NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

The next day, Zhang Jinshui slept until 11 o'clock.

After he got up from the bed and stretched, he felt full of strength all over his body. Apparently, twelve hours of sleep had wiped away the exhaustion accumulated from two days of intensive training.

After washing his face with cold water, Zhang Jinshui looked at his energetic self in the mirror and felt full of fighting spirit.

"Zhang Jinshui, come on!" He waved his fist hard at the mirror.

Zi Chunlin has prepared a sumptuous brunch for Zhang Jinshui through room service, including two scrambled eggs with butter, a black pepper steak, various Italian sausages and a variety of vegetable salads.

Zhang Jinshui gobbled all the food into his stomach, and poured another cup of hot milk.

Then, he changed his clothes, and with Zhao Miner, Chen Fei and others, they arrived at the Rockets training base in Zi Chunlin's car.

The rocket training base is right next to the Toyota Center. It covers a small area, including an open-air parking lot surrounded by fences and a red five-story building.

At the gate of the base, several Rockets staff members were already waiting there. The leading man was about 50 years old, tall, gray-haired, and wearing a neat suit.

"Hi, Zhang Jinshui, I'm Dawson."

When Zhang Jinshui got off the car, the man greeted him enthusiastically.

Zhang Jinshui never expected that it was Dawson, the general manager of the Rockets, who greeted him.

Zhang Jinshui was full of admiration for the legendary manager who overcame all opinions and selected Yao Ming with the No. nice to meet you."

Dawson greeted with a smile: "It's only a day after the joint trial training, and it's a bit too hasty to invite you to Houston for a trial training. If there is anything in our itinerary for the past few days, I hope you can forgive me. "

"Your arrangements have been very thoughtful." Zhang Jinshui admired sincerely, and said half-jokingly:

"Especially the training venue that you arranged, it is very good. I have been training in that venue for two days, which is very helpful to me. I think I will have a good performance today."

"Hahaha, that's good, now I look forward to your performance in the trial training even more." Dawson laughed heartily.

Originally, in Zhang Jinshui's expectation, the Rockets would start trial training immediately after meeting and greeting.

However, Dawson did not do this. Instead, he first took them to visit the Rockets' training base, including basketball courts, fitness facilities, physical therapy equipment and the team's honor room, and took them into the Toyota Center to see the Rockets players' changing clothes. room.

Entering the Rockets home locker room, this move not only excited Zhang Jinshui, but also two Rockets fans, Zhao Miner and Chen Fei.

In the locker room, Dawson seemed to know what Zhang Jinshui was most concerned about, pointing to the middle wardrobe and said:

"This is Yao Ming's closet, and McGrady's is on the right. Our players disbanded after the last playoff game against the Mavericks, and Yao Ming also returned to Huaguo.

But after he knew that you were coming to us for a trial training, he cared about you very much. He asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, and hoped that when he came back to Houston, he could fight side by side with you. "

I have to admit that the entire arrangement of the Rockets before the trial training is very humane, at least to a certain extent, it conceals the cruelty of the trial training with the ultimate goal of survival of the fittest.

However, what should come, will come after all.

After returning to the training base again, Dawson took Zhang Jinshui straight to the basketball court on the first floor of the red building.

The venue was empty when I visited just now, but there are already more than ten staff members. Zhang Jinshui also saw Van Gundy with a shiny head on the other side of the venue.

Van Gundy didn't come over, but just nodded his head from a distance, as a greeting.

Dawson helped Van Gundy explain: "Coach Van Gundy will be the main observer of this trial training. He thinks it would be better to come and meet after the trial training."

"Understood, I have always admired Coach Van Gundy's rigorous work attitude." Zhang Jinshui said.

At this time, two staff members greeted them.

Knowing that the trial training was about to start, Zhang Jinshui took off his loose coat, nodded with Zi Chunlin and Zhao Miner, and followed the staff onto the court.

Dawson called another staff member and brought Zi Chunlin, Zhao Miner and others to the stands, while he himself walked to Van Gundy with old Hughes.

The staff of the Rockets first helped Zhang Jinshui conduct static and dynamic physical tests.

Zhang Jinshui has done these tests twice during the joint trial training, and he is very familiar with the road.

Half an hour later, his physical measurement data turned into a piece of paper and came to Van Gundy and Dawson.

"There is no difference from the joint training data." Dawson looked at the data on the paper and asked, "Next, where do you plan to start?"

"Test three-pointers first. Judging from that confrontation, this Huaguo boy is best at three-pointers. The test results of the joint trial training should be distorted. I have to see the true quality of his three-pointers first." Van Gundy He folded his hands on his chest and said.

"For some reason, I'm suddenly worried." Dawson laughed.

"Then pray for this kid, if his three-point shooting percentage is still only 30%, we can only think that his performance in the test match is just an occasional super performance, then the next trial training will be meaningless It's gone," Van Gundy said deadpan.

On the court, the Rockets' staff quickly opened up their battles.

The difference from the joint trial training is that the Rockets did not prepare a shelf for basketball, and the ball Zhang Jinshui wanted to shoot would be passed directly to him by the staff.

This difference has no effect on Zhang Jinshui. In fact, the Rockets arranged for the three-point test first, which is also within his expectation.

After all, after the messy joint trial training, I can still arouse the interest of other teams, relying on the three-point shooting in the match.

With a whistle, the test begins.

Zhang Jinshui caught the ball in the right corner, stepped on the thick green, leaped high, and threw the ball.

After landing, catch the ball again, jump up again, and throw again...and so on five times.

"Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!"

All five three-pointers hit the net hollowly, and the five sounds of basketball hitting the net were heard one by one, echoing over the court.

The stadium, which was still whispering to each other, immediately fell silent, and the eyes of all the people on the scene were attracted to Zhang Jinshui.

These 5 three-pointers were so smooth!

Zhang Jinshui continued to run to the right at a 45-degree angle.

"Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!" Another 4 shots were scored in a row, and the fifth shot hit the inner edge of the basket and popped out regrettably.

However, Zhang Jinshui was not affected at all. When he came to the top of the arc, he made 5 of 5 shots again.

接下来的左边斜45度角和底角，张金水再次分别投出了5中4和5中5。

In the end, in just over 1 minute, Zhang Jinshui quickly completed 25 shots and achieved a super high hit rate of 23 hits.

25 out of 23, this hit rate is crazy enough!

I don't know which staff member who was stunned applauded Zhang Jinshui first, and other people on the scene also applauded Zhang Jinshui.

Zhao Min'er in the stands jumped up excitedly, she was embarrassed to shout out, but kept waving to Zhang Jinshui while applauding.

Zhang Jinshui's expression was quite calm, after all, everything was within his expectations.

He took a few breaths, wiped his sweat, smiled and waved to Zhao Min'er.

On the other side, Dawson clapped his hands and said to Van Gundy excitedly: "25 out of 23, my God, Van Gundy, I think we may have picked up a treasure."
