Last season, Chris Paul averaged 20 points and 10 assists per game, becoming the seventh person in the league history to achieve such data. The last one was Tim Hadavi 15 years ago. Now the retired star has agreed to the invitation of the Clippers and become the new assistant coach.

After retiring for many years, Hardaway has been almost forgotten. Thibodeau remembered that he was because in December last year, he recommended himself and wanted to be Rajon Rondo's assistant coach.

Unfortunately, Hardaway failed to recommend himself. The current manager of the Celtics is Danny Angie, a guy who was repeatedly knocked down by him back then. Angie felt uncomfortable when she saw him.

Hardaway's father is a legend of Chicago street basketball. His extraordinary skills were brought to the NBA by Hardaway. When Hardaway was young, he could shake his opponent away with simple movements every night, then shoot, layup, pass the ball, or use the iconic, fire-burning three-pointer. He is a master in this field, incomparable.

When Ye Feng and Love returned to Los Angeles together, Tim Hardaway had already arrived in Los Angeles. He joined the Clippers because he admired Lowry. He felt that Lowry looked like his young self, with a height, weight and arm span. Unfortunately, Lowry's shooting was not accurate. Of course, if Lowry's shooting was accurate, it would be impossible to be traded to the Clippers.

Ye Feng met Hardaway in the coach's office. His big bald head could reflect the sun and was wearing a fancy casual T-shirt. Although his body was not as fat as Barkley, he also gained a lot of weight. His nickname was just right, and he was indeed as round as a Beetle, small and covered in oil.

Hardaway was still very hot. After chatting for a few words, he said dirty words: "Damn, Danny Angie's bastard doesn't want me. I could shake him back then and then he would break his ankle. I would make them look good."

Ye Feng asked with a smile: "Tim, if I learn your breakthrough skills, do you think I can learn it well?"

The higher the body, the harder it is to bring the ball well, but Hardaway is optimistic about Ye Feng. "I have watched your game and you should be able to practice well. You are very fast and have good flexibility. You can learn 70% of my peak level, which is enough to make you play in the swing position. Of course, you have to practice shooting better."

In order to practice dribbling and shooting, Ye Feng began to focus on face-frame attack after trading with the Grizzlies. His scoring ability has declined, but his results are not obvious. Now with a guard coach who is best at dribbling in history, he believes that there will be some improvement.

After discussing special training for the holiday with Hardaway, Thibodeau called Lowry and asked if he would like to practice more. Lowry's goal is to find someone to train in the new season (I was about to find someone to train. When I heard that it was Hardaway's coach, I agreed immediately.

Almost all American fans have heard of Ye Feng's story. Last summer, he served as a sparring coach for Bynum, and finally practiced to the Lakers. More training is the best way to improve. Ye Feng gave up the holiday and practiced more this year, which inspired Lowry. When he was in the Grizzlies, he admired Ye Feng's hard work. He also knew that Ye Feng hated lazy people and wanted to fight for the sake of the future.

The Clippers are happy to provide them with convenience, and the training ground is not closed during the holidays. When they learned that Ye Feng and Lowry were going to train, Love was also interested in participating. He was stimulated at the Dream 8 training camp and did not want to be idle. Even if he couldn't practice skills, he practiced shooting more and lost weight.

In order to make Love Summer smoothly improve, the Clippers introduced an inside assistant coach at the suggestion of Thibodeau. This man was very famous in the 1980s and 1990s. His name was Rick Mahon!

Ma Hong enjoys a high reputation for playing with his body. He often uses a lot of physical contact to make up for his relatively limited bounce ability. In the 1980s, the Pistons' "Bad Boys Legion" was notorious. Ma Hong was called "the most evil person of bad boys". He is almost synonymous with violence. He looks like a bodyguard. Although he is not as big as a center, he can often be used as a center. He was the king of thugs who shocked the league at that time. He personally strangled all the aces in the league. If anyone sees him angry, it is almost equivalent to seeing the hospital bed...

For example, in a game in Chicago in 1988, Jordan broke into the inside and was held and dropped by Ma Hong from the air. Next, Jordan's personal guard, Charles Oakley and Ma Hong, staged a boxing battle. In the end, the Bulls' head coach Doug Collins was also thrown into the stands by Ma Hong. Yes, Mr. Hong was so fierce. If he had played in the NBA in the 21st century, he would have been suspended for life.

Ma Hong worked as an assistant coach for the Hawks, and later went to the Detroit Shock Team Detroit Shock Team as an assistant coach. The coach of the Shock Team Ranbill is his senior brother and the number one butcher of NBA. The two have a common language. But Lanbill only beat men at least, and Ma Hong didn't even let go of women. After he retired, the league was happy for a while, but he did not change his viciousness when he was an assistant coach in wnba. In his eyes, humans had no gender distinction. In the game between the Shock Team and the Spark Team, the double-seller had a dispute. Ma Hong jumped into the field to overturn the opponent's Leslie on the spot, and the whole game was shocked! Ma Hong was of course suspended afterwards.

Thibodeau found such a godly man. Clippers manager Elgin Baylor thought that he had no goal anyway, so ask.

Ma Hong's economic situation has been bad recently. He is about to go bankrupt due to the subprime mortgage crisis. Now he is in need of a high-paying job. The annual salary offered by the Clippers is much higher than that of the wnba assistant coach. He is immediately moved. After all, the women's basketball team is not as exciting as the men's basketball team, and he prefers the NBA.

So, another beast joined the Clippers!

Ma Hong arrived in Los Angeles the next day after he reported to the training ground and met Ye Feng and others.

Ma Hong likes the physique of Love wrestlers very much. After saying hello, he asked: "Kevin, look at your physique. If you play the Sun next season, you will definitely be here to fight O'Neal. I ask you, will you hit O'Neal's injured thigh with your fists?"

Love was stunned on the spot. "Of course not."

Ma Hong smiled and said, "It's very good."

It seems that this is to try my character. The idea of ​​Love just came to my mind. Ma Hong looked serious and continued, "The correct way is to hit him with his knees. The strength of his fists is too small."

Police! Where is the police? There is a jailbreaker here! Love shouted in his heart... No matter what, this pervert is now his assistant coach.

Under Ma Hong's teaching, Love began to practice defensive skills that he had never heard of in college. They were all small movements, but these things were very practical for him. His shortcomings were just insufficient bounce and movement speed.

Ma Hong's theory is evil. "When there is no absolute speed and bounce, you have to find a way to constantly fight the opponent's body, and use your strength to make the opponent unable to jump. As long as you can do this, your defense can be improved by a higher level. If there is a flying man who wants to dunk in front of you, don't try to cover him, knock him over, pull him down, and throw him into a fierce position. He doesn't dare to jump again in the whole game."

Ye Feng also listened to Ma Hong's lessons, but the method was too bad. He suspected that if Love really did everything, he would be taught to be another Ranbir.

He studied with Lowry with Hardaway, who arranged different courses.

Ye Feng must complete the field running while making various tricks. He cannot stop doing the moves. He should regard the tricks as a habit, constantly change directions, use the turn to catch the ball under his crotch, dribble behind him, etc.

Ye Feng expressed his discomfort of this training method. "Tim, these movements are flashy and easy to make mistakes when using them during the game, right? Do I really want to practice this?"

Hardaway laughed and said, "It is indeed easy to make mistakes, but many babies learn to run before they learn to walk, fall down and get up before running until they become stable. My father is a streetball player. He has the strength, but he has not joined the NBA because in his opinion, basketball is the most elegant sport in the world, performance and art. If you can do it according to my training method and treat fake movements as a habit, you will dare to do any movements when you go on the court. Thinking about it will only make your movements stiffer. Do you have to develop a habit? Can you understand?"…

"I see."

Taking dribbling as a habit is a state of mind. Ye Feng used to care too much about the connection of movements and always thought about what to do next, caring about the opponent's defense. He would be slow to think about it this way. If his body develops a habit and moves subconsciously, he will definitely be much faster. He has not made much progress in dribbling for a year, but it turns out that it is because the direction is wrong.

Hardaway shouted: "If you understand, keep practicing, don't stop. Do some tricks every day until you can run around the court for 5 laps under high speed exercises, and keep doing fake moves without making mistakes. I will teach you my unique skills. You should feel honored. When I was a child, my father passed these tricks only to his family, and to his men but not to his women."

Oh my god, are you practicing the invincible leg? It’s also said that the man is not the woman. Ye Feng complained in his heart and began to practice running the ball on the lap.

Hardaway guides Lowry to shoot after making fake moves in various positions of the court. He is 183cm tall and can average more than 20 points per game for several seasons. There are not many guards who can do this in the NBA. Lowry’s flaw is not breakthrough, but inaccurate shooting after breakthrough. If the shooting is not accurate, it will be difficult to attract defense, and there will be few opportunities to pass a good ball. Hardaway told Lowry all his experience and asked him to focus on practicing breakthrough throwing. As long as the guard practices the throwing, the opponent has to defend. Mid- and long-distance shooting can be placed behind and practiced slowly, because Lowry does not have a height advantage, and breakthroughs can help his teammates better.

A few days later, the three coaches formulated training plans for Ye Feng and others.

Ye Feng is the main practice of breakthroughs and shooting. Love is the main practice of mid-range shooting, and another task is to lose weight. Lowry does not need to practice long shots, and breakthroughs and throwing are the main events he needs to practice.

Ye Feng has the most tasks, and Thibodeau asked him to train superstars in the way he trains superstars. He wants him to strive to achieve "23/37/40" next season, which is the balanced proportion of the league's super swingers. This means that 23% of the shots are three-pointers, 37% of the shots are mid-range shots, and 40% are attacks at the basket. Such swingers are often the most threatening.

Ye Feng had some difficulty in developing a three-pointer in one summer. Thibodeau hoped that he would at least be able to practice mid-range shots and ball-holding attacks by one level, and threatened that if he couldn't practice, he would not always use him as the core attack next season.

After saying this, Ye Feng was under pressure and he didn't want to be a role player. He also knew that if he wanted to become a real core, he had to put in more effort than others.
Chapter completed!
