057: Battle of the Mountaintop

Although Shay has always been a very hard trainee, his attributes have never increased naturally.

It may be a bit cruel to say this, but playing basketball depends on talent.

It's not that if you work hard, you will be able to become great.

If you practice casually, you can increase your attributes, so NBA stars are not worth anything.

If you don't have enough talent, no matter how much you train yourself to death, you really won't increase your attributes.

Ordinary people practice shooting for 20 hours a day, and they may not be able to have Howard, which is the gap in talent.

So what are you laughing at? Howard, who was in the Taiwan Provincial League, scored three points like crazy.

In terms of basketball talent, Shay's natural growth may have peaked, after all, he is not a basketball player himself.

But Shay's physical talent still has room to rise.

So under Glover's training, Shay's speed increased by 2 points, his strength increased by 2 points, his physical strength increased by 3 points, and his bounce increased by 1 point.

That's 8 skill points!

In addition, a week ago, Shay finally completed the upgrade and gained another 10 attribute points.

The 10 stat points are drawn in 4 chances.

In addition to earning 10 stat points, Shay also earned a gold-level badge: Bulldozer Throw!

"Bulldozer throws (gold).

Effect: Increases the softness and stability of the toss at a medium amplitude, or after a confrontation between the moves. ”

Shay was pleasantly surprised by the badge, and the bulldozer threw it was a common offensive tactic for Luka 077 in the future.

Ordinary small guards generally finish throwing before their bodies make contact in order to avoid the big man's block.

Doncic's bulldozer throw is to use his excellent upper body strength to fight against the opponent, push the opponent away and then throw.

The difficulty is that Doncic won't affect his shooting feel after the matchup.

In the '22 European Championships, Doncic even made a throw outside the three-point line after opening Gobert, which was outrageous.

This badge is simply too useful for Shay, who played in the 90s, after all, there were so many opportunities to shoot without confrontation in the 90s.

And this badge can ensure that Shay still maintains a soft feel in the confrontation and throws.

It's kind of giving Shay one more means to score.

And don't forget, Shay's height and reach are not inferior even when compared to the front.

A person with a 2.06 meter reach and 2.28 meters plays throwing with you, and he is not afraid of confrontation, can you defend against this?

Although the range of attack is still limited to the penalty area, there are many skills that do not press.

In order to maximize the effect of the badge, Shay directly spent 4 attribute points on the close pitch this time, increasing it to 65.

With this combination, Shay's throwing is not incomprehensible, but it should also be useful.

With 6 points remaining, Shay gave 1 to a layup, and the layup ability value was stuck to 75.

The remaining 5 points were given to the dribble, which was increased to 80, touching the threshold of the "excellent" level.

The dribble of 75 may have been a bit stretched in the NBA, but adding to 80 is almost enough.

In this way, since the NCAA finals, Shay's strength has risen a lot!

With this kind of strength, it should not be a big problem to participate in the subsequent trial.

The growth of strength also gave Shay an incomparably strong desire to train.

So, although still tired, as soon as Glover shouted, Shay immediately turned off the TV and stood up.

Men, just want to sweat heartily while controlling the ball!

Seeing Shay working so hard, Glover couldn't help but think of the hot man he had last summer.

In order to take out the pistons, the boiled egg in Chicago also abused itself almost pervertedly last summer.

And whether Jordan can climb over the mountain of the bad boy army in this year's playoffs, Glover is looking forward to it.

Of course, Glover is also full of expectations for the young man in front of him.

Although they are two completely different types of players, in Shay, Glover also sees the ruthlessness of Chicago braised eggs.

I really don't know what sparks these two guys will rub together when they touch each other.

Training time is always fast, when Shay is growing in the wild, every day except training is eating and sleeping.

The NBA lottery draw also kicked off.

The lottery draw has always been an important and dramatic part of the NBA.

For example, in the 80s, there were rumors of "frozen envelopes".

Most people believe that the league in 1985 was intentional about getting the Knicks the No. 1 pick in the first lottery draw to select Ewing.

The aim is to tilt the alliance market towards the metropolis.

It was revealed that at the lottery ceremony that year, the Knicks' envelope was frozen at low temperature before being put into the lottery box.

So Stern knew which envelope the Knicks were at a touch, and then let the Knicks get the top pick.

Under pressure, Stern reformed the lotto draw again last year.

Instead of using envelopes, use ping pong balls.

The teams that did not enter the playoffs were given different numbers of table tennis balls according to their good or bad records, and these table tennis balls were put into a machine-selected container at the same time, and the champions, top eyes and flower checks were randomly drawn from it.

Those teams who have worked hard for a whole year have finally waited for the harvest season.

However, Stern's most successful overhaul of the lottery was that he didn't necessarily get the highest pick on the team with the worst record, which made the lottery draw dramatic.

This time the Nuggets were crying, and they didn't draw the top three picks after winning only 20 games last season, which was at the bottom of the league.

Only a four-number pick was automatically obtained.

Instead, the top three are the Hornets, Nets and Kings, who have a decent record among the bad teams.

Shay pouted, and this year's lotto draw didn't seem to have changed because of his arrival.

But it remains to be seen whether it will change in the future.

Seeing that the Nets won the pick, Carlisle was so happy that he died.

Because the Hornets chose Larry. Johnson is highly likely, so the Nets have a good chance of getting Shay with the second pick!

Carlisle, in his scouting report back to the Nets, can be said to have blown Shay to the ground.

More than the princess on the run.

If that doesn't blow up, Carlisle has serious doubts about the culture level of Nets management.

As soon as the lottery draw came out, Falck immediately returned to Shay and Glover's training ground.

Looking at Shay, whose muscles were more pronounced, Falk smiled with relief.

It was true that he threw Shay to Glover, this physique, he could bluff people at any stop.

"Ready? Now it's time to start a real fight, boy! ”

Shay's trial journey has officially begun!

Glover didn't let Shay go to a big joint trial because he didn't want teams that shouldn't have selected Shay to draft Shay.

He only allowed Shay to participate in a small joint trial organized by the top five teams in the lotto.

This kind of field, we only go high-end.

And when Larry. When Johnson saw Shay again at the tryout, his lump was crumbled.

Shay, the man who can make Johnson hard in an instant.

Shay greeted Johnson with a smile: "I met Aunt again, I really envy people like you who have an early holiday." Hey, March Madness is really tiring to the end. ”

"Shay, shut up!"

At this time, Mutombo, who came to participate in the trial with Shay, also immediately made up the knife: "Huh? Auntie, you don't leak your words now? ”

Larry. The corners of Johnson's mouth twitched, Geneva, how did a small Georgetown University produce your two sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks!

In addition to Mutombo, Johnson and Shay, there were quite a few people at the scene.

Some were Shay's old acquaintances on the college scene, such as Kenny. Anderson, "Plastic Man" Ogmund.

There are also unfamiliar faces, such as the Australian giant Longley, such as the bald man Bison who plays the No. 4 position. Dele.

There are a lot of people coming, so there will probably be a training match later.

Shaymo claps his fists, sorry Larry.

For the sake of higher ranking, I can only love you one more time.

The trial is about to begin, and the general managers and coaches of the teams are all in place.

Shay glanced across the audience and was surprised to spot Carlisle.

If you think about it, he seems to be a member of the Nets' coaching staff right now, so it's no surprise that he was on the spot.

Looking at it, Shay found another guy who shouldn't be here - Michael. Cooper.

Although this gentleman is not a supergiant, he was an important figure during the Lakers showtime.

Eight career All-Defensive Team players are enough to see his strong defensive ability.

After retiring from the game in '90, Cooper joined the Lakers coaching staff as a defensive trainer and was also responsible for the rookie training area.

He appeared in the back row of the stands in a low-key cap, and no one else even seemed to notice his presence.

Cooper wasn't going to sit idle to watch the tryout, so why would the Lakers' coach be in the middle of a small joint tryout for a top-five team in the lotto?

Before Shay could figure it out, the coaches urged the players to start the trial program.

After a bunch of basic tests such as height touching, switchback running, bench press, etc., the trial finally came to the most anticipated training match of each team.

The data on the side of the body is for reference only, and whether a player can play or not has to be verified through the game.

Just like the quality of a driver's driving skills, you can't look at how many points he has left on paper, but you have to verify it through your driving skills.

Shay and Larry. Johnson looked at each other, and the enemies were very red when they met, and they were both ready to make each other bleed.

But after the group list was announced, Shay and Johnson were stunned.

They were actually placed on the same team!

At this time, the other people who came to the trial were eyeing Shay and Johnson.

Because if you can take out the team of Shay and Johnson......

This order, can't it go up like crazy!

Shay and Johnson stood at the top of the mountain, and below them was a group of people who wanted to drive them down.

A battle to defend the top of the mountain kicked off.
