Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 63 Li Sheng: It's a cheat, I added a cheat
Of course Leonard and Green knew about the news that Adu and the others were coming to train together, and neither of them had any objections.

Training is definitely not as interesting as having a good opponent behind closed doors, especially if the defense level is high enough. Targeted defense can amplify weaknesses, but it can also force players to train against weaknesses to improve.

Not to mention Huang Ama, Leonard is now the new darling of the Spurs, his performance in the finals, and more importantly his current age, has made fans full of expectations for his future.

Of course, not many people can foresee that he will definitely reach the level of super giant in the future. They just think that it is good that he can become a star and a defensive gate.

In fact, when it comes to defending Durant, Leonard is indeed not the most suitable. With his size and confrontation ability, the defensive back and the inside are both good.

As long as Durant doesn't hold the big show in front of him to dribble the ball, it will be difficult to be disturbed by directly shaking out of the space, and the rest depends on his own feel.

What Durant is most afraid of is actually Tony Allen and Danny Green, who can stabilize the ground and resist his lower body to restrict his turning and movement. Therefore, Durant is actually not very good against the Grizzlies and Spurs.

Including when playing against the Clippers, Durant was equally difficult to play when he met Paul. Paul's experience and bottom line just hit his goal.

However, the game is different from heads-up. After all, Green is still too short, and the defensive effect is obviously not as good as Leonard.

Then he can only defend, and his ability to attack independently is too poor. He has self-knowledge, and he can't force it after trying twice.

Next is Ennis, Robertson and Antetokounmpo. Ennis and Antetokounmpo are not good at it. Robertson can basically keep up and interfere with Durant, which is the best outside of Leonard.

But he is the same, he can only defend but not attack.

Durant was the king in this training hall for a while, and the expression on his face seemed to be as happy as Chinese New Year.

The main reason is that these are not well-known defensive champions, or rookies who rely on defense as their selling point, but they can't defend him in the end, so they are happy.

Of course, he still pays more attention to Leonard, because Leonard has indeed shown a high ball quotient and reading ability. If he shoots better, it will be very difficult for him to defend.

Li Sheng watched the whole process from the side. This kind of heads-up is actually quite exciting, although everyone will not take it too seriously.

The training hasn't even started yet, so this is equivalent to a warm-up activity.

The most serious one is probably Brother Antetokounmpo, because of his personality, but this kid hasn't learned the Bucks tradition yet—even if he has learned it, he can't use it at this time. With his current confrontation, he can't hold Durant, and Leonard can beat him relatively easily.

Even Ennis can't compare with him, and Green can't dribble and shoot. At most, the height gap is too big to make room for it. It is difficult to hit him, but at least he can be restricted on the defensive end.

In other words, Robertson and him "bombed each other". This is because both of them are not good at offense, and their defense is at the same level, but in fact they are still much better than him, at least they have scored more goals.

It could be seen that the young man was rather depressed, and this round of heads-ups made him the bottom one.

This is somewhat due to the fact that they are not used to this kind of American heads-up. The others are all experienced or have played since they were young. After playing a few more times, the result may be different.

But this is also just right, with Brother Antetokounmpo's spirit, Li Sheng has no doubt that he will work hard to train and improve. Stimulated by the results of the heads-up, he will only be more motivated.

In this offseason, it depends on how much he can improve in terms of muscle gain and shooting. If he can strengthen his confrontation and at the same time keep his shooting stable or at least not drop, then Li Sheng will give him more time in the new season so that he can play a more comfortable "point forward" and improve his confidence.

Confidence is very important to a player. Whether you are a rookie or a star player, sometimes ability only determines your lower limit, while the spiritual qualities of confidence, determination and perseverance determine your upper limit.

"Okay, now you all should have a mutual understanding, and then everyone will work hard on their own. I hope that at the end of the offseason, I can see that each of you has made great progress."

Li Sheng had been an assistant coach for the Spurs before, and Leonard and Green could listen to him, so when Li Sheng clapped his hands to attract attention, everyone looked at him seriously.

However, after hearing Durant and others, they didn't have any ideas, but the three rookies were very excited, because this is also a promise in disguise. If the training results are good enough, they will have more opportunities to perform and play in the new season.

For a rookie, that means a lot.

Of course, Li Sheng will not leave so soon, and he will stay here for a few days to see the performance and effect of the players' training.

Of course, the effect will not be seen so quickly, but everyone's performance is very hard, which makes Li Sheng very satisfied.

Of course, what he focused on was Antetokounmpo and Robertson's shooting training.

One is because Li Sheng has higher expectations, and the other is because of the bet with Westbrook.

Many people know about this matter, and Durant probably knows it too, and Li Sheng can also feel that Robertson's emotions have obviously fluctuated during training.

He was very excited at the beginning, and even his shooting accuracy improved a bit compared to before. After being pointed out by Englander, he had to correct it slowly, but the effect was not good at the beginning, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Slowly, his mood became more and more depressed, which in turn affected the training effect.

Li Shengneng guessed that he probably had a sense of urgency and pressure in his heart. He himself hoped to defeat Westbrook, but he felt that it was impossible.

Everyone said that Westbrook's shooting is not good, so it depends on who he compares with. Robertson is a little unconfident.

In the end, it was Li Sheng who asked him to talk to him alone, and comforted him well, so that he would not have psychological pressure.

Then he asked Collins to make a record for him to record his daily training results, such as how many shots he made, how many shots he made, and how much his ratio increased the next day.

Because of the double BUFF of the shooting enhancement card and the "Ray Allen" template, Li Sheng is very confident in Robertson's improvement. Even if he changes his hand shape, it will not affect the effect of the improvement.

It's just that this is a long process, and it can't be done overnight, which is why Li Sheng thinks the system is good.

Firstly, this can make players cherish the abilities they have acquired through hard work, and at the same time increase their confidence, and feel that hard work can improve; secondly, it can avoid being suspected. After all, it is too abrupt to improve suddenly, and it is difficult not to be doubted.

Including the "big muscle bully" for Antetokounmpo, and the "Yellow Mamba" template for Ennis, so Li Sheng also asked Collins to record them.

The NBA has a complete set of mature systems, covering all aspects, including the players' nutritious meals.

Even if technology is used, it is not suitable for everyone, and people's own ability to bear it, as well as sequelae, etc. have to be considered. After all, everyone is for progress, not for death.

Players who want to gain muscle, of course, have a matching nutrition package. At the request of Li Sheng, Presti specially arranged for a nutritionist to prepare for Brother Antetokounmpo every day. It is hard to say how effective it is, but Brother Antetokounmpo really vomited.

But those who have survived the hard times, of course there is no problem with this tolerance, so I still gritted my teeth and persisted.

And the nutritious meal itself has an effect, coupled with the BUFF added by the system, I believe the effect will be obvious after one month.

The shooting record is naturally the easiest to reflect their progress. It is difficult to find it in a day or two. If you look at it after a week, even if it is only a 0.1 improvement, it is enough to make people happy.

Anyway, Englander was already surprised and doubted what Li Sheng had said to him. After that, Robertson seemed to be more and more stable.
