“Tell me something about Zeus. Did he play basketball at school?”餐桌上，刘子如兴致勃勃问八村。这个皮肤黝黑的小伙子露出雪白的牙齿笑道：“Zeus used to be the Zeus of our team. I say he has the talent in basketball.”如果当年朱泽楷不是因伤退赛，或许那年华大能在他的带领下进入西部联赛决赛。八村有些惋惜。
“你以前也是校队的？”刘子如有些惊讶。“算是稀里糊涂被拖进来的。”朱泽楷揉揉后脑勺，指着对面的八村道：“Ask him.”毕竟当年就是八村这个傻瓜把自己生拉硬拽进了华大男子篮球队。
八村窃笑一声：“Haha. I bet you have no idea how great this guy was. I still remember it was a Friday night， when we just finished training， Zeus went to the court and started shooting. Honestly， I didn’t notice him at first， until this freak made ten 3 pointers， constantly! I mean 10， 100%， unstop shot!”
“I stopped， for water.”朱泽楷纠正道。“Well yeah， you stopped for the damn ball too.”八村调侃道。“I was blessed then， it's nothing special.”朱泽楷谦虚道。“All right， you know the saying， this is 10% luck， 20% skill，15% concentrated power of will， 5% pleasure and 50% pain.”“Correct， luck results from hard work.”刘子如补充道。“Definitely. I’ve never seen such a...a monster like Zeus. You should look at his training schedule.”八村将手机里一张照片递给刘子如看。

“Wait! You still keep it? After centuries?”朱泽楷没想到自己当年随手写给八村的一张纸，他竟然还留着。“Coz you are the second best Asian basketball player in my heart.”八村自豪地拍拍胸脯。“Who is the first?”刘子如追问。“Himself.”朱泽楷笑道。“bingo~”八村露出了雪白的牙齿，上面还粘着一片薄荷叶。
“I thought you guys eat a loooot.”刘子如看着八村盘子里可怜的一点吃食。朱泽楷解释道：“No game no main.大多的NBA球员都会选择少吃多餐，事实上他们每天摄入的热量都是经过严格计算，所以东西虽然不多，但足以给运动员足够的能量。当然，像詹姆斯这样自律到有些病态的球员毕竟是少数。据说在非比赛日里，詹姆斯基本上是没有主食可以吃。”“厉害了！我感觉我如果不吃米饭会死的。那么大一个小伙子，吃这么一点点草料真的没关系么？”刘子如开始替素未谋面的詹姆斯担心起来。
朱泽楷笑笑：“草料？人家又不是牛。虽然他那一餐摄入的确实不多。”“強いのは自分に厳しいからです。NBAというご飯をしっかり持ちたいなら、選手はこのまま続けなければなりません。”八村叹了一口气，默默啃了一口手里的面包。
“Because the NBA schedule is crazy. It’s not the kind of sport that only plays one game a week -- sometimes we play four games in five nights， probably in four cities. So in this case， you can do whatever you want. Another tricky problem is that your sleep time can also be shattered， and sometimes you have to go to bed at 2 or 3 am. So it gives players a bad habit， we can only get what we have.”
“但是我看CBA的球员生活就比较...不一样。”刘子如喝了一口奶昔。朱泽楷解释道：“CBA球员的生活与NBA球员之所以不同有着一个基础原因——CBA球员平时是不回家的，就算主场比赛时，球队同样为球员准备了集体宿舍，通常两人一间，赛季期间想离队需要向球队申请。所以CBA球员的日常训练与生活与球队有脱不开的联系，这与NBA强调的私人团队有着很大区别。”
“他们平时训练量也很大嘛？”刘子如继续问。“这个是相对的。客观而言，中国国家队和省队的训练量都不算小。我一个朋友在CBA辽宁队。他跟我说，一般早上7点多所有球员就会起床并在球队公寓吃早饭。9点左右球队就将开始一天的训练。早晨的训练基本是是投篮、脚步之类的技术训练，外加力量训练。下午4点开始实战对抗，一般是一天打一个满场。”
“Hachimula，tell us something about your daily training at NBA?”朱泽楷问坐在对面正大嚼着刘子如口中草料一样的沙拉的八村。“Well...at NBA， Americans put more emphasis on individual role in training， so there is not much they can say about team training， just once in the morning and afternoon， sometimes only once. We mainly talk about personal training in peacetime. Most NBA players， even those at the end of the bench， employ their own trainers， who will be responsible for the daily training of their players systematically. Because there is no dormitory in the NBA， it is not fixed when players get up， but they usually get up very early (for example， the 4 o'clock tale in Los Angeles).”八村说罢，拿起面前的果汁喝了一口。
“在NBA打球的中国人，我好像就认识姚明、易建联和林书豪。”刘子如歪着小脑袋搜肠刮肚了半天。“严格意义上将讲，林书豪不算中国人。虽然台湾是祖国不可分割的一部分，但是他其实是美国国籍，而且这个月才签了北京首钢，作为外援。”“这样啊...反正我只知道他是学霸。”
“你可能不知道美国几乎所有学校都有体育队，很多学生就是靠体育成绩拿到名校通行证的。当然，林疯狂确实算是NBA球员里面学习最好的，估计也是目前哈佛打篮球最好的学生。”之前报道说，他每天早上6点30起床，7点30开始训练。不是恢复为主，直接就是全场对抗。中午去健身房力量训练两个小时。下午三点开始训练单项能力，5点回家。”
“Speaking of Butler， what the heck is wrong with him?”朱泽楷忽然想起森林狼从前的王牌巴特勒。“Butler is a time bomb recognized by the NBA. When he's happy， he'll fight for the team to the last minute. You don't have to worry about his efforts and efforts at all. But when you're not happy， he's tough and absolutely got to work out a result and fight for your life and death. As long as he is unhappy， he will break the contract. Problem is that， you have no idea when this dude is unhappy.”八村耸了耸肩。
“巴特勒？”刘子如一边啃着胡萝卜一边问。“在17-18赛季常规赛1里，有巴特勒的情况下，森林狼队战绩37胜22负胜率62.7%，没有巴特勒的情况下，森林狼队战绩10胜13负胜率43.4%，有没有巴特勒，森林狼队是2支球队，若不是在常规赛巴特勒火线复出，17-18赛季他们估计连季后赛都进不去...由于巴特勒的存在，时隔13个赛季之后森林狼队首次进入季后赛，他的存在不敢说大概率能带来总冠军，至少有巴特勒的森林狼队可以争一争季后赛的位置，这样有助于保住锡伯杜主帅的位置，毕竟巴特勒是锡伯杜的弟子，毕竟巴特勒是锡伯杜交易过来的球星。现在想要让巴特勒更有价值，那么挽回巴特勒、让巴特勒参加季前赛就是最好的选择，无论未来森林狼队是否还会交易巴特勒，先让他看起来不是那么非走不可，这才有可能去抬高巴特勒的交易价值、获取更大的利益。
留住巴特勒，森林狼队可以提高他的交易价值，留住巴特勒，这能让锡伯杜的帅位更稳！所以无论是为了球队还是为了自己、无论是站在主教练的角度还是篮球事务总裁的角度，锡伯杜挽留巴特勒的操作并没有任何问题，而且站在锡伯杜的位置上，你其实很难找到比挽留巴特勒更好的操作。”朱泽楷语带担忧。
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Take care of your meniscus.”“No worry. I won’t be next Derrick Rose.”这些年在教练手下的核心球员，都遭遇到了膝盖上的严重伤病。当年的凤城玫瑰罗斯膝盖半月板撕裂，拉文十字韧带撕裂，还有昨天刚刚发生的巴特勒半月板撕裂以及森林狼内部的撕逼大战...他不由得希望此前关于国王队主教练乔格执教森林狼的传言是真的。至少乔格不是个膝盖收集者。
“So...tell us about your daily life please.”“In the away game， a few hours before the game， all the team members gathered at the hotel and then took the game bus to the venue. Then they made some simple preparations， changed clothes， etc.， as well as the coach's pre-match instructions. In home games， the players will each arrive at the arena， or they will gather in the training hall a few hours in advance for some simple training. If there is not much time， because there are traffic factors and back-to-back game arrangements， it is generally arranged for players to rest or free movement. If you have time， there will be some simple team training in the morning， make some targeted deployments according to different opponents， study and watch each other's game video. Non-competition time is generally accompanied by family members， playing game consoles， reading books， party parties， nightclubs， travel advertisements， charity， and public welfare activities.”
“俯卧撑、引体向上、哑铃前荡、龙门架水平臂屈伸、哑铃深蹲、健身球卷腹、负重台阶训练、哑铃单腿提踵、单臂俯身划船、单腿深蹲、哑铃侧蹲、单腿健身球卷腹、哑铃上斜卧推、单臂哑铃推举、高拉力器背肌训练、单臂俯身划船、单腿深蹲、哑铃侧蹲、单腿健身球卷腹、跳绳...每周6天，每天6小时，每天6个阶段的训练。”虽然八村的语气轻松，但是朱泽楷看见男人拉丝的肱二头肌和背阔肌，能够想象到NBA球队平日的训练量。
