do well.

First, a soft feel. Second, a good medium-range range. Thirdly, when disturbed, you can still accurately move without deformation of strength and confrontation ability. Fourth, grasp the timing.

There are still a lot of players who can do the first three points, but the fourth point is very difficult.

The use of the sky hook is not all-weather and all-round and can be used at any time, otherwise Abdul-Jabbar only needs to catch the ball directly to the sky hook, no matter where your defender is, you can shoot, isn't it invincible in the world?

Looking closely at Abdul-Jabbar's game video, it is not difficult to find that Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook has a very special rhythm, and its starting time is earlier than the general hook, often before the body has completely turned into the face frame, the side to the basket is shot. But when the ball lands in the basket, it's a little later than the usual shot.

The principle of this rhythm is simple, the hook hand on the side to the basket. Using the width of your shoulders to increase the distance between the point of your shot and the opponent's block can ensure that you can shoot the ball more calmly. The action of starting to pick the ball from the height of the shoulders makes the basketball stay in the hand longer, and the timing of the shot is slightly earlier than the general hook.

This night and early in the morning, so that the day hook becomes difficult to prevent, if the defender interferes in accordance with the way of the general hook of the defense, when the defender jumps, the ball has already been thrown out, which is an early benefit.

And if the defender deliberately delays the jump, wait for the basketball to start and then jump. Then you will reach the high point too early because the basketball stays in your hand for too long, and you can only watch the basketball fly slowly over your head and into the frame.

How to grasp the timing of the morning and evening is the difficulty in the application of the technology of Tiangou, even if it is as strong as Abdul-Jabbar, there are times when it misses.

After all, the difference between the sky hook action and the ordinary hook hand is too big, and the general hook hand master wants to practice the day hook, and you will find that this kind of action can not follow to the end at all, and always hurriedly shoots when the ball is not in the best position, and the result is naturally not much better.

To talk about the similarity of technologies. The sky hook and the shooting action are somewhat similar.

In the era when Abdul-Jabbar was in the basketball world, the frequency of use of Tiangou was actually far less frequent than everyone imagined, because there were too many restrictions.

First of all. The defender has to be behind him, and the back has to be achieved, that's the foundation.

Second, within the range that the ball carrier will pass through when he hooks his own hook. There must not be interference from other players, otherwise, the opponent's small man on the outside will step forward. The basketball will be cut off immediately.

If you want to use the sky hook, you have to completely open up the space on one side of the court, and you can't let the opponent wrap it, due to the particularity of this technical action, it is difficult for the shooter to adjust and re-select the pass after starting to do the action, no way, the preparation time is too long.

This kind of tactical adjustment, basically the outside three-point point on the side of the day hook user to take away, in order to open up the space, half of the court almost has to be empty, it doesn't matter how many people are behind you, but at least three steps in front of you, it must be empty.

Now that Philadelphia's passing strategy has been fine-tuned, Iguodala has come to the top of the arc, and Miller's cover in the low post is a fairly ordinary starting shot. But in the previous game, Miller would not retreat to the strong side of the three-point line after the cover, he did not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, and the best choice at this time should be to take advantage of the chaos to kill directly to the weak side.

However, in this game, Miller chose to drop back and go outside the bottom corner three-point line where he was completely ineffective, with the goal of just getting Billups to the area and then completely empty the rib space near the restricted area.

76ers, the bet won.

"Another slap in the face!"

In the opening five minutes, Chen Mu won the hook in the low position for the second time, and the Pistons were caught off guard, and they were a little dazed by Chen Mu and Miller's broken strategy, and they failed to make adjustments in time to trap Chen Mu.

16-8, the 76ers took the lead on the road.

The Pistons attacked, Hamilton and Billups continued to cooperate, the two attracted the attention of Philadelphia's defense after consecutive passes, the basketball was slapped by Billups in the air, and a change of direction rushed to the basket, Webb immediately transferred the ball, and Prince on the weak side bypassed Rashid's cover to the basket and dunked successfully.

"The defensive end is a Chinese kid!"

Needless to say, Billups has already given defensive tactical instructions, and for the experienced All-Star point guard, that judgment is still there.

That's right, what Tiangou is most afraid of is the bag clip.

As mentioned earlier, the preparation time for the Sky Hook action is very long, the shooter has to look at the basket, squeeze the defender behind him, and make a shooting move, and there is no time to take care of the packer who comes from the outside. As long as the outside wrap is firm enough, breaking the ball is not difficult.

It can be said that when using the sky hook, it doesn't matter how many people defend behind you, anyway, the defender can't touch the ball anyway when you shoot (except for Zhang 20,000), even if there are 10,000 people behind you, you can only watch the shooter score easily.

But with the bag from the other side, the user of the Sky Hook can't guard against it at all.

Holding the ball on the bottom line, hitting Webb with his back, as soon as Chen Mu stood firm, a shadow hit in front of him.

Billups let go of Miller, who had no three-point threat at all, decisively pinched Chen Mu, and slapped it hard with a pair of fast hands, seeing that he was about to hit the basketball.

Chen Mu hurriedly collected the ball, fortunately, the sky hook action had not yet been made, otherwise the ball would have been broken a long time ago.

“StealIt！”

Billups was unwilling to let go of this great opportunity, stepped forward to attack fiercely, and kept slapping the basketball in Chen Mu's hand with both hands.

I expected it for a long time!

After spending the last SP points to buy the Tiangou move, Chen Mu already knew that a strong team like the Pistons would definitely have an extremely fast response, and his Tiangou technique would probably be completely restricted in a few times.

What should you do in this situation?

Chen Mu had a plan.

"Whoosh"

Just when Billups was about to shoot the basketball, Chen Mu suddenly raised the ball high, and Webber behind him moved slowly, and before he could raise his hand high for a steal, a black shadow flashed on the side of the three people who were in a mess.

Chen Mu didn't look at it, the basketball in his hand was suddenly thrown to the back of his head, almost grazing Webb's scalp and falling backwards, Rashid hurriedly stepped forward to grab the ball, but the figure was a step faster than him, stretched out his hands to catch the ball, and then jumped slowly, shaking Rashid's defense with a wonderful old man's rhythm, and hit a rebound.

"Miller, good shot!"

Chen Mu, who completed the exquisite pass, turned around and went back to the defense, and high-fived Miller in celebration.

Miller, who has always been calm, also smiled slightly, and seemed to be very satisfied with the cooperation between the two, and after high-fiveing Chen Mu, he said: "It's a thief!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Chen Mu smiled easily, and the two returned to their own half to guard against the Pistons' offense.

Looking at the excited and stoic expressions of the two, Billups, who dribbled forward, regretted it.

What a simple tactical match, after attracting the bag and sending a pass, although Miller is not good at mid-to-long range shooting, but there are many ways to score under the basket, after taking the ball, go straight to the basket, and score or hand to hand?

These boys are prepared!

In the next game, the two sides started a non-stop battle on the basket.

Chen Mu's sky hook naturally can't let him use it freely anymore, and the pistons want to shrink the bag clamp on the outside, but when he raises his eyes, he finds that if Billups, Prince, and Hamilton come to the bag, Miller, Iguodala, and Korver will get the opportunity to run freely.

Tiangou itself has a long preparation time, and it is difficult to grasp when Chen Mu will make a shot, even an old ball team like the Pistons is difficult to understand Chen Mu's shot options.

What about Rashid? Although his defensive Damham Porter does not have the ability to attack the basket from mid-range, he is not afraid of how many defenders are behind him. No matter how tall Rashid is, he can't smoothly interfere with Chen Mu's shot, and no matter how many people are piled up behind him, it is useless.

Open a little bit, open a little bit, with Chen Mu's strong play at this point, the 76ers' offensive is like a tide, and the positional battle has finally improved. In this process, the Pistons players found that when the Chinese kid was pushed by power, the stability of the shot increased a lot, and the original hemp pole that was pushed down by someone was long gone, replaced by an inner pillar with a few lines of muscle.

However, the 76ers can't prevent the Pistons' pervasive full-court cooperation, and in terms of player strength, the Pistons are better after all. After the halftime struggle, the Pistons failed to close the score, but the point difference did not widen.

When the halftime whistle blew, there was still an 8-point gap, the fans of Auburn Hills Palace were silent, and when the players withdrew from the passage, the pair of 76ers players in the past, especially the overwhelming boos for Chen Mu, weakened a lot, and many fans were confused, and it seemed that they had not recovered from the shock of the opening 76ers taking the lead.

Chinese kid, ...... evolved again! (To be continued......)
