Chapter 52 Training camp before the draft!
Aside from Cooper's utterly unabashed praise,

Scouting reports made by other NBA scouts on Duke have said one thing or another.

"When he's talented, he can do anything! But he's inconsistent!" - Trail Blazers scouting report.

"He's extremely competitive, which is both a strength and a weakness." -- Golden State Warriors scouting report.

"He is a scoring machine on the court, but he likes to be a personal hero, which is not conducive to unity." - Jazz scout report.

"..."

Waves of scouting reports were delivered to NBA teams,

As a result, Du Qi was seen by various NBA teams like a fog, with mixed impressions.

……

Du Qi didn't pay too much attention to the evaluation of the outside world, he knew exactly what he was going to do next.

It is to attract phoenixes to build nests,

be oneself!

In addition to studying cultural courses and daily practice in the basketball club, every day is 2000 self-disciplined shots.

Watched a Rockets VS Jazz playoff game live with Cam.

This NBA playoffs,
Although the Rockets have a Yao-Mike combination and have a tiebreaker with the Jazz,

But bad luck after all,
In the end, they lost the playoffs 3-4 and missed the championship trophy.

two months later.

The NBA's Western Conference champion Spurs played against the Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers,
The Spurs are strong. Under the leadership of Tim Duncan, they crushed the Eastern Cavaliers with a 4-0 record and won the NBA championship this season!
At this time,
The NBA Draft is finally about to begin!

Before this,

May lottery draw,
The Trail Blazers got the No. [-] pick, the SuperSonics (now the Thunder) got the No. [-] pick, and the Eagles got the No. [-] pick...

The so-called No. [-] pick refers to the signing of the first pick in the first round of the NBA draft, and the second pick and the rest are the same.

The NBA draft is divided into two rounds each year.

The current rule is that the top draft picks belong to the 14 teams that did not enter the playoffs that year. Playoff teams.The team with the worst regular-season record goes first, while the team with the best regular-season record goes last.

……

Before the start of the draft,

The NBA will set up a training camp for the registered players, and the registered players can show their abilities to the NBA teams.

This training camp is a five-day joint tryout,
The content of the trial training includes static tests (static data of height and weight), dynamic tests (dynamic data such as bench press and bounce), shooting tests, and various confrontational and non-confrontational tests.

These five days are equivalent to the "interview" of the NBA.

Du Qi and Cam are naturally in the "interview".

Duke's height and weight ranks last.Cam is medium.

Du Qi is also at an average level in terms of bench press jumping and other statistics, but Cam is very good at it, and the bench press data ranks fifth!Bounce data came in third!

When it came time for the shooting test,
Du Qi's talent finally showed, especially the shooting from outside the three-point line. Du Qi made 25 of 15 shots, a 60% hit rate!

But the ranking is not the first, only the third!

Cam's stats are mediocre.

As for adversarial and non-adversarial tests,

Du Qi's performance made the NBA staff a little bit puzzled.Cam was superb, especially against the paint.

……

quickly,

The five-day training camp test is over.At the end of the day, Duke and Cam took a look at the data of the most popular Oden and Durant-their combined data is one of the best.

On the other hand, the NCAA championship winners,

The comprehensive data is somewhat unreliable.

While Duke and Cam were looking at other people's data, others were also looking at theirs.

Because after the NCAA World War I, Duke and Cam became the focus of everyone's eyes!
"The two aces of Purdue University, the statistics are not very good. The center Cam is not bad, barely ranked in the upper middle, but this Du, the statistics are probably not selected for the NBA, right? The shooting percentage is slightly inferior. People look forward to it."

"Hahaha, I'm just curious, how did he manage to defeat Emperor Alden with such statistics?"

"Maybe it's shit luck?"

"Ha ha……"

These voices reached Duke and Cam's ears.

Du Qi was furious,

Cam responded directly:

"Aren't you convinced? If you don't agree, you can fight us one-on-one."

Cam's violent temper made the opponent explode, and he decided to fight one-on-one.

Cam kept an eye out,
I took a peek at the test data of the person who agreed to fight, and he ranked third overall!

Nima, second only to Oden and Durant!

His name is Al Horford.

This made Cam feel a little guilty, knowing that his comprehensive ranking is only in the middle!

But Cam will never lose his momentum, and glared at the other party:
"One-on-one, right? Very good, I admire a man like you, then let our ace Du play with you one-on-one!"

"I???"

Du Qi didn't expect that Heitan would change the subject so quickly and stab himself out.

"Du, I'm optimistic about you. If you lose, it won't be too late for me to help you get back in the game." Cam showed his trademark white teeth and smiled.

"..."

Du Qi was speechless, but he didn't flinch.

And Al Horford came to the basket and had a one-on-one contest!

Du Qi directly started "Limboweibu", defending Al Horford so that he couldn't break through.
He even steals the ball very quickly.

Dookie dribbles through,

shake it down,
Then put the ball into the basket with a three-step layup.

One-on-one, Du Qi wins!

"Who is next (who is next)?" Cam showed a proud little look.

"hateful!"

Al Horford's face was dull and he gritted his teeth angrily.

Cam was cool.

Relying on Du Qi's talent, he began to amplify his words:
"Don't say it's you, even Emperor Oden is no match for our ace Du. You watched the NCAA finals for nothing, right?"

"hateful……"

"show off!"

"Why is this guy so pissed off??"

so soon,

Someone came forward to challenge Du Qi again.

at the same time,

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came to the training camp, and Du Qi happened to see the one-on-one confrontation between these people.

originally.

He just had nothing to do, and he had nothing to do to watch the competition between the young people.

but.

When he saw Du Qi's beautiful and picturesque footwork, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking the NBA staff around him:
"Hi, what's the boy's name?"

"Mr. D'Antoni, his name is Du, he is the ace player of this year's NCAA championship team."

"Oh?"

Mike D'Antoni focused on NBA coaching and didn't pay much attention to NCAA games, but he still heard about this year's NCAA, and an Asian kid led the team to win the championship!

"It turned out to be him."

Mike D'Antoni smiled and continued to watch Dookie's feistiness and his fantastic footwork.
