Hearing this white man's self-introduction, Chamberlain was stunned and asked in astonishment: "What did you say?" Your name is Eton LaVine? Is it Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony's trainer Eaton LaVine? ”

LaVine didn't care about the rude detail that he didn't reach out to shake his hand, he casually withdrew his hand, hugged his arms and smiled: "I think you should be talking about me, I am indeed a trainer, and I did train Chris Paul and Anthony's two children." ”

Getting the other party's affirmative answer, Chamberlain gasped, his previous guess about this little old man may be right, this guy is indeed not an ordinary cleaner, but a low-key predator-level figure, because ordinary people don't move a god like Eaton Lavin, and the cleaner is naturally even more immobile.

Eaton LaVine, a well-known trainer in American basketball, doesn't have much capital to get his hands on compared to his peers. He hadn't played basketball since middle school, never worked for any NBA team, didn't even have a license as a trainer, and didn't look like that piece of material.

His parents were from Russia and Israel, and he was not tall and did not look like an athlete, and he spoke and behaved more like a sociologist than a basketball expert. In fact, Chamberlain's impression of him at the beginning was correct, this guy was indeed a lawyer before he became a trainer.

But if you want to list the top trainers in the NBA, then LaVine will definitely be on the list, along with Maddy's trainer Wayne Hall, Ganon Baker, who has been repeatedly invited to major training camps, Jordan's royal trainer Tim Gulliver, and so on.

There are two kinds of trainers in the NBA, one is a trainer who is good at helping fledgling players polish their basic skills, and Ganon Baker is the best at this among the above figures, and he can always use the fastest time to train NBA rookies into veteran birds on the court; The other is a trainer who is good at training superstars, there are relatively few such trainers, but each of them is a well-known big name, and if you want to get the training of these people, you must not only have money, but also have an identity and be able to talk to them.

Although LaVine knew that Chamberlain had heard of him, he still made a simple self-introduction, and like ordinary Americans, he was not modest or subtle when introducing himself, but showed his achievements very generously, and finally said: "If it weren't for Mr. Gottlieb's invitation, I would have been going to Cleveland in a few days, LeBron James's agent has already negotiated a price with me, and I was going to train him." ”

Chamberlain nodded quickly and said to the old man, "I don't know what you call it?" Anyway, thank you for helping me connect with such a good trainer, but ...... Hehe. ”

The old man seemed to be in a hurry, and before Chamberlain finished speaking, he interrupted him with a flick of his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me, rookie, you just need to train hard and play well on the court." By the way, what do you mean by 'but'? ”

While talking about the old man, he sucked the juice that flowed to his fingers, and he didn't have the demeanor of a superior man at all, and Chamberlain had to wonder if these two people couldn't be a partner to deceive themselves, right?

This is not a needless worry on his part, you must know that NBA players have rich pockets, and in addition to ******** women, there are all kinds of liars around them, and their purpose is very consistent, that is, to get money from NBA stars.

Chamberlain spread his hands helplessly and said: "I shouldn't be able to pay LaVine's training fee, you may not know, I only signed a ten-day contract with the team." ”

The old man's words dispelled his doubts, and he waved his hand indifferently, and said heroically: "You don't have to worry about the training fee, it is his honor for this kid to train you, and he won't train you all the time, in half a month, when my daughter comes back from Switzerland, I will let her train you personally, only she can carve your piece of gold and jade into a shining baby." ”

Damn, let your daughter train me? Chamberlain thought about it for a long time, and he didn't think that there was a master aunt trainer in the sports world. There is no doubt that in the mouth of this little old man, his daughter is a more powerful existence than Eton LaVine.

But what is incredible is that after hearing the old man say this, Ravan did not refute, but nodded, and seemed to agree with the old man's words.

Chamberlain was full of doubts, but LaVine didn't give him much time, he first directed Chamberlain to do simple squats, frog jumps, and switchback runs to warm up, and then began to help him train.

LaVine took off his jacket to reveal a number zero jersey, which was the Golden State Warriors' home court style with the words 'SUPER-Z' printed on the back. Seeing this jersey, Chamberlain's blood immediately boiled, because this is his jersey, which shows that his jersey has appeared on the market and he is already a star with fans.

Seeing Chamberlain's changes, the little old man muttered while eating a hamburger: "Laven, this kid really has a set, a piece of clothing can scare this rookie, it seems that I have to let Winnie and him study "Psychology" hard." ”

LaVine warmed up Chamberlain, and he followed and said: "I've studied your video, Z, your strength, speed, explosiveness and even flexibility are amazing, and when I was studying your video, I was also studying LeBron James, the two of you are very similar, I can't imagine that there is such a good physical fitness of you in the world." And relatively speaking, you're even more shocking than James because you're taller than him. ”

Chamberlain listened to it with joy in his heart, damn, this guy doesn't know how good his training ability is, but he is quite good at talking.

LaVine changed his words and continued: "But you and James have the same problem, that is, your flexibility and coordination are too poor, and I can't bear to see it!" And in this regard, you are worse than James, in addition, James is 10,000 times stronger than you, that is, the control of the amount of force, flexibility needs to be trained for a long time, Winnie will train you in the future, so today I will first train you to control the amount of force, as well as offensive skills in the state of the ball. ”

Regardless of whether this LaVine's identity is true or not, his words are very reasonable, and Chamberlain's two biggest weaknesses have been revealed by him, one is the control of force, and the other is the pale offensive ability.

While Chamberlain was practicing his strength, LaVine placed more than twenty orange cones on the court, then called Chamberlain down, threw him a basketball, pointed to the cones and said, "You dribble the ball around these cones, remember, each one can't fall!" ”

After a pause, LaVine ignored the relaxed expression on Chamberlain's face and continued: "After the dribble, you have to make a layup and do it all over again. But you have to remember that every time you pass a cylinder, you change the way you dribble, such as a crotch, back, or stop. ”

The expression on Chamberlain's face suddenly changed from relaxed to depressed, and he exclaimed: "I'm an insider, a center, man, I can understand if you let me practice dribbling, but why do you have to practice so many ways to control the ball?" Also, you're here tonight to help me practice mastering my power and my ability to shoot accurately, not practicing these bullshit dribbles! ”

LaVine had a good temper, and his order was questioned by Chamberlain, but he still kept smiling and said: "You have a problem that you haven't thought clearly, Z, your shooting accuracy is too poor, not only because you can't control the force well, but also because your body is too stiff, and you want to get the ability to shoot accurately, it's not a matter of one or two days, I'm going to train you now, is to let you try to get into the restricted area better and faster with the ball and approach the hoop, understand?" The closer you get to the hoop, the better your dunk ability will be. ”

Oxlade-Chamberlain's possession is okay, but it's certainly not as good as a defender, and LaVine is right to say that, if he can dribble through his interior defense, it will be tantamount to developing offensive ability, and the role model for this is Shaun Kemp at his peak.

'Rain Man' Sean Kemp's mid-range shots, hook hands and even back hits are terrible, but this guy has good dribbling skills, even if there is no defender, let him dribble the ball himself, he can easily enter the restricted area, and then come to a hot dunk.

After thinking about it, Chamberlain began to train, but as soon as he got the ball and ran forward, LaVine suddenly asked: "Rookie, what are my fingers?" ”

Chamberlain was inexplicable, raised his head and glanced at Lavin, and said, "Of course it's two, what's the ...... Shit, damn it! ”

At the moment when Chamberlain raised his head, LaVine stretched out his index and middle fingers with his left hand, and with a lift of his right foot, he kicked the ball right on the ground, kicking the ball away.

"Fail to dribble and start all over again." Ravan said calmly.

Chamberlain was depressed and said helplessly: "What are you kidding? It's obvious that you kicked my ball away, okay? It's kicking the ball! ”

Still calm, Ravan said, "Is that so?" But I know that NBA players have a much faster hand than my foot. So, if you can't even avoid my feet, then you don't need to train, because when you dribble on the court, you will be easily tackled by your opponent. ”

I have to admit that what Lavin said was completely right, and Chamberlain had no choice but to start from scratch. The little old man watched with a smile on his stomach as he ate a hamburger, and seemed to be very happy to watch, and occasionally cheered a few times, of course, in Chamberlain's opinion, it was all applause, because the little old man cheered when LaVine kicked the ball in his hand away.

Throughout the night, Chamberlain had been practising various ways to dribble the ball forward, and LaVine had been walking around him, occasionally asking him to see the number of his fingers, and then taking the opportunity to kick the ball in his hand, whether he said the wrong number of fingers or said it too late or lost the ball, he had to start all over again.

LaVine lets him see his fingers to train him to move forward with the ball at eye level, and kicks the ball to train him to dodge with the ball.

I don't know how long Lu Dao has been training, Laven blew his whistle and said with a smile: "Okay, the first training session is over here, you take a break and eat something first, if I didn't guess, you haven't had dinner yet, right?" ”

Chamberlain was sweating profusely, not only from exertion, but also because of nervousness and unwillingness, training with LaVine was even more tiring than against Duncan. All you need to do is get your blood boiling and rush upwards, and you have teammates to help you, but this kind of training can only rely on himself, and LaVine's constant trash talk interferes with his emotions and makes him very tired.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with a T-shirt, Chamberlain said helplessly: "You guessed it, I really didn't eat dinner." ”

"I'm not guessing, but seeing it with my eyes," Ravan smiled, "and there's a pretty girl who brings you dinner, and she's taken so many dishes that it's obviously more than just a supper." ”

Chamberlain raised his head in surprise and saw Li Qun, who was dressed in a white dress, sitting next to the little old man and chuckling at him, and beside the two of them, a large Chinese lunch box was placed on the floor.

Seeing this, a surprise appeared in Chamberlain's heart, his tired body was full of strength again, and he ran up with a fart, and asked happily: "Li Qun?" What are you doing here? ”

The little old man also said happily: "This girl has been here for a long time, Z, this little girl is good, just a little worse than my daughter." ”
