I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 150 Kassel's Devil Training
After the "good deed" of Li Yang who gave up dunking to protect Beverly in the team confrontation, and the tough "evil deed" of beating Harris in the locker room, Li Yang played both soft and hard, and all the Clippers finally willingly accepted the fact that Li Yang is the core of the Clippers' offensive organization in the new season.

Including Harris, who was beaten, in fact, Harris is a very ambitious person. He only wants to get a position and seek a big contract, but he is directly forced by Li Yang with force.

To put it bluntly, not only is it because Li Yang is valued by the management, but also the overall outlook and strength shown in the team training game have convinced the Clippers players.

Now the situation is clear. If you still oppose it, then this kind of player with too low EQ may not be able to survive in the NBA.

In the locker room, Li Yang didn't just pretend to be a big boss, he could still accept appropriate pranks and small jokes between his teammates.

After all, Li Yang wants to lead the Clippers farther in the new season, instead of just being the captain of a broken ship.

Delgado felt that he was signed by the Clippers because of Li Yang's credit, so he regarded Li Yang as his "boss". Although Li Yang was much younger than him, the boss was not ranked according to age.

On the third day of the training camp, the training began to enter the second item, physical fitness and strength training.

Rookies work out separately from other players.

It was the team's trainer Kassel who led the four rookies Li Yang, Alexander, Jawan Evans (sophomore), and Sindarius Thornwell (sophomore) to train.

At this moment, Cassel has changed into a sportswear, looking fit and full of vitality.

According to Cassel, before the start of the preseason, the four of them, including Li Yang, will spend at least half of their time on physical fitness and strength training.

"Strength training is not the same as simple weightlifting." Cassel told the four popular science, "Before entering the NBA, you have more or less exercised yourself, but I believe that you have never done formal and professional strength training."

"As for physical training, lads, hey, I can guarantee that you will definitely have a new understanding of this training."

Li Yang suddenly had an ominous premonition.After running 40 laps around the field, even Li Yang almost threw up.

At this moment, Li Yang clearly realized his own shortcomings. Although he was able to overwhelm Harris, his stamina was still far behind.

According to Li Yang's understanding, the standard size of a basketball court is 28 by 15 meters, and one lap is 86 meters. After 40 laps, it is about 3.4 kilometers.

Although the distance is not particularly long, not everyone can stand the high-frequency running speed.

Under Kassel's supervision, the speed of the four of them in the running circle has never slowed down. Once someone shows that they can't keep up, Kassel will immediately step forward to cheer, encourage, threaten, ridicule, and even deduct money.

When Li Yang crossed the finish line first, Cassel pinched the stopwatch expressionlessly, then shook his head vigorously.

"It's so disappointing to me, you guys are the worst rookies I've ever led."

Such a familiar line, I think the head teacher in high school said that about us back then! ! !
Li Yang gulped down the water, he had never felt so thirsty before.

Running at a high pace is much more tiring than playing basketball for the same amount of time.

"Boss, I didn't expect such a large amount of exercise in physical training." Alexander was leaning against Li Yang, drinking water, and complaining secretly.

"Clap clap clap!"

Cassell's clapping rallies sounded.

"Boys, have you rested enough? It was just a warm-up exercise. Now let's go straight to the topic!"

"Pfft..." The water that Alexander had just poured into his mouth spewed out immediately.

Cassel took Li Yang and the others to the gym.

Cassel said: "Strength training actually includes physical training. Your muscular endurance and explosive power have not been fully developed. This is also the purpose of my training for you."

"The importance of strength, one is to ensure that you have enough physical strength and endurance to stay on the court all the time, the other is to ensure that you will not suffer in physical confrontation, and the third is to improve core strength, fully develop the potential of the body, and better display the technical movements that are usually practiced on the court!"

"Let's start with the barbell squat, which has been the most important of all workouts for a long time. People call the squat the 'king of strength training.'"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Li Yang started to do barbell squats according to Cassel's request.

15 sets, rest 30 seconds between each set, a total of eight sets.

This movement of repeatedly standing and squatting on the shoulders with a barbell and a weight mainly exercises the muscles of the thighs.

Li Yang easily completed the first set of movements, so easy!

The second set of movements was as smooth as ever, and it was as easy as drinking water and eating.

Li Yang couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: It seems that the eight sets of movements will end soon.

In the third set of movements, the thighs reacted slightly and began to feel swollen and painful.

For the fourth set of movements, the thighs are like burning.

Li Yang gritted his teeth and finished the fifth set of movements.

The sixth set of movements... the thighs are filled with lead!
The seventh set of movements... trembling like an old lady, barely completed.

After finishing the eighth group with difficulty, Li Yang felt that his third leg was no longer his own.

Even dimly, Li Yang saw his own fat, which seemed to turn red and started to burn.

In the firelight, Alexander's grinning expression of pain was also reflected.

This guy just made his fifth set of bench presses.

And this physical fitness and strength training directly improved Li Yang's two attributes.

Strength, guaranteed resistance strength.

Bounce and create space for the shot.

Li Yang saw the importance of strength training.

In fact, this is easy to explain. The gap between players from Asia and Europe and the United States is not in technology, but in strength.

For example, if the Chinese men's basketball team only counts the first quarter, it can definitely be regarded as a world-class team.

From the second quarter on, things went from bad to worse.

There is also the Chinese flying man Su Bingtian. His speed in the first 60 meters is absolutely world-class and can beat Bolt, but he can't do it in the next 40 meters.

Why?

Can't stand it! ! !
Physical fitness and stamina are not enough.

But the reason is still power!

Strength guaranteed to last! ! !

Strength guarantees hardness! ! !

Durability and hardness are attributes that every man dreams of.

Back to the topic, Li Yang's daily training subjects: tactical explanations, tactical drills, physical training, and basic skills training.

Since training with Cassel, Li Yang has not spent a day without pain and improvement.

Once upon a time, Li Yang thought that playing basketball was simply competing on the court.

Training is to practice dribbling and practice shooting.

But now Li Yang feels like he is practicing fighting.

Tactical explanation in the morning, actual combat practice in the afternoon! ! !
After a week of training, Li Yang has adapted to the rhythm of physical training, while others are not so lucky.

For this reason, without waiting for Li Yang to be happy for two days, Cassel increased the difficulty for him alone, which made him regret instantly, shouldn't he be so good, isn't it good to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?
I remember when I was in school, there was always that one person who just smiled at you and defeated you.

For example, the head teacher standing quietly at the back door is definitely a demonic existence.

And now...

When Cassel appeared with a smile on his face, he was like a devil.

Li Yang immediately pretended to be scared, not to be too abrupt, but for the other rookies, their calves really started to shake...

"Don't be nervous, let's play a little easier today..."

"Hehe, this bad old man is very bad, I believe you big head!!!" Everyone rolled their eyes neatly.

The first three days were like hell.

Li Yang, who loves basketball, feels that the training time is so long, but it is so fulfilling, and he truly feels his improvement every day.

Especially when it comes to fitness and strength training.

Excited and happy, he gradually fell in love with this feeling.

Mentally, he was always on the verge of extreme excitement and collapse, and there was no place in his body that was not sour, but it was full of real strength.

This muscle soreness even affects dribbling and shooting.

After a week, Li Yang has gradually adapted.

Both mentally and physically.

The soreness of the muscles gradually disappeared, and instead, the body seemed to learn to breathe, and the whole world became clear.

The barbell also seemed to become lighter, and it even gave him the illusion that if he was given a fulcrum, he could lift the entire earth and gravity would disappear.

As the saying goes: It’s fun to play iron for a while, but it’s always fun to use iron all the time. (Of course, the iron needs to be moderated. There is a saying: forceful masturbation will be wiped out!!!)

two weeks later...

Li Yang has fully adapted to Kassel's devil's physical training, and his performance is even more like a duck to water, making Kassel call it abnormal.

After just two weeks of devil training, Li Yang not only has a much clearer vision on the court, but his speed is more than a notch faster.

But what made him quite depressed was that the calluses on his ten fingers sprung up one after another like mushrooms after rain.

So much so that sometimes when I activate my right hand in the evening, I feel sore.
