Chapter 409 Four o'clock in the morning
At 4:15 in the morning, Mu Chenfeng arrived at the training hall on time.

At this time, Texas was still submerged in peace and tranquility. All Mu Chenfeng heard along the way was the singing of cicadas from the surrounding fields.

The time agreed with the trainer was 4:30. Mu Chenfeng arrived at the arena ahead of time, but the trainer Knight is a guy with a strong sense of time. He can even control the time within milliseconds. He will not arrive early at the agreed time, and of course he will not be late.

At 4:30, on the hour, Knight slowly emerged from the darkness in good spirits. Since Knight became Mu Chenfeng's exclusive trainer, he arrived at the arena five days a week, seven days a week.

The meeting between the two was very ordinary. After a simple greeting, they walked towards the interior of the arena tacitly. Mu Chenfeng had already greeted the staff in the training hall in advance. Now the lights in the training hall have been turned on, waiting for that crazy man.

To be precise, the lights of the arena were on all night, and the staff of the arena would not deliberately get up early to turn on the lights for Mu Chenfeng.

After Mu Chenfeng entered the stadium and changed his equipment, he held a meeting for warm-up. Knight was very particular about the warm-up process. In his opinion, a player’s performance on the field or in training was directly related to the warm-up. Only a sufficient and effective warm-up could allow the player to perform at its best.

The two first jogged around the venue. The speed is not fast, but it is faster than walking. This can activate the sleeping cells in the body, and then stretch the whole body, activating the joints and muscles from the upper limbs to the lower limbs. Do two sets of each stretching exercise to ensure that the body is fully activated.

The whole training will last for 4 hours and end at 9 o'clock in the morning. During this period, Mu Chenfeng must ensure that his training will not be disturbed by others. For this reason, he specially reserved the venue, and no one else will enter the venue until the end of the training.

The first thing to do is the mid-range shooting training. Shoot according to the predetermined points. There are 10 points in total. The first group requires 100 consecutive shots at each point and maintain a hit rate of more than 8%.

The next thing to do is physical training. The box jumping training mainly exercises jumping ability. Mu Chenfeng needs to complete jumps of different heights, from 50 cm to 130 cm. He has to complete 10 sets of training in total.

Turn back and run, start from the bottom line, touch each line on the basketball court in turn, then turn back, touch each line in turn, until you touch the opposite bottom line.

It took Mu Chenfeng about one and a half hours to complete these three trainings. After the training, his training clothes were already soaked. However, he had only completed about 1/1 of the whole training, and there were still strength and reaction training after that.

This amount of training shocked Knight who has played in the NBA for many years. He almost cared about abusing himself for training. He had never seen such a self-disciplined training performance from a player who had just entered the league.

This kind of training intensity reminded Knight of Kobe. It was also at four o'clock in the morning. Kobe used the crazy "666" devil training to create that powerful self. Kobe is the craziest player Knight has ever seen.

Although Mu Chenfeng's training volume is not as intense as Kobe Bryant's training, it is already very rare. After all, Kobe's devil training only started when his career was at its peak, and Mu Chenfeng's career has just started, and he has already done things that many players in the league cannot do.

Moreover, Mu Chenfeng's training is definitely not a show. He is very focused on every training task, and even a little paranoid, but in Knight's view, this kind of paranoia is the quality that must be possessed to become a strong man. Throughout the history of the NBA, all superstars who can be counted are more or less paranoid.

This is the secret of why Mu Chenfeng was able to break so many records when he first joined the league.

Is he really just a 19-year-old "kid"?

Knight was shocked by Mu Chenfeng's attitude and the intensity he could endure during training. Every time he improved in training, his progress and improvement were visible to the naked eye, and even that was a level that many professional players could only achieve in one month, two months or even half a year.

Mu Chenfeng is the most basketball-obsessed player Knight has ever seen. Not even one of the top players in the league can do this. Even during training intervals, Mu Chenfeng will always hold a basketball in his hand, either dribbling or shooting. All in all, after a day of training, except for bare-handed training, he really can't leave the ball.

Even when he was summing up training and communicating with Knight, Mu Chenfeng communicated while clapping the ball.

After each training session, Knight would feel sore all over, and it would take a while to get over it.

At 9:00 in the morning, the training ended on time, and Knight could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He slumped on the bench, enjoying the sunshine, while Mu Chenfeng was holding the ball and shooting.

Based on this alone, Knight saw the potential of becoming a king from this young man. After the training, he could go home and sleep and take a rest, but Mu Chenfeng still had competitions after him, and what was even more incredible was that under such high-intensity consumption, he was able to perform so efficiently in the competitions, breaking records one after another.

After finishing the private training, the team arranged a joint team training at 2:00 in the afternoon. Due to Mu Chenfeng's habit of training alone, the team only arranged for him to participate in tactical joint training every time. As for other shooting training and physical training, he was not required to participate, but every time Mu Chenfeng followed the team to complete all training, but the intensity was reduced appropriately.

After training, the players relax in an "ice bucket" in the locker room. This kind of relaxation can relieve muscle fatigue faster and help the players recover their physical fitness in the shortest possible time.

When Mu Chenfeng put his feet in the ice bucket for the first time, he was not used to it, but after a long time, he gradually fell in love with this session, and he also got a lot of benefits from it. His outstanding performance on the field is inseparable from the relaxation of the ice bucket.
