Because of the exchange for physical recovery speed, his attribute panel attributes didn't change.

It seems that this skill can only be felt in training and actual combat.

He drove directly to the team's training gym.

To his surprise, there was already someone in the gym.

Pushing in, he found Leonard training alone.

In his previous life, Leonard was selected for the All-Star rookie game in his rookie season.

However, because of Tang Tian, his playing time and status in the Spurs were compressed, so he didn't make it to Orlando this time.

So when he saw Leonard in the training gym, Tang Tian felt a little embarrassed.

Since they both entered the Spurs, Leonard's impression on him was actually pretty good.

Although he wasn't good at communicating with others, he trained hard in private and didn't have any bad habits.

Leonard looked surprised to see Tang Tian, after all, the All-Star Game had just ended, and Tang Tian was already at the training gym for extra practice.

"What are you doing here?"

This time it was Leonard who asked the question. The two of them had gone to get their hair done a few times, which improved their relationship a lot, and Leonard would take the initiative to chat with Tang Tian.

"Couldn't sleep, came to practice."

Tang Tian said casually as he explained.

Leonard nodded and then continued to train on his own.

Tang Tian's training program was no different from usual, except that he increased the amount by about 20% compared to normal.

As a result, he didn't feel tired throughout the entire training process, but felt even more relaxed than usual!

It seems that this Hamilton's skill is really invisible, but extremely practical!

After he finished training, he rested on the sidelines, then turned his attention to Leonard.

Leonard was doing three-point and layup training. Because Ingle didn't come, his training program looked a bit simple and boring.

After a while, Leonard finished practicing and also sat down to rest on the sidelines.

"Was Orlando fun?"

Leonard asked after taking a sip of water.

Tang Tian turned his head and saw a trace of longing in his eyes.

This guy, who was silent most of the time, wasn't really mature and steady, he just wouldn't easily express his thoughts in front of others.

"It was fun, but just so-so. I heard that next year's game will be held in Houston, and Houston is much more lively than Orlando."

Tang Tian said.

Leonard nodded after listening, then smiled helplessly, looking like he felt he might not have a chance to go.

Tang Tian saw this expression and knew that not going to Orlando this time was a bit of a blow to him.

This wasn't good news for the Spurs.

Leonard's defensive ability was still very important to the Spurs, especially when facing heavy forwards like James.

After all, Tang Tian's current weight wasn't a match for James.

Plus, he felt a little embarrassed for taking Leonard's opportunity, so he decided to give him some pointers.

"Do you like Kobe?"

Tang Tian asked suddenly.

"Kobe?"

Leonard thought for a moment and nodded. From his reaction, it was clear that he didn't like him, but he shouldn't be against him either.

Tang Tian knew that things would be easy when he saw his reaction.

"Kawhi, I have a suggestion."

Tang Tian said at this moment.

Leonard looked at Tang Tian in confusion. He had very little contact with other people in the Spurs. The most contact he had with Tang Tian was when they got their hair done together.

In fact, Tang Tian should be the one he had the best relationship with in the Spurs, so he was willing to listen when Tang Tian spoke.

"What you need to do now, compared to training, I think you should determine a shooting form.

Everyone has a suitable form, but it's definitely not the one you have now."

Leonard's defense was great, but his offense was unreliable, whether it was in the NCAA or when he came to the Spurs.

Although his shooting percentage had improved through training, the increase was very small.

This was also the reason why he had few opportunities in the Spurs. If Tang Tian hadn't come, then Popovich would have used Leonard's defense, and he would have had to play him even if he didn't want to.

Now that he had a choice, Popovich naturally wouldn't do that.

"You want me to learn from Kobe?"

Leonard wasn't stupid.

Tang Tian nodded.

"Kobe's shooting form is very similar to Michael Jordan's, or rather, Kobe is imitating Jordan.

But whether it's Kobe or Jordan, their shooting form has a characteristic, which is a one-handed shoulder shot with the right hand.

It's not easy to be blocked, and it's also convenient to combine with other technical movements."

What Tang Tian said was what Procopio had told him back then.

It's just that this kind of shooting has a requirement for the control of the ball, or rather the size of the palm. His palm is small, and it's not suitable for this kind of shooting method.

But Leonard is the opposite. His palm is surprisingly big, and this kind of shooting method is the most suitable for him.

"I haven't thought about that."

Leonard said.

No player would specifically think about these details. Basically, they just do what's convenient, which is the help that a top trainer can give.

"You can try it, and I think you can also try to learn Kobe's post-up technique. Your palm is big, you can control the ball well, and it will be very suitable for you."

Tang Tian continued.

Although Leonard's body type is a small forward, he has excellent hand and body coordination. He has the physical conditions to learn Kobe's techniques.

Tang Tian's suggestions can be said to be completely tailored to the situation.

"I'll give it a try."

Leonard thought for a moment and nodded.

He was a little confused now, and Tang Tian's advice gave him a direction.

Tang Tian smiled and patted Leonard on the shoulder.

It was one thing for him to be willing to give pointers, and another for Leonard to be willing to listen and try.

Just like what he did to Yi Jianlian back then, whether it will have an effect or not still depends on themselves.

The All-Star Game was a dividing point in the season. The Spurs had achieved a good record before the All-Star Game.

But if they really wanted to get a better position in the playoffs, they had to continue to work hard after the All-Star Game.

After a day of training in San Antonio, the Spurs once again boarded the plane to Oklahoma City.

They would once again face the Thunder on the road, but this time it wasn't a preseason game, but a serious regular season game.

Even this wasn't an ordinary regular season game.

Although the Spurs were ranked first in the West, they were only half a game ahead of the second-ranked Thunder. The outcome of this game would determine who was the first in the West again.

In other words, this was a serious battle for position.

Of course, in addition to this, what fans were looking forward to even more was the matchup between Tang Tian and Durant.

After losing the three-point contest in the All-Star Game, Durant had already declared on Twitter that he would beat up the so-called "Godfather."
