Chapter 617: The strong come first

Zambia has good mountains and rivers, but it is not good for good people. Fortunately, the walkers come here and do not ask for any good people, otherwise they would have failed to choose the training site.

The owner of the Walker, the Simon brothers, owned a private villa area in Zambia, which is exactly where they visited.

This place is regarded as a resort for self-cultivation by the Simon brothers. The experience of watching the finals a few months ago made the brothers' confidence in the team multiplied, and they actively opened this area to the players for training here.

This area is called Doron Lodz, and is nearby the famous Liuwa Plain in Zambia.

Every NBA team going overseas has the mission of promoting the NBA.

Zambian media heard about the arrival of walkers and spontaneously came to the airport to greet them.

There are few opportunities to meet the purest black people in the United States, even his teammates, probably some of their ancestors are from Zambia, but now they and the people in this region live in different worlds.

They were asked whether the NBA would consider building a basketball academy in Zambia in the future, and Claire's answer was yes.

There are indeed plans to build NBA colleges around the world within the league, and in areas like Africa, they lack even the most basic facilities (courts). The people here are not short of talent, they lack a good training environment and experienced youth training teams, which happen to be what the NBA has.

The league has discussed the construction of NBA colleges around the world, but it has not been fully implemented.

If this happens, Africa will definitely be the region that benefits the most.

Basketball is a sport where talent is paramount, and many examples can illustrate how important talent is. A talented person can train for 10 years as a talented person.

The same situation is rarely seen in other sports, but is not uncommon in basketball.

Talented people are like God's darlings. Africa does not lack talent. What they lack is people who explore talents and develop talents.

Claire's answer inspired Zambia's reporters.

A celebrity like Xie Hou was naturally warmly welcomed and chased.

He had an iconic smile on his face, and he used evasion to all the reporter's questions. He didn't know or understood it, but it was his spear and shield against the problem.

They didn't expect that after leaving the United States, the media did not let them go.

No matter where it is, the characteristics of the media population are the same. As long as the media person is on duty, he will want to find opportunities to report headlines.

Places like Zambia are not usually visited by international stars. Famous sports teams like Pacers suddenly choose their country as the training site, so they will naturally invest the greatest media power to pay attention to this matter.

The Pacers used all their strength to barely deal with the airport reporters. The whole team took a bus that seemed to be in doubt and headed to their designated destination.

Located in the villa area of ​​Doron Lodge, the city they have traveled along the way is like two different fields.

The villa area in Dolorentz is a modern world, while the Zambian city outside the villa area is like a developing country that has not yet developed.

The whole team moved into the villa area, and Xie candidates for the apartment closest to the training ground.

On the first day of arriving in Zambia, some people chose to relax, some people chose to train, some people were unwilling to see others train themselves to relax, and they wanted to relax from the bottom of their hearts, so they pretended to train, and then ended the training in advance and participated in various things.

It seems that doing so will make you feel better.

Xie Hou didn't do these things, so he devoted himself to training as soon as he came.

Special training in Finland is a beginning, not an end.

Returning to the United States from Finland, he practiced for half a month according to the method given by the training team, and lost nearly 2 meat.

In this way, since he and Xuewei went to Finland for their honeymoon, in nearly two months, he lost 6 kilograms, and there are still 105 kilograms, and it still doesn't seem to have much change.

With his figure, it is difficult to see the changes unless it is a fluctuation of 10 kilograms of meat.

In order to lose weight to the number set by Alex Sanning, Xie Hou still needs to work hard.

102 kg, this is his goal.

It took him two months to lose 6 kilograms, and there were 6 kilograms of meat in front of him.

According to the current progress, he may be able to achieve his goal one month after the start of the new season.

Before that, we need to practice hard.

He did a set of training as written in the training plan, and he was so tired that he only had a few minutes of rest before starting the next set of training.

He was not a training madman in the past. With his talent, he could maintain his level without going through too much hard work.

At the earliest times, even he himself was ashamed of hard practice.

There are only a few people who need hard practice, people who have no talent, people who have poor fighting, and people who have not worked hard enough.

He worked hard enough to not require him to work too hard in daily training. He could easily complete the prescribed training plan and retain considerable spare time.

Since the 2004-2005 season, his training volume has increased greatly for the need for technical transformation.

In order to adapt to the new shooting movements, he had to increase the training volume. Later, he got used to the new posture, but did not abandon the habit of increasing the training volume.

The habits remained there, and he became the hardest-working person in the team.

It just so happened that in the 2005-2006 season, Claire accepted his appointment as the captain of the team, which gave him a reason to practice hard.

As the captain, it is natural that he practices more ruthless than everyone else and works hard.

If the captain cannot set an example, how can others practice hard? Xie Hou convinced himself that he has trained a lot every day for two years. With him as an example, others dare not fall behind.

"Brother Monkey, you started practicing so early?"

Xie Hou was practicing hard, and Sun Yue came in and asked.

Xie Hou held the idea that it was a person who could pull into the water and said: "Every coach likes hard-working people. If you want to find a position in the team as soon as possible, it is best to practice with me."

"Now?" Sun Yue had agreed with the others to go out and roam.

Xie Hou's invitation made him shaken.

"What's wrong now?" Xie Hou threw the ball in his hand. "When is the training time?"

Sun Yue looked at the basketball all over the ground, and Xie Hou didn't know how long it had been practicing. Like Xie Hou, Sun Yue was not a person who loved hard practice. His talent was beyond Xie Hou. In addition to Xie Hou, the second guard selected by the NBA in Chinese and even Asian history.

In terms of this honor, he is the second person in history among Asian defenders.

If Xie Hou, a person from Russian youth training, is removed, Sun Yue will be the first person.

He has excellent talent and can become a top Asian player without any effort. He is also prone to complacency. This is actually a very dangerous mentality.

An easy-to-satisfied mentality is not conducive to players' ultimate upper limit.

Xie Hou's kind invitation was very helpful, but Sun Yue couldn't refuse, so he stomped his feet and sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman.

"It's no big deal to practice!" Sun Yue said a rather imposing sentence.

Xie Hou was like Miller back then, shooting with Sun Yue.

What they compare is naturally long shots, NBA distance three-point shooting.

Sun Yue has only been a NBA player for a few months, and he has not been used to the NBA's three-point range. It's not his fault, the three-point line in international games is too short, so short that it makes people feel distressed.

How to say it? Compared with the NBA's three-point line, just like the volume comparison between the Japanese Ivy and the European and American Ivy actors,

It's so intuitive that it makes people feel that Asians are a little...small?

Sun Yue couldn't find the feel of the hand, and was thrown into tears by Xie Hou.

They were limited to 100 goals. When Xie Hou scored 100 goals, Sun Yue was still hovering around 30 goals.

"Brother Monkey, you are too brave, I really can't do it!" Sun Yue sat on the ground and expressed his strength.

He hoped that Xie Hou would let him go, and sitting on the ground would be a disguised expression of weakness.

After finally having someone tortured, how could Xie Hou let him go easily? He ignored Sun Yue's body language and said lightly: "Don't think that if we leave the Spanish, we can occupy a place in the rotation. You are still far from it."

Sun Yue put his hands down and his palms pressed against the ground, "What should I do?"

"What should I do?" Xie Hou used Wang Zhizhi's example to give him guidance. "Before Lao Wang came to our team, his three-point shooting percentage was only 28%. It took him only a year to become the person with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the team."

Sun Yue jumped up from the ground: "What do you mean, practice three points?"

Xie Hou smiled and said, "Since Miller retired, our team has not lacked big men, tough guys, defense, but can shoot. You are taller than me, but you can play in three positions. Your height is better than players in the NBA. If you can make a more stable three-pointer, the coach will never ignore you." Xie Hou's words were heart-to-heart.

Sun Yue is going to enter the rotation, and practicing three-pointers is the fastest shortcut.

The only one who can be called a shooter in the whole team is Danny Granger, and his competitor is Artest, and he will definitely not expect in the short term.

Sun Yue can play three positions, so he has more opportunities to enter the rotation.

His problem is too obvious now.

Playing as the No. 1 position, his control skills, body thickness and ability to compete can't resist the NBA defender's frontcourt press;

Playing the second position, his three-pointer was not up to the requirements and was far from reaching;

When playing the third position, Xie Hou didn't dare to think of him playing the third position. Apart from his height, no one meets the standard.

He has good defense and excellent athletic ability, but he has no speed to defend the number one position, no skills to defend the number two position, and no strength to defend the number three position - in short, it is still too tender.

Xie Hou is sure that Sun Yue doesn’t have many opportunities in his first season. If he doesn’t work hard on the training ground, he may be delegated to the Development League for training.

If the progress is not obvious, it is very likely to be marginalized by the team.

This is not a question of whether Xie Hou appreciates him or not. This is an alliance with the strong first.
