Chapter 9 Jerry West
"Why do I feel that these guys look at me strangely?"
On the morning of June 2, the three-day Chicago rookie joint training camp came the next day. Lin Han learned from Bruce Bowen that if yesterday's physical test was only set for some top geniuses, the second day of the rookie training camp was the real stage for them, the low-end rookies.
Because as long as you can perform well in today's group competition, you can basically establish your position in the final draft. After all, the physical test set for the players' physical talent does not meet everyone's standards, or the reference value is actually not that great. For example, Bowen, who can almost be said to be the worst in this physical test, only spent 3.40 seconds in the three-quarter sprint run, and Anthony Hardaway, the best score, is only 3.13 seconds. Of course, even inside player Chris Webber, his three-quarter sprint score has reached 3.25 seconds. It can be said that whether it is inside or outside, genius or mediocre, it is impossible to use them to use their body side to get a one-size-fits-all gap. The gap between everyone is actually not that big, especially even some mediocre talents in this training camp, they are actually the top dozens of talented players in all rookies in the United States.
Of course, Lin Han needs to be excluded from this. Lin Han’s physical test data can actually make him one-size-fits-all with other rookies, and the gap is too big.
Therefore, for these rookies here, the most important opportunity is group confrontation, and this is what many talented rookies who want to improve their draft rankings are most looking forward to. How can they improve their draft rankings in the fastest way? The easiest thing is naturally to destroy the players who are ranked ahead of them in the game.
Therefore, Lin Han also learned from Aili that after more than ten years of Chicago joint rookies training camp, direct confrontation between rookies was not allowed, because after more than ten years and after the media was extremely developed, the impact of a small confrontation game was unimaginable, so many popular rookies were afraid of losing in the confrontation game and causing a plunge in the pick. In the end, no one dared to come to the genius training camp again, so this event was cancelled.
It's just obvious that for now, whether it is a high-ranking rookie or some ordinary rookies, they are not afraid of failure, or the current media does not need them to worry about what kind of huge impact it will have on them after failing here. Moreover, the NBA atmosphere is not as commercial as it will be in the future. Whether it is a rookie or a NBA player, they still maintain a pure basketball heart, not afraid of challenges or others' challenges.
Therefore, Lin Han has long been ready to go for today's training program. With his current physical talent, he is just an ordinary Asian person and has no possibility of entering the NBA. Even if he enters the ordinary NCAA team, no one will want him. However, if it is more practical, the purple and gold skills he has that ignores the intensity of the game and ignores personal physical fitness can greatly increase his game strength.
Therefore, when I woke up today, Bowen was full of fear and anxiety about today's training program, but Lin Han was extremely excited.
"Well, these people's eyes are indeed a bit weird. Maybe you are the only Asian player in the training camp this year, so don't care too much."
After coming to the training camp with Lin Han, Bowen also discovered that when he and Lin Han walked in, many rookies around him always pointed at them, or pointed at Lin Han. Some guys even looked at him and Lin Han with contempt and laughed secretly, which surprised Bowen too?
Didn't he and Lin Han become stars in the training camp if they didn't see each other for a day?
Of course, Lin Han and Bao Wen, who did not belong to their agent and agent team at this time, naturally would not know that Lin Han's physical test score was too "shocking", breaking the lowest physical test data of rookies in previous years, winning the title of the worst rookie in history. Moreover, because of the roar of the training camp manager, Lin Han became the biggest laughing stock here.
"Haha, this guy is that Asian, right? He doesn't even have a decent muscle on his body, his calves are thick and short, and it's all fat. It's not surprising that such a guy can measure such data."
"The worst rookie in history and the second worst rookie in history are really good friends. They really complement each other, hahahaha."
"Haha, don't laugh so loudly. I'm still going to wait for the next group confrontation to teach these two people a lesson, so it's best to make them my stepping stones into the lottery zone."
"Hahahaha, they are both players in the fifth grade when they are grouped by seed rookies, so they can only be in different groups. It is impossible for you to defeat these two at the same time, because the group with these two must be eliminated in the first round and cannot enter the finals."
Although he didn't know why he suddenly became the focus of everyone, Lin Han didn't care too much. He was like this when he was at Utah Valley Community College. Lin Han has always been a very self-centered person. If he really cared about other people's opinions, he wouldn't be able to survive at Utah Valley Community College.
So, after a little unhappy with these guys, Lin Han and Bao Wen also found an empty venue to start warming up. For any sports, warm-up before the game is extremely important, especially after an hour, there will be a game that determines their fate waiting for them.
"Huh? Lin, your jump shot is really amazing. Whether it is the height of the bounce, the height of the shot, or even the posture of the shot, it makes people unable to see the shadow of beginners, and it has even surpassed many top NCAA players. And I found that your shooting movements seem to make me feel very familiar."
When the two of them warmed up and were doing light confrontation training with balls, looking at Lin Han who had just completed a free throw jump shot in front of them, Bowen said unexpectedly. In his opinion, Lin Han is definitely a beginner in terms of physical test scores or other aspects, but this time, Lin Han's shooting actually gave him the feeling of Michael Jordan, that posture, that move expression, and even after jumping, Lin Han's score difference between his legs was very similar to Jordan, and it was extremely standard.
"Is this? This is a new shot I have developed recently, it's very good."
Since accepting Kobe's turn and back jump shot, the inheritance of the purple and gold skill, Lin Han's other ordinary jump shots have slowly changed to Kobe's movements under the guidance of Alice. Perhaps because of Kobe's true inheritance, he has practiced well with the special jump shot of the turn and back jump shot, which has also led to Lin Han's imitation of Kobe's movements on some other ordinary jump shots, which has a good effect.
Moreover, this was the first time he was praised when he used it in front of others. This also made Lin Han very excited. But he didn't feel excited for long, and then Lin Han was extremely embarrassed.
"Haha, Lin, after only less than ten shots, your movements were deformed, and there were problems with the bounce height and shooting height. It seemed that you were really not very skilled."
Faced with Bo Wen's teasing, Lin Han shook his head bitterly. It was not that he was not skilled in this movement, but because his deception was only 5 points of endurance attribute, and his physical reserves like that of ordinary people made him unable to afford such Kobe-style jump shots at all, because he found that after he made more than ten such jump shots, his physical fitness soon had problems. This was much worse than when he was training alone. In the past, when he trained alone, such jump shots could be made twenty in a row. It can also be seen that although it was light confrontation training, Bo Wen's defense had a great impact on him. Moreover, the shooting percentage of the ten balls he shot this time was less than 40%, which was far worse than the shooting percentage of his own 70% when he trained alone.
"Now I really understand why Aili said that Kobe turned around and leaned back and jump shot, how amazing it is to ignore his personal physical fitness and ignore the intensity of the game."
Lin Han looked at the excited friend in front of him and thought in his heart that just one-on-one light confrontation training with Bowen can make his mid-range jump shot shooting rate less than 40%. Then in the NBA game, facing the NBA level defense, even if his current ability is 15 shots, the final mid-range shooting rate is probably difficult to reach 20%. Ali said before that he went to NBA and hit the NBA's shooting rate would not be higher than 30%, so he did not hit him excessively.

"Mr. West, welcome to our United Rookie Training Camp in Chicago"
At this time, Lin Han and Bowen were doing pre-match warm-up for the next confrontation game. At this time, in the office of the training camp manager Wood, the guy who roared at Lin Han yesterday had no temper at this time and stood in front of Jerry West with a decent look on his face.
Jerry West sat in a office seat that originally belonged to Wood and looked at the rookie report sent by Wood. The Lakers godfather, NBA logo, didn't even look at Wood. Wood did not dare to express any dissatisfaction with his ignorance by West.
Joke, he really doesn't dare to be dissatisfied with this former No. 1 shooting guard in NBA history, the godfather of the Lakers, and the logo of the league. With Jerry West's connections, he can get him out of here in minutes.
Although he dared not be dissatisfied with Jerry West's arrival on the surface, the director of the rookie training camp in his heart had already begun to curse the rookie training camp he was in charge of how he got this guy.
Although Chicago United Rookie Training Camp is one of the best rookie training camps, it is still impossible to invite a great master like Jerry West. At most, each company can only send a few scouts. If you pay more attention, send the chief scouts. Generally speaking, even the head coaches and assistant coaches of each team will not come here to observe the rookie on the spot.
“This year’s training camp is really unlucky”
Thinking of these things, looking at the Lakers godfather in front of him who was immersed in the rookie report and the Asian rookie who appeared somewhere yesterday, Wood suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little unfavorable this year.
Chapter completed!
