Chapter 68 Muscle Memory
De Klerk stayed.

Tang Sen still needs a few days to simulate his training plan.

He mainly wants to improve his body.

He has been playing basketball for many years and he knows all the skills.

The reason why he can't be used on the court is simply because of his lack of physical fitness.

He is only 28 years old this year and is still in his prime. He has been a floor player throughout his career and has not suffered any major injuries, so there is still hope for him to improve through training.

The only thing that gave De Klerk a headache was getting up early.

Getting up at 4:30 was killing him.

But after hearing that Brown had been getting up so early in the past few months, he said he understood and stopped complaining.

Tang Sen's attention was still on Brown's shooting.

Tang Sen actually started thinking about this question after the summer league.

At the beginning, Tang Sen was inspired by the player named Reed, and thought that the best shooting method was the one that suited him.

So at the beginning, we simulated according to this idea.

But the results were not ideal.

It may also be related to the fact that the simulation time is too short.

Although I was promoted to Level 2 last month, I can only simulate for 14 days. For the most important skill of shooting, it is difficult to see any effect after two weeks of training.

In addition, Brown also had the problem of having slightly smaller hands, so Tangsen finally gave up this "evil" way of shooting.

Still have to take the right path.

The reason why a standard becomes a standard is that it is the most reasonable way of shooting after comprehensive consideration.

It may not be the best, but it's definitely not the worst either.

Practice the basics first, then consider your personality.

If we follow this line of thought, then Tang Sen has a say.

Tang Sen's shooting is absolutely textbook standard.

Three ninety degrees.

"Sir, I feel so stupid and my arm hurts," Brown complained.

Now he raised his hands, maintaining a standard shooting posture, motionless.

As for the lower body, the knees are also kept bent. Every few minutes, when I feel tired, I stand up and adjust myself.

But the movement of the arms cannot change and must be maintained.

"Don, I remember you said that this is how you trained back then." De Klerk, who was sitting on the floor to rest during a break in training, did not laugh at Brown, but said thoughtfully.

When he was in college, Tang Sen was almost a half-assistant coach, often instructing new players on how to practice their skills.

He remembered Tang Sen talking about how he practiced to shoot a standard shot when he was a child.

"Yes, that's how I practiced back then."

Tang Sen nodded.

In fact, when I was in junior high school, because of my height and lack of strength, my shooting was more like a lob shot, which was quick and far.

But later he was often disturbed by others, so he made up his mind to change his shooting posture.

But the muscle memory formed from playing ball since childhood is not so easy to change.

So Tang Sen figured out a solution on his own.

Destroy first, then rebuild!
Your muscles maintain a movement for a long time, forming muscle memory.

Well then, I will take a longer time to overwrite your memory.

Tang Sen was just like Brown, standing, maintaining one posture, standing until his muscles became stiff.

Pain, numbness, swelling, endure it and continue standing.

Tang Sen used this method, which was almost like injuring himself, to forcibly cover up his original muscle memory.

After glancing at the time on his watch, Tang Sen said, "Let's take a break."

Brown lowered his arms and shook them as if he had been pardoned.

"Don't be idle."

Tang Sen threw a ball over.

Brown took it dejectedly, and then used the method of throwing and catching to try to adjust the ball at the moment of catching it.

That is to rub the ball.

"The order." Tang Sen immediately reminded again, hold the ball with the left hand, rub it with the right hand, hold the ball with the right hand, rub it with the left hand.

At the beginning, Townsend asked Brown to follow this principle.

Brown said "oh" and quickly adjusted himself.

But once he regained consciousness, he slowed down immediately. De Klerk couldn't help but say, "Don, honestly, I don't know how Brown puts up with you."

After only a few days of training, he felt that Brown was like a masochist, willingly enduring all kinds of torture from Tang Sen.

"There's no other way. If you want to achieve results, you have to work hard."

If you want to achieve something without putting in any effort, you’re just dreaming.

As for catching such details, there is no way.

In fact, for a standard jump shot, you don't have to worry about rubbing the ball.

But Brown is different.

If he had a pair of big hands like Jordan and was good at wrapping the ball, then Tang Sen would definitely not waste time and effort on letting him practice rubbing the ball.

But his hands are one size smaller.

That tiny rub could help improve your shooting accuracy by one or two percentage points.

In order to overwrite his muscle memory as quickly as possible, Tang Sen even stopped physical training.

Just stand every day.

Tang Sen wanted to get him through this part as soon as possible to avoid him standing too long, which would affect his hook shot feel.

At first I just stood there, then I stood with the ball in my hand.

Tang Sen also made a request for Brown's situation, which was that the palm should not be completely attached to the ball, leaving some space, and then the thumb and index finger should be stretched out, so that these two fingers can act like a bracket to support and clamp the basketball.

This can greatly improve the stability of the ball after it is released.

If you want to shoot with a standard move, you have to do everything you can to improve the stability of the basketball's aerial posture.

This stop lasted for nearly ten days.

It was not until this time that Tang Sen realized that Brown's original inherent posture when shooting was gone.

His shooting muscle memory was forcibly reset to zero.

It’s so fast, I feel it’s inseparable from the system’s bonus.

He just stood there, and that was also a form of training.

Just when Tang Sen was planning to start formal shooting training, something big happened the next day.

The scene, which seemed like the end of the world, shocked the whole world.

In shock, Tang Sen contacted his sister immediately.

Although Tang Ling is on the West Coast, she often travels on business and flies all over the United States. What if she happens to be in New York?

And who can guarantee that the west coast will not be attacked?

Fortunately, my family is doing well.

Tang Ling also asked Tang Sen if he had time to come to Los Angeles, saying that his mother hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him.

Turning his head to look at the Brown family who were almost screaming in shock, Tang Sen said, "Maybe not now. The season is about to start, and I am the busiest at this time."

Tang Ling sighed on the phone and brought up the same old topic again, asking Tang Sen if he wanted to keep doing this. In her opinion, the sports industry was very cruel.

"I'm fine, and my income is not low," Tang Sen defended.

Tang Ling always told me to go to Los Angeles and hang out with her, but how much money could I make if I went there?

It’s not like now, where fifty thousand dollars a month is definitely a high salary.

This month it has directly exceeded 100,000.

De Klerk and Townsend were once teammates, but how could he have the nerve to not pay?

And we have to follow Brown's example.

"Sister, let's do this. Next month, when the new season starts, I should be able to relax a little. Then I'll take the time to go to Los Angeles." Tang Sen changed his tone.

The season has started and the players are busy, so trainers like me should have a relaxed time.

"Okay, anyway, you must always remember that no matter how you fare outside, this place will always be your home."

Tang Ling sighed and stopped persuading her.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Sen felt a pang of anxiety when he saw the image of billowing smoke on TV.

According to reports, Washington was also attacked.

If Brown hadn't been traded, he would still be in Washington at this time, maybe...

Tang Sen didn't think about it anymore.

It's not the place for a small person like me to worry about such a big thing.

It’s better to focus on the things at hand.

Use these last twenty days or less to make Brown's final preparations for the start of the new season.
