Chapter 55 Advanced Defense Skills
It's four in the morning at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
After swiping his card, Su Yi opened the door and entered.
Kobe Bryant is alone, in an empty gym, doing shootaround.
Corvo picked up the basketball from the basketball cart and repeated the shot.
Crunches, kicks, backs, hands.
Su Yi stood on the sidelines and watched. Sure enough, my shooting was beautiful, so I didn't bother Corvo.
After Kobe shot all the basketballs on the basketball cart, he noticed Su Yi.
It was a month ago that Su Yi came to Staples for training last time.
During his absence, Kobe could not find a competitive opponent.Training alone is too boring, so I still have a feeling of nostalgia for Su Yi.
Kobe looked Su Yi up and down, and his eyes were still eager for victory, just like a month ago.
"You came."
"I am coming."
"I knew you would come."
"Of course I will!"
"A long month."
"What a short month."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and then began to fight each other tacitly.
Kobe attacked, Su Yi defended.
The mamba dance is on, looking for the prey's flaws at any time.
Su Yi quickly adjusted his defensive position, like an iron wall that could move flexibly.
Obviously, Su Yi's defense has improved a lot since he first came to the Staples Center.
In the end, Kobe turned into three irons.
"Kobe, it looks like you don't feel very good." Su Yi scratched the back of his head.
Kobe was silent for a while, he knew that his condition was actually not bad, but now it was impossible to imagine scoring easily on Su Yi like before.
"Come again!"
Kobe concentrated all his attention and burned with absolute fighting spirit.
Su Yi also adjusted his breath, ready to meet Mamba's ever-changing attacks at any time.
Su Yi held his breath and concentrated, feeling Kobe's rhythm changes. Every time he defended Kobe, he would explode to his greatest potential.
Lightning and thunder began outside the window, and it began to rain lightly in Los Angeles in the early morning.
The muscles of the two collided violently.
Su Yi used his most oppressive defensive method to limit Kobe's shots.
Kobe also continued to challenge the high difficulty, leaning back from the most unimaginable angle.
A gust of wind blew up outside the window, and the torrential rain began to fall. The two of them could not feel the change in the outside environment at all.
In the end, Su Yi managed to limit Kobe's shooting rate to about 40%. Many of Kobe's balls were fairy balls, and he really had no choice.
"It seems that your defense has improved a little recently, and you can even put some pressure on me." Kobe put away the basketball and looked at Su Yi seriously.
"It's also possible, it's just that I have adjusted my state recently." Su Yi responded in a low-key manner, in order to make himself look less like Versailles.
He understands that Corvo's character basically doesn't praise others, and hearing Kobe say that proves that he has actually quite recognized himself.
And if he can always limit Kobe to today's shooting percentage, he can be regarded as a defensive champion in the league.
Just about to be happy, Kobe suddenly changed the subject.
"But if you want to enter the league, if you want to restrain the Mamba at the most critical moment, you haven't done enough now, and that's exactly what I'm going to teach you today." Kobe looked at Su Yi mysteriously .
"What do you mean?" Su Yi didn't understand what Kobe meant.
"Mamba Mentality."
With the cold rain still falling outside, Kobe's expression was extremely serious, and every word he uttered was resounding.
"All ears." The corners of Su Yi's mouth rose slightly, and he found that things were starting to become interesting.
"You have to know that the league is not a child's play, so don't be complacent about the achievements in front of you. Rough physical confrontation, endless injuries...these are what every player has to encounter and overcome."
Kobe continued: "So what you have to do is to do every detail well."
Su Yi nodded, looking forward to the following content.
"Let me breathe soul into your defense."
With that said, Kobe handed the basketball to Su Yi, and continued, "Imagine, now you are Tracy McGrady."
Su Yi imitated McGrady's appearance and faced Kobe with a big hand to catch the ball with one hand.
The moment he got into the pose, he suddenly felt a strong impact on his legs, as if they were about to fall apart.
Obviously, after Kobe went all out to defend, this was an unprecedented defensive intensity he felt.
"You have to figure out how to make the opponent most uncomfortable. McGrady's weakness is his legs and lower back."
"I'd get under him and hit his legs hard and make him uncomfortable. The goal was to make him breathless and take away any chance he might have scored."
"That is to say, to take advantage of the opponent's weakness?" Su Yi was thoughtful.
"As the best hunter in the world, the Black Mamba will never let go of any weakness of the opponent." Kobe paused, and continued, "This is the league, not a child's play house game, and the opponent will target him infinitely. your weakness."
"But this kind of defense doesn't look very friendly."
With a cold light in his eyes, Kobe said: "Mamba has only one goal, and that is the championship."
Then continued: "Just imagine, now you are LeBron."
Su Yi pretended to straighten his headband, then blew into his palm, hammered his chest hard twice, and then gave the ball to Kobe.
"LeBron is taller and stronger than me, but I enjoy hitting and being hit more."
"He prefers to face you directly with his body instead of using his forearm to create a cushion. This is more beneficial, and you can try to push him away with your hands to get a chance to turn."
"In the next round, he has to expend more energy, and you can take advantage of the situation to turn around to the baseline, or make a sudden or throw."
"Now you're Kevin Durant, and he has flaws in his game. I attack those weaknesses."
"When he breaks through on the right side, the hit rate of Ganba cannot be guaranteed, and he will be at a loss when he gets to the penalty area, so try to force him to the right side."
Unexpectedly, Corvo has studied every one of the opponents in the alliance very thoroughly, and these issues have not been considered by himself before.
Kobe and Su Yi switched roles again.
Su Yi started to defend, and Kobe began to imitate the classic moves of various stars to attack.
Including Anthony, Pierce.
According to Kobe, Su Yi is like a python that has been hunting, capturing every possible opportunity to infinitely magnify the opponent's weakness.
"Defensive low post attack ability +3"
"Defensive Awareness +2"
"Face-defense shooting ability +2"
Finally, after an hour or two, both Su Yi and Kobe were sweating profusely and went to the second row of the auditorium to rest.
"In the fiercely competitive playoffs, any of your weaknesses will be infinitely magnified by your opponent, whether it's an injury or a technical defect. This is a cruel professional league." Kobe looked at Su Yi and said.
