Chapter 344: Alternative Genius
After taking a taxi through downtown Los Angeles, in a quiet suburb, Yiyang saw a pure white oval building in the distance. It's undoubtedly a multi-purpose stadium and the destination of my trip to Los Angeles.
"See? Atkins Training Centre, this year's summer training camp, you'll be here. Duffy, who was sitting next to Yiyang, pointed out the window, and Yiyang's guess was indeed correct.
After getting out of the car with his luggage, Yiyang discovered that this gymnasium surrounded by shrubs was not just a gymnasium, but an entire sports community.
In addition to the sports hall, there are all kinds of facilities such as accommodation, dining, swimming pools, rubber runways, etc. In a desolate suburb, the neighborhood resembles the mansion of a wealthy family. However, it is true that those who choose to train here are indeed some rich people.
"Wow!" Looking at the well-equipped community in front of him, Yiyang couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Bill. Duffy didn't answer, still keeping his own wicked smile on. Now, it's not time to be surprised!
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the trainer. Then, meet your campers too! Duffy took a step and led Yiyang towards the milky oval stadium.
Pushing open the door of the gymnasium, the screeching sound of basketball shoes rubbing against the wooden floor came to your face. On the field, many people have already started their training under the guidance of trainers. Seeing the door of the gymnasium opened, everyone's attention was attracted. Because the people who can come here to train are certainly not ordinary people, and everyone is eager to see which superstar is here again.
However, Yiyang did not surprise the people who were already training inside. It was those who were already sweating on the field that made Yiyang grow his mouth in shock again.
"Hey Duffy, you really brought him here! How's that? This place is not patient! One of the players walked towards Yiyang with a kind smile and held out his right hand.
Yiyang shook hands with the other party mechanically, still unable to believe what he saw.
The guy who came to shake Yiyang's hand is a super scorer who used to be on par with James, and is now the king of New York. Anthony! And behind Anthony, Stephen. Nash. Smith, Blake. Griffin and Brandon. Jennings is impressively listed!
Just like Bill. What Duffy said, even more surprisingly, was left last! This is not an ordinary summer training camp, but a basketball mecca where superstars are gathered!
"Hey, you're speechless?" Duffy stabbed Yiyang with his elbow, who was stunned in place, and Yiyang had heard that stars liked to train together in the summer. But he never expected that the star lineup would be so bright.
"Relax man, nobody's a superstar here. Of course, when it comes to confrontational training, I don't give up! Anthony patted Yiyang's shoulder kindly like a host, being able to gather so many superstars to train here, compared to the trainers here, he must be a respected old-timer!
With this imagination, Yiyang followed Bill. Duffy came to the trainer's office. When they pushed open the office door, it wasn't a wrinkled-faced black uncle or a pot-bellied white coach sitting behind the desk. A young man who didn't look much older than Yiyang stood up and shook hands with Duffy.
"This is the fourth player I've sent to you, and I'm sure you know him, so I won't introduce him too much. Also, this is Chris. Brickley, your master trainer for all the other players present! All your training plans and content are arranged by him! ”
After listening to Bill. With Duffy's introduction, Yiyang felt that his three views seemed to be refreshed again. This guy who doesn't look a few years older than himself is the master trainer for himself and so many superstars outside the door?
"Hello, don't worry, Duffy's players are my regular customers. Here, you'll definitely get the best training! As long as we work together properly, in a summer, your strength will be very different from what it is now. By the way, I've already seen your performance in the finals, and seriously, you deserve that O'Brien Cup" Brikley smiled and shook Yiyang's hand, and Duffy looked at Yiyang's eyes, he knew what the kid was worried about.
"Some people may be able to show the talent to play in the NBA in high school, but it's clear that Chris is not that kind of talent. His genius lies in the fact that he knows how to dissect a player and then make them even better! Trust me, the trainer I found for you is definitely the best in the country! Duffy knew that Yiyang was looking at Brickley too young, so it was inevitable that there would be some distrust, which was normal. After all, if a young basketball player is really good, he should be on the NBA court, not teaching others to play on the training floor. But there is a specialization in the art industry, and in the field of basketball, there are indeed many people who can't play in the NBA, but can coach NBA-level players to play. Brickley, is one of them. Brickley played for two years at the University of Louisville before graduating, graduating as the youngest assistant coach in the NCAA Division I. The youngster has a keen sense of the game and is able to draw conclusions about the technical characteristics of players of different styles.
"It's okay, you'll know if our training is useful or not. First of all, I need to ask you a question, too. What would you most like to improve this summer? "Brickley knows that the best way to gain the trust of the other party is through the results of the work! So he didn't greet Yiyang much, but cut straight to the topic.
"Three-pointers!" Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Yiyang's answer was almost blurted out. As an NBA-level guard, Yiyang's three-point shot, while occasionally effective, cannot be used as a regular offensive tool.
There are no three-pointers, which means that Yiyang can only open up space for his teammates through never-ending running. But if Yiyang's three-pointer becomes a real threat, he only needs to stand there to be able to attract the defense. Whether from the perspective of practical value or strategic significance, three-point shooting is indeed a skill that Yiyang urgently needs to improve now.
"Three-pointers? Three-point shooting isn't something you can do in a day or two......" Brickley touched his chin with a frown, but his confidence quickly returned. "But I'm here, and I'm not going to let you go home empty-handed! Today, you're going to do some acclimatization training first. I'll also make a detailed training plan for you today. Tomorrow, our training will officially begin! By the way, in my training camp, it's not uncommon for the players to practice for seven or eight hours straight. Are you okay with that? ”
"Don't worry about Chris, that's a regular thing for me." Yiyang smiled slightly, and seemed to find some resonance with this young trainer.
"Very good, let's go to the dressing room and change into the shirt now. You can learn a lot even from the guys on the field. With that, Brickley stood up. At this time, Yiyang found out that this guy had been wearing a complete set of basketball equipment. On the training ground, Brickley will always personally guide everyone's practice.
Looking at the superstar-studded training lineup outside the office and the highly acclaimed Brickley, Yiyang seems to be looking forward to his training this summer.
What could be more gratifying than progress? In the absence of systematic training, Yiyang's three-point shooting level has improved by leaps and bounds.
Bill. Duffy believes that with Brickley's systematic guidance and the guidance of other superstars. Next season, Yiyang will surprise everyone who looks down on him from beyond the three-point line.
Los Angeles Summer, Let's Get Started!
