Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 78 He's Just a Rookie

"morning."

Rivers was holding a cup of coffee, with a smug look on his face, and he greeted the staff he met.

He walked quickly into the locker room.

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

"So, Don wants you to watch Patrick's game tapes every day, even pausing them second by second to study them?" Grant looked surprised and turned to Ewing, "Patrick, you know how you lost, don't you?"

Ewing rubbed his face, feeling very depressed.

I knew it, how does this guy know me so well? It turns out he has been secretly studying me for so long.

Seeing everyone burst into laughter, Ewing retorted, "What are you laughing at? Why did Don only let Brown watch my tape instead of Shaq and Hakeem's? That only proves that I am the truly skilled center."

There are only those three left, and you still have the nerve to call yourself center?

As he spoke, he also said to Brown: "What are you watching videos for? If you want to learn something, I will teach you."

Brown nodded hastily.

Rivers was secretly amazed.

Several veterans were introduced this season, and he was also worried that there would be conflicts between the veterans and young players.

It's a common thing, not surprising.

Unexpectedly, because of Brown, the two gangs miraculously became extremely harmonious.

Listening to people talking about Townsend, Rivers became interested. He walked up to Brown with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him for his good performance yesterday.

The training camp has been open for three days.

During these three days, Brown truly conquered everyone with his performance.

Otherwise, how could Rivers be in such a good mood?
Combining inside and outside, the Magic is about to take off.

"Brown, when you are free one day, let Don come to the team so I can meet him." Rivers said again.

There are now four Magic trainers, including Ted Arzonico.

Arzonico is good at physical training, but his more important responsibility is to lead the team and communicate with the coaching staff.

The remaining three people are: one is the inside coach, one is responsible for physical fitness, and the last one is responsible for shooting, each with his own responsibilities.

This is a relatively normal trainer configuration.

The key is level.

Rivers is not saying that Arzonico is not good enough, but he is definitely not excellent.

So if Tang Sen is good at training inside, he can definitely be invited to join the team.

Just think of it as continuing to train Brown.

"Really?"

When this was mentioned, Brown's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Coach, are you going to offer Mr. a trainer job? Believe me, he's the best trainer in the world."

His enthusiasm made Rivers a little overwhelmed.

But he would not discourage Brown's enthusiasm. He smiled and said, "I understand. I'll talk to him after I meet him."

Brown nodded excitedly. He had previously thought of letting Tang Sen apply for the position of magic trainer.

This way I can continue to train with myself.

On the training ground.

After three days of initial running-in, Rivers felt that it was almost done and he could get down to business.

He still has to try to play zone defense.

Even if you can't figure it out, you have to give it a try.

The form he planned was a 3-2 zone defense, which was a direct application of the zone defense method used in FIBA ​​games.

He thinks well.

Brown and Grant stayed in the inside, and McGrady was in the middle. He is tall and has long arms. He used to be more defensive in the Raptors and has good assist defense ability.

Let him be in the middle and be responsible for supporting and assisting defense.

The idea is good, but when it came to the actual drill, Rivers almost developed high blood pressure.

"Drip drip!"

Rivers blew the whistle again and yelled to Grant on the court: "Horace, three seconds left, you have to pay attention to the time."

Grant looked confused and asked back, "It's only been three seconds."

He was counting in his mind and thought it was still not enough.

"Doug, this is too troublesome. I have to count the time while I'm playing on the court?" Grant complained frustratedly.

Is this playing ball or counting?

"Look at Brown, how come he's not having any problems?" Rivers pointed at Brown. They said they were practicing zone defense, but it was inseparable from the three-second defense.

Because of the joint defense, each team guards an area, so there is no thought of moving with others, thinking that the opponent will go to the next defense area.

This resulted in Grant frequently embarrassing himself and accidentally leaving himself in the penalty area.

But Rivers was surprised to find that after practicing for more than an hour, Grant and De Klerk on the opposite side all made mistakes, except Brown, who did not make even a single one.

"Yeah, Brown, how come you're not in trouble?" Grant turned his head and asked.

He also found it strange.

This kid was running in and out of the penalty area, it felt like there was an alarm clock in his head.

Brown said: "The sir has been training me to adapt to the defensive three seconds for the last month, so I will be fine."

During that period, Tang Sen put a lot of effort into training Brown to master the three-second defense.

"Don again?"

Grant was stunned. He had heard Brown talk about Tang Sen a lot in the past two days.

Now he just wanted to know how many events Tang Sen had trained in.

How can this be possible?

Rivers immediately came over and asked Brown how Townsend was training.

"It's just a timer."

Brown gestured.

He stood at the edge of the penalty area with his arms raised, letting Grant pass by him. When he was an arm's length away, he immediately started timing the player, setting a loud sound to remind him when 2.5 seconds were up.

It should have the effect of giving Brown a fright.

"Then over time, I developed the habit of occasionally extending my legs out of the box to reset the clock."

Rivers' eyes lit up.

Successful training methods must be learned.

He immediately asked several inside players to practice like this.

But after just a moment, Grant cried out that he couldn't stand it anymore, saying it was too noisy and he was about to have a heart attack.

Rivers encouraged him and asked him to persevere.

If Brown can do it, why can't you?

After hearing this, Grant and the others became depressed.

Well, after playing for so many years, I can’t be worse than a young kid.

But this kind of training continued until the next day, and Grant gave up and refused to train like this anymore.

"Doug, you know, this morning when I came here, the car behind me honked at me, and I almost stepped on the accelerator and rushed out." If you keep practicing like this, there will be problems.

Rivers was also at a loss.

Why does Brown succeed with the same training method but Grant and others fail?

Do you still choose the trainer?
And it's not just about adapting to the three-second defense, but also the zone defense.

Rivers found that it really didn't work.

Always missing people.

Moreover, the lack of coordination easily leads to gaps, which allow the opponent to seize the opportunity to complete the open cut.

Instead it was Brown.

Rivers was surprised to find that Brown was not only able to adapt well to the three-second defense, but also had a good sense of returning to defense.

When the opponent seizes the opportunity to break through, Brown can always return to defense in time. He has excellent jumping ability and is very good at limiting breakthroughs.

The only problem is that once he returns to defense, he will miss people.

"Don't tell me, this is Tang training you again?" Rivers said.

This defensive awareness was so timely, it was obvious that he had practiced specifically for this purpose.

"Yes, I've been practicing for a long time." Brown nodded seriously.

Tang Sen has put a lot of effort into training his short-distance movement speed and trying to improve his defensive speed.

Rivers stopped talking, and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart.

What on earth is Tang Sen trying to do?

He's a rookie!
In five months, do you want to train Brown into an all-around warrior?
The key is to practice it.

What kind of magical trainer is this?

At this moment, Rivers had a strong desire to see Tang Sen as soon as possible.
