0100: [Crazy Training Camp]

Dugg and Russell Westbrook reported from their trip to the Orlando training camp in the afternoon.

In fact, Dugg was pushing Russell early in the morning, but Westbrook felt that he was also a hot rookie to get into the Green House, and he had been guaranteed a draft pick in Seattle in advance, so he should be a bit of a big name. The big names are always late.

However, when he arrived, he found that he was not a big enough name.

Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo arrived almost near the end of the day, and OJ Mayo brought a dedicated filming team with him to make another documentary to document his NBA journey.

In terms of marketing, OJ Mayo is clearly one rank above the other rookies. The 'black gold scandal' he broke out before was also successfully covered up by his team. He has been training with Dwyane Wade recently, and there are constant rumors in the basketball media that the Miami Heat will use their roster to pick OJ Mayo and form a backcourt double with Dwyane Wade!

But about marketing. O.J. Mayo has always been biased against Dugg, and he has been saying sour things in the media.

On the one hand, he is not optimistic about Dug's draft prospects, on the other hand, he believes that Snoopy's daily appearance on the entertainment news is not something that a professional player should do, and his team has attacked Nike's contract with Snoopy as vicious hype.

When talking to Russell Westbrook about the matter last night, Dugg couldn't understand why the USC player was inexplicably targeting him.

However, Westbrook's agent, Sam Forcher, told him with a smile: "It's one of the usual draft picks." With the Nike contract incident and that single that has been very popular recently, plus you are an NCAA Final Four MOP winner. This makes you one of the most talked-about players in this rookie, if not one. But your strength has not reached the level that can match your fame, and at this time, condescending criticism or giving you a little advice is the easiest thing to get noticed. โ€

"As far as I know, OJ Mayo still hasn't been promised a draft pick from any team. And, his team wants him to go to the big city. However, none of the major cities had a higher ranking this year. Now they can't wait to make some big news and get the big ball teams to trade up for him. โ€

When Dugg heard this, he finally understood: "Is OJ Mayo's team using me as a stepping stone to the draft? โ€

So, when he saw OJ Mayo coming over at training camp, he turned his back directly. Dugg doesn't want to have any images with him other than his blocks on the court, and who knows what kind of 'picture-talking' reporting model his team will adopt.

Dugg completed the static and dynamic somatometric data on the same day.

Static data: barefoot height 191.6 cm, shoes height 193.6 cm, weight 96 kg, arm span 208.39 cm. Standing touch height 269.09 cm, body fat percentage 4.22%, palm length 28.26 cm, palm width 32.46 cm.

Dynamic data: 103 cm vertical bounce height in situ, 3.65 cm height in in-situ vertical bounce. The vertical bounce height of the run-up is 88 cm, and the height of the run-up touch is 3.36 cm. In the 84kg class bench press 29 times, the baseline switchback ran in 13.38 seconds, and the 3/4 sprint was 3.79 seconds.

This data detonated the entire training camp.

Because the contrast is too great.

Everyone knows Dugg's arm span, but no one expected his standing touch height to reach 269 cm, you must know that Michael Jordan was only this standing touch height back then. However, Michael Jordan has a height of 198 plus an arm span of 216. But how did Snoopy, who is barefoot and less than 192 centimeters tall, do it? He doesn't look like Marion's short neck.

Later, the trainer took off his clothes and exclaimed after seeing his entire back muscles as well as shoulder muscles: "This is a natural inverted triangle, whether it is bone or muscle lines, perfect!! โ€

When this data was obtained, many scouts of the team who came to observe the scene quickly sent back messages.

With Dugg's 269's striking touch and a terrifying 103 bouncing in place, he has enough airspace on the defensive end to shoot down the Raider with every emergency lift-off.

And another staggering statistic is his palm. The length of his palms isn't particularly terrifying, and he's among the top outside players. But his width swept across the camp, and at 32.46 centimeters, he was 2.2 centimeters wider than Michael Jordan that year. This meant that the basketball was more in his hands, and Westbrook even teased Dugg: "Maybe you can catch the ball and shoot it at the same time." โ€

In fact, Dugg is fully capable of doing this.

In addition, Dugg's bench press data and body fat percentage also caused some surprises, but these were reasonable and did not cause much noise.

Even after the Dugg baseline switchback run, 3/4 sprint and run-up touch height data were released, no one was particularly surprised, because Darren Collison has all been exposed about this, which is a well-known shortcoming, so his attention has not decreased because of this.

However, after the physical test data of OJ Mayo and Michael Beasley came out, it caused a great uproar.

OJ Mayo, who plays point guard, turned out to be barefoot and not as tall as Dugg, only 191.3 centimeters.

Michael Beasley, who plays power forward, is only 201.2 centimeters tall barefoot.

And the height of the two previously declared was 195 cm and 208 cm respectively, the difference is so big, it suddenly makes... Suspicion of them has grown.

And because it is a sudden exposure, the resulting influence forms a superimposed and multiplied effect.

On the contrary, Duge, because everyone knows a lot about his data, there is no gap at all.

Westbrook secretly rejoiced in the uproar of the scouts and a small number of media workers next to him, and told Dugg: "Snoopy, you say... Will I be the star of the year because of this? โ€

Dugg shook his head, he said he couldn't predict.

The fact that the height is mixed with water will indeed make the NBA teams have a lot of confidence in these two candidates, but... This year is indeed a draft year. Except for Rose, Mayo, Beasley, plus half of Westbrook, there is really no one else who can play.

So, this situation has also created a mentality that everyone wants to go for the lotto.

When Dugg announced that he had signed up for tomorrow's full-court match, the crowd was packed.

Anthony Randolph and Javier McGee signed up as soon as possible.

Subsequently, Westbrook insisted on playing to help his brother Snoopy, despite the objections of his agent.

Of course, Kevin Love also followed, and as for the Congolese striker Ibaka who spoke Spanish English signed by Lin Weiwei, he also stood firmly behind Duge.

And when the UCLA gang announced that they were all joining.

All the popular rookies who were picked out by UCLA before were red-eyed, and they all announced their registration despite the opposition of the brokerage team.

The Lรณpez Brothers, Mario Champos, Brandon Rush, O.J. Mayo, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley... These members of the Green House and the top favorites are all involved.

While all of these guys are on board, other hot picks looking to move up the pick will certainly stay on top, with Contney Lee, JJ Hickson, Jason Thompson, DJ Augustine, Eric Gordon, Gallinari, .......

When the director in charge of the training camp, Bagles, saw the names of these hot rookies, his eyes almost straightened.

In previous years, this would have been unimaginable.

In the past, popular rookies almost never participated in this kind of confrontational training, and even if they did, they would not attack the whole network in such a group. After all, no one wants an uncontrolled event to happen before the draft that could affect the drop.

However, now all the rookies seem to be red-eyed, forming an extremely fierce and healthy competition!

"Shouldn't I sell some tickets and go out?"

Bagles muttered with a smile.

At the same time, the general managers and owners of all the teams in the league received the message almost simultaneously.

So, one by one, they began to rush to order tickets.

Direct confrontation is the best way to test the success of rookies.
