Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 33 Miami Special Training
Wade's special training place is an indoor arena in Palm Beach, Miami.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the swaying palm trees and the beautiful Miami Beach. The environment is quite comfortable.

In addition to Wade, there were Bosh, Haslem, Chalmers and James Jones in the training hall.

Except for Bosh, the rest are members of the Heat.

As for Bosh, his agent is also Thomas, and they were both rookies in 03, so he naturally has a close relationship with Wade.

Of course, there were also some trainers on site.

When Han Sen arrived, Wade was chatting with a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

Seeing Han Sen coming, Wade stopped talking and shouted to Han Sen, "Let me see who's here!"

When Han Sen walked over, Wade reached out and gave him a hug.

"No. 77, I heard you're awesome." Wade whispered in their ear during the hug.

There is no black fan value generated in the system. Wade really thinks he is awesome.

Basketball players naturally communicate through basketball.

A few guys met each other, shot some basketball to warm up, and then it was three on three in the half court.

The people in this venue are stronger than those in the Summer League, but Han Sen's strength has also increased after the Summer League, so he can still cope with it.

After playing a few rounds with alternating teammates, a group of people stood on the sidelines to rest and chat.

"Your defense still hasn't improved much." Wade was still as direct as ever.

Before, Hansen thought Wade was just a sharp-tongued person, but after the Summer League, especially the two games against the Kings, his thoughts changed.

Confrontation is the foundation of technology, just like the bottom of a pyramid. His defensive skills were improving, but his confrontation did not keep up. When confronting Wade, who was stronger than Evans, it did not feel that strong.

This is probably the reason why he has not been able to reach the bottleneck of [Star Catcher].

"I plan to gain weight and fight more in the summer."

Wade looked at Han Sen with wide eyes. Han Sen had found the right direction.

"Any plans?"

"I'm going to get to 100kg." That's the same weight as Evans.

Moreover, Wade is also at this weight now.

"Young man, I suggest you not do this." Just then, someone next to him spoke up.

Han Sen turned around and saw that it was the middle-aged man who had been communicating with Wade before.

It’s a bit strange to say, but this middle-aged man gave him a very familiar feeling, but he was sure he had never seen him before.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Tim Grover, my friend." Wade took the initiative to introduce.

Tim Grover?!

Han Sen was shocked when he heard this.

Who is Tim Grover? He is Jordan's trainer, and can even be said to be the originator of personal trainers.

As a fellow trainer, Han Sen must have heard of his name. What he didn't expect was that the other person was so young?
He remembered that in his previous life, the people he occasionally saw on the news were all old men with gray hair.

"Why do you say that?" Han Sen asked.

Although he was shocked, he did not think that what the other party said was right just because it was Grover.

It’s true that Grover is the originator of personal trainers, but that’s only because he was the first to try it.

The profession of trainer has been developing and was already very mature by his time.

For example, in the past it was always believed that "shooters cannot train muscles, otherwise it will affect their shooting accuracy", but in his era this view had been denied.

The most typical representative is Curry. In the later period of his career, Curry had very strong upper body strength, but it did not affect his shooting.

The root cause is the formation of muscle memory. To become stronger, you just need to adapt to the new memory. "Your body can't withstand such a large increase in weight in a short period of time." Grover said something that was a little unexpected to Hansen.

But Han Sen still disagreed with what he said.

Like Ben Simmons, gaining 15 kilograms in an offseason would indeed be too much for the body to bear, but he only gained 7 kilograms.

"How much weight do you think I should gain?" Han Sen asked.

"I do not know."

do not know?
Han Sen was stunned. I guess he didn't know you were going to speak!

"Everyone has their own most suitable weight, and it's up to the players to figure it out themselves."

Han Sen was speechless. Why did he feel like Grover was a charlatan?
It's the kind that talks about big principles, but how to do it specifically depends on your own understanding?

Especially considering Grover's age, the more they look alike, the more they resemble each other.

"You can try to gain 5 pounds at a time. If your body doesn't react much after two or three months, you can continue to gain another 5 pounds." Perhaps feeling questioned, Grover continued.

too slow.

Hansen felt that Grover was talking too slowly. According to Grover's progress, it would take him 100 to 6 months to gain weight to 9 kilograms, and the season would have already started by then.

If he continues to gain weight during the season, he won't have enough time to adapt to the new muscles and his shooting will be inaccurate.

"I'll try to do that." Han Sen said with a smile.

Although he didn't agree with what Grover said, he was Wade's friend after all, so he had to give him face.

During the following period, from mid-July to mid-September, Hansen trained with Wade in Miami.

He also gained weight during this period, from 93 kg to 98 kg.

He did not lower his goal, but instead gained weight in stages because it would take time to adapt to new muscle memory after gaining weight.

According to his plan, he will be able to reach 100 kilograms before the start of the season without affecting his touch.

The biggest impact of the weight gain is that he can obviously keep up with Wade when defending him.

Although this inevitably caused his movement speed to decline, it was still within an acceptable range.

Towards the end of the special training, Han Sen finally felt that he had reached the bottleneck of Star Catcher.

This undoubtedly means a lot to him.

This past summer, the Cavaliers continued to strengthen their backcourt.

They signed Anthony Parker in free agency, a 34-year-old veteran shooting guard who plays great defense and shot better than 43% from -point range in two of his three seasons with the Raptors.

In addition, they also signed Jamario Moon, nicknamed "Moon Man". Moon has been a starter since entering the league. Last season, he played for the Raptors and the Heat. He contributed 25 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 steals in 1.1 minutes, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 35.5%.

Add in Delonte West and Daniel Gibson who were already on the roster, and the competition for Hansen's rookie season was particularly fierce.

But now that [Star Catcher] has reached a bottleneck, he has the hope of standing out from the crowd.

Before the special training ended, Wade took Hansen aside for a private session.

In fact, from the personnel composition of Wade's training camp, it can be seen that he has a purpose.

After losing to the Hawks in the seventh game of the first round last season, the Heat team was full of energy.

Especially Wade, who played at the peak of his career last season, and his competitive spirit made him unable to accept such a result.

This might be the real reason why he invited Hansen to join the training camp and why he brought Grover to the training camp.

He needs to continue to break through himself and reach new levels in order to lead the Heat to a higher level.

Han Sen gained weight, and his defensive skills finally improved to a level that could put pressure on him, which was actually a help to him.

So after getting help, he also wanted to give Hansen something in return.
