Chapter 4 Trial Heat

When the plane landed at Miami International Airport, it was close to evening, and Beasley and Singler had dinner nearby. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The tryout is tomorrow at 9 a.m.

In order not to be late, Singler specially booked a hotel just a kilometer from the American Airlines arena, but he knew Beasley's lazy temperament.

But what he didn't know was that Beasley wasn't the Beasley he used to be.

Declined the Heat's offer to send someone to pick them up, the two took a taxi to the hotel, and there was no nightlife, so they went to bed early.

The next day, Beasley woke up early in the morning, took a cool shower, and woke Singler, who was still asleep.

"Bruce! Bruce! Get up! If we don't get up again, we'll be late! Beasley smirked.

Singler woke up in a daze, "What time is it?" Then he picked up his phone and looked: 5:40.

"Michael! I'm going to kill you damn bastard!! ”

……

"Why are you so excited today! It's not like you! Starbucks, Singler said indistinctly as he took a bite of the French croissant.

Beasley took a sip of water and smiled, "Why is it not like me, isn't it good enough to wake you up and take you to breakfast?" ”

Then he pretended to be very pitiful: "Watching you eat dessert and drink coffee, but I can only eat eggs and drink water, alas, my life is so miserable!" ”

Singler said in disgust: "Okay, okay, don't disgust me!" I really didn't expect you to be so self-disciplined now, go to bed early and get up early, don't touch marijuana and don't drink coffee. Can you tell me what the hell you went to China for? Is there really a wizard in China? ”

"I call myself clean, you know?" Beasley pricked up his nostrils and sneered at Singler.

After breakfast, Singer made a phone call with Pat Riley, who politely asked if Miami was too hot, and Singer smiled and said no, and then Riley said that he was already waiting for them in the office, and Singer said that he would be there soon.

After hanging up the phone, the two went to the American Airlines arena.

American Airlines Arena is the home of the Miami Heat, built in 1999 and has a capacity of 19,600 spectators.

The arena, which he had only seen on TV in his previous life, was finally in front of Beasley, and he was confident that the Heat would pick him, so this arena would also be where his dream began.

Come on, Beasley cheered himself up.

Unknowingly, the two followed the Heat staff to the court, and at this time there were many players on the court playing a training game.

"Hey, Michael!" Pat Riley stood on the sidelines of the court and greeted Beasley warmly.

Why is Riley so passionate?

Because in his eyes, the ideal roster for future basketball is composed of five players such as James and Beasley. So no matter how serious Beasley's off-field shortcomings were, he chose Beasley without hesitation because he really loves such players.

"Dear Mr. Riley, we're not late!" Beasley said politely.

"How come, you guys are very punctual, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!" Riley laughed.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, they finally cut to the chase.

"Michael, if you're not feeling sick, let's get started now?" Riley shrugged.

Beasley was confident: "Of course, I'm fine. ”

The Heat's tryout is divided into two parts, the first part is a physical test, and the second part is a 1v1 or 2v2 to test your actual combat ability. Naturally, the Heat arranged a separate tryout for a rookie of Beasley's level, so it was impossible to play a training game specifically for this.

And Riley was 10,000 satisfied with Beasley in his heart, and the tryout or something was just a passing motion.

……

The physical test took half an hour, and the results came out quickly:

The height of the bare foot is 2.01 meters.

Shoes are 2.04 meters tall.

The reach is 2.14 meters.

Standing in place, it is 2.72 meters high.

The in-situ bounce height is 0.76 meters.

The height of the in-situ run-up is 0.89 meters.

Weight 108.4 kg.

Fat percentage 7.7%.

84 kg bench press 19 reps.

Switchback in the penalty area runs for 11.06 seconds.

3/4 sprint 3.24 seconds.

"The height is still a little damp!" In Riley's office, incoming Heat coach Eric Spoelstra furrowed his brow.

Riley waved his hand: "It's okay. The center is declining, and the future is the era of small ball, and if you put him in a small ball lineup to play power forward, I think he will average 25 points per game. It's just that this kid's defense is still a problem. ”

Spoelstra said with a smile: "In addition to his height, the other statistics are really good, he can run and jump, he has enough strength, and he can shoot basketballs, so he can average more than 20 points per game wherever he puts him!" ”

Riley also laughed when he heard this.

The results of the physical test were both counted by Beasley and Singler, and Beasley was not too entangled in the question of height.

Two meters and one is two meters and one, it's a big deal to go directly to the bottom of the small forward, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

In his previous life, Beasley slowly fell because of inconsistencies.

In the NCAA, players who are not three or four are basically big killers, playing the No. 3 position he plays with his back, playing the No. 4 position he breaks through, and no one can prevent it.

In the NBA, the facts have been reversed, he is too slow to play the No. 3 position, and he is too short to play the No. 4 position, and he is not strong enough.

It's a pity that the so-called tasteless food is abandoned, and Beasley in the later period has a bit of this meaning, if it weren't for his mid-range jumper ability that was still worth a few dollars, he would have no hope of returning to the NBA with his bad problems.

So in this life, he decided to be a small forward with good roots.

After a short break, the second part of the trial began immediately.

"Michael, given your individual offensive prowess, we don't think one-on-one can highlight your value more effectively, so we decided that the second part of the trial will be a two-on-two confrontation drill, and your teammates and opponents are ready." Riley actually wanted to see Beasley's ability to handle the ball and teamwork in the face of the pack.

During the NCAA era, Beasley didn't need a team at all, and the coach of Kansas University once said that he had only one of the most reliable tactics - Beasley's singles.

Beasley doesn't care if it's one-on-one or two-on-two, and his confident personality is perfectly preserved.

There are a lot of onlookers, all of whom are players invited by the Heat training camp, most of them are the kind that can't be selected, purely to try their luck, and now they just have the opportunity to see the high-profile champion hot candidates to play the match, and they all cheer up to watch.

Beasley changed to a white tank top, and he was on the same team as a tall, slender center who wore a number 10.

Two in black vests on the opposite side: a black guard wearing No. 3, who looks like he is very good at dribbling; The other is the Big White Bear, who wears No. 5 and is the center of Beasley's side.

Are you deliberately embarrassing me? Beasley thought to himself.

The two-on-two rule is simple, whichever team gets twenty-one points first wins, and there is no need to exchange possession to score a goal.

The warm-up is over and the game begins.

Beasley's side attacked first, and the white team's No. 10 center came up to cover very consciously. Beasley would have yelled at putting away your goddamn block, but now he didn't.

He went down the bandwagon, the black team's big white bear was too slow, and when he just wanted to make up for it, he was accelerated by Beasley, and he made an easy layup, 2-0.

The No. 3 defender hurriedly ran to the big white bear and said a few words, probably because of the big delay in the bag holder.

Beasley shook his head and chuckled, did it work?

In the second ball, the No. 10 center came out again to block the pick-and-roll, and this time Beasley did not go this way, but cleverly took the other way when the No. 3 guard grabbed the position early. The ball was a very visual spectacle, Beasley was empty in front of him, and he simply came to a windmill dunk, which caused the audience to exclaim continuously, and even Riley smiled.

Beasley felt that the opponent in this confrontation was too weak, and in the next round, he scored six goals in a row with a shot from outside the field, ignoring the opponent's defense as if it were nothing.

16 to 0.

Feeling like he's scored enough, Beasley finally wants an assist, he's still a natural point guard at heart. He'd already experienced how powerful this body was, and it was time to do something he'd never done before.

Beasley held the ball in one hand from beyond the three-point line in a dashing posture, and the No. 3 guard stared at him.

"Dude, are you going to kill me with your eyes defensively?" Beasley spewed trash talk at the defender, and before he could finish his words, he got up and down in an instant, passing him with a cross-step.

The big white bear was not slow to react this time, stepped forward to fill the position, Beasley glanced at his crotch, there was a lot of space, his head was slightly tilted to the left, and then there was a pass without looking at people.

The orange basketball was lightning fast, and it took only 0.1 seconds to pass through the crotch of the big white bear, and the No. 10 center received the ball and ended the fight with a dunk.

This crotch-piercing pass was so exciting, and the atmosphere in the arena reached a climax, and even called Beasley's alias.

“B-Easy!”

“B-Easy!”

“B-Easy!”

Beasley enjoyed the cheers, and he loved the feeling of being a star.

"He's going to pass the ball?" Spoelstra exclaimed.

Riley's face was the same.

At 18-0, the game was not over, Beasley felt so good that he decided to end the trial with a three-pointer.

There was a sense of annoyance in the eyes of the No. 3 defender, who had been humiliated by Beasley several times in this little match, and his resentment had reached its peak, and he decided to give Beasley a little color to see.

Beasley is still dribbling outside the three-point line, and the No. 10 center and the Big White Bear are very tacitly standing under the basket to watch him single the No. 3 guard.

Beasley dribbled the ball under his crotch and moved forward, with the No. 3 guard following closely.

Suddenly, Beasley pulled out his hand and the number 3 defender tried to interfere, but the height difference was too great.

The basketball arced through a wonderful arc and landed in the hoop, creating a beautiful circle of waves.

"Ahh

Beasley lay on the ground, clutching his ankle and screaming in pain.

Not far away, the No. 3 defender's face turned pale in an instant.

What happened?
