【Chapter 1016】 Super Sparring Partner (Subscription Requested!)
After breakfast in the cafeteria of the Four Seasons Hotel in the morning, the Chinese men's basketball team left the hotel under the guidance of Gong, boarded the bus prepared by the hotel, and went to the Staples Arena.
If you rely on the training funds of the Huaxia men's basketball team alone, you naturally can't live in the Four Seasons Hotel, and enjoy all kinds of food cooked by the hotel with organic ingredients from the 'Jinghu Group', but Xiao Feng pays for it is another matter. Therefore, this time, the training of the Chinese men's basketball team in the United States will be quite luxurious, and there is no need to worry about all kinds of pressure from the media and public opinion.
The usual schedule of the Staples Arena is very dense, but the secondary hall is basically the training ground of the Lakers and Clippers, and now that the NBA has entered the offseason, it was also requisitioned by Xiao Feng in advance.
For the young players of the Chinese men's basketball team, Staples is more like a basketball mecca in their minds, so when they see the tall and majestic arena, many players can't help but lie on the car window and look at it.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the Lakers' three-game winning streak and the near-perfect performance of the 'OK' combination gave him countless fans in China. Zhou Qi and others, who are now starting to play in the national team, were only about ten years old at that time, and they were out-and-out Lakers fans.
Seeing the excited performance of the young players, Coach Gong also nodded secretly, if the players knew who was training with them next, I am afraid that their jaws would drop in surprise, right?
As soon as the bus stopped in the parking lot, the Lakers' assistant coach Josh had already greeted him, who was the main person in charge of receiving the Chinese men's basketball team's training camp, and had already communicated with Coach Gong before.
"Josh, it's been a long time since I've seen my old friend!" Gong Gui smiled and hugged Josh and greeted each other!
Coach Gong has traveled to the United States for a period of time, learning advanced basketball experience and theories of the NBA and American college leagues, and has a lot of intersections with Josh. Now, Josh is the head of the trainer for the Lakers' day-to-day workout. Naturally, I became the person in charge of reception.
"Gong, it's my honor to be able to work together again!" Josh was naturally impressed by the extremely hard work and extremely high basketball IQ of Coach Gong, besides, he was a compatriot of the boss. How can you do it without enthusiasm?
Seeing that Director Gong and the person in charge of reception met, the team members who got off the bus behind were both surprised and felt a little relieved, after all, in a foreign country, nervousness is always everywhere.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Josh led the Chinese men's basketball team into the training hall, where the security facilities are quite complete to avoid the prying eyes of reporters.
The Chinese men's basketball team that came to the United States this time is all the members who won the Asian Championships last year, as well as two alternative players, plus Xiao Feng. Three players will not be selected for the 15-man squad at the Olympic entry deadline. It's cruel to say.
However, this is the case with competitive sports, and the players are already used to this kind of competition, and everyone wants to win the approval of the head coach with their performances and get on the bus to the Rio Olympics.
After changing into training clothes in the stadium and jogging a few laps of the event, the team members began to start today's warm-up exercise in the center of the field, 'Five Fowl Play'!
Since Xiao Feng decided to join the Chinese men's basketball team. It has become a consensus to introduce the 'five bird operas' into the daily training of the national team. After all, both the Lakers and Newcastle United are promoting this gymnastics, and it has achieved good results.
This set of 'Five Fowl Opera' is not too magical, even if it has a lot more actions than the 'Five Fowl Opera' on the market, but it is the breathing method taught by Xiao Feng that really plays a decisive role. The combination of the two can greatly improve the physical fitness, physical fitness and other data of the players, and lay a better foundation for the performance on the field.
From after the All-Star Game. This set of 'five bird plays' has become a must for the Chinese men's basketball team, and it has also made some subtle changes in the players' bodies.
The players who have tasted the sweetness do not need to be supervised at all, except for serious practice during training. I usually practice hard when I have time, and I don't dare to slack off.
For players engaged in competitive sports, the factor that can enhance their strength has always been their fanatical pursuit, after all, victory is firmly imprinted in their bones.
Otherwise, there would not be so many 'excitement, excitement, scandal, scandal' in the world, and in addition to the infinite pursuit of the most money, the strong desire for victory is also an important inducement.
Nowadays, having a training method that can improve your competition without the side effects and dangerous consequences is naturally very popular.
Some players with active brains can also imagine that the reason why Xiao Feng's two teams were able to achieve such amazing results may be inseparable from this set of 'five bird plays' and breathing methods.
Of course, this speculation also makes the players have more hope for themselves and the future of the team, and the morale is high every day in training.
Although there is a lot of speculation about the training methods of Newcastle United and the Lakers, they will not realize that the 'Five Bird Play' will bring such a huge effect, after all, everyone who has been exposed to the 'Five Bird Play' and the breathing method has signed an unusually strict confidentiality agreement, and the probability of leaking secrets is very small.
After all, after the leak, it will encounter a high claim from the 'Jinghu Group', and the huge cost of breach of contract makes everyone choose to keep it confidential, and the outside world is also in the clouds.
…………
When the Chinese men's basketball team finished the warm-up, the people in the training hall made their eyes widen, Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant both came, and many young players were quite excited to see them.
After all, in the past season, Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant formed the 'Los Angeles Golden Twins', both achieved the MVP Grand Slam, and shared the All-Star Game MVP, regular season MVP and Finals MVP, which is also the only time in NBA history that this has happened.
In addition, Xiao Feng won the two titles of assist king and steal king, and Kobe's average of 40+ points per game made him the third scoring champion, both in individual honor and collective results, achieving a bumper harvest.
As a Chinese, Xiao Feng joined the NBA after nearly 30 years, and it is natural that such outstanding results make Chinese people proud, and it is reasonable for many young people to regard him as an idol.
As for Kobe, for Chinese fans and basketball players under the age of 30, he is a spiritual symbol, and his number of fans in China far exceeds the official media's predictions. Arguably. Many young players at the scene grew up watching Kobe Bryant's games, even if they clinked glasses with their idols at the banquet last night, and now they see Kobe Bryant wearing training clothes and preparing to join the training, everyone's excitement can be imagined.
When Director Gong saw this scene, he didn't stop it, and watched with a smile on the side. He hopes that the players will maintain a good attitude and high morale in the training camp, and the appearance of Kobe Bryant can play a good role.
In the next month or so, the most important task of the Chinese men's basketball team is to cultivate the tacit understanding between Xiao Feng and the team, after all, this is the most critical link to improve the strength of the team.
But in order to limit Xiao Feng's overly strong strength, it is very necessary to add a top defender to defend in the confrontation training. In the entire international basketball world, there are only a few people who can not fall behind in one-on-one confrontations, and it is not easy for them to become the sparring partners of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng is not only Kobe's teammate, but also Kobe's boss. Therefore, he is willing to give up his vacation time to participate in the training camp of the Chinese men's basketball team.
After the confrontation training began, Xiao Feng led the main lineup to compete with the main lineup led by Kobe, and the two of them tried not to use their super scoring ability as much as possible, and used more organization to connect the whole team.
Xiao Feng is the NBA's new assist king, and his ability to lead the team has been perfectly reflected, although he is not familiar with the main lineup, but he is also playing well; People tend to be fooled by his formidable scoring ability, but in fact he is not bad at playmaking. Career average of 4 assists per game. 7, the highest assist on the spot 17, is the best proof.
Kobe Bryant's organizational ability is naturally not too good in the NBA, but it is a bit high in the Chinese men's basketball team, so his performance is easy!
Before participating in the training camp, Xiao Feng had already observed the running habits, shooting characteristics and personal ability of each member of the national team through the game video. I have already memorized many details.
After cultivating the 'Qi Induction Technique', Xiao Feng's memory and logical ability have been greatly improved, which allows him to know himself and his opponent on the basketball court, and his performance is naturally amazing. Even in the face of Kobe's urgent defense, Xiao Feng still calmly mobilized the ability of the main lineup. Lead the team to maintain a sufficient advantage in the confrontation.
Standing on the sidelines, the smile on Director Gong's face never broke, and Xiao Feng could be said to have brought him a huge surprise.
Before that, he had enough psychological preparation, and planned to spend half a month to let Xiao Feng get familiar with and adapt to the characteristics of other team members. Although Xiao Feng has killed all sides in the NBA, it takes time and process to integrate into an unfamiliar team.
But what Director Gong never expected was that Xiao Feng showed amazing ability on the first day of the training camp, like a veteran player who had been in the team for several years.
With Xiao Feng, the weak point of the national team in the point guard position immediately became the strongest point, which also made Coach Gong and other coaches have more expectations for the team's prospects in the Olympic Games.
…………
"Xiao Feng, today's performance is very good!" After two quarters of confrontation training, entering the tactical explanation stage, Director Gong patted Xiao Feng's shoulder fiercely.
As a veteran coach who has been engaged in basketball for more than 40 years, Director Gong naturally knows very well that Xiao Feng's performance just now has completely surpassed the cognition of many industry insiders, and he himself can't figure out how Xiao Feng did it?
Although I can't figure it out, this doesn't prevent the old man from having a good enough mood!
"Everyone's ability is very good, but there is a lack of opportunities and platforms to play!" Xiao Feng said while wiping his sweat: "In the next month, many players will be trained to make sure that they are confident in shooting at critical moments, so that everyone can adapt to this rhythm!"
Xiao Feng served as the captain after entering the national team, which was not opposed by the players, after all, Xiao Feng's performance in the NBA was enough to compete. In addition, Xiao Feng's aura outside the court also adds a lot of points to him, and even if the players have some objections, they will not show it publicly.
At this point, Xiao Feng was much luckier than Yao Da, in order to help Yao Da Da take the position, the national team and even the entire Basketball Association were making a big move, and it also became the news headlines at that time.
Xiao Feng won the unanimous recognition of all the players and coaches with his own aura and outstanding performance in the first training session, which laid a good foundation for the next team run-in.
…………
In the following time, the Chinese men's basketball team trained in the Staples assistant hall, and Kobe Bryant and other Lakers players came to participate in the confrontation training from time to time, which also gave the team's young people a lot of motivation and improvement, and this little progress and change was seen by the coaching staff.
At the beginning, Xiao Feng proposed to train in the United States, but the national team and the Basketball Association were still a little hesitant, after all, it took a lot of money to train in the United States.
The sponsorship of 'Jinghu Dairy' made the training camp in the United States a small thing, and the addition of the Lakers and even the UCLA basketball team made the whole training process more fulfilling and valuable.
Of course, what makes the coaching staff most satisfied is Xiao Feng's speed of integration into the team, he has mastered the characteristics of all the players on the field with almost no effort, and can give full play to the individual abilities of his teammates 120%.
I heard that Xiao Feng's family are all members of the 'Mensa Club', is it possible that people with high IQs are doing everything so amazingly?
When the calendar turned over the American National Day, the Chinese men's basketball team has initially formed a tactical style of play with Xiao Feng as the core, and he has also become the most indispensable soul of the team.
Xiao Feng can rely on his abundant physical strength to play 40 minutes in international matches, which will play a decisive role in the competitiveness of the entire team on the field. In the past month, the coaching staff has experimented with various formation changes, and Xiao Feng has conducted a lot of drills with different teammates.
Now, almost a month before the opening of the Rio Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team needs to play a series of games in the open warm-up match to run in the team.
Of course, Xiao Feng, as the team's secret weapon, will naturally not go all out, and the purpose of the warm-up game is more to keep the other players in shape and find the feeling of an official game.
In the next half month, the Chinese men's basketball team will play against four national teams, including Lithuania, Congo, Spain and Italy, in Los Angeles, and these games will also be the best opportunity for the outside world to observe the Chinese men's basketball team.
After the warm-up game, the Chinese men's basketball team will leave for Brazil to conduct adaptive training in Rio, after all, the current climate there is completely different from the northern hemisphere!
No one knows that the Chinese men's basketball team has undergone a radical change in just one month! )
PS: PS: Have a great weekend folks!
