Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Chapter 29 Attracting Attention

(ps: In order to reduce the reading barrier for brothers, all units involved in this book are converted into metric units, such as centimeters, meters, kilometers, kilograms...well, I hate pounds and feet the most.)

"The first item is to measure your static body shape."

Taking off their shoes, the six people stood on the scale one after another, and their height and weight were measured at the same time.

With a height of 203 centimeters and a weight of 89kg, Lian Feng is really too thin.

Subsequently, the staff also used a skin fat ruler to measure the thickness of subcutaneous fat in various parts of Lian Feng, and then used a formula to calculate his body fat rate.

Although this method of measuring body fat percentage is primitive, it is actually more accurate than the resistance instrument. The latter is greatly affected by food, air humidity, body temperature, and even sweat, and the error can even reach ±5%.

Lian Feng took a look at his body fat rate, which was 6.7%, which was a relatively low body fat rate.

Many people have rumors that Jordan's body fat rate is 2%, and they obviously do not understand physiology. When a man's body fat reaches less than 8%, his muscle shape will already look like a sculpture. And with a body fat rate of 2%, the muscle fibers will appear stringy.

, the visual appearance will not be good...like a mummy. And the endurance, strength, etc. will be greatly reduced.

The wingspan is 212.8, which is not much different from the last measurement.

The standing reach is 269.7, which can be regarded as 270.

If you don't look at weight, Lian Feng's other static data are basically the same as those of top forwards and defenders such as James, Wiggins, and Hill.

In comparison, the other 5 people are much inferior.

Except for Lien, Myers is the tallest at 198 centimeters. This height is ideal for playing the No. 2 position, but he happens to be in the same position as Lien, focusing on the No. 3 small forward.

Among other players, only one is taller than 190cm.

In fact, among the players who participate in team trials or joint trials every year, there are not many outstanding players, whether they are static talents or dynamic talents.

Seeing those American players flying into the sky and escaping from the ground on the video will inevitably lead to survivor bias. But in fact, there are nearly a hundred players participating in joint trials every year. How many of them will eventually make it to the first round? How many can make it?

How much? Most people might play one or two games and then be cut.

At least in terms of static talent, Lian Feng is worthy of their envy.

Next, data such as Achilles tendon length and palm size were measured, and Lian Feng was equally good.

However, after all, the stereotype that he is an Asian with poor athletic ability and poor ball-handling skills has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Especially the coaching team did not pay too much attention to Lien Feng at this time.

Only Cheeks knew that Lian Feng was invited to try out because the team management took a fancy to the Chinese market he represented.

The NBA is a business. Some teams value victory and glory, but more teams value attendance and the presence of home sponsors.

According to the instructions of the management, as long as Lian Feng's performance is not particularly bad, he can be given a guaranteed contract. If it doesn't work, he will be transferred to the Development League.

When CAA's representatives negotiated with the management, he was not in place yet, so he didn't know Lian Feng's physical test data yet.

Cheeks had a headache, but the management's decision was something he couldn't change.

I have just coached this team and participated in the 76ers' trial training for the first time, but currently, I can't find any talented players in this trial.

This is the coach's frustration.

After the physical test, they were taken to the next venue for a dynamic ability test.

"Vertical jumping, this is probably not the first time for you to take this test. I won't explain the rules. If you really don't know, ask me again." The assistant teacher glanced around and said, "So, who will be the first to come?

?”

For a while, no one spoke.

Lian Feng thought for a moment and decided that no matter who came first, he was ready to raise his hand.

At this time, the player who had just mocked his "flea leap" took a step forward and said confidently: "Sir, I'll go first!"

As he said that, he looked back at Lian Feng, his eyes seeming to say: "Boy, look at my level!"

Lian Feng felt funny.

Standing at the measurement point, the teaching assistant wrote and drew on the record board, then raised his head and asked: "What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Johnson Hux."

"Okay Johnson, let's get started when you're ready."

Johnson took a deep breath, his expression became serious, squatted down - and suddenly jumped up with all his strength.

"97 centimeters!"

The assistant coach nodded. He had good jumping ability and recorded this data.

Johnson came down proudly and said: "Well... I haven't performed well yet. When I am in good condition, I can exceed 1 meter!"

When he walked next to Lian Feng, Johnson said proudly: "Little Yao Ming, did this jump scare you?"

Lian Feng's expression was calm and he shook his head: "It's quite surprising to me."

"It's good to know that this is not a place for Asians like you. Without absolute height, your poor athletic ability and basic basketball skills are of no use."

Lian Feng laughed and shook his head: "I'm quite surprised. What's surprising is that a short guy like you can only jump to such a small height. You are so short and short, but you can only jump so short on the court.

What can you do? Jump up and sniff the center's underarm?"

While speaking, Lian Feng stood up confidently, "Sir, I will be next."

Only then did Johnson react, and his face suddenly darkened with anger, "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"

Several other people were a little surprised after listening to Lian Feng's trash talk. Not to mention Asian players, even if you look at the United States, there are very few players over 2 meters tall who have a vertical jump of more than 1 meter. Why is he so confident?

Is he really capable, or is he just trying to please others? We will find out soon.

The coaching team was also a little surprised. Cheeks even showed a curious expression, and everyone was watching Lian Feng's jump.

Hmm...you still have to give your run-up bounce some room for improvement.

After thinking about it, Lian Feng sank down, and his body muscles entered the state. Every muscle fiber was ready to go. Following the instructions from his nerves, he jumped high in an instant, waving his arms to maintain balance. At the highest point, his body even

It hovered for a moment.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

"113 centimeters!"

The assistant coach recorded the jumping height and immediately exclaimed in disbelief: "This... is simply incredible!"

Suddenly, Lian Feng's image changed drastically in the eyes of other players, and they all looked at Lian Feng with respect.

This height... and having such excellent jumping is really amazing!

Lian Feng fell to the ground, walked down expressionlessly, and walked to Johnson's side. This time he didn't talk trash, but just looked at him indifferently.

The faces of Johnson and the player who had just mocked Lian Feng turned red, and they almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.

Cheeks remained silent, but his eyes lit up.

It has to be said that just this jump has attracted his attention. It seems that the players who were originally signed based on commercial value can bring him a big surprise?

It can be clearly seen from the physical test data and vertical jump data alone that this player who belongs to the same country as Yao Ming has a completely different style from that giant.

Explosive physical talent... Although it seems that the strength is a little less, you must know that strength can be developed. However, height, explosive power, wingspan and other conditions are not.

Keep reading to see what surprises he can bring you!
