Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 2 Physical Examination
The next morning, Kwame got up early.This is the first day in Los Angeles, and there are a lot of things to do.

Kwame didn't eat too much, for fear of affecting his performance on the side.After doing a morning exercise, he was picked up by the team personnel.

Came to the Staples Center, the training hall belonging to the Lakers.Kupchak was already waiting for him here, and Kwame was the last new player to come for a physical examination.Like Odom, he was originally a player in Los Angeles, but he has only been away for a year. He has already undergone a medical examination and went on vacation.Kwame was a few days late because of personal matters.

"Kwame, welcome to the Lakers, you will become a part of the great Lakers, I hope you work hard to help the team win." Kupchak said with a smile.

"It's my honor, sir. I hope to have a physical examination as soon as possible. I want to put myself into summer training earlier. I hope I can help the team soon." Kwame said that he had already thought about it. In terms of words, because this year is the contract year, I must do my best to perform well and strive for a big contract for myself.

"Okay, the team needs players like you. Gary, take Kwame for a physical examination." Kupchak didn't care much about Kwame, but was forced to find Kwame to replace him because there was no center forward.

Mickey really doesn't want Kwame very much. He and the Lakers' great heritage are completely complementary and raised, but there is no way, because there is no one to be found.

Last summer, the Lakers got the No. 4 forward and former best defensive back in history who wanted to be crazy about the championship. They became an All-Star team in an instant. Four superstars and Fisher joined forces to create a golden team. Entering the finals, by the way, made Fisher famous, but lost in the end!

Malone, when he was in the Jazz, averaged more than 20 points per game. He is a famous scorer, but now he only scored more than a dozen points.As far as the playoffs are concerned: the Rockets, Spurs, and Pistons are three defensive teams that make his offense useless. Although the Timberwolves are good at offense, Kevin, the MVP of 04, prevents him from easily walking in the restricted area. Plus injuries.This is not the most important thing. The thing that hurt the Lakers the most is that the old-hearted Malone actually molested Kobe’s wife. Maybe it was intentional or unintentional. The harassing “Mexican girl” made Malone and Kobe completely opposed. , despite being on the same team.

Payton, who has his own original "close defense method", has allowed the opposing point guard to score more than 15 points per game on average.Francis, Parker, and Billups, the three extremely fast guards, made him, an experienced but old man, unable to keep up. In this way, no matter how good the method is, he could not keep up.Coupled with Malone's instigation, Payton joined O'Neal's camp against Kobe, which made Kobe, the best defensive back in the league, not give any support to the glove's "full trust" in defense.

In OK, there is no need to talk about O'Neill's injury and Kobe's lawsuit.There are already 4 people here, and Phil's triangle offense can no longer show the offensive frenzy of the year.

A summer adjustment, in order to appease Kobe, Bass let the "shark" swim east and drove away the Zen master. "Glove" follows the shark, "Postman" retires, and "Old Fish" goes to the plateau.Leave Kobe alone.The helpless Mickey can only find some role players to support him, waiting for his revival.

Kwame suppressed the excitement in his heart. After all, it was the first time he came to the Lakers training hall. He glanced at the dozen or so championship trophies in the glass window on the second floor. I went to the medical examination.

More than an hour later, Gary excitedly ran into Kupchak's office with the medical examination form.Kwame was left alone for strength training, because Kwame knew that his strong back-up ability was an important reason why the Lakers liked him, so next season he must develop his ability better, strength is necessary , I have excellent physical fitness, but strength is not an absolute strength. For example, when defending against Shaq or Jermaine, I will often be blown up.

Gary brought Kwame's body to Kupchak and said excitedly: "Sir, it's incredible. This must be the most perverted body I've ever seen in my life. You can't imagine how good Kwame's body is. No, this can no longer be measured by excellence, this is abnormal, just like that beast-like man in the east, although his strength is not absolutely outstanding, but he is only 21 years old, strength is not a problem. This is really unimaginable... ..."

Kupchak has never seen Gary so excited. You know, Gary has been a trainer for the Lakers for more than 20 years. Because he can keep up with the changes of the times and innovate training methods, he has always been one of the best trainers in the league. one.He's done physicals for Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kobe Bryant, Jones, Van Exel, O'Neal, but he's never been this excited.

He snatched the data sheet over, and was not calm after seeing the data on it.

Height 208cm (6ft 211in) barefoot, 6cm (223ft 7in) in shoes, wingspan 4cm (285ft 113in), standing reach 252cm, weight 100kg (120lbs), vertical Bounced 100 cm, run-up jump reached an astonishing 10.8 cm, and 5-meter sprint reached 400 seconds, which means it was the same as Kobe's peak [-]-meter speed. The fat content reached [-]%.Bench press is [-] lbs a few times.Although the bench press is much worse than that of Malone, Barkley, and O'Neal, it has reached the upper-middle level of the league.

Kupchak thought of what was written in the scouting investigation report, Kwame's training courses in the Wizards.I really have the urge to kill Jordan!

Kupchak didn't know what it was like: this Michael Jordan who killed a thousand dollars, damn Abi Bolin, actually delayed Kwame for 3 years! !As far as your training method is concerned, Abdul-Jabbar can also make you into Orowokandi.To let a player with such outstanding physical talent play blue-collar for 3 years, and he is still a blue-collar with no guarantee of playing time.But if they didn't delay Kwame for three years, how would I get this him?ah. .Really contradictory, who cares.Now Kwame is ours! !
In the beginning, the Lakers really wanted Kwame to use his own defense to frighten the inside line, and rebuild with Odom and Kobe as the core.

Now seeing Kwame's physical fitness, coupled with Kwame's positive training attitude, Kupchak has some more ideas. If, just if, if Kwame has talent in offense, he might as well try the three cores of the Timberwolves last season. way to rebuild the team.

The 24-year-old Odom, the most versatile player in the league, Kobe, the best player in the league, plus a Kwame who may become stronger. . . . . . . . . .

Kupchak made a call: "Kobe, I found something interesting..."
