I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 49 I think we can reach the playoffs next season! (For collection, for follow-up)

Lu Yixia wanted to conduct special training, not to train skills, but to improve his physical fitness after washing up.

Physical fitness is the foundation for players to gain a foothold in the NBA!

Although technology is also important, but with technology alone, you can only be a role player in the NBA.

The super giants will suddenly fall due to injuries, and their physical fitness will decline when they are old. Even if they are as strong as Jordan, they can only leave the NBA sadly.

McGrady was a quasi-super giant before his injury, and Carter was a half-human and half-god before his injury.

Now that the four major shooting guards are no longer popular, only Kobe is strong, and in the final analysis it is because of his physical fitness.

Kobe is not a person with mediocre physical talents who are "disabled and strong" in the fans' mouths. On the contrary, Kobe has excellent physical talents and is very durable.

Patience is a must-have talent for super giants. Without it, at most, they are quasi-super giants that are short-lived.

However, after Kobe's Achilles tendon rupture, his strength will also decline rapidly, which is no longer the same as before. This is unavoidable for anyone.

Lu Yi didn't know what kind of serious injury he would encounter in the future. Lu Yi just wanted to save more attribute points while he was young, energetic, and patient.

It’s also good to clock in and go to work in the future, leaving more capital.

It's only late May now, and Lu Yi can train until the preseason game in early October without playing in the summer league.

This is a full four and a half months, rounded up to half a year!

It took Lu Yi half a year to improve his strength, agility, physique, and mental attributes from the first level to the highest level.

As for the technical aspect, there is no rush to clean up.

During the regular season, Lu Yida can practice with games and gradually improve.

Even if he is the No. [-] pick and his game performance is not good, so what if he plays more iron?
Durant entered the NBA, but was criticized by the majority of fans as only worthy of working in a blacksmith factory.

When rookies enter the NBA, most of them have a rookie wall. Lu Yi's poor performance at the beginning can be tolerated.

Besides, the Clippers have been bad for so many years, not bad for another year or two.

Lu Yi also knows that there is no helper at hand now, and he will lead the Clippers to the playoffs in his first season as a rookie, let alone win the championship with the Clippers.

With Sterling's character, he must be very happy to be able to make more money for him in the playoffs.

But the championship or something is not his pursuit.

The team has a good record, and if he can make it to the playoffs and sell tickets, he has no incentive to spend money to sign players at the All-Star level.

If Lu Yi wants his home team to win the championship, he can only think of ways to focus on draft picks and training his own rookies.

……

Sterling left the Staples Center shortly after negotiating some matters with Lewy and Austin.

As a capitalist, Sterling will not focus on the Clippers.

On the contrary, Sterling cares about the Clippers and only cares about how much money the Clippers can make him.

After Sterling left, Lu Yi and Austin did not leave so quickly.

General manager and head coach Deng Levy still kept Lu Yi to do some team trial work.

The Clippers' money goes to Sterling, and the rest goes to Dunleavy.

As the general manager and head coach, Dunleavy is actually not very capable.

If he really has the ability, he won't stay in the Clippers for several years, earning a meager salary, but having to wear multiple jobs.

If it wasn't for no one, Dunleavy would have quit long ago.

And Dunleavy worked hard to help the Clippers reach the playoffs. He did succeed once in many years, but he quickly rushed to compete for the No. [-] pick.

Lu Yi is the result of years of poor performance by the Clippers. If Dunleavy wants to get out of the quagmire of the Clippers, he has to count on Lu Yi to be able to play in the NBA and help the Clippers reach the playoffs again.

To put it bluntly, Dunleavy is a gambler, and now his only bargaining chip is involuntarily placed on Lu Yi.

The point is, Dunleavy still has to be successful!
Therefore, Dunleavy must know whether he can see real hope in Lu Yi.

seeing is believing.

Dunleavy knew that Lu Yi played very well in the NCAA tournament. Dunleavy knew that Lu Yi miraculously scored 50+ in two consecutive games in the semifinals and finals.

However, as the general manager and head coach of the team, it is necessary to know the true potential of Lu Yi through a scientific method.

Dunleavy needs to conduct a basic physical test on Lu Yi to strengthen his confidence in Lu Yi and the Clippers in the new season.

Fortunately, Lu Yi is able to get along with him, and he doesn't have Sterling's preference, so he pretends to be a tiger and bosses him around.

Lu Yi accepted Dunleavy's request for a physical examination, and it took more than an hour in the end, and Dunleavy also got the result he wanted.

"Mike, we have to get him! I think we'll make the playoffs next season!" Baron Davis said, dancing and spitting.

Beard just suffered a back injury last season. Although he has recovered, he has not fully recovered.

A hundred days of injury, not to mention the most serious back injury affecting a man's physical condition.

It can be said that during the period after the end of the regular season, the bearded man is actually still in the period of health preservation.

Dunleavy also has no choice, the team has not many staff members, and the existing assistant resources cannot measure Lu Yi's true level.

In the end, Deng Levy told the bearded man on the phone that the boss appointed a Chinese guard to be the No. [-] pick of the Clippers. He had no idea and had to find someone to try Lu Yi's actual combat level.

When the bearded man heard it, the team finally won the No. [-] lottery. The boss, an amateur commanding an expert, is looking for a Chinese defender in order to sell tickets?
Who is that Chinese defender?Can he fight?
My waist is already broken by the Clippers' stinky fish and rotten shrimp. I want my life next season, right?

The bearded man hadn't bothered to pay attention to who the Clippers chose as the No. [-] pick this year. The bearded man should have played music and danced.

But not long ago, he came to the Staples Center to try out Lu Yi impatiently.

Before the bearded man came, Lu Yi had already finished the physical examination.

Dunleavy has the physical test data of the joint trial guards over the years. Although Lu Yi's physical test results are not the best, they are at the top five level over the years.

Sometimes, it does not mean that the physical fitness of the champion must be No.1.

To become the No. [-] pick, actual combat level, defensive ability, psychological quality, and leadership temperament must be considered in many aspects.

Of course, the adaptability to the team is also critical.

Dunleavy hadn't been selected before, but Lu Yi's physical test data was not bad, even beyond his expectations. Dunleavy had basically recognized Lu Yi.

After the bearded man came, Dunleavy finally relaxed his frown.

"The boss finally did something."

"This Chinese defender is really a talent!"

Baron Davis has great physical fitness and strong singles ability.

Although he plays a point guard, he is a heavy guard, commonly known as a small steel cannon.

Post-ups can top most shooting guards in the league, even small forwards.

Previously, the Clippers were training for wing singles, and no one was an opponent with a beard.

During Lu Yi's trial training, he easily beat the bearded man like his son.

The bearded man was beaten up by Lu Yi, instead of being angry, he was very excited.

Indeed, not only teammates like Beard are very excited, but also a head coach like Dunleavy is very excited that the Clippers can choose a hunk like Lu Yi with the No. [-] pick.

"The upper limit of the template is Kobe, and the lower limit is Ray Allen? Is there a mistake? The No. [-] pick is not worthy of the Jordan template?"
