Chapter 11: The New Physicist
First of all, thank you for the rewards of half past ten in the morning, Zhong ~ AI and others, thank you for your rewards, which filled me with writing motivation and presented the third update today!!
----------------------------------------------------
As a half-marathon champion, although there is no real trophy, it is already a great honor for the city of New Haven and Yale University.
The team's sponsors were also impressed by the team's strength, and they unanimously decided to improve Yale's athletic facilities after the board meeting, both in terms of hardware and software, and of course, the team's welfare.
Although Sun Xiaotian played extremely perfectly halfway, he was also broadcast live by ESPN in the United States, so that families in the United States basically knew him. However, the Ivy League, where Yale University is located, is limited after all, and such results are not enough to say anything, compared to UCLA, Duke, Kentucky...... Of these famous basketball schools, Sun Xiaotian has obviously not received much recognition.
In fact, in the NBA, there are countless such examples. The most representative is Paul. Gasol, who was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies that year, quickly became the leader and core of the team, and also led the Grizzlies to the playoffs. However, due to the limited market in Memphis, Gasol's market exposure is not so hot, so he has not received much attention for his comprehensive technology. It wasn't until Kubcek brought him to the Lakers that Gasol's excellent playmaking, nimble footwork, soft shooting touch, skillful dribbling, etc., conquered discerning Los Angeles fans in an instant. And with his help, the Lakers also won two championships in a row, rebuilding the glory of the OK combination when they won three consecutive championships. Gasol's value has also risen.
Of course, for Sun Xiaotian, less media attention may be a good thing for him, because without the pressure of society, he may be able to grow up with more peace of mind. Besides, in fact, he is getting a lot of attention now!
On the team's training day, the director of the school showed up on the pitch, he spoke a few words to Heywood, who followed him out of the gymnasium and led a man in a short time. I saw that this person was relatively short, and he was also very young, wearing a white T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of jeans on his lower body.
"Everybody's here!" Heywood called out to everyone.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Sneider, and he is our new physical trainer from today."
"Hello everyone! I hope to help you grow better. "Sneijder is not modest at all.
Physiologist? For Sun Xiaotian, this name is actually not unfamiliar, and he often hears it when he watches NBA games. However, in reality, it is the first time I have come into contact with such a profession. The one from the previous team can't be called a physical trainer at all, just a team doctor.
The Physiologist pays more attention to the rules, details and suitability, and he will develop the corresponding training plan according to the physical structure of each player. In the case of James, his athleticism is unique, so the need for a physical trainer is to better coordinate his body and avoid injuries caused by too many strenuous exercises, and accordingly reduce the fat content. In the case of players like Randolph on the Grizzlies, they are more interested in hand-to-hand combat on the inside, and if they don't have tonnage, they can't gain a foothold in the NBA for a long time, so they need to increase their physical tonnage appropriately.
Of course, with the help of a physical trainer, players can achieve success, but the price of success is also very painful. You can't eat too much of what is delicious, you can't drink too much of what is good, and you can't play too much of what is fun, this is the regular life required by a physical trainer.
They often put "Rain Man" Sean. Camp is a typical case. Everyone knows that when he was in the supersonic speed, he was known for his explosive body. Crazy dunk, super athletic talent, today's Giving Riffin is nothing compared to him. But when he came back one offseason, not only the coach was dumbfounded, but his teammates were dumbfounded. Unable to resist all kinds of temptations, his uncontrolled overeating finally became a fat man on the basketball court, and his career was hasty.
……
Sneijder also developed an exclusive training method for Sun Xiaotian to help him improve his matchups. First of all, Sun Xiaotian's body is a little too thin, which is actually an important reason why Sun Xiaotian doesn't like physical contact. This is fine in the college league, but once you play in the professional league in the future, it will become a fatal weakness, and it will also bring the hidden danger of injury. Therefore, Sun Xiaotian's first goal is to gain weight and improve the strength of his limbs, especially his upper limbs. Of course, weight gain is not blind, he has to be based on his own bone composition, after all, the bones of Oriental people are different from those of whites and blacks.
Everyone still remembers our beloved Yao Ming, when he entered the NBA, his body was so "slim", and the game of dribbling and dunking on his back is still fresh in the memory of the Chinese people. But at that time, his body greatly limited his development, so as soon as Van Gundy took office, he let Yao Ming gain weight, especially his lower body strength, which was almost the strongest in the league at that time. However, the overload of the body greatly damaged Yao Ming's lower limb bones, which directly affected his career.
Sun Xiaotian is actually quite looking forward to this training method, and Snead also told him that this training method is the most suitable for him, which does not need to increase the endurance of the bones too much, but also strengthens the strength of the upper limbs, and Maddie's training method was similar to this method back then.
Although Maddie looks very thin, his upper body strength is very strong. When the Rockets and the Mavericks played a seven-long playoff game that year, Maddy was the main defense of Nowitzki at that time. The excellent upper body strength made Nowitzki very uncomfortable, and the shooting felt very awkward. We don't care what the result is, at least Maddie's single defense is a success.
Not only Sun Xiaotian, but every member of the pit bulldog team has started professional physical training, although this physical training is only twenty or thirty minutes before training, but its role will be obvious. And often this kind of physical fitness is not the kind of hard weightlifting, barbell or something in everyone's mind, it is often something such as shaking ribbons, skipping rope, jumping steps, balance balls, etc., in everyone's opinion, it is more biased towards women, but scientific training does not pay attention to male and female projects, it cares about suitability.
What will happen to the results of the training? It is not expected to be immediate in the short term. However, since the sport is regarded as life, the hard work of a long time will become the main part of life.
Now, our big stars are on their way.
PS: Thank you all for your support! Starting in the next chapter, Sun Xiaotian will lead his pit bulls on a journey to the Ivy League championship.
