Super Role Player

"The Defensive Player of the Year for 2011-2012 is - Center of the New York Knicks - Tyson Chandler!"

In the locker room of the Spurs training facility, the TV broadcasts the official NBA channel. David Stern announced the Defensive Player of the Year winner, Tyson Chandler, at a press conference at the Madison Square Garden Theater. Le, won the best defensive player in the regular season this season.

Anxi watched Tyson Chandler holding the trophy at the press conference, and then felt a little emotional: "Tyson's performance this season is really good, it seems that the Knicks' defense depends on him alone?"

"Yes, last season some people said that this award should be awarded to Tyson Chandler, but in the end it was given to Dwight Howard." Danny Green, who knew about this, interjected, and then he turned to Anxi. "But Ann, don't you know that you almost won the award too?"

"Me?" Anxi was a little surprised. To be honest, he really didn't pay attention.

"Yes, you, Anxi, don't you know that your best defensive player vote ranks sixth?"

"Sixth?" Anxi thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, fifth, in front of you, in addition to Tyson Chandler, there are Serge Ibaka, Dwight Howard, LeBron James and Kevin Garnett."

"Then? What is the basis for voting for the best defensive player?"

"Statistics, such as your steals and blocks are more than one, plus your usual single-defense data, you are ranked sixth, and Kawhi is ranked ninth."

Anxi nodded. He has a little understanding of the selection mechanism. The best defensive player votes are sports reporters and TV commentators from the United States and Canada. The basis for these people's votes is actually data. Various and Defense-related data.

After changing into his training uniform, Anxi went to the court. After thinking about it, he walked up to Kawhi Leonard.

Kawhi Leonard looked at Anxi in surprise, without any expression on his face, nor did he speak.

Anxi could only speak first: "Kawhi, have you heard that you ranked ninth in the selection of the best defensive player."

Kawhi Leonard nodded: "I know, you are ranked sixth, right?"

Anxi also nodded. For a moment, Anxi didn't know what to say. In fact, he found Kawhi Leonard not for a simple chat. He fell in love with Kawhi Leonard. One thing, or to be precise, a technique of Kawhi Leonard that Anxi has taken a fancy to, and he wants to learn this technique from Kawhi Leonard.

After thinking about it, Anxi organized his words: "Well, Kawhi, why do you have so many steals? Do you have any tips?"

Kawhi Leonard looked at Anxi in surprise again, but he didn't hesitate, and said directly: "It's actually very simple, just make good use of your long arms."

Kawhi Leonard pointed to Anxi's long arm, and then continued: "In the game, when confronting, you only need to do this."

Kawhi Leonard stepped forward to demonstrate Anxi's defensive moves, "Use your long arms to stick to the floor as much as possible, so as to avoid the opponent's fouls. In addition, when the opponent changes hands or holds the ball with both hands, it is also An opportunity, at this time, aim at the basketball, cut directly, there is a great chance to steal, but this trick needs more practice, because it is easy to make mistakes and lead to fouls.”

Anxi nodded. He felt that Kawhi Leonard really taught him all his tricks, so Anxi said sincerely: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, Ann, you also taught me last time." Kawhi Leonard still didn't say much, Anxi nodded and walked aside.

Anxi began to think about what Kawhi Leonard just said, and used his long arms to stick to the floor as much as possible to interfere with the opponent's dribble. This, Anxi felt, was obviously available to him at this stage.

His wingspan is also very long, not worse than Kawhi Leonard, and his defense against the floor interferes with passing, and he can indeed avoid fouls from opponents to a certain extent. After all, no one will dribble. Keep your hands on the ground.

As for the other method, Anxi feels that, as Kawhi Leonard said, it still needs to be practiced, and it is easy to foul if it is not practiced.

Kawhi Leonard's steal, in summary, is actually using his long arms to interfere with the opponent's dribble, and at the same time pay attention to avoid being fouled by the opponent.

In the afternoon, because he was afraid that the rest time would be too long and his state would be lost, Popovich arranged an in-team training match. Anxi was on the main team and Kawhi Leonard was on the bench.

Then, after the scrimmage started, Popovich started yelling: "Ann, why are you stretching your hands?"

...

"Ann? What are you thinking? It's a foul. Do you understand?"

...

"install!……"

Anxi is also very helpless. He just wants to practice the cutting and stealing taught by Kawhi Leonard. After all, it is impossible for him to take this risk to practice in the game, so he can only practice in the team training game .

Popovich yelled down several times, and even Kawhi Leonard couldn't hold back his laughter. Anxi could only yell in his heart: "Yaoshou, yaoshou! Kawhi is almost laughing!"

Then he silently gave up the idea of ​​continuing to practice steals. After getting serious, Anxi and Kawhi Leonard suffered a lot. All kinds of Anxi were locked up tightly, and the offensive end was very uncomfortable. However, Xiaoka is not the kind of person who likes to admit defeat. On the contrary, he also puts a lot of pressure on Anxi on the defensive end. His death entanglement makes it difficult for Anxi to dribble.

But Anxi still enjoyed this confrontation, which gave Anxi a better understanding of Kawhi Leonard's stealing methods.
