Li Ao practiced two sets of shooting. Shelby Jordan came out after taking a shower and changed clothes. He still said hello to Li Ao casually, but didn't say anything more. Li Ao also responded, as if the fight never happened. As if.
Although he felt the pressure of involution, Li Ao did not stay to continue training. After taking a good bath, he took the bus home.
In terms of basic defensive skills training, he has reached the stage where he needs confrontational training. Practicing footwork alone will get half the result with half the effort.
The amount of training today was large enough for shooting training. In the two sets of shooting he just practiced, he felt the changes in his hand shape.
As for practicing other things, he has not learned professional training methods. He has figured out his own way, but once he is used to it, it will be difficult to change to a professional way.
Sometimes a blank sheet of paper is better to cultivate. Although this is what Xavier Johnson encouraged him, he thinks it is not unreasonable.
Adequate rest is a better choice for him. Maintain sufficient enthusiasm when it is time to train, and take a good rest when it is time to rest.
The main reason is that he has a different mentality from his teammates. He is not as carefree as Shelby Jordan. During today's training, Shelby Jordan tried his best to perform what he was good at. He did not paddle the whole process one by one when he was not good at it, unlike others. Deadly volume.
Shelby Jordan is confident that he will make the main team, while others are fighting for the other 11 main team spots, working even harder than when they were 50 and 18.
Li Ao is thinking about how to improve his abilities more reasonably and effectively, and he also aims to become the main force. But for him, since he has already entered the main roster, he may become the main force this season. It will happen sooner or later, so there is no rush for success.
On the other side, the coaching staff is also working overtime. After basically confirming the 18-man roster a while ago, they have started overtime mode to make the tactical system more complete and more suitable for the existing lineup before the start of the running-in training after the big roster. Although There will definitely be preparation errors or deficiencies that need to be adjusted during run-in training, but the more complete the preparation, the lower the probability of errors or deficiencies, and the preparation for the new season will be smoother.
While working overtime, they also paid attention to the situation of the team members. They were surprised to learn that Li Ao left after the training and did not stay for additional training. They saw how hard Li Ao worked before.
But on the second day, after watching Li Ao perform mid-range shooting training with more enthusiasm and sufficient physical strength than others, the coaches talked about it and easily analyzed Li Ao's thoughts.
There was no training scheduled for Tuesday, and no one who was not selected for the roster came, but only one person on the roster did not come - Shelby Jordan.
Yesterday, many people practiced too late. Yesterday, a company rented the main stadium to hold a press conference. It ended at 9:30 and the stadium closed at 10:30. Those who practiced extra were kicked out by the staff.
After suddenly increasing the training intensity to such an extent, the other people who came to practice today had a huge difference from Li Ao in terms of their level of commitment and their training state.
Seeing that Li Ao maintained an efficient training performance from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock, Kevin Henderson said to Henry Bibby: "This kid is not only talented, but also has a good brain and can make more favorable decisions. I really want to see what he can grow into in a year or two."
Xavier Johnson, who had guided Li Ao's training, echoed: "Yes, if he drags his tired body to training like others, it will not be a good thing for him who is laying the foundation."
Sam Hayes, who didn't talk much, also responded: "That's right."
Henry Bibby ignored this group of people. At 6 o'clock in the evening, when he was about to leave work, he came to the training ground and saw that the kid had indeed left.
He said to the players who were still practicing: "Tactical training will start tomorrow. You should go back and rest early so that your body can get sufficient rest. It will also help training."
Everyone responded and said they understood.
But not many decided to leave early.
This is not what Henry Bibby expected. He did not impose it, nor did he impose it. It purely depends on the players' own judgment.
Some people really need to take a break like Li Ao.
But there are also people who need instinctive training under fatigue to enhance muscle memory.
So he just gave it a heads up.
In this way, Li Ao, who has entered the new season's squad, has not changed his pace of life. He goes to class, trains, occasionally cooks dinner with Vivian, and plays games on weekends to relax.
As for the team's training, starting from this Wednesday, it will focus on tactical training.
Not only were the 18 of them training, but other people also participated. Of course, they learned the tactics, but only as sparring partners.
In team training, everyone's role is naturally different. On the defensive end, Li Ao mainly focuses on individual defense. On the offensive side, his role is also very simple. He looks for gaps to stand and receive, and looks for opportunities to cut in and rely on his height and wingspan for layups. , make more use of off-ball pick-and-rolls on the wings, and nothing else.
This made Li Ao a little confused.
He is definitely not the main candidate, let alone the starter.
In his mind, he was positioned as one of 6 substitutes, but he felt that the teammates who should also be on the waiting list, regardless of their strength, were given relatively complicated training content. It was obvious that they were trying to see if there were more possibilities. .
And what he wanted to do was too simple, or too clear.
However, he didn't think too much about it. There were few training projects, and they were all projects he had mainly developed in the past two months or so, which allowed him to continue to strengthen his areas of expertise.
Time passed day by day, and it was Thursday, November 11th. There was no team training today, but there were still 17 members of the roster doing extra training.
Li Ao still practiced mid-range shooting today. After the regular training, he felt that he could practice for a while longer, so he invited the trainer to come to the small training ground to carry out training tasks without anyone interfering.
He would usually try to complete training missions, but never did.
His training performance has improved recently, and he is in excellent condition today. He made a set of 50 balls in fixed-point catch and mid-range shots. After multiple sets, the number of hits almost exceeded 35. He wants to try again.
He has failed a lot, and his mentality has already been very peaceful. The first goal is to hit 50 mid-range shots in 120 seconds. This goal can be completed early.
This time it went smoothly. After 102 seconds, it took 77 shots to make 50 mid-range shots.
The shooting speed is faster than usual, so the hit rate is worse than in the previous training.
There is no way, the ability is there, the shot has been swayed for too long, but this is something that needs to be considered in the future, the basic skills must be steady and steady.
Then there were 5 fixed-angle shots from the free throw line. There were no surprises. A total of 50 shots were taken and the hit rate was 39. For him, this is a high-level performance!
However, Goal 1 and Goal 2 have both been completed by him before, but Goal 3 has not been completed even once.
He came to the right corner, signaled to the trainer, and began to catch the ball and shoot.
First point, entered! Then he quickly moved to a 45-degree angle on the right side. After receiving the ball, he quickly adjusted. From the last shot to this shot, he was within the 3 seconds required by the task.
This point was ironic, but he didn't hesitate at all. The moment he landed, he immediately moved his position and went to the free throw line to catch the ball.
This kind of catching and shooting while moving requires time to change positions. It is still very difficult for him and stability is difficult to guarantee. He can only try his best to shoot.
But he was in really good shape today. On his 47th shot, his most accurate shot at the free throw line, he made the 25th shot in this group of shots!
The next left 45-degree angle and the left bottom corner were all hit, 27 out of 50, and target 3 was completed!
When the 27th shot fell into the frame, the task prompt came.
"...The target was 27 shots in 3:50, completed. Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the level 1 mid-range shooting training task. Today's mid-range shooting training received an additional 20% training results."
Li Ao was so excited when he saw the prompt that he didn't even remember how many he had thrown in, so he kept throwing them.
Fortunately, there were others around him, so he calmed down.
Otherwise, I would be considered a fool if I was so excited after a shooting training session with such a dismal shooting percentage.
At this time, it seemed as if there was an electric current flowing into his body, but the feeling disappeared in an instant.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or the effect of the 'additional training effect bonus', but it didn't matter, one had two, and he would know it next time he trained.
The trainer left first after he finished practicing these three sets of shots, but he stayed and practiced a few more sets. Today's training status was good, maybe because he was excited and felt a little energetic. After all, today's total was 1.6 times the mid-range shot. He shot the ball efficiently and didn't leave until he clearly felt tired.
The next day, Friday, with only one class in the afternoon, he came to Memorial Stadium early and started defensive training early.
The content of the training is exactly the single defense training task.
Compared with shooting, it is more difficult to get started with single defense. Li Ao basically started training for single defense and mid-range shooting at the same time, but it took significantly more time to get started with single defense.
Compared with a single mid-range catch and shoot, which is a pure mid-range shot without any independent offensive means, the basic single defense skills are more comprehensive and complex. His mid-range shooting level has always been ahead of the relatively more comprehensive and complex single defense. Defend.
However, through that period of time as a defensive partner, the gap has been narrowing.
In the team's training in the past half month, the coaching staff arranged for him to focus on single defense.
Up to now, Li Ao himself feels that there is not much difference in the strength comparison between these two aspects. He may even be stronger in single defense than in mid-range shooting.
Although he didn't want to believe it, he had always wanted to be a player who could combine offense and defense, but in the end the offense was weak and the defense was strong, and the gap was still widening.
Because in offense, he can only catch the ball and make mid-range shots...
He would occasionally try the single defense training task, but this task was more complex and difficult than the mid-range shooting training task, so he did not rush and patiently polished his basic skills. He did not try it every defensive training day. He was selected into the 18th National Congress. After being put on the list, he was focusing on efficiency during defensive training days and hadn't tried for half a month.
I chose to give it a try this time because I have more time today, and because I completed the CIC training mission for the first time yesterday, I wanted to give it a try and see if it works. Anyway, if you fail, you will not lose a piece of meat.
Compared with the CIC training mission, which only has 3 targets, the single defense mission has as many as 8 targets. Unlike the continuous training of CIC, the single defense requires higher physical strength. When the physical strength is sufficient, the physical strength will inevitably decline. He did better during the game, so he would take a break after completing each task. Today he spent more time on single-defense training tasks than on yesterday's mid-range shooting training tasks.
From moving laterally, sliding... to intercepting the ball and going around to steal, it took a full half an hour.
However, this time he successfully accomplished all his goals!
When the last goal bypassing and stealing training was completed, the task prompt came!
"...Goal 8: Go around and steal...has been completed. Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the level 1 single defense training task. Today's single defense training will gain an additional 20% of the training results."
I was excited to complete the training mission yesterday.
Today is a surprise!
Just give it a try and it’s done!
Half a month ago, when he occasionally tried it, he would always get stuck on a certain target.
Moreover, he tried each goal individually. Although he knew the training content of each goal, there were requirements such as time, efficiency, and repetitions, and some goals were more difficult for him to complete.
So I tried it every few days before, but failed.
This time I didn’t try it for half a month, but I succeeded in one try!
After the surprise, he reviewed the defensive training over the past few months and felt that this was what he should do and it would come naturally.
He has made great progress in individual defense training in several team trainings.
He now has experience. For individual training tasks such as shooting, he should try them on days when he is in good condition. As for individual defense, which is more of a test of comprehensive ability, if he cannot complete it, he does not need to try so frequently. He can practice for a while before trying more. Well, at least it can avoid affecting your mood.
No matter what you do, if you fail, your emotions will always be affected.

In three months, he improved his mid-range shot from failing to 69. Xavier Johnson has been praising him for this speed, and he himself is also surprised.
He is indeed very talented in mid-range shooting. In addition, he has learned the level 1 mid-range catch and shoot training method and DeRozan's mid-range shooting action package, which adds up to a 40% training effect bonus, although his mid-range shooting is not very good. , but it took three months to reach the current level, which can definitely be regarded as a rapid improvement.
Now he has the ability to complete the training tasks of catching and mid-range shooting, and can also receive an additional 20% training result bonus.
He has become numb to the comprehensive evaluation that is less than a passing level.
Love it.
