After the team's confrontation with Li Yang's "good deed" of giving up the dunk to protect Beverley's landing and the tough "evil act" of beating Harris in the locker room, Li Yang used both soft and hard, and all the players of the Clippers finally willingly accepted the fact that Li Yang was the core of the Clippers' offense in the new season.

Including Harris, who was beaten, in fact, Harris is a very ambitious person, bent on getting on the throne and seeking a big contract, but was directly confused by Li Yang by force.

To put it bluntly, not only because Li Yang was valued by the management, but also because of the overall situation and strength shown in the team's training games, the players of the Clippers were convinced.

Now that the situation has become clear, if there is still opposition, then this kind of player with too low emotional intelligence is estimated to not be able to mix in the NBA.

In the locker room, Li Yang is not blindly pretending to be a big man, and he is still acceptable to appropriate pranks and jokes between teammates.

After all, Li Yang wants to lead the Clippers further in the new season, not just be content with being the captain of a broken ship.

Delgado felt that he could be signed by the Clippers because of Li Yang's light, so he regarded Li Yang as his "boss", although Li Yang was much younger than him, but the boss was not ranked by age.

On the third day of the training camp, the training began to move into the second item, physical and strength training.

The rookie players work out separately from the rest of the players.

It was the team's trainer Cassel who trained with four rookies, Li Yang, Alexander, Jawan Evans (sophomore) and Sindarius Thornwell (sophomore).

At this moment, Kassel has changed into a sportswear, looking vigorous and energetic.

According to Kassel, before the start of the preseason, the four, including Li Yang, will spend at least half of their time on physical and strength training.

"Strength training isn't the same as just lifting weights." "Before you entered the NBA, you worked out more or less on your own, but I believe that you definitely didn't do formal and professional strength training. ”

"As for physical training, boys, hehe, I promise, you will. A new understanding of this training will arise. ”

Li Yang suddenly had a sense of foreboding. After running around the course for 40 laps, even Li Yang almost threw up.

At this moment, Li Yang clearly realized his shortcomings, although he was able to defeat Harris, but his endurance was still far behind.

According to Li Yang's understanding, the standard basketball court specification is 28*15 meters, one lap is 86 meters, and 40 laps are about 3.4 kilometers.

Although the distance is not particularly long, the running speed of a high frequency is not something that anyone can bear.

Under Kassel's supervision, the speed of the four people in the running lap has never come down, and once someone shows that they can't keep up, Kassel will immediately come forward to cheer, verbally encourage, threaten, taunt, and even deduct money.

When Li Yang was the first to cross the finish line, Cassel pinched the stopwatch expressionlessly, and then shook his head vigorously.

"I'm so disappointed, you're the most rubbish rookie I've ever had."

Such familiar lines, I think the head teacher of high school said the same thing about us!!

......

Li Yang gulped down the water, he had never felt so thirsty.

Running with a high cadence is much more tiring than playing basketball for the same amount of time.

"Boss, I didn't expect that physical training would be such a large amount of exercise." Alexander was leaning on Li Yang to drink water, secretly complaining.

"Bang Bang!"

Kassel's clapping hands rang out.

"Boys, have you rested enough, it was just a warm-up exercise just now, let's go straight to the topic!"

"Poof...... The water Alexander had just poured into his mouth squirted out.

......

After Kassel brought the four Li Yang to the gym.

"Strength training, in fact, also includes physical training, your muscular endurance and explosive power have not been fully developed, which is also the purpose of my training with you," Kassel said. ”

"The importance of strength is to ensure that you have enough physical strength and endurance to stay on the court all the time, second, to ensure that you do not suffer in physical confrontation, and third, to improve your core strength, fully develop the potential of your body, and better play the technical movements you usually practice on the court!"

"Let's start with the barbell squat, which for a long time was the most important of all training programs, and people called it the "king of strength training". ”

......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Li Yang followed Kassel's request and began to do barbell squats.

Set of 15 with 30 seconds rest between each set for a total of eight sets.

This repeated squat on the shoulders using a barbell and weights mainly exercises the thigh muscles.

The first set of actions, Li Yang completed it easily, soeasy!

The second set of movements, as always, is as smooth as ever, and it is as easy as drinking water and eating.

Li Yang couldn't help but be secretly happy: it seems that the eight groups of actions will end soon.

In the third group of movements, the thighs reacted slightly and began to feel swelling pain.

In the fourth set of movements, the thighs are like fire.

The fifth set of movements, Li Yang gritted his teeth and finished it.

The sixth set of movements...... The thighs are like lead!

The seventh set of movements...... Trembling like an old lady, barely finished.

After the eighth group was completed, Li Yang felt that his third leg was no longer his own.

Even in the haze, Li Yang saw that his fat seemed to turn red and began to burn.

In the firelight, Alexander's grinning expression of pain was also reflected.

This guy's bench press made it to the fifth group.

And this training of physical fitness and strength directly made Li Yang's two attributes slowly improve.

Strength, guaranteed confrontation intensity.

Bounce and create space to shoot.

Li Yang saw the importance of strength training.

In fact, this is easy to explain, the gap between players in Asia and European and American countries is not in technology, but in strength.

For example, if the Chinese men's basketball team only counts the first quarter, it can definitely be regarded as a world-class team.

From the second quarter onwards, things went from bad to worse.

There is also Chinese flyer Su Bingtian, whose speed in the first 60 meters is absolutely world-class, and he can beat Usain Bolt, but not in the next 40 meters.

Why?

Can't hold on!!

Physical fitness, endurance is not good.

But the reason for this is power!

Strength ensures long-lasting !!

Strength Guaranteed Hardness!!

Long-lasting, hardness, are attributes that every man dreams of.

Back to the topic, Li Yang's daily training subjects: tactical explanation, tactical drills, physical training, and basic skills training.

Since training with Kassel, Li Yang has not spent a day without suffering and improvement.

Once upon a time, Li Yang thought that playing basketball was simply playing on the court.

Training is to practice dribbling and shooting.

But now it feels like Li Yang is practicing fighting.

Tactical explanation in the morning, actual combat drill in the afternoon!!

After a week of training, Li Yang has adapted to the rhythm of physical training, and the others are not so lucky.

For this reason, without waiting for Li Yang to be happy for two days, Kassel made it more difficult for him alone, which instantly made him regret it, shouldn't he be so good, isn't it fragrant to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?

I remember when I was in school, there was always such a person who smiled at you and beat you.

For example, the head teacher who is quietly standing at the back door is definitely a demonic existence.

And now......

When Cassel appears with a smile on his face, he is a demonic being.

Li Yang pretended to be scared for the first time, and he didn't act too abruptly, and the other rookies really began to tremble in their legs......

"Don't be nervous, let's play a little more relaxed today... ….”

"Hehe, this bad old man is very bad, believe you big head ghost!!" Everyone rolled their eyes neatly.

......

The first three days were like hell.

Li Yang, who loves basketball, feels that the training time has been so long, but it is so fulfilling, and he really feels his improvement every day.

Especially when it comes to physical and strength training.

Joyful and happy, he grew obsessed with the feeling.

Mentally always on the verge of extreme excitement and collapse, there is no place in the body that is not sour, but it is full of real strength.

This muscle soreness even takes its toll on dribbling and shooting.

A week later, Li Yang had gradually adapted.

Both mentally and physically.

The soreness in the muscles began to fade away, and in its place, the body seemed to have learned to breathe, and the whole world became clear.

The barbell also seems to have become lighter, and even gives him the illusion that now that he is given a fulcrum, he can pry up the entire earth, and gravity is gone.

As the saying goes: the iron is cool for a while, and the iron is always cool. (Of course, iron also needs to be moderate, there is a way: strong dust!! ）

Two weeks later......

Li Yang has fully adapted to Kassel's devil physical training, and his performance is even more like a fish in water, which makes Kassel cry out for perversion.

After just two weeks of devil training, Li Yang not only has a much clearer vision on the court, but also faster than a notch.

But what made him quite depressed was that the calluses on the ten fingers on his hands sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

So much so that sometimes in the evening, when I activate my right hand, I feel pain.
