Chapter 289 Training and Trading

Ying Xiong didn't stay in BJ for a few days, then returned to his hometown, visited his parents, and visited his teacher Shao Ziqiang in the ancient city of Yuezhou City.

Then Ying Xiong returned to the United States non-stop, and under the arrangement of his agent Bill Duffy, he trained in Los Angeles, California.

Since he is still in the rookie contract, Yingxiong's future is not completely in his hands.If the deal doesn't happen, even if he proposes a deal, if the team insists on keeping him, he can only stay in the Bucks to finish the remaining two seasons.

The only thing people can fully grasp is themselves.For Xiong, only if he is strong enough can he succeed in the NBA.Just to be a dispensable role player, that's not his goal.He knows himself and can do more.

The training is so boring, but Ying Xiong is not afraid of hardship at all.No matter how hard it is, he still has to grit his teeth and persevere.This training focuses on off-ball offense and defense.Simply put, it is the ability that a 3D player needs.

Ying Xiong understands his situation very well. Whether he stays in the Bucks or is traded to another team, he is not James or Wade. No team will give him the possession of the ball.So if you want to gain a firm foothold in the team, you must practice off the ball well.

Off the ball improved a lot last season, but Ying Xiong is a person with high demands on himself. He feels that compared with top off-ball offensive players, he still lacks in running positions and opportunity selection. In terms of shots, the hit rate also needs to continue to improve.

And defense, whether you are the core or a role team, is needed.Ying Xiong knows very well that if he wants to stand on the court at critical moments, he must have qualified defensive ability.And if you want to be a starter, defensive ability is also a must.

A player who can defend without the ball can survive in any team and under any system.Ying Xiong's core position in the CBA and the Chinese men's basketball team has not yet been offered to him by any NBA team.In order to be able to survive, he must practice off the ball and defense.

During the off-ball and defense training period, Ying Xiong also joined in the European step layup and fixed-point 3-point practice.The European step layup was only noticed when he watched Harden use it frequently in the Rookie Challenge.Although I have seen other players use the European step layup before, but when I saw Harden use it, I felt the subtlety of this technique.In the past, in the process of breakthrough layups, he would also change his footsteps and direction to confuse or throw off his opponents, but he never really learned and used the European step.

In order to enrich his offensive methods and polish his offensive skills, Ying Xiong is like a sponge, taking great pleasure in absorbing the techniques he thinks are suitable for him and using them for himself.

With the help of his trainer, Ying Xiong trains hard every day.After training for about 10 days in this way, he specially visited the home of sharpshooter Kyle Korver and brought a Rolex watch as a meeting gift.

At Korver's home, Ying Xiong expressed his intention to come, hoping that he can guide his off-ball running and 3-point shooting.

Korver was very friendly and said that he was honored to have Ying Xiong's trust and was willing to help him train, but he was unwilling to accept gifts.

Of course, Ying Xiong couldn't let Korver spend his time helping him train in vain. It's better to talk about it and let the other party accept the gift.

Korver's Utah Jazz team was eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers 4:0 in the Western Conference semifinals, and he began his offseason tour.Ying Xiong's invitation made him feel very happy, the feeling of being appreciated and trusted is always very good.

Under Korver's guidance, Ying Xiong improved some of his mistakes in running positions and fine-tuned his shooting posture.Next, you only need to watch a large number of videos, and then train and consolidate.

It's easy to say, but not so easy to do.Without the cooperation of teammates, there is no actual combat simulation, so training will be very difficult.But Ying Xiong has made up his mind, no matter how hard it is, he must grit his teeth and persevere.For the dream, but also to be able to serve the country in a better state.

After Korver helped Ying Xiong finish training, Ying Xiong specially gave him a reward of 10 US dollars.At first he refused to accept it, but in the end he couldn't hold back Ying Xiong and accepted the money.

For Xiong, you can't ask others to help you for free, because others don't have this obligation.

With the 2010 draft looming, some trades have already begun.Ying Xiong's agent Bill Duffy told him that the Bucks have put him on the shelf and are accepting inquiries from other interested teams.At present, it seems that there are several teams interested in him, both in the East and in the West. The Bucks are evaluating his transaction value and seeking to maximize the benefits of the transaction.

Ying Xiong was not surprised by this news at all. During the offseason of last season, the Bucks had already put themselves on the shelf, but they had to keep themselves because they couldn't get a satisfactory bargaining chip.His own progress this season is obvious to all. Now is the time when the value of the transaction is high. In theory, it is more sensible to make a move at this time.

However, Ying Xiong knows that before the free market opens, there will be rumors about his trade, but there will be no substantial progress.It will definitely wait until the dust settles on LeBron and other big fish before the formal transaction will start.

Ying Xiongren is training in the United States, and the domestic men's basketball team has contacted him to let him participate in the training camp for the 2010 Turkish Men's Basketball World Championships.

For the World Championships, there is no doubt that Ying Xiong will participate.The overall competitiveness of the teams participating in the World Championships is much stronger than last year's Asian Championships.Of course he wants to fight for honor for the national team, and he also wants to compete with teams from other countries through such competitions, practice with competitions, and test his training results by the way.

However, because Ying Xiong still has personal affairs to deal with in the NBA, the men's basketball team also attaches great importance to him and gives him a special license to allow him to return to the team after handling his personal affairs.

Ying Xiong is still very grateful for the humanized management of the national team.Of course he also knew that if he hadn't possessed such strength and status, it would be impossible to receive such special treatment.

At 7:1 on July 12st, the NBA free market officially opened.As soon as the time came, news of contract renewals of various stars spread everywhere.In the next few days, there will be explosive news at any time, because the few big fish in the free market this year are all enough weight.

Ying Xiong is neither a free agent (the Bucks will definitely implement the team option) nor a big-name free agent, so naturally he cannot attract enough attention.His fate is easily affected by those big fish.
