am i proud?

Chapter 8 I still have to do push-ups

According to the agreed time, Wang Dalin came to the team's gym, only to see that Spoelstra had already arrived—the rental house where Wang Dalin lived was far away.

"Hi Wang, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay, thank you, Eric!"

After exchanging a few simple greetings, Wang Dalin immediately went straight to the topic, lay down on the bench press bench, and started "rolling iron" without saying a word.

"one two three four……"

As Wang Dalin completed the elections one by one, Spoelstra gradually showed a surprised expression.

This shit is called "with certain results"?This is called a "shattering change", okay?

As the team's assistant coach, Spoelstra remembers very clearly that Wang Dalin had only completed 84 bench presses of 2KG on the side before, and it was obvious that he had tried his best.

And this time, he actually completed a full 10 times?
Finally completed 10 bench presses, Wang Dalin quickly looked at his watch that was timing - "65 seconds!"

It's 5 seconds slower!

Wang Dalin knew very well that he had definitely performed at his best just now, even if he was asked to do it a few more times, it would be difficult to surpass this result.

Seeing the disappointment on Wang Dalin's face, Spoelstra came over and patted him on the shoulder with a gratifying smile on his face.

"Wang, you don't have to be too strict with yourself. In my opinion, you seem to be a completely different person compared to your body!"

"Really, I didn't lie to you. You have improved so much in such a short period of time. You must have practiced very hard, right?"

Wang Dalin nodded, and said in his heart: "Yes, it was indeed very difficult, that is, he made 1000 mid-range shots and 600 three-pointers, and also played 11 3V3 bullfights..."

Since there was this opportunity to communicate with Spoelstra alone, Wang Dalin would not miss it. He just took a short break and said, "Coach, I want to ask if the team's roster for this year's summer league has been finalized? If there is a chance, I think..."

"Well... I know what you want to say!" Spoelstra frowned slightly, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to be in Miami all this time! So... But... this shouldn't be a problem, believe me, as long as I have my recommendation, I believe Pat should give you a chance!"

As Pat Riley's closest confidant, Spoelstra knew that Riley did not keep his promise to sign Wang Dalin with the 23rd pick in the second round, which is actually a bit regrettable.

He believed that if the Heat gave Wang Dalin a chance to participate in the summer league, Pat Riley would not object.

And in the past two years, Pat Riley has obviously appointed Spoelstra as his successor.Not to mention the summer league, even the preseason, it is estimated that he will hand over the baton to Spoelstra.

In other words, in the summer league, the actual head coach of the Heat is Spoelstra.

Spoelstra is indeed optimistic about Wang Dalin, even if he can call the shots, he must have signed Wang Dalin during the draft.

After all, Wang Dalin's static talent is really good, and his shooting touch is very soft. The most important thing is...he is only 18 years old!
In the NBA draft, youth really is capital!

For example, in the 2004 draft, if Dwight Howard was not only 18 years old, how could he beat Emeka Okafor to be elected as the "No. [-] pick"?
No way, Okafor was already 22 years old when he was drafted, and he had already graduated from college, while Howard had just graduated from high school.

If he had been two or three years younger, or even just one year younger, the situation would have been different.

It can only be said that in the 2000 draft, the mature and prudent Pat Riley did not choose to gamble.After all, it is a bit risky to bet on this young Chinese player.

After receiving Spoelstra's promise, Wang Dalin was very happy. At least he chose to stay and finally got a good result.

If he can't even play in summer league, it really doesn't make sense for him to stay in Miami.

Next, Wang Dalin did a lot of strength training, such as "medium ball rotation", "barbell press", "power rope" and so on.

Spoelstra has been standing on the sidelines, with a gratified smile on his face from time to time.

look!What a guy!
In such a short period of time, not only has my strength improved a lot, but my physical fitness has also improved a lot... It seems that I have really put in a lot of hard work!
After training in the afternoon, Wang Dalin and Spoelstra said goodbye to each other very friendly.

Then he didn't go home directly, but went to eat a delicious barbecue.

During this period of time, he lived alone, and he really didn't have a decent meal, so it was considered a reward for himself.

In the evening, after returning home, Wang Dalin took a short rest, then lay down on the ground and began to do push-ups.

There is no way... Although he can complete 10 consecutive 84KG bench presses, it is just a little bit slower, and he can only put his hope on the first task.

As long as he has completed 1000 push-ups in total, he will be rewarded with 2 points of strength, and his strength will reach 53 by then, which should be enough for him to complete the task of bench press.

As long as you complete the bench press task, you can get another 5000 points reward, and then you can increase your ability value a little bit!
With Wang Dalin's current strength, it's still very easy to do push-ups. As long as you don't lose your speed, it's nothing to do hundreds of push-ups in one go.However, the task requirement is to "complete a total of 1000 push-ups", which obviously cannot be completed in one day.

Wang Dalin made a simple plan in his mind: do 100 push-ups in each group, rest 10 minutes between each group, and try how much he can do in one night.

According to his original estimate, he felt that he could at least complete 6-8 sets in one night. In fact, he was very reluctant to finish 5 sets.

Every push-up required by the system must meet the standard, and a little corner cutting will not be included in the completed number.So when it came to the fourth and fifth rounds, Wang Dalin felt a bit strenuous.

After taking a simple bath, Wang Dalin collapsed on the bed exhausted, and finally did not forget to massage his arms before going to bed.

Early the next morning, he took the basketball to the street court again.

Although completing 1000 push-ups is the top priority right now, the task of completing a cumulative 20000 mid-range shots cannot be left there.

After the completion, the mid-range shooting ability can be improved by 2 points, which is very attractive to Wang Dalin.

It can be said that his most outstanding skill now is CIC. After completing the task of push-ups and getting 5000 points, he is ready to spend all of them on CIC.

按照70-79这个区间800积分1点的“价格”，他的中投可以提升至77，再加上2点就是79……扔到NBA的替补球员中，也能算个“中投靓仔”了！

When Kobe Bryant first entered the NBA, he might not have such a strong mid-range shooting ability, right?

Wang Dalin is already very familiar with the "mid-range jump shot". After all, he made 1000 jump shots in just two days, so he shot very smoothly.

This time he scored 1000 goals in half a day, mainly because his physical fitness has improved a lot, and his arm is not as sore as the day before yesterday.

After eating at noon, he massaged his arms well, and then took a nap. After adjusting to his best condition, Wang Dalin methodically completed 5 sets of 100 push-ups.

Although he was sweating profusely from exhaustion, he still couldn't contain his inner excitement after increasing his strength by 2 points.

The strength of 53 should be enough to complete 60 times of 10KG bench press in 84 seconds, but just to be on the safe side, Wang Dalin decided to complete this challenge the next day.
