"Hey, great, you've surprised them with your performance," Fagan, the agent, handed a towel to the tall man who had just come out of the break.

"Whew" Gao Dazhuang exhaled, although the amount of exercise in this test project is not large, but a few months of absence from training due to healing still caused a trace of problems in Gao Dazhuang's physical fitness.

"The managers of several more teams have just shown great interest in you, and they are very happy with all your test results," Fagan said with a businessman's smile.

In fact, when operating Yi Jianlian's draft, Fagan had a major mistake, his failure began with the Orlando rookie training camp, when the NBA wanted to conduct a physical test on Yi Jianlian, Fagan let Yi Jianlian withdraw from the training camp, and then publicly claimed that he refused to go to the team that was interested in Yi Jianlian for a trial, and if he wanted to see Yi Jianlian's training, he had to make a special trip to Los Angeles.

When many general managers and scouts, including Celtics general manager Anji, arrived in Los Angeles, Fagan did not let Yi Jianlian conduct substantive training, so that people could not see Yi Jianlian's true level.

Fagan did this at the time to avoid Yi Jianlian's injury, which is beyond reproach, but the problem is that his series of actions have caused strong dissatisfaction among many NBA general managers and scouts.

And this year, the appearance of tall and strong in the rookie training camp after just recovering from injury has surprised some team managers.

Since entering the joint training camp, Gao Dazhuang has successively carried out a series of classified tests such as barefoot height, shoe height, weight, arm span, standing touch height, body fat content, hand length, hand width, vertical bounce on the spot, vertical bounce on the spot, maximum vertical bounce, maximum vertical bounce touch, 185 pound bench press, baseline switchback run, 3/4 sprint, full-court sprint run, etc., and the test data of tall and strong made the NBA managers present happy.

Tall and strong is 1.97 meters tall barefoot, 2.01 meters tall in shoes, nearly 2.07 meters in reach, and 2.62 meters tall in standing, which is extremely good in both point guard and scoring guard positions in this rookie.

In terms of strength and agility training, Tall and Strong also performed very well, and ranked in the top 5 of all rookies in terms of sprint ability, switchback running, and 3/4 field sprints.

The tall and strong three-quarters of the court sprint time is 3.16 seconds, which is better than Chris Paul (3.22 seconds) and Stephen Curry (3.28 seconds).

The tall and strong straight-line agility test took 10.81 seconds, which was also better than John Wall (10.84 seconds), Westbrook (10.98 seconds) and Paul (11.09 seconds).

The tall and muscular vertical jump height is 32 inches, and the maximum vertical jump is over 40 inches, and he is also in the top five of all rookies.

The most commendable thing is that all the sports data of Gao Dazhuang was measured when he had just recovered from injury, and the good physical fitness shown by Gao Dazhuang at this time also dispelled the doubts and worries of many team executives, and more and more teams focused on Gao Dazhuang.

In the training with the ball just now, the tall and strong shooting practice attracted the attention of more than 40 NBA team general managers and scouts in the East and West.

Tall and strong is also very calm, showing his shooting ability and some basic dribbling and jumping in a variety of different positions.

Although he has just resumed systematic training, he still shows a very soft touch and excellent running and jumping ability.

In the second half of the tryout, the general manager and scouts watching from the sidelines seemed to want to test the ability of the tall and strong man more, and the scouts from the Cavaliers took the initiative to walk onto the court and act as defensive players, creating more defensive pressure for the tall and strong shot, wanting to test his shooting ability in defensive situations.

When Gao Dazhuang further demonstrated his strong confrontation ability, many team managers and scouts on the sidelines have begun to communicate with Gao Dazhuang on the phone about some issues:

"Tall and strong in the defender position, with a very strong body and great athleticism, he is a player who knows how to play with his body very well"

"Tall and strong is a scoring guard who has the ability to pick up the team by attacking alone"

"The most remarkable thing about Tall is his offensive ability, in addition to his skillful dribbling skills, he has a very high shooting percentage in step-back shots, and can create his own scoring opportunities on the offensive end, making him a very versatile player."

"He's very beautiful in protecting the ball, he's used to having the ball on the pitch, but he has very few turnovers."

"Tall and strong can retract and release the ball when dribbling, can control his speed well, can get away from the opponent's defense, or create a foul inside and get a free throw opportunity"

"Tall and strong has three-point range, point guard vision, is good at fast breaks, and his pick-and-roll potential will be a big weapon for him to get stronger, he can pass the ball in time or rely on his speed to break through to the basket under the cover of the pick-and-roll to score."

"Tall and fast, which makes it impossible for opponents defending him to completely limit him in one-on-one situations, and his ability to break can mess up the opponent's three-second zone and create passing opportunities"

……

The tall and strong team attracted a lot of attention in the joint trial, but the most eye-catching focus of the audience was still the undisputed favorite - Davis.

Tall and strong also watched Davis's various tests and the "play" between Davis and his Kentucky alumni at close range on the sidelines: a guard found a suitable angle to get inside and was about to dunk a wonderful dunk to add to his future contract, but Davis took off from the other side of the basket, gave the opponent a hot pot in the air, and then appeared near the three-point line in the next second to make up for it......

As a big man of 2.08 meters, Davis has the agility of a defender, and on the defensive end, he has a long 226cm reach and excellent bounce, as well as a defensive IQ that is above the average person, he can always appear like a ghost in any corner of the court, interfere with the opponent's shots, and when his teammates are out of position, he can always appear in the support position.

"What a good opponent" Gao Dazhuang sighed a little that Davis's seemingly thin body had great energy, but this joint trial did not organize a confrontation match, and Gao Dazhuang lost the opportunity to fight Davis directly.

But Gao Dazhuang knew that Davis also noticed himself, because in the physical test, Gao Dazhuang's outstanding data also attracted the attention of this "quasi-champion".

"Fagan, who is the team that interests me the most right now?" After "interviewing" with several team managers, Gao Dazhuang ended the whole process of today's trial.

"The Portland Trail Blazers, their draft goal is clear, which is to select a guard with great potential, and you are their first target" Fagan said with some excitement: "Just now the manager of the Trail Blazers, Orsi, promised me that as long as you are not picked in the front, they will definitely draft you with the sixth pick"

"What do you think?" Tall and strong glanced at Fagan meaningfully.

Fagan also sensed through his tall and strong eyes that this player might be a little different from Yi Jianlian, who is also from China, and he had his own ideas.

Fagan hesitated for a moment and immediately spoke: "The Trail Blazers are located in Portland, Oregon, although Portland is known as the City of Roses, but it is actually only a second-tier port city, and the Trail Blazers have a poor record at the moment, although so, I think this team is suitable for you."

"You're very good, it's not so much about picking a team with the right style of play for you as it is about picking a team that can give you a lot of playing time, I firmly believe that as long as you give you enough playing time, you will definitely become a superstar" Fagan vowed "And the Trail Blazers are the team that can give you enough playing time"

"That's enough" Tall Stout suddenly interrupted Fagan and said with a smile: "I know that their core is Aldridge now"

"yes, a very young All-Star, if you go to the Trail Blazers, you're probably going to be a legendary pair," Fagan nodded.

"Oh, by the way, because you tore your ankle ligament this year, the Trail Blazers want you to be examined by their team doctor," Fagan said suddenly.

"Of course that's fine," the tall and stout shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you have any questions?" Gao Dazhuang, who was about to leave the arena, suddenly found that Fagan beside him was a little speechless, so he asked.

"Well, there is a situation that must be made clear to you, the Washington Wizards and the Cleveland Cavaliers have also made this request," Fagan said with a serious look at the tall man.

"Wizards and knights?" The tall man looked at Fagan with some confusion.

"Yes, in fact, it's not just the Wizards and Cavaliers, as of today, the Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Lakers have all made similar requests, except that the Wizards have the No. 3 pick and the Cavaliers have the No. 4 pick."

"You're saying the Wizards and Cavaliers might be interested in me too?" Gao Dazhuang asked with some joy.

"Yes, these two teams have sent invitations one after another after you have tested it, but that may not be a good thing," Fagan said with a bit of solemnity.

"You're trying to say that the Wizards had Wall last year, and the Cavaliers had Irving, last year's No. 1 pick, right?" The tall man was silent for a minute, and then suddenly spoke.

"Yes, that's what I'm most worried about, these two teams already have their own core, which is obviously not conducive to your future development, whether you go to the Wizards or the Cavaliers, not only will you get the status of not the core, but also the playing time will be affected, playing in these two teams is obviously much more difficult than playing in the Trail Blazers, who have always been optimistic about you," Fagan said with some concern.

"And what do you mean?" Gao Dazhuang asked rhetorically.

"Refuse their individual tryouts and medical requirements and let them see what you think," Fagan said.

"Refusal? Is that appropriate? Gao Dazhuang said with some concern.

"For your career," Fagan said firmly.

"Okay" After a minute of silence, Gao Dazhuang gave his decision.
