Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 116 It's our good fortune to be able to train with him.
When Tang Sen returned, it goes without saying that Maddie Brown and the others were overjoyed, but there was one person who was even happier than them.

"Honestly, when you're not around, I'm really afraid I'll ruin my own reputation."

On the plane, everyone had already fallen asleep. Guo Yonglin sat next to Tang Sen and said in a low voice.

"Seriously, I'm not kidding you. I've been feeling really uneasy while you're not around. These guys are all millionaires, you know. The other day, after Patrick finished his massage, he said he didn't feel so good. He probably just said it casually, but I was really nervous."

Guo Yonglin said, a wave of fear washing over him.

This job was lucrative and easy, so comfortable that he became a little complacent.

But after Tang Sen left, Guo Yonglin realized that he really couldn't do without Tang Sen.

"Old Tang, aren't we inseparable, like two swords working together? So next time you go somewhere, take me with you." Guo Yonglin looked at Tang Sen expectantly.

Tang Sen chuckled to himself.

This guy's been growing flowers and rediscovering some lost hobby, he seems to be getting carried away. Now he knows how hard it is to make money, huh?

"Then you'd better put in some effort from now on, like when you're teaching me about the mind, at least be serious about it."

Tang Sen didn't pay much attention and opened his laptop to watch the Magic vs. Warriors game.

Tang Sen was very curious about what method Dave Cowens had used to make Brown struggle so much.

Guo Yonglin hurriedly raised his hand: "I swear to God, I really taught you very seriously."

Tang Sen glared at him, as if to say I have no talent.

He waved his hand, telling him to go to sleep early and not disturb him, then put on his headphones and started watching the game.

The Warriors' interior lineup is just average.

Center Eric Dampier, in his second season as a professional, averaged 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, making him a promising young center.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and suffered an injury.

The biggest impact of the two seasons of injuries was that he missed his prime development period, his inside offense became a mess, and he began to develop into a pure blue-collar center.

He has average athleticism, but he is heavy, strong, and good at defensive play.

So he still benefited from O'Neal's influence and landed a big contract with the Warriors.

However, Tang Sen felt that Brown should not be too difficult to deal with such an opponent.

However, in this game, Brown only managed 11 points and 12 rebounds on 5-of-13 shooting, a significant drop in his offensive performance.

Tang Sen is watching the video, focusing on the details.

Fast forward, slow down, watch repeatedly, and you'll quickly spot the problem.

First of all, Brown himself has problems.

He seems to have too much faith in his jump shot, which he hasn't even mastered yet.

So when Dampier intentionally pushed him further away, he himself, because of his superstitious belief in shooting, didn't go into deeper positions too much.

And this is just the first step in the Warriors' defensive strategy.

Dampier was very tight on Brown and interfered a lot with his shots. Throughout the game, Brown took several jump shots, and Tang Sen didn't count them all, but he remembers that Brown made one.

It's clear that Brown made a deliberate change; he tried to fake a shot before using his dribbling skills to attack the basket.

At this moment, another key player emerged.

Danny Fordson.

He's a short, stocky center, but a great rebounder.

Cowens had clearly made arrangements, setting up a zone defense. If Brown drove to the basket, Fordson would immediately rush over to help defend.

Just like when he goes for the rebound.

Dampier turned around again, surrounding Brown from both sides, and it was no surprise that Brown performed poorly.

Tang Sen closed his laptop.

Peace of mind.

I thought Brown had some technical problem and was being targeted.

It seems there isn't a big problem now.

The problem is that my shooting technique isn't good enough yet, and the opponent has made some targeted adjustments.

It has to be said, this is the NBA. As soon as you pull out a few skills, your opponents start studying you in a targeted way.

But this is also a good thing. If you're not a star athlete, who would bother to study you?

So a poor performance in one game isn't a big problem; we can just continue training as usual.

Their final opponent in the six-game road trip is the Supersonics.

I played against them at the start of the season.

Brown had a breakout game, scoring 35 points and grabbing 9 rebounds, because he ran into Calvin Booth, the white center who was best at exploiting his weaknesses.

Unfortunately, Booth sprained his ankle and had to go home to recover.

In this game, McMillan was forced to move Vin Baker to the center position.

If it were Vin Baker from a few years ago, his tough playing style would have been fine, but now, his greasy body can no longer support his dazzling offense. He was overshadowed by the aggressive younger player Brown, and in the second half, he could only float outside and shoot for a while.

Brown and McGrady combined for 59 points, bringing a victory to end their six-game road trip.

After returning to Orlando, Tangsen also rested for a day.

I'll use this day to move my house.

Staying at Brown's place all the time isn't a good idea.

Tang Sen felt that spending too much time together was not conducive to his growth.

He will eventually have to be independent.

Moreover, one of his older brothers is about to be released from prison, and there might not be enough rooms available then.

Guo Yonglin also moved.

This guy has come to realize that only by following Tang Sen can he get what he wants.

He also frequently keeps an eye on Orlando's housing prices and education, planning to earn enough money to buy a house and bring his family to Orlando.

"Old Tang, your house is nice."

Guo Yonglin carried his suitcase and looked around Tang Sen's house.

It's a typical American middle-class neighborhood with a large lawn and a swimming pool in the back.

The building is old and a bit dilapidated.

Guo Yonglin toured each room with great interest, asking himself where he would stay.

"Sir, are you really moving out?" Brown asked, looking reluctant after helping to move the things.

He thought it would be better for his brother to move out.

Tang Sen also had his belongings from Detona Beach packed up and sent over. At this moment, he opened a box and saw the graduation certificates that he had specially ordered.

Thinking about it carefully, it's only been a little over half a year.

It feels like a dream.

"Alright, don't forget to be at the gym at five o'clock tomorrow morning." Tang Sen waved his hand, dismissing Brown and the others.

Tangsen seriously considered Troy Hudson's suggestion.

I think it's feasible.

Whether you're herding one sheep or a flock of sheep, it's still the same thing.

It's just a morning training session, anyway, I was going to train with Brown and the others anyway.

But it can bring in a lot more income.

Tang Sen considered it and decided to lower the price appropriately, since it was just one training session, to $30,000 a month.

If five people remain in the end, they can earn an extra 150,000 yuan per month.

We're one step closer to buying our big villa in Windermere.

Furthermore, Tang Sen had another idea: to reopen his LYD training camp.

All of this costs money.

The next day, Tang Sen got up early and took Guo Yonglin to the Water House Center.

We've already made arrangements over there, so we can go anytime.

Guo Yonglin took a nap as soon as he got on the bus, while Tang Sen was full of energy and quietly planning how to use the badge.

The effect of the "Truth" badge on McGrady has disappeared.

It's probably because the Magic have been doing well lately, and his own skill level has improved, that he feels he has a chance to surpass Carter, and his mindset has changed.

So Tang Sen really felt that this badge was difficult to use and hard to find that exciting point.

After some deliberation, Tang Sen decided to give the [Leader] effect to Brown, and the [Role Model] effect to McGrady.

Brown has passed the initial development stage; now it's time to settle down and slowly refine his skills.

But McGrady was different. Before that, he relied entirely on his talent to play basketball, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Tangsen himself is a former defender, so he's more familiar with the role.

Furthermore, Tang Sen believes that if the Magic want to make a breakthrough this season, they still need to rely on McGrady.

Brown only determined the Magic's floor; the ceiling depends on McGrady. In that case, McGrady essentially has three gold-level effects, so the training effect is self-evident.

The car arrived at the stadium quickly.

To Tang Sen's surprise, apart from Yad Buchler, the entire Magic team had come.

After greeting everyone, Tang Sen sighed silently; this was going to exhaust him.

They said it was just for physical exercise.

But since they've already spent money, Tang Sen can't just slack off. He has to develop a training plan based on the situation and put in the effort to simulate it.

Fourteen people, that's a huge undertaking.

Therefore, it must be reduced.

Seven or eight players would be more like it; I can keep up with their energy, and they are also the team's main rotation players.

Tang Sen really couldn't care less about the players left watching the water cooler.

However, these two days are just trial classes, so it doesn't matter.

After everyone changed into their jerseys and arrived on the field, it was exactly two minutes to five.

The badge is active.

That would guarantee the effectiveness of the training session.

"Come on, warm up."

Tang Sen led everyone in warming up.

Take Brown and Ewing's ready-made warm-up plan.

It took quite a while, almost twenty minutes, with various training exercises to warm up thoroughly.

At the back of the crowd, rookies Steven Hunter and Jeremy Suther were huddled together.

“It feels different,” Hunter said in a low voice.

Townsend's warm-up routines are more numerous and complex, and the inside and outside players have separate warm-up routines.

Sather nodded slightly; he felt the same way.

Warming up may seem basic, but it's extremely important.

A proper warm-up will make you feel your body heat up and your heart rate rise, like a race car revving up the gas pedal a few times before a race, with the car idling at high speed, ready to sprint.

Moreover, if you warm up properly, your joints will loosen up and your muscle groups will relax, and the feeling of being restricted and sluggish without warming up will completely disappear.

Most importantly, you feel your body is in better shape, but you don't feel tired.

It's not easy to strike the right balance.

As the head trainer, Ted Alzonico also emphasizes the importance of a thorough warm-up.

Before each training session, he would spend a considerable amount of time having everyone warm up.

The effect is quite good.

But the comparison was daunting. After the same warm-up, Sather clearly felt that Tangsen was more precise in controlling the intensity.

The skill lies in the details!

Even though it was just a warm-up, Sasser could already sense Tangsen's professionalism.

"Steven, have you decided to train with him?" Sasser asked in a low voice.

His annual salary is only 90, he really can't afford Tang Sen.

The problem is that players like them can't even get playing time, so training is useless for them.

Especially Hunter, who is at the center position, there are three players ahead of him, so how could he possibly get a chance?

A first-round pick? What a waste!

“Of course,” Hunter replied without hesitation.

He was so envious of Brown's growth that he even felt that if he trained with Tangsen, he might perform even better than Brown.

As America Today has said, Brown was just lucky to have a top-notch trainer.

So he also wants to improve, even if it means spending all his salary.

Seeing that Sather was still hesitating, Hunter persuaded him, "Jeryl, believe me, your current efforts are worthwhile. It's our good fortune to have the opportunity to train with Don."

It seems like a significant investment now, almost like spending all of your salary, but once you've mastered the skills and land a big contract in the future, this investment will be nothing at all.

Sather pursed his lips and remained silent.

He still couldn't bear to part with it.

And is Tang Sen's training really that good?

After warming up, training officially begins.

Tang Sen was directly categorized into two groups.

For interior players, directly refer to Ewing's training plan.

For outside shooting, refer to McGrady's approach and increase the frequency.

Inside players emphasize physical confrontation and need to train strength and explosive power.

Outside players also need to train for explosive power, but there is a lot more coordination involved. The focus of core strength training is completely different.

Since it was a trial class, Tang Sen decided to focus on physical training.

While keeping an eye on the others, he also coached McGrady.

He has a spinal problem, so his training volume is different from others.

McGrady was very focused during practice.

He rediscovered that familiar feeling—a feeling of exhilaration. With each training session, he could keenly sense changes in his body, and these changes were for the better.

It was this feeling that made him fall in love with training.

Because there has been a continuous stream of gains.

And this sense of accomplishment is truly irresistible.

With more people, there's another advantage: the experience points for titles increase rapidly.

This is also a key reason why Tangsen accepted Hudson's proposal.

Titles are the most basic bonus, and their effects only become stronger as you level up.

The entire training session lasted nearly three hours.

Coaching 14 players in one go left Tang Sen exhausted.

Because everyone's physical condition is different, Tang Sen would conduct quick simulations throughout the day during training breaks to understand how well they could accept the training plan.

Therefore, veterans like Monty Williams should appropriately reduce their training volume and end their training sessions earlier.

Younger people need to take more.

Ultimately, we must strive to help everyone achieve supercompensation.

"Andrew."

Pat Garretti lay on the floor and turned to De Klerk, saying, "I think I understand what you mean by that feeling."

De Klerk had often told him about the benefits of training with Townsend for a month before the season started.

He described a feeling.

It means that after training, your body is in a strange state, and your brain tells you that your body is very tired and you should rest.

However, your body doesn't feel like it's overtrained or exhausted.

It's like taking a sauna, thoroughly soaking your body until all your muscles are relaxed and you're completely exhausted, but you only feel refreshed, not so tired that you can fall asleep as soon as you close your eyes.

In short, it was awesome.

De Klerk turned his head and said, "I told you, Don is very powerful."

Garriti nodded in deep agreement, having already made his decision.

It's a contract year, so we have to give it our all this year and get that big contract first.

Not far away, Hunter was also lying on the ground, panting heavily.

After this training experience, he was certain that America Today was not lying; Brown's success was more due to Townsend's efforts.

At that moment, he even felt a little regretful.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so reserved before. I should have told Tang Sen earlier and asked him to train me.

Just then, Sather walked over.

He was also panting, but just right, feeling refreshed. He squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Steven, could you lend me some money? I used my salary to buy a car, and my credit cards are maxed out."

Hunter paused for a moment.

Americans generally don't borrow money from friends.

Sather stammered, "I think you're right. This is a rare opportunity for us, and I have to seize it."

After saying that, he remembered what he had said earlier and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
