last super center

Chapter 51
worst day ever!
It was a year of great changes for the Huaxia men's basketball team. The older generation of stars retired, and the new generation of players stood on the stage, ushering in a year of change. A man who returned from the United States and won the NCAA championship gave these boys a good performance. Lesson, let them know what is called real basketball!

They were humiliated that day, they were beaten to the point of blood, stripped of their clothes, and completely presented their tiny side in front of everyone.

No one can escape his clutches!

It's hard to imagine how terrifying an insider who can single-handedly compete with everyone is, just like him in the NCAA arena, playing full consecutive games and running wildly all over the field, but he still doesn't feel tired.

A group of young national players lost to the same person in a one-on-one match that lasted all morning. Every player was defending their dignity.

Su Mu is like a demon manipulating people's hearts, pushing them into the abyss again and again, making them lose their dignity and taste the taste of failure.

One by one, the Chinese men's basketball team who participated in the training camp, under his tempering, finally ushered in some changes.

On the basketball court, the strong are respected!
With one enemy against many, let one win the victory. They are worthless, but it doesn't mean they are hopeless.

Rarely, everyone no longer complained, but from that day on, the training intensity suddenly increased.

Six o'clock in the morning, a familiar time.

When Su Mu was walking under the familiar night sky with his luggage on his back as usual, the soil from the flower planter was fragrant, and matched with the sweetness of the rain and dew in the early morning, this morning was a good time to redouble his training!
Familiarly, he pushed open the door of the training hall. It was different from the scene when he first arrived. At that time, Su Mu was alone, and behind him stood Zhou Qi, who loved to eat egg pancakes. Energetic and ready to face the upcoming challenges.

"Are you sure you want to train with me in the future?"

Su Mu asked with a playful tone.

Zhou Peng, Ding Yanyuhang, Wang Zhelin, Guo Ailun, Zhou Qi.
Familiar faces appeared in front of Su Mu. He never expected that these guys would wake up so early.

It will take about half an hour to wash up, tidy up your makeup, and bring the necessary supplies. The Chinese men's basketball team who got up at 05:30, Su Mu swore that he had never seen such a diligent national player.

"Stop talking nonsense! Is it interesting that you are still mocking us? I only found out after I challenged you that my self-confidence is just blind arrogance. In the final analysis, I am too weak!" Guo Ailun, although he looked dumb Yes, but in the face of opponents stronger than himself, he will never be stubborn.

He rarely faced opponents in the NCAA, and he couldn't even score effectively in the hands of Su Mu. This was a huge blow to him.

You know, as the No. [-] player, Su Mu, who is attacking the No. [-] position, can take advantage of his speed and rhythm to attack no matter what. Even if he loses, he won't be so embarrassed.

As a result, Su Mu's horror made him realize that the gap with the world's best players is quite huge!
"Xiao Mu, I heard from Dayao that you love training very much. Before going to the United States, you even pestered him to train crazily for a month, but what I didn't expect was that you would be so self-disciplined, unshakable, and come on time at six o'clock every day. Go to the training hall to improve yourself."

"Sure enough, all outstanding people have their reasons!" Zhou Peng, as the oldest player in the team, took off his clothes and started shooting training without saying a word.

Learning from others, in the one-on-one fight with Su Mu, everyone realized their own deficiencies, made up for what was lacking, and started targeted practice.

Basketball is not just blindly swallowing jujubes. On the basketball court, you don’t have so many opportunities to show yourself, do your job well, and maximize your advantages. No matter what, there will be a place for you.

Want to be a generalist?
Then you just say, you want to be an All-Star player and forget it.

Putting aside everything unnecessary, what is the purpose of the training camp?
Crazy training, self-improvement!
After a whole day of high-intensity practice, Su Mu yelled for two more hours after the end. The national players left the gymnasium silently carrying their small schoolbags.

I'm here to improve, not to die!
People, it is important to have self-knowledge, don't be blindly confident, not every player can be like you.

"Perverted, it's too perverted, he's crazy, but I'm not crazy!"

"Could it be that the players in the United States all use this kind of suicidal training method?"

"What time is it? I have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow. If I don't have enough sleep, how can I guarantee the quality of training the next day?"

"If I'm like Su Mu, then I might not be able to hold on for a week."

"As far as I know, Dayao was tortured terribly by him during that month."

After seeing Su Mu's extremely hard training, no one doubted where this guy's strength came from.

"Zhou Qi, you know him best, was he like this before?"

Guo Ailun asked Zhou Qi.

"It's almost the same, but it's not like it is now. In one year, he has changed so much!"

Zhou Qi sighed a little, professional basketball player, one year is enough to change everything, one year of growth is enough to subvert people's cognition.

But not everyone can have extremely abundant physical fitness like Su Mu.

Even in the NBA, he is the top echelon.

Su Mu expressed his understanding that the physical fitness of the yellow race itself takes longer to recover. It is a challenge for them to start training at [-] o'clock in the morning. If they continue to train at night, their physical condition will be absolutely There will be problems, and your health will be affected accordingly, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But no matter what, on the road of basketball, hard work can make up for one's weakness. When everyone has similar talents, who can become better? Only training can know the final answer.

A week later, Su Mu got to know the players in the training camp thoroughly. Who wouldn't want to have a big Buddha inside when he was on the court, and his playing comfort could be improved several levels.

In addition, everyone began to take turns to fight Su Mu one-on-one. Under the strong defensive pressure, there will be some technical improvements. Although Su Mu's defensive level is not up to the level of the top NBA stars, he is still far away from the pyramid. Not far off.

Waiting for the opening of the Incheon Asian Games at the end of September, so that this group of people can continue to maintain this kind of training intensity, without arrogance or rashness, and more than four months are enough for them to complete a certain degree of transformation.

At least in terms of confrontation, there will be absolutely no disadvantages!
When the time came to May 5th, NBA officials began to build momentum for this year's NBA draft, and the joint trial training officially began. Every player who has the opportunity to enter the NBA will participate in this joint trial training.

What is a joint trial training?

To put it simply, the NBA joint trial training is a recruitment fair for draft players.

The joint trial training led by NBA officials is held in May every year and lasts for several days. It is an important appearance for draft players before the start of the NBA draft in June, especially for draft players who have average draft prices and have not received team commitments.

These include group workouts watched by team executives, coaches and scouts and open to the media, as well as individual interviews.

According to the NBA's official announcement, this year's joint trial will last for three days and will be held in Chicago.

The content of the trial training is varied, mainly testing physical fitness, shooting ability and confrontation.

These include height, wingspan, touch height, palm length and width, bench press, back and forth running, multiple shots and actual combat ability against games.

The results of these tests may appropriately affect the players' draft prices. For this reason, players will also choose to "strengthen their strengths and avoid weaknesses" and refuse some tests that may expose their shortcomings.

It is a pity that no Chinese player has received an invitation for joint training, which also means that this year, except for Su Mu, no Chinese player will log into the NBA.

There is no way, the shortcomings of these national players are too obvious, and they are still on the rise, and they cannot meet the minimum requirements of the NBA game.

of course!

For this kind of trial training, Su Mu chose to refuse without hesitation. Not only him, but also Andrew Wiggins, Embiid, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon and many other popular rookies did not participate in this training session. tryout.

To put it bluntly, it is a recruitment fair for draft players. To put it bluntly, it is a group of players who may lose the draft to fight for their own chances to enter the NBA.

Such a trial training job fair is completely unnecessary for talented players to participate in.

They will receive separate invitations from the team to prepare trial training grounds for these popular rookies. The number of people is very small, but the chance of being selected is very high.

This is the difference between individual trial training and joint trial training. The result of joint trial training does not have much impact on the player's draft position.

In 2016, Zhou Qi was praised for his physical condition when he participated in the joint trial training, and after the joint trial training, he participated in the separate trial training of the Celtics, Suns, Clippers and Grizzlies, but it was considered possible before. Zhou Qi, who would be selected in the first round, was not selected by the Rockets until the second round with the 43rd overall pick.

On the contrary, Wang Zhelin, who went to the United States to recover in the same year, kept silent about the draft and did not participate in the trial training, was selected by the Grizzlies in the second round with the 57th overall pick.

Regardless of the physical talent considered in the draft, the agent is as important as the agency.

Qualified agents will greet their favorite teams in advance and arrange individual individual trial training sessions for players to ensure the final draft ranking.

Xia Song, a well-known Chinese basketball agent, used to operate Wang Zhizhi and Battelle to enter the NBA, and Xue Yuyang, whose ability was not widely recognized at the time, was selected by the Nuggets in the second round in 2003.

Yao Ming made an exception in 2002 and made the first trial training for a player alone in NBA history.

In 2007, Yi Jianlian was selected with the sixth overall pick in the first round even when he did not participate in confrontation training. Everything shows the importance of agents.

Su Mu is full of confidence in himself. With both talent and strength, Su Mu has no reason to worry that he will lose the election.

However, related draft operations still need to be done. Su Mu, who had already contacted Xia Song, a consultant of the Basketball Association, finally decided to only select his favorite team for trial training, and not to go to other teams.

When the 2014 lottery draw ended, the Cleveland Cavaliers won the No. 76 pick, the Milwaukee Bucks won the No. [-] pick, and the Philadelphia [-]ers took the last train and were lucky to get the No. [-] lottery.

Who is the champion?

When the dust of the lottery ceremony settled, everyone's concern changed from the lottery to the selection of candidates.

Su Mu is still Wiggins, or the former genius Jabari Parker.
It was an extremely difficult choice, especially the comparison between Su Mu and Wiggins. Both of them played extremely well at the University of Kansas. One dominated the inside and gave everything in the paint. , this is tantamount to a big problem for the Cleveland Cavaliers who hold the No. [-] pick!
Considering the current lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will never choose guards when they have Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving.

Inside center, Anderson Varejao, Tyler Zeller, Andrew Bynum, Kristan Thompson
To be honest, their inside reserves are also very rich, and it makes no sense to continue to choose to supplement inside under such circumstances.

On the contrary, their strikers are extremely scarce, and only Ruhr Deng is more powerful. You can't count on Bennett, one of the top picks in history, right?
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers have a very high probability of choosing a striker, Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins have a higher probability of being selected as the first pick than Su Mu.

But considering the way James flirts with the Cavaliers, those teams that are eager to get certain players are likely to have large-scale transactions during the transaction.

So, at what pick will Su Mu be selected?

This issue has become the focus of Chinese fans.

Milwaukee?

Philadelphia?

Or the Orlando Magic with the fourth pick and the Utah Jazz with the fifth pick?
Before the draft, Su Mu received individual trials from the 76ers, Celtics, Lakers and Suns. There is no doubt that these are teams that are rebuilding. They need to select the core of the future to help the team return to the top!
The trial training situation was very optimistic, and the general managers of several teams expressed great interest in Su Mu.

But in the end, none of the teams gave a definite attitude. They didn't want to expose their thoughts too thoroughly. When everything became clear, it meant that there was no room for it.

At this time, the management of each team has a lot of heart!
When everything became confusing, no one could guess which team Su Mu would end up joining.

And amidst this speculation and anxiety, the 2014 NBA Draft was held on June 6 in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, USA.

The draft will be broadcast live to 203 countries and regions around the world through ESPN TV station in the United States.

That day, Su Mu put on a handsome suit and sat in the small green room early.

Blowing on the air conditioner and crossing his legs, Su Mu was quietly waiting for the final fate!

The rare leisure was soon broken by a familiar voice.

"Fuck! Su Mu, you uncle, you didn't even contact me when you came to the United States. I haven't seen you for more than two months. Is it because your relationship has faded?"

Turning his head, he suddenly saw Embiid walking towards him with a smile
