The chat with Karen Inia the day before did not delay Li Yang's training the next morning, but Li Yang's training time was slightly compressed the next morning, because there was no game that day, and Popovich also arranged team training in the afternoon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's intra-team training was relatively simple, Popovich did not arrange intra-team confrontation, just the players trained freely under the guidance of the assistant coach.

When assistant coach Chad Fusier found him, Li Yang was working on his dribble layup, and he is now trying to add some change of direction to the breakthrough layup, but the dribble change direction is not so easy to master, especially since his impact speed is so fast, which requires him to combine dribbling and speed very well.

"Yang!" Li Yang stopped when he heard Chad Fucier call himself, and the assistant coaches of the team today are guiding the players to train from time to time, and Li Yang was not too surprised that Chad Fucier stopped him.

Chad Faucier joined the Spurs' coaching staff in '07, and his usual job is to be responsible for player development, and together with Brett Brown, he is responsible for the development and development of young players, and it can be said that the growth of young players at the Spurs has a large part of his credit.

"Chad!" stopped training and walked to Chad Fusier's side, and Li Yang greeted the other party.

Chad Flucier nodded and asked straight to the point, "Young, in the game against the Bulls, you missed three shots under the basket, and after the game we thought you had a problem with your offense under the basket. And then Pop decided to start you and put you more in the shoes of the Clippers, and I think in the game you felt the defensive pressure and you missed five shots under the basket. ”

Chad Fusier said as he said that Li Yang, who had a little smile after greeting the other party, had no smile on his face at all, and his expression began to become serious.

"Have you analyzed why that's happening? You're very physical, but when you get into the three-second zone and you're facing defense, you don't shoot very much, and if you don't count dunks, you're shooting less than 50 percent in the three-second zone in those two games. ”

Li Yang raised his head in surprise and glanced at Chad Fusier, and then he quickly realized that there was nothing wrong with the data that the other party said, which made his expression more and more serious.

Li Yang really didn't think about his shooting percentage in the three-second zone before, because of a lot of dunks, the overall shooting rate in the three-second zone when he played in the Development League was not bad, and the same was true for a few NBA games, probably the shooting rate was lower in one or two games, which obviously did not attract Li Yang's own attention.

"Well, Yang, we know you didn't notice the problem. Chad Fusier wasn't here for a Q&A today, he didn't wait for Li Yang to think about the answer, so he continued.

"Young, you have excellent physical fitness, and you also have a very good foundation, and our opinion on how you can improve yourself at this stage is to improve your shooting percentage when you break through to the three-second zone, so that you can play more with the impact of the basket, I want to hear your opinion. ”

"I'm in favor!" Li Yang nodded, this is actually the same goal he set for himself before, he will definitely improve himself in shooting in the future, but at this stage, if he wants to bring greater help to the team, get more stable playing time, and strengthen his finishing ability after breaking through is indeed the best choice.

Seeing Li Yang nodding in agreement, Chad Fusier immediately said, "Okay, then in the next time, we will conduct targeted training for you according to the plan that has been made." First of all, Matt [Matt Herring, the strength and conditioning coach] will help you build some muscles and strengthen your upper limbs, and then you need to work with me to learn how to maintain consistency on the layup when you have a physical confrontation. ”

"Okay!" Li Yang responded, and the serious expression on his face just now had disappeared at this time, replaced by a face full of anticipation.

Before entering the NBA, he was always looking forward to entering the NBA to get more systematic training, because he firmly believed that it would be much better than his own training.

The NBA not only represents the highest level of basketball competition in the world, but also the highest level of training in the world, and the training level of the Spurs coaching staff is among the best in the league.

Now that the Spurs coaching staff has formulated a targeted training plan for themselves, Li Yang believes that his ability will definitely usher in a qualitative leap.

However, Li Yang also knows that although Chad Fucier only said the direction of the entire training in one sentence, Li Yang will not think that it is all so simple.

In fact, it is true, although the direction of training is a word, but the plan made by the coaching staff is not simple at all.

First of all, the team doctor and trainer Will Severn formulated his physical strengthening plan for Li Yang, and Li Yang should have strict regulations on the amount and type of food he should consume every day, which is to increase his meat.

Then the physical trainer Matt Herring will arrange the daily training amount for Li Yang according to Li Yang's diet and his own situation, so that what Li Yang ingests can be converted into muscles.

At the same time, Chad Fucier will also give Li Yang confrontation training, from the aspects of no ball, dribbling, layup, etc., to train Li Yang's stability in physical confrontation.

Of course, this kind of training can't be described in just a few words. What kind of equipment training should Li Yang do at what time, and how to enhance the balance of the body when fighting, such training is very systematic and professional.

This kind of systematic training is also something Li Yang has never experienced before, for a while, he is new and expectant, he very much wants to see what kind of changes he will have after completing such intensive training.

But at the same time, Li Yang is also very clear that the improvement of his ability depends on how hard he trains. Because the training plan was formulated in great detail, so detailed that the training time that Li Yang had maintained before was full, Li Yang also took the initiative to extend the training time, and during the training process, as long as his body still allowed, Li Yang would ask several assistant coaches in charge of training to practice.

Li Yang's physical quality is indeed amazing, even so good that it is beyond the expectations of several assistant coaches, after seeing that Li Yang can endure hardships so much, and his body can really stand it, several people have also adjusted the training plan to improve Li Yang's training intensity.

Under such circumstances, Li Yang's progress is naturally faster than the Spurs coaching staff expected.
