After Wu Shuang returned to China to accompany his parents, Yang Long will devote himself to the upcoming NBA debut season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

I believe that many people know that the upper limit of a player is important, but the lower limit is also very important, and Yang Long knows this. In addition to exercising strength in the offseason, Yang Long's main training goal is to train his ability to shoot against the middle. This kind of training can't be done by one person, in order to hire a professional trainer, Yang Long still asked his parents for help, his first season salary has not been paid, even if he is reluctant, but this is also a helpless thing.

When shooting, the trainer held a cotton sleeve to constantly interfere with Yang Long, first of all, the cotton sleeve raised high had to touch his wrist from time to time, if it was put on the basketball court, such a degree of interference could be said to be suspected of fouling, but this is training, to simulate the worst scenario. The second is that it will seriously affect your shooting vision. At first, Yang Long was extremely uncomfortable, and shooting under interference has never been his strong point, and he made a lot of iron sounds, eager to heat up the basket. But as time passed, Yang Long gradually found his senses, and he found that under extremely strong interference, sometimes he couldn't ask for more adjustments, and in this case, he needed to trust more in his shooting memory, neural memory and muscle memory. From hitting two or three out of ten at the beginning, to hitting six or seven out of ten in the end, Yang Long can hit six or seven out of ten, such progress is quite obvious. To achieve the interference of this intensity, he can still be as stable as Mount Tai, hitting eight or nine times out of ten, Yang Long thinks that he does not have that ability, but he also believes that there will not be too many people with this ability, otherwise, wouldn't such a person regard defense as nothing?

As a point guard, being able to firmly control the ball in your own hands is also a skill that must be mastered, and it is basic not to lose the ball without confrontation, and it is a skill that a good point guard should master when it comes to strong confrontation, in the case of exhaustion, and even in the case of double strikes. Yang Long's training also includes this one, the trainer will continue to press Yang Long when he is in possession of the ball, Yang Long needs to spend a lot of energy on resisting the pressure, because of the distraction, so it is inevitable to lose the ball in the initial training. After all, people are creatures with super adaptability, so once Yang Long begins to gradually adapt to being single-minded, it is not impossible to control the ball in the confrontation. After the initial results of the training against the central possession, Yang Long was asked by the trainer to continue training when he was exhausted, which was not pleasant, but a player may have to face such a situation at the end of the game.

Breakthrough can also be said to be a necessary skill for a good outside player. Breakaways are more likely to face physical contact and defensive pressure than shooting. If you want to improve your overall shooting percentage, you have to get the ball to the basket with such defensive interference. It can be said that the trainer was unceremonious, and greeted Yang Long vigorously with a cotton pad on his shoulder, Yang Long was annoyed, but he still tried to maintain his body balance, looking forward to developing a shooting feeling under interference in the confrontation.

Strength training is essential, and it may be said that the smarter players are effective at reducing physical contact, but the real purpose of strength training is to get more opportunities when you have to sacrifice your body to fight.

After a summer, Yang Long gained a huge harvest. From the perspective of weight alone, from 88.6 kg in the draft, it successfully broke through the threshold of 90 kg to 91.3 kg.

On September 23, the 2003 Asian Men's Basketball Championship officially kicked off, and the Chinese team will play as the host team, including Da Yao, Liu Wei, Zhu Ba, Zhang Jinsong, Du Feng, Li Nan, Li Ke...... These are all well-known figures in the history of Chinese basketball.

The first game against the Syrian team, 103:51 won a big victory, the score is twice as much as Syria's, and I just want to ask who else?

In the second game, the ******** team easily won, 121:61, Taipei is Chinese territory, and although the advantage of winning is large, it cannot be used as a capital to talk about.

In the third game, China 93:69 Iran. Iran, Yang Long didn't know, that was the biggest opponent of the Chinese team in Asia in the next few years, but so what, the Chinese men's basketball team in 2003 was so domineering, with a 24-point advantage and easy abuse.

Game 4, 117:62 India, although India is a magical country, but on the basketball court, they have not been able to create any magic.

The fifth match against Lebanon, the runner-up of the last Asian Championships, even if it is the runner-up of the last edition, why not? 110:71, no blood.

In the last game of the group stage, China faced the Japanese team, it can be said that since World War II, the people have more or less resisted them, and this battle naturally cannot be relaxed, 88:60, Da Yao scored 26 points, 21 rebounds and a big double-double, I don't know if Da Yao also has some emotions in his heart?

At the end of the group stage, the Chinese team directly entered the semi-finals with a winning record, facing the challenge of the West Asian powerhouse Qatar, although Qatar's No. 10 Yassin scored a game-high 22 points, but the Chinese team still defeated the Qatar team 86:61 with its strong overall strength, which can be said to be thrilling.

In the final, the Chinese team will face the old rival South Korea team in East Asia.

Although he couldn't go to the scene, Yang Long specially watched the live broadcast of the game. In the last Asian Championships, the Chinese team lost to South Korea and was the runner-up, so the South Korean team has to be awe-inspired. None of the players in the South Korean team are talented, but the overall team is indeed a traditional first-class team in Asia. Their understanding of the game is worth learning, playing up the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses is the essence of the South Korean team, small people, then speed up, throw three points, in the third quarter of the game, the South Korean team once shot 7 of 11 three-pointers. This is the most difficult game of the Asian Championships of the Chinese team, after four quarters of fierce battles, the Chinese team finally successfully revenged, with a score of 106:96 to regain the Asian Championships, and won the 2004 Olympic Games ticket, 10 points difference is the smallest difference in the Asian Games for the Chinese team to win. Da Yao exploded with 30 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, it is conceivable that if Da Yao did not get the experience in the NBA, it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose.

This is what the Chinese team should look like, the hegemon of Asia. Yang Long felt sick when he thought of the Chinese national team's defeat to the Chinese Taipei team a few years later, and no matter what, he would not let that scene repeat itself.
