In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 30 Trial Training Begins

The NBA season is over, and the training camps of each team have also opened. Now is not the era of joint trial training, basically it is a team-by-team trial training. This kind of trial training makes many potential lottery picks laugh. Hua, because there was an example of Jordan in his previous life, and because of the joint trial training, his shortcomings were fully exposed. As a result, he sat in the second round in the small green room before being picked up by the Clippers.

However, Jordan almost lost the selection because of his brain-dead management team and personal negative training attitude. Otherwise, why would Uncle Mu II Thabeet, who is more talented than him, beat Curry and Harden became the second place? .

So attitude is very important at all times. Your ability is one aspect, but if you don't have attitude, you will also be disliked by others.

The first stop of Zhang Tian's trial training was the cornfield. The end of the season was a baptism of the lineup for the Pacers. Many people in the team were the targets of cleansing in the eyes of Larry Bird. Donny Walsh felt that those people could still be salvaged.

When Zhang Tian, ​​Xia Song, and Rich Paul arrived at the Conseco Arena, there were already many rookies in there, and they were also trying out. Jonathan Bender of the Nate and Larry Bird complex is up.

The opponent's skills are too comprehensive, and it is generally different from Garnett David Robinson's lower body strength. This guy's lower body strength is also very strong, but because he agreed to join the University of Mississippi, he regretted going to the NBA draft and affected his draft. market, but even so, his market is within the top ten, which is much better than that of Zhang Tian.

Zhang Tian is currently being chased by many NBA teams, but the market is just wandering back and forth on the edge of the lottery zone.In addition to Jonathan Bender, the Pacers also invited Corey Maggette, a member of the Duke University championship.

After the previous two had tried out, Zhang Tiancai started to try out.The other two "competitors" did not leave.They were very curious about Zhang Tian, ​​the MVP of the U19 World Youth Championship.

The first is Zhang Tian's height measurement. Now he is still 201, but considering his age will grow by one to two centimeters in the future, the bone age test also shows that Zhang Tian's age is real.This made the Pacers' management feel relieved. They were afraid that Zhang Tian's age would be changed to a younger age, so that there would be no training value. He was the same age as Bender, but his birth month was at least half a year younger than the latter.

The weight has changed from the previous 93 kg to 95 kg. According to the nutritionist Caroline Moss, this gradual weight gain method is the most reasonable. Become a glass man.

Next is the wingspan. Zhang Tian's wingspan is 210, which can only be considered average for his height. After all, people of the yellow race have average wingspan talent. You can see Yao Ming's height of 226 and his wingspan of 220, so Zhang Tian's heart is still very balanced.

In terms of static physical talent, Zhang Tian is not inferior to Jonathan Bender and Corey Maggette, even stronger than those two. The latter two are strong in dynamic talent, and static can only be said to be average.

Next came the dynamic test, and Larry Bird suddenly looked forward to it. Zhang Tian, ​​as long as his dynamic talent can reach two-thirds of his static talent, he will choose him.

After all, when I was in the draft, I also came here in this way. Of course, there is no shortage of Auerbach's insight.If the Pacers want to become stronger, the lineup must be changed, especially the existence of those inappropriate people with high salaries, Bird really can't bear it.

The first thing Zhang Tian tested was strength. The weight of this bench press was 185 pounds, about 84 kilograms. Just now Maggette pushed two, but Bender didn't push a single one.Let's look at Zhang Tian's next.

Jonathan Bender's agent was very nervous. He felt that Zhang Tiancai was his employer's biggest opponent. As an agent at the same level as Rich Paul, the latter knew too well how much Bender would bring him if he entered the NBA.

Zhang Tian was lying under the bench press machine. He was not in a panic, anyway, as long as he couldn’t lift any of them, it would be fine. It's not the same. Well, if an international player bench presses his hips like this, he can still become the second place. Go eat shit. The NBA league is actually a double-standard league to some extent.

The bench press test started, Zhang Tian poured all his strength into his arms, and finally lifted the two iron lumps after exerting all his strength, fuck, it really only has a strong attribute of 48, it is still not enough, But lifting one is enough.

"Does Zhang want to continue?" Larry Bird asked, and Zhang Tian bench-pressed once, to his satisfaction, but Jonathan Bender's manager was like a dead mother.

Zhang Tian nodded, but Rich Paul and Xia Song were a little worried. They felt the difficulty of Zhang Tian's first bench press, and they could do it again.

Zhang Tian's second bench press was obviously not as smooth as the first one. When he was about to lift to the top, he finally fell. The strength of the bench press was finally fixed at 120 kg.This statistic is not as impressive as Corey Maggette's 168 kg. After all, the opponent is a well-known muscular man in his previous life.

In terms of bounce, Zhang Tian’s answer sheet was 92 centimeters, which surprised Larry Bird. They tested it three times in a row, and Zhang Tian’s worst test was 90 centimeters. The two leaders of the Pacers were all excited. , Could it be that Zhang Tian is really the biggest dark horse in this draft.

In the next speed test, the bottom line turned back and ran 11 seconds, and the three-quarter sprint was 50. This speed test result was not much different from Maggette's 3.Not to mention Jonathan Bender, who was over seven feet tall.

After the physical test in Indiana, Zhang Tian chose to leave. Although Larry Bird and others didn't want Zhang Tian to go to other teams, they guaranteed something, but their next stop was Phoenix. After all, the NBA draft promised Whoever takes this kind of thing seriously is a fool. Rashard Lewis is an example. In Phoenix, Zhang Tian met James Posey, Odom, and hackers. Posey is the least famous of them all. , but the temper is the biggest.

After the physical tests of the three were completed, James Posey came to him because Zhang Tian's physical test data was much better than that of an older rookie. Ping-pong, the NBA is not for you." There was a hint of fierceness in the former's eyes.

But the staff of the Suns did not stop this scene from happening. They have long been accustomed to rookie fighting spirit. The general manager Brian Colanjilo was also watching. He really wanted to know about this Asian striker recommended by Dick Klein. What is the merit? From a businessman's point of view, Colinjilo doesn't mind having an extra Chinese player on the team. After all, Phoenix's Chinese can account for almost [-]% of the city's population.How much income would it be if this one percent of people were fooled into watching the game in the arena.
