Chapter 184: Draft Tetralogy (3): Showcase (3rd Update)
In June, rookie tryouts for each team began one after another.
While other rookies and fringers of the league were still on the ground running for a job, Bill Duffy threw a grand solo showcase for Roy.
Under Bill Duffy's careful planning, a total of 24 NBA team general managers or chief scouts came to Los Angeles, and many media reporters came to Los Angeles.
Together, they witnessed Roy's open training.
Under the burning gaze of everyone, Roy completed the physical tests as usual.
The results of this physical test once again blinded the eyes of everyone present, compared to the data more than a month ago, Roy has grown again, he has grown 1 cm taller, his barefoot height has reached 196.5 cm, his height in shoes has exceeded two meters, his arm span has extended to 215 cm, and his weight has also increased to 92 kg under Bob's careful conditioning.
On the premise of increasing both height and weight, Roy's two speed statistics have not decreased significantly, and his three-quarter sprint is still under 3 seconds, which can reach 2.89 seconds, and the baseline switchback running time is shortened to 10.25 seconds.
In addition, the most noteworthy is the bouncing and touch height stats, because Roy's height and arm span have increased, and his bounce and touch height have become more terrifying.
The bounce is 94 cm in situ, and the bouncing in place is 360 cm high.
The maximum vertical bounce (run-up jump) is 106 cm, and the maximum vertical bounce is 372 cm.
There is no doubt that Roy's body is more perfect.
Now his body template is really closer to McGrady, but he's the perfect Maddie who doesn't hurt his waist.
Managers, scouts and media at the scene were all amazed by Roy's growth rate, although these physical test data, Roy had unreservedly displayed in the previous draft joint training camp, but this physical test undoubtedly strengthened everyone's memory again.
Of course, the body test is just a side dish, Roy's meal, and what he really wants to show is his own technique.
That's right, Roy wants everyone to see his anti-sky shooting skills.
Fixed-point shooting, on-the-go shooting, mid-range shooting, free throws, three-pointers, these are the things that Bill Duffy has carefully designed to showcase, and almost all shooting techniques are comprehensive.
Duffy cleverly drew the shooting points on the court and gave each viewer a map of the court points to record Roy's shooting percentage.
And Roy's answer sheet is quite terrifying:
●One-step fixed-point shooting inside the three-point line: 27 of 30 shots, 90.00% shooting percentage
●One-step shooting from the three-point line: 26 of 30 shots, 86.67% shooting.
●Three-point shooting: 25 of 30 shots, 83.33% shooting.
●Three-point shooting on the run: 22 of 30 shots, 73.33% shooting.
●Free throws: 29 of 30 shots, 96.67% shooting.
These don't count, in the end, Roy also improvised a "Jordan-style step-back jumper", also shot 30, 15 inside and outside the three-point line, using such a complex shooting action Roy also made 24, with a shooting rate of 80%, Roy's shooting ability can be seen.
Seeing such a physical and excellent projection ability of Roy, the representatives of various teams were undoubtedly shocked. Roy made them think a lot, such as James and Durant, who were fledgling that year. When it comes to the two of them, James is physically invincible but slightly less skilled, while Durant is delicate but skinny.
As for Roy in front of him, although he is not as physically as good as James, and his technical comprehensiveness is slightly inferior to Durant, if you add these two factors, and only talk about outside offensive ability and physical ability, Roy is on par with the above two superstars.
Roy is worth the gamble, and all the delegates here have come to this conclusion......
After the end of the exhibition day, the media overwhelming publicity for Roy began, and with the authorization of Bill Duffy, various media outlets obtained the video materials of Roy Showcase Day, and this video went viral to the United States and even the world through the developed Internet.
Roy's anti-heaven body stats, Roy's "Jia shot" and "Jordan-style step-back jumper" were all displayed in front of every fan with the network.
Now almost all basketball fans in the United States know that there is a Chinese high school player named Roy in the NBA who is going to participate in the draft this year, and his ranking will be very high.
Indeed, in the latest ESPN mock draft, Roy has already finished in the top three, and he even squeezed out Ingram for a while to reach the second place.
Will Roy become another Chinese champion? This is a hot topic on the Internet.
Not to be outdone, Ingram then quickly mobilized a team of agents to hold a showcase, and the time was tight, just a week after Roy completed the showcase.
So, the mysterious Ingram finally released part of his body measurement data in front of everyone, and yes, only partially.
●Barefoot height: 6 feet 8 inches (203.2 cm).
●Height in shoes: 6 ft 9.5 in (207.01 cm).
● Weight: 196 lbs (88.904 kg).
● Reach: 7 ft 3.25 in (221.615 cm)
●Standing touch height: 9 ft 1.5 in (278.13 cm).
● Maximum vertical bounce touch height: 12 feet (365.75 cm).
You don't have to look at it, these are certainly Ingram's most beautiful and eye-catching stats, just like there will be no strength test at Roy's showcase, there will be no speed test at Ingram's showcase, and his advantage is his reach and touch height.
In order to further hype Ingram, his agent team also recorded a video of Ingram's shooting drill. In order to show that Ingram's skills are better than Roy's, at the end of the video, Ingram also makes a show of a set of shots in a semi-enclosed iron box that only shows his vision.
The video immediately went viral, and Ingram's fans took the opportunity to praise their idols.
For a while, the open and secret battle between Ingram and Roy became a topic of conversation among fans, and Ingram successfully overtook Roy with this wave of hype and returned to the top position.
Roy and Ingram are battling it out for the second spot, with only Ben Simmons on his side.
Simmons' showday was scheduled for the last day of June, and it was said that it was also the idea of his agent, Rich Paul. Because if Simmons can maintain the No. 1 ranking after all the hot rookies have completed the show at the end of June, it means that Ben Simmons can win the top spot without having to perform too hard, and the content of the show may be reduced.
And that's exactly what happened, Ben Simmons was the only NBA 30 team to be interested, and the BA team was so curious about him, not only because of his well-deserved potential, but also because he withdrew from the joint training camp in Chicago, it seems that Rich Paul's hunger marketing has achieved its purpose.
However, compared to his superb hype skills, Ben Simmons' physical test data is not too good.
● Barefoot height: 6 feet 8.25 inches (203.835 cm).
●Height in shoes: 6 ft 10.25 in (208.915 cm).
● Weight: 240 lbs (108.862 kg).
● Arm Span: 7 ft 0.5 in (214.63 cm)
● Standing touch height: 8 ft 11 in (271.78 cm).
● Bounce in place: 31.5 inches (80.01 cm).
● Maximum vertical bounce (run-up bounce): 33.1 inches (85.09 cm).
●Baseline switchback run: 10.61 seconds.
● 3/4 sprint: 3.05 seconds.
In terms of physical measurements alone, Simmons' physical fitness is not as good as that of Roy and Ingram, and even slightly mediocre. But in the technical training that followed, he completely conquered everyone, unlike Roy's lack of strength and Ingram's technical roughness, Ben Simmons can do almost anything, he can dribble and attack, he can break through people to complete violent dunks, he can read the game to control the situation, and he can even finish the game with a shot. He is well-rounded in attack and not weak defensively, and is stronger than Roy and Ingram, and in order to show his strength, he spared no effort to do 20 sets of 84kg bench press in a row.
It can be said that it is Ben Simmons' all-round talent that allows him to be invincible.
Time passed, and the draft was coming with the three top rookies......
