“His coaches ran for every miss and Giannis Antetokounmpo hated it”: Bucks
used ‘torture technique’ to motivate Greek Freak to shoot better
公鹿用"折磨"的方式去驅使字母哥練罰球：「沒進教練就得罰跑，字母哥很討厭這樣。」
Giannis Antetokounmpo has tried a variety of methods to improve his shooting
over the last couple of years, since his rise to MVP candidature.
自從字母哥成為MVP等級球員後，在過去幾年，他試過很多方式來改進他的投球。
The Greek Freak has not been a good free throw shooter in either of his
back-to-back MVP seasons. His percentages fell to a measly 63.8% for the
2019-20 season, a clear indication that he was regressing.
在他過去連續兩年的MVP賽季，他在罰球線上的表現就不是很好。他上個賽季罰球命中率是
悲慘的63.8趴，顯示出明顯的退步。
The Milwaukee Bucks coaches had on their hands a dynamite talent who’s
improved his game like few others in league history. They believed they could
get Giannis back up to respectable percentages as a shooter.
公鹿教練團現在面臨的問題是要怎麼改善這位有著爆棚天賦但是有著聯盟史上很少有的球
員狀況，但是他們相信他們可以在投球命中率上把字母哥拉回到讓人尊敬的程度。
In the wake of Giannis signing his supermax contract extension, ESPN released
a story regarding his improvements. The story, among other things, contained
a few unorthodox methods used by the Bucks to help the Greek Freak improve.
在字母哥簽下超級頂薪約後，ESPN報導了字母哥如何改進。在報導中，他們提到了公鹿
用了一些非正統的方法來幫助字母哥。
After getting knocked out by the Miami Heat in the playoffs, Giannis decided
to get back to the lab. Coaches worked with him as he went through a series
of post-up drills and shooting exercises. The Bucks sent a rotating group of
assistants to Athens to work with.
在季後賽被熱火淘汰後，字母哥決定回到訓練場。教練們跟著他一起訓練，練了一系列的
背框跟投球練習。公鹿更輪流派助理們到希臘雅典去。
During the most rigorous parts of the workout, Antetokounmpo would shoot a
pair of free throws. This enabled him to simulate game situations – taking
free throws while breathing heavily.
整個訓練過程中最嚴格的部分，字母哥會連續投兩顆罰球，那可以讓他模擬正式比賽的狀
況，他會在罰球時用力的呼吸。
If he missed his free throws, his coaches would need to run and he would need
to watch. Seeing other people pay for his mistakes was torture for Giannis.
This is a common motivational strategy used by high school coaches everywhere.
若是他罰球沒投進的話，教練團們就得要罰跑步，而他得要看著他們跑。看著別人因為他
的失誤被懲罰對字母哥來說是種折磨，這是很多高中教練常用的策略。
Whether or not these routines have paid off is something only time will tell.
到底這樣的方式會不會有用只有等時間來證明了。
