[Introduction] With the increase of age, the aging of physical skills and the reduction of competitive ability are a very natural law.
However, in order to reduce the rate of degradation of competitive ability, NBA players will strengthen their own training. The 37-year-old Spurs legendary center Duncan has a coup.
There are many models of hard training in the NBA, and Kobe is a representative figure.
Duncan is also a training madman, but “Stone Buddha” is very low-key, and rarely talks about how he sweats profusely on weekdays.
In the 2010-2011 season, Duncan’s scoring average dropped to a career-low 13.4 points, and in the 2011-2012 season, it was 15.4 points.
Duncan, whose competitive state was seriously declining, found boxing champion Rega and asked Rega to give him special training.
In the 2012-13 season, he averaged 17.8 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game. At the age of 37, he was selected to the first team of the best team and led the Spurs to the finals.
However, the Spurs lost to the Heat in the final tiebreaker and missed the championship, but this must have become the main motivation for Duncan to accept hard training again this summer.
Coach Rega has been full of praise for Duncan’s training.
“You know, he is already a superstar, but he is very focused in training,” Rega said. “Even if there is a little mistake, he has to correct it very seriously. Many times I advise him not to care too much about the subtleties.”
He made a mistake, but he firmly stated that it is not possible, and it must be done in the correct way. Our training must be satisfactory to him before we can stop. I have never seen this kind of enthusiasm for work.” “Once we conducted an outdoor
In training, he practiced in the sun for 30 minutes without any rest,” Rega continued. “I advised him not to practice like this, but he just wanted to challenge himself and hope to be stronger. That was crazy.”
Facts have proved that success cannot be achieved easily, only sweat can create brilliance.
