There are two ways to improve: training and actual combat. One does not go without the other, the system is beneficial for training, but in a real war, it is better not to count on it.
Hector has worked much on the rules between the NBA and FIBA basketball. The size of the court in the NBA is larger; indeed, the difference is slight, but it dramatically influences the game. In FIBA basketball, the spaces are tighter, so an advantage to the defense with a little less court to cover. In the NBA, the distance of 3-point shots, account of the greater width at the head of the racket, is greater, but the space in the corners is a shorter account of the shape of the line.
In the game, players already shooting at long distances need a period of adjustment to get their bearings. This explains, among other things, the lack of address at the beginning of the match.
The frequency of shots and their rhythm, with fluidity in the game, in FIBA and NBA, allows for improving the percentages as and when he can also step back to find his bearings on the shooting distance.
Players playing in the NBA are used to changes in shooting distance during the game. Nevertheless, a time of adaptation is necessary through training. Do you see the power of the system now?
Training is good, but let's talk about actual combat because the first step is imminent.
Time flies, and on July 5, Hector boards a plane to Las Vegas.
There are 3 Summer League hosts this season. The Sacramento Kings participate in the Las Vegas Summer League; there are 32 participating teams. The 30 and two national teams in this edition are China and Croatia.
The assistant coaches take over as head coaches and will command the team. The summer league is a rare opportunity for these coaches to coach representatives before becoming head coaches. Some coaches expect him to practically topple their bosses by trying to get the chance.
Hector arrived at the hotel indicated by Luke Wharton.
Coach Luke greeted Hector: "You're the first $to arrive. Don't you want to rest a little? »
"No, I'm fine," Hector replied.
Then the King's staff led Hector into the arena rented by the team. Coach Wharton will be waiting for the rest of the players.
Hector took a ball and fired one shot. They are waiting for their teammates. The main interest for observers and fans alike is to see the rookies in their adaptation to the NBA game and how they will transition to the level of play of the NBA. Typically, it is a mix of rookies and young bench players to highlight the complementarity of freedom of these players. Unsigned players may be invited to have a contract. Here or elsewhere.
