Chapter 403 Apprenticeship to Jimmy Butler

Mu Chenfeng met with an important guest, this person is Jimmy Butler who has retired for ten years.

Just a few days ago, Jimmy Butler, who is known as a tough guy, was just nominated for the "Hall of Fame". He has a good chance of entering the NBA Hall of Fame this year. After learning that he is currently holding a basketball training camp in Houston, Mu Chenfeng went to the training camp to visit him during the rest time.

Holding basketball training camps is the employment choice of many NBA stars after retiring, which can bring them a lot of income, especially the basketball training camps held by some famous basketball stars with certain abilities will attract many active stars to join, and improve their skills through discussions and exchanges with these seniors.

For example, Kobe Bryant training camp, Michael Jordan training camp, Olajuwon basketball training camp, etc., when these training camps open every year, they will attract a large number of stars to join.

This year is no exception. Jimmy Butler set up his basketball training camp in Houston, but unlike other training camps, Jimmy Butler's training camp is of a public welfare nature. During the season, all the stars of the teams who go to Houston to play away games can conduct short-term training in the training camp, and this training camp will also last from the beginning of the season to the end of the season.

There are many other retired stars in the Jimmy Butler training camp, such as Heat star Dwyane Wade, Lakers star LeBron James, Thunder star Chris Paul, Melon Carmelo Anthony, etc. These players will also pass on their housekeeping skills to the younger generations in the training camp.

In a sense, this is a kind of inheritance.

After Mu Chenfeng lost the game against the Trail Blazers, he immediately called Jimmy Butler. During the call, Mu Chenfeng expressed his appeal. Jimmy Butler was full of interest in this young man who had high demands on him, so he readily agreed to his request and invited James and Wade to help Mu Chenfeng.

When Mu Chenfeng came to the training camp, Jimmy Butler, James and Wade had been waiting for a long time again. Since it was the season, there were very few NBA players in the training camp. Most of them were amateurs training. The training camp arranged special personnel to train them, and these three hall of famers are Mu Chenfeng's special trainers today.

When the three big shots appeared in front of Mu Chenfeng at the same time, Mu Chenfeng was somewhat intimidated. As expected of a player who once dominated the NBA, although he has retired for many years, his aura of kingship has not diminished in the slightest.

This is the arrogance that a ruler should have.

"Senior." Mu Chenfeng greeted the three of them respectfully.

Unexpectedly, the painting style changed suddenly, and the three people who were serious just now suddenly became nervous and laughed heartily.

At this time, Mu Chenfeng remembered that these three people were all "funny" in the first place. Needless to say, LeBron James has countless emoticons in his career. As his good brother, Dwyane Wade is not different in this respect. The brother was taken aback, and since then he has become an out-and-out "funny master", and funny videos about him on the Internet are also popular.

Such a relaxed style of painting also made Mu Chenfeng relax a lot. However, the three of them seemed to be joking and carefree on the surface, but when they got to the training ground, when they got the basketball in their hands, they regained the feeling of the previous game.

Their "stubbornness" and "rigor" towards competition and training continued until many years after retirement, and this character has been integrated into their lives.

According to Mu Chenfeng's request, this training is mainly aimed at improving his defensive ability. In this regard, he has found the right person. The three people standing in front of him are all well-educated in defensive ability. The most shot-blocking defender above the gods, if these three people form a team, the opponent may not average 60 points per game.

The reason why Mu Chenfeng made an appointment for a training session before the game against the Houston team was because he was obsessed with that rebound. Three days ago, he missed the record by one rebound, and he tried his best but failed to get the last rebound from the Jazz. Therefore, Mu Chenfeng wanted to improve his defensive ability before the game, including rebounds, blocks and steals.

After three hours of training, Mu Chenfeng got what he wanted from the three of them, and his defensive ability was further improved.

Although the three of them had some guidance for Mu Chenfeng, Mu Chenfeng still only chose Jimmy Butler as his "teacher". After all, he was the man he was closest to. From the unknown 30th pick in the first round to the All-Stars and then to the Hall of Fame, Jimmy Butler's career was an inspirational model.

After the training, Butler, James, and Wade gave Mu Chenfeng their signed jerseys from their player days. Stars were embroidered on their respective jerseys, which was a symbol of the number of championships.

Mu Chenfeng left the training camp with three jerseys and returned to the hotel to join the team. When Wade and Barrett asked what Mu Chenfeng was doing, Mu Chenfeng just pursed his lips and did not answer. Little Wade never thought that his father had already come to Houston and taught Mu Chenfeng his housekeeping skills.

At 3:00 p.m., the Heat team completed the last group training. Due to the number of games, the Heat team’s game was scheduled to start at 5:[-] p.m. After a short rest, the team took the bus to the Toyota Center to welcome the team’s third away game.
