Old Court.
Previously, Qin Hao's targeted training program was the three-pointer, but now that the three-pointer has broken through, it is no longer realistic to want a big improvement in a short time.
And if he wants to improve his strength in a short time and enrich his scoring arsenal, he must start from other aspects, such as mid-range jumpers.
"Before I was not tall enough, and it was easy to block mid-range jumpers, so I could only do target training on breakthroughs and three-pointers." Qin Hao looked at the basket.
A few months ago, Qin Hao was only 1.7 meters tall, and everyone on the court was taller than him, and his jumping and explosive power were not strong enough to make up for his shortcomings.
Therefore, for Qin Hao, practicing mid-range jump shots will not be of great significance to him. Even if they are well practiced, they will not be of great use on the field and cannot be his bread and butter.
Therefore, Qin Hao chose to practice breakthroughs.
Later, in order to cope with a stronger opponent and assist in the breakthrough, Qin Hao began to train three-pointers, combining inside and outside, and combining sudden shots, thereby increasing his threat on the court.
Now that the three-pointer has broken through, and his height has grown to 1.85 meters, his height is no longer a weakness, and the training of mid-range jumpers can also be put on the agenda.
Of course, Qin Hao also trains mid-range jumpers at ordinary times, but the training intensity is not that great, and it is not targeted to improve efficiency.
Only now targeted training started.
"Let's get started." Qin Hao took a deep breath, came to the free-throw line, half a step away from the free-throw line, slapped the ball to the floor, then grabbed the ball, jumped up, and shot.
The action was done in one go.
For a long time, Qin Hao has paid great attention to basic skills and the standard movement, so he does everything to the standard no matter what technical movement it is.
This has nothing to do with the hit rate.
"Huh!"
It feels pretty good, and the first goal is scored.
After that is the second, the third...
Qin Hao made a few goals in a row. The mid-range jumper was actually easier than the three-pointer because it's nearer to the basket.
In the NBA, most of the players who shoot accurate three-pointers are also good mid-range shooters, but for various reasons, they are more three-pointers, so it gives people an illusion that they are shooting three-pointers more accurately than mid-range shots.
Of course, there are such people, but very few.
Whether it's free throws, mid-range, or three-pointers, they are actually a kind of shooting, so they are actually the same. People who shoot good three-pointers, such as Ray Allen, JJ Redick, and future splash brothers. Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, these three-point shooters are actually very accurate in mid-range and free throws.
Qin Hao's free throws and three-pointers are very accurate, and it is naturally not difficult to practice the mid-range.
"boom!"
The goal was not scored.
Qin Hao picked up the basketball and continued training, not just standing in one position to shoot, but constantly changing positions, and also using different technical actions, such as a jumper, step-back, turn around jumper, etc.
There is another point, that is to shoot fast, but for the time being, Qin Hao hasn't focused on this point in training, he first needs to ensure a sufficient hit rate.
After more than half an hour of training, Qin Hao stopped.
"Whhhhhh..."
Qin Hao gasped and gasped, exhausted a lot of physical energy, but with a smile on his face, because the gains were not small, he first practiced free throws and three-pointers, and now it is much easier to practice mid-range.
"I believe it won't take long for my mid-range jumper to reach a good level and become another bread and butter for me." Qin Hao said to himself and suddenly thought of a question, "I wonder if I constantly shoot my mid-range jumper. There is also that kind of strange feeling, that kind of 'critical point'."
Qin Hao is still looking forward to this.
That kind of "critical point" is like a beacon, which allows him to have a clearer goal, to feel his progress every day, and it is easier to reach a higher level.
...
The next day, Qin Hao came to school.
They won the first game of the divisional group match and got a good start. Yuyang Seventh Middle School students were very happy. Many people watched the live TV and were amazed by Qin Hao's performance in that game. Seeing Qin Hao at the moment, everyone smiled and greeted him.
Qin Hao also smiled and responded one by one, let alone, back to the teenage years, it feels pretty good to re-experience this pure student life.
In the afternoon, the players came to the basketball court.
"Although we won the first game, there are still three group matches ahead. We can't take it lightly and we have to work harder." Jiang Fangping waved his hand after saying, "Okay, disband, free training."
Everyone agreed and started training.
After a group match, the players have indeed undergone a transformation and growth in different degrees. They are more serious in training, they all want to become stronger.
Then there is group confrontation training...
When the training is over, the players are sweating and tired, but the atmosphere is very active, they are talking about the next opponent-Xiangjiang Jingwen Middle School.
Xiangjiang Jingwen Middle School is the champion team of Xiangjiang, and its strength is not weak. However, in the high school basketball league, Xiangjiang's team has not had any outstanding results.
For this game, Yuyang Seventh Middle School is looking forward to it.
"Well, I will end training here today and disband." Jiang Fangping waved his hand and left with a smile.
Everyone left one after another.
Qin Hao was also about to leave, but Jiang Feng suddenly stopped him: "Qin Hao, wait a minute."
"Something?" Qin Hao turned around.
Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Are you interested in a heads-up match?"
Qin Hao raised his eyebrows: "One-on-one?"
In Yuyang Seventh Squadron, there are usually players who come to heads-up in the last round, but Qin Hao and Jiang Feng have never heads-up. Qin Hao used to have insufficient strength and was not Jiang Feng's opponent. Later, when his strength improved, he felt that there is no need for that anymore.
Jiang Feng didn't regard Qin Hao as his opponent at first, but he was interested in competing with Yuan Xiaogang, but Yuan Xiaogang had been avoiding him and not fighting-definitely not because he was afraid of losing.
Why suddenly, Jiang Feng wanted to single out with him?
"Why do you think you need to fight me one-on-one?" Qin Hao asked.
"It's nothing." Jiang Feng said: "Just say, won't you come?"
Qin Hao thought for a while, but nodded: "Okay, let's have a game."
The two are not in a hurry to start, because they don't want others to see it. When the teammates are all gone, the two talents start.
On the court, the two looked at each other.
"You go first." Jiang Feng said.
"Okay." Qin Hao is not polite. He knows that Jiang Feng is aloof, and he certainly doesn't want to take advantage of him, so let's attack by himself.
By this time it was evening, and the light was a little dim in the evening. The students had already started to study in the evening. No one noticed. On the basketball court, a heads-up match began…
