After getting up and washing up, Zhang Hao came to the outdoor basketball court to continue practicing his defensive footwork.
Recently, his defensive practice mainly includes three components: footwork movement when Campbell is substituted and he goes to the paint for defense, footwork for guarding a player as a starting small forward, and the details of switching defense and helping trap.
If all these skills are combined, it's quite challenging to link them like Antonio McDyess or Garnett, but James Worthy doesn't teach such complexity. His approach is to focus on single exercises, letting Zhang Hao accumulate experience gradually during games.
Yesterday they just had a game, and it was a home-and-away back-to-back. Magician won't be training at the gym today, so James Worthy can rightfully take a day off, but Mr. Zhang doesn't slack off and continues with his training.
