Li Ao practiced two sets of shots, Shelby Jordan came out after taking a shower and changing his clothes, and still greeted Li Ao politely, but he didn't say anything, and Li Ao also responded, as if the fight hadn't happened at the beginning.

Although he felt the pressure of involution, Li Ao did not stay to continue training, and after taking a good bath, he took the bus home.

In the training of basic defensive skills, he has reached the stage where he needs to have confrontation training, and it is half the effort to practice footsteps or something alone.

Shooting training, today's training volume is large enough, just practicing those two sets of shots, he felt that his hand shape has changed.

As for practicing others, he didn't learn professional training methods, and it was a way to figure it out on his own, but it was difficult to change his professional path when he got used to it.

Sometimes a blank slate is better to cultivate, and although Xavier Johnson encouraged him, he thought it was not unreasonable.

Enough rest is a better option for him, to be enthusiastic when it's time to train, and to rest when it's time to rest.

The main reason is that he has a different mentality from his teammates, not like Shelby Jordan, when Shelby Jordan was training today, he tried his best to perform what he was good at, and he was not good at paddling the whole process, nor was he like others to roll to death one by one.

Shelby Jordan is confident that he will be on the main team, and the others are squeezing their heads for the other 11 main spots, working harder than when they were 18 out of 50.

Li Ao is thinking about how to improve his ability more reasonably and effectively, and he also aims to become the main force, but for him, since he has entered the squad, it is possible to become the main force this season, and sooner or later, he is not in a hurry.

On the other hand, the coaching staff is also working overtime, from a while ago after the basic determination of the 18-man list, they have started the overtime mode, to make the run-in training after the squad, so that the tactical system is more perfect, more suitable for the existing lineup, although there will be preparation errors or deficiencies need to be adjusted in the run-in training, but the more fully prepared, the lower the probability of errors or deficiencies, and the preparation for the new season will be smoother.

While working overtime, they also paid attention to the situation of the players, and learned that Li Ao left after the training and did not stay to practice.

But on the second day, after watching Li Ao train with more enthusiasm and sufficient physical strength than others, the coaches chatted about it and easily analyzed Li Ao's thoughts.

There was no training scheduled on Tuesday, and no one who was not in the squad came, but only one person in the squad did not come — Shelby Jordan.

Yesterday there were many people who practiced too late, yesterday there was a company on the side of the main stadium rented to hold a press conference, it ended at half past nine, and the stadium closed at half past ten o'clock, and the people who practiced were driven away by the staff.

Suddenly raised the training intensity to such an extent, the other people who came to train today, whether it was the degree of dedication or the state of training, were very different from Li Ao.

Seeing Li Ao's efficient training performance from 4 to 6 o'clock, Kevin Henderson said to Henry Bibby: "This kid is not only talented, but also has a good brain, and can make more favorable decisions, I really want to see soon what he can grow up to in a year or two." ”

Xavier Johnson, who coached Li Ao's training, echoed: "Yes, if he drags his tired body to train like everyone else, it will not be a good thing for him who is laying the foundation." ”

Sam Hayes, who didn't talk much, also responded: "That's right. ”

Henry Beebe ignored the group, and at 6 p.m., when he was about to leave work, he came to the training ground and saw that the boy was gone.

He said to the players who were still practicing: "Tactical training will start tomorrow, you go back early to rest, so that your body can get enough rest, which will also help the training." ”

Everyone answered, saying they understood.

But not many decided to leave early.

This is not expected by Henry Bibby, he is not mandatory, nor is it mandatory, it is purely up to the players to judge.

Some people really need to be like Li Ao, and rest when they need to rest.

But there are also people who need instinctive training in a state of fatigue to enhance muscle memory.

So he just reminded me.

In this way, Li Ao, who entered the squad for the new season, has not changed his life rhythm, attending classes, training, occasionally cooking dinner with Vivian, and playing games on weekends to relax.

In terms of the team's training, starting this Wednesday, it will focus on tactical training.

Not only 18 of them trained, but other people also participated, of course, the tactics were learned, but only as a sparring partner.

In the team's training, everyone's role positioning is naturally different, and Li Ao's defense is mainly based on individual single defense; On the offensive side, his role is also very simple, finding space to stand and respond, looking for opportunities to cut to the basket with height and arm reach, and use more off-ball blocking on the wing, and nothing else.

This made Li Ao a little puzzled.

He is definitely not the main candidate, let alone the starter.

He is positioning him as 6 alternates in his heart, but he feels that his teammates who should also be on the waiting list, regardless of their strength, are arranged with more miscellaneous training content, and it can be seen that he is trying to see if there are more possibilities.

And what he was going to do was too simple, or too clear.

However, he didn't think about it, there are few training projects, and they are all projects that he has mainly developed in the past two months, which is just the right thing for him to continue to strengthen what he is good at.

Time passed, and on Thursday, November 11th, there was no team training today, but there were still 17 members of the squad who were training.

Li Ao is still practicing today, and after the regular training, he feels that he can practice for a while, so he invited the trainer to come to the small training ground together, and no one interferes with the training task.

He usually tries to complete training tasks, but never does it.

He's been in some improvement lately, and he's in great shape today, with a set of 50 shots and more than 35 hits, and he wants to try again.

There have been many failures, and his mentality has long been very peaceful, and the first goal, hitting 50 mid-range shots in 120 seconds, this goal can be completed early.

This time it went well, and after 102 seconds, it took 77 shots and 50 mid-range shots.

The shooting speed is faster than usual, so the shooting rate is a little worse than when I was training earlier.

There's no way, the ability is there, it's too long to shake before shooting, but this is something that needs to be considered in the future, and the basic skills have to be steady and steady.

Then there were 5 fixed-angle free-throw line shots, which were also no surprises, with a total of 50 shots and 39 shots, which is a high level of performance for him!

However, Goal 1 and Goal 2 were both completed by him, and Goal 3 was not completed once.

He came to the bottom right corner, signaled to the trainer, and began to catch and shoot.

The first point, in! Then he quickly moved to a 45-degree angle on the right side, and after receiving the ball, he quickly adjusted, from the previous shot to this shot, pressing within 3 seconds of the task.

This point was iron, but he didn't hesitate, and immediately moved his position the moment he landed after the shot, and went to the free throw line to catch the ball.

This kind of catch-and-shoot on the move, and the time requirement to change positions, is still very difficult for him, and it is difficult to ensure stability, so he can only try his best to shoot.

But today he was in good shape, and on his 47th shot, the shot at the free throw line, he was the most accurate, and he made the 25th shot in this group!

The next 45-degree angle on the left side and the bottom corner on the left side also hit all, 27 out of 50, and goal 3 is completed!

When the 27th shot fell into the frame, the mission prompt came.

“…… Goal 3: 27 shots in 50 shots, completed, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the level 1 mid-distance shooting training task, and today's mid-distance shooting training has obtained an additional 20% of the training results. ”

Li Ao was so excited when he saw the hint that he couldn't remember how many he had thrown, so he kept throwing them.

Fortunately, there were others next to him, so he froze.

Otherwise, a group of shots with such a dismal shooting rate would be so excited at the end of the training, and they would be taken for fools.

At this moment, it was as if an electric current was rushing into his body, but in an instant, this feeling disappeared.

He didn't know if it was an illusion or the effect of the 'extra training effect bonus', but it didn't matter, there were one and two, and he would know next training.

The trainer left first after he practiced these three sets of shots, but he stayed and practiced a few more sets, and today's training was in good shape, probably because of excitement and feeling a little bit of strength, after all, today a total of 1.6 times the efficiency of mid-range catch-and-shoot shots, until he clearly felt tired and left.

The next day, Friday, with only one class in the afternoon, he arrived early at the Memorial Stadium and started defensive training early.

The content of the training is precisely the task of single defense training.

Compared with shooting, it is more difficult to get started with single defense, Li Ao's single defense and mid-range shooting basically start training at the same time, but it takes significantly more time to get started with single defense.

Compared with a single mid-range catch-and-shoot shot, and it is a pure mid-range shot, without any independent offensive means, the basic skills of single defense are more comprehensive and complex, and his mid-range shooting level has always been ahead of the relatively more comprehensive and complex single defense.

However, relying on that period of time as a defensive sparring partner, the gap has been narrowing.

In the team's training in the past half month, the coaching staff arranged for him to focus on single defense.

Up to now, the comparison of the strength of these two aspects, Li Ao feels that there should not be much gap, and he may even be stronger than the mid-range shot.

Although he didn't want to believe it, he always wanted to be a player who integrated offense and defense, but in the end, he was weak and strong, and the gap was still widening.

Because of the offense, he only has catch-and-shoot shots......

He occasionally tries the single defense training task, but this task is more complex and difficult than the mid-shot training task, so he is not in a hurry, patiently polishing the basic skills, not every defensive training day will try, after being selected for the 18-man squad, he has been focusing on efficiency on the defensive training day, and he has not tried it for half a month.

I chose to try it this time because I had more time today, and I completed the training task for the first time yesterday, and I want to try it to see if it works, and if I fail anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat.

Compared with the shooting training task only 3 goals, the single defense task target as many as 8, and the middle shot into the feeling that it is best to train different, the single defense for physical strength requirements are higher, when the physical strength is sufficient, it must be better than when the physical strength declines, so he will take a break after the completion of each task goal, today he carried out the single defense training task, and spent a lot more time than yesterday for the shooting training task.

From traversing, sliding steps...... It took half an hour to intercept the ball and make a tackle in front of it.

However, this time he successfully accomplished all his goals!

When the last target is completed around the front steal training, the mission hint is coming!

“…… Goal 8: Roundabout the front steal...... Completed, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the Level 1 Single Defense Training Mission, and an additional 20% of the training results will be obtained for today's Single Defense Training. ”

Yesterday I finished the training task and was excited.

Today is a surprise!

Just give it a try, and you're done!

Half a month ago, when he tried occasionally, he would always get stuck at a certain target.

And he once tried each goal individually, although he knew the training content of each goal, but there were requirements such as time, efficiency, and times, and some goals were more difficult for him to complete.

So I tried every few days before, but they all failed.

This time, I didn't try it for half a month, and I succeeded once!

After the surprise, he looked back on the defensive training over the past few months and felt that this was the way it should be.

In a few individual defensive training sessions in team training, he has improved a lot.

He has experience now, and for a single training task like shooting, try it on a day when he is in good shape, and the single defense, which is more a test of comprehensive ability, if you can't complete it, you don't have to try so hard, it's better to practice for a period of time and then try, at least to avoid affecting your mood.

No matter what you do, if you fail, your emotions will always suffer.

In three months, he improved his mid-range shooting from a failing grade to 69, a speed that Xavier Johnson has been praising him, and he himself was pleasantly surprised.

Mid-range shooting talent, he is really good, plus learning the level 1 mid-distance catch-and-shoot training method, DeRozan's mid-range shooting action package, adding up to 40% of the training effect bonus, although his mid-range shooting is not very good, but three months of practice to today's level, can definitely be called leaps and bounds.

Now he has the ability to complete the catch-and-shoot training task, and can also get another 20% bonus to the training results.

He has become numb to the comprehensive evaluation that is not yet at the passing level.

Love what's going on.
