Chapter 332
Back at the headquarters, Isiah Thomas was called aside by the boss alone, and after talking to the whisperer, he patted him on the shoulder trustingly, and politely said, "Isiah, then I'm counting on you!"
"No problem, I will do my best to teach him everything that should be taught."
After Isiah Thomas finished his faithful statement, the boss, coach and several executives handed over Neil to him and left.
As soon as they stepped out of the gate of the training hall, Isiah Thomas said to Neil with a smile on his face: "Boy, now that they are gone, are you afraid that I will torture you?"
"Mr. Isiah, for the sake of my dream, I am not afraid of torture at all, because I have grown up under torture since I was a child, and I have become immune to torture."
"It's so humorous, I like it! You know what the boss said to me just now?"
"I don't know, but I can guess that it has something to do with me."
"Smart enough, it really has something to do with you. You should know that the Pistons have been building a championship team for the past two or three years, and in the past two or three years, the record has always been very good, but they have always missed the championship. The reason why he is willing The purpose of offering you a six-year contract is very clear. It is to place high hopes on you and make up for the current problems of the team. But you still need to improve in many aspects, including your skills on the court and inertia after getting the ball. How to deal with it, and how to communicate with the players, so that the team will always be united as one, and use your appeal to lead the Pistons back to the former championship team. Therefore, recently, the boss has temporarily handed you over to me. I hope In the process of guiding you, you can ask more questions, and then don't say you are tired, I will demonstrate to you all the situations I encountered before, during, and after the game, so that you will meet again in the future. The problems I have encountered before will be solved easily, and this process may be very difficult, so I hope you will prepare in advance."
"I'm always ready to do my bit for this city, for this team."
"Good job, let's get started!"
Neil nodded, trotted to get the ball from the basketball hoop, took two balls casually, returned to Isiah Thomas, and handed the two balls to Isiah Thomas.
Isiah took the ball, held a ball in one hand and tossed it up and down naturally a few times, Xiaoxiao said to Neil, "Should we change our equipment?"
Neil took a quick look. Both of them were wearing suits and leather shoes. Wearing such equipment for training would not only make their clothes and shoes dirty and torn, but also easily injured, so he looked at Isiah Thomas: "Mr. Isiah, We still go to the locker room to see if there is any new basketball equipment, it is a bit inappropriate to fight in this outfit."
"But do you have the key to the locker room?"
Neil hurriedly shook his head: "No."
"Then what should we do now?"
"Call Coach Brown and ask him to send over two sets of jerseys and shorts and two pairs of sneakers."
After hearing this, Isiah Thomas was very relieved. He suddenly felt that this kid had a future and his adaptability was too strong. However, in order to test Neil's efficiency, after nodding, he gestured to him to make a phone call.
After Neil made the phone call and politely explained the situation to the coach, the coach asked the relevant staff to send them two sets of well-fitting jerseys and shorts and two pairs of NIKE foot-protecting basketball boots.
When two sets of brand-new jerseys and shorts and two pairs of NIKE foot-protecting basketball sports boots were delivered to Isiah Thomas, Isiah Thomas applauded and praised Neil for his efficient work.
After the staff arrived, they left, and the two of them changed into sports equipment on the spot.
After changing the equipment, Isiah Thomas asked Neil to grab the two balls lying on the ground with one hand and put them down again, repeating this a hundred times.
Although Neil didn't know why Isiah Thomas asked him to do this, his intuition told him that Isiah Thomas must have his intentions in doing this.
Neil hadn't trained like this before. He thought that with such a big hand, he would be able to pick it up from the ground with both hands at the same time, but who knew that after Isiah Thomas explained the demonstration, it was very difficult for him to reach out for the first time. He sucked the ball with both hands, and straightened his body carefully, but before his body was straight, the ball sucked by both hands fell to the ground.
"Boy, don't think it's easy. When I did this move, it took me three months to complete a hundred times without making mistakes. When I succeeded in picking up the ball with both hands at the same time, I did it in training and on the field. The turnover of the ball has been reduced from at least four times in each game before to one or zero, which is why I just trained you and asked you to do this seemingly simple but actually not the same practice of picking up the ball with both hands."
Neil nodded with a grateful smile, and continued to bend down to pick up the ball for the second time under Isiah Thomas's focused gaze with both hands, but it still dropped.
Isiah Thomas saw his problem, he was too concerned about the ball falling, he used too much force, his body and limbs were not relaxed enough, and he was too tense, so he kindly reminded: "Neil, don't force too much, relax, It seems that the process of holding the ball with both hands is actually a process of relaxation when the body is tired, look, I will demonstrate it again for you.”
"First bend down or squat down, then spread your five fingers to hold the ball, and finally distribute the force of the five fingers evenly on the entire basketball. You don't need to use too much force. As long as it is moderate, the ball will not fall immediately."
After Isiah Thomas demonstrated, he put the ball on the ground and asked Neil to continue. After this demonstration, he seemed to have gained new inspiration and understood the principle. He bent down and imitated Isiah Thomas' demonstration He picked up the ball with the right movement, and lifted it up in the process of straightening his body. When it was lifted into the air, the ball in his left hand was slippery like a loach, and it broke free from his hand and fell to the ground.
Isiah Thomas applauded and said: "Come on, it's much better than before, but I'm sorry, you still have a hundred times, and you have to lift your hands at the same time and put them down at the same time, and you can only complete one time."
Neil took a deep breath, a little optimistic and confident in his disappointment, but also a little arrogant: "What's the matter, it's a piece of cake in front of me, Neil."
"It's good to have this confidence, let's go on!"
Neil clenched his fists, cheered himself up, and repeated it again and again very carefully. Once he succeeded, Isiah Thomas would add one to the original number. If he failed, the original number would remain the same. Let him do it all over again. In the beginning, the success rate was too low. He succeeded once in ten times. After the first success, he was basically guaranteed to succeed once in five times. Indirectly speaking, Neil would succeed a hundred times today, at least he had to pick it up with both hands. Five hundred times, although after 150 times, he was sore and backache, but he succeeded [-] times.
Seeing him sweating profusely, Isiah Thomas smiled and said to him: "Boy, I used to come here like this. No one's success is achieved overnight. Therefore, persist and get over it, and you will be able to touch it." To the shining championship trophy that was once out of reach with you."
"Hmm..." Neil was shocked by Isiah Thomas's words. He nodded vigorously, reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and after uttering a cry from his heart, he tried his best to practice with both hands at the same time. ball training.
As the number of failures increased, the probability of success became higher and higher. When 1 bent over [-] times, it still remained at [-] success out of [-] times, but when it was [-] times, it rose to once every [-] times.
By the time of [-] times, he can already guarantee that he will succeed once.
Seeing his rapid progress, he was extremely excited. Although his body was soaked, his hair was soaked, and his body was sore and limp, he was still not tired at all, and he didn't feel tired at all. Sweat is all worth it, and it is all living up to life, the future, and dreams.
Isiah Thomas stared at Neil, who never gave up, was always optimistic, strong, and confident. He was happy and felt that it was his honor to meet him in this life. Neil has a limitless future, so I pity him. He has been in the league for a few years, and now he is blessed by God, and he is given a little chance to prove himself. However, it is still too late, so come on, Neil!The flower of happiness in the future is watered by sweat, so the harder you work, the easier it is for happiness to approach you.
