Chapter 49 - Force method
Kahong’s words are not just polite words. Players must return to their injuries and take time to recover and adjust. After all, Walker’s injuries are not big, but they are not small. After a month of rest, it is impossible to find the feeling when playing. .
After playing in Pittsburgh, UConn ushered in an away game with West Virginia after a few days of rest.
West Virginia University is also a famous university. The most famous player in the history of the team is “logo” Jerry West. Last season, they were the regular season champions of the Big East. They entered the championship as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and killed Final Four.
因为 Because the core left the team this season, their strength has declined, but they are still ranked fifth in the Big East and are working hard to enter the upper half.
This is a strong matchup. After the opening, the two sides pointed at Mai Mang and hit Mars, and Smith was even deported because of T.
The game hit more than 8 minutes and the score was 9 draws.
Cajon replaced Napier with Walker at this time, and wanted to use him to break the deadlock.
Upstairs is the most classic tactics of Kangda, Tang Tian and Walker’s pick and roll in high position.
Opponents jeopardize Tang Tian’s three-point ability and dare not double-team Walker. Walker singles the other striker and changes his shot backwards.
This was originally a good show for Walker, but his range of change was obviously a little too small. As a result, his shot was almost completely covered by the opponent without being completely thrown off.
After the opponent took the rebound, he pushed the fast attack directly. The defender made a three-pointer and the atmosphere at the scene was ignited.
“Kambat …” Ollie stopped talking at this moment.
Kahong didn’t speak.
Walker’s condition is obviously a bit wrong, but there is no reason why.
In fact, after the last game, he talked to Walker privately and asked if he was not fully recovered from the injury.
Walker’s answer is that the injury has no effect.
The game in the market was still going on. Walker made a breakthrough layup on the right and didn’t score. He missed even two chances.
Seeing that Walker is not playing well, the fans at the scene are also very loud.
In the end, UConn lost the game 61-71 away and the four-game winning streak was ended.
Walker played for 20 minutes, only 4 points and 3 assists on 2 of 10 shots, the performance is not much different from the previous game.
After the match Kahun chose to avoid talking about issues related to Walker.
之后 After the game ended on this day, the team members took a shower and rested in the locker room.
Tang Tian didn’t see Walker when he took a shower, and no one knew about it.
想 He thought about it for a while, and finally went to the visiting team training hall. By the way, he brought a bottle of water by the way.
This point is not in the locker room. With Walker’s personality, his poor performance is mostly to go to practice.
Tang Tian arrived at the training hall, and sure enough, Walker sweated and trained there.
“Kenba.” Tang Tian went in and shouted.
Walker saw Tang Tian, wiped his sweat, and squeezed a smile from the corner of his mouth.
“Let’s take a break, your injury is just right, and you have just finished the game, it is easy to relapse.” Tang Tian said.
Walker nodded after listening, walked to the sidelines and sat down.
Judging from his walking posture, his ankle is indeed no problem.
Tang Tian handed the water to Walker.
“Thank you.” Walker took two sips after taking it.
“Are you worried about your ankles?” Tang Tian asked suddenly.
“What?” Walker looked at Tang Tian unexpectedly, his eyes showed that Tang Tian had actually guessed.
“You are afraid that you will not force yourself if you hurt your ankle again.” Tang Tian repeated.
Before Lam’s poor performance was a mentality issue, Walker obviously could not be this. As a junior, he experienced a lot of storms, and from the performance after injury, his heart was extremely powerful.
Of course, it may not be a problem of strength. If an ankle injury is good, Walker’s strength is definitely among the top ten in the NCAA point guard.
Is neither a state of mind nor an injury. It is definitely something to worry about if you do not perform well.
的 The only thing that can make him scruple is the ankle that was just injured.
Tang Tian has coached so many players in his past life, and they are quite familiar with these.
“Yeah.” Walker nodded wryly, and said he was unconsciously touching his ankle.
A month’s injury is not long, but it is also the biggest injury he has encountered in the NCAA.
突破 A player like him who has made breakthroughs is not as injured as other ankles. If he hurts again, even if it is not a major injury like before, he really can’t play the tournament.
Without him, Kangda will not go far, and his efforts this year will be in vain.
沃 These Walkers didn’t say, but Tang Tian can fully feel that the two have been together for a long time. He still knows Walker very well. He is not tall, he has a strong heart, and his spirit is not lost to any other players in this session.
“I suggest, don’t know if you want to listen?” Tang Tian suddenly said.
“What advice?” Walker looked at Tang Tian curiously.
“You have to adjust your power mode.” Tang Tian went on to say ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ power mode? “
“Yes, you are a breakthrough player. It is impossible to change the attack style at once. There are more than half a month left in the tournament, but you can try to adjust the force method from ankle to thigh and thigh. Buttocks have strength. “Tang Tian said.
Breakthrough-oriented players, unless they are hard-hitting players like Iverson, ankle injuries must be inevitable. The most typical is Stephen Curry. When a rookie contract, various changes and breakthroughs almost broke his career, ankle. There have been dozens of small and large injuries, and later they changed their power and attack methods before surviving and had the opportunity to become a superstar.
Of course, the NCAA is not the NBA, and Walker doesn’t have as much time to change the offensive style, so changing the firing style is the most likely solution.
Walker was curious, this was the first time he had heard such a thing.
This is also completely normal. The NCAA is not a commercial league. Many things are much less professional than the NBA. Tang Tian said that these are the same as his physical training methods.
The following time, Tang Tian explained to Walker the specific methods and methods. After Walker heard a look of sudden realization, the sadness in his eyebrows seemed to have disappeared for the most part.
His concerns can’t be told to his teammates or to the coaching staff, because no one can solve this thing, but Tang Tian said differently. Tang Tian gave him a solution to his concerns, and it worked well. of.
“This will take a time transition, because you still have to play, I suggest you can choose to break from the left first, so that even in the transition phase, you will be more of the left ankle than the injured right ankle. “Tang Tian added.
