Chapter 310 Going Forward (6000)

After Silas finished speaking, instead of starting the discussion immediately, he opened MSN and sent a video invitation to Zhang Yu.

Soon, Zhang Yu's face appeared on the screen, the picture was clear, and the expression was smooth and natural.

He will also attend this meeting and give his opinion.

In the past two months, Zhang Yu has been closely watching the progress of the training camp. Most of the time, he did not interfere with the training plans of the three Silas, but was responsible for controlling the development of the general direction, so that the players should avoid detours as much as possible. Grow up as fast as possible.

After Zhang Yu greeted the three of them, there was no nonsense, and he said directly:

"Let's start, start with Stephen."

Payne nodded, opened the information at hand, and said:

"Okay, let me go first. The players I am in charge of are Stephen, Jeremy, Clay and Danny. After these two months of training, they have all made great progress."

Zhang Yu, Silas, and Bruce all made a gesture of listening, and Payne said slowly:

"Stephen has been training with me for two offseasons. This summer, I arranged a continuous systematic training plan for him based on his training in the previous two years. He has done well. Although he was the scoring leader last season, He was still in the squad for a while, but he didn't let up, which is very rare."

"In terms of weight gain and strength training, Stephen strictly followed the plan and has achieved his goal. His core strength and lower body strength have been greatly improved, which will make his confrontation stronger and help him hold the ball. Maintain the stability of the movement in the process of breaking and running without the ball."

"Steph's three-point shooting continues to improve on the basis of maintaining a stable level. He has further increased the shooting distance and accelerated the shooting speed. I think his three-point shooting has reached a limit level and cannot be improved in a short time. It's the highest level I've ever seen."

"In addition, Stephen's quick decision-making ability has been improved, which is beneficial for him to quickly make the right choice in an ever-changing game. Simply put, he can better combine the three threats of shooting, sudden and passing. Based on his improved handling and passing, his dribbling rhythm is more unpredictable, his passing is much more stable, and his ability to finish close to the frame is improved. And his movement without the ball will also be more difficult to defend. This season, his offensive threat will go to the next level."

"Of course, Stephen's shortcoming is defense. His defensive awareness has always been very good, but limited by his physical condition and energy consumption on the offensive end, even if he has trained on the defensive end, he cannot improve his defensive ability much. Protect him at the end and let him focus more on the offensive end."

"The above are the results of Stephen's training in the past two months. He has made progress again while maintaining a good state. Next, I think it is necessary to strengthen Stephen's physical reserves and overall tactical training to provide him with more opportunities for off-ball offense. Support and prepare for the arrival of the new season."

Payne gave a very detailed account of Curry's situation, and the other three listened carefully. Curry is the foundation of the Warriors, and his strength directly determines the upper limit of the Warriors.

Payne briefly introduced the situation of the other three players after Curry:

"Klay's training is not as heavy as Curry. His training focuses on weight gain, off-ball offense and single defense. Due to his poor basic level, the effect is very significant. Specifically, Klay is maintaining On the basis of the original speed and flexibility, the weight has increased to 210 pounds (95 kg), and the resistance and lower body strength have been greatly improved."

"His shot speed has become very fast, and he has developed a strong shot ability. As long as he enters his rhythm, he doesn't even need to be open. In addition, he can use the dislocation to play singles, but his proficiency needs to be improved... in In terms of defense, Clay's single defense is very stable, he rarely loses his position, he can switch defenses, and he is also good at defending low backs, but he is not aggressive enough. This is the observation result of the training game, and the actual game effect has yet to be tested."

When talking about Jeremy Lin, Payne added another compliment:
"Jeremy's improvement is amazing. His training focuses on weight gain, three-pointers, movement control, passing and finishing close to the frame. These are all conducive to improving his threat in the pick-and-roll offense. The defensive end is just Some regular slides, screen squeezes, screen drills, in line with his team's positioning as a sixth man."

"Specifically, Jeremy's three-point shooting has improved a lot compared to last season, but it's still not consistent enough, he can respond to the short, but the ball-handling effect against the defender is not good... His handling and passing There is a great improvement, thanks to his gaining weight to 200 pounds (91 kg), sacrificing a little speed, but the confrontation and strength have improved significantly, which greatly increases the stability of his actions in the pick-and-roll attack, and ends at the close box have a higher success rate in terms of peacemaking and killing."

"At the same time, Jeremy made up for the lack of poor finishing ability with his left hand. His left and right hands are more balanced, which further improves his offensive threat. In terms of personal skills, he is fully capable of playing the role of the sixth man."

Finally, Payne picked up Danny Green's report:

"Danny's talent is limited, but he works very hard, and he only needs to focus on running off the ball, spot-up three-pointers and defense, so the improvement is very significant... His three-pointers are more accurate, but only in the open space Shots... Danny is familiar with the offensive methods of going around screens and hand-to-hand. He has a strong understanding of tactics, and the tearing off the ball is very effective, but he lacks the ability to hold the ball... Defensive skills are solidly mastered, and the awareness of assisting defense is particularly good , Good at shrinking the frame, integrating both offensive and defensive ends, Danny is a very good role player."

"The above is the training progress of Stephen, Clay, Jeremy and Danny in the past two months. Generally speaking, they have all completed their training goals, and their personal skills and strength have made great progress." Finally, Payne made A brief summary ends my speech.

After he finished speaking, the other three did not speak immediately, but nodded frequently to express their approval of what Payne said, and looked down at the documents in their hands, digesting Payne's words.

Zhang Yu at the other end of the video also received the information sent to him by the three of Silas by fax. It was just measured a few days ago, the physical measurement data of each Warriors player, and their training situation in the past two months. Record.

In addition to these, every few days, Zhang Yu will also receive a collection of training game videos sent to him by Silas, from which he can observe the real-time performance of everyone in time to ensure control of the training camp.

In the final analysis, this training camp was all funded by Zhang Yu, and it was impossible for him to hand it over to the three of Silas.

After Payne finished speaking, Zhang Yu did not express his opinion immediately, but signaled Bruce and Silas to continue talking.

The two looked at each other, and Bruce said:
"Then let me do it. The players I'm in charge of are Jimmy, Kawhi, Drummond and Chandler. They are all forwards, and the training content is relatively similar, um, except for Drummond."

"As you all know, Jimmy has always been the player who trains the hardest. This summer, his improvement is also the greatest of all. Like Stephen, he needs to improve himself in an all-round way, weight gain, strength training, movement skills, shooting and Defense is his training program."

"At present, Jimmy has strictly followed the plan to complete the goal of gaining weight, and his weight has risen to 230 pounds (104 kilograms), which has greatly enhanced his confrontation and strength, and basically maintained his original flexibility and agility. When defending heavy strikers such as James and Anthony, better results can be achieved."

"His ball-handling skills have improved significantly. Jimmy has mastered the skills of emergency stop jumpers and ball-handling breakthroughs. His ability to finish close to the frame and create damage is also stronger than last season, which is enough to share Stephen's ball-holding pressure. Digest part of the ball right."

"At the same time, he didn't put down his shooting training. The stability of the fixed-point three-pointer was very good. The air cut off the ball became more powerful because of the weight gain, but at the cost, his speed around the screen decreased."

"The most surprising thing about Jimmy is that his awareness of sharing the ball has improved, which makes his offensive threat more comprehensive. I think he can serve as the team's second main attacker in the new season."

After Butler, Bruce opened Green's report:

"Drummond's training program is very clear, that is, weight gain, fixed-point three-pointers, passing, defense and a small amount of movement and control skills. He has done well."

"The first is the fixed-point three-pointer. Drummond practiced very hard on long-range shots. He had to practice for half an hour every night. He often consulted Stephen and Clay for their experience. After two months, his fixed-point three-pointer grasp Greatly improved, and continues to improve.”

"In terms of defense, Drummond has shown amazing talent in individual defense skills. After this period of training, he is proficient in all single defense skills, and he has gained weight once throughout the summer. The weight has increased to 230 pounds (104 kg), and with his superb defensive skills, he can defend from the first position to the fifth position."

"Drummond's dribbling has also improved a lot on a poor basis, mainly focusing on pushing the fast break with the ball, and as a pick-and-roll screener, he went straight to the basket after receiving the ball, and his passing accuracy was also improved. It is higher, but the auxiliary defense can be improved through technical training, which can only be left for the future.”

For Leonard, Bruce was full of praise:
"Kawhi surprised me very much. He was almost as hardworking as Jimmy. If I hadn't stopped him, he could even train 12 hours a day. Thanks to this attitude, Kawhi greatly made up for the lack of basic skills. The spot-up three-pointers, air cuts and defense have improved rapidly."

"Kawhi was not a good offensive player in college and often made wrong offensive choices, but after these two months of training, he understands his position on the offensive end of the team, will not mess around, and focus on Fixed-point three-pointers and a small amount of air cuts, the accuracy of open three-pointers has been greatly improved, but the stability is not enough, and the awareness of air cuts is better. This is an offensive method that he is relatively good at in college, and he is good at grabbing offensive rebounds."

"In terms of defense, Kawhi, like Drummond, has shown extraordinary talent. His individual defense is extremely aggressive and oppressive, especially good at pressing, and his awareness of assisting defense is also very good. I think he has the league Elite defense, just inexperienced, gambled steals."

"I think Kawhi can help the team in the new season. He will be a very good 3D player."

Finally, Bruce talks about Chandler Parsons:

"Chandler's training focuses on free throws, three-pointers, air cuts and defense. It is basically the same as Kawhi. There are also some control skills and passing exercises, which are based on the technical characteristics of his university."

"Chandler's defense is relatively average. After two months of training, he has not reached the average level of the league. However, relying on his 6-foot-10 (2) height, he will not lag behind on the defensive end... His scoring His ability is stronger than Kawhi's. His free throw and three-pointers have undergone special training, which has greatly improved compared to his college days... He has a certain ability to hold the ball, and he has a good sense of sharing the ball. He can play in the less intense transition period Not a small role, I think he will be a good immediate force in the new season."

After the report, Bruce said to Zhang Yu:

"Ronan, I must remind you that Jimmy is a player with plenty of energy and can digest a lot of time, while Kawhi and Chandler both need to exercise through the game, and they can also help the team. How to allocate them The playing time needs to be carefully weighed."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly:

"You're right, this is indeed a problem, but don't worry, I've thought about it, and I'll talk about it later... Stephen, tell me about Hassan, Isaiah and Yi."

Silas nodded and said:
"Okay, Bruce and Brad have explained everything in detail. The three of them, Hassan, are in a similar situation and have made great progress. This long-term training camp model is very conducive to the rapid growth of rookies and realize their potential."

"Let me talk about Yi's situation first. He is a very hardworking player. The training focus is mainly on the down cuts and outside roll shots as a pick-and-roll screener, the protection of the frame and a small amount of high-post support. Off the ball, and the foundation of it all, the quality of Yi's screens has improved a lot with a lot of practice."

"Yi lost 6 pounds. His weight of 232 pounds (105 kilograms) made his mobility better. After systematic strength training, his confrontation and strength basically maintained the original level. The threat of air cutting He is more aggressive, and his ability to finish at the basket is better... In terms of shooting, Yi’s shooting speed is still relatively slow, but his grasp of open three-pointers has improved a lot, and he can respond to empty shots stably.”

"However, Yi's coping ability is still not good enough. His field of vision is relatively narrow, and he can only play simple hand-offs... On the defensive end, his jumping and mobility have been improved due to weight loss, and he has successfully protected the frame. The rate has increased a lot...I think Yi will play a bigger role on both ends of the offense and defense in the new season, and can provide the team with space and depth threats."

After Yi Jianlian, Silas opened Whiteside's report:

"Hassan has also made some progress. His training focuses on strength training, free throws, frame protection, low-post defense, and running down and close to the frame after a screen. These are relatively simple blue-collar skills. Hassan played last season. There are relatively few opportunities, so I have been training in these areas, and this summer has continued."

"Hassan has gained weight to 235 pounds (107 kg), and with his 7-foot (2-meter-13) height, he is enough to be a barrier to the basket, but the price is that his mobility is further reduced. As long as he leaves the penalty area, his defense will It has become useless... The good news is that after a long period of training, Hassan's habit of taking off and blocking opponents has been corrected. His defensive actions are no longer as casual as before, which will reduce many unnecessary fouls and limit opponents in the low position. .”

"In terms of offense, Hassan's free throws can reach about 85% in training with unremitting practice. According to experience, he can at least maintain a free throw rate of more than 65% on the court, which is enough for him. Will not fall into shark-slashing tactics on the court... Hassan's pick-and-roll roll and basket finishing ability have greatly improved. His size will pose a very big threat to the basket, and his offensive rebounds and second He is also a good player on offense, and I think he is good enough to take on the duties of a backup center in the new season."

And finally Isaiah Thomas:

"Isaiah is a very special player. His height is only 5 feet 10 inches (1 meters), and he naturally has a great disadvantage on the defensive end. Only the best sixth man is suitable for his development direction, so Isaiah's workouts are all about offense."

"During his four years at the University of Washington, he has developed a relatively good scoring ability, so this summer, his task is to further polish his shooting, breakthrough, and close-in finishing skills, and further practice passing to increase his Threat with the ball."

"The good news is that Isaiah's athletic ability is very good, which to a certain extent makes up for his lack of height. After two months of training, his already accurate shooting has continued to improve, and he has initially developed the ability to hold the ball. I am more proficient in shooting three-pointers and pull-up jump shots, and I have adapted to NBA-level confrontation-I mean under the defense of Clay, Stephen, Jimmy and others, the specific effect will have to be tested in the game."

"Breakthrough has always been Isaiah's strong point. He is very flexible. He starts the first step very quickly and can use his speed to pass most opponents. His close-in finish is also very efficient... In terms of passing, His vision is unexpectedly good, and his passing is very imaginative, but limited by his height, his turnover rate is a bit high, but this is also enough for him to have a three-dimensional offensive threat for sudden passes. I think he can play in characteristic games. Among them, playing as a surprise player, he can also play the role of the sixth man in the transition period after adapting to the intensity of the NBA game."

After going through all the reports, Silas concluded:
"This is the situation in the first stage of the training camp. Generally speaking, everyone worked very hard, completed the established training plan, maintained a good physical condition, made great progress in personal strength, and had a very good offensive tactics. It's good, and they're still improving."

"Of course, this is mainly because the players participating in the training camp are all rookies. They are very eager to become stronger and can endure loneliness. Now, no one knows when the lockout will end. We must make good use of the next time, use Let them strengthen their hearts and work out a training plan suitable for them, which will bring us a huge advantage next season."

After he finished speaking, his mouth was a little dry, and he took a sip of water from the water glass to calm down his slightly shortness of breath.

While recording the main points of the meeting in his notebook, Zhang Yu nodded and said:
"That's right, that's what we're talking about here today, guys, and I'll reiterate that opportunities like this summer don't come and go, and a long-term training camp like this may never happen again, and we have to take advantage of it. With this precious opportunity, the training situation in the first stage has also been clearly summarized, and in the second stage, we need to change our thinking."

He stopped writing, raised his head, and all three of Silas looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"In the past two months, the focus of the training camp has been on the players' strength training and technical training, which has achieved very good results. Next, Ron will go to Miami to take charge of the next training camp with Stephen until The lockout is over. During this period, the focus of the training camp will shift to technical training and tactical training, while continuing to improve the strength, strengthen the tacit understanding of the players."

"Ron is coming?" Silas asked in surprise.

"That's right," Zhang Yu said with a smile, "He has experienced a season of exhaustion, and his energy is a little low. He rested for two months. Yesterday, the team just 'negotiated' with him to terminate the contract. Next week, he will go to Miami. Meet you...Brand, remember to prepare a four-month personal trainer contract, and the details will be similar to those of Stephen and Bruce."

"Four months? Do you need to sign for such a long time?" Payne keenly captured the key points in Zhang Yu's words and asked.

"Need, according to my estimation, the lockout will end before Christmas at the latest, and the league will not tolerate the loss of canceling the Christmas game." Zhang Yu said.

"Okay, I'm ready." Payne nodded in response.

Zhang Yu warned again:

"The contract with Stephen and the others should also be arranged. This is the certificate for them to 'hire' you as a personal trainer. The payment must be timely, and everything must be done according to procedures, so that there will be no problems."

Payne smiled:
"no problem."

The services provided by the training camp to the Warriors players are not free. Everyone has signed a contract with the Basketball Acceleration Training Camp, accepting the services of the training camp at a monthly fee of [-] US dollars, and signing once a month.

This is just a symbolic contract. The money is far from enough to cover the cost of the training camp, let alone make a profit. But with this contract, the Warriors players will participate in the training camp spontaneously and have nothing to do with the Warriors. Everyone knows what it means to join the training camp with Silas and Bruce, but the Warriors have not violated any regulations of the league.

Zhang Yu said:
"Because I'm not in Miami, even if there are videos of the training games to watch, you will report every few days, but I don't know as much as you do about the actual situation of the training camp. Control, but there is one principle, you have to remember - this training camp is the foundation of whether we can become a real strong team, it must be properly arranged, whether we can enter the championship next season depends on this training camp Already!"

　There is still a thousand short, and I will make up tomorrow, asking for a monthly ticket and a recommended ticket~
