I'm not really a role player

Chapter 102 The Breakfast Club (4K [-]nd update)
On the third day of the preseason training camp, the Bobcats finally had some training items other than physical training.

"From now on, each person has a basketball, from this half of the court, control the fastest speed to the other half of the court, and then shoot..."

"I don't care what method you use, in short, put the ball in the basket for me!"

Possession from the backcourt to the frontcourt, then put the ball in the basket.

It was such a simple training that made Li Ke guess the purpose of Sam Vincent.

Backcourt to frontcourt, put the ball in the basket... quick counter?
In Longhorn, Li Ke has fought a lot of counterattacks, so he is very sure that this is a quick counterattack!
"Counterattack, fast attack? Fast whirlwind?"

After thinking about the main lineup, Gerald Wallace was pushed to the fourth position, Nazr Mohammed went to the bench, and Okafor, who is 2 meters 08, wanted to play center forward, which really meant to play fast.

However, whether it is fast or slow, Li Ke can adapt to it. In this regard, he doesn't care.

It was a simple ball-handling and shooting training from the backcourt to the frontcourt. The Bobcats practiced for a whole day, and no one knew what Sam Vincent sold.

Then on the fourth day, the team added another half-court rotation defensive training, switching defenses after various pick-and-rolls, or replenishing defenses after pinching.

In the beginning, Okafor was the defender of the penalty area in the main lineup, and the boss of Gerard Hua was a sweeping machine for all kinds of leaks and fillings. The remaining three only needed to do a one-on-one defense.

After practicing, the first two did not change. Li Ke, who originally only had single-defense tasks, was forced by Sam Vincent to add some assistance and supplementary defense tasks because of his defensive performance.

No way, who made Adam Morrison and Felton's defensive scum to a certain point...

The former has a good body shape, but the confrontation is too poor. As long as the opponent puts up a little confrontation, he will be unable to defend at all.

The latter is okay, but he is short, and he will suffer a lot when playing a tall point guard.

This is the same as Deron, who eats and sleeps and beats Paul. Isn't Paul's defense strong?

Very strong, 7 first defenses in his career is no joke.

But he just can't beat Deron, there is no way, Deron is tall and strong, he just bullies you with his body.

Fei Dun also has the same problem. Although the registered height is 185, the actual height may be around 180. He is fast, and his body is fat and strong. The only difference is his height.

So, in the afternoon training, Li Ke started to wipe people's buttocks again, which he was too familiar with!
When he was in the Longhorns, he often wiped the ass of Augustin and Abrams on the perimeter.

Now in the NBA, it's still the same, it's so simple!

However, after these two days of training, Li Ke has seen some signs.

Sam Vincent's tactics are small and fast. The offensive end is a whirlwind, and the defensive end relies on small players to rotate. The only center Okafor guards the penalty area.

It is not known how the record will be, but the data should not be bad.

After all, if you play fast and the number of rounds is high, the data will naturally increase.

On the fifth day of the training camp, Li Ke finally met Tim Graver, and the meeting place was of course Jordan's private training hall.

"Nice to meet, Sheldon."

As soon as they met, the dusty Tim Graver stretched out his right hand, and then observed Li Ke with a scrutinizing gaze.

Li Ke did the same, stretched out his right hand, and was also observing the former trainer of God.

Tim Graver graduated from the University of Illinois in Kinesiology and has played in the NCAA, but he is only small and transparent, and his height is only 1 meters. Naturally, there is no possibility of further entering the NBA.

And solid theoretical knowledge was Tim Graver's weapon to conquer Jordan at that time.

Of course, Tim Graver also has to thank Jordan. After all, even at this moment, the Tim Graver in front of Li Ke is thin and small, and he doesn't look like a trainer at all.

It's like a short guy coming to sell you a heightening product, you won't believe it if you kill him.

At that time, Jordan chose to believe. It has to be said that Jordan is also bold and not afraid of being broken by training.

At this time, Li Ke no longer has such worries, because Tim Graver has already proved himself. He trained Jordan into a man of steel and muscle. Even after retiring for two years and then returning, his state has not fluctuated.

Even when Jordan came back for the second time, he was 38 years old, but he still maintained an excellent competitive state.

As the first personal trainer in NBA history, he can be regarded as the founder of this line of work. Even well-known trainers like Ganon Baker and David Alexander, when they see Tim Graver, they have to call him a patriarch.

As soon as we met, Graver went straight to the point: "Before I came, I have read your physical examination report..."

"In some respects, you still have room to grow, but what is more important and urgent is that there were some mistakes in your previous training. If you don't make up for it in time, you will be surrounded by injuries..."

What this means is, don't hesitate to step on the horse, play money!

Of course, Li Ke didn't hesitate. Ever since Jordan told him that he would invite Tim Graver for him, Li Ke had already prepared the bank check.

"That's your trouble, Tim."

If there is no money, let David Falk negotiate with Tim Graver.

Li Ke's side naturally started training immediately, so don't dawdle.

After all, the fee is very expensive, and every minute is precious.

Tim Graver nodded: "Then briefly tell me what I know about you, and the training plan specially formulated based on it."

"First of all, judging from your physical test data, your strength, speed, and jumping are all excellent, but your explosive power is insufficient. You often need to chase back when defending, and your lateral movement speed is also average, and you are easy to be shaken. Therefore, I will focus on these two items in your daily training."

The first point, well known to everyone, is not very impressive.

"Secondly, I heard that when you first entered the NCAA, your weight was only 80KG? Then you gained 20KG within a year?"

Li Ke nodded, and Tim Graver looked solemn:

"This is the error in your training. If you gain 20KG in one year, how much strength training do you do to adapt to this weight?"

"Uh... long-distance running, and some stretching and bench press training."

"Too little, not enough!"

"Gain weight in a short period of time, if you don't use high-intensity strength training to adapt to the new weight, injuries will appear soon..."

"What your strength can support is your original weight, and when your weight increases greatly in a short period of time, the original strength cannot support the new weight, and naturally, you will have problems..."

The theory is easy to understand and correct, but what Li Ke wants to say is that the reason why he gained weight is because of his greatly increased strength.

After gaining weight, his new weight has adapted to the suddenly massive strength of a cow, so there will be no injury problems.  …

emmm...although the process is completely reversed, the result is still the same.

However, Li Ke still listened to it, because Tim Graver's theory was correct, and, immediately after, the third point raised by Tim Graver:

"The third point is that your body hanging is very successful, and your weight is also very moderate, but the problem is that the hanging is uneven, your arms and calves are still very thin, and the muscles are concentrated in the back and thighs, and this obviously needs to be adjusted. Therefore, in the next stage, you need to increase a variety of strength training, not only training the upper body, but also not only training the lower body..."

"Strength training is not just about strength training. Your flexibility and body flexibility will also be improved through various strength training."

To be honest, Tim Graver has almost played strength training to the fullest. Hearing this theory, Li Ke was a little dumbfounded. The third point is undoubtedly the biggest impact on him.

A professional trainer really has his reasons. Even Todd Wright probably doesn't have such detailed theoretical knowledge.

"I will give you a list, and ask people to buy these training items, and I will give you the specific training plan the day after tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, get up at five o'clock every day, and start your strength training..."

"Start strength training in the morning?"

Li Ke was surprised, but Tim Graver gave Li Ke a strange look: "It seems that you haven't heard the story of the Breakfast Club."

"The Breakfast Club?"

Tim Graver shrugged: "Google, you will know. Of course, you can also choose to refuse this breakfast club training. I can make other training plans for you, but the effect cannot be guaranteed."

On the first day of the meeting, Tim Graver did not immediately start Li Ke's training.

This gave Li Ke time to go back to Google and get the answer.

Getting up in the morning and starting strength training is the so-called breakfast club, and the creator is Tim Graver.

The NBA does not advocate strength training during this time period, because if strength training is performed at this time, there will not be enough physical fitness to deal with the next team training.

But Jordan at the time agreed, and he didn't completely trust Tim Graver at the time. He just wanted to challenge his physical and psychological limits.

It is said that the intensity of the training is very high, Charles Barkley participated in a few times, and then chose to quit because he couldn't bear it.

Later, Jordan retired midway, came back in the 94-95 season, and lost to the Magic in the playoffs. He sat in the training hall until 3 o'clock in the morning and decided to restart the breakfast club.

Relying on the high-intensity training of the Breakfast Club, Jordan returned to the top and led the Bulls to win another three consecutive championships.

That concludes the story of The Breakfast Club.

Seeing this story, Li Ke suddenly panicked.

Charles Barkley can't stand the training, can he stick to it?
However, he didn't hesitate much, and made a phone call to Tim Graver:

"See you at the training hall tomorrow morning!"

Whether you can stick to it or not, you have to try it anyway.

……

On the sixth day of the training camp, Sam Vincent finally took out his full body tactics.

"At the offensive end, we need to focus on pick-and-rolls. We have two ball-holding spots on the outside. One is Raymond, and the other is Adam and Emeka. As the player with the best pick-and-roll quality in the starting lineup, you have to appear outside the free throw line frequently."

"And Sheldon, your cutting movement and three-pointers are also very important. The team needs you to open the space."

"We have to seize every opportunity to switch between offense and defense. Fast-break counterattacks are necessary, and it can help us score easily."

"The overall offense, we will be more outside, but Emeka, you don't have to worry, I will arrange one or two low singles tactics for you."

"And Gerrard, you too, you can also play singles..."

Li Ke has no role in singles tactics, there is no way, who made Li Ke incapable of holding the ball.

However, Li Ke also saw the customized tactics that Boss Qiao promised.

Probably some catch-and-shoot tactics, such as going out of the baseline, from the left and right sides of the top of the arc to the mid-range position, and after the pick-and-roll cooperation at the horn position, catch and shoot...

And, Xie Te returned to the arena in the pick-and-roll, but the targets of the pick-and-roll were replaced by Adam Morrison, Fei Dun and Boss Hua.

Li Ke is happy to see the success. If Shet's pick-and-roll can regain success in the Bobcats, the pick-and-roll can be renamed, and it can be called Sheldon's pick-and-roll.

In terms of defense, fast rotation and pseudo-zone defense are also necessary.

From the point of view of the main lineup, the Bobcats' defense will not be too bad, the only black hole is Adam Morrison.

The tactics are released, and then the tactics are practiced.

The practice was only tactical running, and the intensity was not high, but Li Ke was a little sluggish. The teammates thought it was very strange. This was not like the energetic Sheldon Lee in the past few days.

Old Du even speculated maliciously: "Sheldon, to be honest, have you found any treasure in Charlotte?"

"Treasure land? No, if there is, can Raymond not know?"

Raymond Felton is also on the side, but Li Ke's explanation is obviously not convincing.

"Stop hiding, share and share!"

"Not really!"

"Look at you, you're not telling the truth..."

"Depend on!"

Seeing that Lao Du was staring at him, and he couldn't explain it clearly, Li Ke admitted it very bachelorly:
"Yes, do you want to see and see?"

Lao Du's eyes lit up, and so did Fei Dun beside him, both of them nodded their heads heavily.

"Then get up early tomorrow morning and go to the high-end apartment area next to Hayden Park before five o'clock..."

"Tomorrow morning? Why tomorrow morning?"

"Because it's only open in the morning, well, it's called The Breakfast Club."

"The Breakfast Club? Hehehe..."

Old Du Jian patted Li Ke with a smile: "Don't worry, Sheldon, we've decided on this breakfast!"

Turning his head, he said to Felton again: "Then Raymond, cancel tonight's arrangement, I have to recharge my batteries."

Fei Dun also nodded: "This is what it should be!"

On the sidelines of the training field, Tim Graver was holding a laptop and compiling Li Ke's training plan.

Sam Vincent, who had entered Kuroko Tetsuya's state again, leaned over.

"Sheldon's mental state is not right, is it your fault?"

"Yes."

"I knew it, take it easy, don't train him down, you know, not everyone is Michael Jordan."

Having said that, Sam Vincent, who was thinking for a while, found that he seemed to have discovered an important point.

"Michael values ​​Sheldon very much, AJ's sneaker contract, David Falk, and now Tim Graver... Adam Morrison doesn't have these benefits."

"Oh, a new generation replaces the old..."
