From a professional point of view, such a professional matter should be solved by professionals.
And where are the professionals?
It just so happened that there happened to be a trainer from the United States in my club.
The so-called seeking medical treatment in a hurry could not be more appropriate to describe the current Wang Zelin.
But don't tell me, Tom Bruce can get an annual salary of 360,000 US dollars every year and sit in the position of trainer of Fujian Xunxing Men's Basketball Club, so he naturally has two brushes.
"O! M! G!"
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him who has successfully lifted the 148kg bench press for the fourth time, Tom Bruce's heart was already filled with thunder.
What kind of monster is this?
He was only 17 years old, how on earth did he do it?
And he always felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be much stronger than the last time they met. This was unreasonable. Which company can have such outstanding muscle-building effects?
You must know that muscle building for basketball players is very different from muscle building for ordinary fitness.
The former requires more consideration, such as how much muscle to add, so as not to affect the coordination of various body functions such as agility, speed, explosive power, etc.; while the latter is mostly just for good looks and does not consider other factors too much. .
With full of doubts, he watched Wang Zelin's bench press performance.
Not only him, but also many onlookers around him, such as coach Fan Bin, Fan Songlin, and him, a member of the men's basketball team, all looked at it and clicked their tongues.
"Xiao Wang's talent is quite explosive!"
"Brother Fan talked to me not long ago. Our club has a very talented young man. I didn't believe it at the time, but now it turns out that he is well-deserved."
"Also, have you noticed that Xiao Wang's body is much stronger than when he played in the NBL All-Star Game more than two months ago? It seems that he has worked hard in private!"
Most of the members of the Fujian Men's Basketball Team can be said to have watched Wang Zelin rise step by step from the youth team to here, and this also made them even more shocked by the talent he displayed.
"Fox blood, my God! It's unimaginable. I actually saw a 17-year-old boy lift 148 kilograms of bench press in front of me, and he did it 6 times."
"This world is so crazy!"
In fact, it's no wonder that Tom Bruce and Fan Songlin's expressions are so exaggerated.
You know, 148, just think of it as a bench press of 150 kilograms!
This level of bench press is relatively rare in the NBA.
Not to mention those monsters like Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, and Ben Wallace who bench press more than 190 kilograms. Let's talk about the current number one center in the league, Dwight Howard. The bench press was 157 kilograms, which shocked the league at the time (it will definitely be more now).
Besides, this league is no longer the era when sharks dominated. At that time, when facing the peak sharks, basically every strong team that aspired to the O'Brien Cup would be equipped with 1 or 2 meat shield centers. of even more.
In today's era of declining centers, the shock of the 148 kilogram bench press displayed by Wang Zelin, who is only 17 years old, is visible to the naked eye.
"King, I understand your difficulty now." It has been more than a month since Wang Zelin's last physical test at the club, but the strength of this kid in front of him has undergone drastic changes. No wonder his shooting ability has fluctuated. .
Now that he is ready to develop in the NBA in the future, Wang Zelin has naturally thought of a concise and domineering English name for himself.
King!
It just happened to blend perfectly with his last name.
"Bruce, do you have a solution?" Although he could see that Tom Bruce was joking about him, he had to have a begging attitude when asking for help, so Wang Zelin didn't care much.
And he had already been prepared for the surprise of the coach and others.
If the strength attribute of 80 points is compared to the first-class bench press level among NBA players, then he is only a hair away from that level now.
"Then you have found the right person, King. Although your situation is very rare in China, in the United States, there are countless such examples."
Speaking of this, Wang Zelin noticed the pride on Tom Bruce's face.
He can also understand this. After all, the United States is known as the kingdom of basketball. There are too many talented people there, and among them there are even some weird ones who have grown by more than ten or twenty centimeters in one year.
If I remember correctly, there was Michael Jordan, the basketball god of the 1980s and 1990s, and then there were the triple-double men Megatron and AD.
These people are all representatives of secondary talent development.
Therefore, he is not worried that his sudden increase in power will attract too much attention. At least, slicing is impossible.
After all, although this kind of secondary talent development is not common in the United States, there are always one or two lucky people every year or every few years.
"King, in your situation, I recommend you to practice straight-arm shooting skills!" Soon, Tom Bruce gave his plan.
"Straight-arm shot?"
"Yeah! It's a straight-arm shot."
Then Tom Bruce began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of straight-arm shooting for Wang Zelin.
First, high stability.
Straight-arm shooting only relies on the wrist to perform perspective movements, so it can maintain the shape of the shooting posture to the greatest extent, thereby effectively improving the shooting rate.
This can just make up for Wang Zelin, who is in the period of crazy surge in strength to a certain extent.
Second, the shooting point is high.
As a big center who is 2.12 meters tall and will be 2.16 meters tall in the future, he has practiced straight-arm shooting. As long as he pays a little attention to the opponent's help defense during the game, basically when facing single defense, there is no People can guard against him.
Tom Bruce is still very optimistic about whether Wang Zelin can improve his straight-arm shooting skills.
Speaking of which, I still have to thank Chairman Yao for making Chinese players, especially big men, famous around the world for their excellent touch.
There are naturally advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage of this shooting method is that the parabola is low and not very suitable for long-range shooting; secondly, when shooting in this way, the take-off height is generally not too high.
After Tom Bruce thoroughly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of straight-arm shooting, the final choice still depends on Wang Zelin himself.
After some serious thinking, Wang Zelin decided to learn this straight-arm shooting technique.
Although it is said that the three-point era of the small ball era will usher in later, it is more of a carnival for outside players. As an inside player, it is impossible for me to always pull to the outside to shoot three-pointers.
After all, the center's main responsibility is to guard the basket!
Besides, Wang Zelin doesn't think he needs to be a superb three-pointer. He thinks that he only needs to have the threat of open three-pointers.
When a player has the power of a shark but doesn't want to attack the basket, but always thinks about shooting three-pointers, then he has really picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
Really retarded behavior!
"Congratulations King, you made a wise choice!"
"I hope for the best, so when do we start practicing?"
"I'm sorry, I can only help you complete the initial work of fixing the hand shape. I'm sorry that I can't do anything about the in-depth teaching later." Looking at Wang Zelin with a serious look on his face, Tom Bruce spread his hands helplessly.
"ah!"
Aren't you kidding me?
Just as Wang Zelin was cursing in his heart, Tom Bruce continued: "Actually, it's not that I can't teach you, to be precise, but I suddenly found someone who is more suitable to teach you than me."
"who?"
"It's the God of war that you Hu Jian keeps talking about - Liu Yudong!" Although he has been in China for a few years, Tom Bruce still has to mix in some deep, convoluted and difficult-to-understand words. Written in English.
"Uncle Liu?"
Yes! Why didn't I think of that?
Although it felt inexplicably awkward to hear the name of the Chinese men's basketball god Liu Yudong from a foreigner, Wang Zelin quickly reacted after being reminded like this.
In the history of Chinese basketball, when it comes to the skill of straight-arm shooting, God of War Liu Yudong ranks second, and absolutely no one dares to say first.
In the domestic competition, Liu Yudong relied on an unsolvable straight-arm mid-range shot. Zongheng was still called the CBA of the League A at the time, and his three-point shooting ability was also very strong. He averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game in his career. The rate reached 43.5%.
That’s outrageous!
In the international arena, although Liu Yudong's performance in the international arena is far behind that of the domestic arena due to his height disadvantage as a power forward and the impact of injuries.
But Liu Yudong, who is in a healthy state, still has the ability to compete in the international arena with his excellent straight-arm mid-range shot.
In the 1994 World Championships and the 1996 Olympics, Liu Yudong, the God of War, averaged 11.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 8.6 points, 4 rebounds per game as the team's third scorer, helping the Tianchao men's basketball team advance to the World Championships for the first time. Eight and the top eight in the Olympics.
It’s no wonder that there is a saying that has been circulating among later generations of Chinese basketball fans: “The further time goes by, the worse the picture quality becomes, and the better the Chinese men’s basketball team becomes!”
Putting aside the teammate relationship between his father and Liu Yudong, the God of War, I am afraid that even the God of War himself has always hoped in his heart that someone would step forward and inherit his straight-arm shooting skills.
Therefore, after knowing that he had such a big boss beside him, Wang Zelin decisively abandoned Tom Bruce and went straight to his Uncle Liu's house.
