You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 108 Excellent as Expected
At the end of May, Wei Xia completed the formalities for leaving school.

To say goodbye to him, the basketball team held an unprecedented barbecue party. The members of the 2004-05 season championship team agreed to return to school to meet once a year.

Leaving Villanova, Weisha set off for the first trial training location-Charlotte.

山猫队的训练中心位于约克郡77号州际公路85号出口附近的夏洛特骑士体育场，占地6英亩，中心占地6.9万平方英尺。在米尔堡迪尔菲尔德大道2266号。

The Bobcats may be the poorest team in the NBA. Although Michael Jordan is only the small owner of the team, he has a decision-making power in basketball matters.

Fegan chose the Bobcats for a reason.

They have two lottery picks, and Jordan has witnessed how Wesha beat North Carolina in the championship game. As long as he plays normally, it is not difficult to get a draft commitment.

When Wei Xia arrived at the Bobcats' training center, his first impression was simplicity.

Simple might be the best adjective, but to put it bluntly, it's not much better than the gym at Villanova University's basketball team.

Wei Xia is the only one who came to try out today. After all, he is a popular rookie with high standards. The Bobcats' coaching staff is all focused on this.

Wesha met with the Bobcats' first head coach, Bernie Bickerstaff.

They met and chatted for a while. Judging from Bierstaff's brief remarks, he is a practical man who doesn't like to talk.

It just so happens that Wei Xia is the same.

Wei Xia first took a physical test.

His height was established two years ago, and he measured it again today, and it is still 6 feet 5 inches, which is almost 195.5 centimeters.

His wingspan is impressive.

Reached 6 feet 8 inches (209 cm).

Body fat rate, 8%.

And Wei Xia shocked the Bobcats coaching staff for the first time in the test of hand length and hand width.

When Bickerstaff's son BJ Bickerstaff got the result, he said silently: "The hand is 25.4 cm long and 26.2 cm wide?"

He repeated Wei Xia's hand length and width in his heart, and the most appropriate template came to his mind: Julius Owen!

This is a pair of hands bigger than their boss!
Jordan, who has never shown up, heard Wei Xia's hand length and width data, and expressed his understanding of his unstable shooting.

From a basketball standpoint, big hands are good and bad.

Some big hands can't practice shooting. They may work harder than anyone in private, but they just can't make shots in the game, because it is difficult for the big hands beyond the norm to find the muscle memory to dial the ball after intense physical confrontation.

Therefore, there is a reason why Wei Xia is so diligent in his game style, and the shot that should not be stretched is so blinding.

"It's really embarrassing for me, this guy." Jordan looked like a king with a cigar in his mouth.

Accompanied by assistant coach Jeff Capel (Jeff Capel).

Capel smiled and asked, "Why did Wish embarrass you, Michael?"

"I really want him, but his characteristics make me unable to make up my mind!" Jordan has his difficulties. "We are a new team, unpopular, unfounded, unattractive, and hard-powered. We have nothing to do. We must have long-term plans and cater to the fans' preferences."

Capel nodded slightly, he knew what Jordan wanted to say.

If you want to cater to the fans, you should choose local stars. They may not be able to bring about a qualitative change in the strength of the team, but they can trick fans with problematic brains to buy tickets to watch the game.

If they choose Wei Xia, the fans will be dissatisfied.

If Wei Xia plays out, he can still become a cash cow. If he can't play out, or if he doesn't meet the management's expectations, it will be a failed draft.

Although Jordan declared that he hopes to get a ring as a member of the management team, the Bobcats' team building philosophy and core have never regarded the championship as the top goal.

Profit is the key to the team's survival and sustainable development.

There is no sweetness, what are you talking about champions, what are you talking about dreams?
After Wei Xia's body side ended, the shooting test began.

A total of 100 of 84 jumpers outside the paint area, good stability.

A total of 100 of 71 jumpers from various positions from the free throw line were shot, and the accuracy dropped.

Jumpers from various positions one step after the free throw line, the shooting percentage fell like an avalanche: only 100 of 59 shots.

The jump shots outside the three-point line were terrible. Except for the 45-degree angle on the right side, which was 20 of 14 shots, the accuracy of other positions was simply eye-catching, with a total of 100 of 38 shots.

Jordan took out the cigar in his mouth and blew out: "Damn it, I can't be worse than him if I vote now!"

Although he already understood the reason for Wei Xia's poor shooting in his heart, he said unforgivingly: "He should go to the three-point contest and try to break my record!"

Next came the half-court confrontation test.

In order to test Wei Xia's confrontation ability, Bobcats specially transferred a player from the team to be a training partner.

The name of the visitor was Brian Knight. He was only 175 cm tall and had no three-point shooting ability at all. However, in the first season in the history of the Bobcats, that is, last season, he averaged 10 points and 9 assists per game.

Knight only used his speed to force Wei Xia for two rounds before showing timidity.

Wei Xia saw that he had no three-point threat, so he made an insulting four-meter defense against him.

Knight will die if he doesn't vote.

boom!
"Strike." No one told Wei Xia that there is no need to talk trash during the trial training.

In the transition between offense and defense, Weixia didn't give Knight any chance. The Bobcats specially asked Knight to come over for this confrontation trial, not to see how he ravaged Knight.

Wesha knew what Bobcats were really interested in.

His explosive power easily broke through Knight's defense, passing people but not cleanly, deliberately allowing Knight to catch up and perform various rare layups.

The only thing that looked rough was the tenth ball.

Wei Xia dunked Knight in the front.

Amazing physicality showed in that shot.

"It seems that there is no need for a physical fitness test. His vertical jump is definitely more than 1 meter!" BJ Billstaff said to his father.

Bierstaff looked at Wei Xia's trial training with a serious face.

From beginning to end, Wei Xia did not show any major problems.

In the training in the morning, he did extremely well. The tests arranged by the Bobcats, including shooting, all met his expectations.

All met expectations, but nothing exceeded expectations.

That's what worries Billstaff.

If Weixia's current level is still the same as in the NCAA championship game, it may be difficult to impress the management who intends to choose local stars to promote the ball market.Billstaff knows better that Wei Xia is a player who can bring qualitative changes to the team, just as the Bobcats scouting report said: the best player in this draft, the most unmissable player in this draft.

The only reason the Bobcats would miss him is that he's not a local, or even state, star.

Probably one more to add now.

He was as good as expected, but not amazing enough.At least, not the kind of surprise that can make the management give up the local star.

What the fuck!

What's the reason for this?
