Chapter 118 Green Skills

Time flies, and it's June.

In the past two months, Tang Tian has never left the training hall, except for a trip to Washington in May as an NCAA champion with the University of Concord, where he was received by President Obama.

Even in the joint trial, he accepted Fagan's suggestion and did not participate.

After nearly two months of training, his shooting speed has improved significantly.

Generally speaking, when he was in the NCAA, the average time from catch to shot was about 1.5 seconds, but now he has basically been able to control it within 1 second, about 0.8 seconds, and the hit rate can also be Keep it around 80%.

Considering the training time, this is already a very big improvement.

But thanks to Procopio, this training would not have been possible otherwise.

The shooting acceleration training was effective at first, and Tang Tian should consider the next step.

Although the endorsement contract has not been signed, and there is not enough krypton gold value to exchange for new skills, but before that, he must plan well.

He pulled out the system interface and set his eyes on those green skills.

Muscle Stick (Magette): Increase the physical confrontation by 10%, and the weight needs to reach 105kg.

Streetball King (Alston): Increases ball control and dribbling stability by 10%, but has a certain chance of walking errors.

Roar (Rashid Wallace): When Roaring, all abilities of the opposing player are reduced by 10% for five minutes, but there is a chance of getting a technical foul.

Microwave (Jamal Crawford): Increased the consistency of all shots from the bench by 10% for five minutes.

The strongest 175 (Isaiah Thomas): increase the breakthrough speed by 10%, only applicable to players under 185cm in height.

Catch Scorer (Korver): Increases off-ball running speed by 10% and 3-point shooting stability by 10%. Weight needs to be within 95kg.

...

Compared with white skills, green skills are more advanced in that they are no longer limited to no confrontation or passive, but after all, they are only green, and there are not many abilities added, and each has its own limitations.

For example, the muscle stick has a weight requirement of 105kg.

This is completely reasonable. Physical confrontation and weight are inseparable. It is impossible to say that if you lose weight, the confrontation will go up. This is why Harden chooses to gain weight later. He needs to increase the lethality of breakthroughs. There are stronger confrontations.

If you can increase the confrontation without adding weight, then Harden will not be slowed down due to excessive weight, and he will be passed by various steps on the defensive end.

The same goes for catch scorers, you have to lose weight if you want to have speed.

In fact, this is also the position Tang Tian was considering at the beginning. When he arrives in the NBA, whether he should increase the weight to play the 4th position, or reduce the weight to play the swingman, these are actually two development directions.

If he's going to play at the 4, he'll have to gain weight this offseason and trade it for muscle, and if he's a swingman, he'll have to lose weight and trade it for a catcher.

Whether it is weight gain or weight loss, there will be a process, so the sooner he makes a decision, the better the effect will be.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally made a decision to lose weight and play the swingman!

reason?

It's actually very simple. When he was in the NCAA, he was a 3D, playing the No. 4 position, and he was still a swinging No. 4 position. Even if he gained weight and then exchanged for muscle sticks, when he arrived in the NBA, the disadvantage of height also made him very easy. Targeted by opponents in the low post.

However, if he plays a swingman who is mainly in the second position, his height will be an advantage because of the increase in speed.

Jimmy Butler, Paul George, these tall swingmen, almost all went this way when they first entered the league.

Of course, this is not the whole reason, and a more important point is that he needs to enrich his arsenal.

In the NCAA, his defense plus open threes was enough to keep him on the floor, because the NCAA defense was relatively weak, and because a team had few points, the coaches would set up plays for him, just like Cahoun did.

But the NBA certainly doesn't. There are basically very few coaches, or they don't design tactics for role players. Role players need to move to find opportunities by themselves. If you just stand there and wait for a three-pointer, you may have every chance in a game. No.

This is another very important reason why Novak struggled to survive in the NBA.

After thinking about it, Tang Tian put away the system interface and made a plan for his next step.

The first is weight loss.

Weight loss and weight loss are not the same concept. In order to maintain the current level of resistance, weight loss must increase muscle, which is best done under the guidance of a nutritionist.

In other words, he still has to improve his team first.

The buns need to be eaten one bite at a time, and Procopio is his first target.

On this day, as usual, the three of them are training in the training hall, because there is only about half a month left in the draft, and their training is almost over.

Before the morning training session ended, Tang Tian pulled Procopio alone and chatted at the door for a while.

"You want me to be your personal trainer?" Procopio looked at Tang Tian in surprise.

If he had just met, he would definitely reject Tang Tian directly, but after the two months of getting along, the relationship between the two has progressed well, and he is more of an accident.

"Yes, I need a professional trainer like you to help me. Of course, I will pay according to your requirements." Tang Tian was sincere.

"No, Don, it's not about money. I haven't been a personal trainer for a long time. I'm more of a training class now, or become a trainer for a certain team." Procopio Now I see Tang Tian as a friend, and I have no intention of concealing it.

The meaning of this sentence is also easy to understand, he is no longer an ordinary trainer.

"Why don't you think about it." Tang Tian didn't let Procopio make a decision in a hurry.

"Okay, I'll think about it, and I'll let you know if I make a decision. By the way, I heard from Clay that you're going to lose weight now?" Perhaps being a little embarrassed as a friend, Procopio took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, my speed is a bit slow now. I'm going to lose weight and increase my speed, and then develop in the direction of Fengwei swinger." Tang Tian nodded.

"Well, this idea is very good. Your three-pointer and defense are very characteristic. There are not many 3D forwards and defenders in the league now. You will have a great market. Have you found a suitable nutritionist?" Procopio continued asked.

Tang Tian shook his head, Fagan was busy with the draft recently.

"I can introduce someone to you. Although she is a newcomer, she is very professional. If necessary, I can introduce her to you."

Procopio introduced it, this level will definitely not be bad.

Although it may not be possible to sign him, if you can sign the nutritionist he introduced first, this wave is not a loss.

"Can."

"Okay, I'll ask her out after training tomorrow, and then you will have a face-to-face interview."

Tang Tian nodded, Procopio was indeed a very good person.

Thanks to choizhae and Jian Wang for the reward.
