Who doesnt know how to cheer for a 500 straight line?
After these days of high-profile media reports and last night’s blow to Reggie Miller.
Jiang Yan is already considered a star in the old American field ball world.
Various interviews followed.
Jiang Yan also made no secret of his dream of playing in the NBA. After all, this is what he came for.
In the interview, he also said that he gave up his dream of being a police officer just to pursue his dream.
And where is the NBA?
"Where amazing happenings, where miracles are born!"
Thus, the image of a dream chaser who traveled across the ocean and a sincere young man was established.
NBA officials also heard what Jiang Yan said, so they directly gave Jiang Yan the green light and said they would fully support his entry into the NBA.
So soon several teams sent invitations.
But Jiang Yan still goes to the Pacers first.
There is no reason, just because the head coach called directly. Obviously, Reggie played a very good role.
However, it is still difficult for a basketball player to enter the NBA.
After all, the NBA is not a basketball court, and the required abilities cannot be taken carelessly.
So even if Reggie handed over the message, the team management was still interested in Chen, who came from the mysterious country in the East.
But whether we will sign him and give him a ten-day short contract still needs to be carefully examined.
Physical training is an important part of it.
Before the trial training, although there were many highlights of Jiang Yan's field games on TV, the Pacers' management and coaching staff still shook their heads after Jiang Yan arrived.
too skinny!
Is this really the flying Chen on TV?
This sense that goes against common sense fills everyone's brain.
But soon, this impression was completely broken by Jiang Yan's performance.
The physical test will begin soon.
Jiang Yan's static talent is not very outstanding.
Barefoot height is 186.2, wingspan is 194, and weight is 75kg.
In a place like the NBA, where there are so many monsters, this is the kind of rookie that even the water cooler keeper can't do.
but!
Who doesn't know how to hit the gas in a straight line? Fast in corners is really fast.
The NBA is about basketball.
Just looking at static talents is definitely not enough.
So after the dynamic talent test, everyone was dumbfounded!
The first is the bounce.
Jiang Yan can jump 106cm on the spot, 120cm on run-up, and has a reach height of nearly 3.8 meters. With this jumping ability, there is basically no second player in the league, not even Jordan.
What is the concept of this data? You will know by comparing it with several people with a similar body shape to Jiang Yan in the future.
Later, Guo Ailun, the nephew of the number one point guard in China, measured 191cm in shoes, 194cm in wingspan, 82kg in weight, 66cm in standing position, and 81cm in run-up.
The next Jeremy Lin is 1.9cm tall, with a wingspan of 1.96cm, a jump of 76cm on the spot, and a jump of 96cm on approach.
If you still don’t have any idea, then use black people.
Irving, the No. 1 pick in 2011, has a barefoot height of 18cm, a wingspan of 193cm, a standing height of 25cm, a weight of 87kg, a standing position of 75cm, and a run-up of 90cm.
Another more famous player, Allen Iverson, the No. 1 pick in 1996, is 183cm tall, has a wingspan of 196cm, weighs 75kg, and has a run-up jump of 110cm.
So Jiang Yan is the top player in the NBA.
Just in the jumping column, Jiang Yan got a perfect score.
After seeing the test data, the Pacers' management looked at each other and couldn't help but nodded. However, no one said anything, because just being able to jump is definitely not enough.
So the test continues.
Next is speed.
Jiang Yan sprinted three-quarters of the field in 3 seconds. There may be errors in the handwriting, but this is undoubtedly a quite amazing result.
The overall dribbling speed is 5.7 seconds! It’s simply shocking!
This data is really scary in this era, because later Iverson only had 5.71 seconds.
So no one present could ignore Jiang Yan at this moment.
Then came the 100-meter test. This time, when the data came out, it really shocked a bunch of people.
A well-informed old coach of the Pacers looked at the data and confirmed to the assistant coach in shock:
"If I remember correctly, the current 100-meter record in Asia is 10.18 seconds, right?"
"Yes, coach."
"Wow, it seems that we really met an amazing person today."
The old coach pointed to the 10.13 seconds number on the paper, looked at the thin Asian man, and felt a great change in his heart.
The 100-meter data of 10.13 seconds was definitely top-notch data in the 1991 NBA.
Until Iverson entered the NBA in 1996, his ultimate 100-meter time was only 10.13 seconds.
What's more, Jiang Yan is still a yellow man, so if the Pacers management is not shocked, then it is really incompetent.
At this moment, the colored glasses on everyone's faces have slowly faded away.
But the shock Jiang Yan brought to them was far more than that.
Because the speed test is over, after a short rest, it’s time for the strength test.
Compared with speed, strength is definitely an important indicator in the NBA in this era.
Because it is now 1991, the NBA emphasizes confrontation and there is a lot of physical contact. It is the iron-blooded era that scares countless stars later. It is an era when defenders are not very good at blowing the whistle even if they are elbowed when they break through!
If there is one sentence that distinguishes the current and later small ball eras, it is that current basketball is more like football.
So being fast is not particularly important, as you may hit your elbow faster and get gged.
For this reason, defenders in this era pay great attention to confrontation training. Having more muscles can prevent them from being easily knocked down, and they can also knock others down.
The biggest reason why Jiang Yan failed in interviews with seven or eight NBA teams was because he looked too thin.
Being thin means that you are easily injured, which means that you are easily targeted. When the time comes, let alone an elbow, you will be gone with just a slight push. Who dares to kill you? The team management may even be accused of murder.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So during the strength test, even the trainer took the initiative to remind me several times: "Don't hold on, just say it if you want to reduce the barbell plate."
As a result, Jiang Yan's performance once again shocked everyone.
The maximum bench press is 155 kg, and the maximum bench press is 28 times of 84 kg! The squat is even more terrifying, 210 kg, reaching 2.8 times the body weight.
These data are absolutely scary, especially the squat, which is the king of strength. This is the best way to evaluate a person's strength level. If you can squat 1.5 times your body weight, it is very good. If you squat twice, it will be awesome.
Comparatively, three to four times more can be used to participate in the Olympics.
Later Olympic champion, "God of Strength" Lu Xiaojun of China: squatted 270kg, weighed 77kg, a ratio of 3.5 times.
Jiang Yan didn't have much training, but he could reach 2.8 times by just using the green "gorilla power". It has to be said that if you have a golden finger, you will be great.
So the Pacers' coaching staff and trainers went crazy.
"Jesus Christ! Who can tell me how this little body can burst out with such powerful power!"
"Dame, are you sure these are real weight plates?"
"Are all Chinese people so perverted..."
With this power, he can beat all the defenders in the league now!
Reggie Miller also looked relieved at this time, and immediately showed his hands to the coach: "Look, what I said, he is a monster!"
It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that this guy is too perverted!
Who would have thought that this guy looks so weak that he can push your shit out with just one elbow?!
And head coach Bob’s eyes were already brightening at this moment.
He saw a big word on Jiang Yan's head: "Potential!"
This is only 75 kilograms. If I practice a little more and make these thin arms and legs thicker, the walker will fly into the sky!
However, as a head coach, he can still keep his composure. After all, it is just physical talent now, but if he is not very good at playing, it will be useless.
Whether Chen is strong in one-on-one combat, Bob has seen some of it on TV. He is great at one-on-one defense and is also very good at scoring in one-on-one situations, but basketball is for five people.
Of course, if Chen can't keep up with the rhythm, he will directly decide to sign him. The rhythm can be adapted slowly, and with such a strong body, it is always possible to defend well, right? Take your time.
So he directly ordered a fight!
Soon, the training match begins.
"Chen, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Reggie Miller said to Jiang Yan before the game started.
Jiang Yan smiled and said nothing. He caught the ball and started to find a rhythm.
So far, he has shown the speed and agility brought to him by the purple "Xingyunliushui" and the power of the green "gorilla power". Next, there is the blue "tactical understanding", the purple "three-pointer" and "
Passing the ball”, and body control that “flows smoothly”.
So this is a system.
With "moving clouds and flowing water" as the core of the body, "tactical understanding" as the brain center, and other skills as auxiliary, what he shows is that he can break out, shoot, pass, and when necessary, he can go up and fight.
Coupled with the defensive and stealing skills evolved from the "Dugu Nine Swords".
Jiang Yan is a powerful offensive and defensive weapon.
So in the next half hour or so, what the Pacers coaching staff saw was an extremely abnormal three-pointer, extremely smart passing, extremely fast, strong defense, not afraid of physical confrontation and even making people hairy.
His understanding of tactics is definitely a top player at the top level in the NBA.
The most important thing is that this guy not only has picturesque movements, but his core strength is also extremely stable, so his shooting accuracy is guaranteed.
Also, this guy is extremely aggressive.
Look at the look in his eyes, good guy, the other party just gave him a little dirty tricks, Chen's eyes look like they could kill someone.
What kind of look is this, the king’s look?!
At this moment, many people saw that look and it was strange. There was no hint, but they understood the meaning of that look at a glance.
The king's contempt!
Tsk tsk tsk!
Such aura!
At this moment, head coach Bob thought of another young man with great potential in the league.
These two seem to have the same potential.
Incredible!
What would happen if these two people met?
Of course, chen is not without its shortcomings.
Head coach Bob can see that his abilities in all aspects are very strong and considered top-notch, but he still lacks some game experience.
In other words, the game he played before was somewhat different from the NBA style, so he didn't perform well in many details.
But it doesn't matter, these are minor problems, just need to be reminded and play more games.
So, things are now clear.
After the training match, Jiang Yan's team lost to Reggie Miller's team 60-62.
Jiang Yan lost, but everyone present didn't think there was a problem. After all, Jiang Yan's team had mostly marginal players, and Jiang Yan himself scored the team's highest score of nearly 40 points.
Another embarrassing thing for the opponent is that no one on the opponent can guard against Jiang Yan and can only resort to evil tricks from time to time. This is one of the reasons why Jiang Yan is not used to it.
So what else is there to say, sign it!
Sign today and play tomorrow!
Bob's eyes were red and he asked Jiang Yan excitedly: "Chen, the Pacers welcome you!"
"Oh, I also want to visit other teams."
"No, everything about salary is easy to negotiate. I will definitely ask the management to give you the highest treatment within the rules."
Bob was anxious, such a person could not be placed in another team.
Similarly, Reggie was also anxious.
He can't beat him in a one-on-one fight, but he also feels quite threatening in a team fight.
And Reggie is not a selfish person, so he naturally thinks that such a person will definitely become a teammate if he can.
So he also advised: "You and I have two swords combined to form two spears in the backcourt. If someone blocks someone, they will kill someone, and if a Buddha blocks someone else, they will kill Buddha!"
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, done it!
Half a day later, Jiang Yan signed a one-year contract with the Pacers, with a salary of 800,000. This amount is considered to be above average in this era, and because of the salary cap problem of the Pacers, they can only give so much. However, starting from the next year, Jiang Yan will be given a salary of 800,000 yuan.
level, it will definitely not work without a maximum salary.
But Jiang Yan doesn't care about this. He's not doing it for money anyway, and if you really want to count money, the maximum salary in the NBA in this era is only around 3 million, which is meaningless.
So the next day, after he woke up from Sally's bed, he officially started his NBA career.
