Chapter 12 Team Registration (Part II)

When Osborne came to the players' gathering place, he saw that there were a lot of people there, and the atmosphere was very hilarious, but Osborne only knew one, that was Daco Milicic, and then Osborne said hello to Milicic, and Milicic also replied a little shyly, seeing that this list show is so shy, he may go the old way, and was hidden by the stubborn Larry Brown, Osborne decided to help this shy kid and help him establish domineering, in the team of strongmen like a forest of Pistons, Too much kindness is tantamount to cowardice, so Osborne first established himself and raised the opinion of others.

Just as everyone was bragging, a slightly chubby black man and a spirited white man came in, and the lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down. Then the black man said, "I'm Joe Dumas, the president of the Pistons, and this is your head coach Larry Brown, welcome to the Pistons, and now your head coach will give you a lecture." Then he turned to Larry Brown and said, "I'll leave it to you and I won't bother you." After nodding his head, Larry Brown took over the voice of Joe Dumars and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Larry Brown, your head coach, and I'm going to lead you to victory, to revival, to win championships." Now I'll talk about my employment rules first, I will use whoever is in good shape, there is no boss here, there is no ball bully, what I want is team basketball and iron-blooded defense, and no one is a non-trading product, if someone destroys teamwork, disregards the interests of the team, and engages in personal heroism, I will clean him out. You just have to remember to win the right way, whatever it is, as long as you can win is king. Well, that's all, the new players go to test their bodies first, and the old players go to training, don't waste any more time. As soon as Larry Brown finished speaking, Osborne sighed in his heart: It is worthy of being a famous NBA basketball head coach with an aura, which is very suitable for team basketball, not for superstar basketball, like Iverson in 2001 is an unruly superstar, and the 76 team's 4:1 defeat to the Lakers is also related to Larry Brown, and he can't tame Iverson, a wild horse.

After Larry Brown finished speaking, he stopped caring about the others, led the Pistons veterans to practice, and asked his assistant coach Johnson to take this year's rookies to various physical tests. Osborne and Daco Milicic also have a second-round rookie, Andreas Greeniadakis, and Osborne learned that the name of this second-round rookie is so long, and he complained in his heart: According to NBA conventions and traditions, there are few superstars with long names, and their careers are not too long, and they don't have much time to play. For example, Maddie, a teammate of Yao Da who is well known to Chinese fans, was originally named Tracy McGrady, and his name is a bit long, and his agent suggested that he change the name to be shorter, and there is Maddie, who is well known to Chinese fans. Far from it, a long name has nothing to do with becoming a superstar.

Osborne followed assistant coach Johnson, walked to the test area and was then tested by the Pistons' professional trainers to test various physical data, after a period of physical testing, Osborne's physical test data came out, there is nothing particularly outstanding, the data is: barefoot height: 199cm, shoeed height: 201cm, weight: 100kg, arm span: 210cm, in-situ touch height: 55cm, vertical bounce: 70cm, maximum bounce: 83cm. Osborne's running flexibility test around the pole is his only highlight, only 11 seconds, 3/4 of the court sprint run time, the bench press success rate is a bit low, Osborne's dribbling level is very good, it is simply the dribble of a point guard with the height of a big forward, the layup success rate is 100%, and the fast break with the ball is faster than a simple full-court run. And the physical test data of other people are all off the charts, especially the physical test data of the top star Dako Milicic is simply amazing, no wonder he can surpass Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, these gods, and the flexibility is also very good, the basket is solid, can score the basket in one-on-one basketball, is a good inside player, but the confrontation is too poor, it is easy to be resisted. After the physical test, he was taken to the basketball training hall by the assistant coach to meet Larry Brown.

After seeing Larry Brown, the assistant coach handed over the rookie's physical test data to Larry Brown, Larry Brown also looked at the test results, and saw Daco Milicic's physical test data, there was no expression on his face, in fact, he was already excited, and when he saw Osborn's physical test data, Larry Brown frowned a little, thinking that Joe Dumas valued this rookie very much, but Osborn's physical test data showed that he did not have the physical basis to become a superstar at all, and then thought that Osborne was not yet 18 years old, and there was still room for a long bodyMaybe Osborne has some outstanding basketball skills, so he won't be entangled in the physical test data, but when he saw Andreas Greeniadakis' physical test data, he immediately said to the assistant coach: "Let's send this rookie to the development league for a while." "The assistant coach wondered why the head coach had just read the physical test data and put the rookie with a long name in the development league, and he took a closer look at the rookie's physical test data, and it turned out that the rookie's physical test data was also very good, but the agility was too poor, the bench press success rate was almost none, the layup success rate was almost non-existent, and the dribbling was even worse. This guy deftly dodges all of the Pistons' tactical play, almost out of step with the Pistons' style.

After Larry Brown looked at the rookie's physical test data, he wanted to see if the level of this year's rookie was worth cultivating. He announced: "All the players are coming and coming, we're going to have an internal training match, I'm sure you'll be interested. The old players of the Pistons are also very interested in this year's rookies, and they all want to take this opportunity to abuse these so-called draft rookies, you must know that these old players have listened to the braggings of the major news media without a lower limit, and they have heard enough, and they all quickly gathered, and then Larry Brown saw the enthusiastic old players and said: "Now you come to the team yourself, you can adjust it freely, the time is 40 minutes, divided into two quarters, you have to play well, play style, play friendship." I'll be the referee for you, so let's start the team. ”

As soon as Larry Brown finished speaking, the old players quickly formed a team, but as rookies, Osborne and Daco Milicic were a little embarrassed, I don't know if it was intentional or deliberate, no one in basketball wants to be on a team with the rookie, it seems that he wants to give the rookie a dismount, Larry Brown saw this situation and said: "How do you guys play like this, Chauncey, Richard, Big Ben, Tayxiaan, you four don't play, the others will divide the team again, if the team is not good again, cancel today's internal game, and all go to training." "Larry Brown took all the Pistons starters down and let the second-team players play inside the game, which is obviously to test the strength of the rookie players, and then the other players no longer hesitate, or they will have to do boring basketball training, so this time the team is quickly divided, the red team is against the white team, the red team is composed of veteran players, power forward: Campbell, center: Memetoku, small forward: Derrick Coleman, point guard: Darwin Ham, scoring guard: Rich Balding. The white team has two rookies, center: Daco Milicic, power forward: Ronald, small forward: Terrance, point guard: Lindsey Hunt, and shooting guard: Osborne. After the team is divided, the intra-team basketball competition will start.
