Chapter 3 Physical Test
"You're here? Are you still adapting to your new college life?"
Travis Ford came up with a warm look. In fact, it has been a week since Oklahoma school started, and today is the first day for the basketball team to start warm-up training. The training time is set at 9 a.m., but Cao Xiaochuan was half an hour late. Although the specific reason is that Cao Xiaochuan, who just came to the school, had no private car and misjudged the distance, was late, but the coach didn't care about so many. If it were other players, Travis Ford had to punish him well. He was late as soon as he registered. Isn't this challenging his coach's authority? He couldn't explain to other players if he didn't make any trouble.
But Cao Xiaochuan is not an ordinary player after all, and he is the absolute core of his own university's future. Although the University of Oklahoma is a famous school with a history, it is not as good as the field of NCAA basketball. The championship is dating back to the last century. In recent years, there is only one player with a little more famous name, Blake Griffin. After the White Warcraft entered the NBA, the Oklahoma Cowboys' performance plummeted. Now they have finally invited Cao Xiaochuan, and their attitude towards Cao Xiaochuan is naturally clear at a glance.
As long as you can lead the team to achieve results, as long as you don’t shit and pee on our heads, you can do whatever you do, don’t be late for training, even if you don’t come!
"Yes, coach Ford, but I think I should be late, right? What's the punishment for your team?"
When Cao Xiaochuan saw this old white man who was too enthusiastic, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, thinking that this old guy could be a dead rabbit, right? Although he was not so handsome, his whole face and facial features were also considered the most handsome among Asians. Many people confessed to him in high school. Of course, there were girls and boys among the people who confessed, which was a bit scary.
"We have regulations on our team, but those regulations are not prepared for you. You are a privileged player in our team."
When he said this, Travis did not deliberately lower his voice, so that the black and white players who had already sweated heavily on the training ground could also hear his words. This group of his future "players" immediately cast an unhappy look at him, and at the same time, Cao Xiaochuan frowned slightly.
This coach is very scheming. He deliberately said this and made himself the target of public criticism. Of course, Travis did not harm him. He knew that no matter how famous he was before, the players in the team were unlikely to obey him. First, because of his Chinese identity, and second, because he was just a first-year rookie who had just arrived. Even if the coach and the team executives said that he would be the core of the team, if he didn't show off, those players might not buy their own accounts.
There is no way, this is the confidence of Americans. Although they also admire the strong, they are basically the ones who are "higher than the sky and thinner than paper". If you want them to be completely convinced, you have to rely on real talents. Americans with simple minds will not eat your empty tricks.
The coach now said this on purpose, in order to provoke the fires of these Americans, and then create opportunities to put out the flames one by one. Although Cao Xiaochuan feels like he is a little bit used as a gun, he is willing to accept it if he can solve the problem so simply.
"If you want, why don't you do a physical test with you now?"
"Okay, no problem."
Physical test is a test that every newcomer must conduct after coming to the team, or it is the most intuitive way to see a player's talent. Generally, players will conduct physical tests first, and then the team will consider whether they want to accept the player. However, big names like Cao Xiaochuan seem to have the privilege to advance and then test, because the talents of players like them are visible to the naked eye by watching the game, and they can only make a general idea without the need for precise instruments.
However, after Cao Xiaochuan conducted a series of tests, the data obtained still surprised everyone present. Travis Ford actually had a physical test data written by a scout, but when compared with his freshly released book, Travis Ford suddenly had the urge to fire the scout. How much amateur scout can write this report that is so different from the actual situation?
Cao Xiaochuan is 1.92 meters tall, weighs 190 pounds, and has an arm span of 2.10 meters. Well, Travis believes that just publishing these data is enough for Cao Xiaochuan to reserve a position in the lottery show. If he cooperates with his shooting and ball players, Cao Xiaochuan will be enough to enter the top five of the draft even if he doesn't play in a college league.
First of all, 1.92 meters tall is a tall and large guard even if it is placed in the NBA-level point guard. Secondly, 195 pounds of weight can also blind everyone's eyes. Cao Xiaochuan is thin. If it weren't for the wrong weighing machine, others would never have thought that this little guy would have a strong body. You should know that the little emperor LeBron James is only 2.03 meters tall and about 240 pounds tall. As the point guard, Cao Xiaochuan can actually grow a height and weight ratio that makes people jealous and crazy. Moreover, his body fat rate must be terrible, otherwise he would be a little fat man with a weight of nearly 200.
The last thing that goes against the sky is his arm span. So players with an arm span of more than 15 cm in the NBA are famous long-handed monsters. The most famous one is Rondo. With a height of 185, his arm span is 213 cm, which is 28 cm taller than his height. Although Cao Xiaochuan's height and arm span are only 18 cm apart, it is also a rare occurrence among NBA players.
More importantly, Cao Xiaochuan has not yet developed completely and has not undergone professional and scientific training. He can still look a little more abnormal. Travis found that he could no longer predict where the opponent's limit was. He worked as a basketball coach at the University of Oklahoma for 6 years. He thought he had seen many players with extraordinary physical talents, but no one could compare to Cao Xiaochuan he met now. This guy seemed to be the son of basketball carefully created by God who was born for basketball.
Bounced 85cm in the spot, jumped 105cm in run-up, 90kg bench press 5 times, ran back and forth in the penalty area for 10 seconds, and sprinted 2.99 seconds in 3/4. Travis and his assistant coach Jack looked at each other. Both of them could see the incredible in the eyes of each other. At the same time, seeing this physical test data, Travis believed that Cao Xiaochuan had really not received any systematic basketball system training. He could play a series of amazing data in the high school league. He was completely dependent on his physical advantages to do it. Otherwise, if he had a little basketball quality, it would be normal to have his body that could at least score a 451,515 average per game. 291011 was really abnormal for him.
Travis silently tore the scout report in his hand to pieces. The best template for Cao Xiaochuan was given on it was Jason Kidd, but now Travis already doubts the professional ethics of this scout. Jason Kidd is obviously Cao Xiaochuan's worst template. If he trained himself well and added Cao Xiaochuan's football business online, he could have reached the height of the magician Johnson back then.
"We really found a treasure this time. The outside world knows that he is very good, but in the face of this physical test data, it is obvious that he is still underestimated."
