Chapter 206: Dialing (Sixth Shift)

Due to the speed of physical recovery of the exchange, the stats on his stats panel have not changed.

It seems that this skill can only be felt in training and actual combat.

He drove straight to the team's training gym.

To his surprise, there were already people in the arena.

Pushing in to take a look, it turns out that it is Leonard who is training there alone.

Leonard, who was in his previous life, was selected for the rookie game in his rookie season.

However, because of Tang Tian's relationship, his playing time and status in the Spurs have been compressed, so he has not been able to become Orlando this time.

So when he looked at Leonard in the training hall, Tang Tian was a little embarrassed in his heart.

Since the two entered the Spurs together, Leonard has actually made a good impression on him.

Although he is not good at communicating with people, he trains hard in private and has no bad habits.

Leonard was surprised to see Tang Tian appear, after all, the All-Star had just ended, and Tang Tian ran to the training gym to practice.

"Why are you here?"

This time it was Leonard who asked, and the two of them did hair together a few times, and their relationship improved a lot, and Leonard would also take the initiative to chat with Tang Tian.

"I can't sleep, come and practice."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he explained casually.

Leonard nodded, and then went about to train on his own.

Tang Tian's training program is no different from usual, the difference is that he has increased the amount by about 20% compared to ordinary times.

As a result, after the whole training process, he didn't feel tired, but was more relaxed than usual!

It seems that this Hamilton skill is really used for intangible, but extremely practical!

He finished his practice and rested on the sidelines, then looked to Leonard's side.

Leonard was working on three-point and shooting under the basket, and since Ingeld didn't come, his training program looked a little simple and boring.

After a while, Leonard finished practicing and sat on the sidelines to rest.

"Is Orlando fun?"

Leonard asked, taking a sip of water.

Tang Tian turned his head and saw a hint of yearning in his eyes.

This guy who is silent most of the time is not really mature and calm, it's just that he doesn't easily express his thoughts in front of others.

"It's fun, but that's it, I've heard that next year's game will be in Houston, which is much more lively than Orlando."

Tang Tian said.

Leonard nodded, then smiled helplessly, apparently thinking that he might not have a chance to go.

Tang Tian saw his expression and knew that not going to Orlando this time was a bit of a blow to him.

That's not good news for the Spurs.

Leonard's defensive ability is still important for the Spurs, especially against a heavy forward like James.

After all, Tang Tian's current weight is not as good as James's.

In addition, he was a little embarrassed to rob Leonard of the opportunity, and he decided to give him some tips.

"Do you like Kobe?"

Tang Tian suddenly asked.

"Kobe?"

Leonard thought for a moment and nodded, and from his reaction, it was clear that he didn't like it, but he shouldn't resist it.

Tang Tian saw his reaction and knew that things were easy to do.

"Kehuai, I have a suggestion."

Tang Tian only spoke at this time.

Leonard looked at Tang Tian suspiciously, he had very little contact with other people in the Spurs, and he had more contact with Tang Tian because of doing hair together.

It really counts that Tang Tian should have the best relationship with his Spurs, so when Tang Tian opened his mouth at this time, he was willing to listen.

"What you need to do now, compared to training, I think you should be sure of a shooting hand.

Everyone has their own hand shape, but it's certainly not your current one. ”

Leonard's defense doesn't have to be said, but the offense is unreliable whether it's NCAA or Spurs.

Although the shooting percentage has improved by training, the magnitude is small.

This is also the reason why he has few opportunities with the Spurs, if Tang Tian doesn't come, then Popovich can use Leonard's defense, and he will have to play if he doesn't play.

Now that he has the choice, Popovich naturally won't do that.

"You want me to compare disciplines?"

Leonard is not stupid.

Tang Tian nodded.

"Kobe Bryant's shooting hand is very similar to Michael Jordan, or Kobe Bryant is imitating Jordan.

But whether it is Kobe Bryant or Jordan, their shooting hands have a characteristic, they are all right-handed and one-handed shoulder shots.

It is not easy to cover and is also easy to combine with other technical movements. ”

What Tang Tian said was what Procopio had told him at the beginning.

It's just that this kind of shooting has a requirement for the control of the ball, or the size of the palm, and his palm is small, which is not suitable for this way of shooting.

But Leonard is the opposite, his palms are amazingly big, and this type of shooting is best for him.

"I didn't think about that."

Leonard spoke.

No player will bother to think about these details, basically how to get started, and this is also the help that a top trainer can give.

"You can try, and I think you can also try to learn Kobe's back-to-body technique, you have big palms, you can do a good job of controlling the ball, and it will suit you very well."

Tang Tian continued.

Although Leonard is a small forward, he has excellent palms and body coordination, and he has the physical conditions to learn Kobe Bryant's skills.

Tang Tian's suggestions can be said to be completely right medicine.

"I'll try."

Leonard thought about it for a moment and nodded.

He was a little confused now, and Tang Tian's point was a direction for him.

Tang Tian smiled and patted Leonard on the shoulder.

It's one thing for him to be willing to dial, it's another for Leonard to listen and try.

Just like what he did to Yi Jianlian at the beginning, whether it can be effective or not depends on themselves.

The All-Star Game was a dividing point in the season, and the Spurs had a decent record ahead of the All-Star break.

But if you really want to get a better position in the playoffs, you have to continue to work hard after the All-Star break.

After a day of training in San Antonio, the Spurs were back on a plane to Oklahoma City.

They will once again play the Thunder on the road, but this time it will not be a preseason, but a regular season.

It's not even an ordinary regular season game.

Although the Spurs are in first place in the West, they are only half a win ahead of the second-place Thunder, and the winner or loss of this game will re-determine who is first in the West.

In other words, this is a serious battle for position.

Of course, in addition to this, what fans are looking forward to more is the alignment of Tang Tian and Durant.

You must know that after losing the three-point contest at the All-Star Game, Durant has already said on Twitter that he wants to blow up the so-called "godfather".
