Chapter 23 Joint Trials

19 May 2005.

Feng Feng woke up naturally, and after more than a month of training, he also developed the habit of getting up early, and got up every morning to start training.

I got on the plane and arrived in Chicago on time at two o'clock in the afternoon to meet with Bill Duffy and sign the contract. Then start preparing for the joint trial on a cloudy day. Bill Duffy has a little bit to say about the joint tryouts.

The next day, I went to a joint trial with Bill Duffy. Because of the reasons I experienced a lot last time, I would rather be an hour early than a minute late, which is a habit I have developed, and I am not willing to let the other party wait for me.

After arriving at the scene, the doorman saw that it was from the Celestial Empire, and he couldn't help but watch it a few more times, because it had been too long for someone from the Celestial Empire to come here to participate in the joint trial, and the last rookie Yao Yin, but none of them participated in the draft trial.

Half an hour later, the players and staff of the trial came to the stadium one after another. When everyone saw Feng Feng, they all showed surprised expressions, and they all focused their eyes on Feng Feng's body.

That's because many of the players who were expected to be high in the draft didn't come to the joint tryout in Chicago.

A discordant voice sounded, "Who is this person, is he from the Celestial Empire?" How can someone from the Celestial Empire come to try out, are they joking with me? Not everyone is Yao Yin. ”

"It seems a little familiar, isn't it the Celestial man who replicated Jordan's free-throw line dunk and Carter's classic 360-degree turn dunk?"

There are also people who are familiar to later generations, such as three-time slam dunk champion Nate Robinson, future nine-finger shooter Gerald Green, handsome David Lee and others.

It adds up to thirty or forty people.

After a while, a staff member of the people, holding the list of tryouts, briefly introduced himself, and then said to everyone, "The trial will start in five minutes, everyone is ready, and the person whose name I read will start to do the body side on my right hand first." ”

About an hour has passed, and more than half of them have completed their body flanks.

"Next, Feng Feng, come here to do the side."

Feng Feng's side attracted many onlookers.

The staff came to Feng Feng's side as if they were going through the motions.

Although there is a Yao Yin in the Celestial Empire, he is a big man, but not every big man can become Yao Yin.

Although the flexibility of the Celestial Empire is better than that of the beautiful people, the NBA is not only flexible.

Started the stat test of static talents:

NET HEIGHT: 207CM

Height in shoes: 210CM

REACH: 228CM

Standing touch height: 278CM

This height and arm span are a bit scary. For basketball players, such a static talent is still very surprising.

The people around him began to talk.

"With this height, with such an arm span, the static talent is not ordinary."

That's for sure, it's much stronger than a lot of short-handed monsters, okay?

Body fat percentage: 8%

WEIGHT: 95KG

I've gained a lot of weight compared to the beginning, so it's no wonder that my strength has increased so quickly, but I'm still a little thin.

"Next project, bounce."

Feng Feng did a simple warm-up activity, and many people's team management began to talk about it, after all, it was someone who had a strong dunk.

"Dripping ......" sounded softly, and the machine scale had been recorded.

VERTICAL TAKE-OFF ON THE SPOT: 89CM

It's getting harder and harder to improve the bounce, it's really hard to improve, and I feel like I've come to a bottleneck.

"Dripping ......" sounded softly, and the machine scale had been recorded.

VERTICAL JUMP: 104CM

At this time, the top management of many teams began to be calm, this bounce, black players are not necessarily so strong.

Feng Feng was a little proud, that's for sure, after all, my brother is a person with Jordan's physical fitness.

Next up is the speed test. The same is to use professional instruments for testing, and one of what Feng Feng needs to do is a full-court switchback run, and the other is a 3/4 course sprint.

It's all routine testing.

Turning back and running, Feng Feng was ready to start with all his might, and the sound of "swish" was like an arrow off the string, and the speed was still increasing, like a Titan giant ape, sprinting forward. When you get to the three-point line in the frontcourt, slow down slightly, then follow the baseline in the frontcourt, make a turn, and accelerate to the backcourt again.

The management of the team on the sidelines of the "......" showed some eyes that were not easy for others to notice.

A scout from a buck pair walked up to the staff and took a look at Feng Feng's body side data.

"10.9 seconds!" It's a good stat, it's not a very good statistic, and James was only "10.4 seconds." ”

This speed is already excellent.

3/4 of the court sprinted, it took only 3.1 seconds without the ball, and it took only 3.4 seconds to run with the ball.

That's a pretty good height.

The next test is non-confrontational training, and many people have begun to pay attention to Feng Feng's side.

Start shooting three-pointers first.

"Except for the first ball that didn't go in, I hit 10 goals in a row, but I still hit the ball."

This shooting percentage is so high, if it is a three-point shooting competition, but the shooting rate of being able to win the championship is ah.

I played super well today, and I actually shot about 90% of the shots, and my usual training is 80% of the hits, it seems that with the motivation, the effect is better. It's all about my desire for the NBA.

"But it seems to be a little bit of a question, and it would be better if it could change it."

"It's unbelievable."

The team's scouts began to record the scene they saw in front of them, and were ready to go back and suggest to the management that if the player they wanted to choose was selected by another team in front, then Feng Feng could be used as an alternative.

One by one, scouts, their eyes lit up, looking at Feng Feng's hit rate, it was like admiring a beautiful jade, with only a little carving, it was a talent who could become a marksman.

Two-point shooting percentages are still high.

Then it's time to shoot with the ball, but it's time to finish the calf, this ball speed, this shooting percentage.

It's really spicy.

Scouts have sighed, this is not the ability to attack independently, the team does not have a super strong player to attack the team, a little began to retreat, after all, they all hope that the player can have a certain offensive ability, even if it is not very good, you can also do some training in the later stage, and it will be improved.

But this kind of player with a little independent offensive ability is not so good.

Only players with James, Wade, Anthony, Kobe Bryant, and Maddy need such players, because they don't need him to create offense, they just need to be able to catch the ball and shoot the ball in.

Many scouts began to think about what kind of pick is suitable for Feng Feng, with explosive physical fitness, strong static talent, and a second-round pick is still worth it.

The strength test began, and the standard bench press training, because my weight was still relatively light, so there was still a lot of lack of strength.

Bench press test: 12 reps.

This has also improved a few times, and it is okay that the training is not in vain.

Maximum bench press: 145 kg.

This power is another plus.

Scouts and managers of many teams have contacted Bill Duffy, hoping to invite Feng Feng to his team for a solo tryout.

Bill Duffy, did not refuse, nor did he immediately agree.

He knew that many people in the Celestial Empire were very assertive, so they still needed to discuss with Feng Feng before they could agree.

At this time, David Li walked over to Feng Feng, made a simple exchange, and left his contact information.

I hope to practice more in the future.

After hearing that Feng Feng would also go to the Knicks to train alone, his face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
