Chapter 9 Embiid, Baker
"Little Tang Tang!" Embiid's huge body stuck to Tang Yin with a thud, hugged Tang Yin and turned around, and the people who watched this movement felt chills!
"My God...what's wrong with this...Embiid can't be...so what?" Looking at Tang Yin who was being picked up by Embiid and spinning in place, the corners of Junjie's mouth kept twitching. De's impression plummeted.

Yun Chen also swallowed her saliva and subconsciously took a step back: "Could it be that Old Tang brought it here?"

"Joel! Let me go! You're strangling me!" Embiid is a black inside player, and he is already very strong, so his arms are amazingly strong. Tang Yin was squeezed by him He rolled his eyes so hard.

Moreover, Embiid has been exercising for an hour, his body is covered in sweat, and the suffocating smell also caused a critical blow to Tang Yin!
"Hahahaha, you're too thin, little Tangtang, it's fine if I hug you like this." Embiid laughed twice, and then put Tang Yin down, but in the end he didn't forget to pat him on the butt , This action made the stomachs of several people turn upside down again.

"Puff... cough cough cough!" Tang Yin, who finally returned to the ground, couldn't help coughing for a long time, and asked Embiid angrily, "How did you find me?"

Embiid blinked at him when he heard the words, with a smug expression on his face: "Your agent told me that he is too good at lying, I just lied to him twice and he told the truth, hahaha !"

Tang Yin: "..."

"Introduce me to your friends." After playing around, Embiid became serious. He nodded to the four people next to him, and then looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin rolled his eyes again before introducing a few people with great reluctance: "These are the brothers I told you that I was with..."

But as soon as Tang Yin opened his mouth, before he even started to introduce, Embiid pushed him aside again, and stretched out his hand to Xu Qianxiang: "You are Xu Qianxiang, the little point guard of the Lakers, I think Over your game, you pass the ball so well! Interested in coming to the 76ers?"

Xu Qianxiang was instantly embarrassed, but he also held his hand politely: "You... hello."

"And you, Zheng Ye! I have also watched several of your games. Although your offense is not good, your defense is quite good! It can barely reach half of my level, but it is still quite good! Do you want to Come to the 76ers? I will attack you and defend, and we will definitely blow everyone!"

"Oh, by the way, Yuan Junjie, I like you very much! Your offense around the basket makes me feel like I saw Yao Ming back then! I like you so much, are you interested in joining the 76ers and forming an invincible combination inside?"

"Wow, Li Yunchen! You don't talk and I haven't noticed you. You know, after watching your first game, I told our management that they must find a way to get you here. It can't wait. Your rookie contract is over and I signed you, your style of play really matches me!"

……

Embiid seemed to open up his chatterbox all of a sudden, grabbing the hands of the four people in turn was called a kindness, and the saliva from his mouth sprayed three feet away. His love for the four people can be described as The torrential river flowed continuously, and the few people who looked at it were stunned for a while, and those who didn't know thought he and these people were brothers of different races!
"So...he came to recruit us?" Yun Chen blinked and whispered to Xu Qianxiang.

Xu Qianxiang: "Eh...it doesn't look...it looks like it."

After talking to the four of them about his ideals in life and the bright future after joining the 76ers, Embiid finally put his focus on Tang Yin again, regardless of Tang Yin's willingness or not, he directly pulled him Going beyond the three-point line and starting to practice shooting, the speed of the change made several people feel like they were on a roller coaster.

In this way, Embiid appeared inexplicably, and inexplicably joined the group training that originally belonged to the five of them.

As for his "relationship history" with Tang Yin, it can be traced back to the day of the draft.It was Embiid who was represented by the 76ers on draft night.Originally, the management didn't plan to choose Tang Yin. After all, they already had Redick with a big contract on the back line, but in the end they chose Tang Yin under Embiid's strong request.

Therefore, since Tang Yin joined the 76ers, Embiid took special care of him, to the point where Tang Yin felt a little... greasy.

However, Embiid has his intentions in doing this. Redick's aging and scandal-ridden (insulting the Chinese incident) are extremely detrimental to the future development of the team.At this time, it is necessary to have a young and capable player to join, and Tang Yin is such a powerful immediate combat force that can be plugged and played.

Therefore, the relationship between Embiid and Tang Yin is very good. He even regards Tang Yin as an indispensable part of the future team's championship, which shows how much he attaches importance to.

And the trainer who came with Embiid today turned out to be a very powerful figure.

Ganon Baker.

This is a very famous basketball trainer in the American basketball circle.Some fans may feel a little unfamiliar with this name, but if you name some players he has trained, you may understand how famous his name is.

His students are all over the basketball circle around the world. Basketball players from NBA, WNBA, NBDL, NCAA and even European basketball circles have all received his professional training. Among them, the big-name stars from the NBA include former Lakers "Little Shark" Andrew Byner Tom, former Suns star Amal Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler, Warriors' Kevin Durant, dunk king Gerald Greenfell boss Steve Francis, Pacers TJ Ford of the Raptors, Jerry Bayless of the Raptors, and JR Smith of the Cavaliers.

It can be said that his professionalism and teaching methods have been personally tested by many basketball superstars!Among the basketball trainers, he is definitely one of the best!
This summer, he accepted Embiid's private invitation and will conduct one-on-one guidance with him for more than a month.

But today, Embiid brought Beck here, obviously wanting to practice together with them. Of course, he will definitely not pay the venue fee. According to him, he will bear the cost of the trainer, Beck alone. , so that neither side loses money.

But in fact, everyone in Yunchen understood that Baker was originally one-on-one, and the sudden addition of students would definitely increase the fee. The fee of this top coach is not usually high.

At the moment, several people's impression of Embiid has been greatly changed. As rookies, they don't have so much money to hire Baker. Embiid can be said to be very considerate.

Although... he was really a bit broken-mouthed.

The first day of training started in such an inexplicable atmosphere.Since it was the first day, Baker didn't make a different training plan for everyone, so they all had the same shooting practice in the morning.

Baker first asked each of them to shoot once, carefully observed everyone's shooting movements, and then gave detailed instructions one by one.

His analysis is in place, and he has discovered some small problems in almost everyone's shooting.

Yunchen's shooting moves were specially learned from Curry, so his movements are very similar to Curry's.

But Baker shook his head again and again after seeing it.

"Do you know why Curry's shot is much faster than yours for the same action?" Baker asked such a question.

Yun Chen was immediately stunned by the question. He knew that his shooting was slower than Curry, but he had never thought about this question carefully.

"Curry only needs 0.3 seconds from receiving the ball to shooting, but you, I'm afraid it takes close to 1 second. This gap is very big. You only learned the shape of his shooting, but you didn't grasp the most core thing. "Baker said.

Yun Chen blinked and didn't know how to answer this sentence. He just looked at the ball in his hand, and then kept thinking about Curry's shooting action.

"Show me a shot." Baker pouted and pointed to the basket.

Yun Chen didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and shot directly after standing still, "shua" a long-distance two-pointer.

"Have you found anything?"

Yun Chen shook his head, he still feels good about shooting, even though he still doesn't shoot fast.

Baker shook his head, then picked up a ball on the ground and began to demonstrate.

"When you shoot, you press your wrist first, then you choose to press your forearm after the wrist press is over, and finally you push the shot, isn't that right?"

Yun Chen frowned, and then he shot again, this time he slowed down to observe, and sure enough, as he said, he did press his wrist first, then his arm, and finally pushed out.

"And Curry's shooting..." Baker continued at this time, "the wrist and the forearm are pressed at the same time, so his shot is inherently faster than others. Don't underestimate this difference. Put it in the statistics. Come on, it will be at least 0.4 seconds!" Baker said seriously.

Yun Chen opened his mouth wide and looked at Baker speechless. This trainer is indeed very good. His understanding of shooting is much better than himself.And it can be seen that he also has a deep study of Curry, otherwise it would be impossible to see such a subtle difference.

"Understood?" Seeing Yun Chen who was in a daze, Baker smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then ignored Yun Chen and walked towards Xu Qianxiang on the other side.

Looking at the back of Baker walking away, the corners of Yunchen's mouth could not help but rise, suddenly full of anticipation for this summer's training!
