Chapter 604 Personal Training Camp

After Ying Xiong finished participating in various championship ceremonies, he handed over various affairs in North America to his agent Bill Duffy, and then flew directly back to China.He hasn't been back for a long time, and he was busy playing games during the Spring Festival. His longing for his hometown has also reached its peak, and he has already returned home.

Ying Xiong's hometown has changed a lot, even if it is only less than a year, it still gives him a refreshing feeling.He has been away from home for many years, no matter how much he earns and no matter how prosperous the outside world is, in his eyes, it is not as good as the grass and trees in his hometown.

The Chinese men's basketball team sent a congratulatory message to celebrate him winning the championship.Of course, the purpose of their contacting him was not just to congratulate him on winning the championship. The 2013 Men's Basketball Asian Championships will start soon. As the core of China, they will naturally invite him to play for the country.

Ying Xiong does not resist winning glory for the country, even if it will affect his training to some extent.The schedule of the Asian Championships is short, but the training camp is long.However, as an NBA superstar, just after the fierce finals, the men's basketball team still gave him the green light, allowing him not to participate in all training camps.

After Ying Xiong returned to China, he didn't stay at home for two days, and was dragged by Li Jianwu to participate in some business activities.He doesn't resist these things. Compared with training and competitions, this kind of business activity is really not tiring.And as his reputation grew, his commercial value also increased. He felt that it was necessary for him to develop his own commercial value reasonably.

Ying Xiong is not that keen on making money, but he is not so high-minded that he rejects it.As long as it is a compliant and legal business activity, which can increase your income, increase your influence, and better promote and develop your image, why not do it?
Ying Xiong is not busy with participating in business activities and accepting interviews with some domestic media. He is contacting his good friends and trainers in the NBA and plans to start special training in July.For him, the offseason is a good time to improve himself. He is not strong enough to fully indulge himself. In order to climb higher mountains, he needs stronger skills and body.

Ying Xiong was in China, but he was also very concerned about the situation in North America.On July 7, he got the latest news that the deal between the Knicks and the Raptors about his teammate-Italian No. 1 pick Bargnani has been approved by the NBA.The Knicks will get 2006 No. 2016 pick Andrea Bargnani in this deal.For this reason, the chips paid by the Knicks are Marcus Camby, Steve Novak, plus a [-] first-round pick and two future second-round picks.

Ying Xiong has never participated in the specific affairs of the team. He is very clear that he is a player and should not interfere with the team's operations based on his reputation or status.Running the team is what the management should do, and he didn't know about the deal with teammate Bargnani before the average fans.

It's just that in Ying Xiong's view, Bargnani's future in the team is not stable.In these two seasons, this big man who can play inside and outside has provided his own energy for the team's excellent record, but his frequent injuries have also caused his state to fluctuate greatly.After returning from injury this season, his state has declined from before, and he even became a weakness for opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals.As a champion insider, if it only has the effect of opening up space, and it is not stable, and has the attribute of glass, then it really becomes a tasteless "tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard".And this tasteless annual salary will exceed 1000 million in the future, so it is not so surprising that he was traded.

Things are not that simple, because the salary cap of the 2013-2014 season is about to take effect, so the deal about Bargnani was not approved by the NBA in the first place.According to media reports, the Knicks may also need to add a minimum-salary player in this deal, and El Baron or Quentin Richardson may be signed first and then traded.And because Bargnani has a compensation clause in his contract, he will then receive another $50 transaction compensation.According to the regulations, the transaction can only be officially completed on July 7, US time.

Ying Xiong believes that regardless of the process, it is almost a certainty that Bargnani will be traded.He has seen the news released by Steve Novak on social media, and he is also waiting for the official announcement. Fortunately, he will greet his old teammates who have fought side by side for two years and welcome the new players.As the boss of the team, you must have the attitude you should have.

Ying Xiong's training invitation has been accepted by many teammates and NBA players, including Jeremy Lin, DeRozan, Terrence Ross, Landry Fields and Aaron Gray in the Raptors, as well as Kyle from other teams. Korver, Tyson Chandler, Courtney Lee and others.

Ying Xiong was very happy that so many players accepted his invitation. He asked his agent Bill Duffy to arrange a training camp in California, and he paid for all the expenses.

With the gradual improvement of his status in the NBA, Ying Xiong's commercial value is also one of the best in the entire league, and the income brought to him seems to have doubled in growth rate.

On July 7, Ying Xiong's personal training camp officially opened in California.Since adding manpower to the training team during the offseason of last season, Ying Xiong's personal team has formed a considerable size this season.There are several trainers alone, including physical fitness, strength, shooting and other trainers, as well as exclusive nutritionists, masseuses, technical and tactical consultants, etc.

The other NBA players who came to the training camp all secretly clicked their tongues at Ying Xiong's huge investment in training and physical maintenance.A person's success is inseparable from some unknown behind-the-scenes teams, and Ying Xiong has high demands on himself, which can be seen from the start of the training camp shortly after winning the championship.

Yingxiong's goal in the offseason is to improve his 3-point shooting, including 3-point catch after running without the ball and 3-point shooting with the ball.He won the scoring title last season, and his 3-point field goal percentage reached a career high of 43.0%, which ranks among the top in the entire NBA.But in fact, his scoring sources are mainly 2-pointers and free throws, and he rarely shoots 3-pointers.And the less you shoot in the second half of the season, the less likely you are to shoot 3-pointers in the playoffs, because you are more cautious and more efficient, and you will be more inclined to use your most confident scoring method.

Ying Xiong wants to train the 3-pointer specially. The purpose is to make the 3-pointer not only his regular scoring method, but also one of his trump cards, to help the team win, and also to make the opponent dare not shoot himself a 3-pointer at the last moment of the game. points, increasing the difficulty of defending yourself.
