Chapter 9: Xia Xun Duo
Bill has rented a training gym and hired a trainer and nutritionist, all of which have been arranged. The training gym is not far from Taylor's Villa, only a few kilometers away.
"Yi Jianlian, forget it, let's call you Ah Lian, we are about the same age. (Written according to Yi Jianlian's age in the Basketball Association)"
"Okay, Li Tian." Yi Jianlian was a little confused when he saw that Li Tian was suddenly very formal.
"That's it. Since you have chosen to train with me, I hope you won't be as sloppy as you were in Las Vegas during training. If you are still so sloppy, I will not take Brother Yao's face into consideration. I will Please leave." Li Tian hates players with a loose attitude.
"Li Tian, I won't be lax and will train strictly." Yi Jianlian was also frightened by Li Tian. The last bullfight and the one-on-one performance in the summer league left a deep impression on Yi Jianlian.
"That's good. I'll let the nutritionist and trainer make a corresponding plan for you. You just need to follow their execution. If you have any opinions, just say it."
"Okay, Li Tian."
"Haha, relax, Arab League, we will become teammates of the national team in the future." Li Tian suddenly changed back to his previous state.
Yi Jianlian originally wanted to train alone, but Yao Ming told him privately that if he trained with Li Tian, the gains would be much greater than those of training by himself.
"Let's go, Ah Lian, let's run to the training hall."
Soon, the two arrived at the training hall.
Bill was very considerate. The trainers and caddies made all the arrangements, and even the money was spent.
I specially invited Mike Procopio, who is very famous in the NBA.
Yi Jianlian has insufficient physical reserves and is a little out of breath.
Li Tian has already started communicating with the trainer.
"What abilities do you want to train and improve this summer?" Mike asked Li Tian.
"In the summer, I will first train my three-pointers, running without the ball and one-man defense abilities." It was clear.
"Okay, then you can shoot a few three-pointers first and let me see." Mike pointed to the three-point line on the sidelines.
Li Tian has Jordan's body and skills, but if he wants to reach his strongest strength, he still needs unremitting training and continuous improvement and improvement.
"Li, your three-point shooting percentage is good and your shooting posture is also very good. There is no need to change these. It's just that your shooting speed is a bit slow and needs to be improved." Mike directly pointed out Li Tian's three-point flaw.
"Okay, no problem, then how should I improve."
"You need to speed up your shot, don't make any pauses when shooting, speed up the speed of the ball, and improve the speed of your shooting preparation. I will give you some videos that I used to guide players to train. You can watch it first and see if there is anything you don't understand. Come and ask me."
Mike Procopio turned around and gave the video to Li Tian. The training hall was fully equipped and the machine that played the video was on the sidelines.
Li Tian took the video to watch the video.
Mike Procopio walked to Yi Jianlian who was already resting.
Yi Jianlian's English was not good, so the communication between the two was stumbling.
Li Tian didn't ask what they were communicating about.
After watching the video, Li Tian started three-point training.
Mike Procopio was watching Li Tian's training and recording something.
What Li Tian got was Dell Curry’s shooting video.
"Li, stop for a moment. This is what I asked you about your shooting record and findings. You can take a look at it first."
Li Tian looked at the questions recorded by Mike and was shocked.
I have three-point shooting skills, and my shooting percentage is very high during training. I didn't expect that there would be so many problems.
Look at Mike's records one by one.
From what Bill told him, he relied on many connections to agree to come over and help train Li Tian for a week.
Mike is a plain-looking man, a chubby fat man, only 1.7 meters tall.
Fans don't know Mike, but among NBA players, if they want to choose a trainer, he is one of the first choices.
In another dimension, it was with his training and help that Kobe achieved two consecutive championships. He was famous for his humility and loyalty, and was highly respected and welcomed by the players.
I asked Mike again how to overcome some difficulties and what is the best way to do it. I discussed how to improve each one, and then kept trying and training.
With the help of the caddy, continue to train using the modified posture.
Catch the ball!
Take off!
Take action!
"boom!"
"Whoosh!"
"boom!"
...
Training over and over again.
The quick three-point shot is completely different from Li Tian's shot in the NCAA. The faster the speed, the less stable the shot, and the lower the shooting percentage. Looking at the poor shooting rate, Li Tian was also frightened.
This is why many players gain weight, lose weight, modify shooting postures, hone and learn new skills in the off-season. If these trainings are carried out during the season, they will have a great impact on the shooting rate.
Adjusting shooting habits and rhythm cannot be developed overnight. Many players have practiced for a season or two and finally gave up.
With his three-point shooting skills, he adapted much faster than others.
"Li, you are really great. You are the fastest person I have ever seen to adapt to changing shooting postures." Mike saw Li Tian's quick adaptability and couldn't help but praise him.
After adapting to the new shooting speed, the shooting rate was horribly low, only 40%. For Li Tian, this shooting rate was unacceptable.
In normal training, when the condition is bad, it is around 85%, and when the condition is good, it can reach 95%. This time it has dropped so much.
"Very good, Li, continue to maintain this shooting speed, and don't worry about the hit rate. The hit rate will slowly recover after you adapt to the new shooting method and shooting speed." Mike reminded Li Tian who was training. .
From time to time, a ball would suddenly be thrown over when the ball boy was feeding the ball. In a hurry, Li Tian did not receive the pass from Mike or the ball boy.
"Li, you have to be alert at all times. You don't know when a defender will rush towards you to help defend you, or a figure will fly out from behind you at any time. What you have to do is, no matter what kind of interference, You have to throw the ball out, you know?" Mike continued to sit and interfere.
Li Tian trained for a few sets and his arms were a little sore, so he took a rest.
"Li, our time is limited, and we can't train with you all the time. The few minutes you're resting are just for me to explain to you about running without the ball." Mike saw Li Tian's talent and hard work, and wanted to put all his effort into it. Can teach Li Tian.
"Li, look at this video of Hamilton's running without the ball." Mike found the teaching materials on running without the ball from the teaching materials he prepared and opened it for Li Tian to see.
"Ah Lian, come here too, you need to learn this too." Ah Lian, who was training, ran over wearing a rough suit.
It can be felt that Yi Jianlian trains very hard. No wonder he became the first player in the Chinese men's basketball team after Yao Ming. Although he has talent, it is inseparable from his hard work.
"A-Lian, you also need to learn to run without the ball. It's true that you are the No. 6 pick, but I don't think the Bucks will arrange tactics specifically for you to make you the boss of the team."
In order to help Yi Jianlian adapt to English, Li Tian made all communications in English.
"Yes, I think so too. Yi and Li are right. The Bucks still have the No. 1 pick." Mike agreed with Li Tian's views on Yi Jianlian.
Mike kept explaining what to pay attention to when moving without the ball, how to move, how to use teammates and opponents to get rid of defenders, and how to take action the moment you receive the ball.
"Li, this is the most fundamental reason why I asked you to speed up the shot. The NBA is not the NCAA. No one will wait for you to adjust your position before rushing over to cover. They may rush over to cover before you catch the ball. .”
Listening to Mike's explanation, the two of them nodded continuously.
"Come on, one of you will run, and the other will chase after you."
After saying that, the two of them started training. Other training staff listened to Mike's guidance and appeared in pick-and-roll and defensive positions from time to time. Some interfered with Li Tian's movement, and some blocked Yi Jianlian's pursuit.
"Yi, pay attention to the direction of your movement and reduce your range of motion."
"Li, you need to pay attention to your change of direction and make the change of direction more sudden."
"Li, you took too long to adjust after catching the ball. You need to speed up the adjustment time."
"Yes, Yi is chasing him like this. Your speed is your advantage. You have to stretch out your arms to interfere with him."
"Speed up, speed up, you have to quickly squeeze away the teammates who provide pick-and-roll for Li, yes, that's it, keep it tight."
...
Half an hour passed and the training was finally over.
"Li, Yi, come here. These are some of the problems I discovered just now through your training. Some of them I gave some solutions through my just observations, and some still require me to go back and carefully study the training videos you just had. , before you can draw a conclusion, you should first look at these issues."
After saying that, Mike handed over the questions to the two of them and turned around to analyze the video of the two of them just now.
...
"Li, Yi, this time, you two will switch. Yi will run, and Li will chase and defend from behind." Mike handed over the task and walked to the side and sat down.
"Yi, you have to speed up. You have to think that there is a bad wolf chasing you that has been hungry for three days. If you run slower, you will be eaten. Imagine that the bad wolf hasn't brushed its teeth for many years. of."
Yi Jianlian was stimulated when he heard that he didn't want to brush his teeth, and his speed suddenly increased to a new level.
Li Tian saw Yi Jianlian's sudden increase in speed from behind and did not increase his speed in a hurry. Yi Jianlian caught the ball and hit it directly.
"Li, what's wrong with you? Are you thinking of some attractive beauty? You actually let Yi get away so much. Stop and run over there five times before Yi comes over."
Li Tian had no choice but to go for a run and thought to himself, "Ah Lian, are you on drugs? Even if you are on drugs, remember to remind me."
"Yi, you did a great job getting rid of Li just now. You have to maintain this speed, and at the same time, you have to pay attention to the force you use to change direction, otherwise you will end up in a wheelchair earlier."
Yi Jianlian was frightened when he heard that he was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Yi, you need to change the way you change directions and exert force. Here are some videos. Remember to watch them a few times to improve your way of exerting force."
