NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

A week passed in a blink of an eye. During this week, Long Rui almost didn't go out. He perfected a set of team training plans at home alone, hoping to make the team's strength better before the start of next season. powerful!

On the first day the Cavaliers resumed training, Long Rui was still the first person to arrive at the training ground.

Before six o'clock, his figure had already appeared in the training ground.

This was the first time Long Rui had stepped into the training field since the offseason. The moment he entered the field, he seemed to hear the sound of war drums beating in his ears.

Afterwards, the scenes of fighting in the game last season began to appear in his mind, and he suddenly felt excited.

He hadn't practiced for a long time, the moment he picked up the basketball from the ground, awe-inspiring fighting spirit rose from his body!
Jump shot from outside the three-point line!

"Shh!"

The sound of hollowing into the net resounded, making Long Rui feel extremely comfortable.

He enjoyed this beautiful voice, as if he was on the field again, and what he heard were the crazy shouts of the fans.

Long Rui lowered his head slowly and kissed the basketball in his hand.

"New season, here I come."

Afterwards, Long Rui began to devote himself to training.

A layup on the railing, a dunk from the free throw line, and a super long-range three-pointer. When he made these actions one by one, Long Rui entered a state of selflessness.

About half an hour later, a second figure appeared at the door of the training hall.

Not Curry, not George, and not Yi Jianlian, but the rookie selected by the team this year, Jimmy Butler!
Because this is the first day of training, in order to let everyone get used to it, the time is set at [-]:[-] am, which is much later than the normal training time.

But it was less than seven o'clock, and Jimmy Butler appeared here. This alone is enough to see his attitude of eagerness to improve his strength.

"Good morning!"

Jimmy Butler's relationship with Long Rui is quite strong now. Although he hasn't seen each other very often, he will send text messages to Long Rui every day to ask some questions.

Now the relationship between them is like a teacher and friend, even closer than some old teammates.

"Jimmy? Why are you here so early?"

Although he said so, Long Rui was very happy in his heart. Jimmy Butler really belonged to the hardest-working player.

"I'm not familiar with this place yet, so I'll come and have a look earlier."

Jimmy Butler also responded modestly. In fact, he just wanted to come to training earlier, because he knew that his strength was still immature, and only by putting in more effort than others could he become stronger as soon as possible.

Hearing this answer, Long Rui smiled noncommittally, and then said to him: "It's still early, how about trying to shoot?"

Hearing this, Butler nodded immediately. He knew that his shooting was not good, but he was not afraid to shoot in front of Long Rui.

He put on his training uniform in twos and twos, and then ran into the training ground.

Long Rui passed the ball in his hand: "Come on, I'll pick it up for you!"

As soon as this remark came out, Butler felt even more flattered. He was just a 'rookie', and now the boss of the team wanted to pick up the ball for him.

"I can't bear it, I'll pick it up myself..."

Butler said in a panic.

Long Rui shrugged: "It's nothing, you can just vote."

Butler couldn't say anything more, he took a deep breath, and then quickly entered the state. Although his shooting ability is not good, it is because he is very focused on the basket.

After a few breaths, under Long Rui's gaze, Butler threw the first ball.

His shooting action is not standard, and he looks a little stiff, and even a little stuck at the moment of the shot...

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of iron strikes sounded in the empty training hall, and it was accompanied by echoes, which sounded a little awkward.

This shot was not a single star, and Butler couldn't help frowning.

"Sorry, my shooting has been bad..."

Butler was also a little embarrassed.

After all, Long Rui is the one who won the three-pointer. Shooting is his strong point. If he wants to shoot in front of Long Rui, he will have an invisible pressure.

"Don't be nervous, come again!"

Long Rui didn't care, he passed the ball to Butler again.

Butler adjusted a little and threw the ball a second time.

"Bang!"

There was another strike, and the basketball was rejected from the basket.

Long Rui on the side watched very carefully. Butler's shot this time seemed a little different from the last time, but it was very subtle.

He knew that Butler was deliberately adjusting his shooting posture, trying to find a way to make himself as comfortable as possible.

After the miss, Butler looked at Long Rui apologetically, and he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Long Rui suddenly said, "Do you want to adjust your shooting movements?"

As soon as these words came out, Butler was startled. He hadn't changed much just now, but Long Rui still noticed it.

He nodded and said bitterly, "I know my shooting is not standard, and I've always wanted to change it, but I think it's awkward to shoot according to the standard."

"Actually, there is no need to deliberately make changes. The way you are comfortable with is the most standard."

"Your biggest problem is not the shooting posture, but the moment of the shot."

After speaking, Long Rui walked over and demonstrated Butler's shooting method.

Take off, shoot.

In order to let Butler see his problem more clearly, Long Rui deliberately paused at the moment of his shot, as if he was stuck.

The basketball arced across an arc, hit the side of the rim and bounced off.

"See it? That's what's wrong with your shot."

Long Rui's demonstration was very similar, and Butler could see it very clearly.

"I seem to understand something."

"Then you are watching it once."

As soon as the words fell, Long Rui made another move, but this time, his movement was very smooth, without any pause.

"Shh!"

The sound of the basketball entering the net sounded, and it was a precise hit!
"You don't need to change your shooting action, but you must get rid of this stuttering problem and make the shooting smoother."

After listening to Long Rui's explanation, Butler nodded half understanding.

"You try it."

Long Rui gave him the ball again.

Butler kept thinking about Long Rui's shot just now in his mind, and then he shot the ball like a gourd.

The embarrassing thing is that this time he actually voted for a three non-stick...

Fans all know that once a player has formed his own shooting action, it is very difficult to change it. Although Long Rui has given him a demonstration, it will take a certain amount of time for Butler to fully master it.
