explosive dribbler

Chapter 8 Magic Trials
"Oh, you are the failed kid brought by Brett?" Vogel leaned in front of An Xiaonan, carefully sized up the failed young man, patted An Xiaonan on the shoulder, and looked at his thinner body, Can't help wondering, "Brett, can this kid do it?"

Gisen patted his chest confidently: "Of course, sir, please believe my eyes. I haven't let you down yet."

An Xiaonan was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Vogel. He knew that the coaches in the NBA were all weird but possessed special skills, but he was still stared at a little hairy. Vogel seemed to have pierced his body.

"Boy, your jumping ability seems to be good. What are you good at?" Vogel said with a smile.

"Dribble, breakthrough, pass, dunk." An Xiaonan answered four words concisely.

Vogel stared at him for a while, and then shouted to a bald white man on the sidelines: "Raymond, take this kid to training, and then report all his statistics to me!"

The bald white man Lei Meng promised and came to An Xiaonan.He was even taller than An Xiaonan, and he extended his hand to An Xiaonan: "I am Raymond Anderson, the statistician of the Magic team."

"I'm An Xiaonan." An Xiaonan stretched out his hand to grasp it, "What should we do now?"

"I don't like newcomers talking nonsense. You just need to obey my orders. You can do whatever you are told to do. You have to do it if you are told to rob a bank." Raymond walked towards the half-empty space in the corner of the gymnasium. , as if he regarded An Xiaonan as air.

"Wow, Raymond is so cool. Come on, rookie, I like you!" Ji Sen put his hand on An Xiaonan's shoulder with a smile.

As a rookie among rookies, An Xiaonan could only obey the team's orders.His current status in the team can be said to be no one above ten thousand people.

Following behind Lei Meng, An Xiaonan began to observe the training players on the field, some of whom he was familiar with.

In the first field, an assistant coach is leading the team to conduct a five-on-five full-court drill. Among them, Aaron Gordon, Vucevic, and Payton Jr. are all members of the Magic team he knows.As for the others, it's very face-to-face.After all, the Magic has very few supporters in the league, and An Xiaonan rarely watches Magic games, so the sense of strangeness is still very strong.

As for the second field, the drinking fountain players are working hard to train their special skills with the assistance of trainers, with the goal of gaining the trust of the coach and entering the rotation lineup in the new season.

"Rookie, the three-point line is a circle, and you can shoot two three-pointers at each of the five points." Lei Meng threw a ball to An Xiaonan, and then shouted to a caddy who was doing nothing: "The kid over there , Come and help him pick up the ball!"

An Xiaonan dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line in the left corner, holding the ball with both hands to familiarize himself with the touch of the ball. Following the start of Raymond, An Xiaonan shot his first three-pointer in the Magic training hall.

"Swipe!" The ball went into the net in response, followed by the second ball.

Raymond observed An Xiaonan's shooting from the sidelines, and he found that the basic shooting skills of this rookie were in the upper reaches of the entire Magic team.At least his shooting percentages will be solid.

"Swipe!" "Swipe!" "Clang!"

An Xiaonan quickly completed the requirements of Lei Meng's first task. He scored seven of the ten goals, which is already a very good hit rate.

"Cadboy boy, go get five dribble posts." Raymond shouted to the caddy, who quickly took out five cone-shaped dribble posts from the equipment room and placed them in front of Raymond.

Raymond lined up the five dribble posts in a straight line, and then said to An Xiaonan: "Dribble, change directions around the posts, sprint at the fastest speed, layup. Go back and forth once, timed."

Lei Meng's words were very concise, and An Xiaonan understood what he was going to do.Holding the ball and standing in front of the first pile, he nodded to Raymond, signaling that he was ready.

Raymond snorted: "Start." The moment he said it, he pressed the stopwatch in his hand.

An Xiaonan dashed forward and came directly in front of the second pile, changed direction in front of him, controlled the rhythm, came to the third pile, stepped down to dribble, and then made a breakthrough.Breaking through five piles in a row, he easily succeeded in a three-step layup.

After the ball fell into the net, it returned to the hand accurately. An Xiaonan sprinted back and forth, did the same action again, and finally made a steady layup.

"Drip." The stopwatch in Raymond's hand also stopped, and Raymond was shocked when he saw the final result.Can't help nodding in praise, it's actually the best result in the team, that is to say, An Xiaonan's dribbling breakthrough and physical coordination during the breakthrough are unparalleled in the team.Just looking at his shooting, dribbling and physical coordination alone, he could fit into the rotation.

Seeing Lei Meng's satisfied expression, An Xiaonan knew that his first step had been successful.Being able to get the appreciation of the assistant coach is the first guarantee for his survival in the Magic.

"Beep --" a whistle sounded, and the magic players who were conducting a five-on-five tactical drill walked off the field panting.

Gordon, the flying man of magic, sat on the bench, grabbed the Gatorade beside him and drank it.Seeing An Xiaonan who was doing various tests in the distance, he asked in confusion, "Reid, why is there an Asian man on the other side?"

Reed Noelle, the tactical trainer who directed Gordon and other players to train tactics, responded: "This is this year's undrafted An Xiaonan, a rookie from China. Come to our team for a trial training period."

"An Xiaonan?" Gordon looked curiously at An Xiaonan, who seemed to have solid basic skills, "Come to our team for a trial training. What kind of results can a loser get?"

A drop of cold sweat fell from the corner of Raymond's forehead. As the test progressed, he couldn't believe that this was an undrafted pick.It can be said that it is normal for a player to have one or two outstanding skills, but this Chinese has not found any major shortcomings in the test so far.The only shortcoming is that the physical confrontation is below the team's average level, while other aspects are above the team's average level.You know, he is an undrafted pick!

How could such a result of a trial training that failed to be drafted?

impossible!

Sitting next to Gordon, Elfrid Peyton, who had a haircut as strange as an eaves, was also observing An Xiaonan who was opposite.After Gordon saw An Xiaonan hit an emergency stop jump shot, he suddenly smiled and said to Payton: "Elfrid, this rookie is in big trouble!"

Payton snorted, obviously dismissing the new draft pick: "It's just a draft pick."

"Huh..." An Xiaonan was already tired from the short 10-minute test. The intensity of the test was very high, and his physical fitness couldn't keep up...
