Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 36 I Will Bet With You With Him
It is definitely unrealistic to persuade people all at once with words. Westbrook is just shocked now and cannot refute Li Sheng's words for a while, but he may not remember them later.

He is such a person!

Therefore, there is a long way to go to transform the Shuangjun and the Thunder team.

But at least now we have a good start, Westbrook is willing to listen at this time, of course Li Sheng will not mind talking more, so he continued: "This time your injury may not be a bad thing in my opinion.

"You can temporarily practice your skills more when you can't rely on your body. Don't tell me that you don't think your skills need to be practiced anymore."

There is no such reason, like Curry, who has undergone major changes every few years after entering the league. At first, he was a glass man and his ankles were brittle.

However, due to poor physical confrontation and poor defense, he began to be targeted by opponents after becoming famous. He still refused to admit defeat, and then began to slowly gain muscle, increase confrontation and defense. Although the fan-absorbing shooting style is gone, he is also more calm and secure, which is beneficial to the team as a whole.

And Brother Antetokounmpo, almost every year is a big change, gaining muscle, growing taller and changing to the inside line, practicing free throws with poor free throws, practicing shooting with poor shooting, and shooting from mid-range to three-pointers.

After all, he should start practicing backs. After all, when he is the only one on the offensive end of the team, he must become more comprehensive, and he can only break through the frame, just like James in the first year of the Heat. It is better to be restricted.

And what about Westbrook?

After entering the league for more than ten years, the style of play has not changed, and the shooting that should be strengthened has not been improved. The zombie jump shot can be regarded as a spectrum, but it also depends on the body, and the efficiency is actually not high. After the quality declines, the shooting plummets.

If he hadn't been seriously injured, maybe his decline has not been so fast, but injuries are not forgiving, and time is merciless.

"I……"

Westbrook suddenly looked embarrassed. To be honest, I think the designation of NBA players not to train is a no-brainer. The talented league can achieve the heights of Kemp and Jordan Jr., how can MVP-level players not train?
Iverson's "not training" has become a well-known meme, which is obviously just a topic created by the media.

And there are definitely shortcomings in practice. No player will not want to strengthen himself.

It's just that maybe I tried it and didn't have such a good effect, or maybe I really can't find a direction for improvement.

Moreover, training and competition are two different things. O'Neal's free throws are not that bad in training, and Jordan's hands are not that hard in training.

Li Sheng also had a headache when he thought of this. Although Dewey's second young master is really strong, their weaknesses are also very obvious, and they are still the kind that are difficult to improve.

Hey, I knew it would be better to go to Jinzhou to pick peaches first. If I can choose the letters to the warriors, I will still be a cosmic warrior in the future, or a cosmic warrior cultivated entirely by myself.

The Thunder are going to be in a lot of trouble, and the boss is still not willing to spend money—Li Sheng still remembers his relieved expression when he told Bennett that he might not sign any more players this year.

But that's okay, because he can prove his ability by leading such a Thunder on the right path.

Of course, there is also the capability of the system.

In this situation where manpower cannot do anything, Li Sheng can only hope for the system.

And as if responding to his expectations, the system suddenly said:
【Ding!The host triggers a hidden side mission: Help Westbrook improve his shooting]

[As we all know, Westbrook who has a shot is at the MVP level. Westbrook has a shot but is unstable. We can start with hand shape correction and strength to help Westbrook improve his shooting accuracy]

[Remarks: The system will not provide additional help, including system rewards and cannot be used on mission targets, but a progress meter can be attached to show the training progress]

[Task Reward: 10]

Li Sheng's first thought was that the reward for this mission is really high, it's the same as the score for getting the best coach, and it's only 20 for winning the championship.

Then I realized that there was a reason why it was so high, and it was because of the difficulty of the task.

This is obviously not a task that can be cheated by the system, because the key lies in Westbrook himself.

Li Sheng can find ways to help him, such as finding a good coach to help him, but it still depends on himself.

If his will is not so strong, or if he does not put in enough effort, then naturally it is impossible to reap any results.

In fact, think about it, many times the fans think it is very simple, the team may not have made efforts, but it is either unable to do it, or it is too difficult to give up.

Westbrook's shooting style is inherently hard. Relying on his unique zombie jumper, he can beat others who are hard to defend against, but this kind of shooting itself is unstable.

And this is extremely dependent on his physical fitness, because it requires bouncing explosive power. When the opponent can't block the shot when he jumps to a high point, Westbrook makes a shot, and then "pumps" the ball out with the strength of his waist and abdomen.

The reason why it is called a zombie jumper is also because his shooting hand is almost straight, but the zombie stretches it horizontally, and he stretches it vertically.

There is nothing aesthetic about this kind of shooting, but it was actually useful when Westbrook was at his peak.

It's just that if you want him to change now, it's tantamount to asking him to start from scratch, let alone whether he has the patience, he may not be willing to give up the ability he already has and start from scratch.

So Li Sheng thought about it, and decided to give him a little more stimulation, "Russell, how about we make a bet?"

Wei Shao froze for a moment, then stared at Li Sheng vigilantly.

"Relax, it's not going to hurt you. See No. 21 on the field, what do you think of his shot?"

Westbrook watched for a while, and disdain suddenly appeared on his face, with an expression of "I'm a star, what kind of C** is he?"

The fact is that Robertson's shooting ability is definitely not comparable to Westbrook, or it can never be compared. No matter how poor Westbrook's shooting ability is, Robertson will not be able to compare.

And on the field, he happened to miss a three-pointer and a mid-range shot. They were all points after Antetokounmpo attracted the defense. Obviously, it was also a targeted switch of defense by the opponent. He knew that his shooting was a weakness in the Thunder lineup.

The key lies in the way he shoots the ball. His speed is slow and his hand shape is strange.

Westbrook even felt that Li Sheng was teasing him and looked down on him.

How long has he been reduced to being compared with such a player?
"It seems that you are very confident that you can beat him? Then let's set a deadline. One... a month is too short. I'm afraid it won't be enough for you to recover from your injury, and you won't have an excuse. Then how about when your injury is completely healed and you can play?"

Westbrook stared at Li Sheng, looking a little irritated again, "Okay, what should we compare?"

"Of course it's better than shooting, what else can it be compared to?" Li Sheng said with a smile: "You don't know, are you afraid?"

The provocative method is definitely useful to Westbrook, and it has been tried and failed. He immediately sneered and said: "Okay, I promise you, and then you can compare as you like."

He made it clear that he didn't trust Robertson, and Robertson was actually worthy of this disbelief.

But the problem is that there is Li Sheng, and what Li Sheng thinks is very simple. Just relying on Robertson himself, let alone a few months, a year or two, don't want to surpass Westbrook in his shooting level. It is impossible for Li Sheng to teach him anything, but he still has a system.

Since the system restricts that you can't help Westbrook, but it doesn't say you can't help others, and the hidden meaning of this restriction, doesn't it mean that there are rewards or there are sharp weapons in the mall that can improve shooting?
That being the case, using this to help Robertson improve his shooting, and then let him beat Westbrook, is to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, Robertson has been strengthened, on the other hand, it has also achieved the purpose of stimulating Westbrook to change.

Westbrook didn't know where Li Sheng's confidence came from. Seeing that he was slapping Li Sheng on the court, Robertson hit another iron, and it was a direct non-stick. He only felt that he was sure to win.
