Chapter 607: 6-person special training group
Every September, basketball training camps across the United States will be very lively.
There are so many venues for professional players to train in this country, and of course, there is not enough venue alone. In the United States, many skilled training experts will receive a lot of money paid by players.
Fitness experts Ganner Peterson, basketball technical trainers Drew Hanlun and Edan Laven, shooting coach Mike BenPosey and ball possession expert Johnny Stephenson.
These hot trainers in the United States are elites in various fields. The training halls they are usually visited by several NBA stars.
But this year, the situation is a little different. All these famous trainers "disappeared". Instead of waiting for NBA players to come to their training hall, they were "packed" by Anjie at a very considerable price to bring them to Portland.
Angel, Aldridge, Lillard, Iguodala, Morris and Westbrook, who was trying out with injuries, raised money together and invited these well-known training experts from all over the United States to serve as personal coaches for several of them.
Faced with these brilliant names and lots of green US dollars, these coaches led their team to Portland.
An Jie drove his RX-7 to a mountain where his mobile phone could not even receive a signal. Apart from the sparse houses, the most massive building on this building is the training ground in front of An Jie.
"Hey, you're finally here. How about it, it's good? You know, it took us a lot of time to do this place." Ganner Peterson heard the sound of the rx-7 rotor engine early, so he waited here in advance.
"It's a good place, Peterson, so he didn't even have a cell phone signal!" An Jie took out his cell phone helplessly. Now this cell phone is no different from a brick in An Jie's hands.
"Don't worry, there is a wireless network in the facility. During rest, you can contact the outside world."
With Ganner Peterson on these things, Anjie doesn't have to worry too much. As early as 1994, Ganner Peterson was favored by NBA players. Many NBA stars' training clothes were hung on the wall of the Pitterson training hall, and of course Anjie's training vest was also included.
This guy keeps in touch with hundreds of athletes, including big names like Anthony and Beckham. At the same time, he will also provide fitness plans for many movie celebrities.
This guy can be said to have coexistence of strength and experience, so he has also become the general planner of the players' special training this summer.
Not long after, all the players participating in this training were all here. Peterson first led everyone to familiarize themselves with the environment of the training hall, the basketball court, the clean and tidy room, the nutritional restaurant, the swimming pool, the yoga room, the physiotherapy room... everything, this facility located on the top of the mountain is available.
Afterwards, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement on the contract. All their training plans must not be made public and completely closed. Even if others want to join the franchise midway, they must obtain special permission.
"It's so cool, just like a fucking government agent participating in a top-secret mission." Morris smiled and handed over the contract.
"I think when the training officially begins, you won't think it's all cool." Peterson looked at everyone with a smile. He is very famous, but his training is also famous for being strict!
This night, everyone spent a relaxing night on this quiet hill. Several young people of similar age always had endless topics to talk about. Morris and Westbrook also threatened that they would steal the O'Brien Cup next season.
The Trail Blazers’ Axis 4 is not to be outdone, so they drank two more drinks. Of course, in Peterson’s territory, only juice is provided.
I slept comfortably all night in the tired summer day, but the next morning, everyone experienced the power of the training camp.
When the genius was dawn, Peterson woke up the millionaires. You know, the summer sun came out very early, and God knows what time it is now.
Dragging his hazy eyes, the six people, led by Ganner Peterson and their assistants, began their first training program - mountain climbing.
"Sports, guys, if your physical fitness is not up to standard, you will not be able to hold on until the end of the training. Of course, if there is a physical problem, you will not be able to perform 100% on the basketball court. You are all the backbone of the team. When you encounter a tough battle, the head coach asks you to play 40 minutes of balls. So physical fitness is the first step we need to take." After the explanation, Peterson blew the whistle in his mouth and led the six NBA superstars to start jogging on the winding mountain road.
In order to prevent the six people from being damaged, Peterson carefully calculated the route and time of their running.
Although it was strictly controlled, after a trip, the short sleeves on the six people were still wet.
Morris could no longer say "this is cool". After running, "Damanniu" collapsed on the lawn, like a drunken vagabond.
At 11:30 after lunch, the six people began to play in two groups. Of course, if they were just a 3-on-3 game, it would not help the improvement of these people.
In order to improve the players' shortcomings, the trainers have set a lot of conditions for the players.
For example, if Lillard wants to score, he must use a breakthrough to attack. Because Lillard's slightly weak finishing ability at the basket is where the experts plan to improve for him in this training.
For example, Morris, this tough guy with rough skills must score in the form of dunks. If Morris's skills on the offensive end can be improved, he will no longer be as simple as a defensive vanguard.
As for An Jie, this guy's skills are relatively well-formed and there is no big weakness. Because An Jie himself refused to develop a three-pointer, the trainers could only pick the bones in the eggs and continue to escalate An Jie's ball protection ability.
In this year's finals, it was precisely because of Anjie's several steals that the Heat survived several times. Although Anjie's ball protection ability is already very top-notch, when facing a strong opponent like James, his ball protection still has room to improve.
Nowadays, Anjie is not a boy who wants to prove himself. He is now the well-deserved NBA champion. On the road to defending the title, Anjie is most lacking in strong opponents.
Now, he cannot be satisfied with being at the top level in front of ordinary people. When facing strong enemies, An Jie cannot let himself have too obvious weaknesses.
The road to defending the title will always be harder than when you first won the championship, because your opponent has studied you thoroughly. Only by constantly improving yourself can you not be afraid of your opponent's research.
Under such requirements, the 3-on-3 training of 6 people can be described as a terrible sight. So the afternoon training became a special 1-on-1 special training.
The purpose of special training is very simple, to fill your shortcomings. Under the guidance of professional trainers, these three players who are already very outstanding will definitely make great progress.
After dinner, you will have a rest and the training will continue. Basic shooting training is essential, and this is also a retention event that cannot be broken every day.
But what made Peterson very pleased was that the players did not complain about the high-intensity hard training.
This is the benefit of training several stars together. This group of excellent guys makes the training full of competition.
"Damn, An. You have already won six in a row!? Well, then I have to win six in a row!"
Such voices will always fill the training ground. When a person wants to be lazy, he will dispel the idea of being lazy when he sees another person who is improving around him.
These six people train together not only to cooperate, but also to compete. Benefits of healthy competition are beneficial to these guys who are eager to improve.
The next day, Peterson's training plan changed the players' tastes. In the morning, it was no longer a winding mountain running that gave Morris a headache, but fitness equipment and swimming pool training.
Of course, Westbrook's training volume is not that large. After all, this guy's injury in the playoffs cannot support him in completing such a strong training.
In this way, the six people achieved the improvement they hoped to see through tireless efforts during the 16-day training.
On the day the training camp ended, Catherine was waiting outside the training hall. Her husband had to go out for half a month, and no wife could stand it if she changed her husband.
But when Anjie walked out of the training hall and hugged Catherine, the group of "malintention" guys behind him naturally followed suit.
I hope that the 6-man team with harmonious relationships on the spot can achieve better breakthroughs next season.
Of course, in the past half month after Anjie closed the special training, the NBA alliance has also undergone many changes.
For example, the "Little Shark" Bynum, who had been decadent for the 76ers, joined the Cavaliers in an attempt to rebuild Cleveland's glory with Irving.
For example, the unruly singles maniac Nick Yang chose to join the Lakers. I wonder what kind of sparks he will create with Kobe.
The most important thing among them is the super big deal between the Celtics and the Nets. The Celtics did not hesitate to send Garnett and Pierce to the Nets, and the Nets also exchanged almost half of the team for these two veterans who had already begun to decline.
Mikhail Prokorov, a rich Russian boss of the Nets, spent a lot of money, hoping to make the Nets another quick championship team. Unfortunately, veteran Jason Terry, who was "flirting with Anjie", was also involved in the trade and forced to join the Nets. It seems that the vacancy left by Fischer's retirement must be filled with others.
After leaving the training camp for a day, Angel immediately contacted Nell Orsey and asked about the operation plan of the Trail Blazers this summer.
With the special training over, the preparations for the Trail Blazers in the new season have reached the stage where they must be executed.
Chapter completed!
