NBA: Top 3D talents to start

???????? The time went back to ten minutes ago.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!

???????? "What are you doing so far away?"

???????? Wang Feng smiled slightly, and did not answer the other party directly, but asked: "Can we start?"

???????? After all, he stood a meter or two away from the three-point line and made a direct shot.

???????? Immediately afterwards, the testers watched in astonishment as Wang Feng hit ultra-long-range three-pointers one after another.

???????? "Swipe...swipe...swipe."

????????Wang Feng was calm throughout the shooting process, and his shooting accuracy was terrifying, which completely subverted the three views of the testers. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it at all. Someone could be so far from the basket. The distance shooting, but also can maintain such a high hit rate!
??????? But in fact, this is Wang Feng's regular range.

???????? In the 94-95 season, it was the season when the league shortened the three-point line from the original 7.25 meters to 6.70 meters. Many teams in the league increased the frequency of three-point shooting because of this, but in fact , They all just turned the long two-pointers that were originally widely used in actual combat into three-pointers in terms of rules.

???????? This rule has benefited the most from Jordan and his last three-peat Bulls.

???????? Throughout his career, Jordan's three-point shooting percentage has remained at 32.7%, which seems to be so-so.

???????? But in the three seasons when the three-point line was shortened, Jordan’s average three-point shooting rate could reach 40%, and he made a total of 589 shots and hit 238 goals, which greatly equalized his three-point shooting. Rate.

???????? You know, in Jordan's entire career, including those two years with the Wizards, he only made a total of 581 three-pointers.

???????? So, excluding the seasons when the three-point line was shortened, Jordan's true three-point shooting percentage was only 28.8%.

???????? This is not to belittle Jordan's three-point shooting ability. At that time, the league teams generally did not pay attention to it, and they were not optimistic about the three-point shooting that had just appeared for a long time. Most people thought Still, the closer to the basket in basketball, the easier it is to score. No top superstar will deliberately practice three-pointers, and even shoot too many three-pointers on the court, and they will be criticized by coaches, media and even fans.

???????? Jordan and the Bulls set a record of 72 wins and 10 losses that shocked the entire league. It was in the seasons when the league shortened the three-point line. In that season, Jordan's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 42.7%. Even better than many defenders' overall shooting percentage.

???????? Not only Jordan, the Bulls also had Pippen who averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game and a 37% shooting percentage, and Tony who averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game and a 40% shooting percentage. Kukoc, and Steve Kerr, who averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game and shot 51.5% from the field.

???????? There are many factors that contributed to the Bulls' 72 wins, iron-blooded defense, tenacious fighting spirit, a little bit of luck, and the skyrocketing three-point shooting rate after the league shortened the three-point line is also one of them Indispensable and important component.

???????? The topic is far away, let's get down to business.

???????? Wang Feng's three-pointers practiced with the modern three-point line of 7.25, and the golden long-range turret badge, with the blessing of a three-point shooting ability of up to 99, has successfully expanded the three-point shooting distance Therefore, even if Wang Feng shoots three-pointers from a distance of nearly 1 meters from the basket, he still has a very high shooting percentage. The gain buff of the badge is superimposed, and his three-point shooting has really reached a terrifyingly accurate level.

???????? In the shooting test, Wang Feng made 100 of 95 shots, only missed 5 shots, and was still nearly 9 meters away from the basket. It is not so exaggerated!

???????? When recording Wang Feng's score, the tester wrote it very hard, because he knew that when he saw this data, the assistant coach would definitely think that he had received a red envelope to help the opponent cheat .

???????? It turned out that Van Gundy really thought so, and he was looking at the testers with a very suspicious look at this moment.

???????? "Jeff, believe me, this is really the result of this guy's test just now. If you don't believe it, you can ask him to take the test again."

???????? Seeing the testers try their best to explain, Van Gundy knew that the other party might not be lying.

???????? According to normal thinking, no one would cheat to such an exaggerated level.

???????? You have cheated, so just keep a low profile and score 60 points in the test and pass it, but you still have to take the test with 100 points. Are you really a fool to be a teacher?

???????? Van Gundy doesn't think testers are fools who would risk their jobs doing something like this, so it's probably true.

???????? But if it's true...

???????? Just thinking about it, Van Gundy gasped.

???????? He continued to look down, the sound of inhaling further.

???????? After the long-range shooting test, there are tests for medium and long-range shooting, close-range layup/slam dunk, passing, dribbling, etc.

???????? During the Knicks' trial training, these tests had detailed scoring standards, and Wang Feng was without exception, passing all of them with perfect scores, and even broke the team's trial training record—— all!
???????? Shocked, Van Gundy couldn't help recalling the words that Larry swore in his mind.

???????? "He's a genius!"

????????? Could it be that this time I really got a treasure?
???????? Thinking of this, Van Gundy couldn't help getting excited.

???????? Wang Feng's position is obviously a small forward, which happens to be what the Knicks lack the most at this stage. If the Knicks can successfully sign Wang Feng, not only the team lineup will be strengthened, but considering the opponent's quasi-caliber The ultra-long three-pointer can even make the Knicks even more powerful!

???????? Thinking of this, Van Gundy couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately went to the office to dial the cell phone of head coach Pat Riley.

????????"beep……"

???????? After a long time, the call was connected.

???????? There was a noisy voice from the other side, and then Pat Riley's deep voice sounded.

???????? "Is that Jeff?"

???????? "It's me," Van Gundy responded immediately. "I estimated the time, you should have just got off the plane not long ago."

???????? "That's right, I just came out of the airport passage." Pat Riley said, "Tell me, what's the matter, if there is nothing very important, you wouldn't deliberately Call me at this time."

???????? "Pat, you guessed it right!" Jeff suppressed the excitement in his heart, but the speed of speech still accelerated involuntarily. "Today, the team has a player for trial training, the Asian guy I mentioned to you earlier who singled out all the top players in Rock Park!"

???????? "Larry went to investigate yesterday and found that the opponent's strength is very outstanding, so he was invited to the team for trial training. Just now his trial training report came out. You can't believe it. Just the physical test In terms of statistics, he is even better than Michael and Grant! And he also scored full marks in all tests including three-pointers, mid-range and long-range shots, passing, layups and dunks! We have found a treasure, This is a gem that has not been discovered by the league, and he must not be missed!"

???????? Excited Barabara said a lot, the telephone receiver in Van Gundy's hand was full of saliva.

???????? On the other side of the phone, Pat Riley was silent for a long time.

???????? "Oh, since you think he has potential, then keep him and give him a ten-day short-term contract, and make a decision after I go back and finish the actual inspection."

???????? With that said, Riley hung up the phone.

???????? Van Gundy was taken aback, and Pat Riley's attitude surprised him a little.

???????? It stands to reason that Pat Riley, who cherishes talents very much, should be very happy after hearing the news. He can get an excellent player without paying any price, and just spend some money. This is as good as a pizza dropped from the sky.

???????? "Pat...he doesn't believe my judgment a bit, does he think I'm exaggerating?"

???????? Van Gundy thought about it, and felt that it was very possible.

???????? For a player from Asia, the physical test report is even better than Michael Jordan and Grant Hill's top talented outside players. Anyone else would think it is too exaggerated.

???????? To be reasonable, if Van Gundy hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it.

???????? But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if Riley believes it or not, first sign a 10-day short-term contract with Wang Feng, and when he comes back from the game tomorrow, Riley will see Wang Feng's shocking performance with his own eyes.

???????? Taking out a template of a ten-day short-term contract from the office drawer, Van Gundy walked out of the office quickly.

???????? While walking towards the stadium, he continued to read Wang Feng's report habitually.

???????? However, when he turned to the last page, a message in bold made him stop suddenly.

???????? "Age... 30 years old?!!"

???????? Van Gundy rubbed his eyes in amazement, and looked again carefully.

???????? That's right, the side report clearly states that Wang Feng's age is 30 years old.

???????? Van Gundy: "..."

???????? He didn't notice the age problem at all before.

???????? Wang Feng is already 30 years old?

???????? It doesn't look like that at all. With reference to his excellent physical fitness, it is completely believed that Wang Feng is only 24 years old. After all, Wang Feng looks quite handsome and he does not look old.

???????? But this 30-year-old is particularly dazzling in Van Gundy's eyes.

???????? Originally thought it was an unfinished piece that might shock the league and even the world. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a veteran who was about to reach the end of his peak before his career started...

???????? Of course, 30 years old is not considered a veteran, but usually this age group has played in the league for at least 5 years and has a wealth of game experience.

???????? But at the age of 30, Wang Feng has never even played a game in the NBA, and he has never even appeared in a professional arena, at least in Van Gundy’s view, because there are no regular players in Asia or China. commercial competition.

???????? Even if the Knicks signed Wang Feng, it still needs at least two or three years of training and running-in.

????????"This……"

????????...

?????????? Larry was still watching Wang Feng shoot from the sidelines. Seeing Wang Feng's shooting ability almost flawlessly, the more he watched, the more delighted he was.

???????? All of Wang Feng's performances were flawless, with no obvious shortcomings in any aspect.

???????? Till now, Larry still doesn’t understand what kind of growth environment is capable of cultivating Wang Feng’s all-round God of War. He is looking forward to it. The league sees such a “monster” suddenly parachute into the NBA. , What kind of a stir will it cause.

???????? "Larry, come here."

???????? Just then, Van Gundy's voice sounded behind him.

???????? Larry turned his head and saw Van Gundy with an uneasy face standing at the entrance of the training ground and waving at him.

???????? "Jeff, what's wrong?"

???????? Larry walked over and asked.

???????? "Larry, this Wang Feng is already 30 years old, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

???????? Van Gundy asked with a serious expression.

???????? Larry: "..."

???????? At this moment, ten thousand grass and mud horses rushed past his heart.

???????? He had deliberately stopped Wang Feng outside the arena ahead of time and asked about his age. Why did Wang Feng report his age truthfully?
???????? As a senior scout, Larry certainly knows the importance of a player's age.

???????? At this time, facing Van Gundy's questioning, he had already scolded the honest Wang Feng in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be very surprised.

???????? "What? Wang Feng is already 30 years old? Impossible? Judging by his appearance, he is at most 26 or seven years old. How can he be so old?"

????????? Rolled a glance at Larry, Van Gundy didn't bother to BB with this old fritter.

???????? It's useless to say anything now, and even if Wang Feng is really 30 years old, Van Gundy will still keep Wang Feng temporarily, because the talent he has shown is too strong, it is totally worth giving Wang Feng a chance .

????????? From the very beginning when I thought I was ecstatic to meet a top-notch Maverick to now knowing that the Maverick is actually an old bull, the feeling of suddenly falling from the clouds makes me very uncomfortable.

???????? This is like someone telling you that you have won the 500 million jackpot, and then when you are ecstatic, they suddenly tell you that they got it wrong, your prize is not 500 million, but It is 50.

?????????50 is actually a lot, but imagine, if you were the person involved, how would you feel after hearing the news?
????????? Will you be happy because you won the 50 grand prize, or feel unhappy or even annoyed because you won’t win 500 million?

???????? The vast majority of people in this world may be the latter.

???????? Van Gundy is also not exempt, so he is in a bad mood now.

???????? "Jeff, you will not sign Wang Feng just because he is 30 years old?"

???????? Larry looked at the displeased Van Gundy, and suddenly became a little anxious. "Even if you are 30 years old, with his talent, you should understand his value, right? The Knicks keeping him is definitely a guaranteed deal!"

???????? "I know." Van Gundy said angrily: "I just talked to Pat on the phone. According to his intention, the team will first sign a ten-day short contract with Wang Feng. After the team returns from the away game, the head coach will personally inspect Wang Feng, and then decide whether he can stay with the team."

???????? "Then... that's okay." Hearing this, Larry was relieved a lot.

???????? As long as he can stay, he believes that Wang Feng's performance will definitely impress the entire Knicks coaching staff, age is not a problem at all.
