075: City Hero? No interest

After static testing and bounce touching, the Trail Blazers tested Wayne with the baseline switchback run.

As a result, Wayne only needed 12.4 seconds. And everyone found that Wayne's acceleration ability in the early stages seemed to be excellent.

Sure enough, in the next 3/4 sprint runs, Wayne needed only 3.3 seconds. At his height, that's pretty good.

Well, the newly unlocked acceleration ability is really not white krypton.

As far as Patterson knows, Delon's 3/4 sprint time is only 3.25 seconds.

Of course, this data is provided by the university, and it cannot be ruled out that Delong is injured or did not run seriously at all.

After all, Howard, one of the top candidates, can run 3.14 seconds in 3/4 of the sprints.

No matter how fast Howard is, he can't be so fast as Delon.

By the way, Tony's 3/4 sprint time in Boston was 3.19 seconds.

Well, when Delong tested, it is estimated that he did not have half the success.

But again, this kind of test does little to judge a player's actual performance.

Harden's original physical test data was better than Wei Shao in all aspects, which Nima ...... Who would dare to believe it!

It's good to understand, don't get into the horns.

In terms of bench press, Wayne did 6 reps of 84kg bench press, slightly below the average of 7.

To tell the truth, even an ordinary person who has practiced a little bit may be able to push more than Wayne.

No way, the arms are too long, and it's still very unfriendly to bench presses.

Moreover, Howard's bench press data is only 7 times, and it is only 1 less than the champion candidate, which does not seem to be so shameful.

What the? You say Howard is still just a high school student?

Don't listen, don't listen, I don't listen.

Besides......

Isn't there Du Xiaoshuai in the future, don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

Wayne wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Patterson, the general manager of the Trail Blazers.

Patterson's smile was already an indication of how satisfied he was with Wayne.

However, these are not Wayne's specialties.

Give him a ball and he can surprise you more.

After the training with the ball, Wayne's performance really did not disappoint Patterson.

With open shots, catch-and-shoot shots, and interfering shots at all positions, Wayne's shooting percentage is very gratifying.

On top of that, Wayne also shuttled the ball through a row of obstacles, showing that he still had decent ball control.

Schwartz glanced at Patterson and saw that the goods seemed to be eager to hand Wayne a contract directly.

"We, we really need a player like you. From the time you came to Portland last year, I knew you weren't easy.

We are very happy with the results of your tryout! Really, I promise, we'll pick yours with that 13th pick, and I vouch for it with my reputation. ”

Very few teams give verbal guarantees after a trial unless he really likes the player.

Of course, such a guarantee will not make Schwartz too tempted.

As a professional broker, he's not so idealistic.

Anything that is not clearly written in black and white can be changed. But don't let others say it casually and you will cheer.

Wayne thought that the Trail Blazers would arrange a wave of half-court 3-on-3 or full-court 5-on-5 practice games next.

Nothing turned out, and Patterson decided it was no longer necessary.

He's seen too much of Wayne's actual performances, and he's ......

Since the Trail Blazers didn't make the playoffs, the team went off early..... He couldn't find a couple of decent players to play against Wayne right now.

It doesn't really make much sense to call in those college players who are waiting for the draft.

In college, Wayne was already MOP, and he didn't need to prove anything more.

Wayne saw that he had impressed the general manager of the Trail Blazers in three or five clicks, and he couldn't help but ask in his heart: "That's it?" ”

After that, Patterson actually talked to Wayne about life.

Patterson detailed his desire for Wayne to play the No. 3 spot and pledged to get the team back on track within a few years.

Well, he also said how pleasant Portland's climate is, how beautiful the scenery is, and how livable it is.

Patterson himself was extremely moved, but to be honest, Wayne was not in a hurry at all.

Patterson didn't know that in China, there are pie masters everywhere.

I ate more cakes, and slowly became indifferent.

As far as Patterson's wave is concerned, it is not as good as Wayne's previous life, and his company boss draws cakes well.

And Wayne doesn't have much to ask for the city at the moment, and now he's not good enough to pick the city.

"So, if you form a forward combination with Zach, you're going to make a name for yourself! Let's build a better future together, Wayne! ”

"Oh...... Oh......" Wayne shook Patterson's hand awkwardly, this Nima, and Randolph form a forward line, I'm afraid I can't touch the ball.

Until he evolves into "Tennessee O'Neal," don't expect that fat guy to play well.

After finishing their meeting with the Trail Blazers, Wayne and Schwartz made a beeline for the airport, ready to move on to their next destination.

On the way, Schwartz also asked Wayne what he thought of the Trail Blazers.

"That's good, and I don't really have a choice." Wayne spread his hands.

Pioneers, it's pretty good. Although he may not be able to win the championship, he has the potential and can play time.

Crucially, they are the team most likely to draw their own team with lotto.

While Wayne is arguably the best power forward in the NCAA this season, it's embarrassing to ...... The top 10 teams, with the exception of the Magic and Bobcats, are not very interested in selecting power forwards.

After Okafor and Howard, the top 10 was filled with talented outside linemen from various colleges and high schools.

It's really hard to get into the top 10 in the draft, college talent, high school talent, plus international players, you can count how many spots you have left.

Wayne is likely, but so is the uncertainty. So, to be picked in the lotto, Wayne is satisfied.

The higher-ranked Warriors also invited Wayne to a tryout, but Schwartz had already given Wayne a shot: "They're probably using you as a spare tire for Biedlings." ”

So, Portland is the perfect place to be.

Let's take a lotto position first, and then talk about the future development......

Wayne has long thought about it, even if he doesn't develop well in Portland in the future, he can transfer.

One man, one city is cool, but Wayne doesn't want to be some urban hero for the American people.

He is not averse to the transfer, his career still has to be controlled by himself, and there is no need to hang himself from a tree.

Your starting point does not mean that it is also the end.

Why are you thinking about so much uselessness now? I don't know where I will be in two or three years.

It's better to think about how to improve yourself.

After all, as long as you're strong enough, you'll still be respected even if you play for multiple teams.

In Wayne's previous life, Shaq had collected all the colorful robes, but had anyone ever questioned his status?

Haslem has worked hard in Miami all his life, but will he become a superstar in history?

To put it bluntly, competitive sports still have to speak with strength.

Here I have to mention Chairman Yao, if he was not so loyal back then, he did not refuse the invitation of the "Zen Master" Jackson......

Don't say it, it's all tears.

I hope that in this life, Chairman Yao's fate will not be so tragic.

"Hmm...... Looks like you're calm, Wayne. I thought after Patterson told you so much, you had lost your heart on Portland. Schwartz smiled, and he was a little surprised by the composure Wayne had shown during this time.

Tony, who is two years older than Wayne, doesn't have as clear thoughts as Wayne.

"Dead hearted...... Why, you have to play for at least one team to have feelings. Until then, everything they say is a blank promise. ”

Wayne shrugged, having said that, he estimated that he would most likely be taking root in the City of Roses next season.

In a few places after the tryout, sure enough, the attitude towards Wayne was far less enthusiastic than Patterson's.

In Salt Lake City, the team's general manager wasn't even there, and Sloan, the old coach, just casually came to take a look.

As soon as the trial ended, Wayne and Schwartz left directly, and the Jazz didn't even bother to draw pies, so naturally it was impossible to get their assurance.

In Oakland, the Warriors' attitude towards Wayne was also tepid. Their ambiguous attitude even made Schwartz a little angry.

If it weren't for the sake of maintaining a good relationship, Schwartz really wanted to scold his mother.

If you don't want to choose, don't let you come to the trial, it's a waste of everyone's time, why bother?

In Boston, Danny. Angie had another pie and introduced Wayne to the glorious history of the Celtics.

It is worth mentioning that Wayne was also arranged in Boston with Al. Jefferson played a 1-on-1 game, and the result was a complete victory for Wayne.

Although in the future, Jefferson's interior offense can be called a must.

But after all, Jefferson was still a high school student at this time, and he couldn't stand the torture of an old driver like Wayne.

After a heads-up, Danny. Angie seemed to be impressed by Wayne, and he found that this Chinese was stronger than he expected.

And, if Tony and Wayne were to be taken together, it would also seem to help them settle into the team faster.

So, Angie also said, "I promise we'll pick Wayne with the 15th pick." ”

Well, if they get it.

Some people, on the surface, are very enthusiastic, but in fact, they are full of thoughts about how to pick up the leaks.

And the city of Boston...... Wayne didn't really like it.

That's right, no.

Portland, Salt Lake City, Oakland, these places, Wayne also doesn't like it, but he doesn't reject it.

But Boston, Wayne is really a little resistant.

The old white city is over, and few people in the NBA want to come to Boston to play on the road.

Wayne is here to play and make money, but he can't bother to suffer from those bad angers.

After going around in a circle, it is still the pioneer who is the most sincere and most in line with expectations.

So when Wayne and Schwartz boarded the plane to Indianapolis, Wayne didn't expect much from the Pacers.

As everyone knows, Bird actually came to the airport to greet them in person.

And an hour earlier, Bird had already dialed Seattle SuperSonics general manager Wally. Walker's phone.

He knew that the other side wanted a qualified main point guard, and he also knew that the other side did not want to choose Robert. Swift, a high school center, wants to be a high-school center. Allen and Lewis made the playoffs.

So, Bird took advantage of these two points and sent a proposal.

A proposal that might allow him to take Wayne ahead of the Trail Blazers.
