The three of them entered the gym, and Curry immediately noticed the court lined with various pieces of equipment, each of different shapes.

"Stephen, Brand is highly skilled at helping players improve. If possible, I hope you can join the basketball acceleration training camp. He'll be able to help you a lot this summer," Liam said seriously.

Curry responded without hesitation, "No problem."

Brand Payne was stunned for a moment and said, "I thought it would take more convincing to get you to believe in my abilities."

"The boss asked me to do this; it will definitely be good for me," Curry said firmly.

Brand Payne was a bit surprised. Liam had mentioned he'd be able to convince Curry, but Curry had already accepted before he even tried. The level of trust between these two was remarkable.

Liam smiled and said, "Brand, you should explain your training philosophy to Stephen so he can prepare mentally."

Brand Payne nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll explain briefly... Stephen, after Liam contacted me, I watched a lot of your game footage. Your scoring ability is among the best I've seen. No one in the NCAA could stop you; they couldn't even lower your scoring efficiency. You were unstoppable."

Curry waved his hand modestly, maintaining his low-key nature both on and off the court.

"But in the NBA, you'll face more intense competition and stronger defenses. To be honest, your athletic ability and physical talent will limit your performance, and I believe this has been a concern for you since you started playing basketball."

Curry's expression became serious, listening intently.

Brand Payne was right—his physical limitations had always been his greatest challenge.

"When I played basketball, I was also an average player. I had to work harder to compete with the bigger players on the court. After I graduated, I became a trainer and developed a training system, which I call the 'Crazy Science Training Method.'"

Curry's eyes lit up; the name sounded intriguing.

"This method aims to maximize players' physical capabilities and integrate them with their skills and basketball IQ. It eliminates unnecessary and redundant movements, using the simplest and most scientific techniques to generate force and achieve 120% of your potential."

Brand Payne excitedly touched Curry's arm and shook his head. "Take your body, for example. Don't you think your arms are a bit bulky?"

Curry looked down at his arms, just starting to show muscle definition, and replied, puzzled, "They're not that thick... A lot of people tell me I should bulk up even more."

Brand Payne laughed and explained, "When I say bulky, I don't just mean big. Compared to your core strength, your arms are too bulky. In my opinion, core strength is the foundation of everything. It's your greatest support on the court. You've been focusing on core strength, but not enough."

"In these next three months, I'll create a training plan tailored specifically to you, one that strengthens your core to its maximum potential, helps you bulk up in a smart way, and refines your technical movements and reactions on the court. Believe me, your strength will improve by leaps and bounds!"

Curry realized something and said, "No wonder I struggle during physical confrontations, even though I'm not as heavy as some of the other players..."

"Core strength is also a type of talent. Look at Garnett or Duncan—they may not appear overly muscular, but their core strength allows them to hold their own in physical battles. While I can't make you as strong as them, with proper training, your core strength and ability to handle physicality will be top-tier among point guards. Of course, this will take more than just one offseason. This summer is only the beginning," Brand Payne explained.

Curry was thoroughly convinced and replied, "I'll be here for training tomorrow!"

Brand Payne smiled and said, "I'm not done yet, Stephen. You have a talent that no one else possesses."

"I have talent too?" Curry asked in surprise.

Growing up, he had always been told he lacked the natural talent for basketball.

Brand Payne nodded confidently. "Absolutely, your hand-eye coordination is unmatched."

"Hand-eye coordination?" Curry muttered, glancing at Liam.

He remembered Liam had mentioned something similar before.

Brand Payne continued with excitement, "I've studied your game footage closely. You can shoot in a split second. You take a quick glance at the basket, and then you shoot, whether it's off the dribble or coming off a screen. You have an incredible ability to shoot without adjusting, all thanks to your extraordinary hand-eye coordination. It's a rare talent!"

"Uh, Mr. Payne, I'm actually a little nearsighted..." Curry said, somewhat embarrassed.

Brand Payne laughed and replied, "Stephen, hand-eye coordination isn't about how clearly you see; it's about how quickly you can react to what you perceive. Most NBA players have great hand-eye coordination, which helps them make quick decisions in fast-paced games, but yours is on a whole different level."

"I guarantee that even superstars like Kobe or LeBron can't match you in this area. Your insane shooting ability wouldn't be possible without such abnormal hand-eye coordination. Nobody else in the world can do what you do!"

Curry was a little confused but also pleased. Was he actually a genius?

He had always believed that his three-point shooting was purely a result of hard work, which is why he trained so intensely. He was the hardest worker on his college team—aside from Butler.

"Of course, training is still crucial. I'll develop the most scientific training plan based on your situation to enhance your reaction time and further improve your hand-eye coordination. In simple terms, I'll help you fine-tune your touch so you can make even more incredible shots in the NBA, despite the heightened competition."

Brand Payne looked at Curry confidently.

Curry raised his hand, studying it as if trying to uncover the secret behind his shooting ability, and then asked solemnly, "Mr. Payne, when do we start?"

He couldn't wait to begin training.

Liam smiled and said, "You can start whenever you're ready. Just so you know, Brand's training fees aren't cheap."

Curry replied with a confident grin, "I'm the second pick in the NBA; I'm not short on cash!"

"Really? But doesn't your salary start next season?" Liam teased with a smirk.
