Chapter 20: Counterattack (2)
The two fathers and sons watched this until the evening, and after dinner, Zhang Fu, who had regained his confidence, returned to the trial site. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are some unwritten rules in the NBA joint tryout, such as that every player has two opportunities to challenge the others, and he has to use that right now to regain his confidence.
He lost to Stackhouse in the afternoon, but Zhang believes it was just an accident, maybe it was bad luck, maybe it was a lack of preparation, or it was not enough...... In short, it has nothing to do with his strength.
In fact, he doesn't have to bother to think of so many excuses, one age question is enough to explain everything.
Stackhouse and Stoudemire are both three years older than him, and it's not a great honor to win him, and there's no shame in him losing, as long as he performs normally in the 5v5 confrontation, this trial has been good enough, and the talent he showed in the physical testing phase is what all teams value the most, and everything else can be improved slowly.
The agents on the scene naturally knew these truths, so Zhang Mo was invited by countless teams and agents at dinner time, and these people wanted to contact the two fathers and sons alone.
Father and son have now recognized the importance of a good agent for an NBA player.
David Falclaugh, who once created a big scene with Jordan, gave a lot of help on Jordan's path to becoming a god.
Later, Kobe's agent Pelinka, who was able to hype Kobe Bryant into an All-Star when he was on the bench, was enough to write into the agent's textbook. Although some fans later thought that Kobe Bryant was very similar to Jordan in 98, there were more people like Jordan in that era, and there were a lot of players who were stronger than Kobe Bryant at that time, and Pelinka's role could not be ignored.
However, it is too early to talk about this, and the father and son are ready to wait until after the joint trial to find a good agent, and the immediate priority is to restart the 1v1 competition.
After Zhang Zhu came to the scene again, many people's eyes looked over, and they all remembered that in the afternoon, Zhang Qi planned to challenge Stackhouse again to clear his name, and no one would have an excuse to stop him anymore.
Stackhouse stared confidently at Zhang Qi from a distance, ready to teach the Australian genius another lesson.
"Don't worry, I want to warm up first." Zhang Qi walked in front of Stackhouse, suddenly showed a teasing expression, and then slowly turned his gaze to Garnett next to him, and showed a bright smile at another high school rookie: "Big man, we are the only two high school students in this trial camp, now it's time to prove who is the strongest high school student, do you dare to accept my challenge?" ”
Garnett was stunned, he had already turned down several challenges in the afternoon, because his agent told him that he should never participate in heads-up matches, but Zhang's challenge made it difficult for him to say no.
Those people in the afternoon, Garnett can use his youth as an excuse to refuse, but this guy in front of him is younger than him, and if he doesn't accept the challenge, he really can't get over it.
Don't think that face is not important, an athlete can't lose face if he loses anything, because face is their self-confidence. This is also the reason why Zhang Qi must challenge Stackhouse again, without self-confidence and pride, a player will never be able to become a big weapon.
Andy Miller looked anxious not far away, as the agent of the talented high school student, he knows that Garnett is selling potential now, although his skills are not bad, and his style of play is close to that of a small forward, but this kind of heads-up game is not suitable for him at this stage.
Now Garnett's real role is to quickly pack and block on the weak side in 5v5 games, and on the offensive end he can use the height of the center and the skills of a small forward to create a misaligned advantage, but due to serious shortcomings in his confrontation ability, he is still a future talent with greater potential than instant combat power, and is extremely unsuitable for 1v1 confrontation with people before gaining weight.
Although the Australian high school student lost to Starker House in the afternoon, he almost defeated "Little Squirrel" Stoudemire, so it can be seen that his instant combat ability is not bad, and he is more mature physically, and he has a good chance to win against Garnett, but this will seriously affect Garnett's draft market.
But now Andy Miller is as embarrassed as Garnett on the court, Zhang Mao's words almost blocked their excuse for refusing to challenge, and now the youngest player in the trial camp is not Garnett, Zhang Mao is the youngest player in the game, he is 11 months younger than Garnett, if he doesn't even dare to take such a challenge, it will also reduce Garnett's draft market.
"Big man, you can do it, go up and kill him!"
"Hurry up, don't let Australian high school students look down on us!"
"Kevin, you represent the United States, you must kill that Australian parallel import!"
"Boy, you're going to be torn apart by Kevin!"
The rookie on the sidelines began to heckle again, constantly using such inflammatory words to force Garnett to fight.
These people don't just see Zhang Qi as a threat, Garnett is also a competitor to many people, no matter what the outcome of these two heads-ups, there will definitely be one person who lowers the draft market because of the loss of the game, and they will definitely benefit, and these two heads-up is a good thing for others.
"Okay, I'll fight!" Garnett heard the words "representing the United States" on the sidelines, and it was impossible for him to refuse, so he could only take his first heads-up game.
Stackhouse snorted and took a step back, he was also happy to see the two high school students lose both, and even preferred Garnett to be defeated, because he had already beaten Zhang before that, if the Australian rookie killed Garnett, he would beat Zhang again in a while, then his draft pick would be more secure.
Zhang Yu chose to challenge Garnett first, in addition to proving that he is the strongest high school student in this draft, but also wants to see what is stronger in this guy with better comprehensive athletic ability than him? At the same time, it is also to accumulate confidence for the next game against Starkhouse, which is a bit of a meaning of brushing low-level dungeons to accumulate equipment before fighting the boss.
"The system actually thinks that my current physical fitness is not as good as his, but in addition to being tall, where else is this guy better than me?" Zhang Yu was dismissive of the rumor of touching the top edge of the rebound, this kind of news can't even be deceived by fake fans.
After Garnett accepted Zhang Mao's challenge, he let go of his burden.
He is also confident in himself, this Australian genius dares to look down on himself, he will definitely make the other party pay, he is not a soft persimmon!
"You don't have a chance to win me......" Zhang Yu was smart this time, pretending to be only half of it, this was to prevent one from being slapped in the face, and only after shooting the basketball did he say the other half of the shit: "Start with this jump shot!" ”
Garnett will also be a good trash talker in the future, although he belongs to the "vulgar" faction, but at least he will not suffer from trash talk.
But this will not even have the nickname of "Wolf King" Garnett, who has not activated this skill, in the face of Zhang Zhu, who has his own level of trash talk, he can't think of any words to fight back, so he can only act as if he didn't hear the other party's provocation, and shoot with a stomach of displeasure.
"Bang dang!" Garnett had a good mid-range shot in high school, but now his consistency has deteriorated a lot, and he's actively gaining weight and training strength during this time.
Young rookies in the NBA are generally not allowed to shoot because increasing strength affects the muscle memory of shooting, and players under the age of 20 lack consistency in the first two seasons, unless they are juniors and seniors who have already developed their strength.
Zhang's mid-range shooting is very consistent, which is a reflection of talent, and he is now gaining a few pounds every month, but it does not affect his shooting consistency very much.
Of course, in addition to his outstanding talent, the virtual training function also helped Zhang Fu a lot, and he regained all the muscle memory lost during the day in his sleep, which allowed him not to miss a single shot in the several shots that were competing for offensive rights today.
