The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 368
After a brief match, Leon started his first real training session with the Phoenix Suns, and the first lesson he gave the players was to tie their shoes.
“Everyone, untie your shoelaces, immediately, right away.” This was Leon’s first instruction to the players in the training hall, which made the Suns’ players look at each other. I don’t know Leon’s gourd is sold again. What kind of medicine.
Even Bell and Dior were puzzled. When he was in Boston before, Leon was not like that. His schedule for training was so tight that he would not waste a minute and a second in training. Irrelevant things.
But today was the first training session. Nash took the lead to squat down and untied the shoelaces. Seeing that the boss did this, the other players squatted down to loosen the shoelaces.
Then Leon said again: “Now, everyone ties up the shoelaces again. “Now the players are in an uproar. Is this a monkey? But Leon went on to say: “However, I ask everyone to tie their shoes in the same way, with a neat, beautiful bow. I don’t want to see other shapes appear.”
It turns out that before, each player of the Suns had their own shoelaces. Many NBA players have all kinds of strange superstitions, such as wearing underwear backwards, and adding a training vest to the jersey. And so on, are all used for self-suggestion. One of them is the hardest hit area of player superstition, that is tying shoelaces. Some people must tie two buckles, some people like to tie a single buckle, and some people must tie a complicated buckle that no one can understand.
In short, there are all kinds of things, and it must be so, otherwise it seems like you can’t play well and won’t win the game. Some players on the Suns also have this little habit. Seeing Leon say this, they all hesitate.
Leon said, “If your messy methods can bring you victory, then you can write a complete book of tying a shoelace victory method! In this book, I will also write an article to tell everyone , The neat and ordinary bow tie is one of the most champions and victories, and it will be more and more in the future.
After Leon finished speaking, Nash took the lead again and tied a beautiful and neat bow. Then the other players obediently followed suit, and everyone tied a bow. Leon looked over one by one, saw Marion’s bow, and asked, “Are you a butterfly?”
Marion looked down. It didn’t seem to be like a butterfly. The laces were crooked like a few bugs. Marion didn’t speak, but Leon knelt down, untied Marion’s shoelaces, and tied him a bow himself. This made Marion a little flattered, and said quickly: “Oh no, I will do it myself, I will do it myself, I can fasten it.”
After the shoelace problem was solved, the players began to perform basic exercises. Because it was the first day of training, it was mainly restorative training, basic passing, running and tactical rehearsal, without too high-intensity practice. But just for this kind of basic practice, the Suns’ players quickly experienced the difference between Fox-Leon’s training and D’Antoni.
The most significant difference is that Leon’s requirements for details are too high. For some small coordination and subtle technical movements, Leon is very careful, especially the pass coordination, the passing movement, the route of receiving the ball, these are the basic skills learned in high school and college, but Leon is still Very strict checks are being carried out.
During the training, he kept calling stop, correcting, calling stop, and correcting. And no matter which player does which action has any problems, he can find out the first time, and immediately tell you with a roar from the sidelines.
It wasn’t until more than half an hour of training that the Suns players slowly got used to this fragmented training process, and concentrated their attention during training to avoid being named by Leon because of mistakes. Dior, who used to be relatively lazy in training in the past, is particularly working hard today. D’Antoni on the side felt a little unbelievable when he saw it. When Dior was running, he rushed forward with his head buried?
In fact, Dior just recalled the fear of being dominated by Leon when he was training for the Boston Celtics in the past. Everyone is like a puppet with a string, being pulled by Leon in his hand. And there will be no players who are dissatisfied with Leon, because anyone with personality, as long as he is a basketball player, as long as he is a little bit competitive, and as long as he understands basketball, he won’t think Leon’s methods are harmful to him. .
“Stadamel, pay attention to your position and position. You don’t have any threats in this position. Find out where you are threatening. This can bring greater help to your teammates.”
“Nash, your possession time is too long. If you distribute your ball appropriately, the left wing can actually be used as an offensive starting point.”
“Baria, when you don’t have the ball, it doesn’t mean you have no work to do. If standing at the bottom corner allows you to stand out, I don’t mind letting you stand in the desert all day.”
This is the team’s 5v5 undefended offensive training. The defensive side is symbolically defensive, while the offensive side must run tactics and take tactics. This requires players to be very clear about tactics.
Leon knows that most of the players who have been in the NBA for a few years are well versed in tactics, not to mention passing masters like Nash. However, he found that the Suns players often did not pay attention to some details in the process of offensive running tactics, and these details often determine the success of a tactic, or if a tactic fails, whether there can be back players behind.
In high-level, high-intensity basketball confrontations like the NBA, the role of tactics is often not as big as people think, but the role of details is often ignored.
Leon does not think that the Suns need to make drastic changes in tactics, but in some key details, he must install suitable equipment for this team to give full play to the maximum energy of this lineup and this group of players. Avoid defects that cannot be erased.
Training lasts until 12 o’clock in the morning. In the afternoon, the team will be off as usual. NBA training will not last a whole day. Efficient rest is as important as efficient practice. Moreover, after practicing in the morning, the Suns felt that they would retire directly after practicing in the afternoon. Because they felt unprecedented fatigue, not just from the body, but more from the spirit.
Thinking back now, the players would rather keep tying their shoes, and training with Leon is really exhausting. I have never thought that a coach can have such a lot of energy, almost every aspect in training, and observe the details of everyone’s movements in an incomparable way. It makes people feel that he is not guiding a team, but treating everyone. Conduct single-person coaching.
After the training, Marion and Stoudemire sat in the physiotherapy bath in the locker room to relax. They couldn’t help asking Dior on the side. Did Fox-Lyon train like this when he was in the Celtics?
Dior frowned, as if the two had mentioned something that made him sad, and said: “I don’t want to mention the days of training in Boston. Actually training under Leon, the body is not too tired, he arranged for the team Training time won’t be too long. It’s just that his brain is too tired. I don’t know when he will start Hawkeye off-the-ball training. I think that my head is big.
Leon’s Hawkeye off-ball simulation practice has always been a legend in the NBA. Many people are curious about it, but for those who have experienced this kind of training, the difficulties and hardships are not for outsiders. The most important thing is that Leon can really practice this seemingly impossible training method.
After taking a bath and doing physical therapy, a group of people prepared to go back to their homes to relax a little in Phoenix in the afternoon, but at the entrance of the training hall, Leon offered to invite everyone to have a meal.
This was beyond everyone’s expectation. I didn’t expect this serious and cold-looking coach to invite everyone to dinner after the training. However, several of the new Suns’ bench players seem to be unsurprising, after all, they have been with Leon’s meal for more than a week.
Leon wanted to invite everyone to dinner. He had already booked a famous Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, a large private room that can accommodate all the players of the Suns.
Because Nash walked to the stadium to train ~www.mtlnovel.com~, after leaving the stadium, he took Leon’s third-hand Toyota and went to the dining place.
Along the way, they chatted about today’s training and some ideas for the future. It can be seen that Nash was very excited after the training.
“Why let us tie our shoes? Is this some Southern magic?” Nash was obviously interested in tying our shoes before training.
Leon replied: “Forget it, this will bring all the players’ hearts closer. Haha, I don’t know, I just look at your messy way of tying your shoes.”
Nash laughed when he heard it. In fact, how could Leon do something meaningless. In Sun’s first training class, every action and every sentence he made was meaningful. Even the Mexican restaurant at noon, because Leon knew that Nash liked to go to a Mexican restaurant with Nowitzki the most when he was in Dallas.
