Legendary basketball manager

Early the next morning, Shen Fei came to the training hall on time to watch the Rockets' routine joint training.

After a brief greeting with the players, the Asian youth sat with Mark Jackson on the bench next to the court and began to chat with each other.

"During this period, how did the two new players perform?"

Shen Fei asked casually.

"Ben and Yi have made more or less progress."

"Ben is the oldest player on the team, but he never slackens in any training."

"He trains seriously, and other people naturally don't dare to slack off, which can be regarded as a role model."

Mark Jackson replied with a smile.

"Well, that's good. I guess these little bastards, when they see Big Ben, feel like a mouse meeting a cat."

Shen Fei said jokingly.

Big Ben's bravery can be seen from his appearance.

Especially after coming to the Rockets, Da Ben changed back to the afro hairstyle under Shen Fei's suggestion.

Coupled with his tiger eyes and steel-like muscles, most people want to shy away when they see him.

"Well... the more playful personalities like Lowry and Curry have calmed down a bit after Da Ben came."

"However, Big Ben is really out of fuel now. Even if he is playing against the opponent's third team, he is a bit struggling."

"In the words of your Huaxia, the hero is late..."

Mark Jackson exclaimed.

Shen Fei smiled noncommittally, and continued: "What about Yi, how is he doing recently?"

"Yi's mentality has calmed down a lot recently, and he communicates with his teammates a lot more. It can be regarded as gradually integrating into the team."

"But his problem is somewhat similar to that of Daben, that is, his strength is not enough to support him in the game."

"It can be seen that Yi's talent is good, but the lack of some key abilities makes him often unable to use his strength."

Mark Jackson answered truthfully.

"Like shooting too slowly?"

Shen Fei said.

"Yeah! This is a big problem for Yi. In addition, his level of movement control has not reached the NBA level, which seriously restricts his development."

"At present, Yi needs his teammates to feed the cake to his mouth, so that he can get a certain amount of points. It is best not to dribble, can directly start under the basket, or have a chance to shoot from a wide open area."

Mark Jackson shook his head and said.

Speaking of this, it is basically "sentenced to death" for Yi Jianlian to enter the regular rotation.

"What if his [-]-point shooting improved a lot?"

"I don't just mean speed, but accuracy and stability."

Shen Fei asked.

"If Yi Neng can improve his three-point shooting to 40%, then it can be used."

"After all, he is 2 meters tall, and few people can interfere with him."

Mark Jackson replied seriously.

"Well, that's fine."

"Yi has changed his shooting posture in the past two days, and now it may be able to meet the standard you require."

Shen Fei smiled slightly.

Mark Jackson's expression was a little stiff, and he was about to squeeze out a smile.

[I changed my defensive posture in the past two days, and now I can meet my requirements? ]

[Please, my requirement is to achieve a [-]% hit rate in the game! The boss won't mistake it for the shooting percentage in the shooting training, right? ]

Mark Jackson secretly said in his heart, but he still didn't dare to ask more on the surface.

On the contrary, Shen Fei saw his doubts, and said firstly: "It's normal if you don't believe it, after a while the shooting practice and group confrontation are over, you will understand."

Mark Jackson nodded noncommittally, but it could be seen from his expression that he didn't believe it at all.

..............

Soon, training came to the module of shooting drills.

Under Shen Fei's request, the Rockets will practice three-pointers more than other teams in the league.

In every routine training, they have to set aside a special time, from the center forward to the point guard, they have to practice for a while.

Even Daben, who has only shot 7 three-pointers in his career, has to make a few symbolic shots after joining the Rockets.

Now, the Rockets will stand outside the three-point line one after another, ready to start shooting.

According to the rules of the three-point contest, Mark Jackson set five shooting points: left bottom corner, 45°, middle ground, right bottom corner, 45°.

Each player scores one on each point, and the player with the fewest goals per round is eliminated.

With Mark Jackson blowing the whistle, Curry took the lead.

He felt good today, hitting all 5 points.

McGrady was next, and he hit 4 of them.

Roy also hit 4, Yao Ming 3, Lowry 5...

Soon, only Big Ben and Yi Jianlian were left on the field without shooting.

Big Ben took the lead and took five shots, all of them wide...

He smiled awkwardly, shook his head and walked to the sidelines.

Next is Yi Jianlian, who played the finale.

After walking to the left corner, he took a deep breath and then bent his knees to catch the ball.

Curry made a temporary cameo as a ball boy and passed the ball to the UAE under the basket.

At the same time, Shen Fei on the sidelines smiled slightly and said, "Here we come."

The first ball... "唰～"

The second ball... "唰～"

The third ball... "唰～"

The fourth ball... "唰～"

The fifth ball... "唰～"

Of Yi Jianlian's five shots, all of them went into the net!

When he finished shooting, the Rockets present, including Mark Jackson off the court, were stunned!

Only Shen Fei had a calm face, as if everything was expected.

"He really... changed his shooting posture?!"

Mark Jackson opened his mouth slightly and asked in surprise.

On the field, Curry, Tracy McGrady and other shooting masters all looked at Ah Lian with strange faces.

It is not difficult to score five three-pointers in a row, and a strong shooter has a chance to do it.

What surprised them was that Yi Jianlian used a shooting posture that he had never used before.

This means that he gave up the muscle memory of the past and started from scratch!

Curry has also adjusted his shooting posture.

Therefore, he knows very well that even if it is only a very small adjustment, it will take a long time to adapt.

(Before entering college, Curry deliberately spent a summer vacation to adjust his shooting point from the chest to the forehead.)

You know, Curry's shooting talent is one of the best in the entire NBA history!

As talented as he is, under the guidance of his father, Dell Curry, who is also an excellent shooter, it took two months to completely form a new muscle memory.

But now, Yi Jianlian seems to have completed the adjustment of his shooting posture in just two days or even less!

What's even more exaggerated is that Ah Lian's actions have broken away from the category of "fine-tuning"...

He has completely changed his posture!

"This shooting posture is a bit like Rashard Lewis."

Maddie wondered.

When he said this, Yao Ming, Ben Wallace and others in the team, who were a little older, felt the same way.

"That... Is it possible that this time is due to luck?" Lowry timidly raised his doubts: "I respect Yi very much, but it is really unrealistic to master new shooting moves in a short period of time."

"I think so."

"We just practiced together two days ago. It's impossible for someone to change his shooting position in two days."

Roy said lightly.

When the Yellow Mamba first entered the league, his shooting movements were not very standardized.

He has a nice shooting hand and a lot of power in his legs, but his upper body is a bit out of touch, which makes his shots often short.

For this reason, Roy spent a lot of time adjusting.

This is why he firmly expressed his views at this time.

Just as Lowry was about to continue talking, Mark Jackson on the sidelines suddenly blew his whistle: "Why are you still chatting? Hurry up to the next round. There will be a group match in a while!"

Everyone gave up and started queuing again.

............

Still Curry voted first.

Feeling hot, he still made all five shots.

McGrady followed suit and also hit 5 goals.

Roy 5 goals, Yao Ming 4 goals, Lowry 4 goals, George 5 goals, Tucker 2 goals (two bottom corners)...

Finally, it was time for Yi Jianlian to shoot again.

This time, he only needs to make three goals to advance to the next round.

"Shu~"

"Shu~"

"Shu~"

......

Yi Jian teamed up and hit all five shots again!

This made Lowry, who had just questioned him, a little embarrassed.

Roy looked at Yi Jianlian like a monster, his face full of disbelief.

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson was also stunned: "Boss, Yi Ta...won't he really practice a beautiful three-pointer?"

Shen Fei nodded with a smile, and vowed: "Just use him as Rashad Lewis who has weakened ball handling but more stable shooting."

"Is this true?"

Mark Jackson was overjoyed.

Rashard Lewis is also Mr. Billionaire, and his strength should not be underestimated.

If Yi Jianlian has his [-]% success, even if he can't play the starting lineup, it is definitely more than enough for a regular rotation!

"A tall turret with a height of 2 meters, the physical fitness is still very strong, Mark, I really envy you as the head coach of the Rockets."

Shen Fei said jokingly.

Of course, what he said was not unreasonable.

Shen Fei is a man in two lifetimes. I have never seen any coach who can sit on a hand of good cards like the current Mark Jackson, and the players of the third team can start in other teams!

Then, the Rockets started the third round, the fourth round...the competition.

And Yi Jianlian's performance was very stable, scoring more than 4 goals in each round.

In the end, he and Curry entered the final "decisive battle."

Curry took a deep breath and threw five throwing knives, all hitting the bullseye.

And Yi Jianlian also hit all the first 4 shots, but unfortunately the last ball went out of the box.

So far, the three-point contest in the Rockets has come to an end. Curry won the championship, followed by Yi Jianlian!

After the comparison, Shen Fei immediately discovered that Ah Lian's body language was much more confident.

As for the teammates, their attitudes when communicating with him also changed subtly.

Before, except for Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin, everyone felt more or less alienated when facing Yi Jianlian.

After all, the outside world has been rumoring that Ah Lian was traded by Shen Fei because of his Chinese nationality.

Although everyone was very supportive of Shen Fei and had no objection to his operations, they inevitably had some special emotions when getting along with Yi Jianlian.

Fortunately, after this "three-point contest", the Rockets will see the talent and value of the United Arab Emirates!

Those estrangements and estrangements disappeared.

However, some players still have doubts-can Yi Jianlian's new posture be used in actual combat?

With this question in mind, everyone entered the last part of today's training - group competition!
