The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 3, joint trial training.

10:[-] am.

Xue Ding returned to the dormitory, packed his luggage, said goodbye to the school team star Jackson in the dormitory, and then directly bought a plane ticket to Chicago in the afternoon!

Xue Ding's family is considered a middle-class family. He is the only son in the family, and he has already spent a lot of money on studying in the United States to pursue his dream.

So even though there was only more than 2000 US dollars left in his pocket, Xue Ding never asked his family for money.

Chicago is located in the state of Illinois in the Midwest of the United States. It faces the magnificent Lake Michigan in the east, one of the five great lakes in North America. It is one of the famous international financial centers and the third most populous city in the United States. It is considered a holy place for basketball.

The reason why it has become a holy place for basketball is also very simple.

One of the greatest players in basketball history once played for the Bulls here.

The glory of the Bulls is followed by silence.

This silence is the beginning of 10 years.

After Michael Jordan retired for the second time, the Bulls had new hope until they selected Derrick Rose, the No. [-] pick in last year's draft.

In Rose's rookie season, he averaged 37 minutes per game, 16.8 points, 6.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 0.2 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.5 turnovers per game. Among them, the shooting rate was 47.5%, the free throw rate was 78.8%, and the three-point shooting rate was 22.2%. There are many performances, leading the Bulls to a record of 41 wins and 41 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference, successfully reaching the playoffs, and by the way won the trophy of Rookie of the Year.

Xue Ding admires Rose very much, especially Rose who still insists on playing after the injury!
If you are not a person who really loves basketball, you will definitely not be able to persevere!

It's true that Tom is a street-hunting agent, but street-hopping has some uses.

For Xue Ding's spot in the joint trial training, Tom put all his old face on the line.

Tom found a chubby 30-year-old single female executive in the NBA league office. After eating Viagra and sleeping with her for three nights, he finally got Xue Ding's substitute spot. This spot was not included in the announced invitation list. , but only added as a fallback.

This is Tom's investment. If he hadn't seen this guy's terrifying talent, Tom wouldn't have made such a big investment.

Tom's younger brother was congested for three nights, it was not fun, it was really painful, he couldn't even accompany Xue Ding to the joint trial training, everything can only let Xue Ding die on his own.

There are as many as 64 players invited by the NBA to come to the joint trial training.

Xue Ding is not well-known in China, so the Chinese media hardly knows about him. Xue Ding also came in through the back door, and no one knows about him. Otherwise, he would have been like the Great Demon King Zhou, and the whole of China would have known about him after participating in the trial training.

Come to the rookie combine in Chicago.

Xue Ding was also very excited when he saw the bustling crowd around him! ! !
Although no one likes him.

Xue Ding saw many familiar figures.

Shafen, Mengku, Bearded Harden.
This is indeed a concentration camp for geniuses.

They are different from Xue Ding, a lonely player.

These big-name draft favorites are surrounded by a large group of people! !

Those are scouts, agents, media, tryout camp staff from various teams.

Xue Ding thanked Tom very much, although he didn't know how Tom was so awesome and got such a quota.

Because this quota is very important to Xue Ding.

The best scouts of almost all nba teams are gathered here
And Xue Ding only needs to show his talent.

It was not easy for Xue Ding to invite this manager to dinner.

On such a platform that the whole world pays attention to.

Xue Ding also believes that his performance can stand out! !
In such a genius gathering place, after comparing all the geniuses on one platform, there is basically a rough estimate of who is better and who is worse.

If Xue Ding can show a talent higher than these talents in the test with them, then there will be teams looking at him soon.

Just be good here.

Then Xue Ding officially entered the sights of the general managers and scouts of all nba teams, and the next team trial training was even easier. .

The person who received Xue Ding was an ordinary white staff member.

Xue Ding should be the loneliest rookie here, no one pays attention.

Under the leadership of the staff, Xue Ding silently accepted one item after another.

This trial training program led by NBA officials includes static tests (height with shoes, height without shoes, arm span, standing touch height, body fat content, hand length, hand width, etc.), dynamic test (vertical jump in place) , run-up jump, 185-pound bench press, 3/4 field sprint, baseline turn-back run, etc.), shooting test (three-point shooting, including high school, NCAA and NBA distances, mid-range shooting in each position, catch jumper, timed movement Mid-range shots, etc.), and various confrontation/non-confrontation tests, etc.

In order to meet the requirements of young players to show themselves, the NBA has also spent a lot of thought.

Organizing the team and the media to watch this is one of them.

More importantly, the trial training items can be freely chosen by the players.

For example, if you think you are good at jumping but not good at shooting, players can choose to take the jumping test and not the shooting test. For example, if a player thinks that his shooting is very stable but the confrontation is not good, then he can only take the shooting test to avoid exposing his short confrontation. plate.

Every test of the popular rookies is surrounded by many scouts and staff, Xue Ding also hears some amazing voices from time to time.

"Wow, Stephen Curry's bench press is actually 10 times, only 2 times less than Noah's."

"What's so strange about this, Harden lifted 17 times in this session!"

"That's different, that guy is fat."

Many people surrounded Curry during the physical test! !
Many scouts and reporters are talking about it. After all, if the NCAA scoring leader can adapt to the confrontation in the NBA, then his achievements will not be low.

In college, Curry’s three-point range and dribbling shooting ability have not yet been developed to the extreme. The reason why Curry will continue to stay in college until his sophomore year is that his father, Dell Curry, believes that Curry’s small body is not enough. The NBA doesn't have the ability to play shooting guard. I hope he can hone his ball handling and passing skills in college.

But judging from today's bench press data, it also seems to mean that NBA-level confrontation seems to be no problem for Curry.

There are many people in Curry next door, but there is still only one staff member beside Xue Ding who is recording.

"Maximum bench press 150 kg, 84 kg bench press 16 times."

This is Xue Ding's bench press data. Looking at the young staff member, this man is probably an intern, so he doesn't know how good or bad the data is!

Xue Ding didn't know where his statistics ranked, anyway, he should be better than the average defender.

The static data is going on one by one, Xue Ding's data is not very different from what he sees in the system, the height is still the same height, and the arm span is still the same arm span.

Static data testing is lonely, with little attention.

But when Xue Ding was conducting a dynamic data test.

Xue Ding began to attract some attention.
