Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 96 The body will eventually age, but technology is eternal

The Waterhouse Center is owned by the City of Orlando.

On non-match days, it is rented out for other activities.

Of course, this does not affect the use of the training hall.

Even if you go very early.

However, Tang Sen still found a gym for himself.

Right in Windermere.

This is a well-known wealthy community in the United States, and there is definitely no shortage of basic entertainment facilities.

Tang Sen personally visited the venue and found that the floor was no worse than that of the NBA, and the relevant training facilities were also fully equipped.

On the one hand, it is close and convenient for getting up early.

Ewing lived not far away.

Most importantly, training is a very personal thing.

Some basic training methods are fine, but methods like breathing exercises and contrast training are Tang Sen's bread and butter.

Let’s not talk about confidentiality.

But if you want to learn, you have to pay!
Since he could rest for two days, Tang Sen still arranged to get up early for training at five o'clock.

Brown won't say anything.

As it turned out, Ewing's worries were completely unnecessary.

As soon as he came back from San Antonio yesterday, he took Tangsen to training in the afternoon.

He is full of fighting spirit.

McGrady also arrived at the stadium on time.

Tang Sen’s previous provocation obviously worked.

The self-disciplined Ewing will not be absent.

After warming up, everyone proceeded according to the training plan.

During the simulation, Tang Sen took the game day into consideration, so before training today, he did some recovery training.

Guo Yonglin was also forced to get up early and combine his training with massage.

This kind of restorative static training will be more effective.

Only after the body has recovered can you increase the intensity and improve the training effect.

This was also when Tang Sen accidentally added some restorative training during the system simulation, and then found that the simulation results were better.

While they were practicing, someone walked into the gym.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Rivers!

"Tang, I'm sorry, I didn't disturb you."

Rivers walked up, shook hands with Townsend with a smile, and then greeted Brown and the other two.

"I didn't expect you guys to get up so early to train. I'm really touched."

Rivers praised.

He only found out yesterday that McGrady and Ewing also found Townsend, and then like Brown, they got up at five o'clock to train.

This is like a Breakfast Club remake.

How could Rivers not be happy with such diligence?

So today I took the opportunity to send the video and came over to take a look.

"Don, would you like to chat for a minute?" Rivers handed over the video.

This is the video of the game against the Spurs the day before yesterday. Donson specifically asked Brown to ask the team for a copy.

Tang Sen nodded and followed Rivers to the side.

Rivers pondered for a moment and then talked about inviting Tang Sen to be a trainer for the team.

"Tang, I respect your choice, but I have a compromise proposal. Can you listen to it?"

He glanced at Brown in the distance and continued, "Kwame is very important to us. We are willing to provide all the resources to help him grow quickly. I know he's used to training with you and participating in team training at the same time, and that means there's a lack of communication between you and us."

He pointed at Tang Sen and himself.

"And the lack of communication could lead to conflicts between the training you schedule and the training we schedule, which is not conducive to Brown's growth."

“I would rather we work together to help Brown grow.”

He expressed his thoughts.

He asked Brown and learned that Brown was now asking Donson to train him for $5 a month.

Now, the team has paid the money.

Then he gave Brown the green light, allowing him to use all the team's training facilities anytime and anywhere according to Townsend's training plan.

Except for tactical training, Brown can directly skip other training and follow Tang Sen's plan.

"The team has the best training equipment and professional nutritionists. It would be a waste if you don't use these resources."

"Most importantly, if you're with the team, he can make use of his time when we're playing away games."

Although we fly to different cities for away games, there are intervals in between and training will still be arranged.

Just like the next five consecutive guest games.

If Tang Sen didn't follow the team, that week would be wasted.

Then Rivers proposed that in addition to the basic expenses of Tangsen's team, the team would also be responsible for all the food and accommodation during away games.

In the end, it means that although Tang Sen is not a member of the Magic team in name, he follows the team throughout the whole process and actually does the job of the team trainer.

I'm only responsible for Brown.

"Don, what do you think?" Rivers asked with a smile.

Tang Sen fell into deep thought.

You know what, this model really works.

Just like Rivers said, we can make use of the time playing away games.

He had a five-game winning streak that lasted for a week.

You can definitely spare one or two hours every day for serious training.

If I stay in Orlando, I will be wasting my time.

The key also affects your own simulation training plan.

And by doing this, Rivers is giving Brown training privileges.

It shows that he really values ​​Brown.

In the NBA, big-name stars have privileges.

Just like Iverson never did strength training and Rodman never participated in training with the Mavericks.

There is also O'Neal. The Lakers media often complained that O'Neal did not train hard enough.

But it doesn't matter.

In the NBA, as long as you can play and perform well, the head coach will not force you to train or not.

It can be said that sometimes the head coach serves the star players.

Just like McGrady, the situation is special, but he still trains on his own.

"Let me think about it." Tang Sen did not agree on the spot.

We still need to discuss this with Brown.

"Of course." Rivers smiled and nodded, turned to leave, then stopped and said, "By the way, Don, if possible, help Brown practice blocking shots. He has great jumping ability, and I need him to be intimidating in the paint."

The impact of the rule changes is already being felt.

When centers are forced away from the paint, defenders penetrate more frequently.

At this time, someone needs to guard the basket to protect it.

Tang Sen nodded and took note.

After Rivers left, Tang Sen immediately pushed the video recorder over.

Today's training will mainly focus on recovery, so Brown needs to practice his skills.

It just so happens that Ewing is here too, so he can help with some advice.

"detail."

In front of the TV, Tang Sen started by making it clear.

Let’s not talk about offense for now. This needs to be practiced slowly. It’s not about pointing out where something is not done well and then you can beat Duncan immediately.

But the defense can.

Pointing out problems and sharing experiences on how to deal with them can lead to improvement.

“For example, this ball.”

Donson fast-forwarded the video to the fourth quarter, when Duncan began to explode.

At that time, Duncan sat on Brown on the left side of the penalty area, then cut across the middle and made a jump hook.

This move is almost exactly the same as Brown's best style of play.

Logically speaking, knowing this move and having a good defense, Brown shouldn't have let Duncan score so easily. But he just couldn't defend it.

"Let me ask you, where do you think the problem lies?" Tang Sen played this segment repeatedly, even in slow motion, to guide Brown to think.

Brown frowned and watched the video over and over again.

Ewing was right next to him, holding a dumbbell and doing lateral raises, with a strange expression on his face.

This is probably what Brown did during the offseason, studying his game videos second by second.

Seeing that Brown didn't say anything, Ewing couldn't help but remind him.

He could see where the problem was.

Brown still shook his head.

Tang Sen noticed that Ewing was about to burst out with a confession and said, "Patrick, tell Kwame what's wrong."

Ewing breathed a sigh of relief, hurried over, and adjusted the video to the moment when Duncan turned downward, pulled back, and then cut sideways to start.

"Look at his left foot."

Ewing pointed at the TV screen.

Brown stared at it with wide eyes, then suddenly his vision lit up and he exclaimed, "He stuck me."

Only then did Ewing nod.

Suddenly I remembered that in the first training game of the season, Brown studied himself thoroughly and tried to block his own route when he turned around.

"Yes, that's the detail." Tang Sen nodded, played it, then replayed it again, then said, "See? The step he took when he turned back was very long, and it happened to be stuck in the path of your lateral movement. Because of this, you were a beat slower."

Tang Sen couldn't help but sigh.

Really, it’s Duncan after all, his basic skills are so solid.

Just watching the game, it seems that his playing style is ordinary, but if you slow down the video, you will find that he is full of details.

Whether attacking or defending.

Brown understood, and thinking back to the game the day before yesterday, there were indeed many similar scenes. Duncan interfered with him through some detailed actions, making it impossible for him to defend him.

"So what should I do?" Brown asked.

The problem has been discovered, the key is how to improve it.

Tang Sen noticed Ewing again.

He stared at himself, as if he were a student in class who knew the answer and couldn't wait to answer it.

"Patrick, tell him."

There is a ready-made center textbook, so there is no reason not to use it.

Tang Sen's insights are not necessarily better than Ewing's.

Ewing immediately said, "The low-level approach is to wait for the moment when he turns around, confront him, and disrupt his rhythm."

"Brown, when defending inside, how to exert force and when to exert force are very important things, you have to think more about it. And sometimes, less action is better than more action. Simply put, it is to restrain your defensive desire and do less of those cutting balls and unnecessary confrontation actions."

Just like some guards dribble the ball in a fancy way, for Jordan, one step is enough.

The same goes for defense. Meaningless confrontation will only give the opponent opportunities and consume your own physical energy.

A good defender may look nonchalant, but once he makes a move, he will definitely hit the vital point.

Brown immediately turned his head and looked at Tang Sen.

Tang Sen had said before that one must restrain desires when defending.

He also summarized eight maxims to help people recognize the situation and eliminate illusions.

This is what is meant by eliminating illusions.

Ewing continued: "The smart way is to anticipate. Understand your opponent, be familiar with his every habit, and know how he will play in that situation. Just like this ball, if I were defending him, I would definitely choose to move sideways when he pulls back and extend my arms to block his route."

"Of course, I'm talking about my younger years."

Now Ewing, let alone blocking him in advance, can be easily passed by Duncan with just a fake shot.

Brown nodded continuously, lost in thought.

Tang Sen was not in a hurry to look at the next question. He asked Brown to stand up and practice with him.

Ewing is a better fit.

But he has his own training plan, and he paid for it, so he can't sacrifice his time to accompany Brown.

The morning training was delayed by an hour because of the addition of recovery training.

Townsend told Brown about Rivers' proposal.

"May I?"

Not surprisingly, Brown looked excited.

He had wanted to do this for a long time.

"Anyway, I think Arzonik is much worse than you." Brown curled his lips.

He always felt that practicing with Ted Arzonico was not effective.

"Don't say that."

After all, he is the head trainer of an NBA team, so he must be capable.

On non-competition days, we will naturally still practice three times a day.

Sometimes, Tang Sen really thinks that having a real fight with a superstar, even if he loses, is a good thing.

Just like the game against the Spurs, for Brown, the gains were greater than the previous few games.

Through Duncan, Brown's current problems can be exposed.

At the same time, watching videos, pointing out problems, and then adjusting and improving the method is indeed effective.

Especially with the help of the badge [Play with your brain].

Tang Sen found that Brown understood quickly.

During the last practice that night, Tangsen took some time to arrange a confrontation between Brown and Ewing.

It can be clearly felt that Brown has a better grasp of disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm and defensive details. After only a few balls, Ewing was made uncomfortable by the defense.

“He’s progressing so fast.”

McGrady and Donson stood on the sidelines and watched with a look of surprise on their faces.

In daily training before, Brown often faced off against Ewing. At that time, it was obvious that Brown was familiar with Ewing's style of play, but more often than not, he relied on his physical advantage to deal with Ewing.

After all, Ewing is old.

But looking at it now, you can clearly feel that Brown handled it more calmly.

No longer rushing to engage in physical confrontation, but being more patient and intelligent in interfering.

But when it comes to confrontation, he is very decisive.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Tang Sen smiled.

It seems that because of the badge, Brown understood things quickly.

After all, it's something that requires your brain. Sometimes it's just a layer of window paper. Once it's broken, you can learn it immediately.

But it's not as exaggerated as McGrady said.

To put it bluntly, Ewing is not in good shape now.

"Tracy, I would like to tell you about your situation." Tang Sen took the opportunity to say.

McGrady not only needs to train his body and gain weight, he also has goals.

Of course, it’s still the same as before. I can’t explain it clearly. I just keep saying one thing over and over again: I want to become stronger.

Then he said to listen to Tang Sen, and to practice in whatever way Tang Sen thought would help him become stronger.

He actually trusts himself.

So Tang Sen has been thinking about this problem these days.

So far this season, five games have been played.

Tang Sen did a lot of research and figured out how to improve McGrady's playing style.

"Tracy, I don't think you're fighting smartly enough." Tang Sen said straight to the point.

It was still the same as the beginning, when Tang Sen had the same first impression of McGrady.

It's just that McGrady is too superstitious about his talent and likes to play in a simple and rough style.

I am just faster than you and can surpass you in one step.

I just have a good shooting touch. No matter how you defend me, I can make the shot.

Normally, there is no big problem.

But the problem is, what if one day you lose your talent?

An injury can destroy all of a player's talent.

What should I do then?
Therefore, Tang Sen felt that he should practice his skills as much as possible while he was young and had the opportunity.

The body will eventually age, but technology is eternal.
