MTL - NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal-Chapter 36 Pioneer's Troubles
After a short courtesan, the process of going has finally begun.
However, in order to maintain confidentiality, the management of the Blazers specially waited until the players who were on trial training were over and took them to another venue before letting Wang Zelin conduct trial training alone.
"Let me see what you are capable of."
Lillard, who had been promised the sixth overall pick by the Blazers and was vaguely regarded as his own by the team's management, was able to stay and watch the trial process.
The first project to be carried out is the measurement of the player's physical data, including the measurement of the height of the bare foot, the height of the arm span with shoes, and the size of the palm of the hand.
This project is relatively easy, Wang Zelin just needs to pose as required, and then let the female recorder in front of him play with it.
Soon, the results of the first project came out.
Naked height 216cm, wearing shoes 219cm, arms span 231cm, standing touch height 287cm, weight 130kg, body fat ratio 8.7%...
God, are you sure the guy in front of me isn't Shaquille O'Neal?
Terry Stotts and his teaching assistants fell into deep thought while looking at the report in front of them.
For basketball players, both inside and outside players, the wingspan is extremely important.
Take Anthony Davis, the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, for example, his wingspan is 2.27cm, and Wang Zelin's wingspan actually surpasses him.
However, Anthony Davis is 8cm shorter than Wang Zelin, which highlights his outstanding talent.
But don't forget that the athlete in front of him is Asian.
First of all, let me state that this is by no means a racist theory, but a real fact. Generally speaking, the wingspan of the yellow race is shorter than that of the black race and the white race.
Yao Ming, the No. 1 player in the Celestial Men's Basketball Team and once the No. 1 center in the NBA West, is a typical short-handed monster. He is 229cm tall but has a 221cm wingspan.
From Wang Zelin's amazing wingspan, the Blazers management can believe that he has a huge defensive talent.
Just relying on this physical quality and through acquired practice, Wang Zelin's defensive ability will definitely be improved.
It seems that the general defensive shortcomings in the scouting report can be crossed out.
Then, it was time to test your running and jumping ability.
12.85 in 100m, 64cm vertical jump, 70cm run-up jump...
The talent that Wang Zelin showed this time is far less amazing than the first project.
However, in the eyes of Torristts and others, it would appear to be much more normal.
After all, it can't even be comparable to a shark's athletic ability because its body shape is more like a juvenile shark.
You must know that the big shark at his peak was the man who dominated the direction of the league. His running and jumping ability had nothing to do with his static talent.
Still, such talent is surprising enough in an Asian-American athlete.
Generally, a big center who is over 2.10 meters tall is difficult to have such a high bounce and speed. Otherwise, there will be no defenders in the basketball game. It is enough to play with 5 long people.
Wang Zelin's 70-meter run-up jump is already quite good when placed in the center forward position.
Moreover, 12.85 in the 100m is not too slow for a big center. Compared to Yao Ming's 14s in the 100m, how could Wang Zelin give such a slow evaluation?
It seems that the professionalism of the previous scout needs to be considered.
Terry Stotts shook his head in dissatisfaction.
This time, the Blazers management directly threw this unreliable scouting report aside.
"Wow, King's physical talent is probably much stronger than Yao and Yi at the beginning. This is just crazy!" Nell Olsey, the general manager of the team who was silently observing for a long time, faintly felt that the team wanted to earned.
The talent shown by the young man in front of him, in such a young draft age, is enough to hit the top five or even the top three draft picks.
Apart from Anthony Davis, he doesn't think there is anyone in this class whose physical talent is comparable to that of Wang Zelin in front of him.
No, I have to report Paul quickly, we must keep this big man, he is very likely to be an important hope for the rise of the team.
Just when the management of the Blazers was caught up in the infinite imaginings of the future, Wang Zelin's trial training has reached the final bench press project.
"King, what you are going to do now is the standard bench press of 185 pounds for NBA rookies, do you need to rest for a while?" the female recorder in charge of recording the data asked softly.
"No, let's continue!"
Wang Zelin shook his head and refused to rest.
Now he is also very curious to know to what extent the lower body strength of 92 and the upper body strength of 88 can make his bench press reach.
Yes, it has been more than nine months since the twilight O'Neal was drawn, and Wang Zelin has finally completely inherited all the abilities of this Purple Diamond Superstar Card.
Strength is definitely the core attribute of an inside player, there is no such thing as one.
Now, he can't wait to know where his upper limit of power is.
"Zelin, come on!"
Zhou Yang, who had been watching the changes in the management of the Blazers, was already very excited.
It seems that Zelin's talent has made the Blazers very excited, and if they work hard, maybe the 11th pick in the first round will be his.
"rest assured!"
Wang Zelin replied with an OK gesture.
"1"
"2"
"3"
"4"
"5!"
The voice of the recorder reporting the number gradually increased as Wang Zelin bench presses one after another.
Nell Orsey and Coach Terry Stotts, who were watching, suddenly looked at each other, and a voice sounded in their hearts at the same time.
Never let this young man leave Portland like this!
When the recorder counted to 17, the audience who witnessed the birth of this scene with their own eyes shouted "Unbelievable!"
In the end, Wang Zelin's 185-pound (84kg) bench press was fixed at 23.
In the 2010 draft player physical test rankings, Wang Zelin achieved the first height, the first standing touch, the first bench press, and the first palm size.
Looking at this talented young man in front of him, Nel Orsey suddenly had an urge to win him with the sixth pick.
But he thought of Damien Lillard who had just finished his trial training before Wang Zelin arrived.
As a rare but senior rookie in today's impetuous league, Lillard is very similar to his predecessors Tim Duncan and Robrandon Roy. He can almost be said to be seamless and adaptable in the NBA. And the combat power is extremely amazing.
Among the players in this draft, Lillard, who is 188 in height naked and 191 in height in shoes, is also quite talented.
The arm span is 2 meters 02 cm, the standing touch height is 242 cm, the weight is 84 kg, and the body fat is 5.9%.
In addition, he also has a very dazzling 84cm in-situ jump, ranking second among the players in the draft; the maximum jump is 100cm, ranking seventh; 13 times of 185-pound bench press, ranking second among guards name.
The most important thing is that in Lillard, the management of the Blazers saw the shadow of Roy back then.
Young and old!
Big heart!
Strong desire to win!
Senior year graduates!
This series of labels are all reminiscent of Brandon Roy, the second point guard in the West.
Therefore, after Lillard's trial training, the Blazers management has basically made up their minds to sign the young guard with the sixth pick~www.novelbuddy.com~ But now they have killed a Wang Zelin and let Ben The results, which have settled down, are in suspense again.
The Trail Blazers had two first-round picks this season: the sixth and the eleventh.
The original plan was to sign Lillard with the sixth pick, and then use the eleventh pick to sign a defensive power center, so that the team boss Aldridge's offensive firepower could be fully released.
Aldridge has complained more than once: He really doesn't want to be pushed to the 5 again.
Now there are players who can make up for the shortcomings of the team's inner fifth position, but they seem to be better than they imagined.
The talents displayed by Lillard and Wang Zelin are causing the Blazers management to feel particularly distressed right now.
If it is the later small ball era, the Blazers will naturally choose Lillard to strengthen the outside line without hesitation under the premise of having Aldridge, but the problem is that the center has not yet experienced a fundamental decline in status. Not completely reduced to a tool man.
Today, there are still many teams who spare no effort to find an excellent young center as the cornerstone of their team building.
"That... In my opinion, it's better to divide King and Damien into two teams, arrange a confrontation training, and then take a look at their actual combat capabilities."
David Vanderpool, who had been a younger brother for a long time, quietly raised his right hand and put forward his own suggestion.
"What do you think...how do you think?"
When everyone's attention was focused on David Vanderpool, the young assistant was a little flustered.
"Good idea, just follow your arrangement."
General Manager Olsey came over and patted Vanderpool on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
