Chapter Ninety-Three—Battle Beasley
"You're surprised, too?" Pat. Riley said with a smile. To be honest, today's tryout didn't actually make a lot of sense, because the Heat already had their own candidate in mind.
"I really didn't expect that based on the data shown on this physical test report, Lee's potential should be far beyond what we thought before." Wade smacked his lips.
"Now that you've said that, I need your help with something next." Pat. Riley's expression, which had been a happy expression, suddenly became solemn.
"Okay, I know, I'll tell him, but I can't say for sure." Wade shrugged and said he didn't use Pat. Riley understood what he meant when he said it clearly, after all, the surprise that Li Yao brought to them today was indeed a bit unexpected, and in order to avoid some things from happening, they needed to make some preparations.
"Let's go, let's go to the training ground to see how they perform, after all, in addition to the list of signs, we also have a second-round pick, and we also have to choose a suitable second-round pick to strengthen the team." Pat. Riley stood up, straightened his crisp suit, and beckoned Wade to go to the training ground with him.
When Pat. Riley and Wade walked out of the general manager's office together, and the moment the door closed, a gust of wind blew the physical test report on Li Yao on the table to the ground.
Name: Li YaoNationality: ChineseBarefootHeight: 1.85 metersHeight with shoes: 1.88 metersReach: 2.01 metersHeight in place: 2.67 metersMaximum vertical jump: 1.107 meters (43.58 inches)
84 kg bench press 10 times.
The baseline runs 10.57 seconds round trip.
3/4 sprint 2.89 seconds.
The body fat rate is 4.76%, which is Li Yao's body test report today.
When Wade and Pat. When Riley came to the training ground, Li Yao's group game had not yet begun, and at this time, the two sides fighting on the court attracted the attention of Wade, who had just arrived at the scene.
Originally, Super Mario, who was the MOP of the 08 NCAA Championship in his previous life, was not only robbed of MOP by Li Yao, a little butterfly, but also lost the championship of the University of Kansas because of the rotation of the giant wheel of history, and even failed to enter the finals, so Super Mario, who was not favored in the first place, is now in an embarrassing situation, he came to the trial and was not invited like Li Yao, but was applied for him by his agent, this is the gap, which makes Super Mario feel very uncomfortable, Thinking that he was once a star player in the NCAA, but now that he has fallen to this, he vows to enter the NBA no matter what, and give those who laugh at him a counterattack.
As the red side, Super Mario knows his weaknesses and his personal characteristics are not outstanding, which will lead to his mock draft pick has been sluggish, so he is very smart to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and has been mobilizing the red side as an organizational attacker, which made the two special spectators in the stands couldn't help but nod, after all, they came to see if they could pick a second-round show, so they were more inclined to a qualified substitute, and Super Mario's performance made them satisfied.
And the white side also has its own characteristics, Goran Dragic was assigned to the white side, after this match was announced, the expression on Li Yao's face was not to mention how interesting.
The matchup between two excellent point guards before and after the Heat's Big Three era, Li Yao couldn't wait to buy some popcorn and sit on the sidelines and look seriously.
And Goran Dragic's performance made Li Yao on the field frown, which is too big a gap with Goran Dragic many years later, it seems that the current Goran Dragic is too immature, far from being as strong as he was later.
But Goran Dragic also has his own characteristics, good at blocking and fast breaking, he commands his teammates on the field who are temporarily combined, uses his usual joint defense in the European arena, relies on team cooperation to play defensive counterattacks, and Goran Dragic, who breaks through decisively and is not afraid of confrontation in positional battles, relies on early fouls after breakthroughs to stabilize the situation for his side.
But compared to Super Mario's cleverness, Goran Dragic is much more immature, he still attacks in the way he plays in Europe, and Goran Dragic who wants to show himself often falls into a solo fight, although on the defensive end with his height and arm span, the advantage of quick reaction to defend Super Mario alone shows good strength, but it is to make Pat. Riley shook his head with some regret.
Li Yao didn't know that Pat had already appeared in the stands. Riley and the two figures, but keep regretting that they couldn't see the wonderful duel between the two point guards in the post-era of the Heat, if Li Yao chooses by himself, he may also choose Super Mario, after all, today's Goran Dragic is too young, and his current style does not match the overall style of today's NBA league.
The half-hour or so confrontation was finally over, and the winning side was, as expected by Li Yao, the red side led by Super Mario. Although Goran Dragic fought the white side, he could not connect the whole team well, resulting in the white side playing a little messy in the late game, and finally lost to the red side led by Super Mario.
As they walked off the field, the staff announced again who would play the next matchup.
This time, Li Yao's team was selected, but when the opponent was announced, Li Yao couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth. Bisley, this kind of duel between fates made Li Yao's heart bloom. He knew that the Heat chose Michael. Beasley will be more likely, and his odds are small, so in that case, he should give the Heat a wake-up call and tell them who is the better option for them.
Li Yao himself was on the white side, while Beasley was on the red side, and the red and white war was about to break out.
Of course, there is no such thing as jumping the ball in this kind of game, and the ball is taken by Li Yao's side to kick off first.
Before going on the court, Li Yao gathered his teammates on his side, although everyone is a rookie this year, but the weight of Li Yao's MOP is still very significant, and his teammates are willing to listen to Li Yao's opinion.
After conveying their ideas, their teammates also expressed their support, in fact, they knew very well that they were both Li Yao and Michael. Beasley's supporting role, but Li Yao can take into account the feelings between them, which makes them very content, and of course they will respect Li Yao's decision.
The ball is in the hands of Li Yao, and Li Yao, who is attacking with the ball, takes the lead in giving a smile when facing the opponent's point guard, and the opponent also knows his own situation, obviously unable to prevent Li Yao, so there is no need to stumble, and he also gave Li Yao a smile.
"Friend, I'm going to break through." Li Yao reminded the other party.
"Oh." The opposing point guard instinctively tensed up and put on a cautious defensive posture.
Li Yao's easy step just relied on speed to leave the opponent's point guard behind, and this kind of temporary team obviously has a big defect in this regard, to Li Yao's breakthrough like no man's land, there is no player who can make up for the defense in time, this is really beyond Li Yao's expectations, but this is also to give Li Yao a good opportunity to show himself, looking at Michael, who wants to make up for himself but is a little hesitant. Beasley, Li Yao rose directly from the ground, and a powerful slash ended the attack.
When retreating, Li Yao put up a gesture to his teammates, and the teammates who got the signal immediately took place, and the whole court pressed the defense again, as soon as this scene came out, the point guard on the red side couldn't wait to step forward and pull Li Yao aside to beat him, if he didn't play like this, why did he become a victim of the duel between these two guys.
"Poof, Lee, this guy is so insidious? A good trial made him a serious game. Wade, who was on the sidelines, couldn't have imagined that people would try to show themselves as much as possible, but when he came to Li Yao, he actually played the whole court tight defense, which was really unexpected.
"But I'm getting more and more fond of him." Pat. Riley gave a very high evaluation of Li Yao's performance, although it was only a trial match, but from the aspect of the tandem team alone, Li Yao's ability to show was far from Michael. Beasley can compare.
And Michael. Beasley decisively asked his point guard for the ball after seeing that Li Yao actually used a shameful full-court tight defense again, and the point guard immediately threw the basketball in his hand when he saw Beasley asking for the ball, as if he was throwing a hot potato.
Michael. Beasley thought that his teammates would think about it, after all, everyone was here for a trial, but who would have thought that his teammates would throw the ball directly to him, without even a trace of hesitation.
This was completely out of the way Michael. Beasley's expectation, but Michael received the ball. Beasley did not hesitate, relying on his strong body, he forcibly broke through the big forward on Li Yao's side, which was directly a violent dunk.
Michael after the storm buckle landed. Beasley also howled angrily at Li Yao, his eyes full of disdain.
Li Yao faces Michael. Beasley's provocation was unconcerned in his eyes Michael. Beasley's howl was like that of a baboon in heat.
Once again, it was Li Yao's turn to attack, Li Yao still made a simple and direct breakthrough, which instantly tore apart the defense of the red side. Beasley didn't hesitate any longer, and rushed straight over.
And Li Yao faced Michael. Beasley, the corners of his mouth raised a hint of arc, and the lightning step was used instantly, in Michael. Beasley's surprised eyes stuck in front of his defensive footsteps and picked the basketball into the basket.
"When did Lee learn this?" It's not just Michael on the field who was surprised. Beasley, even Wade in the stands was surprised, you must know that it has not been long since they last played each other at Miami Field Stadium, and he clearly remembers that Li Yao at that time only knew his own lightning step, but now he has been able to use the lightning step completely, and looking at Li Yao's proficiency is not as if he has just learned.
"This is the surprise I originally told you, but who would have thought that Li Yao brought us an even bigger surprise today." Pat. Riley shrugged and said he knew about it back in training camp.
"This kid secretly learned my mastery and hid it from me, see how I fix him at night." Wade said with an unhappy face.
