The cruelty of society, the status of yellow people in the European and American world, and martial arts can be truly experienced after entering the training camp.
Today's Asia is still synonymous with "backwardness" and "sports desert". In fact, the vast majority of scouts have doubts about the talent and potential of martial arts.
It's just that ESPN is essentially a media and needs to maintain the "fair" face of its media personnel. Although it will still have its own subjective color when ranking players, it will not deviate too much in this regard.
Putting Budo, the player who led Oak Hill High School to the highest record in school history, at the top of the list is already the result of looking at people through colored glasses.
The scouts at the ABCD training camp did not hide their disdain for yellow players at all. They let Wu Dao join the camp for the sake of Coach K and the name Oak Hill.
If they were allowed to make their own choices, they would not even send an invitation letter to a yellow player like Wu Dao at all.
What, martial arts averaged 40+ per game in the high school state competition?
So when scouts use terms like "accidental" and "overdrawn talent," how should coaches respond?
In fact, the number of coaches in the training camp is limited, and the number of players who can personally inspect is also limited. Because of this, there will be trial training and a recommendation mechanism.
Although the martial arts ranking was very low when he entered the camp, as the martial arts showed off his strength and talent, as long as the coaches in the training camp were not blind, they could always see the shining martial arts.
It doesn't even matter if the coaches and assistants at the ABCD training camp are blind.
The training camp is open to the public, and media, college scouts, and league scouts come to observe the training every day. As long as the players are good enough, there is no need to worry about insufficient exposure.
And at this time, Wu Dao's skin color made him the most conspicuous person in the training camp.
Among the black and white players, a yellow player suddenly appeared. How could the media, which already relies on "popularity", let go of paying attention to martial arts?
The training content of Group C in the previous week was a lot of physical training. Of course, the physical training method was obviously not the most familiar and stupid "running circle" in martial arts.
The training content is very comprehensive, including defensive footwork practice, basic dribbling skills practice, and shooting practice. You heard it right, these are the contents of physical training.
On the basis of strengthening the players' basic skills, they can hone their physical fitness to the greatest extent. This is the training method in the training camp.
High-intensity basic skills training consumes physical energy much faster than running laps.
Of course, this is not the first time he has come across this kind of training method in martial arts. In fact, when he was training himself and at Oak Mountain, the training methods were similar to the training methods in the training camp.
In addition to the much larger amount of training, the training camp did not give martial arts a "renewed" feeling.
It’s better to change the soup than the medicine.
However, this idea of martial arts completely changed after the first week of training.
The training content of the second week is very different from the first week.
The second week is about sports performance training. In addition to someone formulating recipes for the players, the players' training is also spread out in twos and threes.
The training camp does not have the ability to provide each player with a dedicated trainer and nutritionist, but it can still be done to provide rough classification training for the players according to their body shape.
Sports performance training covers strength training and explosive strength training. At the same time, coaches also give corresponding muscle-building suggestions for some players who are too thin.
Although I don’t know whether the coaches who give muscle-building advice are reliable, but generally speaking, the results are always better than those of some "Ye Guchan" who practice blindly on their own.
One of the most impressive training methods in martial arts is "crawling".
Under the instructions of the coach, martial arts also conduct crawling training in addition to training.
You heard it right, it’s the kind of crawling with your hands on the ground!
It’s not that coaches use martial arts for fun. The crawling posture can mobilize the core muscles of the players to the greatest extent. At the same time, it can move the player’s spine during the crawling process. For those players who go astray in training and are hunched over, this kind of posture There are many benefits to training methods.
While exercising core strength, it can also play a role in assisting correction.
After exercising in this way, martial arts can indeed feel refreshed.
After gaining an in-depth understanding of this training method, I even considered whether to return to China and find a "open dragon bone" master to learn martial arts seriously.
This kind of training method arranged by the coaches has indeed benefited martial arts a lot.
At the same time, in view of Wu Dao's current body shape, the coaches also suggested that Wu Dao gain muscle as appropriate. Members of the coaching staff carefully observed Wu Dao's sports performance during this period and found that Wu Dao is not only fast and powerful, but also has excellent explosive power. .
Judging from the current weight of a yellow man like Wu Dao, his ability to achieve such athletic performance shocked the coaches. At the same time, they also felt that Wu Dao still had the potential to lose weight.
For a player, building muscle is an excellent way to strengthen his dominance while maintaining speed and flexibility.
Note, we are talking about muscle gain here, not blind weight gain.
Building muscle and gaining weight are two completely different concepts.
Muscle is muscle, and weight gain may be fat.
A person's weight may increase by more than ten kilograms in a month, but muscles, even if it takes a year, may only increase by 2-4 kilograms.
Muscle gain is often accompanied by weight gain, but the concept is completely different.
Of course, considering that Wu Da is now only a sophomore in high school, and that yellow people generally have a longer and slower development cycle than blacks and whites, the coaching staff's muscle-building suggestions for Wu Da are also very conservative.
In terms of diet, Martial Arts' habits are already very healthy, and the coaching staff only suggested that Martial Arts maintain the status quo while increasing their beef intake by 10%.
The biggest enemies of athletes are injuries and self-discipline.
Self-discipline here refers not only to training, but also to diet.
The coaches have given dietary guidance to every player, but there are very few who can actually strictly implement it. This is also easy to understand. The people participating in the training camp are all talented high school students. With the experience they have grown up along the way, these high school students have also achieved some results in basketball.
In their view, they only need to follow the steps step by step, and they can still become top players without suffering the pain of "self-discipline".
Therefore, there are not many players who really take the coaching staff's words to heart.
It's not that the players are lazy and can't bear hardships, they just don't pay attention to the impact of diet on the players. In normal training, the players participating in the training camp are getting better and better!
Wu Dao listened to what the coaches said. If possible, Wu Dao even planned to hire a famous nutritionist and a professional physical coach to guide him.
If you are in Asia, you can't find such a person even if you want to. However, in the United States, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still find such people.
Speaking of this, I have to mention a certain Polish center. When he tried out for a Houston team, the team wanted him to continue training in the CBA. While they were optimistic about the opponent's talent, they also sent their "royal" trainer Jimmy. I hope to help the Polish center continue to grow and maintain a good physical condition while playing domestically.
And guess what?
The trainer's final evaluation of our players was - lack of self-discipline.
It doesn't just refer to a certain Polish center, but the map cannon, which refers to all players in general!
So, sometimes when a team loses, fans can't just stare at the coach or the chairman of some non-governmental organization that they can't even touch. They also need to look at the problems of the players themselves.
The blame for the bad food is the environment and the system. The environment and the system cannot bear the blame.
Some people really don't have this condition. How could Yao, Yi and even earlier players have any physical coaches or dietary guidance when they were growing up?
However, some players clearly have excellent conditions but do not take advantage of them at all.
It’s true that you can reach a higher level by relying on talent, but do you want to reach the top by relying on talent? Do you think you are the only genius in the world?
Jordan has played in the NBA for 15 years, but he has not won 15 championship rings.
Martial Arts cherishes the things he has now. The coach's training methods and recipe suggestions cannot be remembered in his brain at once, so he will write them down carefully with a pen.
When Kobe was in the dormitory one day, he saw martial arts recording things in this area, and he became interested in it. He imitated martial arts and secretly recorded it.
Kobe is different from Ye Guchan, who is a martial artist. His father is a professional, and his resources are far beyond what martial arts can match. But before, Kobe only passively accepted training. No matter what his father and the trainer hired by his father said, he just How to do it.
But now, Kobe is also starting to think about what lies behind these workouts.
One week of physical training, one week of performance training.
During the two weeks of training, the players only had a taste of it.
Some people think that such a short training is of no use and don't take it to heart after practicing it. However, some players have gained a lot, such as martial arts, and they have also made adjustments to their previous training.
A player's growth cannot happen overnight. Wu Dao has enough patience for his own growth and will not give up on changes just because they have no effect in a short period of time.
After two weeks of training, the ABCD training camp officially entered the "training camp" training method.
Contest.
Endless competition.
The training camp can teach players the most core things, and they have been taught them all in two weeks. Whether they can understand those things depends on the players themselves.
Of course coaches will emphasize the importance of basic training during normal training, but not many people really take it to heart.
This is normal. When we are in school, teachers teach students how important reading is every day, but there are still only a handful of people who really try their best.
But the interesting thing about human beings is that most people are the kind of people who pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons.
Everyone was bored with the boring basic training for two weeks, but once the practice matches without any "nutrition" came, the players' enthusiasm increased.
The reason is very simple, because there are many scouts and media watching the game during practice matches. If you are favored by these people, your career may skyrocket! !
This is what most players have in mind.
They have all forgotten that the practice match is actually to test the results of the training ground.
Instead, they treated the training matches as real training. It is true that training matches have a training effect, but if players want to make a qualitative leap, a pragmatic foundation is essential!
For training matches, martial arts has become unusually dull.
When playing games with his teammates, Wu Dao also maintains a normal mind. He will fight when he has the opportunity. If he doesn't have the opportunity, he won't force it. In short, he just does what he can.
However, some players have lost their true nature under the gaze of the media and scouts. When they were on their own team, they were still people who knew how to share, but when it came to practice matches, they all turned into lone wolves.
In order to highlight their personal characteristics and dazzling statistics, they began to compete with each other for the ball.
In the practice match of Group C, the coaches and assistants on the sidelines were obviously aware of this situation, but they did not stop it at all.
Even when the tactics were explained, it was only a superficial reminder. They didn't care whether the players listened or not, and they would not scold those players who were disobedient.
The more players want to "improve," the results are not good. The vast majority of players have seen their turnover rates, shooting percentages, and efficiency values drop significantly in the past few days of practice matches.
The player with the best statistics in Group C is a relatively Buddhist martial artist.
When Wu Dao was on the court, he didn't do anything else, just get stuck in position and grab rebounds. When the opportunity arose and he asked for the ball, even if his teammates didn't give it to him, Wu Dao didn't say anything.
But the Buddhist system does not mean that martial arts is not outstanding.
After three or four days of training matches, Wu Dao averaged 23 minutes per game, but was able to average 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, 4 blocks and 0 assists per game.
Wu Dao's terrifying performance naturally attracted the attention of many media and scouts. When Wu Dao plays on the court, he can clearly feel that more eyes are focused on him.
However, in this regard, Wu Dao did not do anything weird to attract the attention of the media, he just played what he "thought was reasonable".
If martial arts can learn "front-running marketing" and use Sister Ni's few moves to show off, his attention will be increased a lot.
However, even without any extra work, relying on the exaggerated average data per game, Wu Dao successfully entered Group B and practiced together with the players in Group B.
The head coach of Group B is not as Buddhist as the head coach of Group C.
He really wants to teach the players something, so the games in Group B are much more "reasonable". Although there are still situations of grabbing the ball, they are not as outrageous as those in Group C. The most outrageous thing about Group C is Stealing a pass from a teammate.
Budao will be more comfortable playing in Group B, and his average data per game has also changed.
His playing time has increased to 33 minutes per game, and his personal data has also reached 43 points, 13 rebounds, 5.4 steals and 3 blocks per game.
Of course, Wu Dao's assist number is still the most eye-catching - 0.
In the eyes of others, Wu Dao is actually the kind of lone wolf who doesn't pass the ball, but in Wu Dao's eyes, every time he takes a shot, it is the best choice and very reasonable!
The Buddhist system is just the Buddhist system that martial arts consider themselves to be.
Playing in Group B, Wu Dao's statistics are the most gorgeous, and his performance on the court is the most eye-catching. At the same time, he is also the person the coach scolds the most.
The coach of Group B never criticizes Wu Dao for playing alone. He always criticizes Wu Dao for not moving fast enough and executing tactics imperfectly. The defense always fights and retreats. He can clearly block the opponent with force, but he likes to let the opponent take half a step to pursue. Blocking shots; and scolding Wu Dao for choosing to "float" and shoot from the outside when he can rely on his talent to rush in and dunk.
The coach of Group B is a hot-tempered, straight-faced, "iron-blooded" mid-range shooter who dislikes martial arts.
Amidst his angry curses, his martial arts also changed.
In the past, he also developed in the direction of a true iron-blooded player, but after he tasted the sweetness of a "iron-blooded" mid-range shot, he changed back.
Coach Anxi is a true Buddhist, and he changed his martial arts habits half the time. As for Coach Smith, he also mentioned it twice, but seeing that martial arts was so efficient, he didn't care about it and didn't mention it anymore.
However, the coach Wu Dao encountered this time was much tougher. No matter how gorgeous the data Wu Dao handed over, he would scold him if he didn't like it, and he would scold him if he felt that Wu Dao's playing was unreasonable.
Why does martial arts playing time average 33 minutes per game? Because the remaining seven minutes are spent being scolded.
However, Wu Dao did not resent his coach, he just remembered the coach's name.
