Chapter 397: Daily Training

The upper body is an off-white sweatshirt, the lower body is black leg pants, and the foot is wearing a jogging shoe specially created by Nike.

"GO, GO, GO, Tim" After Tall and Strong went downstairs, there was already a big black man waiting for him, he was Tall and Strong's personal strength and conditioning coach - Tim? Grover.

Grover used to be Jordan Bryant's professional trainer and has helped many top NBA basketball players to condition, including Jordan, Kobe, Maddie, Wade, etc., the famous conditioning master in the sports world has followed Gao Dazhuang from Houston to Brooklyn since he was hired by Gao Dazhuang.

"You're a minute late" Tim? Grover looked up at his watch and said with a blank face.

"Oh, Tim, I just met the beautiful neighbor who lives across from me, the one on Wall Street, so if you talk a little more, you won't be tempted to see a beautiful woman, right?" Tall and strong immediately quipped, no way, Tim? Grover is a man with a very strong sense of time.

"Okay, but in the second half of the season, you have to be fit" Apparently tall and strong reasons can make Tim? Grover accepted, and he was half a step behind the tall man, and the two of them began to jog along the banks of the Hudson River, one after the other.

On the banks of the Hudson River, in addition to a special car road, a winding sidewalk has been built, which is 5 meters wide and about 20 kilometers long, which is used by residents for walking and exercising in the morning and evening.

Facilities are available on the sidewalks to facilitate the movement of residents: parking lots about the size of two basketball courts have been built every 2-3 km, and small rest areas have been set up on the roadside every 2-3 km. There are chairs, taps for drinking, garbage cans, and barriers on the pathway leading to cars, making it impossible for motor vehicles to enter areas of human activity.

However, Gao Dazhuang prefers to jog near the embankment near the river, and the Hudson River tide rises and falls, with a drop of about three feet. But Tall and Strong likes it.

“GoodMorning。 "Gao Da Zhuang" had just run less than 1 kilometer when he was recognized by a woman jogging on the sidewalk.

"Hi, Evelyn" greets Tall Stout by his beautiful neighbor, Evelyn Marseille, an executive at a private bank on Wall Street. Single strong woman. The meticulous maintenance makes it impossible to tell how old she is in her thirties.

"What's next for you?" Evelyn Marseille exclaimed.

"Atlanta. The Eagles were "tall and strong, slowly slowing down their running speed."

"Beat them, high," Evelyn Marseille smiled and made a cheering gesture with her hand.

"My teammates and I are confident," Gao Dazhuang replied with a smile.

"Come on"

……

After a few pleasantries, Gao Dazhuang returned to his normal speed again. I continued my morning workout.

"Gao, is this Evelyn who lives across from you just now?" After the two ran away, Tim, who had been following behind the tall and strong? Grover asked suddenly.

"Yes, how? It's not like you have any ideas, do you? Tall and strong glanced back at Tim with a strange expression? Grover said.

"I'm wondering, you just said you were late because you ran into Evelyn, so why is she here again?" Tim? Grover replied, still expressionless.

"Oh no, Tim, you can't be so serious"......

Morning exercisers on the banks of the Hudson River are almost all familiar faces, so they say hello to each other, and in recent months, Tall and Strong has gathered a lot of popularity in New York, and even more so in Brooklyn.

However, even die-hard fans will not disturb Gao Dazhuang's morning workout, only when Gao Dazhuang stops to rest, a few fans will gather around to communicate with their idols, take photos and ask for autographs, and Gao Dazhuang will try his best to meet the fans' requests at this time.

Although the morning is mainly jogging, but in fact, the speed of the tall and strong is not slow, the sky has just been light, and the tall and strong have already run to the Nangang wharf.

The first thing that catches your eye is the 10,000-ton giant ship "Beijing" built by Hamburg, Germany, docked on the shore, and the Fulton wholesale fish market on Hudson River Street has been brightly lit, and a large number of fishmongers have come to buy goods, a lively scene.

By the time we continued across Wall Street to Pier Eleven, the first boat had already anchored, the Brooklyn Ferry Terminal, which docked every ten to twenty minutes, and passengers were in a hurry, some to Wall Street, some to Queens, or Staten Island.

……

After an hour-long morning workout, Gao Da Zhuang went to a "fixed-point" gym near the apartment clock tower building, where he was joined by personal trainer Tim? Physical recovery training with the help of Grover.

After an hour's lunch break, at about 2 p.m., Gao Dazhuang appeared on time at the training arena of the Barclays Center to participate in the team's joint practice.

As soon as he arrived at the arena, Gao Dazhuang suddenly found a long-lost figure, which was their core point guard - Deron Williams, who was shooting on the court at the moment.

"Hi Williams, welcome back," the tall man immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Gao, thank you, I'm proud of your performance during this time" Deron Williams also turned around and smiled and hugged Tall Strong.

"How? Is your foot fully recovered? Gao Dazhuang asked with concern.

"Everything is going well, but the team doctor said that it will take another week, but from now on, I will play with the team," Deron Williams said with a serious look at the tall man.

"That's great, we need you so much now," said Gao Da Zhuang sincerely.

"The current difficulties are only temporary, Gao, you are the most promising player I have ever seen, I will do everything I can to help you, I hope to form the strongest backcourt in the league with you," Deron Williams said sincerely.

"Yes, we want to be the strongest backcourt combination" Tall and Strong and Deron Williams' hands were tightly clasped together.

……

Despite suffering two consecutive defeats. But the atmosphere in the Brooklyn Nets is good, and the players' confidence has not been significantly affected.

The losing streak has only strengthened the desire of these young men to win, and they are desperate to beat their next opponent to end their losing streak.

What's more, Deron Williams, another core player in the team, appeared in the training hall today, and his appearance is definitely good news for the team, especially the scene where he and Gao Dazhuang have a good conversation, which has left a deep impact on all the players.

Although he didn't participate in high-intensity physical training, Deron Williams still participated in a three-point shooting competition within the team, and then modeled a few tall and strong singles styles, which made the training court have a lot of laughter.

Of course, Deron Williams has a bigger role. In the next 5v5 intra-team confrontation training. Deron Williams was joined by Coach Johnson to guide the details on the field.

Especially for Tall and Strong, Deron Williams seemed to pay special attention to it, and reminded Tall and Strong many times in the game, so Coach Johnson also shouted Delon Williams and Tall and Strong together several times to communicate.

According to Deron Williams. On the offensive end. Tall and strong is already one of the strongest beings in the alliance. But in terms of assists, tall and strong can do better.

Gao Dazhuang himself very much agrees with this view, in fact, in the last game against the Washington Wizards. Tall and strong did not have a single assist in the whole game, for which Coach Johnson once seriously criticized him.

And Gao Dazhuang himself also knows very well that excellent assist ability will make the opponent's defense take care of one or the other, in order to maximize his lethality, so Gao Dazhuang is also very humble to ask DeLong Williams.

……

The Brooklyn Nets opened up to the media for the last ten minutes today, and Deron Williams, who had not been seen for a long time, immediately became the target of reporters.

"I'm feeling really good right now, and I'm pretty sure my ankle won't break when I'm walking," Deron Williams smiled as he responded to reporters' questions.

Asked about his performance during this period, Deron Williams praised his young teammate: "There's no doubt that he has a chance to be one of the greatest players, his previous performances have been phenomenal, and can that rookie do better than him?" ”

"Of course, we know what we have to fight for as a team, what we do is stick together, tall or strong, I am, and then all we have to do is win after win," Deron Williams continued.

……

In today's final practice, Nets head coach Johnson also called the team's young big men Marcin Gortat, Chris Anderson, Timofey Mozgov, Reggie Evans, Kenneth Farried, and Chris Humphries for a traditional "low post defense no foul" drill.

Unlike usual, today's core guard of the Nets is also involved in this confrontation.

"They beat me all over the place," Gao Dazhuang said in an interview with reporters after training: "I tried to train in the low post with these big men, and tried to fight them on the inside, which was very interesting, I was a soy sauce player before training, and I can do these things after training."

"Different types of workouts for different types of games, I'm usually on the perimeter to shoot and shoot, but I can also play with the big guys on the inside, I like to get stronger, we're all getting better," and obviously the tall and strong statement also indicates that he will shift the focus from beyond the three-point line to the basket again.

The reporter also asked Gao Dazhuang about the recent situation of Delon Williams, Gao Dazhuang said: "I am very happy that he is back, he is a very important part of the team, and watching Delon play, it will help me grow into a better person and a better player, I can learn a lot from him, he never thinks about anything else on the court, he is focused on playing hard and winning." ”

"Today I told DeLong that I was afraid of shooting without feeling, I didn't want this to happen, but sometimes it happens, he told me, it's okay, go to jump 1,000 times a day, there will be a lot of misses, it's nothing, the important thing is what you can learn in it, now, I understand, there may be a few missed three-pointers in the game, but it shouldn't affect my confidence and condition, it gives me a lot of inspiration," Gao Dazhuang continued to reply.

Coach Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets also commented on Gao Dazhuang's training today: "Gao Dazhuang likes to play bullfighting, he wants to beat opponents, I always say to him, 'It's a shame that a guard is not strong inside', and then he goes against the inside players, Gao Dazhuang has enough strength and stamina, he keeps hitting these big men trying to beat them, although the process is difficult, but Gao Dazhuang enjoys this"

Finally, several new signings were also interviewed by reporters, and even Kawhai Leonard, who has always been a quiet talker, praised the team's training: "The intensity of the training today was fantastic, Coach Johnson found a balance between tactical guidance and maintaining intensity, I love it here" (to be continued......
