Chapter 251 250. The so-called details

After chatting for a while, Felton and Rondo also began to warm up in preparation for the upcoming training camp.

At 9:, Jordan, Grove, Engelland and Carlisle arrived at the training ground. They were not surprised to see the three young men already training. Zhang Yang and Rondo were both training maniacs who were like court rats. Although Felton was not as paranoid as the other two, he was also an ambitious captain of the championship team.

Instead, Jordan hoped that one of the three would get stuck in traffic so that he could show off his power as a boss and scold him severely for being late for his training camp.

But unfortunately, except for the most prosperous commercial area in the Balancan district, traffic jams rarely occur in other places in Charlotte.

Having spent a month together last year, Zhang Yang, Felton and Grove were already very familiar with each other. A simple "Hi" was enough to greet each other. Rondo was very cold towards people he didn't know. It didn't take Grove a few seconds to greet Rondo. After the greeting, he went to prepare for training with England, such as calling the necessary number of trainers to work overtime.

After the four left, Rondo showed anticipation.

Thanks to his efforts in his rookie year, he finally got the opportunity to participate in the "Jordan Training Camp".

Felton: "Rajon, you don't need to be so excited. You will know how boring it is when the training camp starts. Your training should be the same as ours last year."

Rondo rolled his eyes at Felton and ignored the boss who was pouring cold water on him.

For him, it is a very happy thing to be noticed by Jordan and be listed as a genius like Zhang Yang and Felton.

The fat boss once again felt the humiliation of being a boss, but he was already used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong. As the little brother said: When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer.

This is the responsibility that the boss should bear.

Felton asked Zhang Yang: "There should be some changes in our training this year, right? It's really exciting."

Rondo immediately turned around and looked at the boss: Aren’t you excited too?
Zhang Yang: "I think our training may become more boring and uninteresting."

Rondo secretly gave a thumbs up: Brother Zhang San, you’re good at pouring cold water!
Felton: "Impossible? Is it more boring than adjusting my technical moves and playing habits last year?"

Felton didn't believe it, but when Grove came to the training ground at 10 o'clock in the morning with a data sheet and told him the content of the first day's work, Felton became dispirited.

England has a job this season that can be said to be important or redundant - recording the technical characteristics and playing habits of each player. Regardless of whether it is a technique that is used frequently or a technique that is used less frequently or a basic skill, all are recorded in a book.

The data sheet that Grove was holding was very detailed about the techniques and basic skills that Zhang Yang and Felton, who had the England record, would learn.

Rondo was arranged to continue practicing free throws and it would be his turn in the afternoon.

Grove first asked Felton to demonstrate the training process according to each technique and basic skill recorded on the data sheet.

Felton groaned at the arrangement and asked, "Didn't we do this last year, Tim?"

Grove: "Raymond, last year we just adjusted our technical movements and habits, this year we are analyzing the details of the technology."

Felton: "Is there a difference? Is it necessary? I think I've practiced well enough and want to learn new techniques!"

Felton said this and looked at Zhang Yang, and Grove also looked at Zhang Yang.

Grove has served so many NBA superstars and has a good eye. He knows that in this team, only two people can control Felton, the other one is Jordan. Others, even the former legendary coach Bickerstaff and the current head coach Carlisle, cannot control him.

Zhang Yang said, "Boss, technology needs to be constantly improved and revised. After such a long season, you may not have noticed that your training and technology habits are changing... Do you know why they are changing?"

At first, the fat boss was dissatisfied with the little brother's empty answer, but he was diverted by the last question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe it's because the opponents are different. We need to make detailed adjustments in each game according to the defensive characteristics of each opponent?"

Zhang Yang: "Anything else?"

Felton continued to think and said, "Time. I grew to 211 pounds (96 kilograms) last season. My strength is stronger than my rookie year. My habits when doing technical movements are also changing... and injuries. I sprained my foot once because of the large amplitude of the step-back movement. Later, you asked me to learn to prepare for the force... right, Jack?"

Zhang Yang: "Yes, so we'd better adjust the technical movements and training content according to the actual situation of the previous season every offseason to adapt to the changes in the game environment, the changes in age, and the wear and tear of the body. This is a continuous process. If you don't adapt and adjust well to these changes, you may be eliminated early, such as one of your draft templates - Steve Francis.

But if you adapt well, you may be able to maintain a long peak period, such as your idols Kidd and Payton. Before Payton went to the Lakers, he was still an All-Star at the age of 35, and Kidd was still one of the two best point guards at the age of 34. "

Felton: "35 years old, peak period! I practice! But..."

Zhang Yang: "What's wrong?"

Felton: "Jack, didn't Confucius say anything about this situation?"

Zhang Yang was speechless for two seconds, then said, "Reviewing the old to learn new things, you can be a teacher."

Felton: "Reviewing old knowledge and gaining new insights from it, can you become a teacher? If I can do this, after I retire in the future, can I also become an excellent trainer like Thiem?"

Zhang Yang: "Well, it's possible. How did you suddenly think of this?"

Felton: "The moment I lifted the O'Brien Cup, I never wanted to leave the world of basketball, but I will retire eventually. When I was traveling a few days ago, I often thought about what I would do after retirement. Now I know, I want to be a trainer!"

Zhang Yang: “That’s a good goal, but you have to master more techniques.”

Felton: "Of course I know, even though I'm not as talented as you, I don't learn as fast as you, and I don't work as hard as you...Fake, Jack, how come you are so outstanding?"

Grove: ???

Rondo, who was at the next court, couldn't stand it any longer. He was taking two detours in three sentences? What was he talking about?

He yelled at Felton, "Boss, show us the training content quickly! I'm still waiting!"

Felton looked at Rondo aggrievedly. Why was he so fierce... But he seemed to have delayed the training camp time. This topic should be discussed after work.

Stop chatting and get to work!
Grove: The situation within the Bobcats is really... interesting! The fat boss is really a reasonable boss...

But at least Felton's arrogance was under control, which is a good thing, let's get to work!
With a goal, there is motivation. Facing the camera set up by Grove, Felton successfully completed the demonstration of technical and basic skills training process.

After the demonstration, Felton's work for the morning was over and he could go home, but he did not leave. Instead, he went to an empty court nearby to practice catching the ball and shooting in the corner.

It was Zhang Yang's turn to present the training content. Zhang Yang listened to the names read out by Grove and presented them one by one.

His demonstration time was nearly twice as long as Felton's. In terms of basic skills and technical reserves, he had much richer ones than Felton, not including what he had learned in the training that just ended.

After Zhang Yang finished his demonstration, Grove exclaimed: "Jack, you are so good that you don't look like a 19-year-old player at all. Even if you don't learn any new techniques and only practice these, you will definitely be one of the top stars in the league in a few years!"

Zhang Yang took the initiative to recall last night's experience and nodded in response, "I know."

Felton and Rondo, who were eavesdropping on the side, both threw the ball onto the backboard.

My little brother (third brother) is really...confident!

Seeing Grove speechless, Zhang Yang felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject: "When I heard you read out the names and demonstrated the training content just now, I found that I had forgotten when I learned many details, and I haven't practiced them for a long time."

Grove's thoughts were also pulled back, and he said, "Those should be the techniques and basic skills you developed when you first started playing basketball. There are many technical details of basketball that do not need to be improved after you have practiced them to a certain level, and they do not affect your playing, so you will not practice them anymore.

But these earliest things you practice are actually the foundation for building your basketball skills, and this needs to be taken seriously.

Because you haven't practiced specifically for a long time, maybe you have developed some bad habits in the game, or it may be that you didn't practice properly at the beginning. It didn't have much impact on your early playing time, but when you need to become a greater player, these details will hold you back.

It is difficult to improve these aspects, and even difficult to discover these problems. Few people pay attention to this, and this is the huge difference between great players and ordinary players.

But this is what you have to do. As your playing experience improves, you will find that the areas you need to pay more attention to and strengthen are actually the most detailed areas. "

Details?
Zhang Yang thought of Kobe after his retirement. He liked to analyze the technical details of a certain player and then make them public... His behavior was so bad that it is difficult to describe in words.

Seeing Zhang Yang lost in thought, Grove was in a good mood.

It is such a blessing to work with such players who can understand what people say. For example, in the past two weeks, I worked with Hamblen to help Kobe improve his fadeaway jump shot. The process was quite pleasant and very fulfilling.

But training with the No. 5 center from high school on the South Coast in May was a torture. He refused to listen to anything I said.

At the beginning, he maintained his professionalism and taught patiently. Later, he became sloppy. If the opponent wanted to learn how to use a strong chisel, he would teach them how to use a strong chisel. If the opponent wanted to show off, he would just follow suit and laugh...

It is very happy and pleasant to work for the Bobcats. Bad boy Jack is very mature. Apart from the fact that he sometimes wants to hit people, there is nothing wrong with him.

There is Felton, who has the arrogant personality, and the bad boy Jack, who can be controlled. He is not familiar with the little Kidd yet, but he knows from Englander and Carlisle that apart from being a little cold and arrogant, he doesn't have any bad habits.

The key is that all three of them are very talented! It’s rewarding to teach them!

...

On the first day of the training camp, the work was simple, just demonstrate the training content once.

At 10 p.m., after Rondo spent 4 minutes demonstrating the training, Grove left work and went to Jordan's house to complete the training plan for the next four weeks.

On the second day, July 7, the intensity of training increased significantly.

The amount of daily training content improvement is not large, the main thing is to practice! Change, learn, and practice until the body remembers how to practice.

The adjustment progress of Zhang Yang, Felton and Rondo is completely different.

What Rondo did was roughly equivalent to Felton asking Engelland for help in training on subtraction of playing style after being enlightened by Zhang Yang in the early stage of his rookie season.

Rondo is actually very aware of self-adjustment. When he entered the NBA, he found that many things he could do in college were absolutely impossible for him to do in the NBA. He consciously made subtractions in his playing style, but he still often made mistakes during the game.

Engelland has so much work to do, mainly he has to take care of Zhang Yang, Felton, Gerald Wallace and Okafor. Although Rondo later became the team's key training target, Engelland could not spend time paying attention to Rondo's playing style. The time he spent on Rondo was all on how to help Rondo train free throws and three-pointers.

Now with Grove's guidance, Rondo has finally begun to optimize his playing style. Based on Rondo's actual situation, Grove clearly pointed out which technical abilities of Rondo should be abandoned, which should be strengthened, and which should be developed.

Felton is still optimizing the details of his technical movements.

Zhang Yang has made the most advanced progress and has entered the stage of re-optimizing the underlying technology and basic skills.

In terms of difficulty, Zhang Yang's situation is the most difficult. These basic techniques are mostly small habits that have become instinctive and subconscious small movements. They require extremely strong willpower to overcome instincts... This is even more difficult than overcoming the mental habits of playing basketball in the "previous life" when he first started playing basketball 4 years ago.

Grove said to him, "If you think it's too much trouble, Jack, we can skip this step. These details won't affect your becoming a superstar."

Zhang Yang knew that this was a provocation, but he chose to be provoked and face the challenge!

He knew that changing those instinctive bad habits, perfecting the details that he had not practiced well enough when he first started practicing, and reconstructing the basic movements that had become "outdated" as his body grew, would make his playing movements more concise.

Duncan’s example is there, simplicity means efficiency!

Jordan's playing style is also clean, simple and efficient.

Zhang Yang spent the first day in pain and torture. His training seemed much simpler than Rondo and Felton's, but only he knew the difficulty.

At 4 p.m., the first day of the two-hour training camp work ended. Grove and Englander were about to go out for a drink after get off work when they were stopped by Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang: "Tim, Chip, help me develop new technology!"

Englander: "Whose videos did you watch to learn his skills?"

Grove: Huh?
Zhang Yang: "I watched Nash's video last night and learned three moves. I've almost mastered them. I need you to help me develop a training plan."

Grove: ???
