Chapter 34: The Beginning of Arrangements.
"You're not afraid I'll learn from you and surpass you?" Han Sen was surprised when he learned that Wade was about to teach him his signature move, the Eurostep.
"Don't be overconfident." To Han Sen's surprise, Wade immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
Once the training started, Han realized Wade was being realistic.
Skills, though built on certain core elements, ultimately depend on the person using them.
Take the fadeaway shot for example: Kobe was the closest to mastering it like Jordan, but even his version wasn't as threatening as Jordan's.
Similarly, Olajuwon's Dream Shake was something he taught openly, but no one else could dominate the league with it.
Wade's Eurostep is essentially a variation of the traditional move.
The key difference is that Wade adds a deceptive little change of direction before the Eurostep, making it difficult for defenders to predict whether he will continue in a straight line or use the Eurostep.
What's hard about it is that the deceptive move must feel threatening enough to mislead the defender, and after that, the player must still have the explosiveness to transition into the Eurostep.
This requires a lot of skill in both driving to the basket and athletic explosiveness.
He learned the move, but for now, there was still a big gap between his version and Wade's.
