Chapter 18 Training Begins

"Our company is quite optimistic about Mr. Du's development prospects, and has prepared a five-year long-term contract of 5 million Chinese currency. I wonder if you have any other conditions or opinions, Mr. Du?" Xu Man first proposed the general terms of the contract.

I have no opinion!Du Zhe originally wanted to say this loudly.

After all, he knew that even for the first-round draft pick, most of the endorsement contracts he had signed were around 200 million.

The price offered by the other party was already very sincere in this era of 09.

However, even if he wanted to agree immediately, Du Zhe still had to be reserved and calm down at the last moment.

Moreover, negotiating the details of the contract is best left to professionals, and it's better not to meddle in such half-baked people.

So Du Zhe tried his best to calm down his emotions and manage his expression. Then he didn't say a word and just gave Lao Wang a look.

The other party immediately understood and carefully studied the terms of the contract on behalf of Du Zhe.

Du Zhe still trusts Lao Wang's negotiating ability and business ability.

Although this old man is a bit older and cannot keep up with the trends of the Internet age, he is experienced and well-versed in the fields of basketball and business cooperation.

Whether Du Zhe stayed in the summer league and the Development League to play before, or later joined the Warriors and found an opportunity for Du Zhe to sign a ten-day short contract, Lao Wang's performance was very reliable.

Moreover, Du Zhe has always played under his banner since he embarked on the path of professional basketball.

Although there were some problems in the process due to Du Zhe's youth and frivolity, Lao Wang always helped him clean things up without any complaints.

It can be said that after several years of ups and downs, the relationship between Du Zhe and Lao Wang has become more like a bad friend and a forgetful friendship.

Therefore, Du Zhe has a lot of trust in Lao Wang's character.

I handed over my contract to him to discuss, that's right!
……

Since the Warriors missed the playoffs early, the team's offseason came earlier. From mid-April until October, the team had no game schedule.

Most of Du Zhe's teammates chose to take a long vacation for themselves, preparing to relax and eliminate the fatigue accumulated during the season.

Some people go to Las Vegas to spend a lot of money, some go to nearby nightclubs to get drunk and dreamy every night, and some go to the beaches of Hawaii to enjoy the beach sunshine.

But Du Zhe plans to use this time to carry out a wave of training and improve his own strength in a targeted manner.

Of course, this is definitely not because he is short of money, but the quality of a professional player drove him to make this choice.

The draft will be held at the end of June, the summer league will start in mid-July, and the national team’s Asian Championship will be held in August.

Du Zhe took out a pen and marked several important nodes on the calendar.

However, he immediately crossed out the August symbol.

Du Zhe estimates that the national team will not recruit him again this time. After all, his performance in the last key competition was really disappointing, and every game was like sleepwalking.

It was also his undercover performance in that competition that caused his already low reputation among fans to plummet again.

It's okay not to be drafted, so that you can train with peace of mind and improve your skills.

What's more, Du Zhe also knows that after Dayao was injured in this year's playoffs, the leaderless national team is in deep water.

In his previous life's impression, the national team not only defeated Persia miserably in the final of this competition, but even broke out the notorious "sneaking door" incident at the award ceremony after the game.

The media had divergent opinions on this incident for a while. Du Zhe, as a fan in his previous life, still remembers it fresh even after more than ten years.

It seems that it is better not to get involved in this muddy water.

Sighing slightly, Du Zhe opened the system panel again. Currently, his ability value has reached 71 points, and several skills of perimeter defense are at the top level, reaching 95 points.

In the interior defense, except for blocking shots, other abilities are relatively average.

In terms of physical fitness, Du Zhe's scores are relatively average, all around 70 points. If you insist on distinguishing, he is good at running and jumping, and weak at strength confrontation.

As for the offensive methods, he is very lacking. Even if he practices open three-pointers every day, his ability value is only 62 points.

At present, he still has 8 system points in his hands. Du Zhe plans to use these points to strengthen himself in a targeted manner according to his training situation after the offseason training is over.

Du Zhe also has his own plans for the next training.

Although the "Stealer's Gloves" are good, after all, they only have a 15-minute time limit, so improving your abilities is the only way to go.

He plans to focus on strengthening his physical fitness next time, while focusing on developing three-point ability.

Du Zhe believes that at the beginning of next season, after the team's main players return, he should still return to the bench and play more as a role player.

As a role player, if you want to survive in the NBA, you still have to follow the old saying - it is better to be good at everything than to be good at everything.

The core style of play that takes everything and occupies a lot of ball possessions is not practical for role players. First, there are not so many opportunities and ball possessions, and second, it is very easy to attract other teams to target.

On the contrary, role players who have special skills and can be a good screw next to star players can become "evergreen trees" in the league.

Now Du Zhe is working hard in this direction, he wants to build himself into a tireless 3D player.

This way, even if the Warriors don't use him, he won't have to worry about making a living in the NBA.
-
On the second day, just after dawn, a running shadow appeared on a beach in San Francisco.

It was Du Zhe who came to the beach for a morning jog early, and there were two heavy sandbags tied to his legs.

While running, Du Zhe constantly changed his rhythm, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, and occasionally made several changes of direction, so that his endurance and explosive power could be trained.

Afterwards, Du Zhe, who had a short rest, sprinted back and forth against a small sandbag with a slight curvature until the sun rose completely.

Then Du Zhe drove to a nearby training hall, where he will conduct strength training.

After all, only with good core strength can he ensure that his movements will not be deformed or out of shape in the fierce confrontation.

However, due to the lack of guidance from professional trainers, Du Zhe can only do some simple bench press, squat and deadlift.

Soon, a morning passed.

After a brief lunch, Du Zhe rushed to the arena and started a new round of shooting training.

However... Du Zhe discovered an embarrassing problem. No one picked up the ball for him...

It seems that I have to find a trainer, but I can't save money...

Sigh, I don't know how Lao Wang's endorsement contract is going... Thinking of spending money again, Du Zhe couldn't help but feel a headache.

In the following time, he had to change the original open three-point training to return running and dribbling three-point training.
