The training on the plateau is really hard.Many people who are unwell, let alone doing high-intensity physical exercise on the plateau, even if they go there for a while, they will not be able to bear it.
Xie Kai's current body is different from that of ordinary people, and he is fine on the plateau, but he also struggles with such high-intensity exercise.In order to be able to improve himself, he is also gritting his teeth and persevering.Several times, I almost vomited, but I still didn't give up.
Trainer Steve Jones admires Xie Kai's tenacity very much. He knows that in order to succeed and become the top group of players in the basketball pyramid, it is impossible to be less ruthless to himself.
The training is still effective. Xie Kai went from being unable to withstand such high-intensity training on the plateau to being able to withstand it later on. This is a huge improvement.If you can withstand such high-intensity training on the plateau, you will be in better physical condition when you return to the plains.
This kind of training continued until the end of October. Xie Kai finished this round of high altitude training and returned to Memphis.
After these rounds of training, Xie Kai feels that his body is very comfortable, his physical fitness is better than before, and his strength has improved.He deliberately checked his quality, and his physical fitness value has increased from 75 to 83.This proves that this crazy training is still very effective.In addition to physical fitness, the basic strength has increased from 53 to the current 63, a full increase of 10 points, and the increase is not small.What excites him the most is that his back-up technique has been raised from 25 to 35!
You must know that Xie Kai's value had only increased from 21 to 25 when he finished the training session of Dameng, but now it has suddenly increased by 10 points, which surprised him very much.
Thinking of what Dameng said at the end of the lecture, Xie Kai finally understood the true meaning of these words.
Just talk without practicing fake moves, practice makes perfect, these principles of Chinese culture are really so reasonable!
After Xie Kai experienced a crazy training session, he gradually reduced the amount of training.In the words of trainer Jones: "Overtraining can easily lead to injury, and it is not conducive to improvement."
And here, the NBA lockout is still going on, and there are no signs of stopping in sight.
Many NBA players have gone overseas to seek gold. According to ESPN statistics, there are currently 70 players playing overseas.Most of these people signed their contracts with an opt-out option in their contracts.Once the NBA lockout ends, they can immediately terminate the contract with the team and return to the United States to prepare for the new season.
In early November, Xie Kai returned to his home in Los Angeles for two days, and then went to Michigan to shoot an advertisement for the Jeep car he endorsed.
Xie Kai's mood is quite calm, although there are rumors that the NBA may continue to be suspended like this, and it is even possible that the possession will not end.If this is the case, then his own commercial value will definitely shrink, and there should not be any merchants in the United States looking for him to endorse.
But Xie Kai thinks that it is impossible for the NBA to remain suspended forever, at most one year, and it will definitely reopen.Even if it shuts down forever, you don't have to feel like it's the end of the world.Not only the United States has a basketball league. As long as you have the strength, you can continue your basketball dream anywhere.
The labor and management sides have actually been negotiating, but no agreement has been reached. This is one of the reasons why Xie Kai thinks it is possible to play this season.
However, on November 2011, 11, NBA player representatives and the executive committee of the trade union jointly decided to refuse to accept the new proposal of the management, and the labor negotiations broke down.Since then, the executive committee has also sent an open letter to the players.
This is not good news, but there has been no sign of agreement before, so no matter how bad the news is, it can't be bad.
The good news finally came. On November 11, after 26 hours of negotiations, both employers and employees finally announced that they had reached an agreement, ending the long lockout that lasted 15 days.If all goes well, the new season will officially kick off on December 149, US time, and the free market and training camp will start on December 12 at the same time.
Xie Kai was very happy, because although the new season was late, he was not absent after all.His choice was correct. If he didn't play in the CBA, he wouldn't have to worry about jumping out of the contract and enduring psychological struggle and external pressure.
Such a long suspension of the NBA will cause great harm to both labor and management.Take NBA superstar Kobe Bryant as an example. Not surprisingly, the new season will start on December 12, and the training camp for the new season will start on December 26. The regular season will retain 12 games.Then he will be the player whose interests are most damaged in the new season.Because his salary for the new season is as high as 9 million US dollars, based on 66 regular season games, he will lose 2524.4 million US dollars!
What is the concept of 492 million US dollars?The total value of Xie Kai's rookie contract is 4 years and 500 million US dollars...
Of course, the NBA is undoubtedly the bigger victim.According to the attendance rate of last season, their loss in ticket revenue alone in the new season will be as high as 1.6 million US dollars.If the income from food and related souvenirs in the arena is added, their losses will be even greater.
In this lockout, the biggest losses are precisely the most profitable teams and the highest paid stars.
The lockout is basically over. Although the free market has not yet officially opened, NBA teams are already preparing for the new season.
In the current formation of the Grizzlies, the core players basically have contracts, and the main players who need to renew their contracts are Xie Kai and Xiao Jiasao.
The team's main point guard, Mike Conley, the No. 2007 pick in the 4 class, has successfully renewed his contract with the team ahead of last year's renewal deadline.His new contract lasts for 5 years, plus bonuses reached 4500 million U.S. dollars; the main small forward Rudy Gay, reached a 5-year contract extension with a total value of 8230 million U.S. dollars with the team in the offseason last year; The team's main power forward, Zach Randolph, signed with the team on April 4 this year with a total value of 21 million US dollars for 4 years, of which 7100 million US dollars are guaranteed, and 6600 million per year In terms of awards, the fourth year is a player option.
The difference from Xie Kai is that although Xiao Jiasao was a rookie in 2007, he only landed in the NBA in 2008.Considering that he was a second-round rookie, he signed a 3-year contract with the team.Now that his contract is up, he's a restricted free agent.According to the news on June 6, according to the "Memphis Business Call", the Grizzlies have officially offered an offer contract for the team's center Marc Gasol. At that time, he became a restricted free agent.
Xiaojiasao has made rapid progress in the Grizzlies' three years, and is now the team's absolute main center.His performance this season is obvious to all. As long as the competitors do not offer abnormal contracts, the home team will definitely still be inclined to keep him.
