50. The most authentic trial training process

Zhang Hao was taken to a physical test by the Lakers assistant coach.

Seeing Zhang Hao being taken away and watching the logo man leave with the young master, Silver Fox Harris and Kupchek were both puzzled.

Originally, the interview should have been held by the two of them and the scout manager, but the logo man actually came.

Because generally speaking, they will screen and let the general manager see the trial performance of the rookies they like.

Come here, come here, and completely led the interview. Without asking any questions that should have been asked, the logo man decided the result of the interview alone and directly gave Zhang Hao the opportunity to conduct a follow-up trial training alone.

However, neither of them had any objections. In this team, except for Jerry Bass, the boss and other management personnel, Jenny Bass, the most capable of checking and balancing the logo man in terms of power.

But Jenny Bass only loves to fight for power, but will not affect the operation of the logo male player. Jenny Bass is only responsible for business matters, and professional matters are left to professionals to complete.

So in terms of drafts, if there are people who choose the logo, even Jenny Bass will not question it. So although they are puzzled, they did not interrupt. Even if they have any doubts, they will wait until they ask in private.

Also, Zhang Hao is very energetic! This makes Silver Fox Harris quite admired.

Zhang Hao first measured his height, weight, arm span and other aspects, and then warmed up with the help of the trainer... an extremely complicated warm-up!

It took Zhang Hao a full hour to warm up!

He never thought that the warm-up needs could be complicated and refined to this extent. In his opinion, the warm-up guidance at Adidas Training Camp was already very professional, but the NBA team allowed him to see what a real professionalism is.

After adjusting the physical condition, a test of exercise ability was performed.

Kupchek came to the training ground when Zhang Hao's physical test was about to end and immediately obtained Zhang Hao's physical test data.

Through physical test data, Kupuchek can see that Zhang Hao has excellent physical fitness, his speed is at the same height, his jumping level is top, his strength is weak, but he doesn't matter if he is only 18 years old, his explosive power is not bad, but he can't say it's very good. His starting speed without confrontation is pretty good...

In addition to running and jumping skills, in other aspects, the Asian basketball players Zhang Hao and Kupchek remember are not very different. In total, they are also first-class compared to black basketball players.

At first, Zhang Hao was attracted by coach Scott Collins because of his athletic talent. He participated in the dunk contest to show this talent to the NCAA team, but he didn't expect that he was attracted by the LOGO man in the end.

However, if this is the case, Zhang Hao would not be so outstanding and would not be attracted by the logo man. The most important thing players participating in the draft is a man of physical fitness. Perhaps Zhang Hao's physical fitness is very excellent, which makes him look good by the NBA team. However, in this era when high school rookies are regarded as unreliable, this is not enough.

The next technical test of Zhang Hao...is mainly a mid-range shooting test, which attracted a lot of people from the Lakers.

How accurate is the legendary "high school student's central investment king"?

Soon, they knew.

Five positions have fixed-point free throw line distance, Zhang Hao has three points to make all the shots, and the middle distance between the bottom line on the left and bottom line on the right are 9 and 7 respectively!

46 out of 50!

In 5 groups, 10 runs in each group, Zhang Hao scored a total of 42 shots!

...

The trial ended faster than Zhang Hao imagined. The other party had to examine him more than he thought, and it was to test his strengths.

There are many tests on athletic ability and central shooting.

Three-pointers, layups, breaking through with the ball, passing the ball, etc., are relatively simple, and the end of the set.

Since Zhang Hao did not regard the Lakers as his first choice, he was very relaxed during the trial training, and his shooting performance was more stable than expected.

Then, Zhang Hao was told that the trial was over...

Zhang Hao found two friends who were watching the finals of the Lakers' defeat against the Celtics in 1987 in the rest area of ​​the arena. They did not expect Zhang Hao to finish the trial so soon.

Pierce immediately asked, "Aix, how is the situation?"

Pierce and April Clark both hope that Zhang Hao can be selected by the Lakers, and most California basketball fans like the Lakers.

"have no idea."

The trial process was simpler than Zhang Hao thought, and he really didn't know if the other party really liked him.

Zhang Hao was confused at first, but after a while he figured it out, how could he get the draft promise of a team so easily?

We arrived at the stadium at 8 o'clock in the morning and ended the trial at 11 o'clock. The young people couldn't analyze anything, mainly Pierce and April Clark, and asked them to help with physical work such as searching for information. They had no problem. If they had to analyze things, they would be useless.

Zhang Hao has never experienced it, so he can only guess it casually.

However, although the trial process was different from what was expected and was not as comprehensive as the Adidas training camp test, it had no effect on Zhang Hao. He felt that the Lakers probably did not pay attention to him, but just went through the motions.

On the second day, when the Clippers tried, Pierce and April Clark did not go...

Yesterday, Zhang Hao felt that the Lakers' trial training was quite "perfunctory". Then it was only after the Clippers' trial training that Zhang Hao truly understood what perfunctory means.

Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor, Zhang Hao originally wanted to see the most unlucky superstar in NBA history, but he didn't see anyone.

The interview was very casual. In terms of trial training, he was also arranged to play 3-on-3 with five players who came to try this morning. As a result, two old Hei, who were assigned to the same team as him, kept playing with the ball himself, and he didn't even touch the ball twice.

After the 3-on-3 game, no one cared about Zhang Hao. He walked around the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium and saw many people watching a player's training in another training ground. Zhang Hao knew that the 20-year-old North Carolina genius and No. 1 pick Jerry Starkhouse.

The Clippers have two draft picks this year, one with the second pick in the first round and the other with the 53 pick in the second round.

The Clippers, who are full of talented rookies, don’t care at all about the second round picks in that position. Not to mention second round picks, the rookies selected in the lottery area may not be taken seriously, because they have lotto rookies every year.

That is, the second-hand pick can make the Clippers get serious and choose the second round picks, and the trial training is not considered important.

...

The popularity always comes and goes quickly. As O'Neal and Olajuwon meet in the finals, the fans' attention has been focused on them, and the popularity of rookies like Zhang Hao has begun to decrease.

It is true that there is nothing to say about the trial training. If each team has the goal to choose and finds players who have average performance in college but are actually very talented, they will not be able to say anything everywhere, and maybe there will be the teams in front of them intercepting the slap.

On Zhang Hao's side, after the trial training of the two teams in Los Angeles, they were all training in school from June 1 to 3. On June 4, they came to Texas, and participated in the trial training of the Mavericks and Spurs on June 5 and June 7.

Originally, Zhang Hao thought that the trial training with the Lakers was a normal trial, and the trial training with the Clippers was a rather strange situation. However, when participating in the trial training between the Mavericks and the Spurs, Zhang Hao realized that the trial training like the Clippers was the norm, and the opportunity to conduct a separate test like the Lakers was a special case.

After one trial after another, Zhang Hao finally truly felt the confusion and confusion of the rookie running for.

I could only endure the anxiety and participated in the trial training one after another. On June 8, Zhang Hao came to Philadelphia, and participated in the trial training of the 76ers on the 9th and 10th.

Finally, I had another chance to try alone, and after the first day of trial, I was called to conduct an almost identical test the next day.

Just when Zhang Hao thought the other party was fond of him, the other party informed him that the trial was over...

Zhang Hao was a little numb next. On June 13, he participated in the Pistons' trial in Detroit, on June 17, in Seattle, and on June 22, he participated in the Suns' trial in Phoenix...

During this period, Zhang Hao saw many geniuses, some running faster than him, some shooting wider than him, and some jumping higher than him... During his trial training, most teams did not give any special treatment, and he was one of the ordinary trial training troops.

Even he was not even treated as a lot of ordinary players, like when he went to the Pistons to try out, he didn't even see the opponent's assistant coach.

Most of the reason is that he ran directly after graduating from high school.

In these days, high school students are always questioned when participating in the draft because they have never even played against college students. Next year, O'Neal Jr. is averaging 22 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks in more than 100 games in high school, and almost failed to enter the first round.

At this time, Zhang Hao really regretted it. If he entered college, he would definitely be a striking figure in the school through his previous performances in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest and Adidas Training Camp.

But he doesn't seem that special when participating in the NBA draft, and he can clearly see that although some teams are curious about inviting him to participate in training camp, they actually do not pay attention to him. They may even look down on him because of his high school students participating in the draft...

This situation is very different from what Zhang Hao imagined after he was about to participate in the draft, and it created a huge sense of gap...

After participating in the draft, he thought that he was the "son of the choice" and believed that he would definitely shock the world with a grand trial.

Indeed, no matter which team he is on for trial, his CNB is the best among the same group of trial players.

But he obviously felt that most teams only use the criteria of choosing a second-round pick to see if they should choose a mid-range pitcher player like him who plays without a ball.

He also thought about anyone who had nothing to provoke, and then he slapped his face strongly... But in fact, he found that most of the rookies who tried every trial were the same as him, and they were numb to the point of trial, and they had no idea what their fate would be, and they had no idea whether they could be selected in the draft.

Compared with those popular lottery areas, top ten picks, and top picks, they are indeed not conspicuous.

Compared with the high spirits when he went out to participate in the trial training, and when he was confused and confused when he returned to his apartment in Inglewood, Zhang Hao didn't know what else to do, so he sat back in the apartment for a while. Pierce had already gone to San Diego in early June, and his brother was there, and April Clark also went to the art exam training camp. He couldn't even talk to someone.

At this time, Zhang Hao felt inconvenience again...

There are not many mobile phones these days, and landlines are not available anytime and anywhere, not to mention the convenient communication tool like WeChat.

So, Zhang Hao came to the stadium and wanted to talk to coach Scott Collins.

OK, it was only then that he realized that Coach Scott Collins had resigned...

"I'm a scattered man! I'm fooling me into the draft, but now I can't find anyone?"

Zhang Hao complained in his heart and smiled again. He was the one who made the decision. Since he had bravely taken this step, whether it was a cliff or a road to success ahead, it was his own way. Can others blame him?

However, the coach ran away, and the stadium was still the same. Zhang Hao started to practice free throw shooting. No matter what the result was, his skills could not be missed.

When he was confused for a while, the only thing he had to comfort him was training.

Originally, after the effect of the growth card ended, he felt the boredom of training, but after this wave of trial training, he got a benefit, that is, he got used to boredom, boring, at least he had a goal, and he was confused during several trial trainings, and he really felt helpless...
