At 73:92, in the first game of the Athens Olympics, facing Puerto Rico, the "poor relative" outside the United States, the US team not only lost, but also lost miserably!The record of 24 consecutive victories in Olympic history ended.It was also the worst defeat suffered in the history of American basketball. In the 40-minute game, Puerto Rico led by 33 minutes. Except for the slight confrontation between the two sides in the opening stage, it was almost a one-sided victory for Puerto Rico.At the end of the first half, Puerto Rico led 49 to 27, and the 22-point lead remained for a long time in the second half. Although the Dream Team once made a strong counterattack and narrowed the point difference to 8 points, in the fourth quarter, they won the game. With 24 points, 7 assists and 4 steals, Arroyo completely controlled the game. Every time he broke through and scored, the NBA superstars couldn't stop him. The Utah Jazz's backup guard completely buried a period of American basketball history. Proud history.When Duncan and Iverson were two players, the two sides could barely maintain a balance, but after the two superstars left the field, the young people were completely unable to deal with FIBA's defense system.

"If you don't make changes, Athens is just a continuation of Indianapolis!" Just one day later, Ke Yan's words were full of heartache!

When he came to the training hall, Ke Yan did not see Brian Shaw, who had agreed to eat up all the basketballs in the training hall. Instead, he saw Anderson, whom he strongly advocated signing, practicing the attacking steps under the basket under the guidance of the trainer. He couldn't help feeling a little relieved .

How to put it, although it is only a basic salary, for the coaching staff, Anderson is most likely only a substitute on the bench to accompany guests, and it is difficult to get opportunities at the beginning of the season.But Ke Yan is clear about the difficulties the Lakers face in the new season. As long as Anderson adjusts to the best state at the beginning of the new season, it is not difficult to find opportunities to play.

"Chris, is it convenient for us to chat?" After the training break, Ke Yan took a bottle of water and walked towards Anderson, who was panting with his head down.

Unlike other players, Anderson's basketball experience is very special, because no one taught him the registration process, he missed the draft, and later also played in the CBA, and because of that interesting experience, Anderson accepted Chinese The degree is slightly higher.

Reaching out to take the mineral water that Ke Yan handed over, Ke Yan didn't mind Anderson's rudeness, and continued: "Have you considered the team's signing with you, and what qualities do you hope to provide in the team?"

"Of course it's my shot-blocking ability." People with simple brains only value what is on the statistical table. Looking at his own data, Anderson also feels that he relies on this to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Of course, Anderson's other statistics are not outstanding.

"If it's just blocking shots, I want to say that no coach will think that Camby's defense is better than Duncan! The team needs players who make correct defensive behaviors on the court."

"What the hell are you trying to say!" Anderson was a little irritable. When he heard something he didn't like to hear, he immediately stood up and acted impatiently.

"What I want to say is that if you want to get more opportunities in the Lakers, you must understand what the team needs, where you should make progress, and how to make progress, instead of working hard here." After saying this, Ke Yan turned and left.He handed the option to Anderson.

If Anderson wants to make the right progress, he will naturally come to him.

This is the same as the college entrance examination. Except for a very few geniuses who can achieve full marks in all subjects, most ordinary students must have superior subjects and lame subjects.If you want to be admitted to a good university, you must get more points in your strength subjects, find the correct learning method within your ability, and check for weaknesses in weak subjects.

Facts have proved that Anderson still wants to improve. After half an hour, he came to the coaching staff's office and asked Ke Yan what he should work hard for.

"This is your high-level data report for last season. The indicators marked with a red pen are lower than the league average. The data shows that your defensive efficiency is actually lower than the league average." Ke Yan said seriously.

A player who averaged 18 blocks in 1.2 minutes per game, whose defensive efficiency is lower than the league average?It was written there in black and white on the report.Compared with Camby, who is prone to miss or gamble defense in order to brush rebounds and block shots, Anderson's defensive problem is that he is not strong enough in his lower body and is easy to be knocked out of the shooting space by others. Well, the third is that the defensive skills are not enough and it is easy to be overwhelmed.

"Compared to practicing footwork on the offensive end, improving your influence on the defensive end is what you should do and can do. Only by doing this well can you get a chance to play in the Lakers."

"Defensive experience needs to be accumulated slowly in the game, but lower body strength and defensive skills can be improved in training. It depends on whether you are willing to practice hard."

"Of course, how should I practice?"

The strength training of the lower limbs is different from that of the upper limbs. Overloading, if any damage to the knee meniscus or ligaments is caused, it will be irreversible damage to the athletes. This kind of training pays more attention to a long-term persistence.Ke Yan also prepared a standard training plan for Anderson.The strengthening of defensive skills requires watching videos and training at the same time. Ke Yan has made video clips of Garnett, Duncan, and Ben Wallace on the defensive end, accompanied by text interpretations. in the file bag.

Anderson's eyes lit up when he saw the file bag, maybe it said "If you want to practice this skill, draw a knife from the palace", Anderson would cut it without hesitation.However, Ke Yan suddenly took back the file bag.

"Want it?" Ke Yan looked at Anderson and asked.

"Of course!"

"Arrange a mission for you..."

This guy, Brian Shaw, didn't show up in the training hall today, and he is probably trying to figure out how to solve the problem of the bet right now.Ke Yan also knew that the other party couldn't really eat all these dozens of basketballs, but he also planned to punish the other party a little bit?

"So, who are you trying to trick?" Hearing words like "mustard" and "cake", Anderson immediately understood who Ke Yan was trying to trick, and his eyes lit up.

This is much more exciting than stuffing popcorn in someone else's car!

"I can assure you that the plan here can help you, and you're not willing to do that?" Ke Yan shook the file bag, convinced Anderson.

"Kimi. It costs money to order a cake!" The real problem is that Anderson, who earns an annual salary of $100 million, is cash-strapped, so he blushes and asks for funds from Ke Yan, who earns an annual salary of $50.

"Someone will pay for it! Don't worry!" Throwing the file bag to Anderson, Ke Yan turned and left the office.
