Chapter 496: It's Not Torture
"Darko, go deeper, we're doing footwork under the basket instead of shooting, OK?"
"Did all the previous strength training go for nothing? It's a waste that I didn't even find out that you were a paper man until now......"
"Drop point, drop point, you have to learn to judge the trajectory of the rebounding ball, can you fight too much with your body?"
Milicic was on the field against Brand and Big Ben, and at the same time, he had to endure the sound of Chang Wei from time to time. Anyone is very impatient with having someone nagging next to him when he is serious about doing things, and the same is true for Milicic, but he knows that this is to make himself stronger, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, and put all his energy into fighting.
Both Brand and Big Ben have tight schedules, with the former only staying for a week and the latter even just three days, and both have other things to do as established stars. So Chang Wei simply spent all his training time on one-on-one, so that Milicic could adapt to the NBA starter-level confrontation as soon as possible, after all, there was not much time left before the preseason started.
Milicic feels that playing against Brand and Big Ben every day is a complete torture, and his ability is not yet at the level of going head-to-head with these two, but Chang Wei asks him to try to be as tough as possible, rather than always solving problems with shots.
In Chang Wei's view, Milicic's mid-to-long-range shooting is really important, but as a center, he must go to the basket when the team needs it, and the three-point shooting is not at a high level in every game and every quarter, and a strong attack under the basket is a good way to break the game at this time. Three-point shooting Milicic can talk to Brand, but in the face of an opponent like Big Ben, Chang Wei strictly requires him to go to the basket more and hold the ball alone, as long as he can barely compete with Big Ben.
However, Milicic's determination to become stronger is still commendable, and although he is disgraced by two strong opponents every day, he never throws in the towel, at most he rests for a while and rejoins the fight. This made Chang Wei feel very relieved, and it seems that Milicic has left behind his past experience of being left out in the cold and is ready to start again in Charlotte.
For Milicic's progress, in addition to having the system's Changwei, Bland and Big Ben, who are against him, also have a very intuitive feeling. When leaving, Big Ben rarely showed a smile on his face, he looked at Milicic who was still sweating on the court, and said to Chang Wei: "This guy is worthy of the rookie of the golden generation in 2003, he still has talent, and now he is improving quickly in the basket offense, although it is not enough to break down my defense, but it is still more than the average level of the league." ”
Milicic's departure was a source of regret for Milicic, who felt the strength of the champion centre-forward in one-on-one situations, forcing him to do better on his feet and back-to-back singles. In addition, Milicic's finishing ability under the basket has also improved a lot, of course, most of the time he is used to using hook hands to finish, and layups have to be covered.
Training with Brand was a lot easier. Milicic will only play one-on-one against Big Ben, because the two are completely different types, and he has nothing to learn other than grabbing rebounds. Brand is different, this short inside offensive and three-point shooting is very good, after all, Chang Wei trained in Villanova University as an excellent insider, the two can also discuss each other's offensive methods in addition to the exchange, which also benefits Milicic a lot.
Both were trained by Chang Wei, Brand and Milicic can be said to have the same friendship, and Brand has a bold personality, so he spares no effort to guide Milicic, Chang Wei often laughs at him and says that the apprentices of the church will starve to death when the time comes, Brand always laughs and doesn't care, he knows that Chang Wei is joking, otherwise he wouldn't have called himself to Charlotte.
A week passed quickly, and Milicic had to send off a second mentor after sending off Big Ben. Seeing Milicic's reluctant look, Brand patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Come on, Darko, I'm looking forward to playing you in the regular season, and I hope your performance at that time won't disappoint me." And, you have to believe in Chang, he thinks that if you can do it, you will be able to succeed, the last three years have been a dream, and now you can start again in Charlotte, that's great! ”
Milicic nodded vigorously, there is nothing better than the praise of his opponent, and although Brand is not his opponent, he has never shown mercy in one-on-one situations, and can barely be considered an opponent. Now that Brand has affirmed his quality, Milicic's confidence has been further boosted, and he is looking forward to the upcoming season.
Brand's departure also means that Chang Wei's special training for Milicic is basically over, and then the reborn Milicic will participate in the team's joint training. For the sake of Milicic, Jackson stubbornly postponed the team's start of joint training by three days, which was rescheduled at the strong request of Chang Wei, and he still had some doubts about Milicic's strength.
After all, Milicic had been on the bench for almost three years before that, and he was the worst of the high-ranking rookies of the 2003 golden generation, unable to even get a starting spot, and his personal data was even lackluster. Jackson believes in Chang Wei's ability, but Milicic's special training time is not very long, he can hardly believe that Chang Wei can make Milicic reborn in such a short time, and three days is already the upper limit he can accept, the summer league will start soon, and he must hurry.
The night before the joint practice began, Jackson went to talk to Chang Wei, but he still didn't know the bottom in his heart. Chang Wei is clear about his good friend's thoughts, but he is not angry because of Jackson's doubts, but is very relieved, it seems that this guy is already qualified to become a qualified head coach, but unfortunately the system cannot query the potential of the head coach.
Facing the anxious Jackson, Chang Wei smiled and said, "Damon, don't you still believe in my strength? ”
Jackson smiled bitterly: "Chang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Darko's previous performance was really bad, and the time you gave him special training is still too short, I think it's better to let Sharif play center, and then let David or Jason play power forward......"
"No, Damon, you're wrong," Chang Wei said categorically, "The level to which Darko can grow has nothing to do with the length of special training. He's a big guy with a lot of talent, it's just that the team that drafted him didn't give him enough room to grow, and what I did before was to channel his potential, which was a natural thing. ”
