Chapter 308 Butler and Leonard

bang—swipe—sizzling—

In the arena where the basketball acceleration training camp is located, the sound of the basketball hitting the hoop, the sound of the basketball hitting the net, and the heavy friction of the soles on the wooden floor come together to form a chaotic and disorderly song. movement.

The rookies of the Warriors are scattered in the huge training ground, with the assistance of at least one trainer around them, they are training hard.

"Kawhi, when you twiddle your wrist, make your movements softer and lighter, yes, that's it, good, remember this feeling, don't forget, you have a pair of big hands, you want to control the trajectory of your shot , your movements need to be lighter, remember the Jordan game video I showed you a few days ago? He also has a pair of big hands, you have to imitate his shooting movements..."

Beside Leonard, Bruce was speaking very fast and loudly pointing at his three-point shooting. In this noisy environment, he had to provide the volume.

Following Bruce's instructions, Leonard tried hard to recall Jordan's shots in the video, and adjusted his movements little by little, trying to be exactly the same as Jordan.

"Very good, that's it, keep shooting, Kawhi, keep shooting!" As Leonard hit one three-pointer, Bruce clapped his hands vigorously, giving Leonard encouragement.

But Leonard just nodded slightly, his eyes still focused on the basket, his expression did not change.

Half an hour later, when Leonard had hit 200 [-]-pointers, Bruce finally called a stop to his practice:

"OK, Kawhi, take 20 minutes off, it's going to be practice defending the slide and pushing screens."

"call……"

Leonard's rapid breathing finally calmed down. He came under the basket, picked up a towel to wipe off the dense sweat on the surface of his skin, picked up a bottle of Gatorade, and took a sip.

The shooting training was not tiring, but before that, he had already practiced for two hours, which consumed a lot of energy.

After Leonard drank half a bottle of Gatorade, he pulled a folding chair near the baseline and sat down to rest.

While wiping his sweat with a towel, he quietly watched the training of other teammates.

This arena is a dedicated training hall, with a large interior area, divided into 10 complete fields, each Warriors player occupies a half field for training, and 4 complete fields are vacated for everyone to perform the whole field in different time periods train.

Sharing the entire court with Leonard is Butler. He is practicing an emergency stop jump shot. He dribbles the ball from the top of the arc and 45 degrees left and right into the three-point line, and then pulls up to shoot. The movement is smooth and natural. To the stiffness and stuttering when he did this action in the past.

Bang bang - brush!

Watching Butler's smooth front change and rushing back into the paint, making an emergency stop and jumping in, Leonard's eyes rarely flashed a hint of envy.

He also wants to play like Butler, but he knows that he can't do it yet.

At this moment, the trainer in charge of assisting Butler picked up the ball from the basket and passed it to Butler, but with a little more force, Butler didn't catch it firmly, and the basketball flew towards Leonard.

Butler looked back, Leonard got up and took two quick steps, picked up the basketball, and threw it at him.

Butler raised his hand to catch the basketball, turned his head and said a few words to the trainer, then turned his head and said loudly to Leonard:
"Hey Kawhi, stop sitting around and play!"

Leonard hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I'm going to have some practice with sliding and pressing screens later."

Butler laughed:
"It's okay, it will be quick, just a few minutes."

Leonard was still hesitating, Bruce walked over from the training ground next to him, and said with a smile:

"Go ahead, Kawhi, training is boring all the time."

With his approval, Leonard nodded and walked towards Butler.

"It's still the old rule, 10 balls, you go first." Butler threw the ball to Leonard, retreated to the three-point line, bent his knees, sank his center of gravity, and assumed a defensive posture.

Leonard nodded, took the basketball, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and made a three-threat move.

But Butler was unmoved at all, just leaning against Leonard's body, reaching out to cover his shooting space.

Leonard shook a few more times, but still had no chance to make a shot. Butler's head was tightly covered, so he could only let go of the ball and step forward with his right foot, trying to push Butler away with strength.

boom!
Leonard and Butler's bodies collided heavily, but Butler only took a small step back. Leonard made another effort to lean back, and finally squeezed out half of his body, carrying Butler and rushing forward. Get inside the three-point line.

But that's all. Butler quickly stabilized his center of gravity, blocked Leonard's side, and stretched out his hand to interfere with his dribbling. Leonard was almost intercepted by him, and he didn't dare to go any further. He stopped and made a jump shot shot.

But his shot speed was very slow. Butler reached out in time and almost blocked his shot. Leonard had no choice but to increase the arc. The basketball slid through an abnormal trajectory and hit the front of the basket , bounced back.

Butler turned around to accept the rebound and said with a smile:
"Yes, your weight gain in the past two months has been very effective. Your strength and confrontation have increased a lot, but your dribbling and shooting still need to be improved."

"Come on." Leonard shook his head, as if to express his dissatisfaction with his performance, came inside the three-point line, and switched positions with Butler.

Butler attacked, and he also assumed a three-threat posture, but Leonard did not dare to post it. Butler's dribbling is not comparable to him. He leaves a step away to interfere with Butler's shooting. Can defend Butler's breakthrough.

Butler smiled slightly, and suddenly lifted the ball. Renner subconsciously stretched out his hand forward, leaning forward. Butler immediately received the ball, took a big step, and broke through on the right.

boom!
The two slammed into each other as before, but the result was completely different. Leonard couldn't withstand Butler's impact, so he took a step back, giving Butler room to break through. Butler accelerated again, directly leading Leonard. Nader was halfway up and came all the way to the basket. He leaned against Leonard again and exerted physical resistance on him, preventing him from jumping up. Then he hooked his right hand and made a solid layup.

After scoring, Butler shook his neck, retreated beyond the three-point line, and said with a smile:

"1:0 slightly."

Leonard picked up the dropped basketball, slapped it depressedly, and threw it to Butler, saying in a muffled voice:
"Come again!"

Butler took the basketball and still put on a three-threat posture, making fake shots and making real shots, but this time, his intentions were seen through, and Leonard slammed everything with his big hand, breaking the ball from Butler's hands.

Butler raised his eyebrows:
"Yo, isn't it good?"

He came to Leonard and narrowed his eyes:
"Looks like I have to be more serious."

　These two days are a little short, the total difference is more than 4000, and these two days will make up 5000
