Chapter 307 Absolute Neutrality
At nine o'clock in the evening, the basketball acceleration training camp ended all the training. The Warriors players either returned to the hotel to rest, or went to downtown Miami to relax and relax their minds and bodies, and prepare for tomorrow's training.

But Silas, Bruce, and Payne did not leave the arena. Their work was not over yet. The three of them returned to the office to discuss tomorrow's training plan based on the video of the tactical training at night.

The rookies of the Warriors want to get the best training effect, and they cannot do without the behind-the-scenes efforts of "personal trainers".

They stayed busy until 10:30 in the evening before finally discussing all the trivial details.

But this is not the end. After returning to the hotel, they will communicate with the Warriors players one by one, solicit their own opinions, and formulate a training plan that is both scientific and efficient and meets the needs of the players.

With the development of basketball in modern times, professional players who want to improve their bodies and skills cannot achieve their goals by burying their heads in training. They must go through very strict and meticulous planning, otherwise they will just do useless work, and there may even be a great risk of injury.

"Silas looked at the densely packed points recorded in the notebook, and said:
"OK, today's work is done."

"call……"

Bruce and Payne let out a sigh of relief at the same time, but they didn't mean to leave the office.

They know that there is one more thing to do today in order to truly relax.

Silas looked at the time, nodded, opened MSN on the laptop, moved the mouse, and clicked the contact at the top of the list to initiate a video invitation.

Soon, a slightly blurred face appeared on the screen, it was Zhang Yu.

"Hey, Stephen, and Bruce and Brand, good morning... oh no, good evening." He waved to Silas and greeted warmly.

The long distance made the transmission of signals more difficult. Zhang Yu's movements were slightly stuttered, and there was a slight sizzling sound in his speech.

Seeing the bright sunshine behind Zhang Yu, Silas said enviously:

"Are you sunbathing?"

Zhang Yu smiled and shook his head:

"No, I'm just basking in the sun on my balcony."

He picked up the computer and adjusted the angle of the camera so that the three of them could see his environment clearly.

It was a semi-open open-air balcony covering an area of ​​about 20 square meters, half of which was covered with a sunshade roof, with a wooden table and a few weird small chairs, and a row of flower pots on the edge railing, planting There are colorful flowers and colorful vegetables, and there is an ancient half-human alpine stone in the corner. Zhang Yu is half lying on a bamboo recliner. From the angle of the camera, the computer should be placed on his lap.

"Ronan, you look very laid back, your balcony is really nice, it reminds me of my little garden, but I haven't taken care of it for half a month." Silas sighed.

"Hey, you guys are in Miami, a resort. Didn't you go to the golden beach? Why do you have time to be homesick?" Zhang Yu laughed.

"A resort?" Bruce interjected. "We're so busy arranging training every day that we don't have time for a vacation."

Payne also came over and joked:
"To be honest, Ronan, I kind of regret taking this job. Coaching a few individual players and coaching a bunch of players at the same time are completely different things. This is really exhausting. You should give me another Count an assistant coach's salary."

"Haha, okay, as long as the training effect is good enough, I will further inject funds into your training camp to make you the top personal trainer!" Zhang Yu laughed.

Afterwards, several people chatted for a while, Zhang Yu restrained his smile, and said seriously:
"It should be almost eleven o'clock in Miami? Tell me about the training situation in the past few days, and you can go back to rest earlier."

Silas nodded, took the notebook, and flipped through it:
"The training these days has been very smooth, and everyone's enthusiasm for training is very high. Except for Stephen's progress is not obvious enough, everyone else's progress is very significant. Jimmy's movement control skills and shooting stability have improved steadily. He is still the one who works the hardest. One... Klay's three-point shot is faster, he is now in the process of gaining weight, his core strength, lower body strength, and confrontation ability are all on the rise..."

Zhang Yu listened carefully to Silas' report, asking a few questions from time to time, and Silas was able to explain clearly.

After 15 minutes, Silas finally turned the notebook to the latest page:
"...The specific situation is like this, do you have any comments?"

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"A few people's training direction may be a bit off. For example, Drummond, don't let him practice low-post singles... You said he asked for it? That's not okay. You tell Drummond that the team needs his three-pointer. Points and empty-handed cuts do not require him to attack with the ball in the low post, and Hassan is the same. Let him practice the finisher and frame protection after the pick-and-roll first, and the mid-range shot and post-up can be practiced later..."

Based on the future development of several Warriors rookies, Zhang Yu carefully expressed his views so that they don't have to make detours.

"... Well, that's it, you guys are doing a good job, under your guidance, they will definitely be able to reborn... Rest early, see you in three days."

Finally, Zhang Yu made a brief summary, said goodbye to the three of them, and closed the video.

He put the laptop back on the table, flicked his slightly numb wrists, picked up the iced Coke on the table, raised his neck, took a big sip, and let out a comfortable breath.

"Xiaoyu, what do you want to eat at noon, I'll go shopping." Suddenly, the sliding door of the balcony opened, and Li Yinghua walked to the balcony, "It's a hot day, why are you still outside, come in quickly! Little brat, sleep At night, the air conditioner can be turned on for a while (evening), and it is almost noon, and we are basking in the sun again..."

Listening to Li Yinghua's rambling voice, Zhang Yu could only surrender:
"Okay, okay, I'll go in now, actually it's quite comfortable to bask in the sun and sweat..."

He stood up, closed the laptop, hugged it to his chest, picked up the Coke, drank it in one gulp, burped a long carbonation-filled belch, and walked into the room.

He is bare-chested, with a thin layer of sweat on the surface of his skin, and his muscles are well-defined, but not too thick, which is the result of his training in the gym with his teammates.

The work of the head coach is very busy, and the work and rest time is very irregular. Zhang Yu has deliberately strengthened physical exercise in order to maintain abundant energy in the heavy work.

A week ago, after the basketball acceleration training camp officially started, Zhang Yu returned to Huaxia, back to his home in Qidu.

Under the rules of the league, even if he stays in the United States, he can't go to Miami to supervise the players' training. It's better to go home early, so that he can stay away from the vortex of labor negotiations.

The lockout does not mean that labor negotiations have stopped. On the contrary, the lockout is not in the interests of any party, and the negotiations between labor and management are more frequent after the lockout.

They both want the league to start at the normal time, and they both want the other party to make concessions. They have a very tough attitude towards each other, negotiating frequently, and talking about it frequently. The harsh words in the media are more and more ruthless every time, as if they would rather the NBA just disappear. Never accept the other party's conditions.

But everyone knows that this is just the two sides putting pressure on each other. Neither the owner nor the players can bear the price of a long-term suspension of the league. It is just that the final determination of each clause involves tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits. No one will If you want to give in and reach an agreement, you will inevitably go through a long tug-of-war.

Before Zhang Yu returned to China, the relationship between labor and management became more and more tense. Stern stated many times that the alliance would never give in. Many bosses also made very tough remarks. Many reporters wanted to interview Zhang Yu and ask him about labor negotiations. opinions, but Zhang Yu rejected them all.

After the training camp was on track, he left the United States immediately, and there were also reasons for wanting to avoid the media.

Zhang Yu is not the owner of other teams. They can embrace their gorgeous and sexy female companions, leaning leisurely on the leather sofa of the VIP box, watching the players on the field earning dollars for them.

But Zhang Yu is not only the boss, he is also the head coach of the Warriors.

He wants to watch the video until late at night and study every opponent carefully.

He will stand on the sidelines every night of the game and fight for victory with the Warriors.

After the away game, he will take the special plane with the team in the early morning and travel thousands of miles to the next match.

Zhang Yu is not just a manager. In the future, he will have to get along with the players day and night, and sign veterans and rookies one by one. If he stands on the side of the team owner and makes tough remarks during labor negotiations, then he will be in the hearts of the players. His fame and prestige will be wiped away, and even the Warriors players will no longer be in awe of him.

But Zhang Yu is not labor either. He is the owner of the Warriors after all. The management is protecting his interests. He must not dismantle the management at this time, otherwise the Warriors will definitely be boycotted by other teams in the future. I am afraid in the trading market. It will be difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, Zhang Yu could only say nothing. He kept secret about the topic of labor negotiations, but emphasized that the alliance cannot be suspended, and hoped that the two sides could properly resolve this issue and not favor any side.

After entering the room, Zhang Yu closed the sliding door with his feet, put the laptop on the tea table, then fell on the sofa, and said carelessly:
"Mom, I want to eat fried meat. You can buy some pork belly. You can eat fried meat at night, and you can eat whatever you want at noon."

"Still eating fried meat? I only fried a kilo the day before yesterday, and you'll finish it in two meals!" Li Yinghua glared at him.

"That's not because your fried meat is so delicious." Zhang Yu laughed.

"You know how to eat meat every day. After all these years in a foreign country, you haven't eaten anything good? Those rich people are not like you. They just lie on the sofa and watch TV when they come home. They are almost thirty people. Still like a child..." Li Yinghua kept scolding Zhang Yu.

But Zhang Yu just smiled and didn't mean to refute at all.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Yinghua said:
"I'll buy it for you now. Our family is rich now. I will fry as much as you want. Foreign food is not good, but home food is good. Before you leave, I will fry meat for you every day." Eat, you can stay at home for a few more days and eat more fried meat made by your mother..."

Her voice gradually lowered, revealing a strong sense of reluctance.

After Zhang Yu acquired the Warriors in the past two years, he couldn't come back for the New Year. He could only go home for a month in the summer, which was much shorter than when he coached the Bulldogs.

Calculating the time, Zhang Yu can only stay at home for more than half a month, and the next time Li Yinghua wants to see her son will be a year later.

"Mom, don't worry, I will stay at home for at least two months this time." Zhang Yu comforted.

"Really?" Li Yinghua said in surprise.

"real!"

"That's good, that's good...I'll go shopping right now." Li Yinghua smiled happily and nodded repeatedly.

"Mom, let me go with you."

"You can rest at home. I watch Central Five every day. I know you have a lot of games. You must be very tired. Take a good rest when you go home..."

"It's okay. I fly by plane every day. It's still a private plane. If you're tired, let's go. I'll go with you." Zhang Yu insisted.

"Hey, okay, I'm going to change clothes..." Li Yinghua smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen, and the already dense wrinkles on his face became more obvious.
