Chapter 18 Training is an eternal summer!
The hot summer is always easy to make people forget the troubles in their hearts, this is a man's carnival, but also a group of ignorant teenagers to enlighten the season.
Compared with spring, when everything recovers, summer is more like a day close to people's lives, accepting the embrace of nature, spotless, and making people think about it.
However, for basketball players, training is a constant theme of summer,
The players will spend the whole summer working on their rusty bodies and making them shine brightly in the new season.
Making the most of the offseason is a lesson that every NBA player must learn.
However, not everyone is able to do the seemingly simple job well.
Los Angeles, a private training camp, Lin Mu is sweating and sweating muscle training, two months have passed since the end of Kobe Bryant's training camp, and in the past two months, Lin Mu has been polishing his body and exercising his basketball skills every day.
Taking advantage of the break, Lin Mu clicked on his personal attribute panel.

The growth of personal attributes is slow, the offensive end is still stable, and if you want to rely on offensive attributes to step into the NBA, you can't say that there is little hope, you can only say that there is no hope.
The most improved attributes are the [Movement] and [Strength] attributes, which are already up to the quasi-All-Star standard, and the [Defense] attributes are also growing steadily, so it is not a problem at all to start with a mixed team.
Functional pulling, offensive end pulling crotch!
This is Lin Mu's summary of himself.
Of course, this is not the result that Lin Mu wants to see, he wants to participate in the attack on the court more than defense.
Offensive players are always in the spotlight, and offensive shootouts are far more exciting than defensive shootouts, and while both produce the same results, that's what one would expect.
The era of small ball is coming, the league rules are being revised, and the trend of offensive basketball is coming soon.
Three-point shooting is about to become the focus of attention, and the league's changes to the rules of the court are a perfect verification of the future development trend.
Defense can win championships, but offense can win more box office!
In the business league, you can never escape the word money, there is only one team that can win the championship every year, you can't let other teams drink the northwest wind, right?
Lin Mu deeply understood the truth, but the offense was too difficult for him now.
"It's okay, I'm still young, I'm not going to be like Ben Simmons, shooting or something, sooner or later I'll practice it!"
Nothing happens overnight, and progress is slow, but it pays off, and one day you'll be amazed by your presence.
"Forget it, let it be."
The offensive end made slow progress, and Lin Mu had to use more intense training to numb himself.
Meantime...
"TMD, don't lie down! Get up and train! ”
"Yes, that's you, DeMar DeRozan!"
Looking at DeRozan, who was lying down in a large shape next to him, Lin Mu was angry.
And the young man with a small head in the distance, it takes so much effort to lift a dumbbell, do you think you are a primary school student?
On the third day after Kobe Bryant's training camp ended, Lin Mu received calls from DeRozan and Thompson.
The two showed a strong desire to train with them on the phone.
Obviously, they who had tasted the sweetness were obviously a little uncomfortable after leaving Lin Mu.
Whether it is training intensity, physical recovery, or training enthusiasm, the two of them have been greatly discounted after leaving Lin Mu.
After learning that Lin Mu did not return to Huaxia but stayed in Los Angeles to train, Thompson immediately proposed the idea of training together.
Lin Mu only trained in an ordinary training hall before, after all, with ordinary family conditions, it was difficult for him to go to those high-end places.
As for DeRozan...
DeRozan was born in the slums of the United States, and grew up surrounded by drugs and violence.
Everyone lives in slums, so why should you say that my family is "worthless"?
Because DeRozan's family is not only poor, but also has a bunch of brothers and sisters, and both parents are seriously ill.
First of all, DeRozan's father suffers from severe kidney disease, kidney disease, especially severe nephritis, which cannot be cured at all, even if DeRozan has the money to replace his father's kidney later, the new kidney may not be able to match the original patient's body, and the patient will have a lot of adverse reactions.
DeRozan's mother, who had horrible lupus erythematosus, was no better. What is the specific situation of lupus erythematosus, everyone knows that it is very scary, don't go to Baidu to learn about it, so as to save yourself from being scared when you see it.
And DeRozan is a good boy, he didn't mix with those bad boys in the slums since he was a child, practiced by himself, and secretly learned his skills.
DeRozan usually trains in the school's training hall, and as the core of the team, he is eligible to use the school's training grounds for free at any time.
However, none of these problems were a problem in Thompson's eyes!
He spent money when he was young, and contracted all the expenses of Lin Mu and DeRozan in the personal training gym, anyway, there was no need to buy marijuana, and the pocket money was enough for the three of them to squander.
And Michael Thompson, after seeing Clay work so hard, waved his hand and doubled his pocket money directly!
Good guys, isn't the money to wash your feet coming?
Therefore, in order to repay Thompson's kindness, Lin Mu has been practicing Thompson in tricks for the past two months, and he has no idea of going out to fool around at all.
Coupled with the effect of [Super Double], Thompson and DeRozan's physical fitness and basketball skills have increased a lot compared to two months ago!
Whereas!
Another little friend, Stephen Curry, was not so lucky.
Compared to the three guys who are all in Los Angeles, Curry, who went to Davidson College to report in advance, can only stay in school and train with the team.
It is conceivable that the effect is definitely not as good as that of these two brothers, so Curry complained on the phone, thinking that the people in the school team were boring and ignorant, and they didn't even arrange a foot-washing activity.
In a hurry, in a hurry, in the summer of 2007, in addition to hard and hard training, Kobe Bryant's trade request to the Lakers undoubtedly dropped a bombshell for the sweltering season!
PS: Hehe, there are a lot of handsome people who read books...
