The way of the center

Chapter 286 Professional Transformation

The LA lifestyle, beaches, weather, bikini beauties and its proximity to Hawaii all make it so glamorous.For whatever reason, everyone wants to spend the summer in Los Angeles.

A basketball magazine made statistics before, and every summer, about 60%-70% of NBA players will come to Los Angeles.And that number may grow, after all, who wouldn't want to be in Los Angeles?

But for Anjie, the colorful world of Los Angeles is not what drew him here.The tempting training conditions in Los Angeles are what makes Anjie drool.

When Los Angeles enters summer, in addition to the temperature, its various training camps are also the hottest time.The city has too many high-quality training facilities, from the UCLA track and field to the Lakers training center.Breakfast, swimming pool, video equipment, spa, advanced strength training measures, it's all here.

In addition to the field, there is also the largest number of top trainers here.Fitness consultant Ganna Peterson, technical development coaches Drew Hanlon and Rob McLaren, and of course shooting guru Mike Benposey and ball handling specialist Jonny Stephanie.

And Ganna Peterson, who mainly trains the body and is also the most famous personal trainer in Los Angeles, is the training object arranged by Moslav for An Jie.

There are countless stars who have kept in touch with Peterson. Anthony, Rondo, Love and other players have all trained under him.In addition to athletes, many big names in the film industry who need to change their body shape will also ask him for help.This guy's first NBA client was Kurt Rambis who visited in 1994, and after that, many NBA stars came here admiringly. The jerseys of these guys have been hung on his walls and even on the ceiling. .

When Anjie knocked on the door of Peterson's house, this strong and strong guy left a deep impression on Anjie.

"Welcome, Ann, I've been waiting here for a long time." Peterson shook hands with An Jie enthusiastically. It was not the first time he had met an NBA star, and even compared with the brilliant names he knew, An Jie was nothing. What is the star.

"Excuse me, Mr. Gannar Peterson. I think Mr. Moslav has arranged everything?" This was the first time An Jie trained with someone other than a basketball player. He was a little curious and a little nervous.What kind of tricks will the most famous personal trainer in Los Angeles play.

"Yes, your manager has already arranged everything for you. I have already formulated and perfected your training plan. Come in and talk, let's talk slowly." Peterson invited Anjie into his house , The decoration of this room is very simple, nothing special.But it's the decor inside that sets Peterson's home apart.

All kinds of fitness equipment are naturally not a problem. On the walls of Peterson's home, there are many photos of sports stars and Hollywood celebrities.These decorations give Peterson's house a sporty feel.

An Jie sat on the sofa and watched for a while, and Peterson sat opposite An Jie with a glass of juice.

"Let's talk about the most critical question first. What can my training bring you? You must be very curious." Peterson said and took out a small notebook, which should be Anjie's records. training plan.

"Well, tell me, Mr. Peterson." An Jie knew that Muslav would not let him down.The trainer he found must be of good quality.But Peterson actually said straight to the point, so Anjie might as well listen attentively.

"First of all, I am not a professional basketball coach. My field lies in physical training. That is to say, during the period of training with me, your basketball skills will most likely not get any improvement. In terms of basketball skills , you are much better at it than me." Peterson spoke bluntly, putting the ugly words first.

Seeing that An Jie didn't respond, Peterson continued talking. "But with my training, you lose more fat, put on more muscle, and get stronger. I've seen quite a few of your races, and for the most part, you're totally Fighting against opponents by willpower, in fact, your body is not strong enough for you to complete those defenses. But after training with my men, everything is different. You will have a real physical advantage. At that time, coupled with your tenacious will, I think very few people can easily pass your test."

When An Jie heard it, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.He has always paid attention to his strength and physical training, but compared with technical training, the results in this area have been very small.Well now, maybe this guy can really help him solve this problem.

"This is just the first point. Apart from those, your moving speed, your take-off height, your lateral speed, and your agility will all be improved to varying degrees. Believe me, it's not difficult, as long as you use the right method "Petersen folded his hands confidently, and seeing An Jie's expectant expression, he knew that this guy must be moved.

Can An Jie not be moved?When he was in the Cyclones, Divac trained himself in center forward skills, and Ricard taught himself how to read the game.But what about the body?Ricard only asked the assistant coach to give Anjie a weight gain recipe, and then let Anjie develop freely.It's not that Ricard is not doing his job well, but that he really doesn't have a deep knowledge of this aspect.It is impossible for a coach to understand everything, right?

Miraculously, An Jie managed to improve his physical condition without any guidance.But An Jie's desperate training is definitely a way to get twice the result with half the effort.If it wasn't for Divac's timely correction, An Jie might have crippled himself.

Entering the NBA, training is more systematic and professional, but things like transforming players' bodies are not something that a few team trainers can do casually. Most of the time NBA trainers are tasked with keeping players in shape and health, not improving them.And more often, team training focuses on tactics and techniques.Body?Either you're naturally strong like James, or you're going to work on it yourself over the summer.

Therefore, even after entering the NBA, Anjie was still trying to improve his body functions.The Thunder's trainer occasionally works with him and occasionally gives him advice.But that is still not a personal trainer, without a long-term plan and testing, their training effect is minimal.

Well, now, finally, I have a real professional in this field to train myself, and this is a real personal training.During this month, Peterson has no second client, and he will do his best to serve Anjie.

Afterwards, Anjie and Peterson discussed the training plan.The two quickly reached a consensus, and they waited for the official start of training the next day.

Among them, Peterson and Anjie determined the weight control.He seriously asked An Jie's opinion whether he wanted to maintain his weight or gain weight.Weight is a double-edged sword for inside players.Unless you are a pervert like O'Neill, the consequence of too high a tonnage is a great sacrifice of flexibility.Just look at Yao Ming and you will know the pros and cons of gaining weight.

After some discussion, Anjie still decided to gain weight, but only increased to 117 kg and maintained it.In this way, Anjie can become stronger and more powerful.But it will not have any effect on his flexibility and swiftness.

After establishing all the goals, An Jie started his dream body transformation plan as he wished.It's just that the person who transformed him this time will be a very professional person.

Peterson said, he will not force Angie to participate in training.This guy knows the virtues of NBA stars. In the city of Los Angeles, it's almost normal for stars to miss a practice or two.

But to Peterson's surprise, a week passed, and Anjie was present without exception except for the two planned rest days.And every day, Anjie would start warming up half an hour earlier.

Anjie arrives at eight o'clock every day, and Peterson will get up at five o'clock to get ready for today's training.He didn't expect that An Jie took this training as seriously as he did!
Cycling, swimming pool training, battle ropes, balance trainers, medicine balls, steps and even boxing and beach exercises Peterson has planned training programs for Anjie. Physically, it is very effective.

Every day, Peterson and Angie train for seven hours without a break.After each training session, Peterson will also give Anjie physical therapy to make sure that he will not damage his health due to high-intensity training.

With the joint efforts of the two, An Jie has achieved obvious results.His muscles were stronger and bigger, and his whole body looked like a big circle.Of course, don't think that An Jie's speed will slow down in this way. His running and lateral movement are faster than before, and his jumping has also increased slightly.

In the past, after An Jie took off his shirt, Peterson felt more like "ribs".But now, if An Jie takes off his shirt again, he will definitely give people the feeling of a "muscular macho".Now the training vest is always stretched tightly by An Jie. In addition to the surrounding area, An Jie has also developed the pectoral muscles that he didn't have before.Of course, the changes on the arms are even more obvious.Just looking at the arms and body is enough to make people drool.

It is precisely because of this gratifying result that Anjie "renewed" his contract with Peterson for another half month.He postponed his time with the national team, but immersed himself in the training that Peterson arranged for himself.

Of course, as the player's body changes drastically, the feeling of his play will be completely different.Therefore, although Peterson did not teach Anjie to play basketball, Anjie himself did not relax his improvement in this area.In addition to training by himself on the rest day, An Jie also invited Drew Hanlon to train with him for four days to hone his skills.Although the effect in a limited period of time is definitely not as good as last year's Olajuwon training camp, but at any rate, Anjie has maintained his feeling for the ball and will not let his skills regress due to physical transformation.

For one and a half months, Anjie didn't go to any high-end nightclub in Los Angeles, and didn't have a tryst with any hot beauties who came to his door. Except for two meals with Kobe and Westbrook, Anjie behaved almost every day Moments are training themselves.

Seven hours of physical training during the day, two hours of physical therapy at noon, and three hours of ball training in the afternoon.In the evening, I ate the menu prescribed by Peterson, and then rested in the hotel by myself to maintain my physical condition.

In the past one and a half months, An Jie has come here day after day.In the eyes of outsiders, Anjie's boring life is simply a waste of time in Los Angeles.But for Anjie, this is what really made him achieve his purpose in coming to Los Angeles.

The training officially started on July 7nd, and now the training officially ends on August 2th.An Jie has almost achieved all the goals set, and his body has really become faster and stronger than before.

In addition, spending a month and a half with Peterson day and night has also allowed the two to establish a deep friendship.Peterson even gave Anjie a [-]% discount on the training fee for the second half of the month.

Although it is not as expensive as the big dream training camp, Anjie spent almost 18 US dollars for just one and a half months of training.But like the whole year, An Jie felt that the money was well spent.

"You are very different now from when I first saw you." Peterson looked proudly at the success of his subordinates again. Now Anjie has reached the level of Howard and O'Neill, though not to mention.But the strong him is definitely not the same as thin and weak.

"Thank you, Peterson. To be honest, I didn't expect the training to be so successful." An Jie looked at all the changes in himself with joy. Wouldn't it be easy for him to defend Gasol now?

"Don't forget, if you want to maintain this state, you still can't relax. Okay, on the last night, I'll take you to a good place for dinner." Peterson patted An Jie's back, which seemed stronger than before , more generous.

Early the next morning, Anjie bid farewell to Peterson and boarded a domestic flight.He postponed the reunion with the national team, and the Basketball Association was a little unhappy.However, due to the importance of Anjie to the team, it is difficult for them to express it directly.But if you go a few days later, it will not be good for both parties.

He left Los Angeles again, but this time, An Jie left with the joy of victory.

Turkey World Championships, An Jie really wants to see how much his body can do on the field.
Teammates of the Chinese team, after a year, we will meet again.
