One Year Left to Play-Chapter 106 - 33: Advice for Domestic Players
Zhang Hao silently confirmed in his heart, and the subtitle content changed.
"Special contract player Zhang Hao has significantly improved his comprehension ability in static strength training during strength training. He will more easily understand his physical condition and will be clearer about the content he needs to train next. Muscle nutrient absorption efficiency, digestive system nutrient absorption efficiency, recovery ability... all have significantly improved. Static strength training efficiency has greatly improved until the static confrontation assessment is raised to 90."
Seeing this prompt, coupled with the experience of using the Mid-range Growth Card last time, Zhang Hao knew that using this card, training would certainly not just increase static strength. If training can also enhance explosiveness and other aspects, there would definitely be more or less improvement. Of course, the primary focus should be on improving the content of targeted training, while improvements in other areas will just happen to be practiced as needed for static strength.
Additionally, last time Zhang Hao used the Mid-range Growth Card and discovered that not only did his Mid-range Shot evaluation improve, but he also became better at practicing Mid-range Shots. If he were to teach others how to practice Mid-range Shots, he would definitely be able to do it!
Perhaps this is another function of the Growth Card, giving him an advantage when coaching. He not only knows how to train but has also practiced it himself. From another perspective, this Growth Card nurtures players not only in playing basketball but also considers their post-retirement career. After retiring, the best profession for players is definitely a coach or trainer, continuing to shine in the team.
"It’s really a damn perfect system for becoming a coach..."
After Zhang Hao complained to himself, he said to his junior who had waited so long and earned an hourly wage for nothing, "Jason, let’s start. Help me keep count."
Jason Hart, Zhang Hao’s junior who is a year and a half younger, will be in senior high next semester. He is the hope of the school team after Zhang Hao and Pierce graduated. During his sophomore year, Jason Hart became a starter, averaging 12.3 points and 4.6 assists per game. Although he is not tall, his skills are excellent, and he is one of the teammates with whom Zhang Hao cooperated very well on the school team.
There is an opportunity to earn money and train with Zhang Hao. The school certainly gave this chance to Jason Hart, whose family situation is not very good and is the future pillar of the school team, as they are familiar.
Jason Hart doesn’t need to do much, just help with counting during equipment training, prepare the equipment for use, put it away after training, and assist in throwing balls and retrieving them during shooting practice. The training itself is done by Zhang Hao, and Jason Hart can’t really help much.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be at this rate.
On the contrary, the new coach of Inglewood High School, Elvin Hayes, let Jason Hart learn more from Zhang Hao on how to practice shooting.
This time with strength training, from the very beginning, Zhang Hao felt the difference compared to previous training!
The training seemed similar, but in terms of details, every movement he practiced, which parts to exert strength, the timing of each movement, and breathing methods... were all easy to pinpoint where he did not perform well before and made adjustments.
The most direct feeling is becoming more tired! The more efficient the training, the more fatigued the muscle groups that need to be trained!
Emphasis is placed on training the waist, abdominal, and back muscles, as static confrontation is largely related to core strength.
minutes of strength training was more exhausting than Zhang Hao’s two-hour training sessions with Pierce!
Clearly, it was effective!
However, initially engaging in more professional and efficient training, Zhang Hao felt deeply fatigued after one hour.
After resting for a few minutes and regaining breath, Zhang Hao wasted no time and went to the training field for shooting practice.
Practicing shooting amidst the sensation of muscle tearing allows adaptation to muscle changes, otherwise merely training muscles might affect shooting once strength improves.
One hour of strength training, three major sets with three small sets each, with 100 fixed-point mid-range shots in each small set. Zhang Hao felt much more tired than usual and didn’t push himself, ending today’s training.
From warm-up to training completion, it took nearly 3 hours. This was the first time engaging in such a professional strength training, and Zhang Hao knew he wasn’t accustomed yet. Once his body gradually adapts to this kind of training, he will perform better, which also signifies his body’s improvement!
