Gan Guoyang wasn't talking nonsense. "'Visualization' is a training method that Bernard King told Gan about. It had just started to gain popularity in the professional basketball scene in the late '70s and early '80s," he explained.
This so-called visualization is about imagining oneself performing various technical moves on the court and simulating game scenarios in the mind. Professional players have proven through practice that this method is effective.
However, it requires the body to undergo a large amount of training and to become very proficient at various technical moves. Coupled with visualization and imagination training, it can serve as an enhancement, allowing players to maintain the sensitivity and stability of neuromuscular responses in high-intensity games.
