5. Train him to the ground!(1/2)

Li Ao followed Brown to the innermost part of the training ground, opened the door, and saw something else - a gym.

Continue walking through the gym and there are three doors at the corner.

The first one was the storage warehouse. Brown stopped Li Ao and walked in alone.

Li Ao saw the notice posted on the door that players were not allowed to enter without permission.

He took a look at the door. It was clean and tidy inside, and the items were all marked. As the club manager, Brown quickly brought out a set of training clothes.

Li Ao unfolded it and took a look. It was a standard four-piece suit, long-sleeved trousers and short-sleeved jersey shorts. But at a glance, he knew it was not custom-made. It was quite loose and should be standard for his height.

Brown said: "After training, put the used training clothes in the dirty clothes basket in the locker room. There is a registration form there, write your name, and someone will come to collect it. I will also put the new clothes in the clothes basket the next morning."

Put your training clothes in your closet."

As he spoke, Brown opened the door next to him and continued: "This is the dressing room, come and choose a wardrobe."

Li Ao held his breath and walked in. He sniffed tentatively and found that it was not as bad as he thought.

The dressing room was relatively large and there were many cabinets. He randomly found one in the closet without a name card: "This is it."

Brown put the prepared name card in and said: "You want to train later? Then change into training clothes first, I will go out first."

It was very hot in Los Angeles at the end of August. Li Ao dressed coolly and changed into short-sleeved shorts. He simply folded the clothes he changed and put them in the closet, then left the locker room and returned to the gym.

Brown saw Li Ao coming out and was about to take Li Ao back to the training ground. Li Ao pointed to the room he hadn't seen yet and said, "Steve, what is this room for?"

"This," Brown turned around, walked to the door of the room, his expression suddenly became mysterious and said, "This is..."

"This is?" Li Ao was already curious, but now he was even more curious.

Brown pushed open the door and said, "This is another training ground!"

"..."

Li Ao has a black streak on his head.

There is indeed another training ground inside. It is similar to the training ground outside. It is a high-windowed room with relatively bright lights without turning on the lights. It is just smaller and square. It consists of two crisscrossing training grounds and four folders.

The corners are areas where items such as basketballs and stools are placed.

From this, he could see how confusing the area divisions of this arena were. No wonder the stingy Clippers owner decided to run away.

Brown laughed: "Some teammates occasionally want to train alone. Sometimes the coach will conduct special training for a certain player alone, so a separate training ground is needed... What do you think it is?"

"I thought it was a small dark room or something, used for confinement, or a place for fights when there are conflicts within the team. I was really looking forward to it."

"..." This time it was Brown's turn to be speechless.

Is this disappointed expression serious?

What kind of talk is this!

Brown suddenly believed what Henry Bibby said.

This newcomer seems not as sunny and innocent as he looks...

The two returned to the training ground. It was almost two o'clock and the coaching staff had already gone to work.

Henry Bibby, who was chatting happily with White Mamba, saw Li Ao, his face immediately fell, and said: "Already here? Xavier, you take him to warm up and start special training."

Li Ao immediately ran over and asked: "Coach, what special training should I do?"

Henry Bibby asked: "What do you think you should practice?"

Li Ao thought for a while and responded uncertainly: "Fixed shooting?"

Henry Bibby nodded: "Okay, let's practice fixed-point shooting."

So careless?

Seeing that the head coach didn't want to talk to him anymore, Li Ao didn't ask any more questions and followed Xavier Johnson to the half court.

Xavier Johnson pulled a ball stand into the field, picked up a ball and threw it to Li Ao, who was standing on the right side of the three-second zone, and said: "I am Xavier Johnson, you can just call me Xavier, you shoot first

Try it as a group and let me take a look at your shooting."

Li Ao nodded, concentrated, and was about to shoot when the system prompt came!

"The host has started mid-range shooting training and has worn the shooting bag: DeMar DeRozan mid-range shooting bag. The bonus effect is: 20% of the mid-range shooting training results."

This is what the CIC training gain effect is originally about!

The excited Li Ao pulled up and shot. The assistant coach was quite surprised when he saw his jumping posture, his body movements when he lifted the ball, and his forceful movements when he threw the ball!

The teammates were also very curious about the newcomer Li Ao. Their eyes were all focused on him, and they were surprised to see his shooting action.

Three words describe Li Ao's CIC - picturesque!

Then..."Bang"...the ball hit the neck of the basket hard.

The teammates looked away. Looking at his posture, they thought he was a mid-range shot expert. That's it?

Xavier Johnson was also speechless. He picked up another ball and threw it to Li Ao, signaling Li Ao to continue shooting.

Li Ao was also ashamed. He heard the voices of his teammates talking after he hit the iron.

Now his shooting posture is very professional, but his shooting ability is not worthy of such professional movements.

Fortunately, he has a good mentality. He has just started his basketball journey, and his face is the least important thing. He continues to shoot.

After a group of 10 shots and three goals were scored, he smiled sarcastically at the assistant coach.

This is not as accurate as when he didn't wear a shooting bag, and his strength suddenly increased and he couldn't adapt to the shooting force.

This feels similar to the period at the end of last year and the beginning of this year when I was growing very fast.

Xavier Johnson coughed dryly and said: "Your shooting action is quite good. At least you know which parts to use to exert force. You don't need to start practicing from the shooting action. OK, now you start practicing the angle of shooting and finding the right basket.

direction."

Li Ao put away his useless sense of shame and began group after group of fixed-point shooting training under the guidance of his assistant coach.

The process was very boring, but neither his expression nor his movements revealed any impatience, which surprised Henry Bibby and Brown who were watching on the sidelines.

Brown whispered to Henry Bibby: "It seems that Leo wants to seize the opportunity to join the school team. Maybe he can do better than Shelby."

Henry Bibby responded with a cold snort: "He is just showing off. Looking at his shooting movements, you can tell that he is a guy who likes to be cool and tease girls on the court."

Brown said speechlessly: "You are biased. You have never seen him play."

"Have you seen it?"

"..."

Brown was speechless. He felt that Henry Bibby had reached menopause, or that he was quarreling with his son again.

Henry Bibby continued to watch Li Ao's training.

It can be seen that Li Ao's shooting is basically groundless, an amateur among amateurs, which makes Henry Bibby disgusted.

But just because it is a zero-based game, there are many problems that can be found. Xavier Johnson is very professional. After Li Ao made 50 shots in each group, Xavier Johnson could accurately find the problems and provide guidance.

What makes Henry Bibby happy is that Li Ao seems to be quite talented in shooting. After every adjustment, he can see some improvement.

After a complete set of training, Li Ao showed an unfinished expression and proactively communicated with Xavier Johnson about the training details. This attitude made the latter more motivated to teach.

Moreover, Li Ao's physical strength was better than Henry Bibby expected!

Originally, he and his assistant had planned to let Li Ao, a layman, practice a large group this afternoon to get used to it. Unexpectedly, the amount of training turned out to be too light.

While Li Ao was resting, Xavier Johnson asked Henry Bibby if he should continue. Henry Bibby responded in a low voice: "Keep practicing until he can't hold it anymore."

Yes, I had to work overtime again, and Xavier Johnson didn’t complain and actively devoted himself to his work.

Having a team member with good talent and positive learning attitude is a very happy thing for a trainer, and he is happy even if he works overtime.

It was past 5 o'clock in the evening, and the teammates had already finished training and left the Memorial Stadium one after another. Even the White Mamba, who had trained the hardest, left at 4:30.

Finally, another set of 10-ball shooting from five fixed points ended, and Henry Bibby signaled to Xavier Johnson to stop.

In this group, Li Ao's shooting power stability could not be guaranteed at last.

Xavier Johnson said: "Ok, Leo, today's training is over. Go back and take a bath tonight and have a good rest."

When Li Ao heard this, his pent-up energy dissipated and he sat down on the floor: "It's finally over. The amount of special training is so great!"

He thought this was a special bowl training specially arranged for him by Henry Beebe, so he kept gritting his teeth and persisted, not wanting Henry Beebe, who couldn't stand him, to look down on him.

Fortunately, he has been keeping fit and has the first-class physical strength of an NCAA basketball player, otherwise he would not have been able to persevere.

But even if he has good physical strength, he is really tired this time.

Shooting training is very different from his usual fitness. It uses more muscle groups that are rarely used in normal exercises, which is particularly tiring.

Xavier Johnson could tell that Li Ao had misunderstood this, but seeing the head coach's gloating look, he didn't point it out and silently helped Li Ao massage the muscles of his arms, shoulders and necks.

Henry Bibby stepped forward and asked: "This is the training volume of our Trojans. How about it? Do you want to escape?"

This sinister tone, if he hadn't lost his strength and this guy was the head coach of the team, Li Ao would have really wanted to jump up and hit someone!

It was clearly this middle-aged hottie who forced him to join in the beginning, but now it's like he's licking his face to do it.

Li Ao responded disdainfully: "That's it? If Xavier hadn't been tired, I could have done it again."
To be continued...
