The difference is that in the game you may just do a little bit of things, but in reality you need to put in a lot of sweat.
Of course, Handy also focused on the training ratio based on Lin Ying's personal needs.
The improvement of ball control and core strength will be the focus in the next two months.
Lin Ying was also quite excited about practicing.
He used to love basketball, and he had actually watched some videos of Phil Handy.
But when it comes to professional training, it's completely different.
Even what Springman taught during the NCAA period is completely different.
To give a simple example, "ladder dribbling training", Lin Ying had never heard of this training method before.
No wonder Yao Ming suggested that he find a professional trainer as soon as possible. This is equivalent to starting a new basketball road!
Two days later, Procopio also came.
Compared with Handy, Procopio looks more distinctive.
With a height of 1.7 meters and a body of 180 pounds, he can be regarded as a mini version of Pittman.
Moreover, he has a bald head and comes with a turn signal, which is hilarious.
Each trainer's characteristics and style of doing things are different.
Procopio is good at footwork application and body balance, which he feels can help Durant after observing Durant's training.
Of course, it is also necessary to break through with the ball.
In short, they both found good trainers.
So in the end I have to say something with emotion:
It’s great to have money!
…
Houston, Chinatown.
Because of Yao Ming, Houston's Chinatown has developed rapidly and has the potential to catch up with New York's Chinatown.
The flow of people here is very large, and the streets are bustling and lively.
A 7-foot tall man walked to the street and looked left and right from time to time.
Finally, he set his sights on a traditional Chinese medicine clinic at the corner of the street.
After hesitating at the door for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and bent down and walked in.
The store was busy, and I saw someone coming in. A man who looked like an apprentice came over.
The apprentice was also a little surprised when he saw such a tall man.
After some exchanges and knowing the other party's intentions, he smiled and said:
"You are very lucky today. We have an experienced expert sitting in for a consultation today."
As he spoke, he led the big man inside.
The big man was a little scared when he smelled the strange smell in the air, and some scenes from horror movies unconsciously appeared in his mind.
But when he thought about his situation, he finally gritted his teeth and moved on.
He was led to a door and sat down.
To his relief, there were people sitting and waiting outside, and one of them was also American.
This immediately made him relax a lot.
The waiting time was a bit long, and he even had a leisurely chat with the American about the situation in Iraq.
After waiting for almost an hour, he was called up by his apprentice and entered the room.
The strange smell in the room became stronger and even made him feel a little pungent.
He rubbed his nose and then looked at the person sitting at the table.
That was an old man who looked to be almost 60 years old.
The resistance in his heart became even greater. Can such an old person still be a doctor?
The old Chinese medicine doctor motioned for him to sit down.
"You play basketball?"
The old Chinese doctor took one look at his height and said, speaking fluent English.
Auden nodded.
This is not surprising, his height is so conspicuous in the crowd, and it is normal for him to be considered a basketball player.
Just like the old lady in history asked.
"Where's the discomfort? Knee or ankle?"
But what the old Chinese doctor asked next made him start to feel a little more trustworthy.
Oden indicated it was his knee.
"Come, lie down and let me check you out."
The old Chinese medicine doctor was very straightforward. He stood up with a smile and motioned to lie down on the bed.
Auden was a little confused, but he did as he was told.
After he lay down, the old Chinese medicine doctor asked him which knee it was. After knowing that it was the right knee, he directed him to do a few movements.
Some of the movements were very painful for him to do.
The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded and pressed again.
He groaned at the pain and almost screamed.
After the examination was completed, the old Chinese doctor's originally smiling expression turned serious.
That made Oden feel inexplicably panicked.
"You've been having knee problems for a long time and you need surgery."
After sitting down again, the old Chinese medicine doctor said solemnly.
"Is it that serious?"
Auden's heart skipped a beat. If he had the surgery at this time, he would be doomed!
"Yes, the wear and tear on your knee is not serious at all. Do you feel sore from time to time recently?"
The old Chinese doctor knocked on the table and asked.
Auden nodded.
"That's right. If you don't do surgery, it will swell up to two months at most. You will still have to do it then."
The old Chinese medicine doctor pushed up his glasses again.
Oden was a little panicked when he heard this. The draft will happen in two months!
"Is there any way to relieve it?"
Auden swallowed nervously.
He is now the favorite to be the No. 1 pick, and the media is looking at him like a magnifying glass.
If he goes to the hospital, it is likely that he will be exposed immediately.
His draft stock will definitely plummet by then.
So after he felt discomfort in his knee, he either pretended it didn't happen, or thought of a solution in private.
It was at this time that he remembered what Lin Ying had said to him.
Although he was still surprised as to why Lin Ying said that, he instinctively thought of it and came here with the intention of giving it a try.
Unexpectedly, the old Chinese medicine doctor immediately found out his problem without taking any X-rays, which shocked him.
"There are methods, but they treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. You won't be able to get better without surgery."
The old Chinese medicine doctor is still very professional and has no intention of fooling Oden.
After all, it can be opened in Chinatown and the signboard is hung here. If it is not professional, it will not be able to survive long ago.
"As long as it eases a little bit."
Auden continued.
The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at Auden. Although he was a little confused, everyone had privacy and it was impossible for him to pursue the question.
"Okay, you go inside and lie down."
The old Chinese doctor said and pointed to the small room next door.
Auden looked puzzled.
"I'll give you... acupuncture."
The old Chinese medicine doctor explained.
Ignoring Auden's confused look, the old Chinese medicine doctor got up and walked out.
He didn't say what he wanted to do because he knew that Oden wouldn't understand even if he told him.
"Xiao Wu, go and prepare some needles, something thinner."
The old Chinese medicine doctor walked to the door and called the apprentice over.
After hearing this, Xiao Wu skillfully turned around and started operating.
Auden finally entered the small room, and Xiao Wu quickly brought the needle over.
Seeing that it was an apprentice operating it for him, Oden looked confused.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu's acupuncture techniques are passed down from our ancestors. It's painless and fast."
The old Chinese medicine doctor noticed Oden's worry and explained.
Auden was dubious.
After about three minutes, Xiao Wu finished inserting the needle.
It's just like what the old Chinese medicine doctor said, it's painless and quick.
The old Chinese doctor didn't say anything.
Three minutes is actually considered too slow. With Xiao Wu's speed, the maximum speed is 30 seconds, which is still worrying for Oden.
It would take some time for acupuncture to take effect, so the old Chinese medicine practitioner returned to the office outside first.
"It stands to reason that even basketball players shouldn't be so worn out. Are their training methods unscientific?"
It was at this time that the old Chinese doctor who sat down again muttered.
After thinking for a while, after Xiao Wu finished pulling out the needle, he motioned for Oden to lie down, unzipped his pants and took a look.
It suddenly dawned on him.
"how do you feel?"
After sitting outside again, the old Chinese medicine doctor looked at Oden and asked.
"marvelous!"
Auden nodded excitedly.
Although he didn't understand why so many needles had to be inserted into him just now, and they were still so thin.
But the effect is really good. He just tried to move a few times and it no longer hurts at all!
"Have you ever had hip surgery before?"
But the old Chinese doctor asked him another question at this time.
"Yes, I was in a car accident when I was a kid."
After a wave of acupuncture, Oden already had a great sense of trust in the old Chinese medicine practitioner, and he did not hide it now.
"That's right. You had surgery on your buttocks, resulting in left-right asymmetry.
This is reflected in the inconspicuous length of the legs, and if you train and compete for a long time, the wear and tear on your knees will be far greater than that of ordinary people."
The old Chinese medicine practitioner continued his analysis.
"Do I have short legs?"
Auden couldn't believe it. This was the first time he heard this statement.
"Don't you believe it? Chinese medicine is also scientific."
As he spoke, the old Chinese medicine doctor took out a measuring tape from the drawer, called Xiao Wu in again, and measured him again while standing.
You don’t know if you don’t measure it, but you will be shocked if you measure it.
His right leg is 2cm shorter than his left leg!
"I...what should I do?"
Auden now fully trusted the old Chinese medicine practitioner and even regarded him as a life-saving straw.
"There's nothing you can do about it. Surgery is still necessary. Then you can find someone to make a soft pad for your right foot, which can reduce some wear and tear."
The old Chinese medicine practitioner gave the final method.
At least 70 to 80 percent of the diseases in this world cannot be cured, such as rhinitis, tinnitus, migraine...
It's just that people don't pay attention to those minor illnesses because they are not fatal.
Therefore, the principle of traditional Chinese medicine is that it is better to treat the root cause of serious diseases and the symptoms of minor diseases to strengthen the body than to take medicine.
This is also the best solution that an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner can give.
After all, he couldn't cut off Oden's leg and attach 2 centimeters of bone, right?
After seeing the doctor, paying the money, and coming out of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, Oden couldn't help but ask Xiao Wu the name of the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
"Tang Tian."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang is a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor, very powerful."
After hearing what Xiao Wu said, Auden nodded in agreement and gave a thumbs up.
The news keeps talking about how backward China is and how underdeveloped the medical system is. It seems that these are all one-sided reports!
At least Chinese medicine is profound and profound!
If there is a chance in the future, he must go to China to see what this eastern country is really like!
And Lin Ying, if we meet again in the future, he will definitely thank him.
By the way, I have to introduce this old Chinese medicine doctor named Tang Tian to him!
…
Training time always goes by the fastest.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. This year's NBA playoffs are over, and the curtain of the playoffs has begun.
This year, the win gap between the East and the West is huge. The Mavericks, first in the Western Conference, have 67 wins, which is a full 14 games more than the Pistons, first in the Eastern Conference.
Therefore, the Mavericks are also the most vocal in calling for the championship this year.
Besides the Mavericks, the second favorite is the Suns.
They are also the only two teams in the league to achieve 60 wins this season.
Although training time was tight, Lin Ying and Durant still found time to watch a Rockets game.
Not just to watch the game, but to truly feel the atmosphere of the NBA playoffs.
The Rockets' opponent is the Jazz. Although they are not as ranked as their opponents due to division rules, they have a home court advantage because of their better record.
The first two games of the series were played at Toyota Center.
They asked for two tickets from Yao Ming, and the seats were pretty high.
Then, they were discovered by reporters.
"Who are you here to watch play?"
This kind of question that Kobe, James and others were asked at the scene was also thrown to them.
"Yao."
"T-mac."
The two also gave reporters the answers they wanted.
Needless to say, after a few years, this image data will become precious.
After the warm-up on the field, the game started soon.
As soon as the game started, they felt the intensity of the NBA playoffs in this era. It was really tough every time, and the physical exertion looked exaggerated.
Lin Ying can also deeply understand the reason why Yao Ming asked him to fight.
With this kind of intensity of confrontation, let alone performance, whether it can last for half a game is a question.
Then, Lin Ying also paid attention to Okur, who was called "Yao Ming's torturer" by fans.
It seems a little different from what I remember...
Okur's defense against Yao Ming was exhausted, and he had basically no achievements on the offensive end.
After watching Okur, Lin Ying felt that it was unrealistic to play the fifth position in the NBA like in the NCAA. The destructive power of an inside line like Yao Ming was too terrifying.
At the end of the game, the Rockets defeated the Jazz 84-75 and won their first victory in the playoffs.
Yao Ming had 28 points and 13 rebounds, and Okur on the opposite side had 6 points and 9 rebounds. He made 2 of 14 goals and scored 2 three-pointers...
However, the problem of the Rockets is actually very obvious. Apart from Yao Mai, there are no role players who can score with the ball.
On the other hand, Kirilenko and Halprin on the Jazz are both capable of explosive points.
If Scola had come earlier, the Rockets should have been able to beat the Jazz.
After watching the game, Lin Ying gained a lot.
If he is defined as a space inside line, confrontation and defense are the basis. Only by doing these things well can we talk about offensive performance.
This ball was not in vain.
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s been over a month again.
The time has come to May 20.
The NBA playoffs have reached the conference finals.
All the things that happened in history also happened one by one.
The Mavericks, the most vocal team to win the championship, suffered a defeat from the Warriors. Nowitzki was quite embarrassed when he received the MVP trophy;
The Rockets suffered a reversal from a 2-0 lead. Okur led the series and scored a key three-pointer in the tiebreaker to help the Jazz win the series;
The conference semifinals between the Suns and the Spurs were bloody. Finley knocked out Nash and knocked away the Suns' best chance to win. Suns fans were unhappy;
It was at this time that the NBA 2007 lottery draw officially came to an end.
The final draw result was the same as in history!
The Trail Blazers "exploded" and won the No. 1 pick!
Moreover, the scene in which Lin Ying accidentally fantasized about the Celtics winning the second pick did not appear. The second pick still belonged to the Sonics.
According to the latest lottery results, "NBAdraft" has also updated the latest draft predictions:
No. 1 pick, Trail Blazers: Kevin Durant
No. 2 pick, SuperSonics: Greg Oden
No. 3 pick, Hawks: Al Horford
Fourth pick, Grizzlies: Brandon Wright
Fifth pick, Celtics: Yi Jianlian
No. 6 pick, Bucks: Mike Conley
No. 7 pick, Timberwolves: Jeff Green
No. 8 pick, Bobcats: Corey Brewer
No. 9 pick, Bulls (from Knicks): Spencer Hawes
No. 10 pick, Kings: Julian Wright
Pick 11, Hawks (from Pacers): Gavaris Crittenton
No. 12 pick, 76ers: Joakim Noah
13th pick, Hornets: Nick Young
Pick 14, Clippers: Al Thornton
Pick 15, Pistons: Lin Ying
…
This list is relatively close to the last draft list in history.
Of course the difference can be seen at a glance.
The most obvious thing is that Durant suppressed Oden for the first time and was selected as the No. 1 pick.
This is actually normal.
History has changed.
Durant had just led his team to win the NCAA championship. If it weren't for Noah's kick, he would have basically secured his MOP.
But it was that kick that allowed the outside world to see his fighting spirit and competitiveness.
This wave of predictions is reasonable.
Of course, the joint trial training has not yet started at this time, and there are still many unknowns in everything.
Even the prediction is just a prediction. Who in history can prevent the Cavaliers from selecting Bennett?
You must know that before the draft began, there was no prediction that Bennett would be the No. 1 pick.
Lin Ying's ranking also continued to rise, reaching the edge of the lottery for the first time.
However, it can also be seen that NBA teams still value the overall talent of players more in the lottery.
Historically, Noah only had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls in the NCAA finals on 1-of-3 shooting, but he was still selected with the 9th overall pick.
Chapter completed!
