Chapter 532

"Ah~"

Su Yan seemed to half-understand, then asked, "Coach, then I..."

"Uh..."

Coach Skiles rubbed his chin and continued, "Your playing style needs to change; don't always be so gentle.

Don't squander the extremely powerful talent you have."

"What talent?!"

"Strength!!!"

"Strength?" Su Yan frowned, "I have always used strength to defend, and... I use it quite frequently, how is it not useful?!"

"No, no, no!"

Skiles shook his head, "You don't like to use strength in your subconscious; you must know this yourself, I saw it a long time ago.

It's just that.

As a "Prediction Master," you can see through the opponent's offense through precise insight, shake off the opponent, and score easily.

Then there's no problem with not confronting them.

On the contrary... this can save physical energy to a certain extent, so this gentle style of play is not bad.

But it's different now.

This is the playoffs, where the intensity is maxed out, constantly putting defensive pressure on you, constantly confronting you, crazily consuming your physical energy.

You don't like confrontation.

Then... you have to dodge, you have to run more, and even if you predict, you have to dribble more.

The key is.

Even if you do this, you can only get past one person, and then another person will come to help defend, continuously putting pressure on you, constantly harassing you.

This not only fails to save your physical energy, but will also make you play even more tired.

If your teammates were pulling their weight and you passed to them to score, that would be fine.

The key is.

Your teammates aren't pulling their weight, and you need to play well first and then lead your teammates, which means you need to continue facing the next round of defense.

Forcing the offense.

And your mid-range shot isn't accurate when there is interference.

Attacking the basket also results in players shrinking into the paint to target you, which won't be smooth either.

If this were an average player, they would have been unable to handle it long ago; the fact that you can still score 20 or even 30 points is already very impressive.

But it's still not enough.

So... you need to learn to be flexible.

Strength is not just for defense, it can also be used for offense; try active confrontation, strike first, bump the defender away, and immediately gain an offensive opportunity to attack the basket and score.

In addition.

Confrontation + prediction.

This makes your offense twice as effective with half the effort.

And once your offense opens up, your teammates will also be activated, and then... handling the 76ers will be a matter of course."

"Confrontation + prediction?!"

Su Yan narrowed his eyes.

"That's right."

Skiles nodded heavily, getting a bit excited as he spoke, "There is no game until tomorrow night, and it's on our home court.

You can go to the gym during the day and practice with your teammates.

Try to confront them, feel it, and see what the difference is between offense under active confrontation and before!"

"Okay."

The next day.

8:00 AM.

Following the coach's notification, the players arrived at the training gym early.

"That's it!"

Pippen laughed, "We should have been actively confronting them long ago, letting those bastards who climb all over us feel how terrifying the strength that surpasses Ma Long is."

"I'll accompany Su Yan in practice."

Hinrich was the first to speak up.

The two came onto the court.

"Su, I will defend with all my might, you just come at me!"

Hinrich growled, then pounced, putting tight pressure on Su Yan.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Su Yan used a hesitation move with his right hand, paused his feet, and accelerated to the right wing; the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】 easily saw through Hinrich's lateral movement to follow.

The speed was fast too.

Clearly following at full speed.

A change of direction or a spin could easily get past him, but... Su Yan didn't intend to do that.

Speed undiminished.

Su Yan rushed up, side-shouldered, his arm shook, and he exerted force to bump into him.

"Bang!"

With this bump, Hinrich immediately retreated several steps, his pupils dilated, and he couldn't stop his momentum at all, stumbling.

He fell onto the floor on his butt.

Pippen:???

Da Yao:???

"What terrifying strength!"

"Just one confrontation, and Hinrich was knocked down?!"

The players were all stunned.

"Wow~"

Su Yan gathered the ball and raised his hand for a mid-range shot.

【Beginner · Half-Section Throw】, the hit rate under interference is average, but if it's an open shot, it's as high as 80%.

What?

Precise hit.

Coach Skiles' eyes narrowed, and he roared at Hinrich, "Are you kid trying to fall on purpose to give Su Yan confidence?!"

"Ouch, ouch~"

Hinrich, lying on the floor, wailed, wearing a mask of pain, and hummed, "My chest is hurting to death.

How could I do it on purpose.

In this defense, I even knew Su was going to exert force to confront, so I tensed my whole body's strength, thinking about resisting Su's impact.

I couldn't resist, I couldn't resist at all!!!"

Pippen smiled and shrugged, saying, "Su Yan's strength is too strong; average guards simply can't handle one of his heavy impacts."

"Oh?!"

Coach Skiles heard this, narrowed his eyes, and then his eyes lit up, laughing excitedly, "That's good, that's good!!!"

He looked at Su Yan again, full of excitement, "Su Yan, how is it? Is the offense under confrontation much easier?!"

"Uh..."

Su Yan nodded slightly, "The interference on the shot is indeed less."

"That's right."

Skiles nodded heavily, "The meaning of confrontation lies in bumping the opponent away, reducing offensive interference, and being able to finish the offense more efficiently."

"Hmm~"

Su Yan nodded lightly, lost in thought, "Seems pretty good."

Thinking this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately became greatly interested, roaring, "Hinrich, again!!!" ===== CHAPTER 534 =====
