Chapter 67 Chicago Training Camp

An uneventful month and a half has passed.

Within a month, Yang Zhenxing continued to train every day and participated in a lot of practical training, but the level was not too high. However, it was not because of how much these practical trainings could improve his level. The purpose of participating in the practical training was to adapt to his current situation.

I have grown a lot physically and technically compared to three years ago.

In the blink of an eye, it was late May. During this period, Yang Zhenxing often spent time with Yao Zhenbo, and his relationship with the brothers also got closer. He spent more time with these people, and Yang Zhenxing felt that it was good to have brothers. Yao Zhenbo also stayed with his family.

After talking about the situation here, his father also came to the United States. Originally, his father wanted him to get out and go home, but later he still asked hard. Yang Zhenxing also worked with his father, and finally his father agreed to let him stay here.

He also helped him pay off his debt, but Yao Zhenbo had to work hard for the rest. The old man didn't leave him a penny. Yang Zhenxing lamented that time flies so fast. At this time, the NBA playoffs were still in full swing before the draft.

Various trials have gradually begun. Yang Zhenxing naturally does not want to give up any of these opportunities. He hopes to perform well during this period and lay a solid foundation for joining the NBA. However, he knows that he is training with these famous Chicago rookies today.

The camp is about to begin. Yang Zhenxing came to Chicago early to participate in this training camp. His goal this time is not to score many points, but to occasionally abuse the top ten rookies in the NBA.

This season, the Chicago Bulls were defeated by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round due to Rose's injury. Therefore, the organizers don't have to worry about robbing the Bulls players. They have been eliminated early and went home to fish. It is estimated that they have already

I am no longer in the mood to visit this training camp.

In the Chicago arena, a large number of rookies, coaches, scouts, team staff, and media reporters gathered on this day. It was a huge crowd and it was very lively.

"Hi, Yang, long time no see." The voice of a tall man came to Yang Zhenxing's ears.

"Oh, Anthony, you're here so early." Xingxing saw that it turned out to be Xingxing's Kentucky teammate Anthony Davis, the most popular candidate for this year's No. 1 pick.

"Hello, Yang, long time no see" was a deep voice

"Mr. Daniel Anderson, long time no see." It turned out to be the old scout Daniel Anderson. Xingxing was still wondering, "Why are you together?"

"Haha" the old scout smiled, "We have known each other for a long time, even earlier than I met you"

"oh?"

"You don't know this," the old scout paused deliberately. "It was Anthony who introduced me to invite you to participate in the trial training organized by me." Anthony Davis smiled at Yang Zhenxing, and Yang Zhenxing understood in his heart.

"Thank you, Anthony, and thank you, Mr. Anderson."

Mr. Anderson smiled and said: "I should thank you for making the practical training I organized a success."

"Haha, I should thank you." Yang Zhenxing said to Anthony Davis again: "Anthony, what have you been busy with recently?"

Anderson interjected, "Anthony has been training with Patrick Ewing recently."

Yang Zhenxing was naturally envious: "Wow, it's really great. It would be great if a superstar could teach me."

"If you work hard, you will definitely succeed. I have seen that you have potential," said old scout Anderson.

"Well, I will try my best. Thank you for your encouragement."

"But, Yang, what have you been doing lately? I haven't seen you for so long and I don't even know how to call you."

"I don't have anything to do. Recently I just find some low-level people to train casually."

When Davis heard that he was training with low-level people, he said, "How can that work? How can you improve your level like this?"

"Oh, that's all the level is, just keep the feeling on the court."

Davis added: "This won't work, but it will get better in the future. The draft training camp has basically started. There will be a lot of opportunities in one and a half months. If you perform well, there will definitely be a team that wants you."

of"

"Well, thank you, of course I will try my best."

"Assemble!" A whistle sounded on the radio to signal all players participating in this training to assemble.

Yang Zhenxing looked at about 60 people, which was about the same as the number of people participating in the draft. There were a few who didn't come, but it's no wonder, because in today's information society, players basically don't have to worry about not being tapped. Players come to participate

This training is mainly just going through the motions. Of course, this is only for players who are relatively high in the draft. Players like Yang Zhenxing who can't even make it into the second round naturally have to seize this opportunity to perform well.

Ichiban

Yang Zhenxing looks high-spirited today. He has been eager to perform. In fact, Yang Zhenxing's strength is already good among rookies. Maybe it is because of his physical fitness and his yellow race at home. The media's evaluation of him

It has never been too high, but it’s no wonder. Players with average physical fitness in the NBA are basically relatively low in the draft. Especially in recent years, the physical fitness of the top picks in consecutive years is top-notch.

Yang Zhenxing is determined to perform well today, and it is best to abuse a few top rookies.

The first item is the measurement of height and weight.

Anthony Davis was the first to stand on the measuring machine. He was 2.08 meters tall and had a wingspan of 2.27 meters. Such a slender armband made everyone envious. Reporters and staff off the court were all taking notes.

The players went up and measured one by one until the second to last player was ranked Yang Zhenxing.

Yang Zhenxing stood on the measuring machine, with a height of 193cm, a wingspan of 193cm, and a weight of 91 kilograms. Oh, the poor wingspan, and the weight is also a bit light. Yang Zhenxing lamented that his physical fitness was weaker than others, and encouraged him to strengthen training to improve his body strength.

Give me some practice

Next, some simple physical coordination training was carried out, which was similar to an ordinary physical examination. These contents were fine for these players, and Yang Zhenxing was no exception.

Next, I tested my jumping. Although my jumping has indeed improved a lot in the past three years, Yang Zhenxing is still not sure whether his jumping level can be ranked in the NBA.

The first one was Anthony Davis. Anthony jumped hard. Everyone was stunned. He almost touched the edge of the backboard. The staff below reported it. The vertical jump was 91 centimeters. Such a jump height is unparalleled in the NBA.

Big players are definitely the best among all players.

In the subsequent tests of many rookies, most defenders were able to jump to over 85 centimeters. There were many who were over 90 centimeters, and there were also those over 1 meter. Post players were basically above 75 centimeters. It seems that the body of this draft was

The quality is pretty good

It was Yang Zhenxing's turn to jump. Yang Zhenxing was still a little nervous because in his memory he had never properly tested his jumping ability.

This time he jumped hard and hit his head on the backboard, causing everyone to laugh.

The staff signaled to dance again. Although he made a fool of himself, Yang Zhenxing felt that the dance was easy and his confidence had indeed increased a lot.

Next, Yang Zhenxing made a slight adjustment and jumped hard, with a vertical jump of 88 centimeters. Yang Zhenxing looked pretty good at first glance, at an average level. He was already quite satisfied with this data. After all, he did not rely on this for a living. This was better than Steve Nash.

The poor jumper who is over 70 is much better. He estimates that his jump is about the same as Allen's, which is very good.

After the dance, Yang Zhenxing and Anthony Davis high-fived to celebrate. Davis said to him: "Not bad, it seems there is progress."

"Hey, how can I compare to you? You are a tall insider with long arms and you can jump so high. When the time comes, give me some face and don't treat me to hot pot all the time. I can't afford it."

"Haha, no problem, I will definitely treat you."

The two looked at each other and laughed. The old scout was also very satisfied with this data.
