这位马刺队的摇摆人在休赛期的训练视频中展现了强壮的体格。
上个赛季对约翰逊来说并不顺利。赛季中期，他被安排到替补席，有时看起来不太适应。之后，由于防守上的问题，他被圣安东尼奥马刺队主教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)弃用，同时还受到了球迷和篮球媒体的批评。尽管如此，他始终保持着活力，并对球队充满承诺。
从达斯蒂·加西亚(Dusty Garcia)发布的最新训练视频来看，约翰逊似乎在休赛期刻苦训练，身材发生了翻天覆地的变化。
联盟和黑粉们注意了。

约翰逊上赛季的体型曾遭到诟病。有些人怀疑他较重的体型和防守问题有关。他一定是把这些评论放在了心上。
这位侧翼球员在上赛季的数据有所下滑，而他在2022-23赛季曾是球队的得分王。约翰逊场均得到15.7分、5.5个篮板和2.8次助攻。他的防守效率为118，这是他职业生涯中防守最差的赛季之一。

身材蜕变在NBA并不少见。“职业生涯最佳状态”的说法很少会在下个赛季带来重大的成果。然而，考虑到约翰逊惊人的变化，我们很难不为他付出的努力感到兴奋。
他的训练似乎强调爆发力，专注于他的运动能力和速度。凭借更快的速度和爆发力，约翰逊应该能够在防守端打得更好。他的横向移动速度和偶尔的注意力不集中一直是过去的问题。看起来他正在解决防守能力的 физический 方面的问题。他能否提高精神方面的能力还有待观察。
进攻从来都不是约翰逊的问题。事实上，他的身体素质和终结能力一直是他的强项。将他篮下制造身体接触的倾向与更具爆发力的基础相结合，可能会对他的冲击型打法产生奇效。这是他上个赛季经常忽略的一点。速度的提升可以帮助他随心所欲地冲击篮筐——这是第二阵容所需要的。
我们将拭目以待，看看这种身体上的努力将如何在篮球场上得到体现。至少，这是一个值得我们在训练营开始前关注的激动人心的故事。一个焕然一新的约翰逊将成为马刺队替补席上的宝贵财富，并帮助他们在本赛季取得好成绩。

Keldon Johnson has transformed his body
The Spurs swingman looks jacked in new offseason training videos.
Last season was not Keldon Johnson’s best. He was assigned a bench role mid-way through the season where he sometimes seemed uncomfortable. He was benched by San Antonio Spurs head coach, Gregg Popovich, for his defensive woes later in the season. All while drawing criticism from fans and basketball media alike. Through it all, he remained energetic and committed to the franchise.
It appears Johnson has been putting in the work this offseason, looking completely transformed in new training videos courtesy of Dusty Garcia.
The league and the haters have been put on notice.
If you still don’t know what is going on with Keldon Johnson and the Spurs, you need to catch up and read my write up for @News4SA. #PorVida #MustangMentality https://t.co/vi4kutJ3qk pic.twitter.com/y2y0CVjpGr— SpursRΞPORT (@SpursReporter) August 28, 2024
Johnson’s physical shape drew criticism last season. Some wondered if his heavier frame and defensive woes were related. He must have taken those comments to heart.
The wing regressed statistically last season after being the team’s leading scorer in the 2022-23 season. Johnson averaged 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists. He had a 118 defensive rating, one of the worst defensive seasons of his career.

Body transformations are nothing new in the NBA. The “in the best shape of his career” narrative rarely leads to big-time results the next season. Yet, it’s hard to contain excitement with Johnson’s efforts, given how drastically different he looks.
His training looks to emphasize explosive movements, focusing on his athleticism and burst. With more quickness and explosiveness, Johnson should physically be able to play better at the defensive end. His lateral quickness has been an issue in the past, along with some lapses mentally. It seems like he is addressing the physical aspect of his defensive ability. It remains to be seen if he can improve the mental side.
Offense has never been the issue with KJ. In fact, his physicality and finishing ability have long been strengths. Combining his proclivity for drawing contact around the basket with a more explosive base could do wonders for his downhill attacking game. It’s something he went away from too often last season. The added speed could help him get back to attacking the basket at will – something that will be needed in the second unit.
We will have to wait and see how this physical work manifests on the basketball court. If nothing else, it’s an exciting story to pay attention to going into training camp. A revitalized Johnson would be an asset to the Spurs’ bench, and help them compete this season.
