After the game, Westbrook specifically asked Chen Yan for advice on rebounding.
Chen Yan has won many triple-doubles this season, and also won a 2020d large double-double. In addition to statistics, Chen Yan grabs backcourt rebounds and often performs one-stop fast breaks. Westbrook draws inspiration from Chen Yan's playing style.
.
Chen Yan's style of play cannot be imitated by ordinary guards, because even if someone helps block the position, it is difficult for ordinary guards to grab so many rebounds. However, Westbrook is big enough and has strong physical fitness. He feels that he can learn this style of play.
Law.
"Hey! Chen, tell me your tips for rebounding. I really want to know. Do you want to further enhance your jumping? Or something else?" Westbrook asked.
"Many players will fall into a misunderstanding, that is, to grab rebounds, they must jump high and bounce quickly. In fact, this is wrong. Bounce is not necessary for rebounding. Look at Jason Kidd, he is a typical example.
A floor guard, but the current triple-double king, averaging 8.2 rebounds per game at the peak of his career." Chen Yan answered Westbrook's question seriously.
"Then what's the most important thing about rebounding as a defender?" Westbrook continued to ask.
"First of all, you must occupy a favorable position. Positioning is the key to rebounding. Before the basketball pops up, let your body be closer to the basket than the opponent and get it stuck behind you. This is crucial for rebounding, but
As an outside player, it is impossible to get stuck every time, so we have to use a skill here, which is to rush for rebounds."
Westbrook nodded, and he also noticed that Chen Yan got most of the rebounds by rushing.
So here comes the key, how to rush for rebounds?
I also tried to use brute force to rush and grab Westbrook in the game, but I was almost exhausted and couldn't grab a few, and there was a risk of injury.
Chen Yan further answered: "If you want to easily grab the rebound, you must learn to predict the trajectory of the basketball. Usually the falling direction of the basketball is related to the shooting angle. When shooting at a 45-degree angle on the left and right sides, we can find that the big
Most of the time, the ball also pops up to both sides. When shooting in the middle area, the probability of the basketball landing on the front of the basket is higher. When shooting from the bottom corners on both sides, part of the ball will bounce to the zero angle on the opposite side, and the other part will bounce to the opposite side.
The ball will bounce back. The landing point of the ball is related to the arc of the shot. You must also understand the characteristics of the shooting players. Players with a high shooting arc will also bounce high, but not far, usually near the penalty area. Players with a low shooting arc will
Take Tracy McGrady, for example, sometimes you can pick up his missed shots at the free throw line."
"Of course, I was exaggerating when I said that bouncing is not important. When you have good positioning skills and anticipation awareness, then if you want to go further, you must use take-off technology. There are many ways to take off, including one-legged take-off.
, run-up and take-off, and two-foot take-off, these may seem like small details, but in fact they seriously affect whether you can successfully collect the rebound. The take-off time is also very important. If the take-off time is early, the ball will not fall until you fall. This rebound
It basically has no chance with you. If you jump late, it will be the same as not jumping at all. By the time you adjust it to the air, the ball may already be in the hands of others.
Chen Yan spoke in detail, and Westbrook nodded repeatedly. He didn't expect that he had such profound knowledge about rebounding.
Although Chen Yan is only in his second year this year, he is a senior to rookie Westbrook. Like Kobe, he is not stingy with his juniors and will teach them everything they want.
Westbrook feels that he has learned a lot, but it is all theoretical knowledge. Basketball theory is like the internal skills and mental methods of martial arts novels. Without the coordination of moves, it is just a decoration. Talking is useless. If you want to truly learn to rebound, you must practice and compete.
to practice.
After the rookie game, Durant invited Chen Yan to go to the bar with him.
Durant rarely takes the initiative to go to bars, but today he is very happy, defeating Chen Yan and winning the Rookie Challenge MVP.
Chen Yan's game spread across the entire Pacific Ocean, and his All-Star Weekend schedule is full, and the Rookie Challenge is the most inconspicuous event among them.
For Durant, the rookie game is the only event he participates in during the All-Star Weekend, so he takes it very seriously and will try his best to win an MVP.
Xiaoshuai was very happy. Finally, his limelight was not stolen by Chen Yan.
Chen Yan also called up his teammate DeAndre Jordan, who was participating in this year's Rookie Challenge, and the three of them went to one of the hottest nightclubs in Phoenix.
Due to the All-Star Weekend, there was already a long queue at the door of the nightclub, but Chen Yan easily brought the two brothers in without queuing.
He is a superstar in this city, and he still has this privilege.
The three of them sat around the table, looking at the wine glasses on the table and Jordan's face that looked exactly like Uncle Liu, Chen Yan couldn't help but think of the scene of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan.
There are a lot more hot girls in the nightclub than usual. Due to the All-Star Weekend, there are many more starlets and models here.
Jordan was dazzled by what he saw, while Durant turned on his sultry mode, pretending to be drinking but actually kept peeking around.
Jordan saw through Durant's eyes and moved closer to him.
"How about that?" Little Jordan pointed to a big butt not far away.
Durant pretended to glance casually: "Not bad."
"What about that one?" Jordan asked, pointing to a 190cm long-legged model.
"Well enough."
"How about that?" Little Jordan pointed to a hot girl with big waves dancing not far away.
Durant couldn't hold back after seeing it and put down his glass: "Wtf? Does this have a G cup?"
Jordan said calmly: "H cup."
"Do you know him?" Durant glanced at Jordan.
"I saw it in a magazine. His name is Jordan Carver. He is a porn star." Little Jordan said.
Chen Yan added: "KD, this may be your only chance to beat Jordan in your life."
KD swallowed and thought for a while but still didn't strike up a conversation. He wanted to strike but was afraid of failure. This was his character. Although Durant was already well-known in the NBA, he was still not confident, especially in the presence of others.
outside.
Compared to striking up conversations in real life, he prefers to like various beauties on the Internet.
Seeing KD's lack of action, Jordan thought he was not good at this. The next second he rushed to Jordan Carver and struck up a conversation. The two chatted and laughed and quickly exchanged numbers.
Chen Yan spread his hands: "kd, your ability to seize opportunities needs to be improved."
Durant shrugged: "I don't care."
In addition to being arrogant and having low self-esteem, Durant's tough talk is also a major characteristic.
"Be happy, mvp, tonight is your night." Durant has a very sensitive personality, and Chen Yan takes good care of his emotions.
"cheers."
"cheers."
The two clinked glasses, and suddenly Durant's eyes lit up: "Chen, are these two beautiful Asian girls your cup of tea?"
Chen Yan looked in the direction of kd's finger: "It's indeed beautiful, but I'm not interested. I have a girlfriend."
Durant smiled: "What does it matter? Taylor Swift is not here anyway."
Black people generally have a worse sense of morality. Cheating, stealing food, etc. are routine operations in their world.
Durant continued: "But now you have no chance to strike up a conversation."
I saw two strong black men walking up to two Asian girls. After saying a few words, a strong black man tried to have some intimacy with one of the girls, but was pushed away by the girl.
The girl's friend showed no mercy and directly poured the wine in the glass on the black man's face.
There were screams all around, as if a good show was about to take place,
Another black man directly grabbed the Asian girl's wrist, and the girl directly hit his crotch with her pointed high heels.
A fatal chicken.
"god!"
Durant covered his roots as if he was feeling the same.
"Wow! The show is on." Durant just finished speaking and looked at Chen Yan's seat, which was already empty.
Turning around again, Chen Yan had already rushed in front of the two black men causing trouble.
This is the time for heroes to save beauties!
The hero who saves the beauty is Anthony, but the hero who saves the beauty badly is Pierce.
At that time, Anthony played a heroic role in a bar and married his current wife, Lala. Pierce was the reverse of Anthony. He was stabbed 13 times in a nightclub because of a conflict with a woman and almost lost his life.
But the combat effectiveness of Pierce, Anthony and Chen Yan is not on the same level.
Chen Yan's fighting skills will be weakened outside the stadium, but they are still more than enough to deal with two ordinary black men.
Just when the black man was about to raise his hand to hit one of the Asian girls, Chen Yan kicked her sideways and knocked her to the ground.
The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is fast. Chen Yan is the ultimate run-and-gun fighter on the court, and he also likes to fight quickly and decisively off the court.
Another black man who was kicked covered his chicken with his left hand and picked up a beer bottle with his right hand.
Looking for props against Chen Yan is a wise choice, but he is too slow.
As soon as he raised the bottle, Chen Yan hit him in the face with a deliberate punch.
The black man also fell to the ground as if he had lost gravity.
KO two people in a row!
Not far away, Jordan whistled: "mvp!"
After this shouting, many people recognized Chen Yan and shouted "mvp" while taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Chen Yan was speechless. He originally wanted to keep a low profile. After all, fighting was not a glorious thing. The whole world knew about what Jordan did.
