Chapter 409: The Great Emperor

O'Gooden, born in the United States in 1988, is 28 years old this year. In the 2007 NBA draft, he was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers as the top pick, known as Oguden the Great.

Oguden has excellent physical condition, with a net height of 2.13 meters, a weight of 129 kilograms, an arm span of 2.14 meters, and a round-trip run in the penalty area in 12 seconds, and a three-quarter sprint in less than four seconds.

A hulking centre-forward, Oguden is tall and long-armed, can jump well, and is as fast and agile as any smaller player. In his four years of college, Ogu averaged 20 points per game, 10 rebounds, plus about four blocks and assists, and was twice elected the best player in the NCESE.

But sadly, after joining the NBA, O'Gooden was plagued by injuries, and an old injury to his right knee became his nightmare. In his four years with the Portland Trail Blazers, O'Gooden played in just 80 games, and the stats were not impressive, averaging 10 points per game, plus five rebounds, which was not satisfactory to the team considering his status as the top pick.

After his rookie contract ended, Oguden was swept away, and since then he has also played briefly for several NBA teams such as the Miami Heat and the Memphis Grizzlies, but due to injuries, he was only offered short-term contracts and did not perform well.

In 2014, O'Gooden's right knee injury worsened, he underwent a second operation, and after recuperating for more than half a year, no NBA team dared to sign him, and all team managers were worried about his right knee. In this way, Oguden has been in a situation where he has no ball to play. Until the Jiangnan Longteng team found him.

Before the start of the new CBA season. Under the strong recommendation of Hou Baoshan, the general manager of the club. Jiangnan Longteng team signed Oguden amid doubts from the outside world. It's a win-win deal, and the Gangnam Dragons need a former NBA star like O'Gooden the Great to turn the tide and boost morale; And O'Gooden also wants to prove himself in the CBA and find an opportunity to return to the NBA.

The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. During a preseason game in the CBA, Oguden sprained his ankle and then spent six weeks on break. During this period, he missed the first 14 CBA games of the Jiangnan Longteng team, which directly led to the team's 14-game losing streak. But. After Oguden returned from injury, he still gave the fans a surprise.

In the next eight games, Oguden started the game, playing about 25 minutes in each game, averaging 20 points per game, plus a big double-double of 20 rebounds, leading the team to a five-three record. In this way, Oguden quickly proved his strength in the CBA, and also won the recognition of fans, becoming the biggest star in the current Jiangnan Longteng team.

This information flashed through Lu Tianyu's mind quickly. Although he had already met with Oguden in the afternoon, when the Emperor appeared in front of him again. His little heart was still a little excited.

Seeing Lu Tianyu looking at him, Oguden didn't say a word, thinking that the other party didn't understand his English, so he said in unusually stiff Chinese: "You, OUT!" ”

Faced with such an unfriendly attitude of the emperor, Lu Tianyu didn't care too much. He knows that Americans have always only believed in the word strength, and with strength, he will naturally worship you and regard you as an idol; Without strength, he will only treat you like a pile of dung. As a newcomer to the CBA, in the eyes of Oguden, I'm afraid it's not even as good as a pile of dung.

Lu Tianyu took a few steps to the left and gave way to the barbell bench press. Ogu Deng didn't say a word of thanks, and glanced at Lu Tianyu, his eyes full of contempt and contempt.

Oguden took off his coat, revealing the training vest underneath, and then lay flat on the bench with his feet hanging and stepping on the floor. He first adjusted the front and back positions of his body, then stretched out his arms, lifted up, and held the barbell.

“hai!” With a soft roar coming out of his throat, Ogurdon slowly removed the heavy bar from the bench press frame with both arms, lowered it at a constant speed until his upper arm was parallel to the ground, and then slowly lifted the bar back to the starting position, a standard bench press.

"Niu, worthy of being a star who has played in the NBA, this physical fitness is really good." Looking at Oguman easily pushing a barbell weighing a hundred kilograms, Lu Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.

Oguden was lying on the bench press, and after doing more than 20 bench presses in a row, he didn't seem to feel like it was enjoyable, and suddenly shouted at Lu Tianyu who was standing aside: "You, come here, help me add two barbell plates." "Of course, he spoke English.

Lu Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought in his heart: "No, do you really think of me as a little brother?" Just call me like that? ”

But thinking about it, Lu Tianyu still walked over and asked in fluent English, "Oguden, how much do you want to add to it?" ”

This time it was Oguden's turn to be stunned, he didn't expect that this little man's English could be spoken so slippery, and it was standard American English.

"Boy, you speak English well!"

"It's okay, so-so." Lu Tianyu responded.

"Since you can speak English, it's convenient. Come on, add me two more 10-kilogram barbell plates, do you understand? Oguden exclaimed.

"Hmm." Lu Tianyu nodded, picked up two barbell plates from the shelf on the side, and added them to the barbell, and the weight of the entire barbell had reached one hundred and twenty kilograms at this time.

However, this weight is still very easy for Oguden, and after doing more than 20 bench presses in a row, he continued to ask Lu Tianyu to increase the barbell plates. In this way, the weight of the barbell has reached 160 kilograms, which is quite considerable.

According to what Lu Tianyu has learned, among NBA superstars, Yao Ming's maximum bench press power is about 158 kilograms, Howard is about this level, the little emperor James can reach 190 kilograms, and the big shark O'Neal is around 200 kilograms. Now, after only two months of returning from injury, Oguden can lift a 160-kilogram barbell, which is not easy.

This time, Oguden pushed a little harder, and after only a dozen pushes, he was already panting and sweating profusely. Seeing this scene, Lu Tianyu smiled, "Heh, there is still a gap between the strength of this big man's upper limbs and O'Neill." ”

It was such a coincidence that at this time, Oguden happened to raise his head and happened to see the smile on Lu Tianyu's face, and he immediately became angry. In his opinion, this laugh must be a mockery, mocking his bench press strength.

"Boy, you do it, let me see how much weight you can lift?" Ogurdon said angrily (To be continued.) )
