Lately, Chen Yu hadn't had much time, so he had a long chat with Holger via video call.
They talked about Nowitzki's development, Holger's peculiar training methods, and his philosophies and insights on training.
Many of his ideas were very inspiring to Chen Yu.
'He's a genius.'
'It might have something to do with his background.'
After his teacher introduced basketball to Germany, the sport developed differently than it did in the United States due to the different environment. This led to a distinct basketball philosophy.
He viewed basketball more as a regular sport and based his player training methods on that foundation, rather than following traditional approaches.
In short, his philosophy was fascinating.
Finally, when Chen Yu asked how to adjust Nowitzki's game, Holger's answer was to make adjustments based on Nowitzki's specific characteristics.
He also mentioned another player.
Tracy McGrady!
