Chapter 30 Skill Training
Twenty laps is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and the foreigners in the stands all took out the tablet from their briefcases and began to make some preparations, exchanging ideas from time to time.
"David, these Chinese players have worked hard from the beginning!" Nahura turned to a foreigner beside him.
The foreigner, who was wearing a suit and bald head, looked like he was around fifty years old, and he smiled and nodded, "Basketball is a very popular sport in China. ”
"Yes, China is a big market, and now among the NBA players, only Jeremy Lin, who is of Chinese descent, is already very popular among the local Chinese, and if you can find a Chinese player with enough strength, it will be very beneficial to the team." Nahura continued.
David Booth smiled and said, "I hope, but I already have a predetermined candidate in mind, so let's see if there are any other suitable candidates." ”
"Who, tell me about it?" Nahura asked curiously.
"Well, of course, I can't tell you about it yet." David Booth said with a little cryptography.
Nahura glanced at the players on the field, and then said, "It should be the player named He, right?" I have heard some time ago that you have been in contact with the top management of the Liaoning team. ”
David Booth smiled but didn't say a word, giving people a sense of incomprehension.
……
Because Su Mei came early, she sat in the front position, listening to the communication of the people in front of her, and slowly knew their identities.
Like this David Booth, who is the Pelicans' head of the player department, plus the others are scouts or executives from different NAB teams, it seems that this training camp is definitely full of weight.
Perhaps the NBA has not had a Chinese player for several years, not only Chinese fans, but even the NBA itself is in great need of an NBA player who can stand on its feet.
He looked at Tang Shuai, who was running unhurriedly, and looked forward to this disciple of his being able to shine.
There were a total of 30 players who came to the training camp this time, and after 20 laps, most of the players were breathing steadily, only the first few people rushed fiercely, and some were out of breath.
Robert Parker reached out and looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Very well, you're going a lot faster than I expected, so let's do some simple joint warm-up activities with me." ”
After the interpreter finished speaking, the assistant coach pulled his arm and began to do some warm-up exercises for his joints.
These moves have also been done in the usual training camps, but they are more comprehensive and longer.
After waiting for about five minutes, this set of warm-up actions was completed, and the players felt a slight heat in their joints, and the effect was still obvious.
While they were warming up, the rest of the staff had already placed obstacles on the field.
Parker continued: "The first training program of the day was skill training. ”
The players all looked at Parker suspiciously, not knowing what he was referring to by skill training.
Parker then pointed to the court and said, "I'm sure many of you should have been watching the Skills Challenge in the NBA All-Star Game, which is a similar exercise. ”
The players had different expressions on their faces when they heard Parker say this, with the guards all beaming with joy after hearing this, and the interior players with a sad look on their faces after hearing this.
The NBA Skills Challenge is a game that examines players in dribbling, passing, and shooting, players make a layup at the beginning, then quickly move to the other side of the court, dribble around two obstacles, pass the ball into a frame equivalent to the distance of the three-point line, and then dribble over the same number of obstacles, and then to the front court is a three-point shot, and then then dribble from the front court to the backcourt for layups, and finally complete the game, the standard for judging is the length of time to complete.
The first project of the training camp is this kind of strong performance nature, which can also be seen from the purpose of this training camp is to show.
Parker then divided the players into groups according to their positions.
The first to start is the center group, these players don't look good when they play, this is originally a project to examine the ability of guards, especially three-point shooting projects, many centers don't usually train, but since Parker has said so, they can only bite the bullet.
The first to play is Hu Jinqiu, the potential inside line of the national youth.
The timekeeper on the sidelines waited for Hu Jinqiu to signal that he was ready, and then announced the start of the game.
The first layup, Hu Jinqiu directly dunked one, then dribbled quickly over the obstacle, stopped at the passing point, he aimed at the ball for a while before passing the ball out, the first pass hit the edge of the frame and bounced out, he immediately picked up the second ball, the second ball was still a little worse, and waited until the third ball, after adjustment, the ball finally penetrated the blue frame.
After completing the pass, he immediately rushed to the outside of the three-point line, there are a total of five balls at this point, as long as you throw any one of them, you can continue to the next link, of course, if you don't score five, this link can be skipped.
However, this is a race against time, and no one will deliberately miss all five balls, after all, that is definitely a lot more wasted time than throwing.
Hu Jinqiu reached the three-point line, picked up the ball and shot directly.
He shoots quickly, and judging from his shooting posture, he should have practiced three-point shooting in normal times.
The first ball jumps out of the basket.
The second goal was still a little worse.
The third ball hit the board, and the ball bounced and finally went in.
He ran to the side of the court, accelerated with the ball and rushed forward desperately, bypassed two obstacles and then reached the front court, took the ball and dunked directly.
At this point, the whole project is complete.
The final result came out, 42 seconds, which is already a good result in the center.
The scouts and senior management on the sidelines all nodded slightly, obviously Hu Jinqiu's performance was okay in their eyes.
Hu Jinqiu's performance gave the center group a good start.
But a good start is just the beginning, and then the performance of those centers is relatively miserable, especially the three-point shot and passing, most of the players used up the five balls and failed to complete it, and the people in the stands couldn't stop shaking their heads.
The center group is followed by the forward group, and compared with the center group, the performance of this group is much better, especially He Tianju, who is two meters and six meters tall, completed very smoothly, with only 35 seconds, which is comparable to some NBA guard players, and the people in the stands nodded one after another, obviously they are quite satisfied with this performance.
