Section 11 Philadelphia Trials

"He's here?" Xinji put down the phone in his hand and saw his assistant who was sent to pick him up, standing in front of him.

"Yes, he is here and has been warming up for twenty minutes." After hearing the assistant's concise answer, Xinji immediately stood up and walked towards the door. After the person standing on Xinji's side reacted, he immediately

Followed.

…………

…………

"In area four, the one who is warming up for shooting is Yang."

"The person standing waiting in Area 1 is his agent, Benjamin Armstrong." While the two were going downstairs, the assistant told his boss everything he knew.

"Welcome, Benjamin" opened the door of the training hall, and Hinkie began his "big show":

He walked quickly in the direction of Benjamin Armstrong and stretched out his arms at the same time.

Although he was a little puzzled, Benjamin Armstrong quickly came to his senses and immediately came forward to greet him.

"Long time no see, Sam."

After some casual pleasantries, Armstrong, as an agent, began to sell the product.

"Sam, aren't you looking for a cornerstone player? I believe Young is your choice. He can not only score on the court, but also take care of the emotions of his teammates. He will also take the initiative when he loses. He has leadership qualities.

, shouldn’t you make a decisive commitment?”

"Let's test it first. I want to see how his physical condition is. Smith is preparing the equipment." As Young's warm-up ended, Hinkie turned and gave instructions to the young assistant waiting aside.

Looking at the machine that Smith moved, Yang thought that he had kept three years of data on the data website and wanted to do it completely.

"Height 2.11 meters." This answer surprised everyone on the court, because Young himself admitted this height after playing against North Carolina in December last year.

"Weight 114 kilograms (253 pounds)" When Smith shouted this answer, the 76ers staff present all looked at Young.

"I played power forward in my junior year."

"Besides, this weight cannot affect my speed." Faced with the small trouble of weighing 114 kilograms, Yang completed the explanation very calmly.

The difference in wingspan between his "2285 wingspan" and his height of 1, as well as his excellent mid-range characteristics, made Samhinki finally understand why the media gave him such a template.

"34 sprints... 307 seconds!!!" A forward weighing 114 kilograms can be as fast as a small guard, which really shakes Smith's view of basketball.

"Standing reach 285." With a height of 2.11 meters, the standing reach data is surprising.

"Bounce on the spot is 825, jump on approach is 103." Listening to Smith's rough shout, Hinkie silently made a mental evaluation of his excellent athletic ability.

Although satisfied, Hinkie didn't say a word and instead sent a look to Smith.

After completing a simple physical test, Young was taken to Area 3 by Smith, who had already completed preparations:

"After shooting twenty-five balls in one minute, you can start from any corner."

"OK, start from the bottom right corner."

"Shua"

"Shua"

"clang"

"Shua"

"Shua"

…………

With the last ball in the left corner falling firmly into the net, Young scored 24 goals in a 25-goal test.

"Good shot. Let's take a two-minute break and try again! This time from left to right." Although Young shot quickly and accurately, Hinkie decided to let Young try again.

After all, anything can happen with a three-point shot.

"good"

After the staff put the 25 balls back into the cart, Young, who was standing in the left corner, started to move

"Shua"

"Shua"

"Shua"

…………

After warm-up exercises and the previous round of testing, Yang, who had completely found his hand, began his crazy performance:

How can I invest?

52 seconds later, as the last ball hit the net, Young made an appalling shot:

25-for-25 from the field.

"You are outstanding. It seems that you are one of the candidates for the future three-point contest." Xinji finally praised with satisfaction.

"Thank you for the compliment, let's move on to the next one!" Although he wanted to express his pride, Coach K once said to him: all body language on the field will be over-interpreted, so Yang quickly retracted his lips and became

Be humble.

After completing the shooting test, the 76ers immediately arranged to test Young's ball ability:

………

………

After training in tennis control, the first item of the ball test: holding the ball over obstacles, naturally did not cause any trouble to Yang, and he completed it with ease.

After completing the first test, he was taken back to Area 4 without stopping.

This time, Area 4 was completely different from when he warmed up. On the originally empty floor, there were now dozens of passing ball frames used in the All-Star Skills Competition. They were distributed in a scattering pattern, making it impossible for Young to do anything.

Qing, what should I take the test next? I can only look at Smith.

"Listen to the instructions in front and pass the ball as quickly as possible."

"ok"

"On the left side, the farthest end is close to the bottom corner." Yang, who was standing at the far right end of the center line, couldn't help curling his lips after hearing this bizarre shout. He couldn't pass the ball in actual combat, so he actually wanted to take the test?

Then play with them!

With a fierce swing of his right hand forward, the ball in Yang's hand was shot out like a cannonball; after the ball with high-speed rotation flew for a period of time, he used the ground to stop the car in time, not far from the box.

, bounced up

The force of the bounce was just right, and although the ball didn't fall out of the bag smoothly, it still went in.

Since the second designated passing basket is at the top of the key, Young was also pulled inside to pass the ball.

In order to prevent embarrassing things from happening, he stepped inside from the three-point line and deliberately tested the distance required to pass the ball.

Since he had already made preparations, Yang no longer had any worries when faced with this unfamiliar type of pass. After getting the ball, he threw the ball back casually.

A very beautiful and accurate shot came out, and the 76ers staff on the sidelines burst into warm applause.

"Pass from 45 degrees from the right to the left corner."

"Pass from the left 45 to the right corner."

"Assigned to corner from legitimate collision zone."

"Pass the ball directly from the top of the key to the weak side corner."

In the next nearly thirty minutes, Aker's passing route showed Young in the form of a passing frame.

…………

…………

"Do you need to make arrangements to go to other trials?" As the trial ended, Young and Armstrong got on the bus to the Philadelphia Airport.

"No need, they have no reason not to choose me." Young is very confident that he can impress the 76ers today.

"So confident?" The agent also started to joke.

"Of course, the passing training is to test my ability as a yaker. Shouldn't you select me? Select Russell as the No. 1 pick? That would make me laugh for decades."

"Then let me help you inspect the house?"
