Chapter 24 Zhang Feng is not very suitable
Zhang Feng's hacking came to an end after this interview, and Finney's conspiracy was perfectly resolved. The next trial is only the actual confrontation, the actual confrontation is the most attractive attention, as long as the performance in the actual confrontation is good, you can basically get the opportunity, in the previous NBA draft, there are many players with explosive physical fitness, but the actual confrontation did not play well and did not get a good draft ranking.
For example, the famous NBA dunker James . White, the bounce is very good, the free throw line jumping dunk is commonplace, but in the end the career is very bad, because he only has excellent physical fitness but average actual combat ability.
After a hasty lunch, Zhang Fen came to the training center like many rookies, and it was obvious that everyone was excited or nervous waiting for the group to conduct the actual combat confrontation, and Frank said that he must have an excellent performance in the actual combat confrontation.
Soon the results of the grouping came out, Zhang Feng was divided into Group B, and the people in Group B were naturally led by Zhang Feng, and Zhang Feng's excellent physical fitness results convinced the people in Group B. Frank was placed in Group A, and needless to say, Frank became the leader of Group A, and the rest were placed in Group C.
The actual combat confrontation is a wheel battle, and the three groups of ABC take turns to fight. Not everyone has to brush up on scores, assists, rebounds, steals and other data, different people have different positioning, Zhang Feng's positioning as a point guard is to score and assist, and to assist, it is natural to organize offense and connect teammates.
The first group of confrontations is Group A and Group B, after the jump ball is completed, Zhang Feng gets the ball, quickly advances to the frontcourt, does not call for blocking, facing Frank is a three-point, Franck's jump block has no effect at all, and directly hollows into the net.
turned around and played again, Frank controlled the ball, Zhang Feng directly gestured to the whole court, and all the players in Group B implemented tactics, Zhang Feng forced Frank to choose to pass the ball with his hands up and down. This pass is right in Zhang Feng's arms, and his quick eye is a steal. Group A was robbed in the backcourt, the rhythm was chaotic, Zhang Feng passed the ball to the players on the bottom line, and it was three points into the net.
This time Frank was on fire, Zhang Feng first headed three points on his head, and then made a steal, if he didn't hit the response ball, I was afraid that his own Knicks journey was hopeless. Frank secretly exerted his strength, quickly brought the ball to the front court, and when he saw Zhang Feng coming to defend him, he jumped and shot directly. This shooting opportunity is not good, the people in Group A have not yet finished their positions, Zhang Feng is very close, this kind of ball generally will not hit, if it is not hit, it is easy to be counterattacked defensively.
Frank jumped, and so did Zhang Feng. At this time, Zhang Feng's bouncing advantage was fully reflected, because, Frank was covered, Frank's ball was just thrown, and Zhang Feng was facing the big hat, and the players in Group B saw Zhang Feng's cap and quickly grabbed the ball, two to one, and the players in Group B scored easily on the layup.
No one expected that the confrontation between Group A and Group B was not evenly matched, but showed a one-sided situation, Group B opened 8-0, these three offenses Zhang Feng are dominant, a 3-point, a steal and assist, a block, the all-round basketball skills are reflected in Ling's deviant, and he also organized his teammates to come to a full-court press.
At this moment, Franke's eyes were on fire, Zhang Feng was too faceless, and the 3 balls were all aimed at him. However, Zhang Feng didn't think so, no matter who it was, he would fight like this.
In addition to the head coach Hornacek, who has always been there, Anthony, the star of the house, also came to the training center to watch the performance of the trial players. Although it has been rumored that Anthony has no intention of continuing to stay in the Knicks, after all, he is the star of the house before he leaves, and everyone secretly encourages them to play more seriously when they see Anthony's arrival, and strive to be appreciated by the boss.
In the next attack, Zhang Feng no longer went all out, but chose to play normally and give other players more opportunities. After a few more rounds, the score of Group A and Group B came to 25:43, and Zhang Feng got 15 points, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Hornacek had decided earlier to recommend Zhang Feng to management, and now Anthony is here, taking the opportunity to find out what Anthony is talking about.
"Hey, Melo, this Asian is not bad, more versatile, that Frank is also not bad, and his scoring ability is okay", Hornacek is not good at directly expressing his will, so he can only praise the two together, but the evaluation is obviously different.
Anthony didn't seem to care, and said casually: "The performance of Asians is inconsistent, and the other meaning of omnipotence is that they are not very prominent, Rose is gone, the team lacks a consistent scorer, I think Frank is good." ”
didn't expect Anthony to be so direct, Hornacek didn't know what to continue to say for a while, so he could only continue to watch the trial confrontation without responding.
After half an hour, the confrontation between Group A and Group B ended, Group B won, Zhang Feng achieved 25 points, 12 assists, 5 steals, 5 blocks and 8 rebounds all-round data, Frank scored more outstanding points and scored 30 points.
The next group A and group C, the confrontation between group B and group C is not very interesting, and in the confrontation with group C, Zhang Feng chose more shots, and finally scored a high score of 40 points, and the statistics such as assists are average. Frank also had a better match against Group C than he did in Group B, scoring 35 points.
At this point, after the actual confrontation, it is obvious who is the best player, many people congratulated Zhang Feng, and Kazak was even more excited, but Hornacek on the sidelines had a heavy face, and Anthony was relaxed, and said with a smile: "This Frank is really powerful, 30 points and 35 points, although the Asian has a high score, his teammates and opponents are not performing well, and there is no reference value." ”。
Saying this again, Hornassark fully understood what Anthony meant, but he thought that Anthony might be the one who was leaving, and he still didn't want to give up in his heart, and planned to communicate the matter directly with Phil Jackson later.
At the end of the Knicks' trial trip, Zhang Feng did not accept media interviews and returned directly to the rental house, ready to go to the Kings for a tryout.
In the evening, Zhang Feng asked Steve and others to eat Chinese food in the training room to celebrate the perfect end of the Knicks trial trip.
"Harry, the only Chinese food we remember is hot pot, Sichuan cuisine, and Peking duck, but I didn't expect such exquisite knife dishes to catch up with French food," Steve said to Harry as he picked up the dishes.
Zhang Feng smiled and didn't say much, he had also eaten French food, from his understanding, French cuisine is characterized by ingredients and cooking methods, speaking of knife work, it is really 108,000 miles behind Chinese food.
Late at night, Hornacek called Phil Jackson at home, "Hi Phil, Phil, the Asian Zhang Feng on this trial is doing very well, I suggest we use the first-round pick to select him, I even think he can be the cornerstone of the future team."
Phil Jackson on the other end of the phone was silent, and then said: "We don't need to choose him, I understand the situation of the trial, Frank is completely suitable for us, and there is a problem of player communication when choosing an Asian." ”。
Hornacek didn't expect Phil Jackson to have this attitude at all, and he was very puzzled why Anthony and Phil Jackson deliberately ignored Zhang Feng's excellent performance and had to choose a much worse Frank.
