Chapter 11: Shock

There are many talented people in the United States, and there are many people who can jump from the free throw line and dunk. And there have been bulls who have done things such as jumping from the free throw line, changing hands under the crotch for dunks, turning 720-degree dunks, and so on.

Like this Asian young man's dunk - "pseudo-free throw line jumping" windmill dunk, although it is difficult, there are still many people who can do it. But he made this action, effortless, elegant, agile, giving people the ultimate beauty, no matter where the slam dunk contest is placed, it is a proper perfect score.

It's like a crotch dunk, a lot of people can do it, but who can dunk that beauty like Vince Carter?

To make such a dunk, it is not only about bouncing, but also about the coordination and balance of the body. Why do many people be able to jump, but dunks do feel awkward? The reason is that his body is too stiff, and his coordination and balance are not good.

Basketball has been a sport for more than 100 years since it appeared in the United States in the 90s of the 19th century. For more than 100 years, the development of basketball has reached a very high stage.

Modern basketball not only needs comprehensive skills, comprehensive physical fitness, but also strong mental quality. In the NBA, the most competitive basketball league, you can only get a place in the overall game, and if you want to become a star, you need to improve a particularly outstanding strength on a comprehensive basis.

If you only have super physical fitness, but you don't have the corresponding coordination and balance ability, let alone the technical movements you should master, then you can't even gain a foothold in the NBA.

Just from a dunk action of this Asian young man, it can be seen that he has the top bounce ability and the ability to stay in the air, and the speed of the bullet is also amazingly fast, which is the typical physical fitness of the top version of the flyer.

Even more commendable, his coordination and balance are also excellent, as can be seen in the dribble and switchback run he has just made. With a top-level sense of coordination and balance, he can not only master a technical move that others have practiced hard but cannot obtain, but also can rely on his body's coordination and balance to maintain a very stable shooting posture after the confrontation.

To put it simply, his shooting percentage will not drop significantly even in the most competitive playoff games. And it's easy to play a 2+1 after the opponent fouls. There are also such figures in the NBA, the most typical being Jamal Crawford.

Crawford is the NBA's fourth-point leader, topping the four-point list and still breaking that record. He doesn't play very physically, but he has very good coordination and balance, and always scores the ball after an opponent has committed a foul.

In this short period of time, the physical condition displayed by this young Asian American made a group of scouts stunned. They never imagined that the yellow race could have such physical qualities. The performance of this young Asian American made them unbelievable.

And the uniform groups of each team began to liven up.

Every year's draft, in fact, is gambling. Rookies with high picks have a better chance of becoming stars, but there are also many rookies with high picks who can't play. They seem to be talented on the surface, but they have not been able to transform their talent into real strength and have become what fans call "parallel goods".

Before the rookies enter the NBA, no one is 100% sure which rookie will definitely succeed and become a superstar.

There are no absolutes.

The reason why the team chose a rookie is because the team feels that he has a relatively high probability of not wasting his talent and being able to turn talent into strength.

Some teams won the bet and got the cornerstone of the next ten years; Some teams lose the bet and can only continue to mess around, waiting for the next year's draft to make persistent efforts, or seek a trade. Everyone's goal is to make the team stronger and have the opportunity to compete for the championship. In this way, it is fame and fortune.

And the talent shown by this young Asian man, even if he has the shortcomings of the yellow race that is not good at fighting, is worth fighting for many teams.

But the surprises given to them by young Asians aren't over yet.

After this series of dribbles, switchback runs, and dunks, he started shooting. Two points from close range inside the free throw line, then a mid-range shot near the free throw line, and two long points from a step further, with all-round shots from all positions.

47 out of 50 shots!

In addition to adapting to the basket at the beginning and occasionally missing one or two, the more and more shots got better, and finally came a 29-shot shot!

"The shooting posture is very standard, the hand shape is very stable, and it seems that there has been hard practice. Well, the shot is fast, and the shot follows the action very well! The wrist also looks quite soft, and it should feel good in the hand! Taylor really liked this young Asian man more and more.

"Genius! Not only does he have the top physical qualities like a black man, but he also has the soft touch of a yellow man! Only by polishing well, you will become a superstar in the future! ”

After seeing the shooting performance of the young Asian American, Taylor roared in his heart, the genius he was looking for finally appeared!

This series of mid-range shots has amazed the uniform groups of many teams. Some have even begun to pull out their phones and prepare to report to their superiors.

These rookies are all around 20 years old, and they are all physically strong, and most of them play on the court. There are few people who don't eat on their bodies. And the better they are, the less consistent they tend to shoot.

In fact, I haven't seen a rookie in that class who has a player with super physical talent, ensuring that he has a strong impact and can also have good outside shooting ability. Rookies often enter the league for two or three years before their projection skills improve.

Of course, those who participate in the draft as shooters are counted separately.

This young Asian athlete showed projection skills, even if he couldn't hit the impact of a body like him because of his poor physical confrontation, he was able to use his speed and the agility and agility of his coordination and balance to run out of space and catch and shoot. He has what it takes to be a shooter.

The team's uniforms, which are made up of scouts, managers, coaches, assistants, etc., have fundamentally changed their perception of this young Asian American. In fact, these Americans, like the Japanese, worship the strong in their bones, and their creed is to live by strength.

Their discrimination against the yellow race is pervasive, and it is discrimination against one ethnic group; And respect for the strong is only individual. Just like this young Asian who is now showing strength in front of them, he was discriminated against just because of the color of his skin. Now, with his own strength, he has gained respect.

But he didn't know what was going on in the minds of those in suits. After making 50 two-point shots, he began to extend his range to the three-point line.

First, he threw in the bottom corner of the left side, and he was able to shoot 5 out of 5.

Then he came to the left 45-degree angle. Probably because the NBA three-point line was too far away, he missed the first two shots, and the last three shots were all hit.

Next, he was 4 of 5 at the top of the arc and missed the first shot.

Then the right 45-degree angle 5 in 4, the third shot missed.

Finally, in the bottom right corner, 5 of 5 shots.

21 of 25 shots!

What a horrible hit rate!

won the All-Star three-point contest, and it was also an unbeatable shooting rate. And he still picks up the ball by himself, and then runs back to shoot, which requires a lot of physical strength. But he can still guarantee such a hit rate, which is really terrible.

Watching this Asian American show off his skills, body and projection in one half, and a dozen or so early rookies in the other half, there were all kinds of mixed emotions in their hearts, including shock, disdain, worry, admiration, and so on.

Among them, the largest proportion is worry. The fact that they were able to get here before training camp started shows that they certainly aren't big rookies.

Like the kind of big-name rookies who directly book the top five and top ten picks, such a training camp loves to come, and it is perfunctory to come. Only those second-round shows with an uncertain future will honestly come in advance and want the alliance to express their hearts.

And this sudden Asian rookie, who was unknown before, somehow sneaked into the training camp. He doesn't have the slightest popularity in the United States, the team doesn't know anything about him, and if he goes to the draft like this, there is a chance that he will not be selected.

But now it's different, the people sitting on the sidelines are professionals who are very knowledgeable about the draft, and they can often see a player's potential through some details. The strength and talent shown by the Asian just now can even be seen by these rookies in their 20s, can't those people see it?

Will that Asian-American rookie grab a limited draft spot and squeeze one of them out?

Thinking about it like this, the worry in their hearts couldn't help but increase a little more.

Unlike these anxious rookies, the scouts in suits on the sidelines and the fat managers were pleasantly surprised.

This young Asian man is not well-known in the United States, and he should not have played in the United States, otherwise he would have made a name for himself in the United States long ago based on his conditions. In that case, it should be from Asia or elsewhere, except for the NBA, where is the three-point line so far?

He was able to adapt to the NBA's three-point range after only two or three attempts, which shows that he has a very strong adaptability and has reached the NBA's three-point line. His two-point shooting just now can also show his adaptability.

Adaptability to the court as well as the basket is very important. Because in the NBA, half of the 82 regular season games are played on the road. If you don't adapt quickly to the away basketball court, then the team's victory will be overshadowed.

In the NBA, each of the 30 teams has its own home arena, and although the court in each arena has the same specifications, there are subtle differences in the hardness of the basket, the tightness of the net, and even the elasticity of the rebound. And it's that little difference that can make a shot that could otherwise go in slide out of the basket.

If you are adaptable, you can quickly get into the groove and find your shooting sensation quickly in away games, without letting your opponent take away the game with home advantage.

At the same time, having a strong ability to adapt also means having a strong ability to self-adjust. If at a certain stage, the player is in very bad shape, then he needs to adjust his form in time. The time it takes to adjust the state depends on the strength of the adjustment ability.

A player with this ability will not have a big ups and downs on the pitch. Stable output and contribution are what many teams and coaches like.
