God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 521 Mark, You Should Lose Weight
Chang Wei's rebirth changed many things, such as when Gasol Jr. landed in the NBA.

In his previous life, he was selected by the Lakers in the 2007 draft, but he stayed in Spain to play. Later, the Lakers traded his signing rights to the Grizzlies. It was not until a year later that he went to Memphis and became the core of the Grizzlies.But now he has joined Girona Arcasva Island in the Spanish First Division one year in advance. This year, his contract just expires, and he himself hopes to enter the NBA.

After the draft, in an interview with the Spanish media, Gasol said excitedly: "It is my dream to enter the NBA. My brother Paul has shown his strength there, and now it is my turn. The Bobcats are a young team, but being young has its benefits, and I can get more playing time in Charlotte."

When asked if he could get used to life in the United States soon, Gasol laughed: "Before I played for Barcelona, ​​I played at the Lausanne Academy in Memphis, and since 2001 I moved to Memphis with my parents. Suburbs, so it's not a problem for me. The only thing I have to do is to train hard, play hard, and become better than my brother!"

Little Gasol did what he said. The day before the official start of the training camp, he came to the Bobcats' training hall to report.Even if he didn't declare his family name, the Bobcats players who had come to practice in advance knew who he was. Except for his stronger body, his face was carved out of the same mold as Gasol. I have played against the Grizzlies a lot.

At this time, the members of the coaching staff were still meeting in the office, and the team leader, Roy, did his part to undertake the reception task.He walked up to him, warmly hugged Gasol, and stumbled in the Spanish he had learned suddenly during this time: "Hello...very...welcome...we...are teammates... Good luck!"

Just as Roy was sweating profusely, Gasol said in English proficiently: "It's okay, I can understand English, I have lived in the United States for a long time, so you don't speak Spanish No problem either."

Roy breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't have much talent for learning Spanish. If he wanted to chat with Gasol in Spanish every day, he felt that he might as well just hit the wall.In this way, the atmosphere became more harmonious. Roy hurriedly introduced his teammates to Gasol. Now that the coach is not here for the time being, it is his job to help newcomers integrate into the team.

By the time Gasol got acquainted with everyone, the members of the coaching staff had already finished their meeting and came to the training ground.Chang Wei saw Gasol Jr. standing in the center of the field at a glance. His size is really conspicuous, but in Chang Wei's view, Gasol Jr.'s current size is not yet able to adapt to the intensity of the NBA game. More training has to be done before the season starts.

Jackson introduced the assistant coaches responsible for different tasks to Gasol one by one. When it was Chang Wei's turn, he added: "I am often responsible for the daily training of all our players. If you want to become stronger, just do it. find him."

Little Gasol looked at the indifferent Chang Wei, and a puzzled look flashed across his face.But he was soon relieved that this Asian should have real talents, otherwise, even if the Bobcats are a team that has just been established for one season, it is impossible to hand over all the training to him, and he seems to have heard My brother mentioned this name before, so I have to ask again if it is specific.

Today Jackson did not arrange training. The players started to practice spontaneously after reporting. However, they generally set training goals for themselves based on their lack of performance. To conduct scientific training, the coaching staff especially Chang Wei worked hard.Soon all the Bobcats players came to the training hall. After everyone got acquainted with each other, Jackson asked other assistant coaches to take them to a basic physical fitness test to provide a data basis for Chang Wei to formulate a training plan.

Chang Wei deliberately walked beside Gasol, smiled and said to him: "Mark, I am relieved to see that you can come. If you want to play in Spain for another year, I am really worried about slowing down. The team will continue to move forward.”

The words were very plain, but Gasol could hear something different from them. You must know that he is only a second-round pick, and Chang Wei obviously put him in a very high position.He was a little flattered and said: "Compared to other teammates, I am still far behind. There is still a difference between the Spanish league and the NBA. I hope to become better here."

Chang Wei smiled, and asked again: "What do you think is your biggest problem now? Or what area needs improvement?"

Little Gasol scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "I don't know too well, but I know that I can still continue to improve."

Chang Wei stood on tiptoe and patted his arm, and said seriously: "Mark, I think you should lose weight now!"

ah?Gasol opened his mouth wide in surprise. You must know that he is invincible in the interior by virtue of his huge size on the court. If he loses weight, how can he make a living at the basket?He groaned and said, "Chang, are you joking? I'm a center. If even the center doesn't have enough weight, I don't know who can guard the basket."

"I'm not joking with you." Chang Wei shook his head and said, "In my opinion, in the near future, traditional center forwards who stand on their feet will inevitably decline. In addition to sitting at the basket, the new center forwards must also be able to defend against pick-and-roll players. A small player must be able to defend high positions and recover quickly, and may even practice a one-handed three-point shot, weight is really not of much use.”

Little Gasol obviously didn't believe it, and Chang Wei didn't expect to convince him now, anyway, the body fat percentage will be measured later, and the data can explain a lot of things.Sure enough, during the test, Gasol's body fat rate exceeded 12%, which is unqualified for a professional basketball player. Comparing the test results of other people, Gasol lowered his head in shame.

Chang Wei smiled and said: "Mark, you can follow me for special training during the training camp. You don't need to lose weight, but your body fat percentage must be reduced to a normal level. At least you must improve your flexibility. This is good for you to play singles with the ball under the basket. I have seen your game highlights, you have a strong ability to finish at the basket, and you have a certain level of shooting, but I don’t want you to grow into a pure inside offensive big Killer, maybe you can watch the game videos of your European predecessors, such as Sabonis and Divac, I believe you will be better than them in the future."
