my golden age

Chapter 5 Master Class

Tim Grover has brought Jordan, Kobe and Wade, and has a unique way of judging defenders.After only a few minutes of exposure, he realized that Gao Fei's talent was quite amazing.

Gao Fei's system has a basic function, that is, the training benefits are 1.25 times that of ordinary people.As the saying goes, get twice the result with half the effort. Although it is not so obvious, as long as you work hard, you can gain more than others.

Grover takes Goofy into the weight room and instructs him in strength training.

In the past, BJ BBMG also had strength training, but the method was not as detailed as Grover taught. Many muscle groups used in basketball games have not been trained.

After the strength training was over, Gao Fei returned to the arena.

Kobe came early and was working on his shots.

Grover took Goofy to the other half of the court, gave him a basketball, and asked him to show off his basketball skills.

Gao Fei is proficient in almost all of them, and has a good sense of ball feel and balance.

Grover was critical, but still saw some problems.

"Gao, your connection from receiving the ball to shooting is not coherent enough. If you can improve it, you can improve it a lot." He put forward suggestions that could help Gao Fei.

Kobe heard the trainer's words and said: "Tim, he can't understand English, you have to demonstrate it with movements."

Grover stopped Gao Fei's individual training, picked up a basketball, and demonstrated the connection from receiving the ball to shooting.Seeing that Gao Fei was watching intently, he demonstrated several times in a row.

Gao Fei guessed what the trainer meant and imitated the connecting movements. Although it was a bit awkward, it was indeed faster than before.

The running speed of American professional basketball players is very fast, and the opening time is slightly shorter than that of CBA. The faster shooting speed can better grasp the shooting opportunities.

After the one-person skills training is over, Grover asks Gao Fei to practice catching and shooting.

The same problem was corrected by the trainer again.

Gao Fei tried his best to catch the pass according to the catching posture taught by Grover, and took advantage of the situation to complete the shot.

Years of playing habits have given Gao Fei a muscle memory.It is obviously unrealistic to solve the problem of connecting movements in a short time.

The translator came to the training hall, like the rising sun, dispelling the shadow that Grover could not communicate with Gao Fei.

"Gao, if you practice according to the method I taught, your shooting speed can be a few tenths of a second faster." Grover said, "Your basic frame is very good, improve some details, and you can go to the next level."

Gao Fei felt that he had learned more in one training session with Grover than he had learned in the previous month.He sincerely thanked Grover and let the latter go back to assist Kobe in training.

Phil Jackson also came to the training hall early and called Gao Fei and the translator to the sidelines.

Gao Fei thought that the starting position had changed again, so he was extremely nervous.

Phil Jackson smiled and said, "Relax. I'm here to chat with you about family matters."

Gao Fei tried to relax and sat on the sidelines with Phil Jackson.

"I read your information. It seems that your jersey number has been No. 6 since the youth team. Is there any story behind this?" Phil Jackson is nicknamed the Zen master. He wants to know more than knowing the players one-sidedly. Stories that enhance understanding.

Numbers are very important things for basketball players.There must be special reasons for choosing the same number for a long time.

Jordan's back number is 23. The reason why he chose this back number is that he wanted to be half as good as his brother, so he chose 45, which is about half of No. 23.

The reason why Kobe chose No. 8 was that he participated in training camp in high school and had No. 143 on his back.He added the three numbers together to make his professional number.

Gao Fei said: "I chose this number has nothing to do with the NBA, it comes from a Japanese high school basketball cartoon."

Phil Jackson was very curious: "The level of basketball in Japan doesn't seem to be strong. Are their high school students good at playing?"

"Uh, it's okay." This sentence is a lie.According to the setting in the hands of Slam Dunk, even the No.1 Sawakita Eiji would not be looked down upon by basketball players of their level.

"Go ahead." Phil Jackson didn't want to dwell on the issue of comics, but only wanted to know why Goofy chose No. 6.

"In the manga, there is a man named Shenzong Ichiro. His talent is not good, but he is not too bad. He will practice more after training every day, and finally become the scoring leader in the county competition. I appreciate this spirit and choose the same talent as him. number 6."

"In other words, you want to be a genius who works hard?"

"I've been working hard, but I'm not sure if I'm a genius or not."

"The players in this league are all geniuses. Even the water dispenser players who can't play the ball are the best among the hundreds of thousands of basketball players in the world." Phil Jackson said, "You can start for the Lakers without any doubts Doubt is the genius of geniuses."

Gao Fei captured the key information from this sentence-he will be the starting point guard in the new season.

The NBA has a relatively obvious seniority, and usually a rookie has to go through a difficult period before becoming a starter.Kobe played as a substitute for a few years before he made it through.

At this time, the Lakers are in the rebuilding period, and it was a coincidence that they came sooner rather than later. Gao Fei caught up with the good time and saved a lot of trials and difficulties.

"You should know that I have taken the Chicago Bulls. If you compare this team to the Bulls, who do you think Kobe corresponds to?" Phil Jackson threw another question.

Gao Fei looked at Kobe, who was training hard, without hesitation: "Michael Jordan."

"What about you?"

Goofy paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Scottie Pippen?"

Phil Jackson shook his head: "Kobe is Jordan. You are Jordan."

Gao Fei didn't expect Phil Jackson to think so highly of him, and was very surprised.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, one day all the fans will know your name." Phil Jackson observed Gao Fei's expression and saw that he was not convinced.

Before Gao Fei got the system, he was a very ordinary basketball player for a long time. He had physical talent and couldn't play it at all.Only one year into the limelight, lacking confidence for a player of great talent.

Phil Jackson had a general understanding of Gao Fei's character and knew that he was a down-to-earth young man who worked hard.The shortcomings are also basically understood, and I know how to gradually help him improve.

Team training!

Kobe and Goofy were divided into two teams for intra-team confrontation.

Goofy's defensive talent began to show, always between Kobe and the basket.Although Kobe couldn't be restrained most of the time, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable every time he ended the offense.

Phil Jackson became more and more sure that his idea was right-Goofy would definitely become a superstar.

Goofy is low-key and restrained.Kobe has gone through ups and downs, and his age has reached 27 years old, and he is a little less energetic than before.As long as the two find a way, they can avoid the old path of the OK combination.

Phil Jackson has been observing Goofy throughout the training process. Whether it is the performance after dunking or the reaction after assisting his teammates, it has become the focus of his investigation.

Kobe likes tough and hard-working teammates. He always tries his best to fly high on the court, and he has been recognized by him imperceptibly.
