Chapter 272 Summer Training Plan

In late July, on a reality show, the Sonics players who had won the championship were invited to participate.

The Sonics are the new champions. There should have been a lot of interviews like this, but now they are suspended, and many NBA activities have been suspended accordingly.

There are also a lot less interviews. This program is said to be a relatively well-known talk show.

Although the entire Supersonics team was invited, there were not many people who came to the scene in the end. Apart from Qin Fei, Payton and Kemp, there were also veteran Perkins and young Eric Snow. The others either went to other places or were already on vacation and did not participate in the show.

In fact, the program itself is already very satisfied. The supersonic "Big Three" are all here, which is already a great deal of face.

It was the first time Qin Fei saw his teammates again after more than half a month, and greeted each other with high fives and hugs.

Talking to each other is naturally inseparable from the topic of suspension.

"According to Patrick, we can't make concessions, because once we make concessions, they will take an inch and we will be even more disadvantaged."

Payton is considered to know some inside information, but such a voice made Perkins and other veterans feel uncomfortable.

"This is pure nonsense. Ewing has no way to represent all of us. The longer the delay, the damage will ultimately be the interests of the players themselves. It will be of no benefit to anyone. Only by sitting down to discuss and come up with a feasible solution can the problem be solved."

The veteran's thinking is very clear, and the lockout can't solve any problems, and the final result is to hurt the interests of many parties.

"Whatever, this matter will not be resolved for a while, so it's better to enjoy this vacation." Kemp said with a smile.

Qin Fei listened to Ke Pu's words, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then took a closer look at Uncle Kan. It seemed that he was a little fatter than half a month ago?

shit

Qin Fei complained secretly, he wondered if Uncle Kan completely indulged himself in this offseason?

Now that I have earned money and won the championship, I have no motivation. I am afraid that the speed of fattening will become faster and faster

Several people chatted for a while, and then the staff notified them that they could appear on stage.

A reality show interview is actually an interview without a rehearsal. The audience on the scene is real, and some of them are fans who specially passed on the Supersonics jersey.

Several people have their own characteristics in dressing styles.

Qin Fei is the lightest. He wears a short-sleeved T-shirt on his upper body, shorts and casual sneakers on his lower body. If he changes the sneakers into slippers, it will look more like he is on vacation.

Amidst the cheers that were not lively, several people came to the front. The host sat on a separate sofa, and several big men sat side by side on a row of sofas.

"Wow, look, our champion is here!"

It was still the humor of the host, and he asked familiarly: "One, two, three, so there are just five of you, are you going to play a friendly match with us?"

"Brother, if you have the venue, it's not impossible to have a friendship now."

Payton laughed, and as the leader of the team, he took the lead in speaking.

Kemp was fiddling with his big gold chain over there, and when he sat beside Qin Fei, he looked even more burly.

"If I win, will you also give me a championship trophy?" The host laughed and teased casually.

Veteran Perkins said: "This is not so easy to get, why do you have to play four rounds?"

"Okay, I surrender."

The host spread his hands

"You guys are very popular these days. I heard that someone invited some of you to participate in an outdoor fashion design program. You are really versatile!"

Crowd: ? ? ?

There is a question mark at the end, and I don't know where the host got the news from.

"Okay, to be honest, let's have a brief chat."

"So, among you, who is the one who has received more attention? Or, the player who has received the most attention? Whether it is in the eyes of radio, newspapers, TV and other media, the one who has received the most attention."

When the host asked, everyone turned their attention to Qin Fei.

The answer was ready to come out, but Qin Fei himself refused to admit it: "There is nothing, I am a low-key person."

"Hahaha"

The audience smiled knowingly.

"Is a low-key person the label you give yourself? Or, do you want to be a low-key player?" The host grabbed Qin Fei's words and continued.

Qin Fei had already developed an extremely fast reaction speed, and said, "You can put it this way, I just want to put more energy on the court."

The host's words were also sharp, and he immediately asked: "So you think that the excessive attention from the outside world will actually distract you and prevent you from concentrating on the field."

amount

Qin Fei didn't expect the host's thoughts to be so active. After a little thought, he replied: "It's not all because of this reason. The most important thing is to want everyone to pay attention. Don't keep paying attention to me alone. We are a team, wow!"

Qin Fei laughed heartily, reflecting a small part of the team spirit.

"Do you live alone now? In Seattle?"

"Yes, I live alone. Seattle is a good city. I am very comfortable living there. All the grandparents on the way to the arena know me."

What Qin Fei said was the truth. It wasn't the special period of the playoffs or the finals. Fans were relatively rational in chasing stars.

The host nodded, and then began to shift the topic to other people.

For example, Payton, the host asked Payton: "When Gary meets people on the street, what kind of actions do fans usually make? Is there anything that makes you feel more distressed?"

This is actually digging a hole for the players. Payton has rich experience, so how could he fall into the hole so easily, and responded with a smile: "There must be no distress. Our fans are very good. There may be some that will impress me, or there may be some unexpected moves."

"How about an example?"

"For example, when I was walking on the road, someone would come over and say a lot of things to me, such as I was your fan when I was very young, I grew up watching your game, I like your playing style very much, I like your game and so on."

Peyton spread his hands: "These words made my blood boil, and my brother kept shouting."

"I didn't know that he said something when we were parting, but I don't know why, "Sean", I always feel that you seem to be shorter than what you see on TV. Are you really six feet ten inches? Hahahaha"

Everyone laughed wildly, and when the camera showed Camp, he also smiled helplessly.

After participating in the reality show, I got a little announcement fee.

Several people had a happy night in a nightclub in Los Angeles. Qin Fei couldn't drink, so he could only watch a few big shots brag.

Afterwards, he responsibly refused the gracious pick-up service offered by the lady in the nightclub, and thoughtfully helped the elder brothers to the hotel.

It is very good to be a human being.

The next day, Qin Fei enthusiastically called his elder brothers, but none of them paid any attention to him.

"Why don't athletes sleep late, get up early and exercise!"

Qin Fei didn't care, and after hanging up the phone, he started his morning exercise.

After the finals, Qin Fei's ability score just reached 84. This summer, his plan is to increase his ability score to above 85.

In fact, 80 points or more is an A-level player, and 85 points or more is an S-level player.

Above 80 is called a first-class starter, a quasi-All-Star player.

More than 85, that is the All-Star in the league.

Qin Fei observed his own data and found that the most prominent point of improvement was the mid-range shooting.

In the Supersonic season, since the mid-term, he has strengthened his mid-range shooting, and cooperated with [Gap Hunter] to find a suitable shot space, which has become an efficient scoring method for him.

But it's still not enough. A true super scorer must have comprehensive offensive methods.

It's like knowing that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's "sky hook" is powerful, but in fact, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is proficient in all other inside offensive skills, such as mid-range shots, breakthroughs, and dunks at the basket.

Qin Fei's attributes have improved, but his offensive methods are not particularly rich. Improving his offensive methods is one of his training tasks during the offseason.

There are also options for new badges.

The further you go to the back of the badge, the more difficult it is to obtain and upgrade. Last season, I worked hard for a season, and my ability score went from 78 before the start of the season to 84 at the end of the season. From October to June, the 10-month increase of 6 points is not bad, but the speed has slowed down significantly.

In terms of badges, the badge against the Terminator has been promoted from the golden badge to the Hall of Fame level, touching the ceiling in the badge.

In addition, [Long-range Fort] has been added to the shooting badge, and [Emergency Stop Master] has been added to the organizational badge.

The former is for Qin Fei’s shooting range, while increasing Qin Fei’s long-distance shooting ability. Currently, it is only a bronze badge, and the effect is not very obvious; the latter is for use with [Gap Hunter], which can stop and start quickly, and retreat to find space. With this badge, his ability in this area is further magnified.

Qin Fei divided his summer training plan into three parts.

One is to obtain new attributes as much as possible. After the whole season, he has accumulated a lot of potential points. After all these potential points are used up, he can completely increase to above 85 or even higher.

The second aspect is to learn new offensive skills. Now that he has internal strength, he lacks external skills. The basics are there, and he can learn any offensive skills quickly. It’s just that Qin Fei usually prefers to play in a safe way.

The third aspect is body management, which is also regarded as the most important training by Qin Fei.

Uncle Kan has already shown a not-so-good start. The lockout period is a disaster for players who are not self-disciplined. He must put an end to some things, control his body, and ensure that after the lockout is over, he can have plenty of physical fitness to fight for next season.

Many people think that the longer the time of stop and rest, the more abundant the physical reserve.

But in fact, this is not the case. The more the season after the suspension, the more intensive the schedule. Back-to-back is not a big deal. Back-to-back is possible. Playing 48 games in 3 hours consumes more energy.

For some newcomers to the alliance, it is definitely good news.

This is Qin Fei's control over the three directions of his training.

Once you have a goal, you will be motivated.

At the end of July, Qin Fei's training camp officially started.

Kobe, Iverson, Marbury, McGrady, and Carter participated in his training camp together, bringing together most of the league heroes in recent years.

In fact, everyone is looking for a place to play wild ball and enhance their relationship.

These people did not come on the same day, some left after a day of beating, and some beat all the time.

Just like Kobe and Qin Fei, the two training madmen were evenly matched, training from the end of July to the end of the whole month of August.

At this time, the NBA has been suspended for a full two months. All summer leagues have been cancelled, and a game has not been played.

There is relatively little news about labor negotiations, but Qin Fei knows something about it as an insider.

Various channels show that the attitudes of both employers and employees are relatively tough. Although the two sides have made some progress in the negotiation of a new labor agreement, they have not regressed in terms of core interests.

This is indeed difficult. After all, it is not a matter of one or two people, but a confrontation between two groups.

Although Ewing's first player representative has been sprayed a lot before, but at the moment, it seems that there is no sign of loosening at all, so the day when the lockout ends seems to be in the foreseeable future.

In September, some teams generally start to assemble. Those who should take makeup photos will take makeup photos, and those who should train intensively will train intensively.

Therefore, some rookie players who have no income and savings are a bit difficult.

Some rookies who skipped the college stage and directly participated in the draft somewhat regretted it. If they had known earlier, they might as well have continued to play in college for a year.

They have no choice but to pray that the lockout will end quickly so that they can play and receive their first salary in their lives.

Of course, there are also some people who pay special attention to Jordan. Whether Jordan will play next season or not, now that the lockout is so violent.

From the perspective of the Bulls, Zen master Phil Jackson has announced his departure from the team, Pippen has also begun to pursue his last big pension contract, the Iron Triangle has been disbanded, and Jordan's retirement seems to be an indisputable fact.

But Jordan himself has never officially announced whether to retire, so fans still have hope.

Jordan himself is also very entangled. If he can win the championship in June and complete the second three consecutive championships, he will undoubtedly choose to retire now, but if he does not win the championship, he always feels that something is missing. It seems that he should have another championship.

In fact, Jordan is also waiting to see what the labor agreement agrees to.

He probably knows that the league will refine the salary cap again.

To put it simply, the labor-management agreement this time is actually talking about two things, one is revenue sharing, and the other is salary cap reform, but these two contents are too difficult.

For example, the salary cap, the salary cap has been established as early as the 1984-85 season.

For a "closed" league without relegation, the salary cap can better balance the gap between the big and small teams, so as to achieve an ecological balance, and strive to allow teams without money to have their own living space.

But it is no longer possible. Although the regulations are so stipulated, the salary cap increase rate in the past two years is far lower than the increase rate of huge contracts. The endless billion-dollar contracts have made the bosses deeply feel the crisis.The owners of small teams feel even less hopeful, because they simply cannot afford such high salaries, and in the end they can only watch the players they cultivated be poached by other teams.

Therefore, regulations and verbal warnings are not enough, and more stringent and practical measures must be taken to limit the spending of rich bosses.

In order to achieve the goal of reducing player wages.

That is, if buyers in the buyer's market sell less, players' salaries will naturally drop. This is the simplest reason.

Refinement of the salary cap is actually a more reasonable way. Jordan is so smart. If you think about it, you will know that once such a new agreement comes out, it is actually impossible to get another 3000 million salary.

Jordan believes that the current focus should be on labor negotiations. As for whether he will retire or not, there is no need to worry at all.

In layman's terms, it is: "You are busy with your work, let me take a look first."
