Yiming Consulting's meeting room.
"I have asked people to investigate. This time it is not the idea of the basketball association to invite you to the men's basketball trial." Yiming continued, "The person who wants you to go to the trial is the national team coach Yuna, and the Basketball Association only cheered the platform of Yunas."
"Yunas? It's him? I met him at Yao's wedding. He can only be regarded as a one-sided relationship. Why did he ask me to try it out? And I am not a basketball player at all!" Zhang Guan then asked, "Have the basketball association said any trial time?"
"It's not there. They don't have a specific time. It's just that it's mainly up to you to choose the right time. After all, the new season of the CBA has begun. The national players are in their respective clubs, and the training base is empty, so you can go any time," He Yiming said.
"Then make time with the men's basketball team!" Zhang Guan said.
"Zhang Guan, wouldn't you be ready to play basketball?" He Yiming pointed to Zhuge Wenbo next to him and then said, "Zhuge has a lot of resources in the United States and knows many big-name sportspeople, maybe he can push you into the NBA!"
"Okay, maybe in a few years, you will see me in the NBA. But there have been no such plans recently. After all, next year is the Olympic year. My priority is to prepare for the Olympics!"
...
A few days later, Zhang Guan came to the men's basketball training center.
"Zhang Guan, welcome!" Coach Yunas personally greeted Zhang Guan.
"Hello, Mr. Yunas, we meet again." Zhang Guan continued, "I didn't expect that I would even participate in the trial training of the men's basketball team! You know, I am not a professional basketball player. Why would you want a non-professional basketball player to participate in the trial training of the men's basketball national team, it is unprecedented!"
"You're right, are you curious?" Yunas said with a smile, "You'll know when you see the video yourself."
Yunas invited Zhang Guan to the office, then turned on the computer and played the video.
"Huh?" Zhang Guan frowned and thought to himself, "This is the day when Yao got married, the day I played the 3V3 basketball, why did it look like a sneak shot? Did the paparazzi secretly shoot at that time? No, It shouldn't be, there were only a few of us in the venue that day if someone else could see it. By the way, I remember, it was Wang Dipeng's DVD machine!"
Sure enough, Yunus's subsequent words also confirmed Zhang Guan's thoughts, "Wang Shipeng told me that it was because Chen Jianghua forgot to turn off the DVD switch, so he accidentally recorded this video."
"It's like this!" Zhang Guan said, "Coach Yunas, so you want to invite me to participate in the trial training?"
"Yes." Coach Yunas nodded, "Through this video, I can see that your speed is fast, your bounce is good, and you know how to break through, your physical talent is simply superb. So I want to know if you have other abilities in basketball, so I sent you an invitation. But I still want to ask first, have you participated in professional basketball training?"
"Professional training is completely new for me, the most I did was playing basketball with classmates in high school." Zhang Guan then added, "You know, I didn't grow up in the domestic traditional athlete system, in 2003, I was an ordinary high school student, and these materials are all available online."
"In the second half of this video, your dribble and breakthrough are very professional. From a technical point of view, it is completely the level of a professional ball guard. No wonder the Chinese people say you are a genius without any professional help. Even without basketball training, you can have this level of dribbling and breakthrough, and the only genius can do it." Yunas sighed.
"Thank you for your compliment." Zhang Guan said.
"Then I want to ask, what other basketball skills do you know? Such as shooting, passing, etc., will you be able to show us something later?" Coach Yunas asked.
Zhang Guan thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Mr. Yunas, I want to make sure first, if I can enter the national team, what are you going to give me?"
"I need your physical talent!" Yunas organized the language and then said, "I need a fast break hand to break the opponent's full-field press and tear the opponent's defense with speed, yes the basket attacks, at least to cause the foul of the opponent. It is better if you can understand the breakthrough of the ball so that you can pass the ball to the outside or Yao. I have been training Chen Jianghua to develop in this direction, but it seems that he has not been able to meet my requirements."
"It sounds not difficult, I think I should be able to do it." Zhang Guan then asked.
"Really?" Yunas widened her eyes in surprise, then said, "I'm sorry, I'm not questioning your ability, I didn't expect you to break the ball."
"No problem, I think my passing level is pretty good, maybe I can participate in the NBA skill contest!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Yunas didn't care about Zhang Guan's sentence, he completely regarded it as a joke, but at this time Zhang Guan had already passed the pass-related skills in the system to the master level.
...
If it is a traditional trial training, there are a lot of projects, and most of the content of the trial training is to test and observe the athlete's physical talent, but the test of Zhang Guan ignores the test of the physical talent. Athletics is a physical exercise, so even Yunas knows that Zhang Guan, the "king of track and field", is the world champion of sprinting, middle running and long jump, whether it is speed, explosiveness, endurance, bouncing, etc. It must be much stronger than the black athletes in the United States. Now the world knows that Zhang Guan's physical talent is terrifying, so this test is directly avoided.
Yunas' investigation of Zhang Guan was mainly carried out from the technical aspects, especially some basic technical actions. And Zhang Guan has not fully demonstrated his ability, he has not yet learned the skills related to the shooting, so Zhang Guan directly indicated to Yunas that he does not know how to shoot, like ordinary mid-range shot, long shot, emergency stop Jump shots, jump shots in sports, etc. are not attempted. Dribbling, passing, breakthroughs, layups, etc., became Zhang Guan's main display items.
"High dribble technology is good, technically it can reach professional level..."
"Low dribble skills are also acceptable, with the level of professional athletes..."
"Emergency stop spiking is good, there is no loss of position..."
"The fast break is very smooth and the ball is well controlled. It's very good to be able to do this..."
"Dribbling the ball is very skillful and coherent. Well, the dribble of the other hand is no problem..."
Coach Yunas's expression gradually became dignified. The initial dribbling moves were only entry-level techniques, but with the deepening of the test, some of the following technical moves are those that can only be made perfectly after professional basketball training.
"Turn around and dribble, beautiful! The timing is very good, the action is done in one go, and it is very sudden, and more importantly, the rhythm of the dribble after the turn is still very good. After this kind of turn and dribble, you can attack immediately!" Coach Yunas commented silently in his heart.
"Perfect! Incredibly, such a perfect turn and dribble appeared on a track and field athlete. Did Zhang Guan have no formal training in basketball?"
