Chapter Nine

After having a profound experience of Ginobili's stunts, Radar knew that he was still far away from a real snake-like breakthrough, and this would definitely become his killer weapon in the future.

"Lei, I'm very happy that someone was able to learn the snake break. Thank you for keeping this skill from being buried in history when I retire."

Ginobili is happy. At their age, it is unlikely that he will play. Even if he comes back, it will be to support the new Spurs players. There is nothing happier than having someone to succeed him, and it is also a unique stunt.

There are countless basketball fans in the world who don't know it, but what Ginobili knows is that he himself knows it, and the radar has learned it, that's all, and this person is still on the Spurs.

"Thank you, Manu. I think the snake breakthrough is very useful. I won't let it be buried like this."

Manu was very pleased. Although he liked this defender from China very much and was tempted by the delicious food, he didn't expect that Radar was really talented.

"Lei, we can start defensive training." Daidai suggested.

"Tim, most of your skills are interior defensive skills, and Radar is a defender. I think it's me who should do it." Ginobili rushed to say.

He stared blankly at Manu. Do you want the few hairs left on your head?

Feeling this death glare, Manu immediately shut up.

Regardless of inside or outside defense, the skills are similar.

"Ley, do you think you can defend Russell Westbrook?" Dudu asked.

Westbrook, with his explosive power and physical fitness, even Chris Paul bluntly said that he can't guard Westbrook, and he is somewhat sure. Although his defense is not bad, when facing the NBA's most valuable player, this former

I'm afraid it will be very difficult to defend.

Radar shook his head and said bluntly: "I think I might not be able to guard against him."

"You are very honest." Daidai said: "It can be said that there are very few defenders among active players who can guard Russell. If he was easy to defend, he would not be able to average a triple-double per game."

"His ability to get to the basket is very strong. If you play against him, I think you should try to draw offensive fouls on him."

Making offensive fouls is very common in the NBA, but it is not easy to do. This requires you to judge his offensive route in advance to achieve the "cylinder law."

That is, if you can't open your hands and move your feet, you are just a target for him to hit you.

"I'd better teach you some tricks!"

Radar nodded in agreement.

It's rare for Daidai to talk so much. For the sake of radar, he started with the most basic defense, which is also the most effective.

Correct your defensive posture. When defending, your legs should be naturally separated, a little longer than shoulder width apart, and your knees should be slightly bent inward. Your arms should be straight and spread outward, rocking back and forth up and down.

Block the defensive advantageous position in advance. When the opponent wants to attack, you must judge its route in advance. If the opponent wants to make a three-step layup, you must block his offensive route in advance and not let him take the first step.

Keep a good defensive distance. If the distance is too close, the opponent will make a fake move to turn around; if the distance is too far, the opponent will dribble past in disguise.

When facing a player who likes to play from behind, you must block his feet in advance and prevent him from turning around and shooting.

"By the way, there is another very important point. This is a mistake that many defenders make. In one-on-one defense, you must keep an eye on the person. If he passes the ball, don't run with the basketball immediately, because the ball may be passed back.

If you had walked away you would have missed it."

Radar was convinced, and the dumb professor made him agree. He had seen many CBA players just follow the ball and make mistakes.

"Lei, many defensive players in the NBA have some small moves on their hands, such as iron elbows and stepping feet. You have to be careful with these in the future."

While Duncan was talking, he was doing some simple demonstrations. Manu couldn't stand it anymore and said:

"Lei, I think you need someone to practice with, but I'm getting older and may need a bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms to make up for it!"

Radar almost burst into laughter after hearing this. Are you Argentinians also so humorous?

Just talking and not practicing tricks, now that there is an experienced veteran in front of him, a bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms is nothing.

"No problem, I will talk to the king."

Manu just worked hard for a bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Manu attacked and Radar defended. Manu came first to play from behind, which is not what he is good at, but when Radar got close to him, he had already turned around and rushed towards the basket.

Radar followed closely behind and could keep up with the speed, but Manu still changed hands under the basket and scored.

"Come again!" Radar was a master who refused to admit defeat. The second time, Manu was unable to turn around, so he had to give up his back and attack from the front.

Manu has many fake moves on his hands, including shooting fakes and passing fakes. His feints make Radar feel inferior.

"Lei, you did a good job. You need to be so active and proactive in defense." Standing aside said.

"Also, when defending, you can't be afraid, stay calm and improve your reaction speed."

In addition to his shooting, Radar has always been proud of his speed and reaction ability. Fast reaction ability means more accurate judgment. This is the main reason why he has double figures in steals in a single game in the CBA.

Manu's dribbling and breakthrough were very strange, and Radar had to create space with him, which gave him enough time to make a judgment.

But as soon as the space opened up, Manu immediately chose to shoot, although he failed to hit due to radar interference.

"Lei, your space is too big. You must control the distance properly."

This defensive training lasted until the afternoon. It wasn't that Radar didn't want to continue, but Manu was too tired and couldn't speak anymore.

From the beginning, Manu successfully broke through, with a shooting rate as high as 70%, to being blocked by Radar in the offensive route, blocked layups, and blocked dribbles. Manu bluntly said that Radar will definitely be both offensive and defensive in the future.

At the end of today's training, Radar is quite satisfied. The two big guys taught me a lot, which will be of great help to my NBA game.

They also told themselves some of the characteristics of the players, such as Deng's three-pointers, Curry's three-pointers, and Irving's butterfly steps. They all have certain experience in how to defend these, so that Radar will also have experience when encountering them in the future.

Prepare mentally.

Before the start of the new season, Reda has been training hard, and occasionally takes Dadai and Manu to his house for dinner. He also invited Popovich. The old man refused the first two times, but the third time he couldn't stand the hard invitation of Reda. Ma

Nu was so excited that he reluctantly agreed.

After that, Bobo also took great care of Radar, and often gave Radar pointers when nothing happened.

You must know that the Spurs are recognized as the team that is best at cultivating international players, precisely because they have Popovich, who is known as "Sydney".

Time passed in training, and the new season was about to arrive. Radar played two preseason games for the Spurs and won both of them.
