The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 69 It's time to become stronger!Entertainment reporter?
The next day, it was the Lakers' team training day.

It is also the day when the team is interviewed by the media.

When those media reporters arrived at the venue at nine o'clock, they found Zhang Bolong and Kobe already sweating profusely.

"Hey! Kobe!"

"Long, can I sign my name?"

The two waved at them, then lay down on the floor and began to rest.

"Why are you so slow today? What did you do last night?" Kobe asked curiously, frowning.

"Men, of course you have to slow down."

Zhang Bolong made a sexy hip bridge.

"No way?! Taylor is just a child, you beast!" Bryant said in shock.

"Tai, your size..." Zhang Bolong patted his calf, "It's because the hamstring is a little uncomfortable, but it should be better soon."

"Okay, don't procrastinate if there is a problem, and solve the hidden danger in time."

"I know."

The two rested for a while, and Kobe got up and went to the locker room to change into refreshing training clothes, and went to the media interview area to accept interviews with Kupchak from the media.

And Zhang Bolong, along with other players, listened to Phil Jackson's training arrangements.

"Long, you still continue your 200 long-range shots, but today I ask you to practice more breakthrough layups and mid-range shots under interference, which can help you become better."

Zhang Bolong nodded and walked to the basket at the edge of the arena.

This is a place where the Lakers specially arranged for Zhang Bolong to practice after his open performance against the Sonics.

The newly designed intelligent ball machine can collect all the basketballs around the backboard and the basket into the machine through its large net, and at the same time automatically judge the position of the training players to serve with moderate strength.

The first task of Zhang Bolong every training day is to complete 200 three-pointers one step beyond the three-point line. This is also the secret weapon of the Lakers.

Although other teams knew that Zhang Bolong was a scoring threat from such a long position, they would never believe that there would be teams that specially let players train like this.

Isn't this a waste of time?

It’s true that your ult is very strong, but if you only practice your ult, you may be dealt with by others before you release it.

In the game against the Pistons, Billups' words were not without reason.

Because in the thinking of many old Americans in this era, the three-pointer is only used when the two-pointer is behind.

This is a very inefficient way of scoring. When it is fatal, you can just throw it away. No one usually takes it seriously.

Kobe scored 12 three-pointers in a single game, and Donyell Marshall also reached it, but they averaged 4 and 5.6 three-pointers per game in the season when they achieved this achievement, and hit 1.5 and 2.3 times.

In the eyes of many people, those players who shoot from the outside are softies who are afraid of confrontation.

The boss of no team is known for his three-pointers, because three-pointers alone can hardly be the cornerstone of the team, at best he can only be an important role player.

People may think of Reggie Miller at the first moment, but people can only think of one Reggie Miller.

The three-pointer is an assistant, and the real star of the team must be able to break through with the ball, play mid-range singles, and then finish with a fancy layup or a wonderful slam dunk.

How could it be so easy to be the first person to eat crabs.

But despite the environment, Zhang Bolong is still full of confidence.

In the 2006-2007 season, the 30 teams in the league took an average of 16.9 three-pointers per game and hit 6.1. The Phoenix Suns with the highest number of hits was the fast-moving Phoenix Suns, with an average of 9.6 hits per game.

然而到了张勃龙穿越前的2020-2021赛季，这个数据变成了32.6和12.7，全联盟只有马刺队平均下来没能单场命中10记三分球。

But there are also 9.9.

It can be seen that the center of gravity of the alliance's offense will continue to shift to the outside in the future.

This is the trend!
The torrent of the small ball is mighty, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.

……

After shooting 200 three-pointers, a reporter asked Zhang Bolong to go over and accept an interview.

Zhang Bolong waved his hand and declined, and began training for breakthrough layups.

The trainer kept slapping him with two long jamming sticks, and there was a crackling sound on the court.

Although this strength is not too heavy, it is enough to cause a lot of interference to the players and the ball in their hands.

After making [-] baskets, Zhang Bolong ran non-stop to conduct mid-range shooting training under interference.

……

"Long, do you want to go to rest?"

Kobe walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

In the defensive training just now, Zhang Bolong was even passed by Parker twice, which is definitely not his normal state.

"It's okay, maybe you really need to rest."

Zhang Bolong smiled, applied to end, and went to the side treadmill to start running.

By jogging to adjust the state of the body, today's training is over.

After a morning of training, he personally felt the system's limitations on his ability, that is, he couldn't exert his full strength, giving people a feeling of lack of energy, in other words, he was a little "empty".

It feels like the body is being hollowed out.

But Zhang Bolong also found that the experience points he gained during exercise increased more than before.

He guessed that it was really easier to gain experience because the current value was low.

Having figured this out, Zhang Bolong finally understood why the system designed such a punishment for himself.

It's not just a punishment, it's a means of motivating and helping him to work harder and thus become stronger.

After all the training and recovery tasks were completed, Zhang Bolong walked out of the training hall, and there was a brown-haired male reporter waiting in the player tunnel.

"Hey, Long!" He waved softly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time! I'm Kamanda, a reporter from the South Los Angeles Entertainment News, and I have a small question to interview you."

"Isn't the media interview over?" Zhang Bolong glanced at the logo on his microphone, "Entertainment newspapers also interview the NBA?"

"Uh, haha, yes, but I'm a celebrity's personal issue. You know, style doesn't matter."

"Okay, what's the problem?"

"I saw the MV of Taylor Swift's new album on the Internet, and you are in it. I wonder if you and Ms. Taylor are in love?"

"Ah, nothing, I'm a fan of Miss Taylor."

"Is it really that simple? But I think—"

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

Zhang Bolong interrupted him with a wave of his hand. It turned out that he was a gossip reporter, and he didn't know how he got into the arena.

After speaking, he ignored the reporter's questioning and walked out of the training hall by himself.

Although it was a training day, Zhang Bolong didn't want to give himself a vacation, and Taylor's lunch invitation was also declined by him.

After a brief meal in the restaurant outside the training hall, he returned to the arena and soaked in the swimming pool for resistance training.

You have to work hard to make yourself stronger, and time waits for no one.

Fortunately, the opponent in the next round is not strong, so Zhang Bolong will not be at much risk of being exploded.

It is the vice president of the league - the Memphis Grizzlies.
