Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 114 Want to use someone else's resources to make money? Did you pay them?

Wang Chongguang was also reading the first one.

"What does it mean to do too much aerobic exercise? What's the logic behind that?" He frowned, not understanding.

The basketball philosophy he embraced was to do more aerobic exercise and build endurance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to run.

That's how Chinese basketball used to be.

If you're not as tall or strong as them, you need to run more and run faster.

How can you do without aerobic exercise and running?

Li Qiuping remained silent; he couldn't understand it either.

In his view, aerobic training is very necessary, even crucial.

Because it involves physical strength.

Therefore, he would schedule one or two training sessions every week, focusing on long-distance running to improve the players' cardiovascular fitness.

But when it came to Tang Sen, it became a problem?

The key issue is that you don't even explain where the problem lies. You just say that the proportion of anaerobic exercise should be increased, and that the overall ratio should be 3:7, with anaerobic exercise accounting for 70%.

I won't go into why.

Then Li Qiuping might ask, "How do I know if what you're saying is right or wrong?"

What if something goes wrong?

He then looked at the second one.

The second point is even stranger, saying that the training intensity of the Eastern team is too high, which is not conducive to maintaining physical fitness during the season.

Li Qiuping was even more confused.

He discovered last season that when he was not in good form, increasing the intensity of his play could help him maintain a better performance.

I plan to continue this season, and even write a thesis.

But when it came to Tang Sen, it became a problem again.

The following is similar, without specific explanation, simply stating that the Jia-A League schedule is relatively not dense, and simply increasing intensity does not conform to the changing cycle of physical fitness.

But you don't explain what a cycle is.

This leads to the third question.

The first part says the strength is too high, and the second part says it has strength but isn't being used in the right way.

While the training may seem to be intense and demanding, it is mostly mechanical repetition and inefficient.

Then, as usual, they only raised questions without explaining where the problems lay.

It feels like when Tang Sen was writing this plan, he thought these issues didn't need explanation at all, that everyone knew them.

But Li Qiuping wanted to say, "I don't know!"

The problems below are becoming increasingly numerous.

[Overemphasis on physical training, insufficient proportion of technical training]

[Insufficient proportion of competitive exercises in technical training]

Too few real-world drills

[Insufficient attention to detail; coach's observational guidance; problems not being identified and addressed promptly]

Turning to the second page, thankfully the focus shifted away from discussing training issues and began pointing out Yao Ming's own shortcomings.

This is much more detailed.

It's said that Yao Ming's ball control is insufficient and his finger strength is lacking, requiring improvement.

It is said that Yao Ming has a serious lack of upper body strength and his body dimensions need to be adjusted.

The lateral movement speed is slow.

Poor spring speed and insufficient explosive power in the legs.

They even pointed out technical problems, such as placing the ball too low during attacks.

Upon seeing this, Li Qiuping was genuinely taken aback.

To be honest, he didn't even notice the problem of the ball being placed too low.

But looking back at Yao Ming's games, it seems that this problem really existed.

He didn't have time to look any further and hurriedly flipped through the pages.

Starting from page four, there is a training plan.

The three of them huddled together and carefully examined each page.

The more they looked, the more their brows furrowed.

Because this training plan is too absurd.

"No, what about physical training, strength training, and technique training? Aren't you going to do any of that?"

Wang Qun exclaimed in surprise.

Li Qiuping didn't speak; he wanted to ask the same question too.

The 13-page training plan was divided by Tang Sen into basic training and advanced training.

Basic training should be conducted at least once a day, with each session lasting two hours.

This part accounts for as much as 60% of the entire plan.

What Li Qiuping found most incomprehensible was that this part of the basic training consisted entirely of static exercises focused on flexibility and coordination.

Other aspects of training were interspersed throughout the weekly training sessions, according to the league schedule.

The proportion is very low.

For example, physical training, the monthly training plan only arranged four sessions, once a week.

The remaining strength and technical training was slightly more extensive, but in the eyes of the three, it was still pitifully little.

Wang Zhongguang frowned and said, "He said our training intensity is high, but it can't be this low."

If Tang Sen's plan is followed.

So, if it's just a game day with basic training, Yao Ming's training would consist of spending two hours in the morning doing some forward and backward bends, stretching ligaments, and static training of multiple joints throughout his body.

I'm afraid they won't even break a sweat after this training session.

“With this level of training intensity, I’m worried he’ll drop out of form,” Wang Qiang echoed.

At this intensity, it's practically slacking off, it's just being lazy.

Li Qiuping couldn't help but think the same way.

This training intensity is far too low.

Furthermore, it's unclear what Tang Sen was thinking, why he focused on flexibility training.

And since you've pointed out so many problems, why not practice them specifically?

Things like burst speed, lateral movement speed, and other technical issues—you should improve those.

As a result, so much space was spent designing so many complex flexibility training movements.

If this were a gymnastics team's training plan, Li Qiuping would definitely give it a thumbs up.

Not really.

Besides, Yao Ming is already so old, over twenty years old. Can he really train his flexibility and coordination?
"Headache!"

Li Qiuping scratched his head vigorously.

He was still thinking that he had wronged Tang Sen. Tang Sen hadn't slacked off for three days and was quite professional, discovering so many problems in one go.

Then they gave me such a detailed training plan, which I can refer to and use to train other players.

Who knew it would be such a training plan?

How can I refer to this training plan?
If other players trained like this, they would definitely ruin their careers.

"There's also a CD, let's see what it is?" Wang Qun asked again.

With that, he picked up the CD and strode towards his office.

There is a television and a DVD player in the office.

Put it into playback.

Tang Sen immediately appeared on the TV. It was recorded by a video camera, probably in the hotel gym.

In the video, Tang Sen gets straight to the point, introducing methods to improve ball control.

Dribble a ball against a wall for five minutes without dropping it.

Then, some technical demonstrations and explanations were given, addressing the issues raised at the beginning of the plan.

The following section showcases some less common flexibility exercises.

It wasn't long, only about half an hour.

"No?"

Wang Qiang finished reading it quickly, looking completely bewildered.

This was merely a supplement to the training plan and had no reference value for them whatsoever.

Wang Zhongguang frowned, then thought of a crucial question and said, "Qiuping, the problem now is, what about our team's daily training?"

This training plan is strange.

The question that follows is: if Yao Ming strictly follows this training plan, will the team still be able to train?

Upon hearing this, Li Qiuping also suddenly realized the same thing.

If Tang Sen's training plan is excellent, covering all aspects, and better than the training plan I arranged myself.

That way, not only Yao Ming can strictly follow the instructions and practice accordingly, but others can also follow suit.

The problem is that this training plan is extremely strange, and Li Qiuping doesn't even know if it's right or wrong.

He instinctively felt that following this plan would not only fail to improve his skill level, but would also cause him to lose his form.

If you don't train your physical fitness, strength, and technique—the most important things—it's no wonder your skill level will decline.

"What are you thinking?" Li Qiuping threw the question back at him.

Wang Chongguang remained silent.

Wang Qiang replied without hesitation, "That's definitely not going to work. At least his physical fitness and strength training can't be neglected. We can just let him train alone after his regular training session. Anyway, it's not very intense."

Li Qiuping also had this idea.

He also felt that Tang Sen's training program was too low in intensity.

To put it simply, it's like doing yoga.

What's the difference between that and just warming up and stretching your legs in the morning? Can that really be called training?
Scratching his head in frustration, Li Qiuping said, "Why don't we talk to Yao Ming and have him contact this Tang Sen to see what's going on? Let's discuss it together."

He went outside.

Yao Ming had just finished reading a letter that Tang Sen had written to him.

In the file folder, besides the training plan and CD, there was also a letter, addressed to himself.

At this point, Li Qiuping raised his own questions and thoughts.

Duffy immediately said, "That won't do. I went to great lengths to get Tang here. He's the most professional. Yao must strictly follow his training plan."

Wang Qiang retorted, "Yao Ming is still a player on our team. How he trains is up to us."

"No, no, no," Duffy quickly shook his finger.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Li Qiuping quickly stopped them, looked at Yao Ming, and asked, "Yao Ming, what do you think?"

Yao Ming clutched the letter, head down, lost in thought.

"Speak your mind freely, and we can discuss it together," Li Qiuping said again.

Yao Ming then spoke up, saying, "Coach, I want to follow Mr. Tang's training plan."

Li Qiuping immediately frowned.

Wang Qiang chimed in, "Yao Ming, do you know what kind of training plan he's prepared for you? If you follow it, he'll definitely ruin you."

That intensity was like playing around.

Yao Ming's tone became more resolute: "I know, but I still want to follow Mr. Tang's plan. As for my performance on the court, don't worry, I won't get worse, and I will definitely help the team win the championship this year."

For the first time, he looked at his mentor with a somewhat stubborn gaze.

Li Qiuping noticed the letter in Yao Ming's hand.

He felt that Yao Ming seemed to have changed.

Or rather, things changed after the end of last season.

After the last season ended, he wanted to enter the draft, but his team blocked him.

At that time, this child, who used to be very obedient, became somewhat disobedient.

"Yao Ming, go back and think about it again. We'll talk again tomorrow," Li Qiuping said, using stalling tactics.

Yao Ming nodded, took back the training plan and CD, and went back to his dormitory.

The dormitory is empty.

Yao Ming then opened the letter again and read it aloud.

This is what Tang Sen said in the letter.

If Yao Ming's future goal is to become the king of the Chinese Super League, then this training plan can be thrown in the trash.

Because Yao Ming doesn't need it at all.

Given the intensity of the Jia-A League, Yao Ming was already at the top level. He didn't need to put in much effort to easily dominate the entire league.

But if Yao Ming's goal is to be drafted next summer and enter the NBA, then he shouldn't worry about the league anymore.

Tang Sen stated directly that with Yao Ming's current skills and level, he could dominate the entire league even without training.

Therefore, it would be better to devote all your energy to preparing for next year's draft six months in advance.

That's why Tang Sen developed this training plan, which focuses on flexibility and coordination and leans towards a basic level.

Explosiveness, lateral speed, and post moves—none of that needs to be practiced now.

I can practice on my own when I go to the US next summer.

Yao Ming felt that Tang Sen's words resonated with him.

He now truly feels that the level of the Chinese Jia-A League is too low.

If you're willing, you can easily get 30 or 40 points.

More is fine.

Yao Ming also felt that the team's training sessions didn't significantly improve his performance.

The opponent was too weak; it felt like practicing was pointless.

However, the team still scheduled a lot of training every day, which really bothered Yao Ming.

Later in the letter, Tang Sen mentioned that he had heard about Yao Ming's situation from Duffy and anticipated that if he chose to implement his own training plan, he would definitely face opposition from the team.

Therefore, we hope Yao Ming can take a tougher stance.

Tang Sen also gave an example, saying that in the NBA, superstars like Shaquille O'Neal have special privileges in their teams, such as not having to train.

The team won't say anything; as long as you perform well on the field, that's fine.

Finally, Tang Sen also presented Yao Ming with a poem.

"Clinging firmly to the green hills, its roots firmly planted in the broken rocks."

Hopefully, Yao Ming will set his sights on his goals and work his hardest to achieve them.

Yao Ming put down the letter, folded it along with the appendix, took a deep breath, and clenched his fist.

Anyway, I'm determined to go to the NBA.

If the team disagrees, then let's make a scene.

At worst, if they won't let me go, I'll just retire on the spot!
……

Meanwhile, Tang Sen was already preparing to board the plane.

I also received a call from Duffy.

He jokingly said that Li Qiuping was very unhappy and looked disappointed.

"Disappointment is justified!"

Don't think Tang Sen doesn't know what Li Qiuping is thinking.

You want to use this opportunity to make money? Did you pay for it?
