Chapter 8 Draft Trial
At the beginning, all kinds of begging! Ask for a referral ticket! Strive for two more today!
In the dormitory of North Lawrence High School, Jonny looked at the computer boredly, and couldn't help lamenting in his heart: Sure enough, there is no League of Legends in this place!
Suddenly, Jimmy Adams shouted excitedly outside, "Jonny! Jonny! Come out and show you the good stuff! ā
A few seconds later, Jonny took a piece of paper from Jimmy Adams' hand.
"A piece of paper?"
"That's right, this is no ordinary paper!"
"How unusual?"
"Just open it and see!"
"Chicago Rookie Camp Invitation?" Jonny opened the piece of paper and read it aloud.
"That's right, Jonny, whether you can be drafted by the NBA or not depends on this Chicago rookie joint training camp!"
Chicago is only 292 kilometers from Trehot, so in order to save money, Jonny Lee took a bus to Chicago alone, bringing the invitation that Jimmy Adams considered a treasure.
At this time, the hottest thing in Chicago was not the rookie joint training camp, but the Finals, Michael Jordan returned as king, and in the first full season of his comeback, he led the Bulls to the Finals again. On June 5th, when Jonny Lee arrived at the rookie joint training camp, the finals officially began!
When Jonny Lee arrived at the stadium where the joint tryouts were held, he showed his invitation and was asked to do a physical test.
Jonny Lee lined up and there were a lot of players attending this training camp, almost all of the players who signed up for this year's draft, because this training camp was a good opportunity to prove themselves, and almost all of the team's scouts and even management would come to check it out.
And now, Jonny was so bored that he could only start looking around, because the long line in front of him was so long, and Jonny swept a player in front of him, and there was a black man with a ditch head, who looked about the same height as Jonny, but very strong.
"Hey, buddy, what's your name?" Jonny was bored, and he decided to strike up a conversation with the fierce-looking black man in front of him.
"Hi, my name is Ben, Wallace." Unexpectedly, this fierce black man showed a simple expression, and Jonny was speechless, and he couldn't look like a real person.
"Hello, Ben, I'm Jonny Lee! By the way, where are you located? Jonny held out his hand and shook it with Ben Wallace's big black hands.
"I play center!"
"Center ......" Jonny was speechless again, and he repeated the sentence in his heart, people can't be deceitful.
"Well, I'm a shooting guard!"
The two chatted casually, and soon it was the turn of the big body test, and when the coach in charge of the body test reported that Big Ben's height was two meters and one, Jonny muttered a few words: "Sure enough, it's not much taller than me." However, Big Ben then made a move that surprised Jonny, and he said a few words in the coach's ear, and the coach shouted again: "Wrong, two meters and six!" ā
Jonny was shocked: "It's okay like this!" ā
"Of course, you don't know? When it's my turn, I'll report a 1.98 meter. The man behind Jonny interjected, a look of anticipation and smugness on his face.
Jonny glanced back in surprise, this person was about the same height as the one just now, and Jonny thought to himself, "There are also short ones, what a strange thing." ā
Then Big Ben measured his weight and arm span and bounced, and Big Ben's arm span was still very good, two meters and one eight. Then, Big Ben's next test stunned Jonny again, bench press, the coach frantically increased the weight, and the final number made everyone waiting for the physical test let out an exclamation.
207kgļ¼ Hercules!
Soon, Big Ben finished the test, it was Jonny's turn, Jonny was not ready to fake, the first height, the data given by the coach was 2 meters, and then the weight, 81.3kg, was a bit light. Then the arm span, about 2.03 meters, this data is also average. Then came the bench press, and Jonny blushed and scored 78kg of bench press in a laugh.
As for the other data, the bounce is 78cm in place and the run-up is 86cm, which is a very ordinary bounce. The speed was 3/4 of a half-time sprint in 3.02 seconds, and the coach's comment was that it was fast. However, Jonny Lee's overall stats were mediocre, so when Jonny Lee left, the player behind him said disdainfully: "I really can't figure out what time you waste with this kind of physical fitness!" ā
Jonny ignored it and went straight to the stadium area, he didn't have to pay attention to the weird thing.
In the stadium area, there are several coaches doing the work of the team, and everyone who comes here is immediately assigned to a new team, and Jonny has just arrived here and has his own team.
Jonny's eyes widened and he looked at the fierce-looking Big Ben, who scratched his head embarrassedly: "Jonny, we're teammates." ā
Well, although Jonny was very reluctant, the center of the squad he was assigned to was this short guy. In addition to Big Ben, the team's big forward is a player named Ammar McCastgill, and the small forward is Anthony Walker, this guy is relatively famous, and it is said that he has a chance to hit the top five picks, and the whole person is also dragging. The point guard is Drew Barry, and his father is more famous, former NBA star Rick Barry.
The real trial game will start the next day, so the rest of the day will be for the respective teams to grind.
Jonny looked at his four teammates with different expressions, Big Ben was eager to try, McCastgill had a warm smile on his face, Anthony Walker was unhappy, and Drew Barry was smiling faintly.
The first to speak was Drumbarry: "Okay, guys, why don't we come up with a tactic first?" ā
"Let's play the pick-and-roll, my pick-and-roll quality is very high!" McCastlegill jumped at the chance.
"block! Being a teammate with you guys is really an upset of eyebrows for eight lifetimes! Anthony Walker suddenly broke out, it turned out that he had just seen several of his draft opponents' teammates burst out, at least better than his group of teammates, and Anthony Walker, who broke out, couldn't stop looking at Jonny, among these teammates, he looked down on Jonny the most.
McCassgill's draft prediction is in the early part of the second round, and Drew Barry's draft prediction is in the late second round, these two teammates are still very good, as for that Ben Wallace, it's almost almost, but fortunately, the body is very good. That Jonny, who is not in good health, has no shadow on the draft prediction, this kind of player appears in his own team, that is going to be a hindrance!
And Jonny was not happy, especially when he found that this fat man couldn't stop looking at him, Jonny was angry: "Just block and dismantle, whoever doesn't fight will get out!" ā
And Anthony Walker was also angry when he heard Jonny's words: "**What is it!" Just give me the ball, that's the tactics! Then, he reacted and added: "If you don't want to, I'll go!" ā
Drew Barry smiled reluctantly, he didn't want to lose Anthony Walker as a teammate, with Anthony Walker as a teammate, their team could at least rush to the top of the joint training camp! So he said to Anthony Walker with a flattering smile: "Hit, hit, I'm the point guard, the ball is given to you." ā
Jonny pursed his lips and stopped talking, thinking to himself: Wait for the game, see how I steal your ball!
