On June 13, Zhang went to the Lakers for a tryout before he could fully adjust to the jet lag, which was a day earlier than the originally scheduled time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is Zhang Mao's request to the Lakers on his own initiative, because he still has a lot of teams to go to next, and one day of rest is enough, and the jet lag has little impact on him. From the moment he boarded the plane in Sydney, he adjusted his watch to the American time and began to adapt in advance.

Zhang has long been aware of the NBA's tryout process, having simulated it a few times before using the virtual training function, and now not only knows the whole process, but also knows better than most American rookies how to show his abilities in the tryout.

As mentioned earlier, there are two kinds of tryouts in the NBA, one is a joint tryout, where the general manager and head coach of all teams will go to inspect, and the tryout program for players is relatively fixed; The other is today's intra-team trial, where players will have separate tryouts within the team, and each team will invite interested players by themselves, and then arrange their own trial programs.

Zhang Qian is not the only one who came to the Lakers for a trial today, although they invited Zhang Fu, but they still value his commercial value more and belong to diversified investment.

NBA teams are really optimistic about rookies, generally have a separate tryout, and the coaching staff will only look at him, so that the level and potential of the players can be more accurately identified.

But as it is now, when there are many players on trial, the results of the trial are not accurate.

At the trial site of the Lakers, there are more than a dozen players being tested today, many of whom are veterans who have played in the Development League for several years, and this scene is clearly preparing to select substitute players, which also shows that the Lakers are not very optimistic about Zhang Mao's ability, and eighty percent will not use a first-round pick to select him, and the Lakers will not have a first-round pick at all this year.

"Damn, I watched the news, yesterday they tried out Brent Barry and Michael Finley alone." Zhang began to read the local newspaper as soon as he arrived in the United States, and he knew that the Lakers had tried out a few lottery rookies alone a few days before, but they had not given him such treatment, which made him feel belittled.

But the question is, it seems like he brought it on himself?

People want you to come tomorrow, you have to come today, the Lakers said: Since you can't wait, then you should come early......

Speaking of Brent Barry and Michael Finley, Zhang Zhu is a little disdainful in his heart, he thinks that there are only a few players who can be compared to him in this year's rookies - Joe Smith, Stark House, McDyes, Rasheed Wallace...... There is also the same high school rookie Kevin Garnett as himself, but Zhang Wei feels that this Garnett is at most half an opponent, and the guy who has become a bamboo pole can't compare to him at all, and he can knock that guy into the Pacific Ocean.

Del Harris, the future head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, was flipping through Zhang Mao's scouting report at this time, and he didn't know much about the Australian talent.

Harris belonged to the NBA team of famous coaches in the nineties, and after taking over the Lakers last season, he successfully brought the Lakers back to the playoff group again, and defeated the Seattle SuperSonics who ranked higher in the regular season in the first round, although they lost to the San Antonio Spurs 2:4 in the second round, but it only took him a year to hand over such an answer, and the Lakers are still very satisfied with his team results, and the position is very solid at the moment.

After the Lakers retired due to illness from the Magic, they have been in a half-dead state for three years, and in 1992 the regular season ranking was not even as good as the Clippers, and in 1993 the Lakers had fallen to the point where they could not make the playoffs, which made the Los Angeles fans who witnessed the Lakers and Celtics dominate the 80s very dissatisfied, and they were eager to see the team rise again.

This year, the Lakers ushered in a turnaround, and Magic Johnson announced the news that he might come back in the summer, which immediately stirred up a thousand waves!

Everyone knows what kind of disease the magician has, so this news is like a nuclear bomb that has detonated the world sports circle.

Before that, there had never been any example of being cured of such a disease, at least not the people who were recognized as having been cured of AIDS, and those who said they were cured were not counted, and this was the case with the magician, who said he was cured, but the demons believed him.

Zhang Mao didn't believe it, he had heard of the miraculous cure of terminal cancer, but he had never heard that AIDS could be cured, everyone knew that magicians rely on his billions of net worth to save their lives, but this is already the limit of what modern medical treatment can do.

Recently, as soon as the news of the Magic's comeback came out, many of the big names in the league who had previously welcomed Michael's return expressed their "disapproval" this time, and even many stars said that "they will not play in the game against the Lakers".

The comeback of the two can be described as a world of difference in public opinion, and this contrast also makes the magic very embarrassed, he thought that everyone would think his comeback is very inspirational, but no one supported him at all, except for the Lakers fans and his own fans who welcomed it, the whole league was against it!

Don't be afraid to be honest, it's one thing to be good on the court as good as an NBA player, but off the court, even if you are as great as a magician, you are no different from the average person.

To put it mildly, suffering from this disease is not a glorious thing!

Even in the United States, if you retire, everyone can express sympathy, just like the dead in China are great, everyone will pick up some nice words to say, and will not say bad things about you.

But if you want to come back and play again, then I'm sorry, it's not the same thing.

Now the magician is just plugging in to get a look, but someone has already organized a vote against his comeback.

Although many experts in the medical field say that "even if you play with an AIDS patient, the chance of infection is very small".

But the problem is that no one dares to try it, it's just a joke, even if the chance of infection is small, it doesn't mean that you won't be infected, what if you win the lottery?

These experts also said before that it is difficult for women to transmit HIV to men in Xing behavior between men and women, but didn't the magician also fall for it?

Well, unless, as rumored in the market, the magician is bisexual, and it is very likely that he will be tricked!

Lakers coach Harris knows very little about Zhang Mao, the Lakers are not short of outside lines, and Cedric Ceballos, who is at his peak, played the best season of his career last season, averaging 21 points + 8 rebounds per game is already an All-Star performance; Eddie Jones averaged 14+3+2 per game in his rookie season last year, and could go one step further this year.

These two will be the Lakers' default starting outside combination this season, so they have little interest in Zhang, not to mention that the Lakers know more about the news of Magic's comeback.

The Lakers have determined internally that the Magic has a good chance of returning next season, and the returning Magic will not play point guard anymore, because they have the All-Star level "madman" Van Exel, and the Magic is now too heavy, so the Magic will change to play power forward after his return, or even a cameo as a small forward.

If Zhang Zhu is drafted by the Lakers, it will be difficult for him to get a chance to play, and the Lakers are not short of outside stars now, what they really lack is an interior star.

There are a lot of interior players who came to try out today, although the Lakers look down on them even more, because what they need is strong immediacy, this year's Lakers only want to pick a few reliable role players, and the real big move will not take place until next year.

The scouting report in Harris's hand described Zhang Qi as follows:

Body: If you only look at the body, he has the potential of the lotto zone, with a height of 200.5cm barefoot, a height of 203cm with shoes, a height of 275cm standing and touching, a height of 218cm with both arms, a weight of 210 pounds, and a body fat content of 5.8% (subcutaneous fat), which is a coveted body, but we don't know if he can use this body to play the same performance in the United States as he did in Australia, and his athleticism is still lacking in real high-intensity competitions to verify for the time being.

Strengths: As he himself said, he is tall and long-armed, flexible, has a good feel in the game, is very intelligent, makes good decisions when attacking, is outstanding in ball control at the same position and height, has a soft touch in the box, has a standard shooting posture, can complete the fatal shot, has excellent finishing ability in the box, has a good throw, and has the ability to develop the NBA's three-point range.

Summary: When these advantages are combined, we can see that he runs like a Ferrari with a lot of power, but his body is like a Hummer, he seems to fly when he goes to the basket, and his fundamentals are very good. When he stepped on the pitch, he was an energetic player who was always involved in every defense... With textbook shooting moves, he's a good pitcher... He's aggressive on the court and is an impressively explosive player... He can also grab rebounds and quickly lead the offense... In addition, he is very efficient in the half-court singles, especially good at dribbling and shooting, can also shoot dry, can also use one or two dribbles to attack the basket directly, and has the ability to create shots for himself. Defensively, he also seems energetic, can instantly rush from outside the three-point line to the basket for blocking, has strong defensive ability, and can catch a lot of rebounds and contribute a lot of steals.

Disadvantages: All of the above performances that amazed us were Lyon's demeanor in Australia's high school league, so there are plenty of reasons to wonder if he will perform like this in the NCAA. As for the NBA? I'm sure he doesn't have that yet. I think he can still play at star level in the NCAA, but if he wants to play in the NBA right away, looking at his God-favored face and body, we can consider betting on a second-round pick, at least he can make a lot of female fans crazy next to the water cooler, right?

Harris couldn't laugh or cry, but this scouting report is very well written, and you can consider adding a chicken leg to this guy.
