"Hurley-san, 51 seconds!" Coach Focier pressed the timer. At this time, Booker also rushed back, "Booker, 54 seconds!" ”

"Boss, if you start faster, you'll be faster than me! It feels like you can run effortlessly in 51 seconds! Ravan handed over the towel.

Haugist took the towel and put it on his head without speaking, and Lang Dai said on the side: "Zach, don't you understand? Hoggist was running at a constant pace the whole time, which means that he was 3 seconds per switchback, and this precise control showed that he was completely at ease, calculating Booker's ability from the beginning, and deliberately only beating him by a small margin. ”

"You're thinking too badly, aren't you? Am I the kind of person who works tricks? Who have I reckoned with you? Hoggist looked at Hollis Jefferson in surprise, "Is that what I gave you?" ”

"And why are you doing that?" Lang Dai asked.

"In Nevada, where high school basketball is limited, the official standard for high school players is slightly lower than what is commonly used in other states, where we have a 62-second pass, 57 seconds is good, and 52 seconds is excellent. I'm used to running for 51 seconds, and although I might be able to run faster, I'll be as tired as you are. Running for 51 seconds is the most effortless. Of course, I'm not talking about Booker, I'm talking about all of you...... You can try to run at a constant pace. Hougist said.

In his second-floor office, Popovich had finished a whole bottle of red wine and was sitting in the back of a wide chair with his eyes closed. Only Budenholzer was still staring at every move on the pitch through the glass. When he saw the switchback test that Haugist had easily completed, he hurried to his office chair and tried to shake Popovich awake, but Popovich did not move, and there was even a slight snoring sound, and it turned out that Popovich was drunk and unconscious.

"Wake up!" Budenholzer put a lot of effort on his hand, but accidentally shook Popovich down, slammed his face on the desk, and his already red rosacea became more vivid. The sharp pain only made Popovich barely open his sleepy eyes. Confused, he asked, "What's the matter?" Did the kid come to the tryout? ”

"The trial is tomorrow! Wake up, I've found a very good high school student! Budenholzer urged.

"How powerful? Don't bother me dreaming if I'm not better than LeBron or Kobe, I'm swimming in the vineyards of Burgundy! ”

"How many high school students in the world can beat the two of them? However, this high school is also quite interesting, he can complete the switchback run at a constant pace in 51 seconds. ”

"What kind of ability is a switchback run in 51 seconds? Such results also disturb my dreams? Wait a minute...... You say a switchback run at a constant speed? 51 seconds? "Popovich's wine was half awake in an instant." Who is it? ”

"Yes! It's the kid who scored 83 points and scored 5 doubles in the Nevada high school league! Budenholzer pointed through the glass to Haujist, who was on the sidelines with a towel.

"Interesting, let's observe this kid together today, Mike, open another bottle of red wine, you and I drink it." Popovich was in high spirits and at the same time in high spirits.

"You've run out of metrics for today, you can't drink anymore!" Budenholzer reminded.

"Of course I know, so I asked you to bring tomorrow's wine, and I temporarily decided to quit drinking tomorrow!" Popovich quibbled.

Budenholzer walked to the wine cabinet and pressed it indiscriminately on the combination lock, and after a while, the wine cabinet combination lock sounded: "There are too many password errors, please try again in 24 hours." ”

“FXXK！” Popovich cursed angrily and sat helplessly in his large office chair and arched to the window.

And everyone on the sidelines listened to Hoggist's introduction to the experience thoughtfully, and many people felt that it made sense, and they couldn't stop nodding. Hollis-Jefferson was also eager to try it, and planned to get on the third one, trying what Hoggist called a constant speed run, but Hougist grabbed him and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll try what you said to run at a constant speed!" Hollis Jefferson said.

"What speed do you want?" Hougist asked.

"What's the speed?" Hollis Jefferson indicates a black question mark face.

"My 3-second constant speed, do you know how long I've been practicing? If you don't try to figure out the fastest speed you can sustain first, you just try to run at a uniform speed, and you fail it or not, believe it or not! Hoggist reminded.

"I see, if you don't say how many people you have to pit today!" Hollis Jefferson laughed.

Hollis Jefferson stood on the starting line, and the little man on the other side also stood up, Anderson and Sabonis knew that their height was slow, and they didn't want to lose too ugly, so they planned to find a big and tall opponent to compete with each other later, maybe there was a chance to win?

Coach Fogier blew the whistle again, and both men sped to their original rhythm. Sure enough, the little man had plenty of explosiveness and stamina, and easily beat Hollis-Jefferson to complete the test in 50 seconds, while Hollis-Jefferson took 54 seconds to complete the test.

Some of the elite local high school students tested later advanced into 55 seconds, but most of them were in the range of 55 seconds to 60 seconds, and even some big men could not run for 1 minute. Sabonis was not bad, completing the test in 57 seconds. And after all the tests, the last place in the first round was actually Kyle. Anderson grabbed the strength. Anderson was not only slow to run, but also ridiculously slow to turn, and it took 75 seconds to complete the test.

After resting for a while, the second round of testing began, and Laven obeyed the instructions and did not force the turn with his waist and abdominal strength, but the speed was still not slow, and the test was completed in 50 seconds. Hogist still ran at a constant pace of 51 seconds to complete the test, and Booker adjusted his pace and also ran for 51 seconds. The others didn't change much, but Anderson ran a 78-second time even more frantically.

Popovich really looked upstairs and said to Budenholzer: "This kid is amazing, the rhythm is not bad!" I just don't know if his rhythm can change as he wants. However, this requirement is really difficult for him, if he can control the rhythm freely, it is a notch higher than being able to stabilize the rhythm freely. ”

"You can't ask a high school student to be at Manu's level!" Budenholzer said helplessly, "Haugist's sense of rhythm is unmatched among the high school students invited this time." ”

"Well, we're not in a hurry to draw conclusions, let's see, look again......"

After a short break, Coach Fusier began to lead them to test their shooting ability, the rule is that the outside players stand at any point outside the 3-point line and hold the ball to get ready, and immediately after the test starts, shoot, rush to rebound, dribble or throw, and reshoot, and continue to do it quickly; Calculate the total time spent by a player in accumulating 15 shots. If the test player does not make 15 shots after 2 minutes, he is forced to stop shooting and the number of shots and shots made in 2 minutes is recorded. Interior players stand at any point outside the paint area and hold the ball to get ready, and immediately after the test starts, shoot, rush to rebound, dribble or throw, and reshoot, and make rapid progress; Calculate the total time spent by a player in accumulating 20 shots. If the test player does not make 20 shots after 2 minutes, they are forced to stop shooting, and the number of shots and shots made in 2 minutes is recorded.

After explaining the test rules, Coach Faucier asked everyone to voluntarily come out for the test, and they could voluntarily choose to accept the inside and outside test, and the two baskets were played at the same time. At this time, LaVine hid behind the others, unwilling to be tested first, and it seemed that his projection was really not good. Hollis Jefferson was tested first, and the front shot was very smooth, almost without missing a shot, but after 10 consecutive hits, he began to lose his physical strength, constantly hitting iron, and hit his 15th three-pointer at the buzzer in the last 2 minutes, and shot 15 of 23 in 2 minutes, and the 65.2% shooting rate was already very good under the rhythm of unguarded fast self-grabbing and self-shooting.

Next is Hoggist, Hougist is very confident in shooting, deliberately at the top of the arc to use a faster bumpy shot, finger plucking the ball is very fast, adding a strong spin to the ball, basically every ball can be smashed in the back of the basket along the net, directly bounced back to the place near the free throw line, Haugist immediately strode into the three-point line after the completion of the shot, received the ball and stepped back directly to the three-point line to continue to shoot, the efficiency is amazing, it took only 45 seconds to shoot 15 three-pointers in a row, and easily completed the test.

Popovich saw the way Haugist finished the test, and bounced off the soft leather office chair, this precise control of the shot, the grasp of the rhythm, almost like a robot! "His shot is so accurate, isn't it Chip's elaborate work?"

"No, the information provided by Henry shows that his shooting is an absolute talent, in junior high school his shooting posture is very non-standardized, but the shooting rate is extremely high, when he was in high school, he changed the standard hand style, after a period of time, but finally found the shooting percentage. But his shooting range is just around the NBA's standard three-point line. Budenholzer flipped through the information and introduced.

"The shooting range has already met the NBA three-point line, why do you still say it's just?" Popovich asked, puzzled.

"Because according to Henry, there is a high school student at another middle school in this state championship game who can shoot normally near the halfway line, and the shooting percentage is not low." Budenholzer explained.

"Oh? And such strange people? Why didn't you invite him to San Antonio? Popovich asked.

"Because he was defended 10-of-49 by Hoggist in the final, Hoggist relied on his perseverance to hit the iron and send the hat to cut five doubles."

"I see, so Hoggist's defense is not bad?" Popovich continued to ask.

"Not bad, Hoggist did his best to defend the opponent's first strong point in the final, and he didn't get too involved in the attack, and Henry even thought at first that Hoggist was the same player we were trying out tomorrow, the outside defensive gate. It wasn't until I watched all the footage of his games that I realized that he was a player who was good both offensively and defensively. To put it mildly, he is the strongest person in the group of players in the training camp! Budenholzer said.

"Oh, I have an idea." Popovich smiled mysteriously.

"What thoughts?"

"Let Hoggist play against that rookie tomorrow, but only let Hoggist attack, I'm going to test Hoggist's offensive ability, and by the way, see how good the rookie defense you said can be!" Popovich voiced his plan.

"That's not right, Hoggist is only 6 feet 3 feet, and that rookie is over 6 feet 7 feet tall, so the height difference is too big, right?" Budenholzer said worriedly.

"Since you said that Hoggist is stronger than everyone else, I have to give him a strong opponent, I want to see how strong he really is!" Popovich laughed.

"No matter how strong you are, it's not an opponent of a college defensive gate!" Budenholzer tried desperately to overturn Popovich's crazy idea.

"Let them play 10 goals, as long as Hoggist can score 1 goal, in four years I will sign him even if he is a mess!" Popovich said through gritted teeth.

"Well, do as you say!" Budenholzer couldn't resist Old Man Popovich, so he had to pick up his phone and start arranging.

The shooting test on the court was still in full swing, and Booker wanted to imitate Hougist's way, but he couldn't control the landing of the ball, and instead it was self-defeating, scoring only 7 goals in 25 shots in 2 minutes, which was a miserable result. With Booker's previous ruts, everyone also understands that Horgist's control of basketball is not something he can imitate casually, or he still follows his own pace.

It is worth mentioning Kyle. Although Anderson is tall, he took the initiative to choose the test of the outside player, although he was slow to shoot, slow to catch, and even slower to get out of the three-point line, but he made exactly 15 three-pointers in 2 minutes, and hit all of them. The crowd was amazed.

LaVine was the last to complete the test, shooting 9-of-30 three-pointers in 2 minutes, and his shooting percentage was miserable, ranking second to last. In the second round, Booker, who was from the bottom, rechallenged at his own pace, making 15 three-pointers in 18 shots in 100 seconds. Hollis Jefferson's results have not changed, while Hougist and Kyle. Anderson chose to be exempt from testing. LaVine, who fell to the bottom of the line, also put down the dignity of an outside player, chose an inside player test, solved the battle in 80 seconds, and almost every ball was a wipe throw. This result is among the best interior players, second only to Sabonis.

The next test is the individual defensive ability, the two groups of "GDP" and "Twin Towers" fight each other, each with five offensive chances, to see who can defend the ball more. Booker had long been eyeing Hoggist, and as soon as Coach Fosier finished talking about the rules, he took the initiative to stand up and ask for a defense of Hoggist.
