Chapter 287: Specialization Transformation
The lifestyle, beaches, weather, bikini beauties and the location close to Hawaii make it so charming. No matter what the purpose is, everyone wants to spend the summer in Los Angeles.
In the past, this basketball magazine had done statistics. Every summer, about 6o7o nBa players will come to Los Angeles. And this data may still grow. After all, who doesn’t want to stay in Los Angeles?
But for Anjie, the flower world in Los Angeles is not what attracted him to this place. The attractive training conditions in Los Angeles are the place where Anjie drools.
When Los Angeles enters summer, in addition to temperature, its various training camps are also the hottest time. There are so many high-quality training venues in the city, from the ucLa track and field field to the Lakers Training Center. Breakfast, swimming pool, video equipment, spa, and advanced strength training measures. There are everything here.
In addition to the venue, there are also the most top trainers, fitness consultant Ganner Peterson, Drew Hanlun and Robert McLaren who are in charge of technical training, and of course, shooting training master Mike BenPosey and ball-handling expert Johnny Stephanie.
Ganner Peterson, the main body training and the most famous private trainer in Los Angeles, is the training target arranged by Meslav for Angel.
There are countless stars who keep in touch with Peterson, and players such as Anthony, Rondo, Love have trained under him. In addition to athletes, many big names in the film industry who need to change their size will also ask him for help. This guy's first nBa client is Cote Lambis, who visited in 1994. After that, many nBa stars came here. The jerseys of these guys have been hung on his walls and even hung on the ceiling.
When Anjie knocked on the door of Peterson's house, this strong and strong guy left a deep impression on Anjie.
"Welcome, An, I've been waiting here for a long time." Peterson shook hands with An Jie enthusiastically. It was not the first time he had met the nBa star. Even compared with the brilliant names he knew, An Jie was not considered a star at all.
"I'm upset, Mr. Ganner Peterson. I think Mr. Meslav has already arranged the cut?" This is the first time Anjie has trained with someone other than basketball players. He is a little curious and nervous. What kind of tricks will Los Angeles play in what kind of personal trainer?
"Yes, your manager has already arranged for you. I have already formulated and improved your training plan. Come in and talk, let's talk slowly." Peterson entertained Angel into his house. The decoration of this house is very simple and nothing special. But the decoration inside makes Peterson's home unique.
There are many pictures of sports stars and Hollywood celebrities on the walls of Peterson's home. These decorations give Peterson's house a sporty feeling.
Anjie sat on the sand and watched the formation. Peterson sat opposite Anjie with a glass of juice.
"Let's talk about the most critical issue first. What can my training bring to you? You must want to know." Peterson said as he took out a small notebook, which should be recorded on Anjie's training plan.
"Well, tell me Mr. Peterson." Anjie knew that Meslav would not disappoint him. The trainer he was looking for must be of good quality. But Peterson actually said it straight to the point, and Anjie would rather listen carefully.
"First, I am not a special basketball coach. My field lies in physical training. In other words, during the training period with me, your basketball skills are likely not to improve at all. In terms of basketball skills, you are much better than me." Peterson said bluntly and said ugly words first.
Seeing that Anjie did not respond, Peterson continued to say. "But under my training, you will get rid of more fat, add more muscles, and your body will become stronger. I have seen many games in your game. In most cases, you rely entirely on your will to fight your opponents. In fact, your physical strength cannot allow you to complete those defenses at all. But after training under my hands, everything will be different. You will have a real advantage in your body. At that time, coupled with your tenacious will, I think few people can easily pass your level."
When An Jie heard this, his eyes shone, he suddenly became interested. He was very concerned about his strength and physical training, but compared with technical training, the results he received in this area were very small. Now, maybe this guy can really help him solve this problem.
"This is just the first point. In addition to those, your movement, your jumping height, your transverse movement, and your agility will be improved to varying degrees. Believe me, this is not difficult, just use the right method." Peterson confidently picked up his hand, and saw An Jie's expectant expression, he knew that this guy must be moved.
Can Anjie not be moved? In the Tornado team, Divac trained himself in the center skills and Ricard taught himself to read the game. But what about the physical aspects? Ricard only asked the assistant coach to give Anjie a weight gain recipe, so he let Anjie go to the free exhibition. This is not that Ricard is not dedicated, but that he really doesn't have a deep fortune in this aspect. It's impossible for a coach to cover everything and understand everything.
Miraculously, Anjie successfully improved his physical condition without anyone's guidance. But Anjie's desperate training is definitely a way to achieve half the result with twice the effort. If it weren't for Divac's timely correction, Anjie might have ruined himself.
When entering nBa, the training is more systematic and professional, but it is not something that several team trainers can do casually. Most of the time, nBa trainers are tasked with maintaining the players' condition and health, rather than improving. And more often, team training focuses on tactics and techniques. Body? Either you are born strong like James, or you just work hard in the summer.
Therefore, even after entering nBa, Anjie would have moved his body functions and crossed the river. The trainers of the Thunder team occasionally accompanied him to train and occasionally gave him advice. But he was never a private trainer. Without long-term plans and testing, their training effect was minimal.
Now, there are finally a real professional in this field to train himself, and this is a veritable private training. In this month, Peterson has no second client, and he will give all his services to Angel.
Afterwards, Anjie and Peterson discussed the training plan. The two quickly reached a consensus and waited for the next day to officially start training.
Among them, Peterson and Anjie determined the weight control. He seriously asked Anjie about whether he wanted to maintain weight or increase weight. Weight is a double-edged sword for inside players. Unless you are an abnormal O'Neal, the consequence of too high tonnage is a great sacrifice of flexibility. Look at Yao Ming and you will know the benefits and disadvantages of weight gain.
After the discussion, An Jie decided to gain weight, but only increased to 7 kilograms and kept it there. In this way, An Jie could be very strong and more powerful. However, it would not have any impact on his flexibility and speed.
After setting all his goals, An Jie got his wish and started his dream body transformation plan. However, the person who transformed him this time would be a very professional person.
Peterson said that he would not force Angel to participate in training. This guy knows the virtues of nBa stars. In the city of Los Angeles, it is simply normal for stars to miss yi twice to train.
But what surprised Peterson was that a week passed, and Anjie was present without exception except for the two days of rest in the planned period. And every day, Anjie would start warming up half an hour in advance.
Anjie arrives at eight o'clock every day, and Peterson will get up at five o'clock to prepare for today's training. He didn't expect that Anjie will take this training as seriously as he did!
Bicycle pedals, pool training, battle ropes, balance trainers, solid balls, steps and even boxing and beach practice... Peterson has everything planned for Anjie. Although there are no training directly related to basketball, this is very effective for transforming Anjie's body.
Every day, Peterson and Anjie will train for seven hours continuously. After each training, Peterson will also do physical therapy for Anjie, confirming that he will not harm his health due to high-intensity training.
With the joint efforts of the two, Anjie achieved obvious results. His muscles became stronger and bigger, and his whole body looked like a big circle. Of course, don’t think that Anjie’s degree would slow down in this way. His running and horizontal movements were faster than before, and his bounce increased slightly.
In the past, after Anjie took off his shirt, he gave Peterson more of a "rib bone". But now, if Anjie takes off his shirt, he will definitely give people the feeling of a "muscular man". Now, training vests will always be tightened by Anjie. In addition to nearby, Anjie has also trained his chest muscles that were not before. Of course, the changes on his arms are even more obvious. Just looking at his arms and body is enough to make people drool.
It was precisely because of this gratifying result that Anjie "renewed" with Peterson for another half a month. He postponed the round with the national team and was immersed in the training arranged for him by Peterson.
Of course, as the player's body changes greatly, his feeling of playing basketball will be completely different. Therefore, although Peterson does not teach Anjie to play basketball, Anjie himself has not relaxed in improving this aspect. In addition to training on his own on the off days, Anjie also found Drew Hanlun to train for four days to hone his skills. Although the effect is definitely not as good as last year's Olajuwon training camp, Anjie has maintained his sense of ball and will not regress because of his physical transformation.
In a month and a half, Anjie has not been to any high-end nightclub in Los Angeles, nor has he had a tryst with any hot beauties who come to his house. In addition to having two meals with Kobe and Westbrook, Anjie has been training himself in a regular manner almost every day.
Seven hours of physical training during the day, two hours of physical therapy at noon, and three hours of ball training in the afternoon. At night, eat the recipes prescribed by Peterson, and then rest in the hotel by yourself to keep your body in shape.
In the past month and a half, Anjie came over day after day. To outsiders, Anjie's boring life was simply a waste of time in Los Angeles. But for Anjie, this is what really allowed him to achieve his goal of coming to Los Angeles.
From the official start of training on July 2, to the official end of training on August 4, Anjie has achieved almost all the established goals, and his body has truly become faster and stronger than before.
In addition, spending time with Peterson day and night for a long time also allowed the two to establish a deep friendship. Peterson even gave Anjie a 60% discount on the training fee in the second half of the month.
Although it is not as expensive as the sky-high price of Dameng Training Camp, Anjie spent about 80,000 US dollars in just one month and a half of training. But like the whole year, Anjie felt that the money was worth the money.
"You are no longer the same as when I first saw you." Peterson looked at his subordinates proudly and had a successful result. Although Anjie has not said to have reached the level of Howard and O'Neal, he is strong and has absolutely nothing to do with his thinness.
"Thank you Peterson. To be honest, I didn't expect the training to be so successful." An Jie looked at the changes in his life happily. Now that he wants him to defend Gasol, wouldn't that be easy?
"Don't forget, if you want to keep this state, you can't relax. Okay, at the end of the night, I'll take you to a good place for dinner." Peterson patted Anjie's back, which seemed to be stronger and thicker than before.
The next morning, Anjie said goodbye to Peterson and boarded a flight to the country. He postponed the reconciliation with the national team, and the Basketball Association was a little unhappy. However, due to Anjie's importance to the team, they were not easy to express it directly. But if they went there a few days later, it would be of no benefit to both sides.
He left Los Angeles again, but this time, Anjie left with the joy of victory.
At the World Championships in Türkiye, Anjie really wants to see how much his body can do on the field...
