Chapter 110 Listen More To Smart People

Oakland Convention Center

The training ground of the Warriors is here, and today is the day they hold tryouts.Unlike the trial training that Wei Xia participated in before, he was not the only one who came to the Warriors for a trial training.

There are nine other players.

Among them was a lottery prospect named Ike Diogu, whose wingspan impressed Wesha.

In order to test the true level of the two sides, the Warriors deliberately let them play a match.

Wei Xia was really crazy.

The Bucks looked down on him, the Eagles played him, the Hornets didn't want him, and the Bobcats used him as a spare tire. He was ranked in the top five of the major mock draft lists, but he didn't get the promise of the team with the top six picks.

In other words, he got nothing except the "lotto promise" of the Bobcats.

They just watched a low-intensity workout and made a decision without referring to his college performance at all, as if his performance in college was of no value to the NBA.

The Warriors gave him a chance to vent all his anger.

In the matchup, he seemed to be back in Villanova, playing power forward for the Black team, and fighting for 20 minutes with the Nigerian Diogu, a lottery prospect.

Diogu's wingspan and strong rebounding ability made Wei Xia suffer a bit.

However, Wei Xia also persisted in fighting with many lottery-level university insiders all the way. Diogu's challenge was soon parried by him with a stronger fighting spirit.

It was Diogu's turn to be unlucky.

He was targeted by Weisha many times on the defensive end. In one offensive and defensive transition, the Nigerian was eager to defend and did not choose the right position. I saw "Wish" stepping into the free throw line and gliding out from a long distance. Without giving the white team half a second to react, his right hand fell into the basket like a tomahawk, igniting the scene.

"I saw sparks in his eyes," Warriors assistant coach Mario Elie told those around him.

Warriors head coach Mike Montgomery had a whim: "Maybe we should start him at power forward."

Because Wei Xia played power forward very well in college, it shouldn't be bad to enter the NBA.

He had such an idea, no wonder he was laid off within two years.

The Warriors attach great importance to today's trial training, and general manager "God's Left Hand" Chris Mullin is on the scene.

In the player era, Mullin had been teammates with Miller. Weixia's hard work and ruthlessness on the defensive end, and his running without hesitation on the offensive end made him see Miller's shadow.

However, Wei Xia's running position is still too tender.

Miller's off-ball movement was carefully planned by the coaching staff, designed tactics, and then let him adapt on the spot.

Wei Xia went to extremes.

His running position is not very clever, it can even be said to be a brainless running position.He managed to run without affecting his teammates, but running for a long time in a large area wastes a lot of unnecessary energy and still can't run. There are reasons why the defender can't get the ball out of the chance.

His movement is obsessed with consuming opponents rather than creating chances.

That's a question of his philosophy.

In high school, Wei Xia often ran to kill his opponents.

After going to college, he was used by Villanova as a power forward. His main role is to fight on the defensive end and kill the opponent's power forward on the offensive end or disrupt the opponent's formation through running positions.

None of these characteristics do not reflect Villanova's lack of training in off-ball running.

If Wei Xia's university is Connecticut, his current running position and shooting will definitely not be what they are now.

Mullin is observant. He was an outsider when he was a player, and he has his own judgment on defenders.

Wescia dominated the game.

He was also a teammate of the black team, a player named Monta Ellis surprised him very much.

Although Ellis is thin and thin, his skills are rich and mature. He can shoot with the ball or catch and shoot.Without him, it would be impossible for Wei Xia to achieve the effect of dominating the audience.

Mullin did not expect to find two good seedlings in a trial training.

And they're all defenders.

The Warriors already have enough guards. Are they going to draft two more guards in one draft?

Think about it, Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Derek Fisher, Michael Pietrus, and if they do draft Versia and Ellis on the team, how crowded the Warriors' guard line will be next season, and how strong the competition in the backcourt will be?

"It seems that we have to seriously consider the transformation of 'Visa' into a power forward." Mullin said, it seems that Wei Xia is already in the pocket of the Warriors, and he is starting to worry about other people's positioning in the team.

Mullin's team consultant and development consultant John MacLeod (John MacLeod) smiled lightly: "'Visa' style of play reminds me of a person."

Although McLeod is only a double consultant for the team, Mullin respects him very much.

The former served as the head coach of the first team for 18 years before transitioning as a consultant behind the scenes, including 14 consecutive years of coaching (1973-1987) in the Suns alone.He is well-informed and experienced, and he suggested that the team trade All-Star guard Charlie Scott from the Celtics for the frustrated Paul Westphal (Paul Westphal), which slammed the Cardinals.

Westphal led the Suns to the finals in the following 1975-76 season, and fought the Celtics in six games. They also experienced the legendary Game 5 three-overtime decisive battle.

People of Mullin's generation grew up listening to legendary stories, and those smart people who can make people like the cardinal suffer, you should listen to him more.

"Who?" Mullin asked.

"'Hondo'," McLeod read out a name that was taken away by time and deeply hidden in the long river of history, "'Hondo' John Havlicek."

20分钟的对抗赛结束了，韦夏得到19分13篮板3助攻3抢断和3盖帽，竟然1次失误都没有。

Mullin watched the field in astonishment.

What the old man around him said made him even more astonished: "If we get 'Visa', don't let him play power forward. We have to get him at all costs. There are so many young people who have tried out these days, only 'Visa'. Only he makes me feel that if we have the opportunity to get him but miss it, we will spend ten years or even longer to repent for this wrong decision."
