Chapter 005: Setting Goals

In New York, Joey wakes up early, the family business is not easy, and he needs to study hard. While eating breakfast, Joey habitually browsed Youtobe's popular videos of the day on the Internet, and was accidentally attracted by the label of "Lakers, 23 shots and 23 shots, mysterious master".

And then the video brought him no less shock than eating a fly in a hamburger, until today he found out that his good friend who had played since childhood had such a hand, and he couldn't be curious about why the fly appeared in the burger, Joey took out the phone and called his friend.

Li Chen was sleeping soundly in bed, and in his dream he was making out with Amy, seeing that someone's purpose was about to succeed, and an inopportune ringtone pulled him back from his sleep.

"Hey, who's going to die if you call later, so early in the morning that you can't let people sleep?" Whoever sleeps soundly and dreams is sweet and is woken up by someone will not have a good attitude.

"Hey, Cruz, I saw the video, when did you become so violent? The Lakers players have been abused by you, 23 of 23 shots, you have become a superman? ”

Joey doesn't care whether Li Chen sleeps or not, thinking that when he was young, he got a skunk and threw it on the sleeping Cruze bed, and smoked the latter so much that he didn't have the face to go out to see people for a week, and the two fought no less than 10 times because of this, even if Joey mentions it now, Cruze will simply turn his face.

"Uh, video, what's the video?" Li Chen was a little baffled, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked Joey, "Could it be that last night's incident was spread on the Internet?" The one that shot? ”

"yes, that's it, when did you become so good, although I knew you could play basketball, but I never heard of you being so perverted?"

"Hehe, I'm a low-key person, if that guy wasn't too arrogant this time, I wouldn't want to make a move." This lied without gasping.

"Low-key?" Joey pursed his lips, as if he had never seen this guy low-key in his memory, "Eh, I said, since you are so powerful, why don't you go to the NBA, I don't think Ray Allen may be as accurate as you." ”

Joey's praise made Li Chen interested, "That's it, the shooting machine knows no, it's me." The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he continued, "But I've thought about it in the NBA, I have this plan, it's too boring to stay in a bar all the time, be a big star to play, what do you think?" ”

Although he felt a little helpless about his friend's shamelessness, Joey still supported his decision 100%, it was a pity not to go to the NBA with such a good talent, so for the sake of his friend's enthusiasm, Joey also made a very tempting proposal.

"Eh, you go to the NBA to mix well, and when you mix well, I'll let my old man find you an endorsement, you also know that my old man is in the gym equipment business, if you really play well, I will definitely be able to get you a big contract."

"Okay." Money is the most direct for Li Chen, "You also work hard to take over your father's business as soon as possible, and when I become famous and rich, I will directly invest in business with you." ”

"Haha, then hurry up, I may take over the old man's business at any time, it depends on his mood, I don't plan to go back to the bar, you look at it, if you are interested, continue to open, if you are not interested, sell it directly, we will split the account."

The two went from all-star chatter to championship MVP, and they chatted for a while before hanging up. Li Chen touched his face with a hint of incredulity, "Hehe, I'm actually famous!" ”

The video storm was hyped by the media for a week before it stopped, and many fans who were idle in the offseason also paid attention to it, especially the local fans in Los Angeles.

Li Chen didn't expect that someone really took this seriously, the Lakers and Clippers in Los Angeles sent someone to find him and sent him a trial invitation, hoping that he could find time to participate in the team's trial. However, Li Chen didn't make a decision immediately, just said that he would think about it.

I called Amy, "Amy, the Lakers and Clippers have invited me to a tryout, I'm ready to go to the NBA, what do you think?" ”

"Oh my God, Cruz, you're amazing! I think I'll have a big star as a boyfriend soon. Hahaha...... "Amy seems to be more excited than the person concerned, although she saw her boyfriend defeat the professional player in the NBA, she never thought that Li Chen would have the idea of going to play in the NBA.

"Yes", Li Chen said with a smile, "Soon I will be a big star, when the time comes, if you are short of money, come directly to me for an autograph and then sell it to your classmates from the school, I will give you as many signatures as you want, haha." ”

"Hmph, it's not the autographs of the main players, and no one in the school wants them."

"I'm an All-Star, I'm going to get ready for a tryout so you can sell my autograph, and I can't wait for a nutritious lunch Emmy." Li Chen had already decided to make a training plan for himself.

"Well, come on. Bye-bye ......"

Referring to his own data, Li Chen began to think, his current ability is basically more than 60 points except for the full value of shooting, and it is impossible to improve everything in a short period of time, so he can only concentrate on improving one ability first.

All things considered, he finally decided to try to improve his speed, as long as the speed was up, then he could rely on his speed to run and get open spots, so that he could easily get the chance to score. Of course, Li Chen knows that running positions can't be done with speed alone, and agility also has a lot to do with it, but in comparison, instead of improving rebounds, dunks, or strength, it's better to have speed. Waiting for the speed to go up, combined with his own shooting ability, plus other items, although it is not high, it is better than nothing.

Li Chen feels that his current best template should be former All-Star Peja Stojakovic, who was also an All-Star regular at his peak, and was selected as an All-Star three times in 02, 03, and 04 in the most gorgeous years of the Kings, and his excellent three-point ability made the rest of the league suffer.

Li Chen's current characteristics are somewhat similar to Peja's, both have excellent shooting ability, but seriously lack the ability to attack with the ball, and can only be an excellent finishing player, rather than the offensive core of the team that initiates attacks and creates opportunities.

Peja's strengths are his height and excellent air-cut runs, and his height of 208 allowed Peja to often be the best defender in his prime. In contrast, although Li Chen is not tall enough, he has a better or the best vision in the league.

From the moment his hand touched the basketball, Li Chen knew that he had the biggest bug in the game - all-weather vision, 360 degrees without dead ends, just like building a spy satellite for himself when he was playing the red police. It's not that he can see 360 degrees with his eyes, so he will become a new generation of Spider-Man, but as long as he is on the basketball court, he can easily feel the position of his teammates, a bit like the legendary sixth sense.

Under this kind of perverted vision, more than 60 passes are obviously enough for him to get alive, and Li Chen can take on the responsibility of an open shooter while also organizing and connecting the team to a certain extent, which is incomparable to Peja.

Besides, such as more than 60 layups, more than 60 rebounds, more than 60 blocks, more than 60 dribbles, more than 60 strength, etc., Peja does not necessarily have Li Chengao, especially Peja's 2.1 meter big man averages less than 0.2 blocks per game, which makes the league more embarrassed than his shooting.

Even Peja can get the top salary and mix with the All-Star, Li Chen feels that how can he not be compared to him, not to mention that it is only the first year of him, and when he is fully mature, what Jordan, Kobe, James and the like are all floating clouds. Of course, Li Chen must clearly realize that he is not familiar yet.

The goal is set, but the question is what kind of training method should be used to improve the speed, is it difficult to run all over the field, or meditate quietly and silently recite "increase speed" in the heart, that is too nonsense......

Li Chen slandered the god of crossing in his heart, "Anyway, you also let me travel over to play basketball, don't say anything to get me something like the 'superstar system' or the 'emperor system', no matter what, you have to send me an attachment to the training program, what are you going to do?" ”

After thinking for a long time but having no clue, the male pig's foot had to open the nirvana artifact, and he was deeply aware of the "internal affairs do not decide to ask Baidu, and foreign affairs do not decide to ask Google" He pinned his last hope on the search artifact Google, typed "basketball speed training" in the search bar, clicked OK, and then waited for the search results that were about to pop up with anticipation.

"Wow, Google, I love you to death!" Li Chen took a bite of the computer, and a conspicuous title in the first column of the search results - "Basketball Speed Training Skills", carefully clicked open, and Li Chen began his own speed journey.

What exactly is speed on the basketball court? Basketball is a "chaotic" sport in which you need the ability to accelerate quickly, often in a non-linear motion.

For example, in a game, you may need to work hard to accelerate to the left near baseline to block your opponent, and if you get the ball after they miss a shot, then you need to dribble immediately, change direction, use your speed to launch a fast break, accelerate to the free throw line of the opponent's court, and if you are fast enough, you can stay in that spot for a short time and shoot within 15 feet with ease. That's basketball speed.

Because basketball speed depends on the ability to accelerate, reaction time is a combination of effect. It stands to reason that we should improve on both of these main areas. However, we have to clearly realize that reaction time depends largely on genes, and training for reaction time can only be a waste of time.

Therefore, it is still more practical for us to improve our acceleration ability. Accelerated training is based on overcoming your own weight and inertia as quickly as possible. The key to overcoming the effects of your own weight is to become stronger. When you gain strength, your body becomes lighter for you. Toughness makes you more agile and mobile.

There are two things that should be done to overcome the second constraint. First, do sprint training. But this sprint training is not a sprint in the usual sense, you need to run as hard as you can for a certain amount of time, then take a short break, and then continue the sprint training.

Speed in real basketball also requires extremely high quality, so the role of rest in a dash run is also magnified. Moderately longer breaks ensure that you don't get tired after a high-speed run just over.

Suppose that if you are still in a state of fatigue before the next sprint run, you will not be able to use your true sprint prowess. Then you may only be able to exert 80~90% of your true running ability in the future. In order to be faster, we need 100% performance. The second thing we need to do is what people usually call basketball sprints. With this training, you'll be able to move more comfortably on the basketball court with the ball, choose some dribbling techniques that you like, and then train them repeatedly and take care to increase your speed as much as possible.

When we're on a real basketball court, you might use shorter breaks in your training to simulate a real game environment in order to make our training more effective. But, no matter what, you have to give 100% of your training.

Li Chen began to have a clearer understanding of the problems he was facing, and the next thing to do was to conduct planned training.
