Chapter 299 Abnormal Talent
Yang Mo returned to the room, immediately put the disc into the DVD, and started playing. When the screen opened, it was Isaiah Thomas's face. He started very seriously and said: "Yang, you still haven't found your breakthrough rhythm. You only know how to speed up, so as long as someone is close to you, your breakthrough will be greatly reduced. All offensive launches must rely on tentative steps as the start. At the beginning, everyone may be fooled by your dribbling, but now all defenders know this, you must change."
Yang Mo listened and nodded subconsciously. Isaiah Thomas was right. Yang Mo's various skills were still good, but his connection ability was weak and his ability to change was not strong enough. He just used the same few routines over and over again. At the beginning, he might be able to win by surprise, but later on, he became a little passive. Many of his points were scored through pick-and-rolls with Wade.
At this moment, the picture on the TV changed. Isaiah Thomas began to dribble a few steps away. In front of him, there was a sturdy black man, obviously his sparring partner. He made a gesture to the sparring partner, and the sturdy sparring partner immediately pressed forward. The sturdy sparring partner almost stuck to him, but he still shook off the fierce sparring partner after a few simple dribbles.
At this time, Isaiah Thomas walked in front of the camera and said, "Super Yang, did you see that? In fact, dribbling has nothing to do with speed, nor with fancy changes. I often see you imitating AI's large changes of direction on TV, but that is AI's signature move, which is tailor-made . Only he, the one and only, can use that move so well."
Isaiah Thomas paused after saying this, and Yang Mo's mind also digested it: Is what he said true? Iverson's moves really didn't seem to work on me. Could it be that I have been going in the wrong direction all along?
At this time, Isaiah Thomas on the screen continued to speak: "Breakthrough is actually the use of body rhythm and the grasp of time difference. In fact, in the final analysis, it is very simple. It is actually to lure the defender into making a move that he cannot retreat in time, and then quickly get past him. Look, it's like this."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and demonstrated several times with the burly guard.
Yang Mo didn't pay much attention when watching the demonstration. He kept thinking about what Isaiah Thomas said. He had never understood what Wade said about the breakthrough rhythm. He always felt it was mysterious. Now after hearing what Isaiah Thomas said, he immediately understood. It was nothing more than using fake moves to lure the opponent into a trap, and then passing the opponent.
This definition is really too simple, but Yang Mo had been taking the wrong path before. All of a sudden, he felt as if something had suddenly clicked in his mind.
It turns out it’s that simple.
Yang Mo slapped her head and finally broke free from the mood of thinking too much.
At this time, Isaiah Thomas walked in front of the camera again: "You must think everything is so simple, right? In fact, it is not simple at all, because the defender is not so easy to fool. You must control your own body to the extreme, so that you can use your body to control other people's bodies. Come on, practice well, and then I will teach you three breakthrough techniques."
As he spoke, Isaiah Thomas took the ball and started experimenting, simulating teaching over and over again.
Yang Mo also watched it carefully over and over again. This was a move that Isaiah Thomas had figured out throughout his life. Although it was not as classic as Iverson's move, nor as lethal, it was extremely practical.
Soon, the CD finished playing.
Yang Mo carefully recalled the movements taught by Isaiah Thomas, then collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, sleeping very soundly.
The next morning, when I woke up and went to have breakfast, I found Isaiah Thomas was already eating the Yangzhou fried rice cooked by Lu's mother and praising it highly. Yang Mo walked over and said in surprise, "You got up so early?"
"Of course, today is my first day as your personal trainer, so I have to get up early. Otherwise, how can I demonstrate my professional attitude and my sincerity to you?" Isaiah Thomas said .
After hearing this, Yang Mo immediately gave him a thumbs up, but did not say anything. After all, he is still a player of Miami, and it is not appropriate for him to make any remarks about other teams, whether in public or private.
After finishing the Chinese breakfast, Yang Mo immediately took Isaiah Thomas to his private training gym. After a little warm-up and stretching, the two officially entered the training mode. At the beginning, Isaiah Thomas asked Yang Mo to defend him, but he specifically asked him not to use too much strength. After all, he was already an old man. What if he was hit hard by Yang Mo and all fell apart?
After hearing this, Yang Mo deliberately suppressed his strength and stepped forward to defend closely. But every time, Isaiah Thomas would lead him into a trap. No matter how he tried to evade, his body would always react subconsciously, and Isaiah Thomas would always seize this subconscious reaction to make a swift breakthrough.
"Look at the direction of my arms, shoulders, waist, knees, ankles and toes." Isaiah Thomas said as he made a gesture: "When humans see their companions making movements, they will subconsciously react accordingly. No one can avoid this because there are no people in this world who can control their own subconsciousness in an instant, and there will never be anyone in this world who can control their own subconsciousness."
Yang Mo nodded in confusion, and then tried the same method, but still couldn't shake Isaiah Thomas off.
"Your imitation is too obvious, and you have no real reaction at all. If you want to deceive someone else's body, you have to speed up your own movement. You have to use any movement with ease, so that you can achieve the effect of deceiving the defender's body." Isaiah Thomas continued to instruct Yang Mo, and then asked Yang Mo to continue practicing.
Yang Mo listened to him and quickly started to practice.
At first, I still couldn't fool Isaiah Thomas. After an hour, I could fool him once or twice out of ten. After two hours, I could fool him three or four times out of ten. By lunch time, I could fool him four or five times.
Isaiah Thomas was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Although his defense was still a long way from the official game, this improvement was far beyond his imagination. He couldn't imagine that Yang Mo could improve so fast.
In fact, Yang Mo himself did not expect it. He just suddenly thought of a line from "Tai Chi Master" while practicing.
"Wuji, how much do you remember now?" "Eighty percent." "What about now?" "Fifty percent." "Wuji, how much do you remember?" "Master, I have forgotten everything." "Okay, go on stage!"
In fact, what Isaiah Thomas taught was also the meaning of Tai Chi, which emphasizes "intention" rather than "form". Therefore, when Yang Mo was experimenting, he simply forgot all the movements and just followed the instructions of his body, constantly making free and easy movements, and then... Isaiah Thomas was fooled in the unnaturalness, and then, naturally, he made a breakthrough.
After dinner, Yang Mo originally planned to meet up with the team, after all, there was a game in the evening. But Yang Mo changed his mind and thought that the game was no longer important, so he might as well practice at home. So he called Pat Riley and asked for leave. When Pat Riley heard that Yang Mo was practicing breakthrough skills at home, he immediately agreed.
After another afternoon of practice, Yang Mo made great progress and could almost fool Isaiah Thomas seven or eight times out of ten.
At night, Isaiah Thomas praised Yang Mo in almost every sentence. He was so happy. Yang Mo's learning talent shocked him so much that he couldn't help but exclaim : "No wonder the whole world is saying that you Chinese copycats are excellent. I didn't believe it before, but now I admire you so much."
His words made Yang Mo roll her eyes. She said unhappily, "This is called learning ability, OK? We Chinese have a saying that the disciple surpasses the master, do you understand?"
Yang Mo's words made Isaiah Thomas laugh out loud. Although he still felt that the Chinese were good at copying, he would never argue with Yang Mo again. After all, the purpose of his visit was to invite Yang Mo to their Big Apple City to rule the world, and he couldn't delay the mission because of bickering.
In the evening, the two practiced for another three or four hours, but the effect did not increase, probably because they encountered a bottleneck.
"It seems that the training has successfully reached its limit. Next, you have to make a breakthrough in actual combat. But before that, you have to combine all your techniques with breakthrough skills. Although this is a long process, I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to create a miracle." Isaiah Thomas said.
"Yeah." Yang Mo nodded. Now that he had a certain breakthrough ability, he finally had a communication bridge to connect various offensive techniques. As for whether those offensive techniques could move freely on the bridge, it depended on his arrangement.
Yang Mo has made rapid progress in his studies here. The Heat, without Yang Mo and Dwyane Wade, suffered a humiliating loss to the visiting Timberwolves, losing by 21 points. They are the second-to-last team in the Western Conference!
When the result came out, no one blamed Yang Mo, but they pointed the finger at the entire Miami Heat team. They all thought that the Heat were deliberately letting the game go in order to avoid the Celtics, who were second in the regular season.
The Heat did not respond to outside doubts at all.
However, the Cleveland Cavaliers stood up. Point guard Mo Williams said arrogantly: "Miami will pay a heavy price for their bad behavior. 4:0, there will be no other results!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a huge wave was stirred up!
