The Timberwolves lived up to their bottom-to-bottom record of the season by winning the No. 1 pick. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

How to pick and which player to pick, every move of the Timberwolves management has touched the hearts of Timberwolves fans, and in the city of Minnesota, many fans even wrote to the team's head coach Philip Saunders to give him advice.

The Lakers unexpectedly won the pick, which made the Los Angeles people ecstatic and diluted some of the sadness of Kobe's imminent departure.

The most confident 76ers, who were only given a pick, were originally interested in either Towns or Okafor, and now it seems that they need to reconsider the use of that pick.

Less than ten minutes after the draw ceremony, Li Dong received a call from Joe Thomas.

"Lee, I think we need to hurry up and get ready. I think you've seen it in the draft just now, I've also received invitations to the top three picks in the training camp before, I don't think we need to go to all of them, tomorrow I'll send you the strengths and weaknesses of the teams in the lottery area to your mailbox, and after you read it, you will list the three teams you want to go to the most, and then we will arrange a trial according to the itinerary. ”

Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Will it be too anxious, the other rookies haven't said to participate in the trial, and when the time comes, I will run over, and I will participate in the trial alone." ”

"Rest assured, these trials are individual trials, not joint trials." Joe Thomas explained: "We don't have to go to flashy joint training camps as hot rookies, we just need to go to other people's stadiums, do some physical fitness measurements, some basic skills tests. “

"Okay, I see." Li Dong shrugged and replied.

……

Two days later, Li Dong and Joe Thomas appeared at the Orlando Magic's Amway Arena.

In the stadium training hall, the Magic's team coach Scott Skidles, the Magic's current general manager Rob Hannigan, the Magic's chief scout Edla, and the Magic staff were all standing on the side, of course, there were no media reporters around.

"Nice to meet you, Chinese Lee." These officials of the magic didn't have any arrogance, and they shook hands with Li Dong one by one, and everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while before waiting for the staff to arrange the side test.

"By the way, Lee, how tall are you?" Hannigan gestured his hand at Li Dong's height and looked up and asked.

Li Dong hesitated for a moment, saw that everyone looked curious, and smiled helplessly: "I don't know, it seems to have been growing, it should be more than 1.95 meters, and I haven't measured it recently." “

"Yes!" Scott Skiles' eyes lit up, then smiled thoughtfully.

It didn't take long for the testing equipment to be ready, and Li Dong started the first test under the arrangement of the staff, which is the most basic physical fitness test.

Li Dong stood barefoot on the measuring instrument and let the staff hold the instrument to measure accurately. The tests at this time are the most realistic tests, and there is no false information about the later reports to the league, which is why many team training camps are willing to offer this kind of individual tryouts for some of the best players.

Immediately afterwards, Li Dong opened his arms again and began to measure his arm span.

His two long arms were usually not visible, but after opening them like this, they were terrifying, and Skiles and Hannigan in the distance glanced at each other, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

Then there is the bounce force training, the magic uses light scanning measurement, Li Dong only needs to fight to the sky in front of the instrument to measure the maximum bounce value. Not only that, but the gauge is the most advanced bounce gauge in the NBA to date, and it can also measure how fast a player is bouncing on the spot, which is a key factor in the NBA's rebounding.

"Bang!"

Li Dong stepped on small steps to complete the last bounce, which was his fifteenth bounce in a minute, an average of four seconds, and measured the continuous bounce force of the player.

The staff continued to lead Li Dong to complete the strength test, and the NBA's strength test is mostly a bench press test.

At this time, the on-site staff had already printed out some of the lateral body data completed by Li Dong before and handed them over to several leaders standing on the side.

"1.97 meters!" Skiles and the others couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

"The reach is 2.13 meters!" Chief scout Edward had a look of disbelief and a little shame. Immediately afterwards, he faced the eyes of the two bigwigs of the team asking for an explanation, so he had to touch his nose and push it to the part-time scout Brandon Beal in one breath: "I don't understand, Bill said that Li Dong is only 1.93 meters, I didn't expect him to be so irresponsible, I will go back later and immediately criticize him seriously!" ”

"I seem to be a little lighter." Skiles didn't go into much detail with him and gave his opinion.

Hannigan gave him a blank look and said, "Laugh, there are a few players who have just entered the league who can reach the weight standard, and it is normal to be thin!" ”

Joe Thomas watched the Lakers' three guys get together and talk sneakily, with a confident smile on his face.

Once upon a time, Li Dong couldn't even receive an American college invitation, but now, he is the hottest college player in the United States, who can understand the hard work? Only him, he saw everything in his eyes, he knew what kind of dreams this child had in his heart, he knew how strong he really was.

Immediately after, the screams of the staff chanting God rang out in the stadium!

"What happened?" Hannigan and the others ran over one after another, and everyone immediately gathered around the strength tester, and suddenly gasped in unison!

I saw Li Dong, who was still being talked about by them about "thinness" just now, lying on his back on the bench, with his legs bent on his knees, his feet on the ground, holding the barbell with both hands, and pushing back and forth at a rapid pace.

The air seemed to stand still, except for the heavy breathing of the boy's chest heaving.

Edra rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes, he looked at Li Dong all over, making sure that what he was seeing was not James.

"Multi-...... How much bench press? Li Dong put down the barbell and asked with a pant.

The staff was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed an embarrassed look on his face, looking at the unkind eyes of the big guys around him, and almost cried: "I don't know, hey, I suddenly forgot to count just now." “

"Well, it should be exactly twenty-five, if I count correctly." Li Dong got out from under the bench press and said with a smile.

Then he was startled by the group of people around him, how could so many people suddenly appear? Li Donger couldn't figure it out, standing there, and didn't know what to do.

"120 kg bench press 25 times in a row! And it doesn't look like the limit! Skiles' gaze became extremely hot, and he looked at Li Dong with a streamlined figure in front of him, as if he was looking at a rare treasure. Jordan when he was young, Maddie when he was Raptors, almost all of them had at least this level of strength, supplemented by terrifying bounces, arm span and reflexes, if this kid has the strength of a monster in a guard, the ceiling is simply immeasurable.

Li Dong moved his steps slightly, he felt that the eyes of the people here were a little weird, which made him panic.

……

Finally, there was a basic shooting test, and after Li Dong rested for half an hour, he began his best "performance"!

He has spent countless lonely nights shooting to the basket alone, and this mid-range jumper from inside the three-point line is as simple as eating and drinking water for him, and it is more accurate than a free throw.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The basketball kept passing through the net, most of which were hollow into the frame, and after more than a minute, everyone heard the sound of Li Dong striking iron for the first time, and then it was a series of hollow frames of "brushing, brushing, brushing".

But this time, everyone is okay, after all, there are many excellent shooters in the Magic team, like Fournier throwing three points in training, it is also a series of goals, I feel that there will be shots, and I can't stop at all.

In the end, Li Dong hit 96 of his 100 mid-range jumpers, which was higher than his free throw percentage in his college season.

Edra has already changed Li Dong's player report to the ground, he added another sentence after Li Dong's height and long arms, amazing bounce, and terrifying strength, and his shooting is very accurate. After writing this sentence, he suddenly found that Li Dong already had the basic qualities of some of the NBA's top scorers, and the difference was probably the game experience.

"I don't know how this kid is in control of the ball." Edra thought.

Joe Thomas was very satisfied with Li Dong's trial, he watched the reaction of the Lakers up and down, and knew that he finally didn't come in vain this time, if according to Li Dong's performance in college, he would be the fifth pick, but now look at the looks of Hannigan and others.

Hehe, Downs, Okafor, who said that the champion must be locked by these two people? (To be continued.) )
