For the NBA, the ability to change direction over short distances is important.

This short distance is defined as less than or equal to 10 meters.

And the straight-line distance of this test is also about ten meters.

Popovich clearly wanted to see if Deng Hongfei's short-distance change of direction was as good as his three-quarter sprint ability.

He took the timer, stood at the finish line, and blew his whistle.

Deng Hongfei suddenly jumped out of the ground.

Quickly shuttle through each pole in a wavy trajectory.

His steps were briskly on the ground, and the strength of his ankles always provided him with sufficient energy the moment he touched the ground, driving his body to fly off the ground again.

Sidelines.

Both RC Buford and Redden narrowed their eyes.

Although they don't have a watch in their hands, they can see with the naked eye that Deng Hongfei's movement is quite flexible and his ability to change direction is excellent!

Until he crossed the finish line, Popovich nodded with satisfaction and did not say the result, but directly sent him to the five-point shooting area.

At the top of the arc, at the bottom of both sides, and at a 45-degree angle.

Deng Hongfei didn't speak, and took all the calls.

He silently did what he had to do.

Although there was no warm-up before that, it started in a hurry......

"How?"

R.C. Buford leaned over curiously.

Popovich smiled mysteriously, winked at him, and asked, "Curious, right?" ”

"Well, I don't think his grades are bad." Buford nodded earnestly.

"Want to know?" Popovich continued to smile with an indescribable smile.

"Hmm." Buford bowed his head again.

"I won't tell you."

Popovich grinned and grinned as he clenched the timer in his hand and turned his head away as if he had succeeded.

The corners of its slightly raised mouth seen from the side are clearly narrow.

Buford was stunned, then shrugged helplessly, knowing that he had been tricked again.

This old man was always like that, as if he had a serious split personality.

A serious stinky face and a childlike mischievous mentality coexist in his body at the same time, and the fusion is extremely complete, and he can switch between the two states at will at any time, and even compatible with more personalities at the same time.

It's hard to figure out.

On the field, 50 balls were quickly thrown.

Deng Hongfei shook his head a little dissatisfied.

His performance this time was worse than when he tried out with the Lakers and Grizzlies, missing a total of 6 shots.

I looked at Popovich's smile a little apprehensively, but couldn't see anything.

The latter just walked to the court, picked up a ball from the rack, and then asked the staff to remove the rack, pointing to the baseline, sideline, and center line, "Deng, from now on, you run around the four sidelines of the half court quickly, and then reach any shooting area, and I will pass the ball to you." ”

After Popovich finished speaking, he tossed the basketball in his hand and bit the whistle into his mouth.

Deng Hongfei understood.

It's a typical high-speed run shot test, a regular part of off-ball training, and he's been at it for a long time.

He is full of confidence in this.

The footsteps moved, Deng Hongfei started at the midpoint of the sideline, and rushed around the half.

The movement is so fast that it can be seen at a glance that it is not perfunctory.

After a lap was completed quickly, Deng Hongfei cut directly into the field and stood at a 45° angle to make a move to ask for the ball.

Popovich was slightly surprised and immediately threw the ball out, but deliberately made his strength a little less, making Deng Hongfei very uncomfortable.

The latter leaned out halfway to get the ball in his hands, and despite the poor feeling of receiving it, he threw it without hesitation.

The time for adjustment is quite short.

Jumping slightly, he flicked his wrist out, and the basketball swiped through the air......

One arrow through the heart!

"I'm so confident."

Buford doesn't hide his admiration.

Popovich's previous request was to let Deng Hongfei pick any shooting spot, and that shooting spot could include any area within the three-point line.

In other words, he could have gone closer and made a move.

But this guy can run a lap so quickly and choose to shoot at the three-point line, and his whole body is full of strong confidence.

Even Raidon, who was not optimistic about him, began to change his mind.

The staff picks up the ball.

Deng Hongfei started the second lap of running.

The distance of each lap is about 59.13 meters.

The first lap was still full of energy, and the second lap was equivalent to entering the second half of the 100 meters.

And also take into account the change of direction factor at the four corners.

In fact, the consumption is more than 100 meters.

However, Deng Hongfei still maintained a high speed to complete the second lap, and this time after cutting into the field, he chose the front three-point point at the top of the arc!

It's three points again.

Popovich gave the ball very well this time, and after Deng Hongfei caught it, he raised his hand and hit it accurately!

A good off-ball player must have the ability to stably put the ball passed by a teammate into the basket after a high-speed movement.

Therefore, running indirect ball shooting is also a key subject in off-ball training.

The large dose of training has also increased Deng Hongfei's medium and long-range shooting ability.

At the moment, his mid-range shooting ability has grown to 82 and his three-point shooting ability is 71, which is a complete change from a year ago.

You know, a year ago, the values for these two items corresponded to 73 and 55 respectively.

The King of Training system makes his training more efficient and his training results are more effectively retained.

On the third lap, we entered the running state of more than 100 meters.

Still high-speed!

Raidon and Buford were dumbfounded.

At this point, the lactic acid has begun to build up, and the muscles and joints of the body have begun to sound the siren.

He still dared to play like this.

And again, Deng Hongfei stood on the other side at a 45-degree three-point point.

Open hands, eight or nine do not leave ten, but failed to throw.

He clapped his hands in frustration and continued to run wildly for the qualifiers.

On lap four, his pace slowed down a bit, but it was relative, and it was still fast in the eyes of Buford and others.

After the run, I continued to choose a three-division shot.

This time it's the bottom corner.

Following the muscle memory formed by countless trainings, Deng Hongfei's bottom corner is the point he is most sure of.

Stabilize your mind and open your hands to send the ball into the net bag!

Lap 5...... Sixth lap.

Although the speed was getting slower and slower, the young man's face was getting redder and redder, and his breathing was getting shorter and shorter.

Buford began to see a little bit of fame.

He took a deep breath and solemnly said to the assistant next to him, "Scott, he's actually conveying a belief to us. ”

"What faith?"

Redden blinked, a little confused.

Buford locked his eyes on Deng Hongfei deeply, "He told us with his actions that he is a good off-ball player, he is extremely good at running without the ball, and he has a lot of physical strength to be a part of our team." ”

"I'm sure Greg should have read that belief too."

When Buford said this, his tone changed and his tone became solemn, "Greg is right, this player is worthy of us signing directly with a formal contract, with this amazing off-ball ability, those teams who give up on him, wait to regret it!" ”
