"The moment after the jump step lands, both feet should be opened to attack. The width of this step must be as large as possible. At the same time, the left hand should pull the ball and stretch outward. The wider the width, the better."
Harden watched Iverson's demonstration seriously with wide eyes.
"Follow the direction of your hands and quickly move your body to the left, press your shoulders and shake your head, and observe the opponent's defensive position. Be sure to wait for the opponent to move to your side, and then quickly pull back to the right to complete the pass."
Iverson spoke in great detail.
After watching it twice, Harden began to imitate it.
"The left hand suspension dribbling must be realistic enough, and then explode the ball."
"No, no, after finishing the extended step with your left foot, you need to quickly take a step forward with your right foot to bring your center of gravity back."
"When changing direction, you must push the ball hard, so that the connection will change direction quickly."
"When you change direction and change hands, your center of gravity is still too high. Lower your center of gravity a little. The height of dribbling should not be higher than your knees."
"You have to push your right foot hard on the ground and step forward quickly with your left foot."
Harden kept repeating the move of changing directions. Iverson looked serious on the side and corrected it in time when he saw what Harden did wrong.
Butler and Jeremy Lin watched carefully from the sidelines. This was a veritable master class.
After watching for a while, the two of them joined in one after another.
Xu Xin watched with great interest as a few people practiced. It must be said that almost all professional players can "crossover", but there are very few who can do it to the level of Iverson.
Harden, Jeremy Lin, and Butler are definitely the leaders in the league, especially Harden and Jeremy Lin. Being a guard, dribbling is their specialty.
But when doing "crossover", it doesn't taste like Iverson after all. This may be the reason why Iverson is unique.
At the end of the two-hour training, the "extra training team" greeted Xu Xin, yawned and went back to their homes. They benefited a lot from tonight's training. They will get up tomorrow morning and continue to roll up their sleeves and practice hard, striving to master it as soon as possible. Enhance your skill set!
"Manager Xu, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Iverson wiped the sweat off his body and said apologetically that his wanderings in the past few years have changed his character a lot, and he has become more humble and steady.
"What's the matter? It's a pleasure to watch you train."
Xu Xin said.
What he said was really not polite. For fans, having such an opportunity to watch 75 superstars practice up close is a one-in-a-million opportunity.
"I'm going to take a shower first."
Iverson said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the recovery room."
. . .
In the recovery room, Xu Xin helped Iverson massage his knees and ligaments. His technique was unique and powerful, as if he was injecting new life into these injured muscle tissues.
He has used the sports rehabilitation massage therapy provided by this system several times, and his techniques have become more and more sophisticated.
Iverson felt a warm energy, his legs gradually relaxed, and the pain gradually eased. He closed his eyes and devoted himself to the healing process.
As a defender, especially a defender like him who often uses large changes of direction and sudden start and stop technical movements, long-term high-intensity training and competition will inevitably cause some old injuries to his knees and ligaments.
When I was with the Nuggets, the team doctors saw him many times and said it was an irreversible injury. Speaking of which, these injuries are also the reason why Iverson quit the NBA early. Even after several years of training, there is still no sign of improvement.
But in the past few days, Iverson has obviously felt that the pain has eased, and now after Xu Xin's massage, this feeling has become more obvious.
"alright."
Xu Xin stood up, stretched, and said with satisfaction.
He just asked the system, and the system told him that as long as he insists on massaging every day, the cycle of "Nirvana Rebirth" will be shortened by half, which means that in half a month, Iverson will return with full blood.
Although it is certainly not as good as the peak state during his time in Philadelphia, it is more than enough to reach the heights he had during his time in Denver.
"Is this good?"
Iverson opened his eyes and said with some surprise.
"It's already been an hour. Keep massaging every day. The optimal time is about an hour each time. Too much is not enough."
Xu Xin explained, quite like an old Chinese doctor.
Iverson was convinced, nodded and stood up, feeling the changes in his legs. The pain was significantly reduced, and the long-lost explosive power seemed to be returning little by little.
"Oh my god, Manager Xu, this is amazing."
Iverson had an expression of disbelief on his face. No one knew better than him how difficult it was to recover from his leg injury. An hour of massage could make him feel changes, which he had never dared to imagine before.
Xu Xin only found it very funny. Wai Guoren's vocabulary was indeed a bit lacking. If he wanted to express his surprise, he would only say oh my god.
"Chinese traditional Chinese medicine is so amazing. It's a pity that I don't know acupuncture and I haven't found an expert in this field, otherwise your recovery process will be shorter.
I will massage you every day during this period. In about half a month, you will be able to return to the competition. You must be mentally prepared by then. "
Xu Xin said.
"No, no, no, Manager Xu, you have done enough for me, and I don't even know how to repay you."
Iverson said a little nervously.
"Training well and playing well are the best rewards for me. You will receive a big contract this summer. We agreed, for the sake of our children."
Xu Xin stretched out his fist to touch Iverson and said with a smile.
. . .
After a day off, the Rockets continue to play at home against the visiting Clippers. After this game, they will fly to Dallas non-stop to face the Mavericks back-to-back.
The Clippers are now also a strong team in the Western Conference. They have been dormant for many years and passed the draft. First, they selected DeAndre Jordan in the second round of 2008 with a unique eye. The next year, they got the No. 1 pick and won Blake Griffin, the No. 1 pick in 2009. The two interior towers were formed. .
Although taking a long-term view, Griffin is not the best player in the 2009 class, and it is difficult to even reach the top three. But before the serious injury, Griffin was definitely the representative of the league's brutal power forward.
His rookie season was reimbursed, and he came back at full strength in his second year. In his first season, he averaged 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. You must know that it was the 10th season, and it had not yet entered the small ball era. The overall play style of each team in the league The style is still dominated by insiders.
In the paint area where there are so many people and fierce confrontations, Griffin can still score 20+10 with his explosive physical talent despite being completely inferior in height and wingspan, surpassing the 10th No. 1 pick, John Waugh. Er, win the Rookie of the Year award.
Although Griffin's statistics have not improved significantly in the next few years, his performance on both offense and defense and his ability to handle the ball have improved significantly.
