After completing some basic error correction procedures and explaining in detail the differences between fiba and nba rules to these star players, the training of the Dream Team was finally officially put on the agenda. After just two days
After two weeks of joint training, the joint training time of the Dream Eight Team has come to an end. During this period, the members of the Dream Eight Team have been reduced to a certain extent. Elton Brand is the first
A star who left training camp in Las Vegas, followed closely by Brandon Roy, who also boarded the plane leaving Las Vegas. Following him were Stoudemire and Paul Pierce.
It's not because these players are not good enough, but because there are others who are better. With all the superstars in the league free to choose from, only twelve of them have to be selected to participate in 2008.
2016 Beijing Olympics,
For the selection of players, Coach K has his own set of standards. In addition to a few big-name players who are required by Nike, the largest sponsor of the national team, to participate in the 2008 Olympic Games, such as Kobe Bryant, Cameron
-In addition to Anthony, LeBron James and others, Coach K first selects players who are good at defense and shooting. Under such a premise, if there are players who are more keen on teamwork, they will also be picked by Coach K.
Prioritize,
Center: Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Kevin Garnett
Forwards: Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Tayshaun Prince, LeBron James, Joe Johnson, Antoine Jamison
Guards: Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Dwyane Wade, Michael Redd, Chris Paul and Adrian Kewelt.
This list is obviously over the standard. However, lessons have been learned from the shortage of players in previous World Series. This time the list of the national team is obviously based on the mentality of making sure there is no shortage. In short, we must first prepare as many people as possible.
In this way, even if there is any emergency situation, the problem of being left alone can be avoided.
After basically determining the roster of sixteen players, Brazil and Argentina, two relatively strong local teams outside of the United States, had two warm-up matches respectively. Both warm-up matches were played very easily.
Both Ginobili and Barbosa did not participate in this game due to some personal reasons. The Argentine team relied on Luis Scola to support the overall situation.
Adrian played for about ten minutes in each of the two games. In terms of performance, he actually felt that he had no performance at all. Even though he diligently ran back and forth on the court, it was still difficult for Adrian to get the ball.
Before Gasol arrived at the Lakers, Adrian felt the pain of not having the ball in his hands. LeBron James firmly held the ball, and he could only try his best to show his ability on the defensive end.
.But he did not complain or lose his temper because of this, because he knew very well that although Coach K was quite enthusiastic about him, he was definitely not an easy person to get along with.
Having a conflict is definitely an act of stupidity.
The American team won both games, one by 112:78 and the other by 108:85, both defeating their opponents by big margins.
After the two warm-up matches, it was time for the national team, which had been temporarily training this summer, to disband.
Adrian's scheduled schedule this summer has basically ended, and Adrian returned to Los Angeles after completing all his work.
For Adrian, he has wasted a lot of time this summer. Now that it is less than a month before the start of the new season, he is eager to carry out his own personal training plan so that he can perform better in the new season.
Go to the next level. Although there are still many advertisers who want to contact him, Adrian asked Ryan to reject them all. As to why he is favored by advertisers, Adrian knows well that his performance on the field is
His biggest bargaining chip is one that he must never give up. He wants advertisers to maintain this attitude. Just maintaining his own level is not enough. He must become stronger and more efficient in the new season.
Better.
Especially with the possible arrival of Gasol!
Although he didn't say it, Adrian knew very well that Gasol's possible arrival had already posed a threat to Adrian. As a nearly seven-foot power forward, Gasol can be said to be perfect in executing triangle tactical control.
The candidate for the ball forward task. With the possible arrival of Gasol, Adrian wants to maintain his possession of the ball. Even if he cannot retain all of it, he must prove one thing, that is, when he has the ball, he can
He should be more efficient than Gasol, or at least have similar efficiency.
In addition, his offensive ability without the ball must also be enhanced. As a point guard, Adrian's ability without the ball has never been strong. The two warm-up matches of the national team made him fully realize this.
When the ball was not in his hands, Adrian felt a little at a loss. At one point, he could do nothing but stand on the three-point line and wait for the ball.
For Adrian, even if he considers the worst case scenario, he really loses the ball. He cannot tolerate himself becoming a fixed-point fort standing on the three-point line waiting for the ball, because if the situation is really like this
If this develops like that, Adrian can be sure that his performance in the new season will be extremely bad, because this is simply not in line with his playing habits. He does have a certain three-point ability, but he must use his
Using the three-point ability as his main weapon, Adrian asked himself that there was no way he could become an excellent fixed-point turret.
Therefore, his ability to run without the ball must be enhanced, especially his ability to get rid of defensive players without the ball.
Adrian still has some experience in how to get rid of defensive players. The key to getting rid of defensive players is not how fast or strong you are. Although Adrian is fast and strong enough, he can also rely on these two
This weapon can get rid of many defenders with average physical fitness, but the essence of running without the ball is not there.
The essence of running without the ball is deception, that is, fake movements. Commonly used ways to escape include first accelerating in one direction and then suddenly changing direction and turning around. As well as small pushing interference when getting rid of the defensive player.
In the national team, there are two masters of running without the ball. Ray Allen and Hamilton. Neither Ray Allen nor Hamilton can help Adrian, the 'enemy', to train his abilities. But
During the national team's confrontation training, Adrian had defended Ray Allen and Hamilton many times. At that time, Adrian had realized
He had to enhance his abilities, so when defending these two people, Adrian observed very carefully, how they got rid of him and how they interfered with his following. Adrian had a deep memory. What he has to do now
Things are just a matter of replaying the moment at that time, and treating these scenes as experiences, firmly remembering them in your heart, and becoming a part of yourself!
In addition to running without the ball, another key training goal for Adrian is the low post attack!
At present, Adrian's most commonly used scoring methods are, in addition to three-pointers that are difficult to rely on, and frontal breakthroughs of defensive players with his strong body and speed and good ball control ability. More of his scoring comes from him
Singles in the low post. Low post singles have become a scoring weapon for Adrian. Thirty-eight percent of his points are obtained through low post singles and fouls caused by singles.
Regarding how to strengthen his low post singles, Adrian chose to watch Jordan's game videos to learn. Although Jordan is known as a flying man, the most memorable thing is his terrifying physical fitness that can take off from the free throw line and dunk. But in fact,
Throughout the glorious period of Jordan's career, low-post singles were Jordan's most commonly used and most effective offensive weapon.
After receiving the ball with his back on both sides of the basket, he either used a fake move to shift the defensive focus of the defensive player, turned his back and directly broke through the defensive player to face the basket; or after receiving the ball, he directly turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper; or he leaned inward.
After playing a few times, he used his dazzling steps to shake off the defender and then made a powerful dunk.
Jordan's low post offense was almost impossible to defend.
For Adrian, he does not yet have as sound offensive skills as Jordan, and he cannot easily score points in the low post like Jordan, but he also has his advantages. He is taller and stronger than Jordan.
It may even surpass Jordan in his heyday. In addition, although he is in the low position,
Although his vision is greatly restricted, his passing skills will not disappear just because he reaches the low post. Even in the low post, he is an excellent organizer. The biggest gap between him and Jordan is his skill.
His footsteps and shooting are areas where Adrian urgently needs to strengthen himself.
He originally hoped to improve and strengthen his low-post footwork by asking Olajuwon to teach him. Unfortunately, Olajuwon's work schedule this summer is quite full. As the post player with the best footwork in the history of the league, Olajuwon will have to work hard every summer.
Wong is always the person who consults young insiders, and it is difficult for him to find time for one-on-one guidance to Adrian. Obviously, Olajuwon now does not have much interest in coaching the low-post footsteps of the outside.
He politely declined Derian's call for advice.
Rejected by Olajuwon, Adrian did not give up his training plan. He could only call several NBA amateur players through Ryan, hoping that they could help him train. This was done easily.
, helping nba stars train has always been regarded by nbdl players as a way to show off their abilities and a springboard to the nba. What's more, this kind of training is not purely compulsory, and there is a salary. For nbdl
For players, their income is very small, and it is common for them to make extra money through some exhibition games and training assistance in the summer. Generally speaking, they will go to the summer league to play games and see if any of them have been selected by the NBA team.
Opportunity, but this chance is still too small after all. What the team focuses on is the performance of this year's rookies. Since Adrian invited them to help with training and has a good weekly salary, they naturally came.
While Adrian was busy training, Mitch Kupchak, who was repeatedly forced by Kobe Bryant, finally gave his explanation... Gasol is here! (To be continued...)
