After the warm-up morning run, Xu Yong went to a small training room he rented outside the school and officially started today's training.

The three practice times are from 4:30 to 6 in the morning, 3 to 4:30 in the afternoon, and 9 to 11 in the evening.

The reason for this arrangement is that a rest period of 4~6 hours can relieve muscle fatigue to the greatest extent.

And there are other things interspersed with these trainings, such as 7:30 am for the Devils' joint practice time, and 9:30 pm to 2:30 pm for cultural classes.

In addition to training, he also has a plan for the training content of each exercise.

The first exercise, the main content is core strength training.

There are many ways to train core strength, but he chose the ones that are more common to basketball players, such as pull-ups, planks, kneeling with the ball, and bending legs and getting up.

Of course, before these trainings begin, he will do joint stretching, skipping rope, and throwing rope to awaken the muscles.

That's why he has to rent a room off-campus to train, because it requires some equipment, and the gym won't be open so early.

The second practice is mainly three-point shooting.

The purpose of training the three-point shot is not only because it is his weakness, but also because as a reborn, he knows the importance of the three-point shot in basketball in the future.

This not only determines his performance in varsity basketball, but also affects the length of his career.

Again, before this training begins, he goes to the gym for strength training.

At this time, strength training is not core strength, but the whole body, in order to further enhance explosiveness.

Normally, he will go through the following training process: 80 kg barbell bench press warm-up, 40 kg barbell curl start, then 80 kg back neck squat, rubber band hand and foot stretch, 40 kg deadlift, and finally end with a 20 kg weight-bearing step.

His shooting drills follow these drills because it simulates his physical condition after a fierce game and allows him to adapt to the high intensity of the game.

It was also the hardest part of the day, as the muscle soreness caused by strength training made every shot he threw like a shot put.

The third part of the training will be more comprehensive, covering core strength, shooting and ball control.

Normally, he will go to the arena first for some core strength training that does not require the aid of equipment.

He then trains with a ball that is four to five times heavier than a basketball, passing the ball to the wall and hitting the ground with both hands.

The purpose of this part is to make the basketball as light as possible in his own senses, so that he can naturally master it more easily in actual combat.

When that's over, he'll do three-point shooting drills.

Finally, there is the training of ball control, including but not limited to in-situ dribbling such as high and low center of gravity dribbling, dribbling under the crotch behind the back, fingertip figure-of-eight, straight line sprinting with line spacing and crossing obstacles.

The most direct feeling of this training arrangement is: the intensity is so great that ordinary people can't stick to it at all, and there is so much time that they don't have the energy to think about other things.

What ninety-nine-six, in front of this are all fairy days.

Xu Yong gritted his teeth and persevered in the most difficult starting stage with the motivation to make up for his regrets.

As for now, he's used to it.

The potential of human beings is beyond imagination.

And his training plan is by no means blind, not only targeted, but also prioritized, with core strength being the top priority, followed by three-point shooting, and then ball control.

As for other techniques, he is not in a hurry.

Because he knows very well that if he does these things well and trains them to his strengths, he can make it to the NCAA and the NBA, and then slowly evolve.

Now that he's done with his goal of making it to the NCAA, his next goal is the NBA.

And he has four years at most, and he is absolutely sure, of course, maybe it won't take that long at all.

After breakfast at about half past six, Xu Yong went to the stadium to rest in advance and waited for the team to train.

After a while, Harden came to the arena with Pera.

Every day before the start of the team's practice, Pera will give Harden a period of "small stove".

He knew that Pera was Harden's high school coach, but he still had doubts, after all, choosing college for the sake of a high school coach seemed somewhat irrational.

However, looking at Pera's attitude towards Harden, this high school coach may have other special meanings for Harden.

Xu Yong got up to greet Harden.

After seeing Xu Yong's wet training clothes, Harden widened his eyes and complained: "You are such a madman!" ”

After living with Xu Yong for a while, he was inevitably woken up by an alarm clock one day, and then practiced with Xu Yong for a while driven by curiosity.

Note that it's a period of time, not a day, and he, Harden, isn't an ordinary person.

But after more than ten days, he still chose to give up, because he felt that he would continue to practice from Harden to bin Laden......

And then now, Xu Yong is still practicing like this on the second day of the competition day, isn't this a madman?

And it was at this moment that he finally understood why Pera had to accentuate her tone when she said the word hard work, this perseverance was too strong!

Xu Yong smiled, since he got used to this kind of training intensity, he would feel uncomfortable when he stopped.

At this moment, the players of the Devils team came to the arena one after another.

Several core members of this team, in addition to Xu Yong and Harden, the most famous is Jeff Pandegraf, a 2.08-meter-tall center.

At first, Xu Yong didn't know who it was, but he always had a familiar feeling, and only then did he remember who it was after carefully recalling it.

This is Jeff Ayers, who joined the Spurs in history.

In fact, because this is his third year with the team, Ayers is the veteran of this team.

He averaged 12.1 points and 9.1 rebounds per game last season, and he is also the core of the team.

Judging from the performance of the opening game, Xu Yong and Harden plus him are the trident of the Devils in the new season.

And in addition to them, the main members of the team:

Main point guard: Derek Glasser, who is 1.85 meters tall, is a white man, a sophomore this year, and is known for passing and three-point shooting.

Of course, this strength is relative to the other guards in the team, after all, last season's 33% three-point shooting rate and about 3 assists are not on the table in other teams;

Main small forward: Jalen Ship, the one who was blown up by Xu Yong's bullfighting, a 1.93-meter NCAA-level white small forward, is also a sophomore, averaging 7.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game last season.

Most of the players on the NCAA team are undersized, that is, undersized, which is why many players struggle when they get to the NBA.

For example, Shipp is a forward player in the NCAA, but if he really enters the NBA, he will be required to play point guard, which is fundamentally two worlds.

Of course, there is a high probability that he will not have that chance.

For example, Curry, who can play, is still playing point guard at Davis at this time, and he will also switch to point guard next season because of his height.

Sixth man: Ty Albert, 1.90 meters tall, is characterized by scoring explosiveness, but similar to the extremely unstable existence of JR Smith.

Seventh man: Rihades Cooksix, a guard with a height of 1.98 meters, is a freshman like Xu Yong and Harden, a three-star high school student, and has some talent.

Eighth man: Eric Boateng, 2.08m substitute center, who transferred from Duke University in 2006 and only got a chance to play this season. [Note 2]

As for the rest, it is the tool man A/B/C level, and the NCAA team can have 11 to 15 players on the roster, but it is generally up to 8 players.
