0102: [Ultimate Talent Waster]

A simple test was conducted in the empty space of Li Zhen's gym. Bryant also specially cleared the space for staff and counted with a stopwatch himself.

Even though it was not tested on the court, the Black Mamba’s watch movements are definitely not as good as those of professionals.

However, the measured data still illustrates some problems.

"Your in-situ bounce height is 69 centimeters, and your run-up bounce is 89 centimeters. Among defenders... at best, it can only be said to be close to the passing line."

"The simulated four-point movement within the three-second zone took 11.9 seconds. It is also very average. This shows that your coordination, agility, explosive power and other comprehensive qualities are low."

"The 3/4 sprint takes 3.11 seconds, and the baseline return run takes 3.06 seconds. Your explosive power is average, but your speed advantage is obvious."

"In general, except for excellent speed, all other physical talents are below average. This physical test data is really not conducive to your draft prospects."

Bryant said frankly.

Um.

Li Zhen thought for a while and asked: "What if we compare it with your team's point guard?"

"Except for speed, you are at a disadvantage in every aspect. And he is the worst point guard among the 30 teams in the league." Bryant said rigorously.

Forehead….

Li Zhen was thinking, if he plays against Smashparker later, he must take advantage of the positive energy and bioelectricity to read his data. In order to compare his current... data with the worst point guard in the NBA

How much difference.

At this moment, a harsh voice came from outside: "Hey... Bob, have you prepared my fitness equipment? I'm about to play in the playoffs, don't waste my time, my big brother

Man..."

This guy was full of foul language and seemed extremely impatient.

However, when he came in and saw Bryant, his arrogance quickly subsided. Then he walked to the other side on his own, like a mouse seeing a cat.

"He is our point guard." The Black Mamba did not hide his disgust: "I don't allow him to talk to me, he is too bad."

Um...is the NBA so real?

A point guard treated the training staff with arrogance, and then the ace star directly ordered him not to talk to him?

Is the hierarchy so strict??

To be honest, Li Zhen was really a little shocked by the atmosphere of professional sports. When he was at Stanford, although there were differences in playing time and there were discords between players, he had never seen anything like this... before.

Then, the players arrived one after another. It can be clearly felt that the hierarchical treatment between ace stars, players, meritorious veterans, rotation players, substitute players, and potential rookies is completely different.

Moreover, the relationship between them is not as close as expected, and they even seem to have a numbness like work colleagues.

Moreover, when players in the same position train for the same event, there is obviously a sense of competition, and the assistant coach's competition with each other is visible to the naked eye.

Is this professional sports?

It's really completely different from college basketball.

Li Zhen did some training with a point guard named Aaron McGee throughout the whole process, which was specially instructed by Kobe Bryant.

His training tasks are basically the fewest in the team. His biggest task now is not to play on the field, but to play the role of a veteran in the locker room, bond the team, and mediate some unnecessary conflicts.

Every team needs a character like this.

During the conversation with Aaron McGee, Li Zhen learned that...it turns out that he and Kobe Bryant are from the same hometown, both from Pennsylvania, and they are also his high school seniors. No wonder the Lakers paid him to sit in the locker room. There is no one better than him. A more suitable candidate.

Before this, Li Zhen also knew something about Aaron McGee, knowing that he was once the most effective outside assistant around Iverson, known for his unpretentious defense and mature and steady rhythm of ball control. He once worked with Iverson. We reached the Finals together in 2001 and witnessed Iverson's most glorious moments.

Therefore, when Aaron McGee sat next to him and chatted cordially like a big brother, he actually felt like he was in another world: two months ago, he never dreamed that he could win the MOP. I even dare not think that one day I will be able to walk into the Lakers training facility, ask Kobe to check my watch, and chat and laugh with Aaron McGee.

Alas...it's all a historical process!

Phil Jackson arrived after the players trained for almost an hour and a half. He was not responsible for the specific training within the team.

After communicating with several assistant coaches, the players were divided into two teams.

Smash Parker, Kobe Bryant, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom, and Kwame Brown are the main lineup in light gray training uniforms.

Vujacic, Jim Jackson, Devin George, Brian Cook and Lakers baby center Andrew Bynum, who has three trainers, put on yellow vests to form the substitute lineup.

The primary responsibility of the bench is to simulate the Phoenix Suns' tactics in preparation for the upcoming playoffs.

Because I learned that Li Zhen might play in the next game.

Therefore, Aaron McGee also specially introduced the players on the bench to Li Zhen: "Shasa Vujacic, a combo guard. He has certain ability to control the ball, and some open shooting ability. He is characterized by his active play style, but The defense is not very good, he is the kind of player who works hard but is of no use..."

Um... Li Zhen didn't expect Aaron McGee to be quite good at complaining.

"That No. 24, Jim Jackson, a super veteran, a famous homeless man, a jersey tryer, mastered the tactical secrets of many teams, was a good 3D player when he was young, was reliable in three-pointers, and played good defense. He had a brilliant career in Dallas. On his resume, he formed the famous "Triple J" with Jamal Mashburn and Jason Kidd, but later they parted ways because they were jealous of each other over women."

"The ugly player's name is Devin George. He is a guard who you think is very strong, but is actually very ordinary. The advantage is that he is strong and has an amazing bounce speed. The disadvantage is that the speed is actually average. The offensive end is very weak, but the defensive end very serious."

"Brian Cook, the squishy bread pitcher."

"Andrew Bynum, the iron-blooded center who is growing up with a pacifier in his mouth!"

After Aaron McGee's hard-core introduction, Li Zhen finally understood why Kobe Bryant complained in the media every now and then. This lineup... can reach the playoffs in the Western Conference, it is indeed tough enough!

The game on the court started soon.

Bryant quickly entered arry mode. He directly dominated the training field with his personal ability, and the substitute lineup did not put any pressure on him.

And...are the substitutes playing run-and-gun?

It’s okay if they can’t run. They are hesitant to play the ball like a young man on a first date. Hesitant, he doesn’t look like he can resolve the battle in 7 seconds.

No wonder Phil Jackson was shaking his head on the sidelines.

Playing like this... it's impossible to simulate the effect of Phoenix.

Therefore, Phil Jackson stopped the game after playing for 5 minutes. He called all the players over and cursed him.

Li Zhen was here listening to the letters starting with s and f flying around. Only then did he realize that the elegant Zen master could also use swear words. Didn't he say that... he often led players to meditate?

It seems that the rumors are all lies.

Li Zhen was distracted when he suddenly heard someone shouting: Bruce!

Li Zhen raised his head, and Kobe Bryant was waving.

Li Zhen quickly stood up and walked over. The blood all over his body couldn't help but boil: Are you finally going to compete with NBA players on the same stage?

Just when all the players looked at the MVP of the NCAA Final Four, who was repeatedly praised by Bryant, with strange eyes, a positive voice suddenly appeared in Li Zhen's mind: Catch the ultimate waste of talent, let him play!!!

The ultimate waste of talent?

This is the first time I’ve seen this wording.

Who?
