Chapter 82: Training

"Anna, my long-range shooting attribute in this game is overflowing, why is the shooting percentage still so low?" After the game with the Knicks, Meng Xu drilled into the system space and practiced, and Meng Xu was very dissatisfied with the shooting percentage of this game.

"Hey, be content, 6 of 16 shots, you shot 3 points, is this shooting rate still low? Do you want to have a hit rate of more than 4 percent every game? Even when Curry also made 0 of 10 shots, what do you want to do? Hearing Meng Xu complaining, Anna said with disdain.

"Curry? Who is Curry? Dell Curry? Is it better than my long-range shot? Hearing the name Anna said, Meng Xu was also confused, I am an All-Star 3-point king, no more than Dell Curry, if you take Ray Allen, Reggie Miller is about the same as me.

"Idiot, I'm talking about Curry is the son of Dell Curry, Stephen Curry, almost all the records related to 3 points in NBA history are held by him, and the gap between you and him is as far as the United States to China."

"Shit, pure bullshit, how can there be such a person. I can see the little bean you talked about, and I don't know it. Meng Xu didn't pay attention to Anna after speaking, but continued his training.

After the game with the Knicks, the Spurs returned to San Antonio the next day, and then the Spurs will experience a very comfortable home game, after successive home wins over the Rockets, Suns, Jazz, Magic and Heat, the Spurs ended all games in February with a wave of 6 consecutive wins, and are currently in third place in the West with a 42-15 record, behind the 44-14 Trail Blazers and the 46-12 Lakers, after a brief ascent to the top at the beginning of the season. The record gap between the Spurs and the Lakers is also getting wider. The Trail Blazers seem to be completely unaffected by the All-Star Game, with a 10-game winning streak after the All-Star break, and are constantly closing the gap with the Lakers.

"Mike, is anyone still practicing?" The Spurs' general manager's office locked a stack of sorted papers in a drawer, and Popovich, who was about to leave, asked Mike Budenholzer, an assistant coach next to him.

"Well, there are only two left, Tim and Meng, and the others have gone back." Mike Budenholzer, who was on the side, turned off the TV and walked over to Popovich's side.

"What are they practicing? And how is Meng's strength training now? Is it still going on? As the head coach and general manager of the Spurs, Popovich has been busy sending scouts to collect information on players who may participate in the draft this year, and the team's daily training is also fully handed over to assistant coach Mike Budenholzer.

"Meng's strength training has been going on, and he's improved so much that he can now bench press 10 times at 230 pounds. After Meng has been training for the past few days, he will follow Thiem to practice back-to-back attacks. Mike Budenholzer smiled after speaking, since the rules of the league have become more and more favorable to the outside, the back ability of the outside players is getting worse and worse, and many of the new generation of outside players have basically not practiced back skills.

"Well, it seems that Meng listened to my words.

However, Meng's strength is still too poor, Tim bench press 400 pounds can easily do 10 sets, this summer to continue to gain weight for Meng, the strength is not good, and it is useless to practice back body skills. Well, it's time for us to go back, we can't compete with these young people. Popovich said as he walked out the door.

"By the way, Greg, the team doctor said that Sean will be back in a few days." Mike Budenholzer walked out of the room after him and turned off the lights in his room.

"Well, got it, let Sean do some recovery training first, don't rush to play." For Sean Ettellio, who is about to return from injury, Popovich also has a headache and pressed Meng Xu to the bench? Obviously unlikely, it is impossible to let Sean Etellio play as a substitute, you must know that Sean Etellio's annual salary this season is 5.6 million, and Popovich has already experimented last season, Sean Etellio is not suitable for playing the sixth man. is old, Sean Etellio, who has undergone another major operation this season, is not too valuable in the current transaction, and it is not easy to find a pick-up man, Sean Etellio only signed a 4-year 23 million contract extension with the Spurs last season, if he can't play at the level of last season after his comeback, then this contract is a complete garbage contract, Popovich has a headache when he thinks of the contract, Tim Duncan and Avery Johnson are both in their last year this year, Tim Duncan naturally wants a contract extension with a maximum salary, Johnson also wants at least 7 million a year, plus David Robinson 14.5 million next year, Sean Etellio 6.2 million, Mario Elie 5.5 million, properly over the salary cap, and the board of directors does not give money, strictly orders the salary cap to be spent casually, and there is no point above the salary cap.

Thinking of this, Popovich also rubbed his head and shook his head helplessly.

"What's wrong? Greg. As if he saw Popovich's strange appearance, Mike Budenholzer on the side asked with concern.

"It's okay, let's go back."

"Tim, you can't let me once." On the training ground, Meng Xu singled Tim Duncan with the ball on his back, top once, top once, Tim Duncan didn't move at all, turned around and shot either was covered, or was squeezed out of balance by Duncan, and now Meng Xu knows how perverted Duncan's strength is.

"Meng, you better go and practice your strength first. And don't you think your mid-pitch is the same as Xiang? Tim Duncan said with his hands on the basketball.

"Hey, senior, laugh, you said you have a face on the field, oh, sculpture, a sculpture, a sculpture, forget it on the training ground." Meng Xu was lying on the ground, almost saying the word facial paralysis.

"Hey, you know a." Duncan said as he threw away the basketball and sat down on the floor.

"When you play, you must first focus, you have to have no distractions, and on the court is not only the confrontation of physical strength and ball skills, but also the psychological struggle, don't you like to chatter on the field, that is also a kind of psychological struggle." Duncan said to Meng Xu as if he had come over.

"Tim, you mean to say that your statue is also putting psychological pressure on your opponent, I think you can go and open a psychiatrist's clinic." After Meng Xu finished thinking about it, it seemed that Tim Duncan really studied psychology.

"Uh-huh." Duncan shrugged: "I can't talk about trash, so I'll use it this way." I think it works better than your chatter. After Duncan finished speaking, his face was expressionless, and he stared at Meng Xu with a gloomy face.

"The king's contempt?" Meng Xu shook his head, "I think, it's useless. ”

"At least you can save your energy."
