After a brief matchup, Leon began his first real training session with the Phoenix Suns, and the first lesson he gave his players was to tie their shoes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Everybody, spread your shoelaces all the way, immediately, immediately." This was the first order Leon gave to the players in the training hall, which made the Suns players look at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine Leon was selling in the gourd.

Even Bale and Dior were puzzled, when they were in Boston, Leon was not like this, he had a very tight training schedule, so that he didn't waste a minute or a second on things that had nothing to do with training.

But today was the first training session, and Nash was the first to crouch down and untie his shoelaces, and the other players saw that the boss did this, and they also crouched down and spread their shoelaces.

Then Leon said, "Now, everybody tie their shoelaces again." "Now the players are in an uproar, is this a monkey? But Leon continued: "However, I ask everyone to tie their shoes in the same way, with a neat, beautiful bow. I don't want to see any other shape come to the fore. “

It turns out that each player on the Suns team had their own way of tying their shoelaces before, and many players who played in the NBA had all kinds of strange superstitions, such as wearing underwear backwards, adding a training vest to the jersey, etc., all of which were used for autosuggestion. One of the hardest hit areas of player superstition is tying shoes. Some people must tie two buckles, some people like to tie a single buckle, and some people must tie a complicated buckle that no one can understand.

In short, there are all kinds of things, and they have to be so, otherwise it seems that they can't play well and can't win the game. Some of the Suns players also have such a small habit, and they are a little hesitant to see Leon say this.

Leon said, "If your messy tying methods can bring you victory, then you can write a complete collection of tying your shoelaces to win!" In this book, I will also write an article to tell everyone that neat and ordinary bows are the one that has won the most championships and victories, and there will be more and more in the future. “

After Leon finished speaking, Nash took the lead and tied a beautiful and neat bow, and then the other players obediently did the same, and everyone tied a bow. Leon looked over one by one, saw Marion's bow, and asked, "Are you a butterfly?" ”

Marion looked down, and it didn't seem to look like a butterfly, and the laces were crooked like a few worms tangled together. Marion didn't speak, while Leon crouched down, untied Marion's shoelaces, and tied a bow for him himself. This made Marion a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Oh no, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself, I can tie it." ”

Once the lace problem was solved, the players began to do basic exercises. Because it was the first day of training, it was mainly recovery training, basic passing, running and tactical rehearsals, and there was no too high-intensity practice. However, it was only this rudimentary practice, and the Suns' players quickly experienced the difference between Fox Leon's training and D'Antoni's.

The most significant difference is that Leon is too demanding in terms of details. Some small coordination, subtle technical movements, Leon is very fine, especially the passing coordination, passing action, receiving the ball and running the route, these are the basic skills learned in high school and college, but Leon is still very strict checks.

In the process of training, he kept stopping, correcting, stopping, correcting. And no matter which player does what the action has a problem, he can be the first to find out and immediately tell you with a roar on the sidelines.

It wasn't until more than half an hour of training that the Suns' players slowly got used to such a fragmented training process and were highly focused in training to avoid being named out by Leon for making mistakes. Dior, who has always been lazy in training in the past, is especially hard today, and D'Antoni on the side feels a little unbelievable when he sees it, Dior This guy actually buried his head and rushed forward when he ran?

In fact, Dio just recalled the fear of being dominated by Leon when he was training with the Boston Celtics in the past, and everyone was like a puppet pulling a string in his hand. And there will be no player who is dissatisfied with Leon, because no matter how personality a person is, as long as he is a basketball player, as long as he still has a little bit of competitiveness, as long as he still understands basketball, he will not think that Leon's methods are harmful to him.

"Stoudamire, pay attention to your position, your position, you don't have any threat in this position, find the point where you are a threat, it will help your team-mates more."

"Nash, you've been holding the ball for too long, and with the right distribution of your ball, the left wing can actually be used as an offensive starting point."

"Barria, when you're off the ball, it doesn't mean you don't have work to do, and if standing in the bottom corner can make you stand up for a while, I don't mind having you stand in the desert all day."

This is the team's 5V5 unguarded offensive training, the defending side symbolically defensively, and the offensive side must run tactics and follow tactics, which requires players to be very clear about tactical routines.

Leon knows that the vast majority of players who have spent a few years in the NBA know all about tactics, let alone a passing master like Nash. It's just that he found that Suns players often don't pay attention to some details in the process of offensive running tactics, and these details often determine whether a tactic can succeed, or if a tactic fails, whether there can be a backhand.

In a high-level, high-intensity basketball confrontation like the NBA, the role of tactics is often not as great as people think, but the role of details is often overlooked.

Leon doesn't think the Suns need to make any drastic changes in their tactics, but in some key details, he must equip this team with the right equipment to get the most out of this roster, this group of players, and avoid those indelible flaws.

Training lasts until 12 a.m., and the team has a regular holiday in the afternoon, NBA training doesn't last all day, and effective rest is just as important as effective practice. Moreover, after practicing in the morning, the Suns players feel that they will retire directly if they practice in the afternoon. Because they felt fatigue like never before, not just physically, but more mentally.

Now that I think about it, the players would rather tie their shoes all the time and it was just too tiring to train with León. I never thought that there was a coach who could be so energetic, who was almost thorough in training, observing the details of everyone's movements so well that it felt like he was not coaching a team, but coaching everyone individually.

After training, Marion and Stoudamire sat in the physiotherapy tub in the locker room to relax, and couldn't help but ask Dio on the side, did Fox Leon train like this when he was with the Celtics?

Dio frowned, as if the two of them had mentioned something that made him sad, and said, "I don't want to talk about the days of training in Boston. In fact, training under Leon, the body is not too tired, and the training time he arranges for the team is not too long. It's just that my brain is too tired, and I don't know when he will start Hawkeye ballless training, and my head is big when I think of that. ”

Leon's Hawkeye off-ball simulation practice has always been a legendary existence in the NBA, and many people are curious about it, but for those who have experienced this kind of training, the difficulties and hardships are not enough for outsiders. The most important thing is that this seemingly impossible training method, Leon can really practice quite slippery.

After a group of people took a shower and did physiotherapy, they were ready to go back to their respective homes and relax a little in Phoenix in the afternoon, but at the door of the training hall, Leon offered to invite everyone to have a meal together.

This was unexpected by everyone, but they didn't expect this serious-looking and ruthless-looking coach to invite everyone to dinner after training. However, the new Suns' bench players looked strange, after all, they had been eating Leon for more than a week.

And Leon's desire to invite everyone to dinner was not improvised, he had already booked a famous Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, a large private room, which can accommodate all the Suns players.

Nash walked to the gymnasium to train, so after leaving the gym, he got on Leon's third-hand Toyota to the dining place.

Along the way, they chatted about today's training and some ideas for the future, and it was clear that Nash looked excited after the training.

"Why should we tie our shoes? Is this some little Southern magic? "Nash is clearly interested in tying his shoes before training.

Leon replied: "Sort of, it will bring the hearts of all the players closer." Haha, I don't know, I'm just unhappy with the way you tie your shoes. ”

Nash laughed when he heard this, in fact, how could Leon do something meaningless. In Sun's first training session, his every action, every word was meaningful. Even this Mexican restaurant for lunch treats, because Leon knew that Nash liked to go to Mexican restaurants with Nowitzki when he was in Dallas.
