Chapter 54 Comprehensive Improvement
Just a few days after the start of the training camp, many players began to complain.
Maybe it's because the other teenagers in the training camp are still young, but Gao Dazhuang feels that this is a shocking education, which is very rewarding, Gao Dazhuang has never received such systematic training.
As the head coach of the training camp, Coach O'Connor, an old American man, trains meticulously, and can even be said to be harsh.
Now some students have started to register for illness, and some students have begun to have problems with their concentration and physical performance in the training camp.
Of course, some students are too young, go out for the first time, don't sleep at night, and don't sleep until one or two o'clock in the room, which is even more self-inflicted.
The tall and strong roommate 15-year-old Qin Hongjin is a typical representative.
In response to this situation, Coach O'Connor, the commander-in-chief of the training camp, further increased the amount of training and mercilessly "trained" the students until they went to bed at night.
If you don't train and don't work hard, you are serious on the surface, but you are actually lazy, these can't escape his eyes.
O'Connor, who used to be the assistant coach of the NBA's Denver Nuggets, will see what tricks the players will play to escape training.
Not only him, but the coaches he brought with him are all experienced in training young players.
The atmosphere of today's training is actually a bit hot, coach O'Connor is a little moved, and the other translators and assistant coaches are also a little angry, and they all start to curse.
In fact, this is a good thing, it means that everyone is very devoted, and Tall and Strong actually likes this, this is the real training camp.
The coach of the tall and strong squad is Donovanadolphus, Blythe Donovan? Bryce, who is also a well-known coach, was a teacher to Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Paul Pearce, Tyshawn Prince and the Collins brothers.
Maybe it's because Tall and Strong is an older player in training camp, maybe Tall and Strong is from CUBA, maybe it's because he sees Tall and Strong's potential, or maybe it's Coach Aaron McCarthy who said hello.
Gao Dazhuang felt that he was being taken care of "specially", that is, both Coach O'Connor and Coach Bryce were very strict with Gao Dazhuang, and of course, they spent a lot of time on Gao Dazhuang.
In the training camp, a squad competition is underway, and the second squad where Gao Dazhuang is located plays against the seventh squad.
"Stop" is tall and strong, and after a quick win in the team group confrontation, he was called a timeout by Coach Bryce solemnly.
"What's the matter with you? Didn't I just explain to you what to look out for in this aggro combo? Coach Bryce yat the tall man through an interpreter.
"Sorry" is tall and strong, his brain is a little confused, wasn't that ball a beautiful layup just now?
"In the three-line fast break just now, the best stop position for you as the middle pass is near the free throw line, and then pass the ball to the players on the wings who follow up on the layup, instead of facing a player who is more than a level weaker than you and forcing the layup with your body. Why emergency stops? That is, in actual combat, if the opponent has already dropped out, then the ball handler needs to hold the ball and jump near the free throw line, and the shooting percentage here will be higher. But if you're not in that position, but cut deeper, you don't have much room to pass the ball, or you're being hit with the ball, or you're hitting the muzzle of an opposing defender. Do you understand? Coach Bryce said sternly.
Seeing that the tall and strong eyes were a little dazed, Coach Bryce continued: "You have to dump everything in your head. You didn't pour the water out of the cup. In this way, how can we absorb better knowledge? I hope that you can treat yourself as a blank slate and accept the educational content of these coaches, so that you can progress and learn quickly, and I hope that you can achieve all-round improvement in this training camp."
"Yes, Coach," said Tall and Strong, who still quite recognized Coach Bryce.
In the past few days, Coach Bryce has almost become his own full-time coach, and when guiding the basic skills of tall and strong, Coach Bryce requires tall and strong to learn the basic skills of all positions.
According to him, it's not that guards don't have to learn to block people and ask for the ball in the low post, and centers don't have to practice dribbling. Because, at this stage, American players don't care what position you play, the basic skills are to be the basic skills of each position. You know the basic movements of each position, so that you can do how to attack and defend well.
Through the training in the past few days, Gao Dazhuang found that American coaches have many characteristics: first, they require details, down to the same action, and a Chinese coach can teach something completely different from what an American coach teaches.
The second is to strictly abide by discipline, especially for being late (ironclad heavy punishment), casual attitude, not serious in practice, not having a good mental state, etc., are all within the scope of discipline.
The third is that they won't look at how many points you score, they will only look at whether you are doing the right thing at the right time.
Fourth, they are very demanding of a team mentality, for them, the players on the pitch are all equal. Even if you're very strong, they won't give in to the players' temper when they break the rules or discipline.
In addition to the basic skills training, a few squad confrontation games were also organized occasionally, and Gao Dazhuang did not fire all the firepower, but kept practicing the basketball concept of talent in actual combat, and consolidated the basic skills on the court.
But Tall and Strong is still the most eye-catching one in terms of physical fitness and skills and tactics, and no one can beat him.
The tall and strong squad has not yet suffered defeat.
When the team is in crisis and teammates don't know what to do, they will be willing to give the ball to Gao Dazhuang to deal with, and when everyone can play, Gao Dazhuang will not be selfish.
Through the confrontation of the detachment, Gao Dazhuang also got to know several roommates better.
Zhao Tianyi is tall, but his basic skills are very solid, his center's offense under the basket is relatively stable, the basket is also good, and there is a lot of cover and defense.
Qin Hongjin's sense of the ball should be top-notch in the training camp, fast, good dribbling, and accurate passing, but his shooting options may be a little weaker, especially when he is in a team confrontation, when his teammates do not play well, he will start to can't help but solve it by himself, but he does not have the ability to fight alone like tall and strong.
Peng Yijia, who is inconspicuous, has attracted the attention of tall and strong in another way: defense, Peng Yijia is now studying in a secondary school, playing on the school team and captain.
Yang Yankun's impression of Gao Dazhuang is that he can dunk, has good bounce power, and loves to show himself, his body shape is very good, he is currently only in his third year of junior high school, although he said that he is playing guard, but in Gao Dazhuang's opinion, he does not have a lot of guard skills, most of them are small forwards or even big forwards.
It has the advantage of being in good shape, with long arms and good rebounding. The disadvantage may be that it is because he is still young, and Yang Yankun plays ball as a common problem of young players: cerebral congestion.
Once the "addiction" hits, there is only the basket and no teammates in the eyes.
This is not? Yang Yankun is ready to go it alone again.
Imagining the change in Coach Bryce's face at this time, Gao Dazhuang couldn't help yelling at Yang Yankun: "Here."
Through his own strength, Gao Dazhuang has completely defeated other roommates in all aspects, and has also established his absolute authority.
Yang Yankun passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang, who took advantage of a back-to-back pass and passed the ball to Zhao Tianyi, who was in a better position, and Zhao Tianyi made an easy layup.
In the next game, Gao Dazhuang did not rely on his body to eat his opponent, but fully mobilized his teammates.
After 20 minutes of confrontation, the second squad defeated the opponent by a large score.
At the end of the day's training, it was just as Tall and Strong packed his things and prepared to go back to the dormitory.
"Da Zhuang, let's talk a few words" Coach Bryce sat down next to Gao Da Zhuang.
"Yes, Coach," replied the tall man politely.
"I've heard that you have a lot of potential, and he's very optimistic about you," Coach Bryce said slowly.
Sure enough, Coach Aaron McCarthy of the Parklane Basketball Club greeted the American coach at the training camp.
"You are indeed a player with great potential, you have more opportunities to achieve higher achievements than other teenagers, I will ask more for you" Coach Bryce said with concern, "Your current personal ability is top in the training camp, but you still need to strengthen a few points: one is to help teammates improve, sometimes, teammates do not play well, it is not his technical problems, especially this kind of training camp where you don't know me before, and I don't know you, he doesn't know what you are used to when he wants to cooperate with you, and then he beats him, If you hit yours, it will become a mess. Try to get your teammates to adapt, or you to adapt to your teammates, so that everyone can play at a rhythm, that's the whole. A good player can adjust himself and help his teammates improve, instead of complaining about how bad they are. The second is to make your teammates like to play with you and trust you, which is very important. Team harmony is very important, if there is a problem, don't solve it yourself, find a team to solve it, no one will want to lose if they stand on the field."
"Understood, thank you coach, I will work hard" Gao Dazhuang thanked.
