Chapter 217 He Wants to Improve Too Much



Chapter 217 He Wants to Improve Too Much
Green's lore attracted a wave of enthusiasm for the Thunder, but it was quickly snatched away by the news that the Heat's Big Three defeated the 76ers. Many fans forwarded the ESPN report, some praised Wade for scoring 30 points in the game, and some mocked LeBron for only scoring 16 points.

A large number of fans rekindled hope for the Heat to win the championship, because coach Spoelstra boldly used the substitute James Jones to replace Mike Miller who was supposed to start, and Jones made 9 of 6 three-pointers in the game, effectively solving the lack of three-pointers for the Heat.

There are also fans chasing and discussing the Thunder's lore, but they tend to have negative comments, and winning can also be black.

Among them, Bill Simmons, a well-known commentator and famous Celtics fan, tweeted: "I think Kevin Durant should be allowed to shoot that lore shot. After all, Kevin Durant is aiming for MVP. Make a pledge to help.

But in the end it was Jeff Green who made the shot. I don't know what his coach thinks, which is really surprising.

Maybe it's because Jeff Green has a better chance, or maybe it's because Durant can't get out of the defense efficiently..."

Simmons' tweet triggered many big comments, one of which accused Su Yang of only caring about himself, which received 3K+ likes.

[The Chinese guy only wants to hit the fastest 200 wins. He doesn't care if Durant can get the MVP. He wants everyone in the Thunder to work for him to hit the record. He always wants to keep Green, but he is worried that the Thunder's combat effectiveness will be reduced. ...]

On the flight back to Oklahoma, assistant coach Brian told Su Yang about Simmons' tweet.

Su Yang glanced at the tweets casually, and guessed that it was probably because the Thunder defeated the Celtics in the Finals. Bill Simmons, who used to like to brag about his coaching ability, has completely turned into a black fan. He tweeted deliberately without mentioning his name, and even intentionally play off.

For hints full of attacks, Su Yang didn't care, and didn't bother to pay attention, knowing that it was standard for the strong to be envied and slandered.

He was a little worried that Durant might be thinking wildly after seeing the tweet, which would trigger negative emotions.

But this kind of thing can't be voluntarily explained, it can only be dealt with according to the situation, otherwise it is easy to judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

The Thunder team returned to Los Angeles and had three days of rest according to the game arrangement, and two days off as usual.

Su Yang didn't take a break. He woke up at twelve o'clock, drove to the training base after lunch, and tested several high-precision tracking cameras that had just arrived with Phil Handy and other trainers, as well as the agility of traffic light detection and reaction. Sex training equipment.

Perhaps because of the championship bonus, the boss Clayton generously approved part of the hardware budget, but he was not willing to spend money on analysis software authorization, so he could only try it out for two months. The reason was that the technology was immature and it was easy to waste money I can't hear them.

Su Yang didn't bother, knowing that Clayton was right to worry.

Because LeBron and Wade have also used Curry's shooting analysis software, but the shooting percentage has improved very little.

In other words, it will take several seasons for fans to see a significant improvement in LeBron's shooting percentage.

But after several seasons, it is difficult to evaluate whether the analysis software has helped LeBron.

Su Yang's starting point is to seek to increase the upper limit, that is, to spend money to buy possibilities, even if it is useless, it is nothing more than 10,000+ US dollars.

Everyone adjusted the equipment, worrying about not being able to find a suitable test candidate, Durant walked into the training base in a low-key manner.

It is said that on the second day after the back-to-back away game, the training intensity is as high as Kobe, and he will also choose to take a break.

But Durant belongs to the type that does not play basketball for a day and feels uncomfortable. He really loves basketball. He has to shoot basketball twice even if he is not training. shape.

For example, John Wall and Anthony Davis, although they can quickly return to normal shape under their conditions.

"Hey KD!"

Su Yang greeted him casually, and Durant excitedly agreed to act as a tester, starting with the shooting trajectory project.

According to the rules of the three-point contest, there are fifteen basketballs in five positions, and all shots are completed within one minute.

With the cheers of the crowd, 15 shots were completed in a blink of an eye. In order to get more samples, Durant will make a few more rounds.

In just ten minutes, Durant completed 150 shots and made a total of 112 hits. The efficiency is not bad.

It will take a long time for the analysis results to come out. Durant returned to the sidelines and chatted nonsense with Su Yang and the others.

Assistant coach Brian took the initiative to mention Scarlett Johansson and Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds's marriage rumors, Su Yang and the others laughed tacitly, but Durant shrugged calmly and said: "I was just joking, why do you all take it seriously?" La?"

While waiting for the analysis results, Durant dragged Su Yang to continue shooting practice, and had a formal chat by the way.

"Coach, how can I better get rid of defenders like Tayshaun Prince?"

The peak of Prince's career has passed. The highlight of his career is that he was selected to the defensive second team for four consecutive years. Overall, his sense of presence is quite low. The defense is known for its long arms and precise positioning. It can make many masters feel irritated by being able to pass through a thin body. .

Specifically, in the game between the Thunder and the Pistons, Prince mainly restricted Durant from receiving the ball. In the real one-on-one match, he did not do a good job of restricting the restrictions, but the Pistons have a big insider. Durant is a big threat.

So in the game against the Pistons, Durant failed to perform normally, but fortunately he scored two in a row at the last moment.

"Prince is not defending you alone, just like the lore last night, the Pistons had three people staring at you..."

Su Yang decided to take the opportunity to praise Durant and avoid Durant thinking, "From a personal point of view, you should try to change from passive to active, such as receiving the ball with your back in the low position, reducing the consumption of running without the ball and forcing the opponent Double-team you."

Post-ups are a prerequisite for all scorers to achieve greatness, and Durant has shown it in the World Championships.

But that level is far from enough to be used as a regular scoring method for Durant, and it still needs to study hard.

Seeing Durant nodding his head, Su Yang continued: "After you get the ball, there are more tricks. You can break through with the ball, step back jump shots, mid-range tentative jump shots, break through emergency stops, lean forward shots, and drop shots. Has done a good job, at least 80 points.

But more can be added, such as dribbling combined with getting rid of the pass, and the left hand dribbling with a large change of direction..."

During the conversation, Su Yang pointed out many directions to Durant, many of which were established training content.

Trainers such as Phil Handy have already made a plan, and they only need to train step by step. Many players can practice one move well in a season, which is already a very obvious improvement, but it can be put on Durant. He really wants to improve .

At about 03:30, the software analysis results came out, and the suggestion for Durant is that a substantial correction is needed...

Su Yang and the others watched and laughed on the spot. Could it be that they made random analyzes because they didn't spend money to buy a formal authorization?
Or is Durant's shooting too special, the software can't find a similar shooting method, and there are too few analysis samples?

But it's normal to think about it. After all, Durant is a very unique existence in NBA history, and there is no template.

The whole team continued to conduct the traffic light agility test, and soon got the results, and Durant got a good result.

After finishing the training, Su Yang drove back to the apartment, and then received a call from Presti, informing him that Jeff Green had renewed his contract.

Su Yang didn't know the specific salary, but after Green stabilized, the Thunder can be more bold in various operations.

If it goes well enough before the All-Stars and hits the record of 72 wins in the regular season, it can be tried.
