Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 41
The muscle gain of NBA players sometimes makes fans feel unbelievable. It is not known whether there is the power of technology in it, even if it is the so-called sequelae such as cheekbones, but after all, there is no credible argument to support it.

But one thing that is certain is that muscle gain will definitely affect the feel.

Brother Antetokounmpo has been dormant for more than two years in his previous life, and this must have something to do with it. Although he wasn't very accurate at first, he at least had a certain shooting ability. As a result, he lost his shot when he gained muscle and had to start from scratch.

But there is no way around that. With his conditions, if he can't work hard on his body, it will be difficult to become Durant by shooting. What's more, Durant's current confrontation is not bad, and he almost became a heavy forward when he came to the Warriors.

So of course Li Sheng has to find a way in this regard. Regardless of whether Brother Antetokounmpo relied on technology to become a talent in his previous life, but in Li Sheng's place, he must give him a direction. It just so happens that there are muscle-building auxiliary items in the system mall.

Well, the name, it's called "Big Muscle Bully". It's a bit vulgar, but you can tell what it means at a glance.

And this is relatively simple and crude. Basically, Antetokounmpo can absorb energy from whatever he eats every day, but it is not without problems, that is, the amount of training must keep up, otherwise it may develop in the opposite direction.

Fortunately, Li Sheng doesn't need to doubt Brother Antetokounmpo's diligence. If it weren't for such a person, he wouldn't have achieved such great achievements in the future.

Think about these superstars who have become famous, how many of them cannot be self-disciplined?

James, Curry, Alphabet, Durant, Kaka, there is a reason why they can become super giants.

And as long as Antetokounmpo can maintain self-discipline, another characteristic of the "big muscle bully" is that it can increase muscle while ensuring that it does not affect other aspects of the body as much as possible, so let alone sequelae, even the shooting ability will not be affected too much.

This is tantamount to an invisible increase, which is equivalent to that the shot enhancement card and muscle increase can be carried out at the same time, and they do not contradict each other.

This also makes Li Sheng look forward to the future growth of Antetokounmpo, because obviously, with these two additions, Antetokounmpo will definitely make a leap through this offseason.

At least until the regular season, he will be a poor version of Durant with enough confrontation and shooting ability, and then add his movement control organization. In the game, he only needs to slowly exercise his tacit understanding with his teammates and accumulate his own field experience.

And at that time, we can look at what aspects need to be improved, such as passing and vision, which can also help him grow. Li Sheng even thinks that Brother Antetokounmpo may be able to make an early start in this way, and after two seasons, he will be able to launch an impact on Durant's status.

For the remaining two rookies, Robertson also needs to strengthen his shooting ability, so Li Sheng also ordered him a shooting enhancement card, and then put a yellow "Ray Allen" template on him for the sake of insurance.

That's right, it was Curry's previous historical three-pointer, who saved James' career with an unbeatable three-pointer in Zhan Hei's mouth.

In terms of strength, although Ray Allen's career is much longer than Roy's, both of them were All-Stars with 20+ abilities at their peak, and there is no difference in grade.

It's just that in terms of offense, Ray Allen's three-pointers are stronger, while Roy relies more on breakthroughs. He has 4+ assists in his career and has done a better job in driving his teammates. He is a very good team star.

It is a pity that Roy was injured when he entered the peak and ended his career early, which also confirmed the injury curse known as tearing, so there is the ideal lineup of Lillard + Roy + Batum + Aldridge + Oden that is regrettable but impossible for Trail Blazers fans.

So this star template also only needs 5 points, which also means that if Robertson can fully realize the potential of the template, he can at least become a three-pointer with a certain ability to attack independently.

Coupled with his original defensive ability, not to mention surpassing Ray Allen, but it shouldn't be too much to reach Leonard's level this season.

Of course, this is just an ideal state. After all, there are not many players who can achieve their own template in reality. Although the template of the system is definitely different and has a certain increase effect, it does not mean that it is guaranteed.

Not to mention injuries and other accidents, although Li Sheng is there, such accidents can be avoided.

In fact, as long as Robertson can improve his shooting ability and become a stable shooting point outside the three-point line, Li Sheng feels that he will live up to his expectations.

As for Gobert, to be honest, Li Sheng is the most difficult for him.

The Thunder's current center position is of course a weakness. As we all know, the training period of centers is generally relatively long, and it may take two or three years to really get the hang of it. This is not the case with O'Neal and Jordan.

Gobert is still relatively mature, and he can play when given a chance, but in which direction should he train?
Such a big center will gradually be eliminated in the future, and in terms of autonomous offensive ability, the Thunder does not need him to attack. If the offense overflows, it may be like Yu Yuyong, and the players with fewer opportunities will gradually degenerate.

After much deliberation, Li Sheng decided to increase his passing ability.

Nurkic, who used to compete with Jokic for the Nuggets' starting lineup, was initially given up because he lacked a passing hand. After being sent to the Trail Blazers, he played better and suffered injuries.

But there is no doubt that one more ability will help to settle down on the court.

And passing is also paired with vision. If there is no vision, even if there is a good opportunity, you will not be able to see it, and you don’t know how to pass it.

One is eyesight and brain, which belongs to the spiritual level, and the other is manual work, which belongs to the technical aspect.

Fortunately, these two skills are not expensive, and only need two points respectively - of course, the main reason is that Li Sheng chooses the lowest level, otherwise he really can't afford it.

Because the Thunder must play more pick-and-rolls in the new season, including high-post pick-and-rolls, Eagles offense, and Spanish pick-and-rolls. After the insiders are brought up, they need to have certain requirements for their ability to control the ball.

So if Gobert can master these two abilities, even if his shooting is not good, he can still create threats by passing the ball, which will also help his presence on the offensive end.

Of course, Gobert is not Green after all, and the Thunder has no splash. Li Sheng will definitely not let him do the "blood-sucking" job of dealing cards at the top of the arc. He also needs to move.

This is actually a bit like what the "real Kevin" Rooney did in the Warriors later. Rooney went up to block and then handed it over to Splash, and Gobert can also cooperate with Durant in a single file to create space for him to shoot.

In this way, Durant doesn't even need to move much, because Gobert's body is sure to block people.

In short, in fact, as long as the players' abilities improve and certain skills are added, there will be more offensive routines to choose from on the court, and it will be more difficult for opponents to defend against.

"Well... But in this way, my 'money' is not enough."

At this time, Li Sheng discovered a terrible fact that his points were about to bottom out.

回想一下，2点的“一眼丁真”、5点的“铁脚踝”订了两个、10点的“战术训练”BUFF加成（通用）、10点的“主场加成”、五罐体力可乐共10点、3点的“三分卡”、黄色“黄曼巴”模板5点、两个投篮加强卡5*2点、“大肌霸”5点，还有黄色的“雷阿伦”模板5点，初级视野跟初级传球加起来也有4点。

In this way, the total sum of zeros and zeros has reached 74 points. After deducting, my current points are only 26 points.

This made Li Sheng nervous all of a sudden, and felt that he had to save some time, because no matter what the task is, it can't be completed so quickly. The main task has to wait until the regular season begins, and the rewards will not be generated until the end of the road.

There is only one side mission at present, and it may take a few months.

If the points are used up now, it will be difficult to get replenished in the future.

"Then let's do this first. There doesn't seem to be any urgent needs at the moment. Keeping some will give you a sense of confidence, and we will talk about it when there is an emergency."

Li Sheng summed it up like this, and felt that using all the things he had ordered so far was enough to give the Thunder a new look.

If there were still a lot of uncertainties about the main task before, then the confidence is much greater now.

Sure enough, it still depends on the system!
