Chapter 18 Physical Examination

"30 inches? Not bad, not bad, your vertical jump is pretty good for a center forward."

Joseph nodded and said that it is basically difficult for a big center over [-] meters to have a super bounce, otherwise basketball, a sports guard, would be useless.

"Try your run-up and touch height again, come on, Chinese boy, use your full strength."

"Okay." Tang Qian moved his body back a little, and after leaving a suitable run-up distance, he took a deep breath, then moved his body, and started the impact.

boom.

Tang Qian bowed his body, bent his knees slightly, and then there was a dull stomping sound, his tall body suddenly rose, and after reaching the highest point, he gradually opened his right arm.

"3,35 inches?" Joseph was a little surprised again. After all, this bounce is already comparable to that of the "shark" back then.

But Tang Qian was not satisfied.

He frowned and said, "Sir, can I try again? I didn't perform well just now."

"Abnormal performance?" Joseph was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and asked, "Can you jump higher?"

"Well, I'll give it a try."

After Tang Qian finished speaking, he retreated his body to the distance again. This time he silently lucked out, and after about three or four seconds, he turned around and started.

boom.

Tang Qian's take-off strength this time was obviously stronger than before, so the sound of the soles of his feet hitting the ground also increased a bit at the same time.

"37? 37 inches? That's amazing!"

"Plus your super wingspan, oh my god, you are only 9,10cm away from touching the top of the backboard, so, so unbelievable!!!"

"The height on the spot is more than 12 feet, and it is estimated to be around 380cm. The inside athletic ability is excellent!"

Joseph recorded on the recording board excitedly. While writing, he said: "Chinese boy, go to the bottom line, let's run back and forth from the bottom line."

After asking Tang Qian to test two or three groups, Joseph finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ran back and forth from the baseline for 11 seconds. Although it is an excellent level among big men over [-] meters, it is still an "acceptable" result.

"Chinese boy, do you want to take a break before continuing?" Joseph looked at Tang Qian and said.

"No need, sir, continue." Tang Qian shook his head.

"Okay then." Joseph said: "Let's look at the 3/4 sprint, are you ready?"

"Well, all right."

Joseph blew the whistle, and Tang Qian's body immediately shot out like a bow and arrow, covering 3/4 of the field in the blink of an eye.

"3.20 seconds, quite beautiful! Chinese boy!"

"Is there anything else to test, sir?"

Joseph said: "The last item is the bench press. You orientals have always been weak in strength. I suggest you warm up first and adjust to the best condition before continuing the test."

"No sir, I want to end this test as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, it can be seen that your physical condition is very good. Young people with such physical condition are generally a little proud." After a few words of "chattering", Joseph led Tang Qian to the strength room , he pointed to a barbell that had already been assembled, and said: "That is the standard weight for NBA rookies, 185 pounds bench press, go try it."

Tang Qian nodded. He had heard about this weight for a long time, and he had tested this item specially, so when he was lying on the sports chair, he was quite calm, and his breathing showed no sign of panic.

"Sir, may I begin?"

"Okay, let's start."

As soon as Joseph finished speaking, Tang Qian started to do it in a "balanced and stable manner".

"one two Three……"

When Tang Qian reached No. 18 without breath, Joseph was a little moved. He let go of the recording pen in his hand, looked at Tang Qian, and began to count silently in his heart.

"Twenty, 21, 22..."

"23, 24, 25..."

If, if he could make two more…

"26, twenty... 27..."

"28..."

"29..."

"thirty……"

In the extreme shock of Joseph, Tang Qian's bench press also "fallen the curtain". The former looked at the record sheet in his hand with an extremely weird expression on his face.

"Hey, Chinese boy, I ask you something, you must answer me honestly." Joseph suddenly said in a serious tone.

"Okay, please tell me, sir."

"Did you...have you taken any stimulants before you came here?"

"Stimulant?" Tang Qian was taken aback for a moment, as if remembering something, his face suddenly became extremely cold and he said, "Sir, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I have used forbidden drugs?"

"That's right, that's what I mean, because some of your physical test performances have far exceeded the limits of the oriental race. Even in the United States, few people can reach your level." Joseph did not hide it , admitted directly.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Tang Qian had already removed the honorific words in the face of Joseph, and his whole person slowly became a little fierce.

"Joseph, have you finished the hot physical test data?" Just when the tension between the two of them was about to break out, the front door of the weight room was suddenly opened.

"Huh? Joseph? Hot? What are you guys doing?" The person who came was the head coach of the Los Angeles Defenders, Phil Hubbard.

"That's right, sir. I suspect that this Chinese took banned drugs before coming here." Joseph opened his mouth and said.

"Prohibited drugs?" Phil Hubbard frowned and said, "What evidence do you have?"

"Sir, just look at his physical test data, and you will understand." Joseph handed the recording board in his hand to Hubbard, who took it over and took a look, and immediately understood it.

"Hot, let me ask you, have you taken some kind of banned drug?" Phil Hubbard put down the slate in his hand and asked Tang Qian who was beside him.

"No, sir." Tang Qian said succinctly. If it wasn't Hubbard who asked the question just now, then Tang Qian didn't even bother to defend himself.

Phil Hubbard looked at Tang Qian through the round eyes on the bridge of his nose, and after a few seconds he slowly said, "I believe in you."

"What? Mr. Hubbard, there is obviously a big problem with this physical test data. This kind of level should not be possible for Orientals!" Joseph immediately objected after hearing Hubbard's words.

"Then Joseph, what do you mean?" Hubbard asked calmly.

"My opinion is to let this Chinese kid go for a urine test. If there is no problem with the urine test, then he will be allowed to participate in the next part of the trial training."

"I can go for a urine test, but..." Tang Qian's eyes flickered coldly and said: "If it turns out that I have not taken any illegal drugs, then you must apologize to me, publicly! How about it?"

"Apologize? No, no, why should I apologize to you? I just did what a physical examiner should do, and I don't think it is necessary for me to apologize to you!" Joseph directly refused.

"You insulted me! You even insulted the entire oriental race! Do you think you need to apologize?" Seeing the other party's indifference, Tang Qian said angrily.

"Oh, Chinese boy, I advise you to be more careful with your words. This is the United States, not your poor and backward China. If you continue to talk nonsense, I have the right to directly sue you for defamation!"

"Okay! Shut up both of you!!!" Phil Hubbard stood up and interrupted.

"Joseph, I just said that I believe hot, why, don't you think my words are not easy to use?"

"But Mr. Hubbard..."

"Okay, Joseph, this matter is over. If Tang really took the banned drug, I will let him go without you telling me." Although Phil Hubbard's tone was not serious, But the sense of not allowing the other party to object was beyond words.

"Okay, I see, Mr. Hubbard." Seeing Phil Hubbard's insistence, Joseph could only nod in the end.

"Okay, hot, come with me, your trial training is not over yet." Phil Hubbard said.

Tang Qian followed Phil Hubbard to another miniature stadium. There were three people warming up. Tang Qian scanned, one white and two black.

"Tang, you just came to the United States, so you may not know some rules of our NBDL league." Seeing Tang Qian's attitude of listening, Hubbard continued: "In addition to accepting some NBA players, our NBDL also has its own rules. The draft system, but what Li means is not to allow you to participate in the NBDL draft, but to allow you to participate in another selection mode of the NBDL, the local player trial training mode."

"Local player trial training mode?" Tang Qian was stunned.

"Well, the so-called local player trial training mode means that our Los Angeles defenders can invite up to 5 local players to the team for trial training. If there is a favorite, we can directly select the best and sign them, so that they can quickly join the team. Come." Phil Hubbard patiently explained to Tang Qian.

"So that's the case." Tang Qian nodded, but soon he discovered the problem and asked, "But Mr. Hubbard, I don't seem to be a native of Los Angeles. Then this trial training mode..."

Phil Hubbard smiled and said: "Hot, don't worry, Li has helped me a lot, I can still solve this small matter." He took out a small notebook and said, "This is your identity certificate in the United States. All the records are there. I traveled all over Queens, New York for Li's entrustment, and it cost me a total of 1000 US dollars. "

False, false. Certificate?
A strange feeling rose in Tang Qian's heart, but at the same time, his gratitude to Li Qiuping deepened by three points.

Tang Qian just wanted to pick it up, but Phil Hubbard just waved it in front of his eyes, then took the small book back into his arms and said, "Oh, don't worry, it's hot, I can't give you this thing now, wait Let's talk after you pass all the trials."

"What should I do?" Tang Qian didn't care, because if he couldn't stay in the Defenders, then this "certificate" would be for nothing if he took it himself.

"It's very simple." Phil Hubbard pointed to the front and said with a smile, "You just need to defeat them."

beat them?

If only this...

That's not too difficult.

My American "document", wait for me obediently!

Tang Qiang said.

PS: The NBA rookie's bench press record is 2003 consecutive times held by Jason Keep in 27, but this is not the highest. The strongest bench press of a rookie is in the college training camp, created by a person named Royce White.His record is 185 bench presses at 30 pounds, surpassing Jason Keep's 27 times. However, because it is not an official NBA physical test, this bench press record has not been officially included.

Of course, Xiao Zi also said before that the bench press is just a kind of strength, not all, and the length of the bench presser's arms is also an influencing factor. I believe friends who often go to the gym know this.But the number of bench press is definitely a reliable reference, otherwise the NBA wouldn't have included this item in the annual rookie physical test.

As for the above-mentioned issue of "U.S. certificates", this is not Xiaozi's fabrication, because as early as 2003, "News of the World" reported on Adam Morgan's "certificate market" in the United States.Now, the processing of "documents" in the United States is mainly concentrated in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York.Generally speaking, the minimum cost is only 260 US dollars, and all the work can be done, and the speed is extremely fast, and it can be completed in a few hours. With these "documents", sometimes even the US government can't distinguish clearly. Customs Airport Bank , even more unimpeded.

There is also the "local player trial training mode" above, which is also true, and it is not Xiaozi's random manipulation.
