Chapter 7 Training: 1000 three points

That night, Wang Yi, who received the training task, almost never sleeps all night.

As long as you complete the training task, your three-point shooting percentage can reach 45%.

This is already a top three-point shooter.

As strong as Curry, his career three-point shooting percentage is less than 45%.

In the entire NBA history, only Warriors head coach Cole has a career shooting percentage of more than 45%.

What do the Lakers lack the most now?

A stable three-point shooter!

Pope, Kuzma, Schroeder, Tucker...

Although they can all shoot three points, their shooting percentage is really eye-catching.

In the small ball era, without a stable outside shooting, the game will be very difficult.

It is conceivable that if I can increase my three-point shooting percentage to 45%, it will definitely be very popular with the Lakers.

Then it will be easy to convert this second short contract into a guarantee contract.

It was four o'clock the next morning, and it was not yet dawn.

Wang Yi had already quietly left Caruso's garage and rushed to the Lakers' training hall.

He didn't close his eyes all night last night and wanted to go to the training hall.

But because it was too late, he could only resist the excitement in his heart.

Walking on the street, I couldn't even get a car.

It's winter now.

Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate and is not too cold in winter.

But the temperature was only eight or nine degrees at 4 a.m.

Wang Yi tightened his collar and looked up at the dim street lights in front of him.

He remembered the famous saying "Have you ever seen the four in the morning in Los Angeles?"

Although it was later pointed out that Kobe only occasionally got up to train at four in the morning.

But this sentence can also be used as a portrayal of Kobe's hard training in his career.

This is also the driving force that has inspired Wang Yi to keep moving forward for twenty years.

He started jogging, just to think it was a warm-up.

After jogging for half an hour, when he arrived at the entrance of the training hall, the hot steam on his head had already evaporated.

Knocking at the security room door, I woke up the dozing security guard:

"Hello, I'm here to train."

The security guard rubbed his sleepy eyes, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a moment before recognizing that this was the Lakers' newly signed ten-day short contract player.

He looked at the dark night sky outside the window.

I looked at the time on the computer again.

Asked in surprise:

"So early?"

Wang Yi nodded: "If you can't sleep, come over to train first."

"Are Orientals working as hard as you?"

The security guard let him go and asked with a smile.

Wang Yi nodded without saying much.

The security guard looked at Wang Yi's back and reminded him:

"The air conditioner has not turned on yet, and we have to wait until eight o'clock."

The team stipulates that there is no game day and training at 10 o'clock in the morning.

But James usually comes at eight o'clock.

So the air conditioner in the training hall is turned on at 8 o'clock.

Wang Yi did not look back and shook his head: "It's okay."

The Lakers’ training hall is called UCLA Health Training Center.

It includes a stadium, two turbo bathrooms, ten ice bathrooms, a power room, and office facilities.

Wang Yi came to the stadium and turned on the lights.

The first thing that caught my eye was the ten golden O'Brien Cups that were "entrusted" high on the opposite wall.

They show people the glorious history of the Lakers.

With these ten championship trophys, training here will also feel full of motivation.

Wang Yi silently said in his heart: One day, I will take back an O'Brien Cup with my own hands.

Then he no longer wasted his time, so he set up a shooting machine.

The task given by the system is to make 1,000 three-pointers.

Considering that physical fitness will decline later, the hit rate will decrease accordingly.

It is estimated that it will take about 3,500 three-pointers.

Soon, he turned on the shooting machine.

Then quickly reach the top of the three-point arc and stand firm.

Take a deep breath.

Accompanied by a gentle buzz.

The shooting machine shot a basketball towards Wang Yi who was at the top of the three-point arc.

Receive the ball in hand.

Wang Yi quickly jumped, raised his arms, shook his wrists, and took action.

Swish!

Three-pointer hit.

At the same time, a data appeared in his mind.

【Task completion: 1/1000】

[Remaining time: 11 hours and 59 minutes]

Starting from the first three-pointer, it is considered the beginning of training.

Countdown to 12 hours.

This is quite intuitive.

Just one second after the shooting, the shooting machine shot another basketball.

Wang Yi received the ball in his hand and shot again.

Swish!

Three-pointer hit again.

He scored ten goals in a row.

Hit seven of them!

The hit rate in training is higher than the hit rate in the game, which is normal for any player.

When Howard was with the Lakers, he scored only more than 60% of his free throws in the game.

However, when free throws in training, it can reach more than 90%.

Wang Yi continued to shoot three points.

When he hit the 20th three-pointer, his right wrist began to hurt again.

He couldn't help but frown.

It's not difficult to hit 1,000 three-pointers.

The difficulty lies in the fact that he has an injury on his right wrist now.

If he practices three points frequently, his right wrist injury will only worsen.

He is not like those players who have obtained a guarantee contract, and he can rest after being injured.

As a short contract player, you must fight hard for your own contract guarantee!
