Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 10 Hook

Chapter 10 Hook
"I went to the bathroom this morning."

Brown rolled his eyes and took the initiative to find a reason to explain for Tang Sen.

Although he was exhausted during yesterday's training, Brown did not bear a grudge against Tangsen. Instead, he respected Tangsen even more.

Despite such a large amount of training, Tang Sen actually accompanied me throughout the whole process.

He knew very well that Tang Sen didn't have to do this.

But Tang Sen followed suit and practiced.

Obviously, it was to encourage himself and prove that if he could complete these trainings, then he could do it too.

"It has nothing to do with this." Tang Sen waved his hand calmly.

This is just the beginning. It is normal to have weight fluctuations due to the sudden increase in training volume.

How much did Brown sweat?

"Come on, warm up."

Tang Sen didn't waste any time and took Brown to warm up.

After warming up, Donson took Brown to the basket and threw him a black basketball.

"Hey, this ball?"

As soon as Brown caught the ball, he felt something was wrong.

The black basketball in his hand is obviously heavier than a normal basketball.

"This is a weighted basketball," Tangsen explained.

In recent years, some people have begun to use this weighted basketball for training, with the main purpose of increasing the load when practicing ball control.

You have to know that NBA players have very strong dribbling power.

Once you get used to the weighted basketball, your dribbling power will definitely improve significantly when you use a normal weight basketball.

However, this thing cannot be used all the time. Long-term use will destroy muscle memory and have bad consequences.

The correct approach is to use it in a certain proportion, treat it as a way to increase the load, and slowly build up your strength.

And Donson didn't bring this kind of ball to Brown to practice ball control.

His need for ball control is not that urgent right now.

Tang Sen wants to train his hook shot.

In the simulation space, not only can Brown's physical condition be replicated, but also his game.

For example, the few balls he and Brown had played before were all recorded by the system.

Tang Sen can replay the video in all directions and without any blind spots in the simulated space.

You can even observe the strength of his muscles during playback, find out the reason for the lack of strength, and then conduct targeted training.

During their previous encounters, Tang Sen discovered many problems with Brown.

First of all, the technology is terrible.

He doesn't have many skills, and like most high school geniuses, he relies more on his body to play.

This is a common phenomenon.

The level of competition in high schools is low, and many geniuses can crush their opponents with their physical talents, and rarely spend a lot of effort to practice their skills.

It was only when I entered university that I began to settle down and slowly hone my skills.

So, as Donovan suggested, Brown really should go to college for two years.

Then there is the lack of core strength.

Brown is strong and can run and jump, but Tangsen can feel that he is not exerting enough strength.

The best proof is the dunk when we first met, which gave people the feeling that he didn’t jump enough and needed to reach out.

In the past two days, Tang Sen also found a lot of Brown's game videos.

It can be seen that his lower body strength is sufficient and he can seize the position in the inside confrontation.

But it's not stable enough when shooting.

This is not just a problem of his small hands. Ultimately, it is because of his lack of core strength and insufficient control of the ball under physical confrontation.

So Tang Sen’s training plan is very clear.

For this part of the body, we focused on core strength, so a lot of training yesterday was focused on the waist and back.

Then there's technology.

The time left for Tang Sen was too short, only one month.

It is unrealistic to improve your skills comprehensively, so it is better to concentrate on practicing one skill.

That is, a half hook shot after a confrontation under the basket.

If he can master this skill, it will definitely be a plus in the tryouts, and it will also allow him to have a skill that will help him gain a foothold in the NBA.

Logically speaking, Brown, who has relatively small hands and not very flexible wrists, can practice a big hook shot like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to use the power of his arm swing.

But technology is changing and the rules are changing.

Nowadays, the call for using the lowered shoulder during back-to-the-basket shots has long been cancelled. Players like O'Neal can easily push away defenders to gain shooting space. There is really no need to choose this long hook shot with a long range.

The best option is a half hook shot that is more stealthy and can draw fouls.

But the half hook shot requires touch and wrist strength, so Townsend used a weighted basketball to improve Brown's wrist strength.

"let's start."

Tang Sen set up three tall obstacles on the left and right sides of the basket, as well as in front, and asked Brown to practice hook shots in front of the obstacles.

There are 5 balls at one point, three points make up a round, and a group does 5 rounds.

"This ball is really heavy."

Brown, playing with a weighted basketball, missed his first shot.

He immediately adjusted the strength. The distance was enough, but the accuracy was lacking and the ball hit the frame directly.

Tang Sen didn't let him start practicing from a stationary hook shot.

He's just not good at it, not incapable of it.

"You have to pay attention to the rhythm, and after raising your arms and jumping up, you can pause slightly in the air and aim. The movement must be well combined with the strength of the body." Tang Sen took the ball and stepped forward to demonstrate.

Badges are more lenient in judging technical training.

It doesn't mean that if Brown practices a hundred shots, then Donson must also shoot a hundred shots.

Pointing out problems, demonstrating, and making adjustments are all examples of leading by example.

Brown took note of it, but he still couldn't practice it.

His comprehension ability is really not very good.

This is innate, there is nothing you can do about it, you can only practice hard and make up for it with diligence.

Fortunately, I have the bonus of the badge, so I don’t have to worry about not getting any results from my training.

The training time passed quickly.

Although today's training was definitely easier than yesterday, Brown was still very tired after three training sessions in one day. One of his arms was so sore that he couldn't lift it.

The masseur has not arrived yet, so Tang Sen has to take over as a guest.

The next day, it was back to strength training.

This is the most important thing.

Through the system, Tang Sen clearly saw that after a day of rest, Brown's body turned yellow and most of the damaged muscles had recovered to green.

This recovery speed was somewhat beyond Tang Sen's expectations.

I think it should be the badge's bonus that comes into play. After all, it is a high-level badge, and a 30% bonus is equivalent to the title of a third-level trainer.

In this way, Tang Sen can proceed with his training plan with confidence.

Soon, half a month passed.

Early that morning, without anyone reminding him, Brown had already stepped onto the electronic scale.

"Look, Ryan, I've gained a whole pound."

Brown shouted excitedly.

The scale read 248.2 pounds.

Exactly one full pound heavier than yesterday.

Connors came over to take a look, then said, "Don't get excited yet. We're mainly looking at the long-term effects. Short-term weight fluctuations are normal."

Brown raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "Ryan, why do I feel that your tone of voice is exactly the same as Tang's?"

"Have it?"

Connors was slightly stunned and turned to look at Moore next to him.

Moore nodded.

Not only are they exactly the same, they seem to be Tang Sen's original words.

Connors said somewhat embarrassedly: "That only proves that Tang is right."

Over the past half month, Connors' attitude towards Tang Sen has completely changed.

He had never seen such a responsible trainer.

Most importantly, the training works.

Brown has been steadily gaining weight, and his athletic ability remains as good as ever.

So as we get to know each other more, sometimes I can't help but say a few words from Tang Sen.

"By the way, why hasn't Tang come yet?" Connors asked curiously.
