Chapter 113: Questioning and Affirmation
"Well, Deng, you now do a five-point shot, 10 balls per spot."
Whitebeard Trainer pointed to five carts with ten basketballs in two bottom corners, forty-five degrees to the left and right, and the top of the arc.
The position of the cart represents five shooting points.
At this moment, the wheels of the cart have been stuck and fixed by the brake plates.
Deng Hongfei instantly understood what he meant, and indifferently stood at the bottom corner of the three-point line on the left side of the basket.
"Do you need to warm up?"
The kind trainer also reminded me one more time.
Deng Hongfei waved his hand with great confidence, took the ball out of the ball slot of the cart, and threw it with his hand.
One arrow through the heart!
A good start is half the battle.
Deng's performance on this side quickly caught the attention of Mike D'Antoni.
"This Chinese player is the one Chris Deng who has been seriously injured, right?"
D'Antoni blinked curiously.
"Yes."
The assistant next to him nodded earnestly.
I watched it for a while, all the way to the top of the arc.
Deng Hongfei has already shot three points, a total of 30 balls, showing a good hit rate, only two balls missed, and the stability is excellent.
D'Antoni said: "What does Mr. Ku say about this player? ”
"Mr. Ku has a high opinion of him, thinking that he is a player with a high basketball IQ, very similar to Jeremy Milling, playing with his brain."
"Hmm."
D'Antoni bowed silently, and then took Deng Hongfei's information from his assistant.
Looking at it, he frowned, "Patella comminuted fracture, this is a big injury, I'm worried about his state." ”
"In addition, has Mr. Ku confirmed the authenticity of this player's age, our only signing this year is in the second round, although the order is not high, but it is best to find a good price-performance baby."
"Hmm." The assistant nodded approvingly, "Then who do you think is better, he or Kelly?" ”
Kelly, aka Ryan Kelly, is from Duke University.
He has played against Deng Hongfei in China before, and he is also a rookie that the Lakers focus on this time.
D'Antoni kept seeing Deng Hongfei's fixed-point shooting end, "50 balls, 4 shots, good hand." ”
"Look at how the catch-and-shoot is on the run."
D'Antoni glanced at the tryouts gathered on the other pitches, "Wait a minute, get everyone together and let them play in groups, I need to see how everyone performs in the game." ”
"Okay."
When the assistant heard this, he immediately got up and went to do it.
And here, Deng Hongfei's running ability has completely attracted D'Antoni.
The stability is high and the performance is impeccable.
It's just that he immediately showed an extremely tangled look on his face.
Injuries, age, two issues that can't be ignored have cast a cloud of dust on the rookie who was already fully qualified to enter the first round.
So much so that his name is not visible on the draft prediction list now.
For all tryouts, the Lakers' coaching staff has done deep research.
The team's management also rated different players, and this Chinese is the only one with two ratings.
The first score is to eliminate all uncertainties.
The second score is based on all uncertain negative factors such as age doubts and injury doubts.
The score of the former is the highest among all the rookies participating in the training;
The latter's score can only be reduced to the bottom three or four.
——
The people who participated in the confrontation quickly rallied.
Deng Hongfei saw Kelly standing opposite.
The latter is in the White team lineup.
Kelly apparently recognized him as well, and said hello happily.
The white-bearded old man who trained Deng Hongfei before stood in front of everyone and laid out the lineup in detail.
The players on both sides then dispersed.
The game adopts a time-free, normal rules system.
The two sides have no time limit to fight, and the coaching staff has the final say when to stop.
The score license is often calculated, and the game is imminent.
Deng Hongfei soon discovered that in this kind of confrontation, the person who has the ball often does not pass the ball easily, and wants to show his best in front of the coaching staff.
So much so that for the first five or six rounds, he didn't even touch the ball.
Not to mention shooting.
It's just that the coaching staff on the sidelines saw it clearly, and D'Antoni turned his head to the coaching staff and said, "See, everyone on this field is doing their best to ask for the ball and show themselves, only one person is different." ”
He's a coach who is good at spotting players in the back line.
D'Antoni has his own unique understanding of small players.
The rest of the coaching staff also nodded, "That Chinese played very reasonably, his running position was quite good. ”
"Yes, other people can fight alone, that Chinese is always tirelessly taking advantage of all kinds of conditions to run, detours, circles, using the containment of melee, all in all, his off-ball running makes me feel very surprised."
"Right now our point guard doesn't want to pass the ball, but what if it's a real game?"
D'Antoni nodded his head as he spoke, undisguised with admiration in his eyes.
"Yes, I think this Chinese is better than Kelly."
The rest of the coaching staff agreed.
Running off the ball alone is enough to make people ecstatic.
A good off-the-ball player is hard to come by.
Deng Hongfei's first touch of the ball came in the fifth minute of the game.
His big forward died with his back to the basket and couldn't shoot, so he happened to aim at Deng Hongfei, who ran in front of him from behind.
Without thinking about it, he threw the ball out.
He doesn't want to take the blame, the previous rhythm has been delayed enough, there are not a few seconds left in the offensive time, and it is a mistake not to shoot again, and the probability of hitting the iron or even three non-sticks in this position and state is very high.
Throw the ball to this Chinese, just buckle the black pot to the opponent's head.
And if you are lucky, it will also mean that you have passed the ball well.
This is the first motivation for the black power forward in Deng Hongfei's team to pass the ball - to throw the pot.
All in all, it's a sure-fire deal for him.
Deng Hongfei didn't have much psychological drama, the moment he touched the ball, it was like returning to the training ground, and he paid attention to the position of the defender all the way in the process of running.
In an instant, he judged how much space there was behind his birth, and without hesitation, he immediately chose to turn over and jump shot.
As always, the ball is flicked off the wrist in a flowing and dashing manner.
He repeated this action many times, and the moment the ball left from his fingertips, Deng Hongfei knew in his heart that it was probably no problem.
Sure enough, the basketball rotated around the basket and dropped the bag, precise and stable.
The first goal was scored.
This performance made the Lakers coaching staff on the sidelines nod their heads incessantly.
The whole running position was smooth and fast, and the whole process from receiving the ball to shooting was impeccable.
D'Antoni now has only one thought in his heart, as long as Deng Hongfei can prove that he can continue to be so stable through the next games, then he will report this player to the team management anyway as the first choice for the draft!
