Rukawa Kaede did not refuse Budao's invitation to practice together, and he also somewhat agreed with what Budao just said. Rukawa Kaede also has a new understanding of the importance of shooting. Rukawa Kaede, who has always relied on breakthrough layups, now also wants to improve his shooting ability.
"Rukawa Kaede, speaking of which, has your coach ever told you that there is something wrong with your shooting form?"
Jinguji Budo walked to the basket and picked up the basketball, turned his head and suddenly said to Rukawa Kaede.
"?" Rukawa Kaede looked confused when he heard this, and his face was full of confusion. He had never heard anyone say that there was a problem with his shooting posture. The coach of their team never corrected his posture, and Rukawa Kaede learned his shooting by watching TV videos. It was the NBA, how could there be a problem?
Rukawa Kaede shook his head and said no. Budo didn't say anything and just threw the basketball to Rukawa Kaede. After getting the ball, Rukawa Kaede rubbed the basketball and threw the ball.
Rukawa Kaede's shooting action was actually quite smooth, and his shooting percentage seemed to be decent. The basketball flew out of his hands and fell steadily into the basket. Rukawa Kaede, who put the basketball into the net, looked at Budo, his eyes seemed to say: "Look, I made the shot, my posture is fine."
"The shooting movement is quite smooth, but the shooting point is a bit low. When shooting, you should not shoot from the forehead. The basketball should be raised above the head."
"Only by shooting with such a high starting point can you make the most of your height and wingspan."
"Your shot is like a push shot."
As he spoke, Budo imitated Rukawa Kaede and took off to shoot. When the basketball rose to Budo's forehead, Budo stretched his arms forward and shot the basketball directly. Wu Dao's shot was very powerful this time. The basketball hit the backboard hard and bounced into the frame.
Although the ball was scored, Rukawa Kaede, who was watching from the side, felt an indescribable twist in his heart. He also felt that the shooting posture of Budo just now was ugly. Although he couldn't tell what was wrong, Rukawa Kaede just felt that Wu Dao's shot just now was very different from the previous one.
"Is it because of this problem?" Rukawa Kaede had never paid attention to his shooting posture before, or perhaps his invincibility over the years had made him ignore his problem.
"Due to the lack of strength in elementary school, it is not incomprehensible to use the push-and-shoot method."
"But as we grow older, our strength increases, and the opponents we encounter become taller, the problem of pushing and shooting will gradually be exposed."
"It's very difficult to wait until you hit the wall to change your shooting posture. You are in sixth grade this year, so the time to change is just right."
As Wu Dao spoke, he walked to the basket, picked up the basketball, carried it to the free throw line, and shot a jump shot. This time, the shooting point of the basketball was adjusted to a position where the head was slightly forward. The basketball flew out of Wu Dao's hands and drew an almost perfect parabola in the air.
"Dang~" Although the martial arts was very beautiful, the movements were quite crisp, and the shot was very soft, the basketball still deviated from the track, hit the edge of the frame, and flew out.
"...."
"The wind is a bit strong, haha."
Wu Dao smiled awkwardly and trotted to pick up the ball. Rukawa Kaede did not laugh at Martial Arts because of his poor shooting. On the contrary, he lowered his head slightly at this time and seemed to be thinking about something. Then he walked under the basketball stand, picked up another basketball, and dribbled the ball to Where he was standing before, he imitated martial arts and threw the ball.
This time Rukawa Kaede raised his shooting point, but due to his discomfort, his shooting movements were a bit stiff. Not only did the basketball deviate from the track, but his strength was also reduced. The basketball did not even touch the frame and fell directly.
And Martial Arts, who was picking up the ball just now, also took advantage of the situation to catch the three-bubble thrown by Rukawa Kaede in his arms.
"It's normal to feel uncomfortable adapting at first. Your lack of strength is due to two reasons. One is unskilled movements, and the other is insufficient leg strength."
"Drop your hips, don't bend your knees too low, and don't lean forward too much. The angle of your forearm when shooting greatly determines your hit rate."
While speaking, Wu Dao brought the ball to the free throw line again, adjusted his breathing, and then shot again. The basketball deviated from the route and collapsed out of the frame.
The muscle memory of shooting in Budo is actually not standard. Therefore, if Budo cannot adjust the shooting posture, the shooting posture will be ugly.
However, with the intentional adjustments of Martial Arts, the shooting posture became much more standard, but the feedback from the body was uncomfortable. Therefore, Wu Dao's shooting percentage has never been high. This shortcoming requires a lot of practice to correct and adapt to.
"Although he didn't score, that's the truth." Wu Dao is also relatively thick-skinned. Although he missed the shot, he didn't look ashamed at all.
Just as Budo was about to pick up the ball and continue shooting, Rukawa Kaede threw the basketball in his hand directly towards Budo.
Watching the ball coming from Wu Dao, he smiled slightly, caught the ball, jumped to the ball, and then directly shot a jump shot.
"Uh-huh!"
Under Rukawa Kaede's gaze, the basketball fell steadily into the basket, making a clear sound of brushing the net.
"The rhythm of this ball is good, Rukawa Kaede, help me pick up the ball, I will remember this feeling." Budao watched the basketball enter the net, smiled at Rukawa Kaede, and said directly to Rukawa Kaede without being polite.
And Rukawa Kaede didn't dislike the task of picking up the ball. He ran to the basket, picked up the basketball and passed it to Martial Arts. Then he stared closely at Wu Dao's shooting movements, trying to remember Wu Dao's movements firmly in his mind.
Someone picked up the ball, and the martial arts training efficiency suddenly increased by an unknown amount.
In shooting practice, the most time-consuming and physical work is often picking up the ball. With Rukawa Kaede's help, Budo can devote himself to shooting, and the ball-by-ball training has become more coherent, without having to shoot a ball. Then pick up the ball, then the training will be incoherent and the training effect will be greatly reduced.
Soon, with the assistance of Rukawa Kaede, Budo shot more than fifty balls. The continuous shooting made Budo, who already had a huge physical exertion, even more tired. Finally, with his arms sore, he waved his hand towards Rukawa Kaede and said:
"It's a bit too much. Substitute. You shoot and I'll pick it up for you."
Budo said and walked towards the basket, then picked up the ball and threw it to Rukawa Kaede. After catching the ball, Rukawa Kaede raised his head and glanced at the sky, nodded and went to the free throw line, imitating the martial arts shooting method in his memory, and threw the basketball in his hand.
"If the shooting point is higher, it's too low."
"Don't lean too far forward when shooting."
When you focus on training, time often flies by.
As the sun sets in the west, the sky has darkened, and only a corner of the horizon has a ray of red glow. The falling afterglow sprinkled on the court, and the originally green paint was dyed red at this moment.
On the court, Budo and Rukawa Kaede were lying on the ground, breathing heavily, not caring about the dust on the ground.
"I'm going back." Suddenly, Rukawa Kaede raised his body and said to Martial Arts on the side. There was a puddle of water stains on the ground where Rukawa Kaede had just lay.
"Well, it's almost time. Let's go back." Wu Dao lay on the ground, looked at the sky, and nodded.
Rukawa Kaede stood up, moved his steps, picked up the basketball on the side and walked towards the door of the stadium. Before walking out of the door, he hesitated, then turned back to look at Martial Arts and asked: "Are you still here to practice ball tomorrow? ?"
This was the first time Rukawa Kaede had extended an invitation to someone. Before that, he had always practiced alone. Even when he was on the court, even if there were teammates at that time, he would still play alone. It was the first time for Rukawa Kaede to practice ball like today, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"The team trains on Sunday morning and will be here in the afternoon."
"It will be a little earlier than today. The team will disband at 10.30 tomorrow."
Budao said, and then looked towards the entrance of the stadium, but there was no longer Rukawa Kaede there.
"This kid..." Wu Dao was speechless, then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky and whispered:
"He's a very easy-to-reach guy. He should be considered a friend."
