Bai Qiang agreed to Boss Cai's request and worked hard in order to come back before the playoffs.
In other words, Bai Qiang has no other choice!
Regarding the test items, many trainers including Handy are responsible for it.
Trainers know more about the players' physical condition, and the tests they arrange will be more reasonable.
Boss Cai asked Bai Qiang to conduct tests before his comeback. On the other hand, it was also to check how Bai Qiang's ability was recovering.
If Bai Qiang was determined to come back, his performance after his comeback was a mess.
So what's the point of Bai Qiang's eagerness to come back?
But if the performance is acceptable, Bai Qiang's choice to come back will have more advantages than disadvantages.
The test time before the comeback is tentatively scheduled for May 15th.
Bai Qiang still has one day to adjust and put himself in the best condition to face the test.
Handy found Bai Qiang in the arena and put forward some suggestions of his own.
"Bai, since you are determined to come back, I will no longer stop you. Today, I will mainly tell you about the test items."
As one of the most popular trainers in Magnesia, Handy knows this kind of test well.
Perhaps each player's test items will be slightly different, but they will basically not deviate from the purpose:
Is the player suitable to come back?
As long as the player's relevant data meets the basic requirements, he can come back.
"Phil, good brother!"
If at the wine table, Bai Qiang would definitely say:
Brother, there is no point in talking about this, everything is in the wine, do it!
Unfortunately, the two of them were in the arena at the moment and could only hug and greet each other.
"Bai, generally speaking, the test content includes shooting, attacking with the ball, blocking for rebounds, defense, 3V3 in the half and 5V5 in the full court."
After hearing this, Bai Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. He could still control these projects by himself.
The only thing that would make Bai Qiang breathe a little more is probably getting blocked to grab rebounds.
His abdomen is unable to exert any strength, and excessive physical confrontation will make him unable to withstand it.
But then again, it all depends on who the opponent is.
If the tonnage is not as good as mine, it might be easier.
"Hmm... I think I should be able to handle it and pass the test successfully."
"Bai, do your best and don't create unnecessary trouble for yourself!"
Handy said with a sad look on his face.
He watched helplessly as Bai Qiang tried to jump into the fire pit, but was unable to do anything.
A sense of bitterness came to my heart!
…
May 15, 2021.
Following Handy's advice, Bai Qiang lowered the intensity of training yesterday.
Appropriate relaxation of muscles is more conducive to body recovery.
Today's test is a tough one. As long as you can pass it smoothly, you can come back in tomorrow's game.
Nash gave the players a day off. After all, the training hall was occupied.
However, not all players have taken leave, such as Jeff Green, Claxton, Shamet, and Mike James.
They are players of the Nets' second team, and Bai Qiang also came on as a substitute after his comeback.
In other words, Bai Qiang will play games with them.
Therefore, they need to try a game with Bai Qiang first to understand each other's offensive methods.
Lest he make a big joke during the main game and become the laughing stock of the NBA every year.
The members of the training team are Handy, Ryan Kelly, Tim Cole and Dan Liburd.
They are each responsible for a test content, and finally combine their conclusions to determine Bai Qiang's status.
Guest members present included Tsai Chongxin, Marx, Durant and Mei Xiaoyan.
At Boss Cai's signal, the pre-comeback test officially began.
The first test content, shooting!
Ryan Kelly is mainly responsible for this item, and the content is very simple.
Shot 15 times from the free throw line and 20 times from beyond the three-point line.
Bai Qiang took a deep breath, adjusted his rhythm, and stabilized his mentality.
As long as the inner rhythm does not change much, the shooting feel will not be bad.
Besides, [Chairman Yao's free throw] skill is not for free.
Bai Qiang walked to the free throw line and began to execute 15 shots.
"哐~" The first shot was struck. Is this an ominous sign?
Obviously not, Bai Qiang was adapting to the rhythm, and he was slightly nervous.
"Relax, man! Don't stress, find your own rhythm!"
Durant on the side reminded him.
He still hopes that Bai Qiang will come back. The team needs strong inside players.
Although Griffin is not bad, after all, time is like a killing knife, and the knife makes people grow old.
For professional players, age is a flaw!
Except, of course, outliers like LeBron James.
Therefore, the burden of the team's inside position falls on Durant.
He is a player who has ruptured his Achilles tendon. How can he withstand such torture?
Even the little donkeys of the production team can't stand the tossing!
Bai Qiang caught the ball from the trainer, put the basketball on his chest, breathed, inhaled...
This is the feeling. At this moment, it seems that there is only basketball in Bai Qiang's world.
The ball and the people are united and the world is invincible!
"Pah~" he patted the ball once and took the shot.
"Uh-huh!"
There is no doubt that the basketball sensed the host's needs and hit the ball steadily.
For the next 13 times, Bai Qiang hit the target without hesitation.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
…
Durant nodded, and Bai Qiang basically had no problem with free throws.
In this way, no team on the court will kill Bai Qiang at a critical moment.
Sending Bai Qiang to the free throw line is tantamount to giving points to the Nets.
I'm afraid no head coach would be so stupid, right?
Bai Qiang withdrew from the three-point line and set up an anti-aircraft battery on the outside, ready to launch at any time.
For outside shots, Bai Qiang needs to shoot four balls from the bottom corners on both sides, 45 degrees on both sides, and the top of the arc.
Start in the right corner, shoot two balls from each position, and then finish in the right corner.
"Beep~" Trainer Kelly blew the whistle, and Bai Qiang started his performance.
Strangely enough, a center player also needs to be equipped with three-point shooting ability.
This kind of thing would have been impossible at the beginning of the 21st century, or earlier.
Otherwise, O'Neal, who has no shooting output, will not be able to perform at a dominant level.
I don’t know if I should thank Stephen Curry or blame him?
He marked an era and made long-range shots the main theme of basketball games.
He gave more players with mediocre talent the possibility of breaking into the NBA, such as Trae Young.
He also made the talents of certain players, such as Gobert and Drummond, become a display.
The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom!
"Uh-huh!"
"Bang!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Bang!"
…
Bai Qiang made 10 of 20 three-pointers, basically scoring one goal.
I don’t know if he did it on purpose or if it was fate.
In short, a 50% three-point shooting rate is enough for a center player...
