Chapter 6 [Training Madman]

After a brief discussion, the coaches arranged tasks for the four players to go to the arena for training every day and try their best to represent the team in the summer league.

The three listened very seriously, and Yang Jian raised his hand as if asking for advice humbly.

"What's the matter?" George Carr asked.

"Is the training time fixed? Can I come to the arena by myself if I want to practice more?" Yang Jian likes this arena very much. It is much more comfortable to practice ball than in the open-air court.

There is no coach who doesn't like hard-working players, George Karl smiled and asked: "When do you want to train?"

Yang Jian smiled and said, "I want to practice tonight. I'm used to practice shooting every day and go back to the hotel to stay with nothing to do."

"Have you been training hard?" Karl asked.

"Yeah, I used to focus on physical training, but now I'm practicing technique and shooting. I know the Sonics have a lot of stars. If they double-team and create good opportunities and I can't make a shot, everyone will be disappointed. I I want to try to improve my shooting accuracy in the summer and help the team without having too much of the ball."

"Very well, you can let someone open the door at night, and I will greet the doorman in advance." George Karl immediately agreed, which was exactly what he wanted Yang Jian to do in the summer.

The SuperSonics need players who can attack without the ball, preferably those who can move flexibly to catch the ball and shoot quickly and shoot without dead ends.  If players can only stand on one side, the threat is much less.  Yang Jian had already guessed what role she was going to play in the team, and saying it in advance could increase the coach's favor.

The SuperSonics coaches really appreciate Yang Jian's attitude. Players must have enough talent to enter the NBA, but the final result depends on training.  Many superstars are training freaks, spending most of their day in arenas and gyms.

They never imagined that Yang Jian was a fake training madman, but he had never worked hard to exercise.  They believe that Yang Jian is self-disciplined and loves training, otherwise they cannot explain how his super physical fitness comes from.

Snow responded quickly and followed.  "I also want to come to practice tonight."

"Okay, let's go together. In addition to shooting, you can also practice singles." George Karl laughed.

Snow was a black man with drooping corners of his eyes and mouth, and he looked very unmotivated.  Now, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, his eyes farther than the distance.

People who are better than you are still working hard, what qualifications do you have to not work hard?

The other two did not follow suit.

Julius's English is not good, the agent is not around at the moment, he has no idea what Yang Jian and the coach are talking about.  If he understands it, he will definitely be willing to go to the arena for additional training, which will increase the possibility of him entering the NBA.  Although he is only 20 years old, his talent is average, and if he doesn't perform his best, he will probably return to Europe to play.

Sherrell didn't want to practice at night at all, and was a little disdainful of Yang Jian and Snow.  He felt that the two of them were hypocritical and deliberately used this method to show that they were very hard and to please the coach.  The summer league will start in a few days. Can they improve their strength after training a few more times?

Sherrell suffered from the loss of lack of culture, and did not understand the truth of "the unpleasantness of grinding guns in battle".  He was even reluctant to communicate with his summer league teammates, treating them as competitors rather than teammates.

He thinks he can get a contract as a first-round pick and doesn't have to worry about not having a job.  Even though Yang Jian's physique is amazing, he doesn't feel that he is out of balance and wants to prove himself in actual combat.

The brokers are standing far away at the moment, and Sherrell's broker cannot speak for the client in time.

At this time, Sherrell must also practice more pretending to be, otherwise it will appear that he is not working hard enough.  Sherrell's poor IQ couldn't think of this at all. He was more concerned about how big a contract he could sign, and was ready to go out to buy and buy as soon as he got the money, and have a good time with his brothers in the slum.

George Carr waited a while to see Sherrell silent, mentally blacklisting him.  Even if he gets a contract with the Sonics, he can only be a marginal person.

After dinner, Yang Jian and Snow went to the gym for training. After only a while, he won the title of "little brother".

After Snow saw Yang Jian's tricky dunk, he swore in his heart that he would hug this thick leg tightly.  He feels that there are only a handful of players in the NBA who can compete with Yang Jian in physical fitness, and they are all stars.

After completing a beautiful one-handed dunk with Yang Jian, Snow said excitedly, "Man, you are so fierce, do you know the legendary Chinese Kung Fu?"

"Do you like Chinese Kung Fu?" Yang Jian was not surprised.

"Yeah, Ja (Jackie Chan)'s Drunken Fist 2 is amazing." Snow laughed: "If you know kung fu, you must be better than him, because you are stronger and much taller than him."

"I also like Ja, but I really don't know how to kung fu." Yang Jian has been asked this kind of question by many people in the street court.  Many Americans think that Chinese people can master kung fu, and a fierce man like him will definitely do it.

This year, Jackie Chan officially rushed out of Asia and caught fire all over the world.  In the United States, you can see his movies on videotapes, and there are many people who like kung fu movies.

The two drank water and rested for a while on the sidelines and chatted.

Snow is very interested in Chinese kung fu movies.  "Are there many wonderful kung fu movies in China? We can only see a few here."

"There are indeed many, and some costume movies are equally wonderful. It is hard to see here now, and they will definitely be introduced in the future. Some Chinese actors who want to break into Hollywood will come here to shoot." Yang Jian smiled.

"Do you watch Hollywood movies?" Snow asked.

"Of course, I've seen almost all Hollywood blockbusters..." It's not difficult for Yang Jian to find topics with Americans, such as movies and music.  Some things know no borders, and most people like them.

They chatted for a while about "Terminator", "Grange in Disguise", and "Forrest Gump", and they became much closer.  They made an appointment to be roommates after going to Salt Lake City, and they could watch a movie together after the game.  The standard room of the hotel should have a TV, some can watch movie channels and pay movies on demand.

After another hour of boring catch-and-shoot practice, the two began to talk about the future.

"As long as I can gain a firm foothold in the NBA and be a qualified role player, I'll be satisfied. I have no talent, I can only pass and defend. I really envy you for having such a good body, it's hard to defend against opponents when you rush." Snow sighed.

"Your goal will definitely be achieved, I'm very optimistic about you." Yang Jian said in a spoiler.

"Really? Why?"

"Because your style of play is like Payton, your body can defend against the 2, and you have the organizational ability of the point guard. After the start of the new season, Payton instructed you during the team training for a period of time, enough for you to play in the NBA for more than ten years already."

In a parallel world, Snow played three seasons with the Sonics, a total of thirteen seasons in the NBA, and reached the Finals with three teams.

"I'm not necessarily staying, I'm only in the second round..." Snow said, thinking that Yang Jian also participated in the draft, and laughed.  "Haha, you're still out of the draft. I suddenly feel that the draft is nothing."

"Yeah, we have to prove it this season."

Snow smiled and said, "I will give you more passes in the summer league. It's up to you how many assists I can get."

"I promise to throw the ball when I catch it, and never take a few steps before shooting." Yang Jian knew that Snow wanted to brush the data, and the two exchanged fists.

Snow asked, "What's your goal? To be an All-Star?"

"No, my goal is to win many championships, scoring titles, MVPs. Overtake Michael Jordan to become the strongest shooting guard in NBA history, become the strongest player, and become the god of basketball." Yang Jian became serious.

Snow froze for a moment, then laughed.  "Haha, when you become famous in the future, I told reporters this, and I will be in the news. I have never seen anyone bigger than your ideal."

"Just say it when you get there, this is really my goal, and I came to the United States for this" Yang Jian smiled.

The system brings him not only a strong body, but according to the game introduction, he can gain many attribute points in the future, and his skills can be directly improved.  He wants to improve his strength, which is easier than everyone else.

Snow thought that Yang Jian was joking, but he was really optimistic that Yang Jian would become an All-Star player in the future.

Yang Jian's skills are still rough, but he has plenty of time to improve.  Snow is 22 years old this year, and the technology has been finalized.  Yang Jian is three years younger than him, there are infinite possibilities, and after three years, he may become an all-around warrior.
