Chapter 144 Being able to practice is also a talent
"Wow~ Hot, you are very good at creating selling points now, not bad, good, good progress!"
While practicing ball early in the morning, I heard Ci Shiping opening the door.
"What? Meta, what do you mean by this?" Tang Qian turned around and asked after hearing this.
"Hehehehe, it's hot, isn't it? You're so forgetful, are you already senile before you get old?" Ci Shiping smiled and took out a newspaper and said: "Here, take a look, is this the case?
What did you say last night?"
This is a FOX sports newspaper, and the page Ci Shiping opened is printed with an eye-catching title: Confidence or arrogance? The voice of the Lakers on the 29th!
Tang Qian read down the title. After a minute, his expression changed and he couldn't help but said: "What the hell is this? Lakers No. 29 thought he performed very well last night, so he gave himself a
B-level evaluation??? When did I give myself a B-level evaluation? My original words were that I felt okay, I could give it a 6. Why did it become like this in the newspaper? And this for Mal
When did I express my disdain for Chin Gortat’s remarks? Even if I really thought so, I wouldn’t say that? Also, when did I say that I was not satisfied with the current situation?
?The Lakers' No. 29 boasts that fixed rotations and even the team's sixth man are not his standard. "Sooner or later, the starting position will be mine." This is a powerful statement since Napoleon's hot money. Will he be able to fulfill his promise in the future?
What about? Let’s wait and see! Exclusive interview report from FOX Sports reporter Abby Hornacek.”
"Who is this person? Isn't this distorting the facts and writing nonsense?" Tang Qian felt that he had been tricked and said very annoyed.
"Abby Hornacek, she is one of the beautiful reporters of FOX Sports. Her father is the famous former NBA player Jeff Hornacek. Taking advantage of this, she has been involved in the NBA basketball circle since she was a child. Back then, there was
What’s the nickname ‘Little Devil’?” Derek Fisher was older and had a longer history in humanities, so he stood up and explained to Tang Qian.
"Jeff Hornacek's daughter?" Tang Qian was slightly startled when he heard this. He still had an impression of this name. He was born in an American basketball family. His father was a basketball coach. He was selected as an All-Star in his life, and also
He has won two three-point shooting contests. But the deepest impression of him comes from Michael Jordan, who competed with the Bulls for the championship for two consecutive years, giving the name Jeff Hornacek
It has entered the eyes of countless Chinese fans. Of course, most of the time it is a supporting role, a somewhat sad foil.
However, this All-Star player who averaged 20.1 points, 5.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game during his peak period had an extremely low draft pick. He was reluctantly selected by the Phoenix Suns with No. 22 in the second round. During this period, he wanted to leave a note for himself.
He even interviewed for a job in an accounting firm while playing basketball. Therefore, Jeff Hornacek is definitely a living "inspirational story" in the 1980s. The young people who worked hard based on his career story were
People are very common in Phoenix.
"This is really unexpected. No wonder she is so young and can deal with NBA players with ease." Tang Qian said to himself with some clarity.
"Isn't it?" Fisher smiled and said: "For her, NBA players have long been accustomed to strange things, so how can they not be relaxed and comfortable? If you want to blame it, just blame yourself for your unlucky, hot,
Who told you to bump into her!"
"Then she can't write randomly like this? I obviously didn't say that..."
"Ooh~ Hot, you are still too young!" Ci Shiping intervened: "When dealing with these reporters, do you still expect them to copy and paste what you said? Adding fuel, jealousy, and nonsense, that's no good.
This is a normal thing, otherwise there will be no explosive points at all. How can you ask them to go to the finance office to collect their salary? Haha~"
"Hom, I rarely agree with what Mehta says, but this sentence, he is right." Luke Walton said in agreement.
"Then, how should I answer in the future?" Even though Tang Qian had two lifetimes of memory, he had never encountered this kind of posture with long guns and short cannons!
"Don't think too much, perm, this is not difficult to do." Pau Gasol said: "Either you don't think too much, just let nature take its course, because no matter what you say, they will be free to use it and add fuel to the fire."
"Either you become like him and become a high-profile superstar in the league, so reporters will basically stop tampering with your original words at will. Because everything you say and do is a selling point, there is no need to
Then add something to the problem." Paul Gasol said: "Do you understand now?"
"Really...a high-profile superstar?" Tang Qian turned his head unconsciously, looked at Team No. 24, who was standing alone in the other half practicing free throws, and nodded slowly.
…
Domestically, Tang Qian's game received mixed reviews.
A group of people said that Tang Ji finally started to attack, which shows that although his offensive ability is not strong, it is not as weak as rumored. A group of people said that it was just good luck, because most of them were eaten by force.
It's a hard squeeze, and no offensive skills can be seen at all. This state cannot continue.
Post bars and forums are a turbulent place, with all kinds of sparring posts and mutual comments emerging one after another. There is such a momentum that one will never give up until victory.
But the debate is a debate, but Tang Qian's extremely arrogant dunks were all included in the NBA's top five goals today without exception. Even this week's top ten goals have been booked in advance.
"You are so domineering! This little dunk makes people's blood boil with excitement!"
Netizens left messages one after another.
"It's just that I'm sorry for being fat. Now, with Tang Qian's poster background, he can't run away."
"But I think we still need to have a sense of urgency. The performance of one game does not count! Haven't you seen Tang Ji's comprehensive data during this period? They are almost terrible! Even in this game, he played very little time.
It's pitiful, this is a very negative sign! I advise everyone not to be too optimistic!"
Someone stood up and poured cold water on me.
"It makes sense. Everyone supports Tang Jigui, but we still need to be clear-headed. Don't start a debate!"
"Yes, Tang Qi's playing time is really too little. Why doesn't Mike Brown give him more time?"
"There is no other way. Have you seen the Lakers' roster? The inside players are very crowded. If they are divided evenly, time will indeed be tight!"
"But I remember that the playoff roster can only have 12 players. By that time, there will be no so-called injured list and inactive list."
"The correct answer is upstairs, so the Lakers' internal manpower problem will have to be solved sooner or later, and the most likely solution is to lay off employees, which saves time and effort."
"Oh, I hope Tang Qi can be included in the Lakers' playoff roster, but he must not be like Sun Dasheng, who can't even make the playoff roster in the end!"
…
After losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Lakers entered a relatively long rest period. They must make good use of this rest period to recover from the huge physical exertion of four games in five days. But this is for the main players of the team.
Tang Qian does not have this problem. His playing time is pitiful anyway, so there is no need to consider the trouble of physical recovery.
After the 23rd, the Lakers' next game is on the 29th, against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
For five whole days, the Lakers were able to practice in a relatively relaxed state.
February 24th, today is the first day of the "long holiday". In order to avoid excessive fatigue of the players, Mike Brown ended the team training early in the afternoon and informed that tomorrow's training would not start until 3 p.m.
The Lakers players naturally clapped their hands and celebrated, because during the long game period, getting a rest is absolutely very precious and luxurious. Although most people will not let themselves go after training even if they rest.
When I'm really free, I go to nightclubs, bars, etc., and have a lot of fun, which is euphemistically called mental recuperation.
This has become commonplace and commonplace in the NBA and the four major American competitive leagues.
Even the head coach of a team, who usually doesn't play too exaggeratedly, will be too lazy to take care of it and turn a blind eye.
But there are always training freaks who will continue to train, such as Kobe. Although he also drove home, according to Pau Gasol, the reason why he went home was not to relax or have fun, but to have peace and harmony.
Personal trainers perform more targeted individual exercises.
At first, Tang Qian wanted to imitate Kobe Bryant and trained like crazy day and night, but he soon found that it was difficult for him to persevere. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that there was a problem with Tang Qian’s determination and willpower, but with him.
His body and stamina restricted him from continuing to train. At this time, Tang Qian suddenly understood why NBA players were full of praise for Kobe's training. Could it be that these people really don't train hard or persist in training? No.
, Absolutely not. After all, most of those who can enter the NBA are basketball geniuses. Hard training starts from a young age and is essential. But why do everyone praise this man’s hard training so much? The reason is simple.
, Tang Qian came to the Lakers and gradually discovered the secret.
Those are two words: you can practice, and you can practice beyond ordinary people, no, you can practice beyond geniuses.
To paraphrase the words of Gary Vitti, the later chief physician and chief trainer of the Lakers, his hard work surpassed his talent.
Among the historical superstars, his physical talent is not outstanding, but he has another talent and can practice.
Moreover, it is an ability that ordinary people cannot achieve.
In the NBA, almost no one can train at a high intensity while still staying physically fit and energetic at night.
Even Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" back then, couldn't do it.
Of course, maybe because of Jordan's talent, he didn't have the need to do this at all. However, the "Zen Master" was most certain about Kobe's training, and even bluntly said that this was where even Jordan was inferior to him. This kind of horror, from this
generally.
In terms of the crazy level of training alone, Kobe is considered the absolute king of the NBA.
It’s not that most people don’t want to learn from Kobe’s training attitude, it’s that they can’t train like Kobe!
Even Tang Qian, who has a "different space", can't do this yet. Although his recovery crystal bricks have reached nine, no matter how tired he is in a day, he can recover as before after sleeping all night. But the problem is, that also requires
Does he have time to sleep? There are 24 hours in a day, so it can’t be all left to sleep, right? And the most important thing is that once a person goes through a period of sleep, his body functions need to slowly recover.
, let you do strenuous exercise, I guarantee you will feel like dying, and the discount of one third of the exercise state is light. Therefore, after Tang Qian tried several times, he decisively chose to give up temporarily. After all, his current physical strength crystal
There are only 6 bricks, so I have just passed the test. When I get stronger in the future, I may be able to absorb Kobe's training model.
Otherwise, just training will drain your physical energy. Then what game will you play at night? Why not become a soft-footed shrimp?
There are many examples of this in the NBA. The most famous one is Pat Riley's "Devil's Training and Squeezing Method". This was exemplified in the 1991 Finals. The Lakers were easily defeated by the Chicago Bulls 4-1.
Later, "Zen Master" Jackson stood up and said this problem. It was not that the Chicago Bulls were too strong that year, but that the Los Angeles Lakers were too weak. The Lakers' players had long been under Pat Riley's "devil training."
He drained his energy, so you saw an extremely slow "magician" on the stage of the 1991 Finals. This may be a bit of a joke, but Riley's "devil training" is genuine.
Of course, the results are not without success. For example, the Lakers' two consecutive championships in 1987 and 1988, the rapid rise of the New York Knicks, and the Heat's championship were all indispensable for Riley's "devil training". In addition to the team's record, his personal position in Riley
Under the "devil training" of Lee, there is also the possibility of a rapid outbreak or a second spring. But in no case, it cannot last long. Mourning's injury, Wade's injury, O'Neal's fall out with Riley in training, all
It illustrates one point, "devil training" has quick results, but it cannot last long, otherwise it may lead to overdraft at best or injury at worst.
Why didn't the Lakers win three consecutive championships in 1989? Could it be that the Lakers of that year couldn't do it? No, the Lakers of that year were almost comparable to the Lakers of 2001. The Western Conference playoffs were overwhelming, and all their opponents were swept out.
Don't be sloppy. So when facing the Pistons, everyone thought that the Lakers were sure to win, and at most they were thinking about winning the championship in the next few games. But at this moment, Riley said "no.zuo.no.die",
Before the finals, he took all the Lakers players to Santa Barbara for a week of closed training. The final result was extremely brilliant. "Magic" Johnson and Byron Scott were injured at the same time, and "Sky Hook"
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also suffered a sharp decline due to physical exhaustion, and the Los Angeles Lakers were swept and lost 4-0.
So being able to practice is also a kind of talent. No wonder Pat Riley has expressed his position to the media many times that he wants to coach Kobe and is willing to coach Kobe. Combined with his training methods, it is not difficult to figure it out.
Tang Qian now does not have the physical conditions, so he can only give up temporarily.
…
That night, Tang Qian received a transoceanic call.
"Son, someone who claims to be a basketball administrator and basketball association came to our house today. His name is Chen Xin. Do you know him?" The person who called Tang Qian was none other than his mother, Tang Mu.
Tang Qian was slightly startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Chen Xin? No, I don't know this person."
"That's strange. He said that he came to see you on behalf of the Chinese Basketball Association and the Chinese Basketball Association. I have seen my work permit and ID card. They should not be fake."
"Representing the Chinese Basketball Association and the Chinese Basketball Association?" Tang Qian thought of Li Qiuping in China, and said to Tang's mother, "Mom, I'll go ask first and call you later."
After Tang Qian hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Li Qiuping's mobile phone number.
"Xiao Tang? What do you want from me?" Li Qiuping opened his mouth and asked after getting through.
"Coach Li, I want to ask you something." Tang Qian said.
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Li Qiuping said.
"Coach Li, my mother told me today that someone claiming to be a basketball administrator and basketball association came to our house. No, I just want to ask if this person was sent by you?"
"What? Someone from the Basketball Association and the Basketball Association? What's his name?" Li Qiuping's voice suddenly became nervous and said.
"My mother said it seems to be called Chen Xin." Tang Qian replied.
"Chen Xin??? It's Chen Xin from his office???" Li Qiuping had obviously heard this name, and quickly said to his mobile phone: "Is he here to recruit you?"
"Recruiting me? I'm not sure about that."
"Xiao Tang, listen to me, you can't make any promises to this person, otherwise it will be harmful to your career without any benefit."
"Is this so serious?" Tang Qian heard the other party's serious tone and couldn't help asking more: "Coach Li, who is this Chen Xin?"
"He is a person from above." Li Qiuping said, "And he is one of his confidants."
"Above? How much above?" Tang Qian asked.
Li Qiuping paused and then said: "Basketball... is at the top."
Tang Qian was stunned. His family had always been "common people", so this was the first time in his life that he faced this situation.
"Why do the people at the top come to me?"
"If my guess is correct," Li Qiuping said, "It's to win over you and make you a regular player in the system."
"Established players within the system?"
"Yes, because of this, they can effectively control you." Li Qiuping said: "They will make a lot of promises to you, including your future benefits after retirement, such as deputy director-level treatment, director-level treatment, etc. But in reality
Yes, they just want to use you for their own purposes and become a fuel for their promotion. So you must not agree to this condition, otherwise Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian will serve as a lesson to you."
"I understand. I'm going to tell my parents clearly and tell them not to agree to any of the other party's requests," Tang Qian said.
"Well, I will help you operate it here in China, so you don't have to worry too much." Li Qiuping said.
Neither Tang Qian nor Li Qiuping expected that this matter had just begun.
PS: This paragraph about Pat Riley is a true thing. One of the materials comes from "Shaq Unedited", the autobiography of "Shaq" O'Neal. It says this about Riley: He assigned each of us
All kinds of training and exercises, and then repetition, repetition, repetition. The training sessions in Miami are simply hell. We old guys are exhausted just from training. How can we have any energy left to play well in the game?
So from this passage, we can see how terrible Pat Riley's training is. Even the physical fitness of a super giant is difficult to endure for a long time.
