Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 38 The Mall

For basketball players, playing is nothing more than a profession. Maybe they also have a passion or once had a passion, but after a long time, when their hobbies become jobs, they will inevitably get bored and need to find something else to do.

So there will be Jordan retiring to play baseball for the first time, Curry likes to play golf, Durant plays Twitter, Harden goes to nightclubs, chases eggs, Kobe is handsome, Pierce 35 dollars in 13 seconds... (Wait, the first two can be understood, what the hell are the latter?)
Many players will go to do other things after retiring, like Duncan went to open a car repair shop, and Deron went to boxing. Their lives are not just about basketball. On the contrary, fans like to imbue them with some football-crazy personalities, making it seem that they can't take care of themselves except for training and playing.

In this way, although this championship coaching system is aimed at basketball, is it completely reasonable to expand to other fields?

But if Li Sheng now has 10000 experience points, then he certainly wouldn't mind squandering a few skills that increase his chances of picking up girls, but now he hasn't even finished his main basketball business, and only has a basic 100 points of "money", so naturally he won't aim too high.

So what he focused on, of course, were those related to basketball. In terms of classification, there are several major categories such as "scouts", "training", "training", "injuries", "spirit", and "competition".

Speaking separately, scouting is the investigation of rookies and free agents, especially for some players who are not familiar with them, they can give their ability evaluation.

But for the time being, this is of no use to Li Sheng. At least he has watched the ball in the past few years, and he will not miss those who can play by relying on his memory. What's more, the current team is full of potential new stars.

Training is useful, and this is exactly what Li Sheng considered before, to help Robertson improve his shooting ability.

There are also various subdivisions, such as muscle gain, physical fitness, speed, strength, shooting, and breakthroughs. These physical and technical elements are all designed.

There is one thing that Li Sheng thinks is very important. The first thing to buy is the "One Eye Ding Zhen" that costs 2 points.

This ability allows Li Sheng to completely refine the level evaluations of his players in various skills, such as shooting ratings, ball handling ratings, and passing ratings.

Shooting is mainly an evaluation of three shooting abilities, including mid-range shots, three-pointers, and free throws. Robertson's three abilities are 61, 60, and 55 respectively. Even as a rookie, this value can be said to be very low.

Moreover, this must be only during training, or the level that can be achieved under an ideal state where everything is in a normal state. Due to various reasons in the game, it may only be able to play a part, or it may suddenly explode, depending on the state of the player at that time.

Even if the shooting is as strong as Curry, he often performs super long training before the game and even enters the open three-pointer in the game. Of course, this is a bit metaphysical.

And it's no surprise that Robertson's ability parameters will be so strong on the court. On the contrary, it can be said that he has performed supernormally.

In addition to the state impact, especially the consumption during the game will make him unable to maintain the normal shooting shape in training, there are also reasons for mentality, which again involves the field of "spirit".

Spiritual will is by no means a nonsense thing in competitive sports, but a real existence, not to mention those who can play out, especially those who can make a comeback after failure, is it because they are too nervous, especially in the NBA.

Just think about when ordinary people feel stinging when running with an injury on their leg, the players have to endure the pain to run and fight fiercely on the field, and you can imagine how tough it takes.

Of course, the end result of playing with an injury is mostly not good. For example, Kobe made it to the playoffs with a serious injury, and finally his career afterglow ended early. After that, he is no longer the boss who can play one against five.

For example, Buddha Thompson's "2 minutes" turned into two years. Leonard was injured and played in the Western Conference Finals but was stepped on. This ruined the season that may have sealed the gods and may even affect his future career. Durant's injury did not heal.

Another example is the hamstring injuries of Paul and Harden, which have affected their performance to a certain extent, and may even affect the championship and their career direction.

Injuries are of course regrettable, but injuries themselves are part of the league. There are many aspects to be compared to the championship. In the future, additional epidemic prevention measures will be added. Otherwise, the head coach will be quarantined or the players will not be able to play in the playoffs. Who can bear it?
Therefore, there must be a lot of things about injuries, and the mall is mainly divided into two aspects, one part is the prevention of injuries. Needless to say, this actually requires some usual evasive training and some metaphysical buffs.

For example, this "iron ankle", as long as it is used, can help players avoid ankle injuries to the greatest extent.

If it is stepped during the game, it can punish the protection mechanism.

There is even more powerful "damage transfer", that is, when the opponent intends to hurt you, the damage you may receive will be transferred to the opponent.

Or let’s say stepping on the feet. It should have been padded and sprained ankles, but because of this characteristic, it turned into a padded foot instead.

But how should I put it, Li Sheng, as a noble and pure person, of course disdains to use this kind of method. The so-called defensive heart is indispensable, and this kind of harmful heart is also indispensable.

Well, the main thing is that it’s too expensive, a “damage transfer” costs 50 points, what the fuck…

As for training and competition, there are some auxiliary tools. For example, when practicing tactics, there can be bonuses for the whole team to speed up, or during competitions, some props that can help win the game, which are commonly known as "cheats".

Compared with the whole system, this is of course only a small trick, and basically it can only be used for a short period of time, but as long as it works, it can change the situation of a game.

Among them, there are effects on individual individuals, and some effects on the team as a whole, fully seeing the needs of the time.

For example, "home court bonus", which is invisible and intangible, but it does exist, such as home whistle, home atmosphere, and factors such as familiarity with the venue.

But this prop can directly increase the team's shooting rate. There is also a "DEBUFF" version, which is used in defense and can effectively reduce the opponent's shooting rate.

Of course, this is not cheap either, it costs 10 o'clock at a time.

But when it comes to a critical game, if it can be used, it is actually not a loss.

Another example is this stamina cola, as the name suggests, is to replenish physical strength, allowing players to regain physical strength in a short period of time and burst out of strength.

After strenuous exercise, the human body sometimes presents a state of self-protection. At this time, it will make you feel that you can't move anymore and you need to stop and rest for a while.

But in fact, if you grit your teeth and persevere, you can still do it, but people's subconscious will be closed, and it is impossible to completely squeeze out this part of "potential".

This is actually understandable, because the consumption of this potential sometimes pays the price of possible injuries. For example, sometimes some people on the court insist on gritting their teeth, and as a result, this persistence may cause even bigger problems.

But the beauty of this stamina cola is that it is equivalent to "misappropriating" the physical strength that should have been rested and recovered to the present in advance, so that there is no need to stimulate the potential, and it also reduces physical risks.

Of course, there will inevitably be some sequelae of fatigue and sluggishness afterwards. Fortunately, it is only temporary, and it will take a longer time at most, but after that time, it will have no effect, and there is no need to worry about getting hurt because of it.

Of course, this thing is very useful. If it comes to a critical moment of the game, give a star who lacks physical strength a bite and let him recover in a short time, then the situation will be different immediately.

Especially like the Thunder, the core player Durant often suffers from physical problems at the end of the playoffs.

Of course, the most effective way is to share his pressure in other ways to ensure that he can have good physical strength throughout the game.
