Chapter 5 Friendly and Unfriendly

Putting on his jersey and sneakers, Ma Long started the physical test under the instruction of his fitness coach.

Soon the detailed results were sent to Carlesimo.

He glanced casually, then froze immediately.

"what happened?"

The general manager Bob, who just received the news, asked, "Is our little giant not doing well? Maybe it's because of the trip, so Gao was affected a little bit."

"It's not about underperformance."

Carlesimo took a light breath and interrupted Bob: "It's not a question of whether he's good or not, he's really that... rare kind."

He was a little incoherent with excitement.

But Bob probably understood what he meant, and with a strong curiosity in his heart, he grabbed the physical test sheet and read it himself: "Show me."

"Speaking of which, I didn't follow up on Ma Long's special training this summer because I was busy with the shutdown. Judging by your excitement, it should be that you didn't waste the boss's money and gifts! What kind of data is this?"

Halfway through the conversation, Bob didn't calm down anymore.

He looked at Carlesimo.

Carlesimo suppressed his excitement and nodded: "The data is fine."

A question mark popped up in Bob's head.

He is 224cm tall with bare feet. This is no problem. After all, he is only under 18 years old, so it is expected that he will continue to grow.

But the wingspan is 240cm, the touch height is 302cm, and the weight is 125kg.

However, the talent of the human body is infinite, which is barely acceptable.

A 60cm jump from the spot and a 75cm run-up jump are reasonable, but with Ma Long's height, the bounce is pretty good, even though he doesn't need to bounce for a dunk.
Can 84kg level bench press 25 times?
The agility and balance in the restricted area are both A?

Bob: "I remember correctly, Malone was trying out at the time, and these two items were only C?"

Carlesimo: "That's right. It seems that Malone's physical potential has not been fully tapped yet."

Only this explains it.

Bob is one of the general managers who knows the ball better.

It's not as good as the abnormality of Larry Bird, the big bird, but it's better than many of his peers.

He remembers that the method of testing agility in the penalty area is to set up cone-shaped obstacles on the four sides of the penalty area. Players start from the left corner of the free throw line and sprint to the baseline, and then sprint to the right after reaching the baseline.

Because the range is in a very narrow paint area, although it also tests the burst, it is more about the core and lateral speed.

Each location is rated differently.

The center position can reach A, which means that it is quite good on the front line.

There are also many centers with A-level agility. These years, high-quality centers are cropping out like leeks.

Let's talk about the four perverts.

'Big Dream' Olajuwon's defensive area is fully covered from within the three-point line. In the two seasons of peak 93-95, the average singles points per game is a terrifying 18.88 points!
Jordan didn't carry such singles.

The efficiency of the inside, the output of the outside, and the ball-holding core completely dressed in the skin of a center.

The dynamic talent of the Admiral's group is even more outrageous. The size of the center and the speed of the guard can play from the 2nd position to the 5th position.

And O'Neill, that's even more monster.

These are one-on-one outrageous.

But if Malone's height is included, these two A's are too much!

Bob felt like he saw a giant who was as talented as these monsters!
Maybe he doesn't have the skill of Dream, the speed of Admiral, or the explosive power of Shark, but he has superhuman height + striker-level flexibility!
And Malone has more than that!

Watching the start of the mid-range shot test, Malone, who has hit 50 mid-range shots in a row with a straight-arm jumper, Bob's mouth didn't close the whole time!

He and Carlesimo looked like fools.

Changing the venue, p a background picture of a mental hospital, and assigning it to the voice of Ababa Abba, there is no sense of disobedience.

Click
The reporter next to me recorded this scene and added a line in my heart: Your CIC has no alcohol, but I am as drunk as a dog.

perfect!

The voice brought them back to their senses, and they had already made a judgment on Ma Long's characteristics.

He is taller than 99% of active center forwards. He has good strength, flexibility at the power forward level, and accurate mid-range shots.

Good strength and shooting ability are the reasons why they decided to use the 8th pick.

It seems that there is a high probability that it can be played, and it is also very suitable for their 31-year-old rookie Sabonis.

At least the lottery will not lose.

But they didn't expect that Ma Long had grown up in an all-round way this summer!
His height, wingspan, and strength have all increased, but his flexibility has not decreased, and his agility is even better than when he was in the trial training!
In addition, he also showed a proficient straight-arm jumper technique, which is a perfect fit for his talents.

Although the ball control is not good, the inside skills are average, and the high-level game experience is seriously lacking
But these are nothing in front of Malone's talent!

He is not yet 18!
And although the internal skills are average, it is relative to the strength of veterans.

Ma Long's inside skills are actually very good, and he also has the ability to play singles with the ball in the low post. At this age, he can be called comprehensive and has a solid foundation.

Have all the prerequisites to become a star center!
Bob and Carlesimo had better attitudes and couldn't be more enthusiastic.

Affected by them, the players who returned to the team one after another did not make up their minds in front of Malone.

Originally, Malone wanted to get to know Sabonis, but was told that the medical examination was very bad and he was hospitalized.
It's okay to be hospitalized before the start of the new season.

Fortunately, the other main players and important rotations are healthy, which will not affect the Trail Blazers' tactical practice.

After practicing together for a few days, the teammates became more friendly.

Among them, power forward Clifford Robinson and point guard Rod Strickland had the best attitudes.

Of these two, the former is the new leader of the Trail Blazers.

The team's former boss 'Glider' Clyde Drexler went to the Rockets to win the championship, and he is the successor.

Malone didn't know this one.

After becoming a teammate, I realized that the core strength of this pioneer with a height of 208cm and a weight of 102kg is very good.

For three consecutive seasons, he has averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

Has guard-level explosive power, can serve as the front three positions, has first-class shooting ability, and has a three-point range.

With a shooting rate of 37% last season, he averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game.

Before Nowitzki and Lewis, Clifford was the only 1000-foot-6 player in the NBA to hit more than 10 three-pointers.

The offense is comprehensive, and he was selected to the league's best defensive second team twice, which can be regarded as the youth version of the Admiral.

The power forward, who was selected with the 36th pick in the second round, had caused huge troubles for Jordan and the Bulls in the finals a few years ago, and is a very ambitious player.

Because of his ambition, Clifford was very satisfied with Ma Long's talent and strength, so he was naturally friendly.

The latter is the main point guard, and Malone has excellent shots, which can increase his assist data.

"With your help, I will definitely be able to average 10 assists per game next season!"

"Now I have Malone too!"

Rhodes has long been envious of the Jazz's John Stockton, who has a ruthless assist machine Karl Malone.

In his opinion, Malone also has the potential to be an assist machine.

Ma Long nodded with a smile, but thought that everyone was very realistic.

Benefits bring goodwill, which is quite reasonable.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable for conflicts of interests to bring hostility.

"Hey, rookie."

A big hairy leg suddenly rested on Ma Long's leg: "My shoelace is untied, please tie it for me."

Malone turned his head and looked at Chris Dudley with a strange expression.

This contender for the center position was a bit hairy by him: "What are you looking at?"

Malone: ​​"I was just wondering what the other No. 11 would do."

"I thought I could bear it before, but I really am not him."

"?"

Dudley was confused by Malone's emotion: "What do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Long stood up abruptly: "Want me to tie your shoelaces? Just call me Dad and I'll tie them for you!"

Dudley staggered and almost fell.

After stabilizing his body, he stood up angrily.

Then he found that he still needed to look up to Malone.
Heck!

He didn't want to lower his head, stood on tiptoe and glared at Ma Long: "Any opinion?"

Ma Long shook his head: "You don't want to be my son, but you want me to tie your shoelaces for you, you make it difficult for me!"

Dudley: "It's a tradition for rookies to serve veterans!"

Malone found that Clifford and Rhodes, who were called brothers just now, looked like they were watching the show.

After all, it is still necessary to speak with strength. Ma Long looked down at Dudley: "Tradition? I only recognize strength."

"Ghost, let's fight one-on-one!"
