Start hanging from getting the Dayao template

Chapter 3 Special Training
The next day, Malone flew back to Los Angeles from New York and rented his high school space.

Before starting training, Malone plans to find a first-class trainer to assist him in training.

Training cards are the best trainers.

But a lot of training cannot be done by one person.

In addition to lateral movement training, Ma Long only half understands what training should be done to strengthen himself.

It is definitely right to increase strength and increase confrontation.

But how exactly?
How much muscle gain will not affect flexibility?
Although you can rely on adding points to lose flexibility, it is not easy to level up. It is better to rely on training, and you can rely on adding points when you reach the limit of your talent.

In short, Ma Long's impression of the NBA comes from his impressions in the news and popular science posts of some big names.

These big players have never played in the NBA, so they can be used as a reference, but if they really believe it, they are brain-deficient.

Malone is confident but not blind.

Knowing that he needs a professional to assist him, he can enter the NBA in a better state.

He approached the Blazers management for help.

Unexpectedly, Paul, the owner of the Blazers, directly hired a professional team to serve him for free.

The team is built around experts in biology, kinesiology and physics, including nutritionists, physical therapists, physical trainers, shooting coaches, tactical coaches, interior coaches, and more.

Even if it is only responsible for three months of off-season training, it will cost 40 dollars.

Paul let him off without saying a word.

Ma Long felt what it means to be agitated.

He is now in Los Angeles, and he is a recent news hotspot.

After the professional team arrived, it was in the news immediately.

The rookies of the same year were sour, but there was nothing they could do.

This is similar to the difference between the three levels of the team's flight, economy class, charter flight and special flight.

It belongs to the boss's financial gap.

Envy is also not enviable.

But it does not affect them to attack Malone under the deliberate guidance of the reporter.

"I don't know what kind of magic this Chinese man cast on the Blazers' management to make them invest in this way. The NBA is not just about height."

Both yin and yang are better.

The other brains are not fully developed, and they don't have such a high level, so they are all directly rude.

Malone was selected in the lottery, which itself caused a lot of criticism.

As soon as this treatment was exposed, there were even more criticisms.

For a time, 'swearing Malone' seemed to be a big event for this rookie class.

Malone didn't turn a blind eye.

He cut out all the relevant content from the newspaper, pasted it in his little notebook, and then started the special training,

He's not a training freak.

I love basketball, but I don't love it enough to be paranoid.

The reason why he persisted was because he didn't want to discredit the Dayao template on him, and he wanted to prove that Hua people can win the championship!

Of course, playing in the NBA to earn a lot of W (US dollars) is also one of the reasons.

Another reason is that there is a badge of immunity to injuries, and the positive feedback from training is very fast.

The most tormenting thing is not the training, but the inability to get feedback no matter how hard you try.

It's like walking in a dark tunnel and can't see the light and the end.

The beginning is hopeful.

The ending is full of accomplishments.

Only the middle part is tormented, confused and bitter.

But even with the badge, Malone still accumulated emotional fatigue.

At this time, Ma Long would look at the list in the small book and grit his teeth: "After the new season starts, please wait for me!"

Or find a female companion to clear the inventory.

He's still popular at his Westlake high school.

Life is spent in training-clearing inventory-cutting small notebooks-sleeping.

The small book got thicker.

Girlfriends are going to college.

Malone's summer is over, too.

This summer has been quite fulfilling.

With the help of a professional team, not only did he complete the 100-hour training required by the lateral movement training card, but Ma Long also completed the first stage of weight gain.

After many accurate tests by the team - mainly because Ma Long's non-human performance during lateral training made them unconfident.

After many tests, they finally determined that Malone increased his muscles to 135kg, which can not only maintain the current flexibility and speed, but also greatly enhance the strength resistance.

To increase muscle by 15kg!

The 15kg will not be completed immediately, which will affect Malone's soft shooting touch.

Slow down the time limit, complete in three years and three seasons, and increase muscle by 5kg in each stage.

Muscle building is not about building muscle indiscriminately, but focusing on strengthening what Malone urgently needs-the buttocks.

The scientific name is the gluteus maximus.

This can significantly enhance Malone's core, explosiveness and blocking ability.

Bounce can also be increased.

In the inherent impression of fans, bouncing is related to calves.

This is right and wrong.

In the physiological planing class given by the team experts, Ma Long learned the principles of exercise in detail.

The most important core muscles are not the abs, but the glutes.

In other words, the rear muscles of the body are the most important place to stabilize the core.

The source of power for bouncing is the core.

More specifically, the buttocks and thigh muscles.

The strength of these parts is positively correlated with bounce.

If you use your glutes, you will jump higher.

If you can deadlift, you can feel that your glutes are stronger and your movements will be more stable.

Of course the calf and Achilles are equally important.

Bounce is the force of the thighs and buttocks.

The calf is responsible for transmitting force and moment arm.

To put it bluntly, the calf is equivalent to a labor-saving lever that amplifies force.

Kind of like a spring.

After the toes push the ground, the Achilles tendon will convert the force of the thigh and buttocks into the force against the ground.

The motor (thighs and glutes) matter.

Lever (Achilles) quality is also important.

With the same engine power, the better, longer and more resilient Achilles tendon will bounce higher.

In addition, all the movements related to running and jumping seem to be the ankle exerting force to drive the calf, but in fact, the control muscles are all in the thigh and calf front muscles.

By contracting and pulling the Achilles tendon and the posterior tendon, it brings efficient movement with labor-saving levers.

During this process, the stronger the calf muscles, the higher the efficiency of the labor-saving lever, and the stronger the final explosive power.

After understanding the principle, Malone knew that the explosive power of blacks is due to the leverage (Achilles tendon) advantage.

They're all good at it.

And his, or Huaguo people's advantage lies in the stronger engine and the higher upper limit of absolute muscle strength.

The reason why the weightlifting event is the traditional brand-winning event of the Chinese people is not only more emphasis on training and hard work, but also for this reason.

Otherwise, more than ten gold medals in weightlifting, do foreigners really look down on them?

Doesn't look like a blind referee will be sent?

Even if the Hua people have a disadvantage in the Achilles tendon and the engine is more powerful, they can also show a speed comparable to or even surpassed that of the blacks!

After all, no matter how efficient the lever is, it needs the power of the engine first.

Back to topic.

The team arranged a training program with a mix of strength and functionality, focusing on building Ma Long's Huaguo buttocks.

At Ma Long's strong request, he also joined the stand-up fighting training of boxing and Muay Thai.

Ma Long has no idea about flying to the sky and escaping from the ground. Strengthening the butt is mainly to enhance the ability to block positions.

Not to go to the basket, but to shoot better.

With Nowitzki's precedent, Malone doesn't want to see the kind of thing that happens to him when he is held down by some short players, resulting in a drop in shooting percentage.

Even if you have a straight-arm jumper, you need a strong core to stay stable.

Because of his height, his center of gravity is too high, so he needs stronger gluteus maximus strength.

211cm may be enough with 90 strength.

Malone needs 92.

Enjoy the convenience of height, but naturally have to bear the disadvantage of height.

With the traversing training complete, the traversing is at 90 points.

Ma Long suddenly discovered that he was stuck in a position and did not take the center of gravity.

The strengthening of lateral movement seems to have strengthened the calf strength by the way, making the lever of his calf Achilles tendon more efficient.

At the same time, it also improves the coordination and utilization of Malone's whole body muscles.

These increases offset the disadvantage of too high center of gravity.

"Is this the meaning of lifting the talent restriction?"

Ma Long understood: "The training card is too strong!"

Too bad there is no second one.

The effect of gaining weight is far less magical than training cards.

But better than nothing, Ma Long continued to gain weight to 125kg.

The buttocks became puffy and plump, and the strength naturally increased to 94 points.

In addition, basic skills such as shooting skills, defense, and footwork are also solid under the guidance of the team. According to the coach, the standing fighting skills can win prizes in amateur competitions. In general, the gains are worth 40 dollars.

Summary of special training in September.

The core of the team, Professor Meade said complicatedly: "Ma Long, your talent in strength is even more terrifying than I expected."

"I can't imagine your lethality in the low post after you reach 135kg."

"Are you sure you don't want to strengthen your low-level skills?"

"Thanks, but I prefer to shoot."

Ma Long shrugged: "And I'm only 17 years old, and I won't turn 11 until November. It's still a long time. Sometimes it's time to strengthen my skills."

Only children think about everything.

Adults know it's too much.

In the Colosseum of the NBA, it is better to concentrate and specialize than to be good at everything.

The Blazers are crowded at center.

There is 31-year-old rookie Sabonis.

There is also the original main center, the white center Chris Dudley who is 211cm tall and weighs 107kg. He is very good at offensive rebounds and averages 5.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

Plus a backup center.

The unique skills that make people shine can stand out even more.

Ma Long was very assertive, and there was nothing wrong with his thinking, and Meade didn't persuade him any more.

He smiled and said: "The summary is over, the special training is over, Malone."

Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over, thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing."

Mead said: "We feel a great sense of accomplishment from you. You are the best partner. I wish you success in the NBA."

"Thank you."

After the special training is over, the team has to leave.

Malone saw them off, and after clearing the inventory with his girlfriend, he said goodbye, then got on the plane and flew to Portland, where the Trail Blazers are located.
