Chapter 658 [What are you going to do after retiring]

As soon as you preach, Wang Jun and Jeff Hornersek went to the court in the backyard of the villa together.

Even though Lao Huo has not played for many years, he is still very good at throwing and shooting. He threw ten goals on both sides and the middle, and scored eight.

Just after watching a few balls at close range, Wang Jun had some insights.

He watched NBA players' throw highlights at home, and was always attracted by the breakthroughs of Parker, Paul and others. The throwing shots were not obvious from the video. Seeing Horacek's playing at close range was different, his speed slowed down, allowing Wang Jun to better see the changes from raising his arm to taking action.

Horacek passed the ball to Wang Jun and said, "You shoot for a while, I'll take a look, and then give you your advice."

"OK."

Wang Jun started to throw in circles, and his footsteps were well controlled, but his shooting percentage was poor, his strength was either big or small, but the ball could be shot very well.

After watching for five minutes, Horacek stopped and expressed his opinion.

"Wang, I found your problem. Your dribbling breakthrough is very smoothly connected to the shooting movements, but I made two key mistakes. One is to slow down before throwing, so that it is easier to grasp the feel. The other is to jump high in the last step, rather than leaning forward."

Horacek took the basketball and made two more demonstrations. When breaking through, he lowered the center of gravity and paid attention to protecting the ball. He slowed down close to the basket, jumped vertically upward, and maintained balance.

Only when the body is balanced can you take action be stable. Unless you are picking the basket with low hands, it will be difficult to control the ball and achieve the unity of the man and the ball.

Hornersek is very suitable for being a basketball coach. He has a unique vision and can see the problem in a short period of time. As long as he improves according to the way he said, Wang Jun will definitely make progress.

In the past, Wang Jun rushed too fast, and if there was no one in front of him, he would dunk directly. When someone changed to a throw, he would of course lean forward involuntarily.

Noting this, Wang Jun tried to slow down the speed in the last step. The vertical jump shot was indeed much better. He just needed to grasp the sense of distance and the shooting curve.

Hornersek also said that he thought it was the most suitable for throwing distance. If you use throwing too far, you will be fooled. No one can guarantee the hit rate.

Suitable shots are usually on the front or side, about 2 meters away from the basket. This distance has a high hit rate. If it is farther, it will gradually increase the difficulty of shooting. If it is closer, it will be easily blocked by the inside line.

He does not recommend using his wrist when shooting, because it will be difficult to control the ball with his wrist. It is easy to miss the shot, and the shooting speed is relatively slow. A better hand shape should be to push up with your arms and push the ball out with your fingers.

Simply put, it is the action of throwing a shot put, just without exerting force on the whole body.

This way, the basketball flies to the basket very smoothly and has a high arc. Even if it hits the rebound or the border, the basketball may bounce into the basket.

After practicing for a few minutes, Wang Jun wanted to make excellence and asked: "Jeff, what's going on with Tony Parker's throwing? It doesn't seem like he needs to slow down in the last step. What do you think his secret will be?"

Hornersek smiled and said, "It's probably because he has made a habit of shooting with irregular movements since he was a child. Besides, his wrists are different from ordinary people. Don't deliberately imitate strange shooting movements, like Boozer's jump shot. Many people may shoot three-nos, but he can guarantee the shooting rate. The skills that suit him may not be suitable for you."

Wang Jun agrees with this view and no longer worry about gains and losses.

The training system also said that some techniques cannot be learned by "apprenticeship". For example, Wang Jun has only learned 70% of Carter's slam dunk until now. He can dunk 360 degrees in a forward turn, and he cannot do the reverse moves like the slam dunk contest.

When Parker's throwing ball flew out, people flew out, which was very exciting but not common. There was no reads like him in the entire league; Wang Jun needed a double-team. He avoided the inside blocking method and practiced textbook throwing like Horacek.

The two went back to the house. Wang Jun wrote the practice in his computer document and sent it to his personal email. He was about to go back and study it slowly.

After practicing football for a while, Wang Jun and the Hornersek family talked about something else.

Speaking of work, Horacek lamented: "When eating youth and relying on your body and technology to please customers, the income depends on the satisfaction of customers every night. When you enter the industry, the younger you are, the more popular you are. When you are old, you are usually not welcomed. That's right... This is the NBA player."

"..." Wang Jun suspected that his English was not good enough, and seemed to have understood something wrong.

Horacek said earnestly: "Wang, while you are young, you have to fight for more honors. Time on the court is unforgivable."

Abby interrupted: "Dad, you are not old yet. Aren't you a jazz assistant coach?"

"I just want to be a head coach when your brother graduates." Hornersek asked Wang Jun with a smile: "What are you going to do if you retire in the future?"

"Travel around the world, eat all the food, and play with my family. If possible, I would also like to make guest appearances in movies and participate in some interesting activities." Wang Jun replied.

Hornersek didn't expect Wang Jun to say such an answer, and he looked like a typical hedonist.

Many athletes cannot stay idle, and once they are idle, it will be very painful. Wang Jun is not such a person.

Generally speaking, there are many options for players to retire.

Return to the arena, take up the teaching stick; comment, give advice, guide the country; do business through connections, enter politics, etc.; some people are greedy for pleasure, spend money on their families, and eventually go bankrupt.

There are quite a lot of people who went bankrupt because of pleasure. For example, "Potato" Webber was previously revealed to have fallen into a nightclub to work, joined a strip club, and served as the coach of strip girls.

Recently, Spreeville, known as the "madman", lost the case because of defaulting on bank mortgage loans and was taken back by the bank's house in Milwaukee. Spreeville is currently unemployed and poor, and has sold the famous "Milwaukee Best" yacht.

What's even more exaggerated is that "Rain Man" Sean Kamp, the speed of giving birth to a child exceeds his playing speed. There are seven illegitimate children who are publicly disclosed. The specific number must be more than the number of registered players of a team, and it is even comparable to Liu Bei's father, Zhongshan Jingwang, and he can't count even if there are many children.

A media interviewed Kamp and asked about his romantic topics.

Kemp replied: "Whether in Seattle or Cleveland, every time I leave the arena, I am always extremely scared. When I see a woman greeting a child or a few children, I feel tight and silently say: I'll just go, this guy is not my son, this guy is not my son." (Exaggerated, but the general meaning is about the same as this.)

When he thought of Wang Jun and Theron's unclear relationship, Horacek couldn't help but feel worried about his daughter. "Have you ever thought about continuing to work?"

"It depends on the situation at that time. Do whatever you want. I'm still early to retire."

Wang Jun actually wanted to enter the entertainment industry to make guest appearances in movies and other things the most, and the entertainment topic would turn to Theron again, so he stopped.

Abby didn't want his family to worry and explained Wang Jun's thoughts.

Wang Leying was in poor health and could not fly around the world, so her brother and sister made an appointment to take her out for fun when she recovered from illness.

With this explanation, her parents felt that Wang Jun was not like hedonism.
