I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 136

After the game with the Grizzlies, Dorsey accepted an interview with Fagan, a senior reporter of the "Houston Chronicle".

When he was in a good mood, another outburst was unavoidable, which stunned Feigen for a moment.

After bragging, Dorsey returned to the locker room. After listening to the coach's simple lectures, he did not take a shower, but went to the weight room for additional training.

This habit was laid down for him by Wayne Hall. Training strength after high-intensity competitions is not only conducive to recovery, but also the effect of strength training is twice the result with half the effort.

When I arrived at the weight room, I found it very lively.Not only Brooks, Landry and other little brothers arrived, but also veteran players such as Dayao, Battier and Metta Shiping came one after another.

It seems that Wayne Hall's philosophy has been deeply rooted in the Rockets.

At this moment, Wayne Hall is also in the weight room, helping everyone train.

The Rockets didn't pay him a penny, but he took on a lot of the team's assistant coach's work, purely as a friendly help.

Wayne Hall was a little absent-minded, looking towards the door from time to time.

Every time the door opened, there would be a look of excitement and anticipation on his face, but when he saw that the person who came in was not the person he expected, he couldn't hide the look of disappointment on his face.

Until the end, the figure Wayne Hall expected did not appear.

Seeing Hall's distraught look, like an unlucky guy who was abandoned by his first love, Dorsey felt that he was very pitiful, so he went over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, maybe his injury is not good, he will come sooner or later."

Hall nodded, a little grateful, and then said: "Do you still have the strength? How about we practice our ball skills."

Dorsey was shocked, you were abandoned by your ex, so you vented your strength on your incumbent, okay? !

In the second day's training, the training volume was not reduced because of the previous day's competition.

However, this is not a problem for Dorsey at all. His body is abnormal. No matter how tired he is on the first day, he will be alive and kicking again the next day after sleeping.

However, after the normal training was over, Coach Adelman specifically kept him.

Accompanying Adelman was T. R. Dunn.

"Joy, what do you think of our training intensity?" Adelman asked kindly.

Dorsey took a deep breath, this is a fucking proposition!

How do you want me to answer?

Say there is no problem at all, and it is easy to do things with ease?Adelman will not feel that he is mocking his lack of training intensity!
Said that the intensity is very high, and I am tired every day?Does the coach feel that he is too useless to handle even this little training!
No matter what the answer seems to be wrong.

Dorsey could only answer vaguely: "The training is pretty good."

Adelman didn't delve into this answer, but continued: "It's not bad for young people to practice more."

Dorsey nodded, and sent a rainbow fart: "You are right, we young people should learn more from you and practice more from you."

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.Adelman was very satisfied with Dorsey's answer. Through this period of contact, he felt more and more that this kid was very good.

"Since you have this attitude, it will be easy. After training every day, TR will give you an hour of guidance alone. I hope you can cooperate happily."

Dorsey is a little confused, why is TR Dunn training himself, isn't he an outside coach?Shouldn't post player training be the responsibility of Coach Jack Sigma?

Soon he understood the intention of the coaching staff.

"Joy, let's start with basic ball control."

Speaking of TR, Coach Dunn made several demonstration moves, such as inside-out dribble, side to side dribble, front and back dribble, etc., but without exception, the height of the dribble was very low and the speed was very fast. .

"Dorsey's task at this stage is to familiarize yourself with the feel of the ball. Let's take 40 minutes a day to practice dribbling, and the remaining 20 minutes to practice other subjects. Note that you must pay attention to height and speed when dribbling. Keep it below the knees, and the speed reaches about 200 beats per minute. Start with the basic ones first, and then slowly advance."

Dorsey was surprised, this is really going to use himself as a defender to practice!
Could it be that the team lacks a guard now, and Adelman wants to use himself as a guard?
However, Dorsey has no objection, as long as he can get more playing time, let alone playing guard, he will do it even if he is a cow for the coach!
From then on, he followed coach Sigma to practice inside skills every day during regular training time, and after the training, he received additional outside training from Coach Dunn.

The rest of the time, he would also ask Wayne Hall to give him a little trouble.

Hall can practice not only his body, but also his skills with the ball.Originally, Hall didn't have much experience in training center forwards, but now Dorsey has also started to practice guard skills, which makes Hall a professional counterpart. After all, he has been training McGrady's personal trainer since high school.

Of course, the basic exercises arranged by Mr. Wang Weide, he will also practice every day without poking.

Now, Dorsey is equivalent to having four famous teachers, Wang Weide, Wayne Hall, Jack Sigma, and TR Dunn.

These four people are Chinese and Western, old and young, inside and outside, some are good at laying the foundation in traditional ways, some are proficient in scientific theories and proficient in advanced training methods, but all of them have studied in their respective fields for decades Industry leader.

Dorsey is like a huge sponge, absorbing experience and skills every day.

In addition to hard training, he also used the SP value he had reserved. He didn't use up all the SP value before, and left some every time, plus the SP value obtained in daily training and competitions, he now There are about 4000 more sp values ​​left.

This time he added the dribbling and passing attributes in one go.

之前他的运球属性数值是53，提升到54需要98点;从54提升到55需要103点;从55提升到56需要111点……

他的传球属性数值60，提升到61需要90sp;从61提升到62需要95点……

Dorsey used about 3000 points to add to the dribbling attribute, which increased by 17 points, and the value of the dribbling attribute reached 70 at once.

Although this value is nothing among defenders, as an inside player, it is already a very good result.

Many small forwards can't handle the ball at this level.

However, if you want to increase from 70 to 71, you need to spend 400 points!

Dorsey has discovered a rule in practice. When the value reaches a fairly high level, it may be more cost-effective to use training to increase the attribute value than to use the sp value.

For example, to raise the dribbling attribute from 70 to 71, without special tasks, it may take four or five days to earn 400sp through training.

But if you focus on practicing ball control during training, if you practice hard for three or four hours a day, you may be able to increase your value by 1 point in three days.

Of course, the higher the number, the more time and energy it will take to improve through training.

What's more, it is impossible for Dorsey to practice only one event a day, nor is it possible to spend three or four hours practicing a special event, so it often takes more time to improve than to pass the sp value.

The remaining more than 1000 sp values ​​were added to the passing attribute by him, and his passing ability increased from 60 to 72.

But increasing it by 1 point requires 214 sp points.

When Dorsey's dribbling has increased to 70, his dribbling skills are very skilled. Not only can he easily complete the actions taught by TR Dunn, but he is also faster and at a lower height.

This really surprised the Rockets coaching staff. They really couldn't explain how Dorsey suddenly had such a strong ball-handling skill.

Dunn can only increase the difficulty for Dorsey, such as controlling two or three balls with both hands at the same time, while raising the standard, such as faster speed and lower height.

After discovering that Dorsey was still not troubled, he started advanced training, such as crossing obstacles and winding poles.

But Dorsey was still able to complete various training subjects excellently. For this, the well-informed Dunn was speechless. The only explanation could only be "Dorsey is a natural defender."

During this time, the Rockets practiced and played preseason games.

Run the lineup through the game, get familiar with the tactics, and constantly adjust the lineup.

McGrady's state is also constantly recovering. He is a genius. The poor state in the early stage is mainly because he did not train throughout the offseason.

Now after systematic training, his talent has been revealed again.

He also began limited-time extra practice under the tutelage of Wayne Hall.

Although the time is not long and the intensity is not great, Wayne Hall is already very happy. Every time he is with McGrady, his goatee can't wait to stand up.

Every time he saw Hall like this, Dorsey felt a little like a lemon: Is this true love?

Don't blame Dorsey Lemon, when there is Tracy McGrady on the training ground, Hall only has him in his eyes. A light bulb in the way.

Dorsey wants to cry but has no tears: No matter how good the mistress is, she can't compare with the original partner!
McGrady played better and better. In the last preseason game, against the Kings, McGrady finally played a wonderful performance.

Made 15 goals in 8 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 22 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds.

The Rockets heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone knows that this double-double announced the return of the king!
The number one star finally got back to his form before the start of the regular season!Although this is not the best McGrady, but as the season progresses, he will definitely get better and better!
And Dorsey's playing time is also increasing steadily. Although he is in the paint as Yao Ming's substitute and has not played as a guard yet, Dorsey can feel that Coach Adelman's trust in him is growing day by day.

Everything is going well for the Rockets, the only thing that is a bit of a headache is that Kenny Thomas's junk contract is not easy to deal with.

After all, a one-year contract of more than 800 million US dollars was considered a considerable burden in the era when salaries had not yet exploded.

However, under the general trend of everything going well, this little trouble is really not a big deal.

Finally, the 2008-2009 regular season seems to have started.
