Tony Allen put on his apron, turned on the stove, and started his day as a full-time nanny.

He still hasn't figured out why it was the Detroit Pistons who made it to the Finals.

Of course, he couldn't figure out why he agreed to Wayne's bet to cook breakfast for three days.

Sure enough, impulse is the devil.

Amidst the sound of fried eggs sizzling, Wayne, who had just woken up, walked down from the second floor.

"Hey, morning Tony."

"Can't you be early..." Teacher Tony muttered quietly.

In order to allow Wayne and Tony Allen to train with peace of mind, Schwartz threw them into a two-story villa on the outskirts of Stillwater City.

It's only ten minutes away from the rented basketball gym, and the surrounding area is quiet and undisturbed.

The most important thing is - there is nothing to entertain you.

It takes an hour to drive into the city from here. Wayne and Tony don't have a car yet, so they basically can't stay away from this circle.

As a result, all Wayne and Tony Allen can do every day is to concentrate on training for trials.

For Wayne and Tony, Schwartz really spent a lot of money.

This small villa is rented, the basketball gym is rented, the trainer is hired, and Schwartz pays for the trainer's residence.

This does not include daily expenses such as eating, drinking and eating.

Wayne couldn't help but think that he and Tony were like this, how luxurious the No. 1 pick candidate would be.

In fact, Okafor's treatment is similar to that of Wayne and others, and the basic market conditions are the same.

Speaking of which, Wayne was not taken to any business activities by Schwartz during this period.

It stands to reason that the share of commercial activities is the bulk of the broker's income.

Under normal circumstances, agents take a commission on players' wages between 3% and 5%, while their commission on commercial income can reach 12% to 15%.

Taking Wayne to participate in various business activities is the fastest way for Schwartz to make back his money.

But he didn't do that, and even the most basic sneaker contract was left after the draft.

Not only was he not busy making money, he also told Wayne and Tony more than once: "Don't think about anything else during this period and concentrate on training."

Well, from this point it is not difficult to see that Schwartz is not a person who only pays attention to immediate interests.

What he values ​​more is long-term development and profits.

If he takes Wayne to participate in business activities every three days, he will make money, but Wayne will never be happy.

After eating Tony's "reluctant little breakfast", the brothers headed towards the basketball gym.

After passing through a tree-lined path, a very old-looking gymnasium came into view.

When Wayne saw this gym for the first time, he was worried about the level of hardware inside.

However, it turns out that he was overly worried.

Although the appearance is relatively old, it is fully functional inside.

All kinds of instruments and equipment are available.

It's definitely not comparable to NBA-level hardware facilities, but for personal training in the summer, it's pretty good.

Walking into the training hall, the trainers are already in place.

Schwartz prepared a 20-person training team for Wayne and Tony.

We have everything from coaches to nutritionists to meet Wayne and Tony's completely different training programs.

As soon as Wayne entered the training hall, a short, unattractive man ran up to Wayne: "Wei, do you feel any discomfort?"

"No, I feel fine, Mike." Wayne smiled and nodded.

"That's good. During the weight gain period, if you have any physical discomfort, please tell me. Don't hold on." The short man smiled with satisfaction, "Then, let's start today's training."

A man named Mike patted Wayne on the back and sent him into the gym.

Mike Mancias, the trainer mainly responsible for Wayne's weight gain plan.

He is the apprentice of the gold medal physical trainer Grover. He graduated from college in 2000 and became Grover's intern assistant in 2001.

Grover can be said to be one of the most well-known trainers in the NBA. His clients include superstars such as Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Barkley. He is mainly responsible for physical training.

In 2001, Michael Jordan was preparing for his comeback, so he hired his regular trainer Grover again and actively resumed training.

Mancias also entered the industry at that time and was fortunate to work with the "God of Basketball" as an intern assistant.

Mancias performed extremely well and made a name for himself.

So when selecting a trainer this year, Wayne specifically chose Mancias.

Of course, Wayne had no idea that Mancias' resume was so impressive.

The reason why he chose Mancias was because in Wayne's previous life, Mancias was James' official trainer!

Just look at James' body and you'll know that Mancias is pretty good.

Of course, Lao Zhan has very good physical talent. Even without Mancias, he will be one of the most physically fit people in the league.

But to be able to maintain it for so many years without major injuries, and to have no serious decline in physical fitness after thirty years old, it is impossible to say that the trainer has no contribution at all.

Wayne is a weak link physically, so he naturally needs a great trainer to take care of him.

In the original history, Mancias would not be recruited by Mousse until 2005.

Therefore, Wayne decided to strike first.

After he was selected and received his salary, the first thing he did was to recruit Mancias to be his personal trainer and protect him.

That's right, Wayne didn't want to squander it after receiving his salary, but wanted to use the money to do something that could improve himself.

Although Wayne has never experienced the feeling of being a millionaire, he is not addicted to short-term enjoyment like a fool.

Wayne has seen too many examples of bankruptcies in the NBA.

In addition to trainers, there are also press officers, investment managers, etc., all of which cost money.

A player's inner circle is very important. A healthy and outstanding inner circle must be created as early as possible in order to have a smooth career.

Players are not gods and cannot be everything in every aspect.

Therefore, whether the inner circle is outstanding or not may directly determine whether a player's career is outstanding.

Of course, although the NBA is more than just playing basketball well, everything is still based on playing basketball well.

If you are not strong enough, anything you say is nonsense.

Therefore, Wayne trains extra hard every day.

This made Teacher Tony very struggling.

Because the duel between him and Wayne basically goes on every day.

Wayne was particularly motivated today. When Teacher Tony collapsed on the floor and lay down for a short rest, Wayne still continued to train while staying healthy.

"Wei is one of the hardest-working players I have ever seen. He is really good." Mancias looked at the sweaty Wayne with great admiration.

This is the first time that Mancias has participated in the training of rookie players. If he can train a rookie into a star... he will definitely feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Well, it's probably because the trial training is about to start." Next to Mancias, a trainer touched his chin.

According to Schwartz's plan, he will pick up Wayne and Tony tomorrow to start a nearly one-month trial training trip around the United States.

There is no doubt that everyone hopes to show their strongest strength during the trial training.

Seeing that Wayne is so motivated, the trainers are full of praise for him.

However......

They all misunderstood!

The reason why Wayne worked so hard to get in was not because the trial training was about to happen, but because he was about to be promoted!

Finally, finally, finally it’s almost time to upgrade!

If he doesn't upgrade, Wayne feels like he has almost forgotten how to use the system.

To be promoted one day before the start of the trial training, Wayne is simply an off-field success.

Speaking of which, last year Wayne was promoted with a "definite win" before the official start of the NCAA competition.

Sure enough, he has a killer physique.

Since the level of training in the past month or so was very high, and there were a lot of ball-handling and three-point training events, the upgrade time was a little earlier than Wayne expected.

The high level of training has also allowed Wayne's attributes to grow rapidly.

Through this period of training, Wayne's three-point shooting increased from 70 to 73, and his mid-range shooting increased from 72 to 76.

Specialized training is much more effective than training while competing.

The most exaggerated thing is ball control. Because Wayne did not relax his ball control training, his ball control increased from 32 to 40.
