NBA: Starting off with Chamberlain's talent

San Francisco not only has the largest Chinatown in the United States.

The struggle stories of Chinese Americans have become an important part of the history of San Francisco.

When I came to a small rental house in San Francisco, it was very simple with two bedrooms and one living room.

Because of her good craftsmanship, her adoptive mother, Zhang Xinyi, also came to a small shop in Chinatown to open a Chinese restaurant according to the introduction of her acquaintances.

Zhang Xinyi, who is over 40, is very pleased with this child.

Zhang You was adopted by Zhang Xinyi since childhood and came to the beautiful country to join her boyfriend to make a living.

Compared with some other Chinese people who went smoothly, Zhang Xinyi was a bit unlucky.

Beautiful country's boyfriend saw Zhang Xinyi brought a Chinese child and immediately adjusted from marriage to breakup.

For many years, she has no one to rely on, and has led her children to work hard with her own hands until now.

Moreover, Zhang You played with Locke's children since he was a child, and he also loved playing basketball very much.

I thought Zhang You was also interested in basketball, but I didn't expect him to grow taller and taller in high school.

Zhang Xinyi thought he was suffering from gigantism and took him to the hospital.

But after a series of inspections, I found that my thoughts were redundant.

Everything recently shows that my muddleheaded adoption may have cultivated a character comparable to the Chinese basketball superstar Dayao!

A 20-square-meter shop in Chinatown, San Francisco

Zhang You is here to help clean up.

Zhang Xinyi invested all her belongings in and made up her mind to enter the catering industry in the Bay Area.

But she also didn't want to be a stumbling block for Zhang You.

"Stinky boy, are you bragging? Since so many teams invite you to try out, why do you come with me like a follower?"

Zhang Xinyi didn't want to be a drag on Zhang You.

Said pretending to be relaxed.

I also want him not to have a psychological burden.

"Go, go today. I want to try out the Warriors and the Lakers. Stay close to you."

Zhang You moved the table and said casually.

Hearing what Zhang You said, Zhang Xinyi stopped what she was doing.

"Come out, I'll tell you something."

She smiled and called Zhang You out of the shop.

Zhang You had question marks all over his face.

Are you looking for a boyfriend?

Maybe Mom knows I'm glad she chose to stay in the Bay Area.

Zhang Xinyi's smiling face changed, and she said expressionlessly: "You are 18 years old, I get annoyed when I see you, you'd better stay away from me."

"You should be on the basketball court, not the restaurant. If you can't make it to the NBA, don't come back."

"boom!"

Zhang Xinyi threw him two bottles of high-end liquor and closed the shop.

Shut Zhang You outside directly.

Zhang You was dumbfounded.

Good guy, a woman's face can change as soon as she says it.

But then he smiled, turned and left with the wine.

At this moment, he is extremely confident, just because of his talent that is visible to the naked eye.

As long as after the trial training, I don't believe that there is no team that is not tempted.

At this moment, Zhang Xinyi was stuck behind the door, feeling relieved that Zhang You had left her.

She muttered with relief in her eyes.

"Persevere to the end."

……

Los Angeles

staples center
Today the Lakers invited some rookies to try out.

Zhang You is also among them.

"Barefoot is 2.12 meters tall, weighs 118 kilograms, and has a wingspan of 2.34. Oh, scary guy."

Even the testers couldn't help admiring Zhang You's static talent.

"He's a natural athlete. Let's look at his dynamic talent again..."

A series of static talent tests followed by dynamic talent tests.

Zhang You and a group of rookies started the test.

Because the Lakers won the championship last season, they only got the 24th pick in the first round of the lottery in May.

Therefore, many popular players invited did not come to test.

Phil Jackson did not watch this workout because he had undergone heart bypass surgery.

Hosted by two assistant coaches Hamblen and Rambis.

Bench press, back and forth running, high touch...

"Sell cakes! How can he run so fast!!"

In the turn-back run, Zhang You completely killed the defenders running together.

It's petrifying.

collapsed.

When Zhang You fully demonstrated his talent, it had to be jaw-dropping.

"A little more powerful than Shaquille O'Neal."

"He even touched the top of the backboard, which was horrible."

The two assistant coaches looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

Regardless of the technical level, this is a genius even better than LeBron's talent!
O'Neal bench presses 200 kg, James 190 kg, and this high school student...

Reached 205 kg!

James bounced 98 on the spot and 118 on the run-up, which is already an existence against the sky.

And Zhang You bounced 101 on the spot and 121 on the run-up.

And so much taller than LeBron.

In addition, it is reasonable to be able to touch the top of the backboard with the terrifying wingspan.

"This... this is a talent comparable to Wilt Chamberlain."

They thought of another star of the Lakers.

This is a shorter Chamberlain, or an enhanced version of James!

It must be reported to the general manager immediately.

It wasn't long before Kupchak arrived.

At the moment they looked serious.

The other rookies are also aware of their talent.

It can't be compared with the Asian in front of me at all.

"Damn it, how can an Asian be so strong!"

"Maybe he specializes in track and field, and his skills are not very good."

"Maybe, but I heard that he can match LeBron James!"

While the other rookies whispered.

The assistant coach also arranged a confrontation between the two groups of AB.

This kind of confrontation is purely based on the personal ability of the newcomers.

Almost no one is willing to pass the ball and get the ball just by doing it by themselves.

"Hey, big man, what are you doing outside!"

"Come in for me!"

What makes them helpless is.

After Zhang You got the ball inside, he actually pulled out to face the frame.

He dribbled the ball in a simple disguise and passed directly!

He rushed in like holding a bomb.

No one wants to mess with him.

The young player who was about to foul Zhang You closed his eyes tightly.

For fear of being killed by Zhang You.

Are you going to rush up and beat me to death?
Do not!
After Zhang You encountered the help defense, he hit the ball on the ground and passed it to the 2-meter Brian Cook in the fourth position who was completely open under the basket.

The latter wiped the board and scored.

"..."

"It's a good pass, don't pass it on next time."

Cook gave him a thumbs up.

He was really touched.

This can be said to be a fateful trial training, and he actually fed me the ball.

We must be destined.

Zhang You was probably the only guy on the court who didn't have a strong desire to attack.

In addition to his body, he wants to show his best skills - passing.

This is the case.

Kupchak also saw Zhang You's scouting report.

The football report shows that the static talent is top-notch, and he plays the fifth position.

At the same time, it combines the power of speed and bounce.

An insider transformed from a point guard, with accurate passing and top-level vision, sometimes too fancy.

The shooting is below average in the league, and the defensive awareness is average, but the coverage area is large.

The biggest disadvantage is that his inside skills are rough, he is not good at low post singles, sometimes he likes all-or-nothing steals and one-stop fast breaks, and is suitable for organizing offenses with the ball.

Kupchak saw the scouting report, heck, he questioned it.

"He passes the ball so beautifully, do you call him a center forward?"
