The All-Stars are over, and Edison once again performed, "Brother is not in the world, but there is a legend about him." But no matter what, once the 20th is over, the All-Stars matter has come to an end, whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied
Anyway, what happened is impossible to change.
If a year's NBA regular season is divided into three phases, the All-Star Game is right at the beginning of the third phase.
Once the All-Stars pass, 70% of the regular season has basically passed. You can basically tell what level each team is in this year. So everyone can already tell who is their main opponent in the playoffs.
. Because whether it is to grab 8 points, for the home court advantage, or simply to avoid a certain team, every team still gives 100% of its ability.
Although it cannot be said that the overall defensive intensity has improved to a higher level, the number of people giving up the game early has been greatly reduced. Basically, as long as there is hope, every team will fight until the last goal. Of course, Randolph is not included here.
, Curry and other players who have received new contracts.
Moreover, the trade deadline has arrived, and each team's last opportunity to make adjustments has ended. Whether the deal will succeed or not depends on this deal. Players and coaches can no longer pin their hopes on the team's uniform staff. How far can the team go?
The degree of success depends entirely on oneself, and the responsibility can no longer be extended to others.[
For the Magic, their final schedule is not very good. After the All-Star Game, they will have a day off to face their main competitor Cleveland James, and then they will go to the Western Conference to challenge the Los Angeles Spaceships.
Team.
Because of the intense pressure of the game, Edison also put aside his personal worries and focused his life on the team. Now he spends more than 60% of his time at the Waterhouse Center every day, either training or with Thibodeau.
Watch tape and study other teams.
On this day, Edison came to the Water House Center early at eight o'clock again, not to check information or anything else, but to supervise the players, let them come to training early, and also set an example for them.
In fact, this is just like normal office workers. Although every company stipulates that you have to clock in at 9 o'clock, every company has one or two so-called people who are always late. No matter how severe the punishment is, you will not deduct wages or bonuses.
, it’s useless, they may change it for two days, but it will definitely relapse on the third day.
The only effective way is that the boss arrives at nine o'clock, and they will definitely not be late. If the boss arrives at 8:30, then the employees can probably arrive 10 minutes earlier. A typical example is Zhou Papi, the tenant who works under him when the chicken crows in the middle of the night.
The attendance rate and attendance time are both top-notch.
Players are also human beings, and their training and games are actually another form of work. Therefore, if Edison comes early, those who want to be lazy will consider it and finally show up at the training ground on time.
But today, before Edison entered the training ground, he heard bursts of shouting coming from the field, as if one person was directing another person.
"Who is training so early?" Edison walked quickly, tilting his head and thinking, "Forget it, no matter who it is, this is a good thing."
After Edison opened the door, he quickly searched for the source of the sound. The training ground in the center of the water house was very empty, and as far as the eye could see, a bald and muscular man touched the butt of another more muscular man, while shouting loudly, "Harder."
"Mark, Josh, you two are here so early." Edison walked into the arena and took the initiative to greet Josh Smith and Mark Jackson.
When the two saw Edison coming in, they also stopped fighting, "Good morning, coach." "Good morning, Paul."
"It's okay. You can continue training. Don't worry about me. I'll go change clothes first." Edison quickly walked into the locker room while gesturing to the two people.
Two minutes later, Edison, who had changed from formal clothes to sportswear, reappeared in front of the two of them.
"Mark, are you aware of Josh's post-up skills?" Edison understood what the two men were doing after watching two rounds.
"That's right. Josh felt that he had too many deficiencies in this area, so he asked me to train him individually for an hour and a half every morning and evening since February."
"Well, so you guys will arrive at a little after 7 o'clock every day." After hearing this, Edison calculated the time and nodded.
"Yes, sometimes we arrive here at 7 o'clock. But this guy is very stupid. He has made no progress at all after more than 20 days. He turns around like a wax man and is not smooth at all." Mark Jackson said fiercely.
He slapped Josh Smith on the back. Josh was very embarrassed and smiled through his teeth.
"Well, what is the reason? Is the movement not in place or something else?"
Mark Jackson thought for a moment and then replied, "He still doesn't practice enough, and he can't keep his center of gravity down, so he always wants to jump."[
"Then you have to teach him well."
After speaking, Edison stopped disturbing the two people who were training and went to the tactical conference room of the training hall to watch the video.
Edison thought to himself as he walked, "It seems that Brand's stimulation and influence on Josh Smith have begun to show up. This guy always liked to stay in the weight room last season and rarely came out to show his technical pace. Now look
He's already a little enlightened. I don't know when that guy Howard will be enlightened as well."
In fact, in many competitive sports, the greatest influence on young athletes is not the coach, but the old athletes - successful old athletes. Maybe the old athletes do not deliberately do anything or guide the young players, but some of their subtle behaviors in daily life are
It allows the younger generation to think, imitate, learn, and then follow his path to success.
Of course, I admit that there are players like Paul, Roy, and Lillard who inherently know what they should do, but they are only a minority after all. There are more players who are talented, but they just don’t have a good guide, and the years are wasted.
For example, Cousins, his talent and ability are nothing to say, but in the three years since he entered the league, apart from getting more and more angry, he has not made any progress in helping the team. Why, it is because the Kings do not have a good player.
With him, if he is next to Garnett or Duncan, I think he is fully capable of beating Griffin and Aldridge 360 degrees.
Although Edison didn't say anything on the surface about Josh Smith's efforts to improve, he remembered it in his heart. However, he did not increase Josh Smith's playing time because of his efforts. He still let him sit on the bench and play every game.
After 16 minutes, as the saying goes, the more he presses on Josh now, the more amazing the explosion will be in the future.

Putting aside the training of Magic players, on the evening of February 22, the Magic sat in Orlando to accept the Cavaliers' challenge.
"The Cavaliers look very fierce now. The media said that James will be a guest in Orlando with the power of the All-Star MVP, and then he will be able to do something like that. But we all know that that guy played the most time in the All-Star Game among all the people.
He reached 30 minutes, and he didn't return to the team in time the next day, so he spent a day in Houston. As the saying goes, if you don't practice for one day, your hands and feet will be slow. If you don't practice for two days, you will lose half of your skills. So when he came to Orlando today, he was definitely not in good health.
Best state."
"Except for James, I really don't pay attention to anyone else in the Cavaliers. But I still can't be careless. Big Z performed very well before the All-Star Game, although it may be because he wanted to get the extraordinary privilege to participate in the All-Star Game.
Play, but everyone still needs to keep this in mind, especially you, Dwight."
"There is only one win between our two teams. If we can win this game, we will be back on the same starting line, and we may have home court advantage, so we must win this game. If we lose, where will Nelson have a share?
With the new training plan, I believe you will satisfy your strong energy."
Edison was giving pre-game encouragement in the locker room, not just banging the tactical board, but the Magic players sitting below also listened very seriously.
Because it was Orlando, James was not given fans to interact with the players, but the Magic fans still gave a strong response when he came out - the boos were louder than the cheers when Nash came out.
Of course, for James, he has long been accustomed to the hatred and booing from visiting fans, but it doesn't matter, he will use his actions to silence those people.
However, the Magic did not give him a chance today. From the beginning, the Magic suppressed the Cavaliers, and Iguodala even defended James so severely that he would commit suicide.
"Our rookie mvp and all-star mvp have already faced each other, and now it is our Iguodala who takes the initiative, forcing James to take shots from the outside twice in a row. Although he made a three-pointer,
This line of thinking is undoubtedly correct." When the Magic's home commentator saw Iguodala's good performance, he couldn't stop praising him.
In fact, James was really affected by the lack of systematic training in the previous four days. He was in full condition and felt completely cold.
However, a superstar like James adjusts very quickly. He can quickly find his game state through games. Of course, in order to ensure his shooting percentage, he also started to use his crab steps.
However, it was obvious that the referee on duty today did not intend to give him face. As soon as he moved after a small jump, he remembered the whistle. Although James looked very atavistic, his IQ was definitely high enough. He complained first, and then
He stopped trying because he knew the referee was no longer on his side.
Without the crab walk, James can only use other methods to take advantage of his strong athletic ability. He starts to lead the team to run.
In fact, although many people think that the "Emperor"'s movements lack beauty and resemble an orangutan, from a kinematic perspective, James is one of the people with the most correct running posture in the NBA.
James' running form is the most correct in the NBA in the eyes of experts [
Just like nb's different shooting postures, almost no two players' running postures are the same. As long as they can score goals, the coach will not care whether the player's shooting movement is standard, and the coach will not ask the players what posture to use from
The backcourt runs to the frontcourt. This is not something that coaches in top professional leagues should care about. The basic skills of players are formed as early as teenagers, even if it is unreasonable.
Most people are used to hitting the ground hard with their heels and then touching the ground with their front feet when running. Kobe, Roy, and Paul all run like this. If you look at the covers they took for basketball magazines, no matter how badly their bodies lean, but
Both have lower heels.
On the one hand, they do this because they think this running method is very safe; on the other hand, this is also a problem that is "passed from generation to generation". NBA players who got up early also ran like this. After all, the weight of the players is so heavy, and the previous players
Your physical fitness is not as good as it is now, and you can easily get injured if you are not careful.
James does not run like this. He touches the ground on the balls of his front feet, exerts force when lifting his feet, and has a very fast pace. Although this looks very unstable, it reduces the impact on the ankle and knee joints, which is why James rarely suffers
Causes of injury and illness.
Moreover, this running method has stronger impact and faster speed.
However, his state was obviously not right today. Although he wanted to exert his strength, he was always close and could not get rid of Iguodala. When James' offense was restricted, another unexpected person from the Cavaliers stepped forward.
