Chapter 258: Harden’s five moves make him invincible! Will James join if he can’t beat him?

"I've read it almost 300 times."

"As expected of you!"

Jiang Chao and Harden shook hands and smiled. Drawing fouls is also an ability, and it can also be said to be a way to protect oneself.

Jiang Chao has long said to Harden that as long as you don't think about drawing fouls from the beginning, it is not considered opportunistic. Your ability to draw fouls can only make your opponents more wary of you, which can make your shots smoother.

It is also an ability to prevent opponents from coming up to fight.

In fact, it was Kobe's way of drawing fouls, and he was aiming for the basket to reasonably create a 21-point opportunity.

For professional players, it may be just a slight forward lean and a raised hand.

Moreover, the ability to draw fouls is Harden's special skill. Whether it is a breakthrough or a three-pointer, he is like a magnet and always has a way to make the opponent's hands touch him and cause a foul.

It is impossible for Jiang Chao to kill Harden's ability. His iron arm will still come in handy.

There is no need for Jiang Chao to teach you this. Read the referee manual thoroughly, understand the circumstances under which the referee will call a foul, and use the rules to reasonably create opportunities for fouls and free throws. This ability will still make the opponent very disgusted if it happens from time to time.

For example, Wade, who is fierce on defense and likes to jump and block shots, if we encounter him next season, we will have to let him experience the feeling of not daring to move after five fouls.

But now seeing Harden looking so excited, Jiang Chao feels a little regretful...

You must know that this move is the biggest double-edged sword. Later, Harden kept using it and the black fans kept scolding it.

Then if others dare to say that Harden should practice free throws at that time, Harden will definitely feel that they are ridiculing him, and he may even scold him directly.

If someone in future generations dares to say such things to Brother Deng, Brother Deng may immediately fall out.

"There are four more moves!" The first move was passed by the boss. Harden wanted to do something useful, but the first move was just a free throw. He practiced it every day.

"Here we come, step back, blah blah blah!" Jiang Chao immediately launched his killer move.

"What? Didn't Curry teach this before?"

"His is a beggar's version of the retreat step that is only suitable for him. He only takes one step back. Yours is the deluxe and enhanced version of the package, which is even better!"

"Okay, come on!"

Harden has no doubts about Jiang Chao's words because the boss is so capable of teaching students according to their aptitude.

"Come and watch my demonstration."

Harden's step back is Harden's unique skill.

Although the step-back shooting technique has existed on the basketball court for a long time, Harden is the only one who has brought this technique to its peak level.

After Jiang Chao recalled a wave of memories, he first introduced Harden:

"Actually, the goal of a step-back shot and a fadeaway shot is the same.

This is all to make room for the shot and prevent the opponent from using skills to interfere with the shot.

But in comparison, fadeaway shooting requires athletes to have higher physical fitness requirements, while stepback shooting requires athletes to better grasp the rhythm of dribbling.

In fact, this is completely different from Harden's current spring man style of play. Now Harden doesn't use the suspended ball to step back at all. Instead, he uses Curry's crotch pull-back step to shoot more jumpers, and the effect of the step back is average.

, most of them use the absolute height of the jump shot to complete the shot.

So what Jiang Chao taught this time was really refreshing to Harden.

Because it’s Rocket Den’s killer move.

Harden was a well-known floor-playing player in the Rockets at the time.

There is no need to praise him too much for his excellent dribbling rhythm and defender's excellent offensive reading ability. It is difficult for players guarding Harden to judge which direction Harden will attack.

The excellent rhythm makes Harden's movements slow, but the defender has no time to react in a short period of time.

Harden's historic ability to draw fouls also helps his step-back skills.

After all, Harden's steps back are basically used to shoot three-pointers. It is very easy for defenders to risk blocking shots and Harden to get to the free throw line and easily score three-pointers.

Therefore, Harden's defense will basically not block shots and will only be interfered to a certain extent. This is the most unsolvable part of Harden's defense.

In fact, in his previous life, Thunderbolt was famous in the league for his excellent "European Step".

However, if such an offensive method is often used, it is easy for the defender to predict the route, causing the attack to fail.

What's more, it consumes a lot of physical energy and may even lead to injury.

So in order to avoid this problem, Harden began to use the step-back technique after taking a historic elbow and gaining weight in the Rockets.

Moreover, his step back is in compliance with the rules but completely different from other players. For a while, it even caused the whole league to learn to make mistakes.

Compared with Harden's current step back, the previous step back can only be regarded as a traditional step back.

At his peak, Harden has interpreted taking a step back into various modes.

In addition to the traditional mode, he also has a lateral retreat mode and a double step-back mode.

This is what Jiang Chao wants to teach Harden!

Get Harden’s hardest move!

"Watch it!"

"ok!"

Harden winked at George's agent, and the agent quickly came over with a camera and helped Harden film it.

Boss Jiang Chao’s personal training course is something you can’t teach twice.

Brother Chao said that you can take photos as you like. Anyway, these moves can only be played well by the superstar himself. He just drafted them himself. The players will find the feeling after practicing by themselves. After all, they are their own moves. He just

Just helping to unblock the bottleneck.

"Come!"

Jiang Chao held the ball and asked Harden to defend in actual combat, and then started the action process under Harden's defense:

Lower your center of gravity, dribble back and forth at least three times, and then immediately start trying to get rid of the defender.

Once the breakthrough is successful, it will be much easier to score. But in most cases it is difficult to directly use speed to get rid of the defender in front. Just like Jiang Chao is facing Harden now, it is impossible to get past Deng with speed.

And even if there is a taller player under the basket to defend for the second time, the peak Deng brother usually retreats.

"Keep an eye on it."

When Harden dribbles past and advances to the nearest defender, contact has usually occurred.

His other hand will be attached to the defender's waist.

He took advantage of the situation, using his supporting foot and this hand as a support point, and took a step or two back diagonally.

Generally, if the defender's waist fulcrum is slightly touched, he will lose his center of gravity and give up defense.

If he's not careful, he may even be knocked down or knocked out of his stride.

After this time and time again, Harden has formed a distance of at least two meters from the defender. Even an elite defender needs at least one second to return to the defensive state, and this second is enough for Harden to adjust his posture and aim at the basket.

, the time of projection.

Jiang Chao easily made a move, and a secret force made Harden give up the defense directly!

“Wow??”

Harden was dumbfounded, is this okay??

"It's not over yet, let's see how I combine it with the first foul."

Normally, if the defense has a chance to make up for it, it is most likely a "trap" designed by Harden.

Because Harden's step back often ends at the edge of the three-point line, this footing must be intentional.

When some defenders take advantage of Harden's adjusted time to make up for the defense, Harden usually takes the initiative to cater to the defenders and waits for an opportunity to start a three-point shot, thereby causing a three-point defensive foul.

"However, I don't recommend you to use this more. It will also affect the rhythm of your team. It is equivalent to the other 8 people on the field watching you 1v1, and then going to the free throw line. There is no rhythm."

"Understand!"

"To summarize."

"You improved and upgraded the step back!"

Harden recalled a while while holding the ball.

The first way Jiang Chao improved was to simplify the fake action of breaking through and suddenly retreat directly after dribbling, which is also called a direct retreat step in offensive mode.

The second way to improve is to take two steps back after attacking the breakthrough.

Although Harden's movements were not very fast when he did it by himself, his body was slightly tilted back when he stepped back. Most people take off vertically. In addition, after taking two steps back, it is impossible to cover him unless you step forward.

If Harden is touched, there is only one result, which is a foul.

Harden was asked to make three free throws, so under normal circumstances, he would not dare to lean on Harden easily.

The third way to improve is that the foot movement is not limited to retreating, but tends to move sideways, making it difficult for the opponent to freely control the direction.

"Boss, have you changed it too much?"

Jiang Chao rolled his eyes at him and thought, didn't you create this yourself? His answer was very simple. It was what Harden himself said in an interview:
To be continued...
