Chapter 454: Participate in trial training, what kind of monster is this?

"Xiao Wang, are you kidding?"

Wang Xu on the side was also a little surprised.

Because of Wang Feng and Wang Xiao, he recently took the time to learn about the NBA. The more he learned about it, the clearer he became about how difficult it is to join the NBA and play.

Wang Feng actually got the NBA trial qualification, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do easily.

Wang Xu said immediately.

"You said you were going to have a trial training tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Stop working so hard and go have a good rest. Don't let things in the store delay your trial training."

"It's okay." Wang Feng smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't affect me, and if nothing unexpected happens, my chance to help you will only be these two days. I really appreciate you helping me when I was in the most difficult time.

Don’t worry, when I sign a contract with an NBA team and make money, I will definitely repay you.”

"What are you talking about?" Wang Xu stared. "Bad boy, do you think I helped you in the hope that you would benefit me in the future when you become successful? I did it because we are all compatriots in China.

When you are overseas, everyone should help each other. Besides, you have also helped me a lot in the store during this time. What will you do if I ask you for money again? "

"Okay, I understand." Wang Feng could only reply with a wry smile. "Well, if I really join the Knicks, as long as I am still with the Knicks, I will take care of all your tickets to watch the game at Madison Square Garden."

"Okay!" Wang Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

For him who loves the NBA, it has always been his dream to watch NBA stars play up close. However, due to family financial conditions, he has not watched an NBA game live so far.

…

Knicks, in the assistant coach's office.

Jeff Van Gundy looked at him with an excited expression on his face and told him eloquently about what he saw and heard about Larry in Rucker Park today.

"I understand, you have officially invited him to come to the team for a trial training, and will it be held early tomorrow morning?"

He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. Although Van Gundy trusted Larry, what he said was too exaggerated.

"Larry, before informing the head coach, I still want to confirm with you. Are you sure that the Asian named Wang Feng is really as powerful as you say?"

"To be precise, they are Chinese." Larry corrected.

After a brief exchange with Wang Feng, he already knew a lot of information about Wang Feng.

"Chinese?" Van Gundy recalled carefully. He didn't remember much information about Chinese basketball. It seemed that NBA President Stern had visited China a few years ago and wanted to promote the NBA there.

, but the effect does not seem to be very good. When all the game broadcast tapes are provided to the opponent for free, it seems to be barely motivating.

Can a country with such a low basketball standard really produce basketball talents?

Moreover, Larry's description was too exaggerated in Van Gundy's opinion. He felt that Larry was not describing an amateur player who had never played in the NBA, but the league's top small forward Scottie Pippen.

If Wang Feng is really that good, why didn't he enter the NBA earlier?

"Jeff! You must believe me, we must not miss Wang Feng. This is a rare opportunity. Wang Feng's appearance is very likely to become the Knicks' hope of winning this year!"

Larry seemed very excited. As a veteran scout for decades, nothing made him feel more excited and excited than being able to unearth such a diamond in the street court.

This is not surprising. Although Wang Feng was engaged in 1v1 bullfighting on the street court, the skills he displayed were all standard NBA moves.

Whether it's defense, outside three-pointers, or ball-handling breakthroughs, these are all skills that can be directly applied to the NBA. They are completely different from the way ordinary streetball masters play.

As a professional NBA scout, Larry can certainly see it, which is the main reason why he is so excited.

How strong Wang Feng really is may need to be confirmed on the NBA court, but he can definitely be regarded as an immediate player. He does not need to take a period of time to adapt to the NBA and the NBA like a rookie who has just been drafted into the NBA.

A completely different style of play in the NCAA.

"Okay, I will arrange a trial training for him, but don't have high hopes. If this Chinese named Wang Feng is not qualified, I will not report to the head coach."

A small trial training does not need to alarm the head coach at all.

Larry also understood that in his opinion, it didn't matter. As long as Wang Feng could participate in the trial training, he would definitely be a blockbuster with his abilities.

"Right."

Van Gundy suddenly thought of something. "How old is this Wang Feng?"

Larry paused.

After a long pause, he said with a slightly uncertain tone.

"I forgot to ask this. He looks about 26 years old."

Larry lied.

Although Wang Feng does not look old and is even somewhat handsome, the difference in appearance and temperament between those in his early 20s and 30s can still be seen, especially since Larry and Wang Feng had a brief conversation.

Look, Larry feels that Wang Feng is at least 28 years old.

But as a scout, he knew very well what this age meant. In order to allow Wang Feng to leave a good impression on the team as much as possible, he deliberately made Wang Feng's age a little younger.

In the NBA, it is not uncommon to falsely report your age. Many players deliberately tell their age to be younger in order to make their age a bonus.

The future UAE is the most typical case.

If possible, Larry wanted to say that Wang Feng was only 24 years old, but he was so excited yesterday that he forgot to confess to Wang Feng. He was a little worried that Wang Feng would spill the beans and put him in a disadvantageous situation of deceiving the team, so he did not dare to say too much.

An exaggerated, conservative report of around 26 years old.

However, even so, Van Gundy still frowned.

"Are you already that old? Your plasticity is very low..."

"It's okay." Larry quickly remedied: "I've seen him play, and his skills are already very perfect and very suitable for the rhythm of NBA games. There is no need for any adaptation and training process, so age is not a problem."

"Whether it is a problem or not depends on the results of the trial training tomorrow." Van Gundy shook his head and said.

No matter how good Larry said Wang Feng was, Van Gundy never paid attention to it from beginning to end. He had no hope at all for this Chinese player who suddenly appeared.

…

The next day, early morning.

Wang Feng got up early and did some simple warm-up training such as morning running to adjust his condition to the best. Then he took his equipment and took the subway to the Knicks team.

Since he did not have a mobile phone, Wang Feng called Larry in advance in the store and made an appointment.

So when Wang Feng came to the team, Larry was already waiting for him outside the arena.

"Wang Feng."

As soon as he saw Wang Feng, Larry couldn't wait to ask. "I forgot to ask your age yesterday. How old are you this year? Twenty-seven or eighty-eight?"

"Well...it will be my 30th birthday in three or four months."

Wang Feng did not hide anything and truthfully reported his true age.

His second time travel, unlike his first time travel, was not that his soul traveled through parallel time and space, but that he traveled to 1994 with a body that had been strengthened to an overall rating of 99.

Wang Feng, who was born in November 1992, traveled through time at the end of June 2022, so his 30th birthday is not far away.

"Three...thirty years old?"

Larry's eyes widened in shock.

The situation was much worse than he imagined!

I originally thought that Wang Feng would be in his mid-twenties, but I didn't expect that this guy is already 30!

This means that Wang Feng's peak period is about to pass, and in three or four years at most, he will enter a period of decline.

For a moment, Larry was speechless.

Of course Wang Feng understands this truth, but he has no reason to lie in this regard, and there is no need.

Does age matter?

It is very important for a rookie with strong plasticity, but it is meaningless to him.

In other words, when the strength reaches a certain level, this age difference is irrelevant.

Wang Feng has absolute self-confidence. As long as he is given a stage to show off, he can conquer everyone, no matter how picky the other party is.

This confidence comes from his confidence in his own strength, from his 99 overall rating and multiple top badges.

"You... try to avoid mentioning your age for a while. If someone asks, tell your age as low as possible." Larry came back to his senses and said with some difficulty: "You must know that age

It will be an important restriction for you to enter the NBA."

"Yes, I understand." Wang Feng nodded slightly, noncommittal.

Larry led Wang Feng into the Knicks training facility.

The Knicks have an away game today, and most of the players and coaching staff have already flown to the away game.

But there are still some members of the coaching staff left in the arena to take charge of the team's daily work.

Jeff Van Gundy is one of the remaining assistant coaches. As one of head coach Pat Riley's right-hand men, Jeff Van Gundy is the most powerful one in the training facility today.

"Larry, is that him?"

Looking at Wang Feng brought in by Larry, Jeff Van Gundy nodded slightly.

After a cursory glance, Wang Feng was quite satisfied with his height and body shape.

Van Gundy, who studied under Pat Riley, is also a representative figure of the Iron-blooded faction in the 1990s. He likes to hoard inside players and attack deep inside the basket.

Whether it is the Knicks under his guidance or the future Rockets period when Yao gained weight, they are all full of this type of style.

Although Wang Feng, who is 2.01 meters tall, is an outside player, his weight of 105 kilograms makes Wang Feng look very strong. It is exactly the dark and tough style that Van Gundy likes...although not that dark.

Wang Feng's first impression on Van Gundy was pretty good, but the actual situation requires professional testing to know.

"George, take him for a physical test. I need detailed data for reference."

Jeff Van Gundy waved and found an arena training staff member and gave instructions.

"Come on, remember to go all out, this is a rare opportunity for you."

Larry whispered to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng nodded slightly, he understood without Larry having to tell him.

In this trial, he will go all out without reservation and try to shock everyone's jaws.

…

Two hours later.

Jeff Van Gundy looked at the side data fed back by his assistant. His mouth gradually grew larger and his eyes became rounder.

"This report...did you make a mistake in writing it?"

"That's right, Jeff, I thought I made a mistake and confirmed it many times." Van Gundy's assistant also had a ghostly expression on his face, "This guy is a monster!"

yes!

Van Gundy is convinced that if there is no problem with the data in the report, then this Chinese is really a monster!

Wang Feng.

Static talent: Height 2.01 meters, weight 105 kilograms, wingspan 2.11 meters.

From the perspective of static talent, Wang Feng is average and can only be regarded as passing level.

But when the test item changes from static talent to dynamic talent, it is completely different.

The 100-meter speed test is 10 seconds 4! The 3/4 sprint is 2.9 seconds! The jump is 95 centimeters! The run-up jump is 115 centimeters!

These data stunned everyone.

Isn't this too exaggerated?

Wang Feng's dynamic talent is completely at the top level in the league, and can even be said to be the only one!

Because if we just talk about speed and jumping, there are still people in the league who can reach the level of Wang Feng now. For example, Jordan and Grant Hill, who was selected with the third overall pick this year, are at the same level as Wang Feng.

But the problem is that Wang Feng's body side events also include strength tests.

With a 185-pound (84-kilogram) barbell, Wang Feng can bench press up to 15 times! The maximum bench-press weight can reach 150 kilograms! This is already the level of an inside player!

While possessing such powerful strength, he can also maintain the speed, bounce and burst that only top guards have. This is the first one Van Gundy has seen so far.

"this……"

With his mouth open, Van Gundy was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

However, as he continued to read, more terrifying facts were revealed before his eyes.

If your vision is not limited to the NBA, there are actually many people with more terrifying physical fitness than Wang Feng, but basketball does not mean that the stronger the physical fitness, the better.

Physical fitness is only the most basic thing on the basketball court. What truly determines a player's achievement depends on his skills.

Just like Shaquille O'Neal, everyone knows that his power is so terrifying that no one in the league can stop him, but if you want to find someone stronger than O'Neal to play in the NBA, it may not work at all.

O'Neal definitely doesn't just rely on strength to get around the game. His inside steps are very flexible, and his hook skills are among the best in the league. Even when he is off the court, O'Neal can show off a beautiful crossover.

Behind Wang Feng's physical test report are basketball-related reports.

The test assistant tried his best to use practical and concise words to give his evaluation, but when Van Gundy looked at the evaluation in the report, he still couldn't help but have the idea of ​​what kind of monster this is.
