Chapter 15: Boy, Do You Dare to Fight Me?
It was not Zhang Mao's turn to test in the morning, and he was notified at 1 o'clock in the afternoon that he could go to the field for the "bottom line switchback run" and "3/4 sprint" test. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's finally my turn to play, and I'll show you how good I am today!" Zhang Fu has been looking forward to this moment for a long time, he likes this feeling of being noticed, he likes the big scene!
Many team general managers and coaches have turned their eyes, basically rookies with first-round strength, this will be all tested, Zhang Yu is an unknown existence in the second-round show, some people think he is a showman, but some people think he may be a dark horse.
"Of course Lao Tzu is a dark horse!" Zhang Zhu gave his best this time, he had seen several people in the morning who were not slower than him, and even a few bastards who were faster than him, although these guys who were faster than him were shorter than him, but it could also be seen that the American players were much stronger than the Australian weak chickens he had met before.
"10.96 seconds!?" A minute later, the fourth rookie to run 11 seconds was born today, and it was the 205cm Australian talent who created the second best time in today's "baseline switchback run".
Zhang Qi is in good shape today, and with all his strength, his "bottom line switchback run" actually ran an astonishing 10.96 seconds, which surprised the four California teams who knew his bottom line, this little guy actually ran into 11 seconds?
It's not that no one has run out of the 11-second score, someone did it in the morning, the problem is that the other three rookies who can get this result are all guards, and he can be so flexible as a small forward with a height of 205cm, which means that he can use the death winding follow defense, as well as the off-ball movement like Ling Bo's microstep, this guard-like agility can make him like a flea on the court to pull the defense line or tear the formation.
"Wait a minute, this kid shouldn't be in our tryout, right?" The top management of the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Warriors all secretly thought in their hearts, and then looked at each other with great distrust, and the eyes that looked at each other were very unpleasant.
As soon as Zhang Zhu's "bottom line switchback run" data came out, the possibility of showmanship was not much, especially in the next pure explosiveness + speed test, Zhang Zhu ran a 3/4 sprint time of 3.21 seconds, and now he finally attracted the attention of the audience and became the focus of attention of all teams.
To be honest, there have been a few guards who have run within 3 seconds today, and even in the No. 3 position, there are a few rookies who have run similar results to Zhang Zhu, but if you take into account Zhang Zhu's age and height, then the gold content of his results is obviously the highest among all rookies.
A simple comparison, a 20-year-old, 2-meter-tall, 200-pound striker; An 18-year-old striker with a height of 205cm and a weight of 210 pounds. If these two run with the same speed and agility, it means that the former will be crushed by the latter when they are in line on the basketball court, and they will have much less potential.
"This kid is so fast?" Many managers and coaches are starting to be uneasy, Zhang Qiu's figure combined with such speed and agility, he knows how much of a threat he will be with his ass, not to mention that he is so young, and he will have to do it in another year or two?
"Weigh 210 pounds? This data is also a bit powerful. "Some coaches pay special attention to Zhang's weight, because generally speaking, rookie players tend to be thin, and even freshmen and sophomores are mostly slim. For example, Garnett, a high school student, is like a bamboo pole, and it is very doubtful that he will be hit and killed by an inside monster like O'Neal on the court!
So Zhang Zhu, an 18-year-old high school rookie, actually weighs 210 pounds, and can still run so fast, this combination is really a bit scary.
"This kid doesn't seem to have any flaws in his body, but what about his technique? By the way, did he play the number three position, or the number four position? Bastard, how could we not have his scouting report? "A lot of teams just then realize that they don't even know the Australian talent, not even if he plays small forward or big forward.
Zhang Yi was very satisfied with his performance, he took out the strength to eat milk today, ignoring the heated discussions of the managers and coaches on the sidelines, and then did not relax in the bounce link, the "vertical bounce height" score is 83cm, and the "running bounce height" reached 90cm, although these two data are not very perverted, but they are still in the first echelon of rookies.
"Who the hell is this guy?" Stackhouse couldn't help but ask the little flying squirrel next to him, Stoudemire, who also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know this guy.
"Dude, I think he's better than you!" Rashid Wallace made a joke on Brent Barry, a bit of a discordant.
"Is he a white man? But if you look closely, it looks a bit like a yellow race? "Brent Barry thought he was the most athletic white player of all the rookies this year, but he didn't expect such a guy to come out halfway, and he felt that his draft market would definitely go down, and this guy would definitely have an impact on himself.
"This guy is a bit of a half-breed, I know an Asian half-breed, he also has such facial features, but this guy looks really handsome." Michael Finlay also said on the side.
"I know, he's an Australian rookie, and it's said that he was an Australian first-year talent." Garnett explained to everyone on the side that Zhang Qiu talked to him just now, but he didn't respond, and he felt a little rude afterwards, so he went to ask his agent, and then he knew who Zhang Qi was.
Garnett's agent Andy Miller also had thoughts about Zhang Fu, he inquired, it turned out that Zhang Qiu did not have a real agent now, it was his father who temporarily replaced his agent, and now after seeing the talent of this Australian genius, he felt that he had found a piece of gold.
Of course, not only did he have an agent eyeing Zhang Mo at the scene, but many agents who were more famous than him had already begun to contact Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo was also happy to communicate with these professional agents, and he originally wanted to help Zhang Mo find a reliable agent.
At the same time, many teams also had a strong interest in Zhang Fu, and asked for interviews and trials for Zhang Fu, which made Zhang Mo dizzy for a while, and he wanted to find a professional agent for his son even more.
There was a lot of heated discussion on the sidelines, but Zhang Qi has not finished the test yet.
In the final strength test, this time he completed 15 bench presses of 84 kg in one go, and then left the test equipment without changing his face.
When everyone on the sidelines saw his stinky fart, they knew that this kid still had some strength left.
"Don't push it!" Zhang then waved his hand and decisively rejected the maximum bench press test, looking like he wanted to save his strength for the next heads-up match, but this piqued the interest of the sideline team even more.
Of course, he made this gesture on purpose, and he just wanted to attract more attention from these people, and he was too clever for him.
Soon after Zhang Fu finished the physical test, all the physical test links today were over, and the system "ding" sounded, Zhang Wei knew that there was a result, and hurriedly clicked on the task system.
Final physical test ranking: 3rd.
Result: Failed!
"The third? It's actually the third! When Zhang Qian saw this result, it was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water from the head, he was full of confidence, and felt that his physical test must have been the first to run, but now he saw the prompt of the failure of the mission, and his heart almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"Wait, is there a mistake in the system? When have I ever lost a physical session? There must be something wrong with the system! Zhang Wei said that he couldn't accept this result, "This is absolutely impossible, how can I only be ranked third, so who are the top two?" Immortals? Zhang Qi questioned the rabbit butler directly.
"You calm down, the system can't go wrong, it's good if you can get third today." The rabbit butler explained in a rare way, "The Garnett who you look down on, his physical data is the first in the overall test, Michael Finley is in the second, and the system gives you the third place, I am already surprised, I thought that Starhouse and McDyce would be ranked third and fourth." ”
When Zhang Qi heard this, he was unconvinced for a while, but then reacted and asked in his heart: "You seem to have become more humane?" ”
A rabbit face of the rabbit butler showed a disdainful expression to Zhang Qiu, and replied: "I am an intelligent AI, of course, I will become more and more intelligent over time, you are a little strange." ”
"Hell, you're still going to despise me?" Zhang Wei feels more and more fresh, his father is a top programming ape, he naturally knows what intelligent AI is, but can that thing be so intelligent?
"You can think of me as the technology of the future." "Actually, I don't know who created me, but it's certainly not something that the technology of this era can do. ”
Zhang Yu nodded, but when he turned his head and thought that he was only ranked third in the physical test, he still couldn't accept it.
"Actually, you don't have to be discouraged, you're 11 months younger than the youngest rookie here, and it's already good to be able to achieve such results now, if your talent is not top-notch, how can the system choose you as a host." Rabbit Key comforted him instead.
Zhang Yu quickly calmed down when he heard this, he felt that what the rabbit said was right, this excuse was very reasonable, he was only in third place, and this was completely because he was too young.
"That's right, that's it!" Zhang Qi also began to hypnotize herself, "I said, although that Garnett is also a high school student, he is 11 months older than me, almost a year older, so I just lost to time, which is not a shame." ”
"One of you is 1 year older than me, the other is 4 years older than me, what's so surprising about me if I win, I only need half a year to surpass you physically." Zhang Yu made a good excuse for himself, and when he came to the sidelines, he found that his father was still surrounded by a group of people, but no one came to look for him, the perpetrator, and he must have regarded him as a little kid who didn't understand anything.
After the physical test, the 1v1 heads-up match will start at 3 pm, Zhang Mao only participated in the 1v1 heads-up and refused the 2v2 game because he didn't know these American players and couldn't find a partner to form a team.
If he insists on temporarily partnering with someone he doesn't know, he feels that he will be held back, so he is exempted.
The heads-up matches in the trial camp are generally selected by the senior management of each team under mutual communication.
Of course, it's not uncommon for rookies to challenge other players themselves, and many lesser-known rookies often challenge those who are well-known in order to make a splash. However, all players are free to refuse this challenge or even not to participate in the competition.
However, if it is a challenge from players of the same position with similar reputation, they usually will not refuse at this time, otherwise it will be considered as fearful of the other party, which is likely to lead to a decline in the draft market.
In this era, there were not as many tricks as the joint tryouts, and most of the outside players would participate in heads-up games, and the top management of each team could get together to discuss which two rookies would compete with each other, so as to see the strength of the rookies more clearly.
It's a different story a decade later, when agents, rookies and teams are becoming more and more cunning, and people are reluctant to share scouting reports and provide real feedback and evaluations of players. At the same time, teams seem to be lying to their players, and they take the step of telling every player and their agent that the team likes him, which creates unrealistic illusions about the results of the draft and their own strength.
Agents and rookies are just as cunning, and agents will arrange some very easy training content for players to better show the strengths of their players, while hiding their weaknesses, so that the team's management cannot get useful information, which also causes parallel goods to emerge in later generations, and the information age is not as transparent as the big brother era.
"I think Stackhouse can test his depths." Lakers head coach Harris made a very sinister suggestion when discussing with other teams.
"Second, we need to see the true level of that Australian genius, and we can't be fooled by his physical talent." The Clippers coach also raised his hand in favor.
"Chinese like to falsely report his age, do you think he is really only 18 years old?" The Warriors coach also said like a rock.
"Why don't you ask Stoudemire to go and have a few tricks with him." The King's proposal was insidious enough, and they actually called a point guard less than 180cm to single-handedly take on Zhang Mao, a small forward in his early two meters.
"It's not good to do this, do you have to give him such a high difficulty as soon as you come up?" Knicks head coach Don Nelson felt that it was inappropriate, Stackhouse and Flying Squirrel were the most powerful guards this year, and Zhang was not their opponent, and he felt that it would be more appropriate for Brent Barry to go and Zhang Zhu one-on-one.
"I don't agree, Barry is too weak, it would be better to let Ed O'Banon try his strength." Nets coach Butch Baird has a soft spot for Ed O'Barnon, and everyone knows he's ready to pick a guy who has no interest in other teams at all.
The head coaches of several other teams even slandered in their hearts that Ed O'Banon was a parallel product, and who knows why this guy would be so interested in him? Could it be that it is an illegitimate child? If you really choose that guy, it is better to choose Zhang Zhu, the physical talent of that kid alone is worth the gamble, not to mention the Asian market that the general managers care more about.
These teams are intriguing and not realizing that the players on the field have found their targets......
"Hey, kid from Australia, do you have the courage to fight me?" Stackhouse is a very confident player, and as Jordan's junior, he even thinks he can beat Jordan, so this half-breed is not taken seriously by him at all. At this moment, he took the initiative to challenge Zhang Mao, more to teach this guy a lesson, beating children is his favorite thing to do.
Zhang Wei was stunned, his plan was not to challenge Starkerhouse as soon as he came up.
He also knew that this Stutterhouse was the strongest outside player in this rookie, so he was still a little apprehensive when he saw the other party and found him first.
If he knew that this guy was later defeated by Kobe, Iverson, Carter and Maddie in heads-up one after another, maybe he wouldn't be so nervous, because this guy has a hidden attribute of "bullying rookies 100% and being slapped in the face".
