Chapter 254 253. You are already the public enemy of the alliance

Felton's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was indeed a good way to broaden his shooting range based on his playing style!
"Jack you are so smart, I will try it!"

Felton did what he said and tried it excitedly...

Zhang Yang was also training, practicing Marbury's front-body change-of-direction technique. After practicing for a while, he turned around and saw Felton squatting next to the three-second zone.

Zhang Yang wondered, "Why are you squatting?"

Felton: "I rushed to that position and stopped suddenly. My step-back movement was too slow. If I speed up, I can't maintain the stability of the step-back shot. It's better to stop and jump shot. I wonder if there is a way to solve this problem. If not, I will just practice the stop-and-jump shot."

Independently come up with ideas, independently discover problems, independently think... Little Fatty has done well again, and Zhang San is very pleased.

Compared to helping Felton train that summer two years ago, Zhang Yang feels much more relaxed now.

Zhang Yang said, "That's a solution. As long as the shooting range can be expanded, the threat will be greater and it will be more conducive to your offense... How about you try to adjust your speed during the breakthrough? For example, slow down before approaching the lob area, and then suddenly step back with force?"

Felton: "Hey! Good idea... No, isn't this Nash's rhythm flow quick stop and step back? But I'm not good at that."

Zhang Yang: "Yeah, if you can learn that, you can also practice close-range pull-up jump shots very well..."

Felton counted on his fingers: "I learned the rhythm flow and the quick stop. I learned how to step back to create shooting conditions for the basket and the wing, and how to make a quick stop jump shot to score for myself. Maybe I can further improve my step-back three-pointer and the rhythm of the step-back three-pointer with the help of a screen... I want to learn!"

Zhang Yang was a little troubled by this. When he was teaching Felton just now, he saw that there was a big gap between Felton and Harden. Putting aside the unsolvable gap in height and arm span, in terms of sense of rhythm, Harden was many times stronger than Felton.

Harden, who just graduated from high school, has a better sense of rhythm than Felton.

Zhang Yang said bluntly: "Raymond, it may take you a long time to learn this style of play."

Felton: "What's the big deal? I just turned 23. I have plenty of time! Just like you said, I am now focusing on three-pointers, close-range floaters, and passing. It's enough for me to play the role of the main point guard. I will practice slowly and there is no rush."

The summer is hot and sentimental. Zhang Yang recalled Felton, whom he had just met two years ago. Looking at him now, he has grown a lot!
If Felton can develop a rhythm-based style of play in a few years, it will be a great help to his career. Maybe he will be better than Lowry in the future? Maybe he can really become an All-Star?
Zhang Yang nodded. "Okay, we're going to Hawaii in a few days to train with Nash. When the time comes, let him teach us. He'll definitely teach us better than me. Alan, you should go with us too. Nash is very good at passing the ball to the running shooter. He knows the running routes and rhythm of the running shooter and the cutting player better. I'll ask him to teach you... By the way, I heard that in Hawaii you can learn to fly airplanes, tanks, and battleships? You can also learn bomb disposal and blasting? Is that true?"

Felton, Alan Anderson: "Huh?"

No, what is on my mind every day? Why did I suddenly jump here?
Even Felton couldn't keep up with the topic that had gone so far this time...

...

A few days later, on July 7, Zhang Yang, Felton, Rondo and Alan Anderson came to the vacation villa rented by Nash in Hawaii.

Before Zhang Yang came, after getting the address, he checked the map. It was not in an ordinary residential area, but in a luxurious villa with an independent sea view. Only then did he accept Nash's invitation to stay there. Otherwise, he would have stayed in a luxury chain hotel.

Of course, it's not that he thinks the living environment of an ordinary house is bad. Zhang San used to live in an apartment. It's mainly because it's summer, what if there is a forest fire? He can't get far if he jumps into the sea.

When Zhang Yang saw that the roof of the villa was blue, he felt completely relieved. According to legend, only houses with blue roofs will not be burned in Hawaii wildfires.

The Nash couple warmly welcomed the four of them to stay, and Zhang Yang also met Nash's wife Alejandra and their twin daughters who were less than three years old.

Zhang Yang would not worry about other people's family affairs, especially those he didn't know whether they happened or not... That's right, no matter how young a girl is, she is still a girl, and appearance is justice. Nash's two daughters, Lola and Bella, were timid at first, but soon they stuck to him and mumbled this and that.

Zhang Yang has a unlucky younger brother of similar age at home. He is very patient with the child and will chat with him even when he doesn't understand what he says or speaks unclearly.

Seeing his two daughters look so useless after seeing the handsome guy, Nash was full of jealousy...

Nash took the four players around for two days. On the 4th, they came to the rented small stadium and entered training mode.

The time they can train together is only more than 10 days, and the Nash family arrived here two weeks ago.

When Nash and Alejandra got married, they agreed to find a nice place to vacation for a month every off-season and enjoy a "honeymoon" every year. However, the first "honeymoon" in 05 was okay, but when they went to Miami for their honeymoon last summer, they felt bored after staying there for two weeks.

But neither of them was too embarrassed to take the initiative to end the agreement, and a year later, when it was time to go on their honeymoon, they were both looking forward to it... so it continued like this.

In mid-June, when Nash went to the Bobcats' home court to watch the finals, he heard Zhang Yang mention that he wanted to train with him in the summer, so he thought of the month-long vacation. As a man, he should always be rational. He felt that it would be boring later, so he might as well make an appointment at this time.

The actual situation was pretty much as he thought. After staying there for about ten days, the two daughters were very happy to see the sea every day, but the couple had already begun to get bored. He had been looking forward to Zhang Yang and his party coming earlier a few days ago.

When his wife saw his friend coming, she made an excuse the next morning that she had something to do at the gym and left Hawaii and went back to Phoenix, leaving the child in the care of the nanny and Nash.

Alejandra is a bodybuilding gymnastics coach. After marrying Nash, she opened her own gym.

Originally, Nash thought that Felton, Rondo, and Alan Anderson were all here for tourism and would train together, but it might have nothing to do with him, so he just needed to teach Zhang Yang the techniques.

But he didn't expect that the four of them came to him for advice!
This is... great!

Nash: Could it be possible that one day I will have many students all over the world?
Although his playing style is good and there are many fans after the age of 30, there are not many fans who learn to play like him. Even his fans prefer to learn Iverson's butterfly step breakthrough, Kobe's ferric oxide, or McGrady's bending over to grab the ball and jump up to shoot... There are even more people who learn to hit the rebound at a 45-degree angle than Duncan. Obviously, from a realistic point of view, learning to play with a bad rhythm is more suitable for ordinary people to play. NBA players, there are even fewer who learn to play like him. First of all, his playing style is not explosive enough and young players don't like to imitate and learn. Secondly, professional players play differently from ordinary people. Ordinary people are suitable to learn from him, but most NBA players are not suitable to learn from him. Street ball does not require such a high sense of rhythm. Professional players have to have a good sense of rhythm to learn from him, otherwise they have to spend several times more time practicing slowly to play the effect of street ball in NBA games... That time is longer than many players' NBA careers.

That's why he looked at Zhang Yang in a special light. This was the first time he had met someone who could learn to play basketball from him and master the essence of it, and who was still so young.

Unexpectedly, Felton came to him and said that he wanted to learn his rhythm of attacking and retreating. Rondo came to him and said that he wanted to learn his details of counterattack and breakthrough. Now there are two more people who want to learn how to play from him, and one is a first-class genius, and the other is a top genius nicknamed Little Kidd!

Alan Anderson...his talent is a little lacking, but he is here to learn how to run, so just think of him as an extra sparring partner, and it can also help Zhang Yang train in receiving points.

Yes, Nash agreed to teach Zhang Yang this time, not only because he anticipated that the 'honeymoon' would be boring and he was happy to see Zhang Yang learning to play basketball from him, but there was also a very important reason - to help Zhang Yang and repay the 'favor' of defeating the Spurs in the finals.

Nash is the player who least wants to see the Spurs win the championship, and his hatred for the Spurs is no less than Carter.

In other years, Nash's favorability towards the Bobcats players would not have increased so much, but in the season when he was fouled, the Bobcats reversed the Spurs when they were just one step away from winning the championship and defeated them, snatching the championship. Nash's favorability towards the young players of the Bobcats reached its maximum.

But not long after the training started, Nash felt depressed.

Zhang Yang said that he learned Nash's step-back shot and needed Nash's guidance on some small details. This kind of thing involving "feeling" cannot be helped even by top trainers like Grove and Engelland.

Nash readily accepted and asked Zhang Yang to demonstrate his newly learned step-back shot... and then he felt depressed.

"Jack, did you learn these moves just last month?"

"Correct."

"I heard from Raymond that you watched the video on the first day and knew it the next day?"

"Well, that's right!"

"I finally understand why Kidd is willing to put aside his pride and team up with Kobe and Garnett. I want to go find Yao Ming!"

Nash felt the same way. The 19-year-old boy was more talented than him, had a stronger desire to learn, and worked as hard as him. Fortunately, their peak periods did not overlap, otherwise he would be even more autistic. The key point was that this guy seemed to have the possibility of kidnapping his daughter...

Zhang Yang had no choice but to accept Nash's complaint "How can you be more talented and work harder than me?" He took the initiative to recall the pre-match preparations and post-match physical therapy of Nash, who was 10 years old at the time, during the first experience in the 36th timeline... You taught him that, Mr. Nash!

As for kidnapping Lola and Bella, he swore he had never thought about it. The two lolis were obsessed with looks, so what could he do?

...

Although it is painful, Nash coaches the Bobcats' big four very attentively.

As a master of basic skills, he is proficient in almost all outside shooting techniques, with and without the ball, and he teaches four students very smoothly.

Nash admired Felton's average talent in rhythm but his determination to keep learning. He even liked Felton more because of this. He liked this kind of young players who have the ambition to "accumulate strength for a great success".

Alan Anderson is mediocre in all aspects, but he works hard enough and Nash likes him.

He likes all the players on the team that defeated the Spurs and won the championship.

Rondo... this made Nash a little upset. He had never seen anyone with such poor shooting talent. Even centers rarely had such poor shooting talent.

However, Rondo's passing talent amazed Nash. For a small guy like that, the name may be wrong, but the nickname cannot be wrong. 'Little Kidd', this is Little Kidd.

Nash had an idea: to put his stamp of the Son of Wind on Rondo's passes, a version of Nash without the basket?

Teaching these four people to play basketball is also beneficial for Nash. The four young players have completely different playing styles, and he can also have more different experiences during teaching.

Time passed day by day and September arrived.

Zhang Yang devoted himself to training. With Grove and Engelland helping him lay a solid foundation for training, and Nash guiding him on the details, his skills in step-back shooting, screen shooting, and stride layup improved rapidly.
In addition to training, Zhang Yang also pays attention to what is happening on the team side.

He failed to compete with the Bulls for veteran No. 2 pick Joe Smith, as the Bulls snatched him away with a two-year, $1062 million full mid-level salary contract that was far above the market price.

和爵士队争抢凯勒-科沃尔，爵士队甩手就是3年1800万王炸，乔丹气急败坏向爵士队自由球员马特-哈普林报价3年2000万，爵士队反手3年2100万留人……

Zhang Yang felt the meaning of what Jordan said - Jack, you are already the public enemy of the league.
