God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 496 This Is Not Torture

"Dako, let's go a little deeper. This is training for footsteps under the basket, not shooting, OK?"

"Did all the previous strength training be for nothing? I didn't realize until now that you are a paper man, what a waste..."

"The landing point, the landing point, you have to learn to judge the trajectory of the rebound, can you beat the big bucks with your body?"

While Milicic was fighting Brand and Ben on the field, he also had to endure Chang Wei's voice from time to time.Anyone who is doing something seriously is very impatient with someone always nagging, and Milicic is the same, but he knows that this is to make himself stronger, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. Put all your energy into the confrontation.

Both Brand and Ben are very tight on time. The former can only stay for a week, and the latter only has three days. As famous players, they both have other things to do.So Chang Wei simply spent all his training time on one-on-one, allowing Milicic to adapt to the NBA starting-level confrontation as soon as possible. After all, there is not much time before the start of the preseason.

Milicic feels that it is a kind of torture to face Brand and Ben every day. His ability has not yet reached the level of confrontation with these two. However, Chang Wei asked him to try his best to face toughness instead of always shooting. Solve the problem.

In Chang Wei's view, Milicic's mid-range and long-range shooting is indeed very important, but as a center, he must go to the basket when the team needs it, and the three-point shooting cannot be maintained every quarter At a high level, a strong attack at the basket is a good way to break the game at this time.Three-pointer Milicic can ask Brand for some advice, but facing an opponent like Daben, Chang Wei strictly requires him to go to the basket and play singles with the ball more, as long as he can barely compete with Daben.

However, Milicic's determination to become stronger is commendable. Although he was humiliated by two powerful opponents every day, he never conceded defeat. At most, he rested for a while and rejoined the confrontation.This made Chang Wei feel very relieved. It seems that Milicic has abandoned the experience of being left out in the past and is ready to start again in Charlotte.

For Milicic's progress, in addition to Chang Wei who has a system, Brand and Big Ben who are fighting against him also have a very intuitive feeling.When he left, Da Ben had a rare smile on his face. He looked at Milicic who was still sweating profusely on the court, and said to Chang Wei: "This guy is worthy of being a rookie of the golden generation in 2003. He still has talent. Now He's improved a lot around the rim, not enough to break my defense, but above average in the league."

The departure of Daben made Milicic feel very sorry. In one-on-one, he deeply felt the strong strength of the champion center, which also forced him to do better in footwork and post-up singles.In addition, Milicic's ability to finish at the basket has also improved a lot. Of course, most of the time he is used to using hooks to finish, but layups will be blocked.

Training with Brand is relatively easy.Milicic will only play one-on-one against Big Ben, because the two are completely different types, and he has nothing to learn except rebounding.Brand is different. This stocky insider is very good at attacking the basket and shooting three-pointers. After all, he is an excellent insider trained by Chang Wei in Villanova University. The two can discuss with each other besides the competition. The way of attack, which also benefited Milicic a lot.

They were both trained by Chang Wei. It can be said that Brand and Milicic have a fellowship, and Brand has a bold personality, so he spared no effort in guiding Milicic. Chang Wei often laughed at him when he said that when the time comes to teach The apprentice starved to death of the master, and Brand always laughed and didn't care. He knew that Chang Wei was joking, otherwise he wouldn't have called himself to Charlotte.

A week passed quickly, and after Milicic sent away Da Ben, he was going to send away his second good teacher and helpful friend.Seeing Milicic's reluctance, Brand patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, Darko, I am looking forward to playing against you in the regular season, and I hope your performance at that time will not disappoint me." .And, you have to believe Chang, he thinks you can do it, you will be able to succeed, the past three years can be regarded as a dream, now you can start again in Charlotte, that's great!"

Milicic nodded vigorously. There is nothing better than the praise of his opponent. Although Brand is not his opponent, he never shows mercy in one-on-one. He can barely be regarded as an opponent. .Now Brand actually affirmed his own strength, which further boosted Milicic's confidence, and he began to look forward to the upcoming new season.

Brand's departure means that Chang Wei's special training for Milicic is basically over, and the reborn Milicic will then participate in the team's joint training.For the sake of Milicic, Jackson postponed the start of the team's joint training for three days. This was only rescheduled at Chang Wei's strong request. He still had some doubts about Milicic's strength.

After all, Milicic had been sitting on the bench for almost three years before this. Among the high-ranking rookies of the golden generation in 2003, he was the worst. He couldn't even get a starting position, and his personal data was even more lackluster.Jackson believes in Chang Wei's ability, but Milicic's special training time is not very long. He finds it hard to believe that Chang Wei can transform Milicic in such a short period of time, and three days is already the upper limit he can accept Yes, the summer league will start soon, we must hurry up.

The night before the start of the joint practice, Jackson deliberately went to chat with Chang Wei, but he still had no idea.Chang Wei is very clear about the thoughts of his good friend, but he is not angry because of Jackson's doubts. coaching potential.

Facing the impatient Jackson, Chang Wei smiled and said, "Damon, don't you still believe in my strength?"

Jackson smiled bitterly: "Chang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Darko's previous performance was really bad, and the time you gave him special training is still too short, I think it's better to let Sharif play the center forward, and let David Or Jason playing power forward..."

"No, Damon, you're wrong," Chang Wei said categorically, "It has nothing to do with the length of the special training to what level Darko can grow. He was originally a very talented big man, but he was selected His team just didn't give him enough room to grow, and what I did before was to bring out his potential, which was a natural thing."
