The three-day bootcamp was fast.

In the past three days, Xu Yong's harvest has been very limited.

Once again, the facts have proved a truth: cheap is indeed not good.

This training camp is clearly a circle of money.

Of course, most people are still very satisfied, after all, they met Jordan himself on the first day, and they also had a conversation with Jordan himself.

If this were to be changed, it would be impossible to see Jordan in front of this little money.

Of course, such a training camp did not help Xu Yong in any way, and the thousands of dollars Schwartz invested in him were in vain.

Of course, Xu Yong was not reconciled, so on the last day of training camp, he found an opportunity to chat with Grover alone.

At first, he just asked for some training details and probed Grover's tone.

Grover didn't show resistance to his question, maybe even a little enthusiastic.

This made Xu Yong make up his mind, and immediately sent an invitation to Grover: "Mr. Grover, I want to hire you as my personal trainer." ”

Grover was stunned by Xu Yong's sudden request.

On the first day of the training camp, when he saw Xu Yong and Jordan fighting bulls, and then Jordan taught the others a lesson one by one but didn't look for Xu Yong, he moved his mind.

If Xu Yong really meets his requirements, he does not rule out the possibility of cooperation.

You must know that ordinary trainers are picked, but top trainers are picked in turn.

Especially a trainer of his level.

After Jordan, Hill, Kobe, Maddy, Wade, they are in a cooperative relationship.

He helped them improve their skills, and they used their professional performance to further enhance his reputation.

It's just that now that his fame has reached the point where he doesn't need to do that anymore, what he is doing now is to open some training camps to make money, plus the regular operation of converting fame into capital: publishing books.

However, the matter of publishing a book needs to be topical.

That's why Pippen, who has always respected Jordan in the future, suddenly said something crazy one day: "Michael Jordan is a terrible player, and it feels terrible to play with him."

That's right, if you see a star you know suddenly say something unusual, he's probably going to sell books.

After all, black and red are also red, as long as there is attention and topicality, money is in the pocket, and the reputation is stinky can also be washed with money.

Of course, Grover's generation of training masters naturally doesn't want to use this way.

If he can pick another young man to work with, and that young man can make a name for himself, that's the best way.

After all, his book will take some time to be written.

"I spend more time with my family now and don't have the idea of becoming a personal trainer yet." Grover replied.

Xu Yong was a little helpless when he heard this, although he knew that it was unlikely, but his character was like this, and he would not be willing if he didn't try.

'But we can keep in touch and I think you're a very special player and we can communicate more on our phones. However, what Grover said next made Xu Yong see the opportunity again.

Having lived two lives, he naturally got the meaning of Grover's words.

To use an analogy, this is that the girl did not refuse after listening to your confession, saying that she still needs to know more about it, and summarize it in two words: there is a play.

It's worth the few thousand dollars.

……

Xu Yong did not return to Tempe after training camp, but stayed in Chicago.

Two days later, Harden, DeRozan and Ayers also arrived in Chicago.

The next day, May 10th, the annual Chicago Joint Tryout will begin.

The so-called joint tryout is a "blind date" stage built by the NBA's official organization for the management and rookies of each team.

If the team's management has their eye on a rookie, they can "hold hands" and take it home for a private tryout.

Of course, there are still some differences from real blind dates, because a rookie may be favored by many people, and then it will inevitably be an open and secret fight.

Because most of the management will send people, and even many of them are general managers who have draft decision-making power, so most of the rookies will also come.

Of course, there are some players who will choose not to come in order to maintain the "mystery", or if they have already received commitments from certain teams.

This includes Yi Jianlian, when Yi Jianlian's agent Dan Fagan conducted a "chair trial" in order to maintain mystery, which was once widely circulated.

Xu Yong didn't choose to do this, because his current pick is not very stable, and he will participate with Harden and them.

On the day of the trial, Xu Yong and Harden went to the trial arena together, where they saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Familiar ones, that is, those who have played before, such as this year's top pick Griffin, as well as Tyrek Evans, Jordan Hill, Jrue Holiday , Thabitt, and the North Carolina Four Young.

But more are still unfamiliar, like Curry.

Because he hadn't played in invitational tournaments or tournaments before, this was the first time Xu Yong had met Curry.

Then, this was also the first time that Xu Yong recognized the other party at a glance.

It's really Curry's baby face that is so special, it's basically no different from the face more than ten years later.

Then, Harden went straight up to say hello.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, is there anyone who doesn't know Harden?

But if you think about it, it's not surprising that talented players in the United States are usually invited to some temporary training camps when they are younger.

Xu Yong's words were halfway to the United States to study in high school, which was not in the range, so he was surprised.

Soon, the management of each team also came to the stadium one after another, and the joint trial officially began.

The tryouts last about a week, during which the players undergo body measurements, medical exams, sports tests, shooting demonstrations, media interviews, etc.

The first two days of the tryout, which were physical tests and sports tests, were the most relaxed for the players, but they were also the part that attracted the most attention from the managers.

This can be seen from the content of the test, body measurements include body fat percentage, height in shoes, bare foot height, arm span, weight, hand length, hand width, etc.; The exercise test includes vertical jumps on the spot, run-up jumps, bench presses, three-quarter sprints, four-point moves in the 3-second zone, and baseline round-trip runs.

To summarize simply, this is the static and dynamic talent test of players.

Xu Yong's test order is relatively high, and his data is also the earliest.

The physical test data are as follows:

Body fat percentage: 7%

Barefoot height: 203.235cm

Height in shoes: 205.825cm

Arm span: 212.455cm【Note 8】

Weight: 103 kg

Hand length: 23.25cm

Hand width: 25.86cm

After completing the static test, Xu Yong went to participate in the dynamic test.

And in this test session, he directly opened with a blockbuster.

Vertical take-off height: 104cm

Running and jumping height: 375cm

This result has attracted the attention of many management.

Especially the team management staff who held the lotto in their hands at the bottom of the rankings, their eyes began to shine when they looked at Xu Yong.

Xu Yong was also a little excited.

Before he was reborn, although he had not done a public test, he privately tested the running jump at about 370cm.

But now, he's 5cm taller than before!

It's not that he's in good shape today, it's that the physical training in the past four years has allowed him to break his bottleneck and go further!

The saying goes, "You can pretend to try, but the results don't lie."

After putting in so much effort, Xu Yong harvested the fresh and sweet fruits watered by sweat!

After the bouncing test, he went on to perform other dynamic talent tests, whether it was a bench press for strength or a switchback run for speed.

It should be noted here that during the NCAA period, in order to adapt to the role of the team's power forward, he made a certain weight gain and weighed around 109 kilograms.

But in order to participate in the draft, he has carried out a very purposeful weight loss and muscle gain in the past few months, reducing his weight to about 103 kilograms.

What changed him was that he was much faster than he was in the NCAA, provided he didn't lose his strength.

After the foursome finished the talent test one after another, Xu Yong was undoubtedly the best one, and even ranked high among all the players overall.

In fact, after the two-day test, Xu Yong's agent Schwartz accepted many private trial invitations.

That includes the Thunder, Warriors, Wizards, Knicks, and other teams with high lottery lottery chances.

Therefore, Xu Yong's decision to participate in this joint trial is extremely correct.

The whole trial process went smoothly, but there was one thing that Xu Yong still remembers.

It was during the full-court confrontation, and Curry actually came to a two-handed three-in-a-row dunk during the fast break.gif failed.

This scene stunned Xu Yong, and he had to sigh with emotion, the top shooter has a heart to buckle the general, "Golden State Laven", there are early signs.
