NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 43 :I’m ready!

Leaving the dimly lit aisle, as soon as he entered the stadium, he didn’t need to look for it deliberately. At first sight, Wang Pan was standing on the sidelines, whispering with the assistant coach Bacon who was the former Jazz summer league coach. Jerry Sloan talking about something.

“The height feels about the same as me, but I don’t know how my personality is?”

Although he has been watching the NBA in his previous life, his favorite team…oh no, his favorite star is not the two evergreens of Karl Malone and John Stockton, so he didn’t pay too much attention to the Jazz. The team’s understanding of Jerry Sloan is limited to his skillful pick-and-roll tactics.

Now that I finally saw the real person, Wang Pan was still a little excited and curious in his heart, and he was still looking forward to it.

As he thought before, with Jerry Sloan’s control over the Jazz, how much playing time he can get on this team this season depends entirely on whether the opponent recognizes his own strength and is willing Use yourself as a high school player…

While he was thinking about this, someone suddenly slapped his shoulder, turned his head, and found that it was John Stockton, this black-bellied old boy looked at himself secretly and secretly: “Behave well later. .”

“En~”

Nodded earnestly, Wang Pan is fighting spirit: “I will let the coach see my training attitude!”

“Forehead…”

His face was stagnant, Stockton remembered Wang Pan’s crazy training state, and he couldn’t help but feel ashamed:

“There is a word in your country called “It’s too late to go too far”. Your training volume is enough and you don’t need to increase it… Oh no, I think you should control it appropriately. After the regular season starts, the schedule will become very dense. , You need to maintain adequate physical fitness.”

“I see…”

Originally Wang Pan had the same idea. There is a game, and the amount of training can be reduced if it is appropriate. After all, the income of the game is much greater than that of your own training. Things like watermelon must not be done.

Seeing Wang Pan accepted his suggestion, Stockton nodded like a child, and stopped talking, walked up to Jerry Sloan and chatted with him, but his eyes were frequent. Look at Wang Pan.

Not only him, but Jerry Sloan also looked over frequently. The calm and calm manner made people totally unable to see what he was thinking.

This makes Wang Pan a little hairy in his heart.

I always feel that the other party wants to see through him…

Fortunately, as the players all arrived on the court, the two no longer always stared at themselves… the first training session of the Jazz for the new season began.

The intensity of training is not high, and it can’t even be said to be training. It’s just that after some warm-up and interesting exercises, the players all started to perform various physical exercises under the leadership of assistant coaches and team staff. Physical examination.

After a holiday, some of the players in the team are obviously blessed, and their state has not been adjusted to the point where they can play. Every time Jerry Sloan sees this situation, Jerry Sloan will be reprimanded loudly. It was so hot that the chubby Ostertag’s face turned pale.

“It’s over, my body shape will definitely be scolded to death by the coach.”

Hearing these words, Wang Pan didn’t know how to comfort him for a while. You are a rookie in the first grade, how could you be so demanding of you, watched him walk over and start testing, and was educated by Jerry Sloan. After the sentence, he walked back quickly, the whole person looked like a survivor, and suddenly felt amused:

“As for…”

“Of course you don’t worry anymore. If you practice so hard every day, your physical condition will definitely not be a problem.” Ostertag murmured.

Without hearing this word, Wang Pan walked straight over, and with the help of the staff, checked his current body data.

In fact, even if it is not tested, he still knows his current situation.

After all, a girl worked tirelessly to help him test every day, and Wang Pan was able to see the results.

What’s more, he also has a system that can know his current physical condition anytime and anywhere.

After some testing, the staff responsible for recording looked at the data on the panel and looked very surprised, and finally looked over with admiration:

“It’s a king, it’s no wonder that you can perform so well in the summer league, the body fat rate is less than 9%, the strength is very good, the speed is also very good… Your current physical condition is very good. , You can play at any time.”

“Thank you~”

Thanks, Wang Pan looked at Jerry Sloan, who was watching his body statistics, while Bacon beside him winked at himself.

The latter blinked. Wang Pan waited for his head coach’s comment. Soon, Jerry Sloan glanced up at the data sheet and looked over:

“Yes, keep it up.”

“I see, coach.” After receiving a positive answer, Wang Pan was also relieved.

“En~”

Nodded, Sloan was obviously not prepared to say anything more. He waved his hand to indicate that Wang Pan could leave, and his gaze was to look at the statistics sheet of Wang Pan again.

Especially when I saw the comment that [physical condition is very good enough to cope with the intensity of regular-season confrontation] in the final evaluation, a flash of light flashed in my eyes, thinking of the previous confrontation between Karl Malone and John Stockton. Suggestions made by myself.

Thinking of the team’s current aging situation, I couldn’t help but raise my head and look at Wang Pan’s back, squinting his eyes and whispering:

“You are only eighteen years old, can you bear this weight?”

Wang Pan didn’t know the thoughts of his coach. After a series of physical examinations, the team announced its disbandment. He stayed as usual and practiced a thousand shots. Ostertag helped him pick up the ball. Follow the pass.

“Wang, do you think I can get a chance to play in the new season?”

Passing the ball over, watching Wang Pan complete the shot, Ostertag asked anxiously.

Looking at the team’s current lineup today, he found that there are two experienced center players, Felton Spencer and Greg Foster, and Antoine Kyle can also play center. I am a rookie in the first grade, I am afraid that he can only be ranked fourth, and may not have much playing time.

“Why do you think so much? Since the team has chosen you, it will definitely send you on the field. The starting line is unlikely, but most of it should be competing with Greg Foster for playing time. Antoine Kyle is only two meters zero. Six, it’s too short to be a threat, so now you only need to find a way to kill Foster.”

Raising his hand to signal the opponent to pass the ball, Wang Pan’s mind also drifted away, thinking about his own situation in the team.

The Jazz Iron Triangle… Carl Malone + John Stockton + Jeff Hornacek, the starting position of these three people will definitely not be shaken, at least it will definitely not change now, so The forward and defender lines are full.

The remaining small forwards and center start positions.

In the center position, according to Wang Pan’s observation and understanding of the Jazz lineup, Fields Spencer will probably occupy the starting position.

As for the position of the remaining small forwards, David Bennott averaged 10+5 per game in both the regular season and the playoffs last season. It should be considered solid, but the player’s physical fitness is relatively average and the ability to confront It’s not too strong. In a league where the intensity of the game is extremely high, playing 25 minutes per game is the limit…

I heard that this season the Jazz is already thinking of a way to trade a small forward player to make up for the shortcomings in this area, so for the time being, it is not clear whether David Bennott will continue to start or the player who may be traded will start. .

Therefore, whether it is Ostertag or Wang Pan himself, the new season will definitely have to come off the bench. In contrast, the competitiveness of Wang Pan may be even weaker, after all, except for the two Iron Triangles. Guard big brother, only Andy Turson and Howard Asley are the guards on the bench.

Competitiveness is relatively average. Wang Pan feels that he has a great advantage and should be the first substitute for the team’s shooting guard position.

However, his eighteen-year-old age is a big obstacle, just don’t know if Jerry Sloan dare to give him more playing time…

This can be seen in the preseason that will start soon. Wang Pan is confident that after Jerry Sloan sees his ability and style of play with his own eyes, as long as the old man is not blind, Or stubborn stubborns who don’t like to use newcomers, should be moved by themselves.

“Slap~”

After catching the ball and shooting, watching the basketball fall into the net, the corner of Wang Pan’s mouth slightly raised:

“I’m ready.”
