In the following speed and flexibility test, Yang Jian was the most outstanding player again, with his physical fitness overwhelming the other three.
It only took 3.04 seconds for him to sprint 3/4 of the entire court. His explosive power is amazing and he will have a huge advantage during fast breaks. As long as he has perfected his dribbling skills, he will be very sharp in breaking through with the ball. It will be difficult for people who move slowly laterally.
Keep up with his change of direction.
Scherer's 3/4 sprint was 3.27 seconds, which was much worse than Yang Jian. Snow's statistic was 3.29 seconds, which was not fast even if he tried hard enough. As for Lithuanian center Julius Zukauskas,
The maneuverability is simply too poor to look at.
Yang Jian's baseline return running score was 10.58, which was amazing. George Karl took the lead in applauding and believed that Yang Jian was the outside player the Sonics needed.
After several tests, Scherer and his agent looked at Yang Jian with a somewhat unkind look. They felt that Yang Jian would be a strong competitor for playing time in the new season, and Scherer would no longer be a key training target for the team.
George Karl didn't even think about taking care of the emotions of the first-round pick. He just wanted the scouting director to clarify his doubts. "Yang's physical fitness is so strong, but the university didn't get good data. Is it because he can't dribble and shoot?"
Karl has been paying attention to NCAA games and knows that Yang Jian's physical fitness can crush almost all opposing players in college. Many rough guys who are not as physically fit as him have achieved good statistics in the NCAA, as long as they have enough shot rights.
"Big Bug" Rodman, a blue-collar guy who couldn't score in double figures in the NBA, averaged 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds when he was at Southeast Oklahoma State University. Players with top physical fitness faced in college
Ordinary people belong to the dimension reduction attack and can play casually. There is no pressure until the knockout round.
Frank Knox shook his head, also puzzled. "I also wonder why his statistics are so bad. And his agent said he can shoot, not just mid-range shots, but also three-pointers."
Karl became even more curious. "Why doesn't he take more shots if he can shoot? Do you have any detailed information about him in college?"
"No, he was not a star in college. All scouts would not take the time to understand the role players of a weak team. If he had not had no sense of presence when playing at Harvard, his quality should be in the green room waiting for the draft results. We
There was no chance of signing him."
Knox was a little scared. Fortunately, he invited Yang Jian to come for a trial training. Yang Jian would definitely stay if he went to other teams for trial training. If he didn't give him a trial training opportunity, he would be blind. If Yang Jian's performance after joining the SuperSonics
Very good, he has a lot of credit, and this credit is for nothing.
Karl made no secret of his admiration for Yang Jian. "Let him shoot for a while when testing the shooting. As long as he can guarantee his hit rate in open shots, we will sign him immediately without waiting for the summer league to end."
"I have a hunch that he will continue to create surprises." Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Knox feels that Yang can be called "Chinese Jordan" for short, which is still a good gimmick to attract fans.
As long as he gets the contract, he will be the first Chinese player in history to land in the NBA. The league is actively exploring foreign markets, and president David Stern will definitely like Yang Jian.
"Even if he can't shoot well now, he should be able to play some role if he practices hard over the summer." Karl now wants to train Yang Jian. He likes players with super physical fitness. Who wouldn't like that?
After coaching the Sonics, Karl sprayed all his disciples, and the person who got sprayed the least was "Rain Man" Sean Kemp.
He likes Kemp so much. In the parallel world, he said this about Kemp: "You are the best athlete I have ever coached!" "Kemp was the best player in the 1996 Finals, don't @ me!"
The Sonics already have Kemp, a brutal power forward, and they will sign a shooting guard with amazing speed. Karl believes that the team's fast break will be sharper in the new season.
As for Lithuanian center Julius, Karl has already sentenced him to "death" in his heart and will never keep him.
The Sonics' center position is weak, but Karl has not thought about strengthening it. He is a coach who advocates offense. He plays small ball tactics most of the time and does not pay attention to the defense of the penalty area.
Julius, who is 210cm tall and weighs 110 kilograms, is too slow and has a soft style of play, so Karl doesn't like him at all. Julius can represent the SuperSonics in the summer league. If he performs well, other teams will take a fancy to him.
, the SuperSonics are willing to trade the No. 54 rookie.
Yang Jian performed best in all physical fitness test items, so strong that the three players couldn't even think of comparing them.
The four of them did not go to the gym to test their strength, otherwise everyone would be even more surprised. During the rookie physical test, Yang Jian bench pressed 185 pounds 15 times, which was stronger than many inside players.
Then came the shooting test, the staff was responsible for passing the ball, and the four people caught the ball and shot at multiple fixed points.
This time, even agent Oldman was surprised. Yang Jian turned out to be the best performer among the players in the trial. His shooting rate in open shots was not low, and his shots were fast and beautiful.
Yang Jian's mid-range shots from two 45-degree angles and near the free throw line are very accurate, which is his position as head coach this month. He hit three points from the right corner outside the three-point line, 60 degrees from the right side and the middle.
The hit rate is over 50%, and the hit rate on the left side is much worse.
Karl applauded Yang Jian again, thinking that it didn't matter if he was not accurate on the left side, as he could help his teammates open up space by only moving on the right side.
"Good guy, do you applaud me? It seems that I have joined the SuperSonics, and my life will be very good in the future." Yang Jian felt very happy, and kept a serious face, hoping to leave the coaches with a sense of neither arrogance nor impatience.
impression.
He was not satisfied with his performance. He felt that 50% of his long-range shooting percentage during practice was nothing special, not to mention that his overall shooting rate today was less than 50%. It wasn't that he was good, it was that the shooting of the other three was too poor, which made him seem inferior.
good.
In a parallel world, after 2010, a large number of excellent three-point shooters emerged in the NBA. Almost all outside players can practice three-pointers. There are many people who shoot more than 70% in training. However, there is a big difference between training and actual combat. Players shoot during the game.
A 40% three-point shooting rate is very high, and the intensity of the confrontation is high.
Yang Jian's shooting percentage will not be good at all in the future, but this was 1995, and there were very few players who were good at shooting three-pointers. His accuracy could play some role in the game.
Yang Jian's shooting was very poor when he first came through, and he was set as a player with no shooting range. After practicing, he seemed to have successfully stuck a bug in the game, and he improved rapidly.
Because before time travel, his only specialty in playing basketball was shooting. His previous memories were all there, and he knew the correct way to shoot, and his posture was very standard. He only practiced for a month, and his "shooting accuracy" soared from 36 to 52, and his skills "
"Catch and Shoot" has been upgraded from lv1 to lv2.
Facts have proven that it was an extremely wise choice for him to add physical fitness instead of shooting when setting up his role. As long as the players' wrists are not particularly stiff, the shooting percentage can be easily improved, but it is too difficult to improve physical fitness through exercise.
He is rated as a "blacksmith" by the system because he rarely plays the whole game. The more games he plays, the more accurate he will become. He needs to spend some time to get used to shooting under the interference of defenders.
Scherer performed second best in the shooting test, with an average mid-range shooting percentage and basically relying on coverage from beyond the three-point line. He only scored two three-pointers in the middle, one in the right corner, and missed one in other positions.
She is not afraid of not knowing the goods but is afraid of comparing goods. Compared with Yang Jian, Sherer is really embarrassed.
Everyone in the SuperSonics feels that Scherer should not be selected in the first round. It is better to select an inside player. This pick is wasted. His physical fitness is not advantageous in the NBA, and his shooting is worse than the backup swingman in the team last season.
A piece of it.
Data shows that Scherer is good at breakthroughs, but the team does not need him to break through with the ball. This is the job of a star.
Snow could only make do with high-post mid-range shots, and could not shoot three-pointers at all. His expression was ugly, and he felt that he was finished.
In fact, this was expected by the Sonics coaching staff. Snow is a point guard who is good at defense. Scoring was not his strong point in college. His poor explosive power and poor shooting were tolerated by the coaching staff. They wanted Snow to control the game.
There are some expectations for the rhythm ability and defense.
George Karl didn't care much about Snow, and all he could think about was how to integrate Yang Jian into the team as soon as possible and become an immediate combat force. Because Yang Jian has the physical conditions to become a defender on the outside and can also shoot.
He believes that Yang Jian is a genius and believes that as long as he is given time and opportunities to perform, he has the ability to help the team hit the championship in the new season!
