"Hey, why don't you come in and sit down?" Tang Qian looked at the young woman and said.
"Oh, no, Don, you are a very interesting person, but I have to go today." The young woman said while sitting in the car.
"But, with such heavy rain, would it be unsafe for you to go back like this?" Tang Qian said.
"It's okay. If I don't go back, someone will call the police soon, so Tang, let's see you next time." After speaking, the young woman casually wrote a number to Tang Qian and said, "This is my private number.
You can contact me after you change your American phone number, but remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone."
"Okay, Tang, it's nice to meet you. I wish you a successful trial!"
"Yes, I will, and I will lend you your good words." Tang Qian was not a shy person. When he saw that the other party had already decided to leave, he stopped trying to hold him back and allowed the other party to back up and speed up and disappear in the heavy rain.
"What a friendly American woman, huh? Wait, it seems that I haven't paid her yet?" Tang Qian scratched his head in distress, but then thought about it, he also has the other party's phone number anyway, so he can wait until next time
It's not too late to pay her if you have the chance.
but……
What's her name?
It seems like I don’t even know yet.
Hey, forget it, let’s wait until next time to ask.
Arriving at the main entrance of Toyota Sports Center, Tang Qian began to ask people: "Hi, hello sir, do you know Mr. Phil Hubbard?"
"Phil Hubbard?" The guard guarding the Toyota Sports Center looked at Tang Qian and said, "Phil Hubbard is in the gym. What do you want with him?"
"I came here to try out with Mr. Hubbard," Tang Qian said honestly.
"Trial training? You look like a basketball player. Well, you wait here and I'll go in and call him."
"OK, thanks."
About ten minutes later, a man wearing round glasses appeared in front of Tang Qian. He looked about fifty-six or seventeen years old. He had a typical American Mediterranean hairstyle, but his figure and body were quite tall.
He is straight, so at first glance, people would think that he is only forty-seven or eighteen years old.
"Hello, Mr. Phil Hubbard." Tang Qian looked at the American man and said in a respectful tone.
"Are you the one Li introduced to me?" Phil Hubbard didn't be "courteous" to Tang Qian and went straight to the point.
"Yes, Mr. Hubbard, I..."
"Okay, come in with me, and I'll test your body first." Phil Hubbard interrupted Tang Qian's words.
This coach doesn't like beating around the bush, so it saves me a lot of "talking".
"Tang, I don't know if Li told you or not. Although we are only NBDL, a second-level league, the competition for positions is also very fierce. If you can't satisfy me..."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Hubbard, if my performance cannot satisfy you, I will leave on my own without you asking," Tang Qian continued.
"Very good, I like people who are self-aware." Hubbard took Tang Qian to the Toyota Sports Center. Although the facilities here are not as good as the NBA's home and away games, they are much better than those at home.
.
"Joseph, this is the new kid. Let's take him for a basic physical examination." Hubbard walked into a room and said to a white man about 1.8 meters tall.
"Okay sir, I will take care of it." The white man came over and said to Tang Qian: "Are you an Oriental?"
"Well, yes, my name is Tang Qian, from China." Tang Qian replied friendly.
"Oh, Chinese? Well, come with me." Joseph, the white man, led Tang Qian into a miniature stadium. Why is it called a miniature stadium? Because this place is very small. There is only a basketball court and a little bit next to it.
There was no free space, and Tang Qian felt a little cramped when he walked in. But at the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that Americans really do things with "every inch of land is precious." In order to maximize the effect of the stadium, every place is carefully planned.
Yes, there will never be any "extravagant and wasteful" behavior.
"Come on, stand on this machine first." Joseph pointed to a corner, and Tang Qian saw an inoperable machine placed there.
"Let's test your basic body data first." After Joseph said that, he turned on the power of the machine. Tang Qian took a glance and knew what this machine was used for.
"Okay, stand firm and don't move." Joseph fiddled with the machine a few times, and groups of numbers began to appear on the machine.
"Height barefoot is 214.8, not bad, very good height."
Joseph took out a recording board, looked at Tang Qian's physical data, and wrote on the paper with a pen.
"Weighing 231.48 pounds, this weight is a bit thin for my height. I need to gain weight."
Joseph continued to write with his head down.
"Open your hands, straighten them, okay, don't move."
"Well, seven, seven feet and eight inches?" Joseph thought he had made a mistake. He asked Tang Qian to do the test again, but the test result was still bright red at seven feet and eight inches.
"With a wingspan of seven feet and eight, this is close to 2.34 meters, which is nearly 20 centimeters higher than his bare foot height. A monster, an absolute long-armed monster!" Joseph filled out in surprise.
You must know that wingspan is extremely important for a basketball player, whether outside or inside. Especially as a center player, guarding the basket in the penalty area, the longer the arms, the theoretically better the ability to block shots and rebound.
.And the arm span length will not fade with the passage of time. Just like the famous power forward Tim Duncan in the NBA, why is it 2015 and he can still make trouble in the interior and teach the juniors a lesson? Super long arms
It is definitely a big help for him to maintain his competitive ability. Maybe the dynamic physical measurement data of "Stone Buddha" is not amazing, but when it comes to static, it is simply not inferior to any "physical monster". The seven-foot-seven-inch super arm
Exhibition is one of his ultimate weapons to "hide his merit and fame".
Joseph has been doing physical testing for some years, so he is very keen on various physical data.
Not to mention China, the wingspan of all Eastern races is short. This is not a "racial discrimination theory", but a living fact. For example, Yao Ming, who once did well in the NBA, is
The famous "short-handed monster", with a height of 229cm, only has a wingspan of 221cm. Although Yao Ming is already the best player in the NBA among Asians, when it comes to wingspan, he is not ranked high.
.
Generally speaking, if the wingspan exceeds the height, it is considered to have "good attributes". If you want to achieve excellence, the larger the gap, the more terrifying it is. For example, the "Stone Buddha" mentioned above, the difference between height and wingspan is
The proportions of Leonard and Rondo on the perimeter are even more exaggerated. The former has a wingspan of 221CM, and the difference between his height and wingspan is 20CM. The latter has a wingspan of 213CM, with a height and arm span of 213CM.
The difference in spread can shock people. The 28cm gap directly determines that although Rondo is shorter in height, his defensive strength is quite high. Two defensive teams in the first team and two defensive teams in the second team are enough to illustrate the problem.
.
For example, later Anthony Davis and the former super defensive center Dikembe Mutombo were also of the "long-hand monster" type. With such advantages, the benefits are indescribable.
"Yes, yes, raise your hands, Dongfang boy, I want to see your standing reach."
Obviously, Tang Qian's physical data made Joseph interested.
Wingspan is great! But what about standing reach? Compared with wingspan, this is the "dominant indicator" for inside players.
Many "laymen" may think that if a person has a super long wingspan, his standing reach must be super strong. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. If you carefully read the static physical test reports of some rookies, you will find that, in fact,
Although some people have "average" arm spans, their standing height is more exaggerated than many "long-hand monsters". The reasons for this problem are, first, the length of the head and neck, and second, the length of the head and neck.
It's because of the width of the shoulders.
For example, the 2013 "Third Prize" pick Otto Porter is an example. Although his wingspan is "only" 211CM, his standing height reaches an astonishing 269CM. Compared to Kelly Oubre of the same team
, obviously the wingspan has reached 219CM, but the standing reach is not as good as Otto, only 260CM.
So Joseph wanted to see if this Chinese boy's standing reach was as terrifying as his wingspan.
"Nine? Nine feet seven inches???d, damnit!!!"
After seeing Tang Qian's in-situ touch, Joseph finally couldn't help but cursed.
"It's too exaggerated, it's really too exaggerated!!! How did you do it??? Are you really of Oriental origin???"
"What? Is there something wrong with my standing reach?" Tang Qian couldn't help but ask when he saw Joseph's appearance.
"Problem? Shit! Of course there is a problem! Do you know what nine feet, seven inches is? That's 2.92 meters! Damn it! That's 2.92 meters!" Joseph looked at Tang Qian's calm look and couldn't help but remind him.
Said: "Hey, Chinese boy, what's your expression? You know Kevin Garnett, right? His standing reach is only 275CM! You know Dwight Howard, right? His standing reach is only 283CM! You know
What is your concept of 292cm? This kind of standing height, even in the NBA, is a historical level!!!"
"Really?" Tang Qian replied calmly.
When Zhang Dashuai was in his junior year at Overbrook High School in 1955, his standing height reached 2.921 meters, which was a little higher than what he is now. The famous photo of him holding a ball with both hands was taken in this year.
And he is obviously older than Dashuai Zhang back then, but in terms of standing height, he has not "developed" as others. This kind of achievement is really not something to be happy about for Tang Qian who has 100% of Chamberlain's physical potential.
Moreover.
Tang Qian clearly remembered that in the future, Zhou Qi's standing reach was not much different from his own, seemingly between 291cm and 292cm, so when facing this data, Tang Qian didn't feel much happy.
"You are such a freak! You have such terrible static physical test data, but you don't even have a smile on your face. I really don't know how your head is thinking." Seeing the "expressionless" face of the real owner, Joseph even felt doubtful in his heart.
Surprised and no longer in a mood to show off, he looked at Tang Qian and said, "I'll test your dynamic data next. Come on, Chinese boy, come over here."
"Let's try your vertical jump." Joseph brought a height touch instrument. By touching the instrument in situ, he could estimate a player's vertical jump.
PS: It's a little late today, but I still caught up, Xiao Zi is ashamed!
Regarding the Los Angeles Defenders, in fact, in the 2010-2011 season, which is the season Tang Qian is now here, they withdrew from the NBDL league for a period of time, but it seems that they will return next season. However, for the sake of the plot, Xiaozi here
Changed it a bit.
Regarding Yao Ming's wingspan, one theory is 221CM and the other is 225CM. Xiao Zi takes the former here.
