Chapter 9 Training Program
Throughout August, several sports teams at the University of Southern California were secretly conducting hot summer training. Although the school knew that this was a violation, it still opened the back door wide, and some security guards even stayed outside the training hall to prevent people from peeking at the team's training, which was actually just keeping a watch.
The University of Southern California does this, so it is naturally the word "interest". To put it bluntly, they are just for "money"!
In the United States, a strong college basketball team can bring in $20 million to the school in a year. That is to say, those strong teams can earn nearly $100 million a year, while those weak teams only have $20 million.
Note that this refers to teams that can enter the top 64 in the country, and those that cannot enter the national championship will naturally not make so much money.
USC successfully reached the national championship last season with OJ Mayo's brave performance, but stopped at the semi-finals of 32 in the brutal knockout round.
To put it bluntly, the fact is that USC was eliminated in the first round of the championship, and Mayo also lost the No. 1 pick.
But even with such a bad record, the University of Southern California's income reached 40 million US dollars last season. So it is understandable that in order to recruit talented high school students, these universities buy sky-high insurance for them, and nutritional expenses are all a drop in the bucket.
In order to poach DeRozan, Floyd must have given him a lot of benefits in private. Maybe he arranged a job for DeRozan's parents in college. This is a method of admissions often used by NCAA schools. It is very easy to have problems when giving money to the players' families. However, no one can find any problems when arranging work for the players' families.
Freud did this for the sake of benefit, and the word "money".
The annual salary of NCAA basketball coaches is linked to the team's record. The better the team's record, the more their salary and bonuses will be.
Every year, coaches of the top 64 teams in the United States have annual salary of at least half of them exceed one million US dollars. For example, the famous old coach K, the old guy's annual salary + commission can reach tens of millions of US dollars. Even if the coaches of the other traditional strong teams are not as much as coach K, they are still around three to five million US dollars.
These college basketball coaches have higher salaries than most NBA coaches, which is why many well-known NCAA coaches are reluctant to coach in the NBA. Not to mention the less money they earn in the NBA, those big-name stars are even more difficult to serve, so how comfortable it is to take charge of the power of life and death in college.
On August 20, Wu Huang’s training plan was determined by the coaching staff.
This is a big project. In the past two days, the team is about to dissect Wu Huang's body, in order to develop a training plan that best suits Wu Huang's physical fitness.
Basketball training is roughly divided into "ball training" and "basketball training".
To put it simply, the main training techniques of ball training, while the ball training is to enhance physical fitness.
This may not be accurate, but it is convenient to understand.
The physical fitness of a basketball player generally refers to height, wingspan, speed, explosive power, bounce, strength, physical coordination, flexibility, and endurance. Many of these are born, not that you can catch up with others in just a few hours of training a day, and these abilities are barely enough. The only result of overtraining is to get rid of yourself, so a scientific training plan is very important to the players.
Basketball players do not have very high requirements for upper limb strength, two-thirds of them are the waist and waist down. Speed and bounce are closely related to the calves. Generally speaking, if you bounce well, the speed will not be bad; if you bounce well, the bounce will not be low.
Many fans saw the NBA stars on TV flying in the air so cool!
This kind of bounce ability is a dream for many basketball players, but most people can only think about it. Physical fitness is given by their parents. If you want to know what your innate conditions are, you can go and see it yourself.
1. Ankle: If your ankle is like a frog's ankle, which looks small from the back and slightly wide from the side, it's great, and you have the first characteristic of excellent bounce. Because your ankle is small, the force emitted by the foot when you jump can be more concentratedly transmitted from the ankle to the body through the legs.
2. Toe fingers: If your big toe is very long, then I'm sorry, you are destined to not jump high. Because the long toe fingers shortens the distance of the arch, disperse a lot of strength, and affects the elasticity of the landing. It's really a tragedy.
3. Heel tendon: Look at the tendon growing upwards on the back of your heel. If it is properly thick and tough, tough, and grows to a very high place, it will almost be under the knee joint to have a calf. Congratulations, you are very lucky. You can jump high and like a frog. This can be seen at a glance from many NBA bouncers.
In short, whether in the NBA or CBA, when players participate in the basketball team when they were young, the coach will first perform a "bone-touching" test for you, and they will touch your waist downwards in a very obscene way.
The "bone touch" here refers to testing your physical talent. If you have good physical talent, you will be qualified to train basketball. Otherwise, even in a democratic and free America, you will be persuaded to withdraw by your coach. Even if you are finally allowed to join the basketball team, you will not be given a chance to play. Just think that you can exercise with the team because you have no talent.
The physical fitness of black people is the best among the three races of yellow, white and black. This is a recognized fact and a conclusion after scientific research. Black people have rich white muscle fibers in tendons, which are more than white and yellow people. The white muscle fibers in tendons directly affect explosive power. Although acquired exercise can also increase speed and bounce, compared with professional players, this increase is not enough. Especially the speed and explosive power required for most sports. Even if ordinary people train harder, can they train a speed of 100 meters to within 11 seconds?
NBA guards are all top-notch players, and their innate conditions are good, so you have nothing to say. Those fast players, such as Wu Huang, the only freak who runs back and forth in 11 seconds, have long muscle fibers in the calf. When he is on the side of his body, he will use force to the calf, and the muscle groups are full of beauty.
After hearing about it, the university sprint team ran to Floyd several times to ask for people, intending to train Emperor Wu to become the first yellow man in the world to run within 10 seconds.
Wu Huang's strength training is divided into two parts, "speed" and "explosion". The two training sessions have four different methods. Four strength trainings are required every week. In the early stages, each strength training is 60 minutes.
There is a famous American basketball trainer famous saying: "In the 48 minutes of the game, the time you touch the ball and use the upper limbs may account for less than a quarter of the total time, but within 48 minutes you need to use your legs at all times." The importance of lower limb strength can be seen.
First of all, speed training, mainly conducting "horizontal one-leg jump", "resistance sprint running", "lung jump", and "weight-bearing and lifting leg run".
"Horizontal one-foot jump" can increase the change direction of the side, reduce speed conversion ability, and increase the agility of the player. To put it bluntly, it makes your starting speed fast and slow down. The emergency stop and start up when the player breaks through is often the most direct and effective way to make it.
"Resistance Sprint Run" mainly trains acceleration, deceleration and side muscle groups on the legs, increasing agile change ability and muscle endurance, and enhancing explosive power. This kind of training is a training that all backcourt players must perform, which can significantly increase the ability to fight during running and increase body balance.
"Lunger Jump" is used to practice leg muscles and hip muscles, and is also pursuing explosive power. This is one of the classic movements for sprinters to train strength. The guards on the basketball court also use this training method, which improves absolute speed.
"Running with weight and high legs" is also to enhance leg strength, expand strides, improve flexibility and coordination. Basketball players are not as fast as possible. Many players like to rush into the crowd of people, which is not good at mastering strides. If you want to dodge maneuvers like Ginobili and Kobe, you can do maneuver during breakthroughs, this training must be carried out.
Explosive strength training mainly involves "weight-bearing squats behind the neck", "straight-leg deadlift", "goat waist-stretching combination".
"Squats" are one of the hard indicators that reflect physical fitness level. They focus on training the quadriceps and gluteus muscles, aiming to improve the ability to stretch the knees and hips. For basketball, lower limb strength is the root of everything and the basis of running and jumping.
"Straight-leg deadlift" focuses on enhancing the strength of the posterior femoral muscles and gluteal muscles, improving running speed and starting speed, and training to coordinate the force and use explosive power in multiple joints. The calves of basketball players are very important, but the same is true for thigh strength training. If the thigh is weak, you may not stand firm when landing, so you can still play.
"Goat Pushing the waist" needs to be performed in a Roman chair, aiming to improve the control ability of the erection spinal muscles on the upper side of the gluteus muscles, multifiddle muscles and lower back muscles, and improve the stability of the body when running, jumping, and twisting, and practice waist strength. We often see Wade spinning tops in the crowd, playing four, and maintaining balance to push the ball. Or Kobe 1V5, flashing in the air, and finally waiting for all his opponents to fall, then shooting. These are strength on the waist, which can support his body to make various difficult moves in the air. No superstar in the NBA has insufficient waist strength.
"Strength lifting combination" requires the complete completion of the entire movement trajectory of the human body from "pulling up" to "pushing up", which is the most common training method. The degree of coordination and rate of players completing this process reflects the ability of multi-joint joints to coordinate force. Although everyone is practicing, senior trainers can see your talent at a glance. In addition to improving the strength level, it is more important to significantly improve the nerve's ability to control muscles and increase the coordination of muscles throughout the body. This is an essential quality for competitive sports.
Floyd was very worried that after this set of speed and explosive training, could Wu Huang's body be able to bear it? Will it be directly ruined by them?
Wu Huang's training plan is not much different from the one used by OJ Mayo last year. Floyd is worried that with the body of a yellow person, he can eat the training volume of black athletes. He and the entire coaching staff have never directed a yellow person, and he is really unsure.
Floyd has already planned to check Wu Huang's physical fatigue every day from the first day of training. Once he shows signs of being unable to bear it, the coaching staff will immediately reduce Wu Huang's training volume by 20%.
These training can be considered as ball-free training. The 60-minute training time seems to be very short, but in fact this time is already very long.
In the NBA, if it is during the season, players usually perform 30 minutes of strength training every day, but it depends on the schedule. When the schedule is tight, they will stop strength training. Outside the season, players generally perform 45 to 60 minutes of practice every day, with an abnormal exception like Kobe and James. One of these two people rarely practices strength, and the other starts practicing at four or five o'clock in the morning.
Although Wu Huang's strength training is not long each time, it can be arranged so tightly, with diverse methods and great intensity, which is really something that ordinary athletes can persist. If Wu Huang can persist, under such high-intensity strength training, he will likely have the enviable physical fitness of NBA players during college.
This is also the ability that most rookies with high draft picks have. When choosing rookies, NBA teams have to look at football players, and their physical fitness accounts for a greater proportion.
