Chapter 121 [The Domineering President Doesn't Choose the King]
Wang Jun returned to Ann Arbor after completing the tryout in the fourth team to continue training.
Unfortunately, the uniform teams of these four teams all decided to choose someone else and give up Wang Jun.
HE IS AVERAGE ATHLETIC, 195CM TALL, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET A SHOT IF HE DOES NOT ARRANGE TACTICS. As for the back body ability, no one is interested, so you can't let the core wait for opportunities on the periphery to make room for him, right?
Wang Jun's physical strength is very good, and he also ignored this point during the physical test.
While Pistons management was conferging, scout Steve Joel tried to convince Dumas.
"Qiao, Wang Jun has made rapid progress, and he has reached this level in just one year. There is news that he was a fat man a year ago, so why not give him a chance? It's just the 25th pick in the first round! ”
Jo Dumas shook his head and smiled a little disdainfully: "I'm curious why you are optimistic about him?" There are so many international players in the swingman position this year, and they can help the team when they come, and what we need is immediacy. What can that Chinese do when he comes? Cultivate him? Let him guard the low post? Partnering with Ben (Wallace) on the inside? ”
Joel couldn't help it, and asked about the No. 2 pick again. "Then why didn't you pick Anthony in the No. 2 pick?"
'I think Milicic has more potential.
Joel felt the president's brain twitch. "Can't you see Anthony's technology being comprehensive? He's the instant combat power! Milicic is here to start, who can be sure if he will be able to adapt to the rhythm of the game? ”
Dumas had already completely bowed under Milicic's sports shorts, and it was good to see anything. "He's not as well-rounded as Anthony, but he has potential, are we going to give up a bigger man who is better than Nowitzki?"
During the tryout, Milicic did perform incredible, with a soft shooting touch, agility and speed under the basket, which is rare among big players, and he can also skillfully use the left hook and dribble inside the free throw line to catch the ball and dunk directly.
Veteran scout Will Robinson supports the president. "Joel, you're still too young, you have to think about a lot of players when you choose players, and I think Milicic might become a dominant player like Oxlade-Chamberlain."
“……”
Joel roared in his heart: Didn't Nima still want to introduce instant combat power just now? You're just looking at your body!
Robinson, who spent two decades as a scout with the Pistons, was Joel's mentor and had too many qualifications to argue with.
The Pistons are not interested in Anthony, on the one hand, because there is a lot of potential Prince at the No. 3 position, and only a big man who can repair both inside and outside. With Billups on the ball and Hamilton on the run, they picked Anthony and wouldn't give him the ball.
Anthony is now waiting for the draft, and he will soon be dumbfounded, and he doesn't want to go to the Nuggets at all.
At the beginning of June, except for the Spurs and Nets, who reached the finals, the other teams basically decided on the first choice and spare tire.
This season, the Nets have not been as vulnerable as they were last year, playing six games against the Spurs and losing miserably.
Tim Duncan, known as "Stone Buddha" and "Dumb" by Chinese fans, averaged 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 blocks per game in the regular season and won the MVP.
In the playoffs, he was even more vigorous, and his statistics improved comprehensively, averaging 24.7 points, 15.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.3 blocks per game.
In the Finals, Duncan was simply hanging, averaging 24.3 points, 17 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 5.3 blocks per game against Beast power forward Kenyon Martin.
His block statistics are unprecedented, almost scoring a quadruple-double in Game 6, leading the team to another championship, winning the Finals MVP himself, and completing the personal grand slam of honor.
Since the statistics of the cap, Duncan is the only one in history who has won the monster data of 20+15+5+5 in the finals, and the NBA seems to be about to change the rule of one person.
At the end of the NBA season, the rookies basically went to each team for physical testing, except for the international players who did not come to the United States.
A group of monsters has emerged from the Platinum Generation.
With terrifying speed, TJ Ford is extremely agile, and even if there is an injury hazard, he will definitely be selected by the high pick.
With a terrifying reach, center Perkins is 208CM tall and weighs 127 kg, reaching an arm span of 227CM.
With a terrifying three-pointer, Capono's training shooting percentage is comparable to that of a famous pitcher.
There is a terrifying neck, Bosh is about the same shoulder height as Brian Cook, plus the neck is half a head higher than the other party......
THE MOST SURPRISING THING IS LEBRON JAMES, WHO HAS A SUPER COMPREHENSIVE QUALITY, IN ADDITION TO BEING ONLY 203CM TALL, HE LOOKS LIKE HE CAN PLAY FIVE POSITIONS, EVEN IF HE IS NOT INFERIOR TO A DEFENDER WITH PASSING AWARENESS.
There are also quite a few rookies who have been questioned.
One of the more interesting statistic in the body test is the fat content, which mainly evaluates a player's ability to maintain body shape.
Among them, Anthony and Carman both had excessive fat mass. Both players had over 10 percent fat in the physical tests, and it's common belief among NBA scouts and coaches that a player shouldn't have more than 8 percent fat, at least at the start of the season.
Even worse than the two draft favorites is Wang Jun, whose body test results show that his fat content is as high as 13.7%.
THE ONLY CONSOLATION IS THAT HIS ARM SPAN OF 208CM IS LONGER THAN A YEAR AGO, YOU KNOW, MICHAEL JORDAN HAD AN ARM SPAN OF ONLY 212CM BACK THEN. Kobe Bryant, who is 198cm tall, has an arm span of only 206CM.
The scouts' impression of Wang Jun is basically that the defender is tall, the forward's weight, and the fat content is excessive.
As a result, he is still not favored by the second draft prediction.
ESPN experts believe he could be drafted midway through the second round, again taking into account nationality.
Columnist Tom Haberstrow said: "Wang Jun is likely to be the fourth Chinese player to log in to the NBA, and as the only outside player in China, he has some commercial value. He showed his shooting in the NCAA and can make a difference in the system. He's young and worth a gamble. ”
Some people even think that Wang Jun is at most the end of the second round, the reason is still physical fitness, and gave an example.
Ginobili was selected in 57 places that year. Another Argentine insider, Scola who has proven himself abroad, was only selected last season in 56th.
Basketball legend Hornacek also gave an interview to the media.
When the reporter told Wang Jun that he was his apprentice, Hornacek smiled brightly. "Actually, I can't talk about any master or apprentice, I just instructed him in some shooting details. He's been playing really well this season, and it's all about his individual efforts. ”
The reporter asked: "Jeff, do you think Wang Jun can play well in the NBA?" ”
'I think he's going to be better than me in the future, he's only 20 years old and everyone who knows him knows how amazing he's improving.'
The reporter asked: "What do you think he will probably be selected?" ”
Hornacek stared at the camera and said seriously: "If I were the manager, I would definitely pick him in the first round, he would have surprised people." ”
Hornacek spared no effort to praise Wang Jun once and help him add points to the draft.
Of course, the Chinese media are unanimously optimistic about Wang Jun, and they also gave two templates. The best template is Ray Allen, and the worst is Hornacek.
Of course, this kind of template doesn't make much sense.
Last year's Rookie of the Year Stoudemire, the best template given by the media was actually Ben Wallace, and the worst template was Jason Collins, which is not called looking away, it is clearly a prank.
Regardless of whether he is optimistic or bearish, Wang Jun decided to respond to all changes with the same, exercise fitness, and strive to become better before the start of the game.
Whatever others say, it won't change his performance on the pitch.
