73:92, in the first game of the Athens Olympics, facing its "poor relative" Puerto Rico outside the United States, the U.S. team not only lost, but lost miserably! The record of 24 consecutive wins in the history of the Olympic Games ended. This is also

The most painful defeat in the history of American basketball. In the 40-minute game, Puerto Rico led for 33 minutes. Except for a slight confrontation between the two sides in the opening stage, it was almost a one-sided victory for Puerto Rico. At the end of the first half, Puerto Rico led 49 to 27.

, the 22-point lead remained for a long time in the second half. Although the Dream Team once made a strong counterattack and narrowed the point difference to 8 points, in the fourth quarter, they scored a game-high 24 points, 7 assists and 4 steals.

Arroyo completely controlled the game. Every time he broke through and distributed the ball, NBA superstars were unstoppable. This Utah Jazz substitute guard completely buried a proud history of American basketball. There were Duncan and Iverson.

When two players were rushing around, the two sides could barely maintain a balance of power, but after the two superstars left the field, the young people were completely unable to cope with Fiba's zone defense system.

"If no changes are made, Athens will be just a continuation of Indianapolis!" Just one day later, Ke Yan's words were heartbreaking!

When he came to the training hall, Ke Yan did not see Brian Shaw, who had promised to eat up all the basketballs in the training hall. Instead, he saw Anderson, whom he had strongly signed, practicing his offensive moves under the basket under the guidance of the trainer. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

.

How to put it, although it is only a basic salary, for the coaching staff, Anderson is most likely just a substitute on the bench, and it is difficult to get an opportunity at the beginning of the season. But Ke Yan is clear about the difficulties the Lakers will face in the new season.

Anderson has adjusted to his best form at the beginning of the new season, and it is not difficult to find opportunities to take the lead.

"Chris, can we chat?" During the break in training, Ke Yan took a bottle of water and walked towards Anderson, who was breathing heavily with his head down.

Unlike other players, Anderson's basketball experience was very special. Because no one taught him the registration process, he missed the draft and later played in the CBA. Because of that interesting experience, Anderson accepted Chinese people.

The degree is slightly higher.

Reaching out to take the mineral water handed over by Ke Yan in response, Ke Yan did not mind Anderson's rudeness and continued: "Have you ever considered what qualities the team hopes you can provide to the team by signing a contract with you?"

"Of course it's my shot-blocking ability." People with simple brains only value the things on the statistics table. Anderson looks at his own data and feels that this is what makes him successful in the NBA.

Of course, Anderson's other statistics are not outstanding either.

"If it's just about blocking shots, I want to say that no coach would think that Camby's defense is better than Duncan's! The team needs players who perform correct defensive behaviors on the court."

"What on earth do you want to say!" Anderson was a little irritable. After hearing the words he didn't like to hear, he stood up immediately, acting impatient.

"What I want to say is that if you want to get more opportunities with the Lakers, you must understand what the team needs, where you should make progress, and how to make progress, instead of self-righteous efforts here."

After saying this, Ke Yan immediately turned around and left. He gave the choice to Anderson.

If Anderson wanted to make correct progress, he would naturally come to him.

This is just like the college entrance examination. Except for a few geniuses who can achieve perfect scores in every subject, most ordinary students must have strengths in subjects and lame subjects. If you want to get into a good university, you must be in strengths.

Earn more points in subjects, find the correct learning method within your ability, and find and fill in the gaps in weak subjects.

Facts have proved that Anderson still wanted to improve, and he came to the coaching staff's office half an hour later and asked Ke Yan what direction he should work on.

"This is your high-level data report from last season. The indicators highlighted with red pen are lower than the league average. The data shows that your defensive efficiency is actually lower than the league average." Ke Yan said seriously.

For a player who averages 1.2 blocks in 18 minutes per game, his defensive efficiency is lower than the league average? It is indeed written in black and white on the report. Compared with Camby, in order to rebound and block shots, he is prone to leaking people or gambling defense.

, Anderson's defensive problems are firstly due to lack of lower body strength and he is easily knocked out of the shooting space by others; secondly, insufficient defensive experience and poor blocking habits; thirdly, insufficient defensive skills and easy to get caught.

"Compared with practicing footwork on the offensive end, improving your influence on the defensive end is what you should do and be able to do. Only by doing this well can you get a chance to play in the Lakers."

"Defensive experience needs to be accumulated slowly in games, but lower body strength and defensive skills can be improved in training. It depends on whether you are willing to practice hard."

"Of course, how should I practice?"

The strength training of the lower limbs is different from that of the upper limbs. If overload operation causes any damage to the knee meniscus or ligaments, it will be irreversible damage to the athletes. This kind of training requires long-term persistence. Ke Yan also prepared a standard set for Anderson

Training plan. To strengthen defensive skills, you need to watch videos and train at the same time. Ke Yan made video clips of the defensive work of Garnett, Duncan, and Ben Wallace on the defensive end, accompanied by text interpretations.

Already prepared in the document bag.

Anderson's eyes lit up when he saw the document bag. Maybe it said "If you want to practice this skill, draw the knife from the palace", Anderson would cut it without hesitation. However, Ke Yan suddenly took the document bag back.

"Want it?" Ke Yan looked at Anderson and asked.

"certainly!"

"Assign a task to you..."

Brian Shaw didn't show up at the training hall today, and he was probably thinking of how to resolve the bet. Ke Yan also knew that the opponent couldn't really eat all the dozens of basketballs, but

Are you planning to give the other party some punishment?

"So, who are you trying to trick?" Hearing words like "mustard" and "cake", Anderson immediately understood who Ke Yan was trying to trick, and his eyes lit up.

It’s much more exciting than stuffing popcorn into someone’s car!

"I can guarantee that the plan here can help you, but you don't want to do this?" Ke Yan shook the document bag and convinced Anderson.

"Kimi. It costs money to order a cake!" The real problem is that Anderson, who has an annual salary of 1 million US dollars, is strapped for money, and blushingly asked Ke Yan, who has an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars, for funds.

"Someone will pay for it! Don't worry!" Throwing the document bag to Anderson, Ke Yan turned and left the office.
