One Thousand and Forty-Five. Strong Forward Support!
There is a physical test day every week, one of which is to record the weight changes of the players. If any overweight player loses weight, it will be announced to domestic fans. If the weight is well maintained, it should also be announced.
Among them, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Ding Jinhui, Wang Shipeng... and other players with good professional qualities are mainly focused on maintaining their weight. They cannot lose weight because of eating less. They cannot gain weight at their age or in their respective career stages.
Zhang Zhaoxu and Zhu Fangyu are mainly fat loss.
As Sun Ce grows older, his physical functions become stronger. After scientific calculations, reasonable food matching and professional training by the professional trainer invited by Yao Ming, he has gained nearly 5 pounds during this period. His current weight has increased to 215 pounds, which is a little more than 97.5 kilograms.
Sun Ce learned from the trainer that if he wants to maintain his current speed and flexibility, 97.5 kilograms is the best weight. If he increases his weight, even by 0.5 kilograms or 1 kilogram, it will affect his mobility.
Although the impact is small if it is increased a little bit, the current weight is the best weight to maintain strength, flexibility and speed.
Sun Ce naturally didn't want to give up his current speed and flexibility, but at the same time he wanted to improve his strength...
So Sun Ce placed his hopes on the "S-level designated type lottery card" to improve his strength.
Due to time issues, it was impossible to use this card before the Olympics. To develop a special card for physical fitness, Sun Ce planned to wait until the Olympics were over and commercial activities were done before starting training in this area.
Thinking, Sun Ce suddenly remembered the nearly perfect skills of Big Bird, and compared himself with it, and felt that time was really not enough!
But he has played professional basketball for 3 years, and his mentality in this regard is already very good. He knows that he can't become fat in one go, so he will take it slowly. Youth is the biggest asset.
After finishing the two-hour training at the temporary open-air basketball court in the yard of the small shabby house where he lives at 4 a.m., Sun Ce returned to the room to take a shower and wait for the restaurant to notify him to have breakfast.
This basketball court was a temporary court built in the small courtyard of this house when Sun Ce applied for it when he returned to the national team. Even the sidelines of the court were painted with slaked lime, but they were painted according to the NBA court. Of course, the dotted lines of the FIBA three-point line and free throw line were also left to meet his training needs.
After resting and eating breakfast, at 7:30, Sun Ce went to the training ground in Haddington with Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng to continue training.
Another day of training began. In fact, the team training has been almost done. Now it is more about the players' technical training. The Olympics are getting closer and closer. The opening ceremony of the Olympics will be on the 27th, and their men's basketball game will start on the 28th. They will go to London on the 25th to meet up with the Olympic team. Now they dare not delay for a day. They have to seize the last 5 days of training time and work hard.
After a day of training, at 4 pm, the training ended and returned to the "resort". After a rest, Sun Ce was ready to go to the restaurant on the other side of the hill for dinner at 5 o'clock, and the phone rang.
Sun Ce saw that it was the call from the team's general manager Chris Wallace, and pressed the answer button.
"Chris, is there any good news?" Sun Ce asked first.
As a person, you always have to have some expectations. The previous obstacles in recruiting players did not affect Sun Ce. Their lineup depth is good, and they have successfully won the championship. The opponents will definitely compete with them for free players.
Indeed, their Xiaomeng Village is not very attractive. Those who want to come are some veterans, but most of them are veterans whose strength is not very good.
But Sun Ce is not in a hurry. There are still many powerful players who have not made a decision. After all, for the long offseason, it has just begun, and the first month has not yet ended.
"Oh, there is really good news this time," Chris Wallace said excitedly, but suddenly changed the subject: "But there is also a bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Still keeping the secret,
Sun Ce responded: "Listen to the bad news first."
"Aaron was diagnosed with heart disease and may not be able to play next season..."
"Watt? Heart disease?" Sun Ce thought of Aaron Gray's mountain-like big guy, a giant who could fight Yao Ming and Howard, but he actually had a heart disease?
Although the cooperation time was only half a season, and Aaron Gray's appearances and time were not many, Aaron Gray's natural leadership charm and efforts in the game have won the respect of his teammates.
"According to the examination, it seems to be a family hereditary disease." Chris Wallace said with a sad mood.
"Fuck..." Sun Ce's mood was not so beautiful all of a sudden.
Although he didn't understand what Sun Ce said, he had heard it many times. Chris Wallace knew that it meant shock, and said regretfully: "This is really too bad. We will continue to observe and hope that he can recover and return to the court as soon as possible, but we also need to consider the third center."
Sun Ce can only feel sorry for Aaron Gray. There is really no way to deal with this kind of thing, but he is not worried about Aaron Gray's life. Aaron Gray's family situation is very good. His father is a former professional baseball player, his uncle is the former mayor of New York, and his family is rich. Aaron Gray himself is a double-degree undergraduate graduate in communication and political science from the University of Pittsburgh, and he is taking graduate school. Playing basketball is a hobby and he is jokingly called "diplomat" in the team.
Sun Ce is only worried about the health of Aaron Gray, and regrets that Aaron Gray may not be able to continue to fight for the NBA championship with them.
And this is indeed a big blow. As Yao Ming is one year older and Howard has undergone surgery for back injuries, if he meets Yao Ming and Howard next season, Aaron Gray's size and weight will play a greater role. In this regard, Gasol can't compare with Aaron Gray.
"Chris, tell me the good news. I regret hearing the bad news from you."
"It's really not right to talk about this now. You should play well in the Olympics. We will do our best to help Aaron with his treatment. Modern medicine is very advanced. He was diagnosed early and is not in danger of life." Chris Wallace decided to tell the good news directly without keeping it a secret: "The good news is that our forward line has been further strengthened. Tayshaun Prince has agreed to join our team!"
"Little Prince Prince?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Chris, how did you do it? I remember he still has two years of contract, right?"
"This time it's not me, but Steve..."
Sun Ce learned from Chris Wallace that it was Nash's credit to invite Prince to join.
In the 10-11 season, Nash and Hamilton were teammates for a short half season. They made the playoffs together and established a deep veteran friendship, and then became friends with Prince.
Nash personally visited and invited Prince to join, and successfully hooked him back.
Sun Ce learned that Nash invited Prince because Prince finally left the team after last season.
If Prince doesn't want to leave, the Pistons are willing to support him. Prince's loyalty and contributions over the years are what the Pistons management is unwilling to disappoint, even if Prince is not one of the team's retired jersey plans, but this has nothing to do with strength and honor.
But if Prince wants to leave, the Pistons will not stop him and are willing to grant him amnesty, so that they can start rebuilding further.
After hearing the news that Prince asked for a trade or buyout and that the Pistons would most likely agree to the buyout, Nash was worried that Prince would be snatched away by other championship competitors. He also knew that Prince was one of the players who restrained Sun Ce the most, so he tried to hook up with Prince... and it really worked!
The Pistons have agreed to amnesty, and Prince is also preparing to arrive in Memphis this evening in the United States!
After chatting with Chris Wallace for a while and hanging up the phone, Sun Ce is very excited now, and the team's defense is bound to be improved!
Prince, who is currently 32 years old and will be 33 in the middle of next season, cannot be asked to be selected as the second defense for four consecutive years like in his peak period, but it is definitely better to get it than not.
Moreover, it is very useful to defend Durant, Kobe, and Ginobili!
This offsets Sun Ce's regret that Aaron Gray may retire due to illness. Life is not just about basketball. Aaron Gray just can't bear strenuous exercise. There will be no problem in life. He is from a wealthy family and has won a championship together. Sun Ce estimates that Aaron Gray himself will not be too disappointed.
Things always have to be thought of on the bright side, and people have to look forward!
…
After dinner, I practiced left-handed dribbling layups for two hours. Although the evaluation of left-handed layups has not been listed separately and the training goal of left-handed layups has not been opened, it is always right to practice when there is a chance.
After the extra training, Sun Ce and the Guangdong gang went to sing for an hour. At 10 o'clock in the evening, I returned to the small gym of my own small shabby house to practice Nash training. At nearly 12 o'clock, I finished washing and lay on the bed thinking about things.
It's mainly about the team and the NBA.
Seeing that one player has been added to the outside line, now there is only one more point guard left, and suddenly there is another vacancy in the inside line.
Originally, there were the two bears, Yi Jianlian, Larry Sanders, and Battier, who now plays more as a power forward. The five-man rotation was basically enough. Aaron Gray mainly supported when Gasol rested, and played more against specific opponents.
But now, there is no third center. If Gasol rests, or even the two bears rest together, then the inside line will obviously be short of manpower.
That is to say, there are still loopholes in the third point guard and the third center.
Just when Sun Ce was using his tablet to browse the free agent information in the forum, thinking about who is more suitable for his team and whether there are any players from other teams that can be traded, he saw a piece of news...
The Cavaliers offered two poison contracts, and the two major Eastern powers, the Bulls and the Knicks, were robbed!
