On the third day of the pre-season training camp, Bobcats finally had some training programs other than physical training.

"From now on, each person has a basketball, from this half, the fastest speed to the other half, and then take action..."

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

Take the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and then send the ball into the basket.

It was such a simple training that made Li Ke guess Sam Vincent's purpose.

Go to the frontcourt and put the ball into the basket... and strike back quickly?

In the Longhorned Bull, Li Ke fought a lot of counterattacks, so he was sure that this was a quick counterattack!

"Counterattack, fast attack? Quick whirlwind?"

After thinking about the main lineup, Gerald Wallace was pushed to the fourth position, Nazel Mohamed went to the substitute, and Okafor, who was 2.08 meters tall, wanted to play center, which was really a bit of a fast move.

However, Li Ke can adapt to whether it is fast or slow, and it doesn't matter to him.

It was just 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 the hell was about Sam Vincent.

Then on the fourth day, the team added another half-court rotation defense training, with various switches after pick-and-roll, or repair defense after pinch.

At the beginning, Okafor was the guardian of the penalty area in the main lineup, and Boss Geraldward was a sweeper who checked all kinds of omissions and made up for the shortcomings. The remaining three people only needed to do one-on-one single defense.

As he practiced, there was no change in the first two. Li Ke, who originally had only single defense tasks, was forced to add some assisted and supplementary tasks by Sam Vincent because of his performance of almost sweeping everything on the defensive end.

There is no way, who has made Adam Morrison and Feidun’s defensive scum to a certain extent...

The former has a body shape, but the confrontation is too poor. As long as the opponent has a little bit of confrontation, he will not be able to defend himself at all.

The latter is not bad, but he is short and will suffer a lot when he plays tall point guards.

This is the same as Deron who eats and sleeps to fight Paul. Isn’t Paul’s defense strong?

Very strong, it is no joke to defend yourself 7 times in your career.

But he just couldn't beat Delong, there was no way. Delong was tall and strong, and he just bullied you by his body.

Feidun also has the same problem. Although he is registered at 185, his actual height may be about 180. He is fast and his body is fat and strong. The worst thing is his height.

So, during the afternoon training, Li Ke started to wipe people's butts again, and he was so familiar with this job!

When he was in the Longhorn, he often wiped the butts of Augustine and Abrams on the outside.

Now that I'm entering NBA, it's still the case, it's just so!

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

Sam Vincent's tactic is to be quick-wielding, with a quick-witted whirlwind on the offensive end, and a small man rotates on the defensive end. The only center forward, Okafor, guards the penalty area.

The results are unknown, and the data should not be bad.

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

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.

"I'm glad to meet, Sheldon."

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

Li Ke also stretched out his right hand and was also observing this former God trainer.

Tim Graver graduated from Kinesiology at the University of Illinois and has played NCAA, but he is only transparent and is only 1.75 meters tall. Naturally, there is no possibility of further entering NBA.

And excellent theoretical knowledge was the weapon for Tim Graver to conquer Jordan at that time.

Of course, Tim Graver has to thank Jordan. After all, even at this moment, Tim Graver in front of Li Ke is all thin and small, and he doesn't look like a trainer no matter how he looks.

It's like a short guy selling height-enhancing products like you, you won't believe it even if you kill him.

Jordan chose to believe it at that time. I have to say that Jordan was also very bold and was not afraid of being trained to break the problem.

At this time, Li Ke no longer had such concerns, because Tim Graver had already proved himself that he trained Jordan to become an iron muscle man, and even if he returned after retirement for two years, his condition would not have had any ups and downs.

Even Jordan was 38 years old when he made his second comeback, but he still maintained an excellent competitive state.

As the first private trainer in NBA history, he is also the founder of this industry. A trainer like Cannonbeck and David Alexander, who has to call him Master when he sees Tim Graver.

As soon as we met, Graver went straight: "Before we came, I had already read your physical test report..."

"In some aspects, you still have room for growth, but more importantly, there were some mistakes in your training before. If you don't make up for it in time, you will be surrounded by injuries..."

What this means is, don’t hesitate, make money!

Of course, Li Ke did not hesitate. Since Jordan told him that day that he would invite Tim Graver to him, Li Ke had already prepared a bank check.

"Then I'll bother you, Tim."

If the money is not rich, David Falke will negotiate with Tim Graver.

Li Ke naturally started training immediately, so don’t be too slow.

After all, the charges are very expensive, and every minute is very expensive.

Tim Graver nodded: "Then let me briefly talk about my knowledge of you and the training plan specially formulated based on this."

"First of all, judging from your physical test data, your strength, speed and bounce are excellent, but your explosive power is insufficient. You often need to chase back when defending, and the speed of horizontal movement is also very average and easy to shake. So, I will focus on these two items in your daily training."

The first point is known to everyone, but it is not very outstanding.

"Secondly, I heard that when you first entered NCAA, you weighed only 80kg? Then you gained 20kg in a year?"

Li Ke nodded, and Tim Graver's expression was solemn:

"This is the mistake in your training. If you gain 20kg in a year, how much strength training did you do to adapt to this weight?"

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

“Too few, far from enough!”

"If you don't use high-intensity strength training to adapt to your new weight, injuries will soon appear..."

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

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

After gaining weight, his new weight adapted to the sudden huge force, so there would be no injury problems...

emmm... Although the process was completely reversed, the results were still the same.

However, Li Ke still listened because Tim Graver's theory was correct, and, immediately afterwards, Tim Graver proposed the third point:

"The third point is that your meat hanging is very successful and your weight is moderate, but the problem is that your arms and calves are still very thin, and your muscles are concentrated on the back and thighs, which obviously requires adjustment. Therefore, in the next stage, you need to add a variety of strength training, not only practicing the upper limbs, nor only practicing the lower limbs..."

"Strength training is not just about practicing strength. Your flexibility and body flexibility will also increase in a variety of strength training."

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

The professional trainer really makes sense, and even Toddley probably does not have such detailed theoretical knowledge.

"I will give you a list and ask someone to buy these training props. I will hand you the specific training plan the day after tomorrow, start from 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 looked at Li Ke strangely: "It seems you have never heard of the story of the breakfast club."

“Breakfast Club?”

Tim Graver shrugged: "Google it, you know, of course, you can choose to reject this breakfast club training. I can make other training plans for you, but the results cannot be guaranteed."

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

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

When you wake up in the morning, you start strength training, which is the so-called breakfast club, and the founder is Tim Graver.

The NBA does not recommend practicing strength during this period, because if strength training is performed at this time, there will be insufficient physical fitness to cope with the subsequent team training.

But Jordan agreed at that time, and he did not completely trust Tim Graver at that time, he just wanted to challenge his physical and psychological limits.

It is said that the training is very intense. Charles Barkley participated several times and then chose to quit because he really couldn't stand it.

Later, Jordan retired in the middle and returned in the 1994-95 season. He lost to the Magic in the playoffs. He sat in the training hall until 3 a.m. 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-game championship.

The above is the story of the breakfast club.

Seeing this story, Li Ke suddenly felt a little panicked.

Charles Barkley can't stand the training, can he keep it?

However, he didn't hesitate much and called Tim Graver:

"See you in the training hall tomorrow morning!"

Whether you can persist or not, you have to try it.

...

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

"On the offensive end, we have to focus on pick-and-roll, and set up two ball-holding points on the outside, one is Raymond, the other is Adam and Emecca. As the player with the best pick-and-roll quality in the starting lineup, you have to appear outside the free throw line frequently."
