Chang Wei does not discriminate against the fat men on the court, not to mention O'Neal, Glenn Davis, who was drafted in the second round this year, is also a flexible fat man. Therefore, most of the time the weight on the court has no effect on the technique, and it mainly causes problems to the health of the players, after all, the greater the weight, the more weight the legs bear, and they are more likely to get injured than others.

However, Chang Wei asked Gasol Jr. to lose weight not for this reason, in his opinion, Gasol Jr. must develop into an all-round route from the beginning, instead of becoming a traditional center forward like in his previous life, and then start to transform.

Prior to this, whether in the NCAA or the NBA, Chang Wei had not urged his players to lose weight, and this was only the first time. But he never felt that this was a problem, anyway, there are countless weight loss plans in the system, he just needs to pick the most suitable one according to Gasol Jr.'s personal situation, and of course time must also be considered.

The training camp was not short, but Chang Wei did not intend to let Gasol Jr.'s weight loss plan be achieved overnight, which was likely to cause harm to his health. In fact, in Chang Wei's view, Gasol Jr. can meet the requirements at the end of the season to be considered a success.

But a relatively mild weight loss plan is not something that normal people can afford, and little Gasol is trained very miserably every day. In addition to the additional training program, he had at least 1.5 times as many tasks as his teammates in the same events, and in a few events he even reached twice as much. Gasol Jr. had also worked hard in the Spanish league before, but this intensity was unheard of, and he worried every day whether he would get injured due to the heavy training tasks, and you can imagine how much pressure there was.

Chang Wei is not only responsible for formulating a weight loss plan, but he also strictly controls Gasol Jr.'s daily diet. Eating small meals is the most basic, and he also uses his reputation to exchange for a lot of strange-looking food from the system, which is like using little Gasol as a guinea pig. However, Gasol Jr. soon found that the recipe Chang Wei had given him was extraordinary, and after a week, he could clearly feel the changes in his body, and the contours of the muscles in his arms looked clearer, which was a good situation.

Gasol Jr.'s flexibility is unquestionable, and his footsteps under the basket and mid-range shooting are also a certain amount of fire, after all, the Spanish Basketball League is arguably the best basketball league in the world except for the NBA, and there is not even one of them, and the guys who have played there are not far behind. Now that Gasol Jr.'s weight loss has been effective, Chang Wei is ready to add him to the next stage of training, that is, high-level strategy and three-point shooting, which is also the advantage of Gasol Jr. in his previous life.

Since learning about Chang Wei's training direction for him, although Gasol Jr. was puzzled in his heart, he still obediently went to find the video of the game between Divac and Sabonis, and took time to watch and analyze it after training every day. Relatively speaking, Sabonis has a more appetite for Xiaojia than Divac, and the two are about the same size, Divac is still a little lighter.

As Yao Ming's idol and the greatest center in European basketball, Sabonis has not played enough dominance in the NBA, but no one can deny his strength. Current Clippers coach Dunleavy gave Sabonis a very high rating when he was coaching the Trail Blazers, saying: "Anyone who watched Sabonis play when he was young will know that he is one of the five greatest centers of all time. Even now he can still beat opponents with three-pointers, hooks, and even dribbles. He can make his teammates play better and have a deep reading of the game, just like Big Bird, Magic and Jordan. ”

He can use his back-to-back singles and moving footwork to get to the basket smartly, and then score easily with a nice reverse hook; He can move to the top of the arc to cover his teammates and then throw in a three-pointer; He can also dangle defenders with the ball, cut to the basket and dunk to finish offense. High-level organization and strategy will be a piece of cake for Sabonis.

If Gasol Jr. can achieve Sabonis's level, Chang Wei will have nothing to worry about, but unfortunately the level of the Lithuanian center is not something that can be achieved casually, and Gasol Jr. has already earned it as a weakened version of the Bobcat.

Fortunately, Gasol Jr. has also been trained in European basketball for a long time, and he has never eaten pork and seen pigs run. Especially his brother Gasol, although he has been criticized for playing very softly, but in all fairness, his high-level strategy is indeed the top in the league, and Gasol Jr., who often plays with his brother, is naturally also familiar with it, but he has not had the opportunity to use it before.

Under Chang Wei's training, Gasol Jr. has lost weight, and his personal skills have also improved greatly, and the most profound feeling is undoubtedly the teammates who train together. When the five-on-five confrontation, the players on the first team with Gasol Jr. felt that they played very easily, although Ellis was a little dissatisfied with Gasol Jr. robbing him of the power of the organization, but he also had to admit that whenever he cut to the basket, the big guy's pass could always be just right in his hands, so it was easy to play.

Jackson doesn't want to say anything more about Chang Wei's ability to coach players, in his opinion, he is very happy to have Chang Wei as an assistant coach, this guy seems to be omnipotent, and any problem can be solved in his hands. At first, Jackson didn't have much hope for Gasol Jr., but now he thinks Gasol Jr. is good enough to play as a starting center.

Of course, training is training after all, and if you want to see real results, you have to practice in the competition. Jackson asked Milicic for advice in the hope that he would find time to play in summer league this year. Milicic was puzzled by the manager's request, and when he learned that he was going to form an inside twin tower with Gasol Jr., he decisively agreed.

For Milicic, there is no problem with Rahim, but his confrontation ability is really average, and with his current three-point shooting ability, he is indeed more suitable for the No. 4 position, and it is obviously better to partner with Gasol Jr. than Rahim. Besides, the intensity of the summer league competition is there, and it will definitely not affect his training, so a fool will not agree!

Jackson's idea was also echoed by Chang Wei. Although Milicic is a bit of a bully to play in the summer league, it is okay to let the twin towers combination go gradually, and if the summer league works well, try it in the preseason, and then slowly replace the previous inside combination, and finally become the team's iron-clad starting combination, such a route is completely fine.
