Forty-yard dash, 4.79 seconds; twenty-yard dash, 4.42 seconds; three-cone circle, 6.88 seconds; vertical jump, 31.5 inches; standing jump, 108 inches.
The above is Lu Ke's latest physical test data. Such results, compared with Colin Kaepernick, are still slightly behind, let alone compared with those first-round picks, it cannot be considered amazing.
But there is no doubt that this is enough data for a quarterback to be drafted in the fifth and sixth rounds. Coupled with the passing ability and Fonderrick's perfect score in the test, the draft round will be upgraded to the fourth round or even the third round. Wheel, it is not impossible.
The most amazing thing is that compared with five and a half months ago, Lu Ke's data in the rookie training camp has made comprehensive progress!
In just half a year, the physical test scores have been improved? Stimulants, this is the most direct conditioned reflex in everyone's mind. No wonder Jim asked this question just now. But after Bobby rejected this conjecture, everyone gradually realized: How much sweat did Lu Ke put in during this period, and how hard did he train to get to where he is today?
Involuntarily, his eyes were cast towards the "No. 11, Alex Smith" on the court.
Standing on the field, the No. 11 still did not relax and passed the ball meticulously. After completing a thirty-yard pass in a row, he was now trying a forty-five-yard pass.
The coaching team, headed by Jim, watched intently. The first pass was hit; then the second, the third... after four consecutive hits, he finally missed one and hit the edge of the frame with a "bang" and bounced out; but he still There was no panic, and two more passes were made in succession, and the third one was lost again.
No. 11 stopped passing the ball, stood there, did simple stretching exercises, and began to relax his arm muscles.
"Before this, for thirty-yard passes, twenty-for-twenty passes were made." Bobby's voice of explanation came over, and everyone suddenly realized.
It is precisely because the previous pass consumed a lot of physical energy that the accuracy of the 45-yard pass began to decline. In a game, a traditional pocket quarterback may pass the ball as few as twenty times or as many as fifty times. During training, the number of passes is of course higher, but the accuracy of the pass is inevitably affected by the problem. Muscle fatigue and decline.
Bobby's explanation is not over yet, "The previous pass within ten yards, 19 out of 20 passes; the pass from ten to twenty yards, 17 out of 20 passes."
In other words, Lu Ke has conducted 60 passing trainings before and after, and only missed four passes in total. Under such circumstances, the 45-yard long pass was still six out of eight. The precision and control are truly outstanding.
Not only Jim and others, Bobby also obviously noticed Lu Ke's passing skills, and couldn't help but pay more attention to it. Only then could he know everything about him. Although there were three quarterbacks training on the field at this time, no one could take their eyes off the figure of No. 11. Even the simple yoga movements he was relaxing in seemed to be full of mystery from the East.
Mention China, Kung Fu, Chinese medicine (or herbal medicine), multi-ethnicity, population, and...mystery.
"Do you think he knows Chinese Kung Fu?" Kip said in a confused manner. Under the current situation, there was a sense of joy that was out of place. However, no one laughed out loud, but seriously began to think about this possibility.
There was silence on the sidelines for a while, and no one spoke. It was unclear whether they were observing other quarterbacks training or lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly, Bobby's voice rang like a bell, interrupting other people's thoughts, "This group's training is over for the time being. Let's move on to the next group, which is also a passing training."
Jim's eyes still stayed on No. 11, struggling slightly and feeling a little impulsive.
Today is just the first day of trial training. Next, they will conduct comprehensive tests and inspections; if necessary, they can even leave a few candidates to train with the team, and then conduct several training sessions within the team. Game, further investigation. Even with the backup quarterback, they must not be sloppy.
But the problem is that there is less than a week left before the preseason, and every day I feel a mountain-like sense of urgency. There is really not much time left for the team.
Jim Harbaugh is a decisive coach with a distinctive style, sharp personality, hot temper, resolute action, and what he says. As a player, he offended a lot of people and often bickered with reporters; later he became a coach, even more so. He was tough-minded and made brilliant achievements at the University of San Diego and Stanford University. This year, he joined the San Francisco 49ers and took over the job. Got this mess.
Since taking office, Jim has shown his iron-blooded style. With the support of the team manager, the entire team has completed a major cleanup.
First of all, among the twenty-person coaching staff, only the running back coach, offensive line coach, and defensive line coach remained, and all the others were replaced; secondly, there was a team roster of fifty-three people, seventeen of which were released in one go. players, including two quarterbacks, and the roster has been cleared by nearly one-third.
Such skill, such decisiveness, and such crispness are rare in the entire league, and Jim's coaching style can also be seen.
In the blink of an eye, Jim had already made a decision, "Bobby, call Jackson now and call the defensive team of the sparring team over, and then..." Jim pondered for a moment, "The offensive team of the sparring team also Call me over."
Craig Jackson (Greg Jackson) is the assistant to the second coach of the defensive team. Because there are two Craigs on the coaching staff, they will deliberately call them different.
"Jim, what are you going to do?" Craig Roman stood nearby, showing a surprised look. Obviously Jim did not expect such a move.
Jim looked stern and unsmiling, staring sharply into the stadium like a hungry wolf, "Training day."
The so-called training day is actually the internal terminology of the police, specifically referring to the first day after a rookie police officer enters the police station or the police force.
Because the work of the police force is full of dangers and accidents, rookies who don't know the situation often delay business and even hurt their teammates. If they are not careful, it may be a matter of life or death. Therefore, on the first day, the police force will send an experienced veteran to coach, teach and train the rookies.
Those veterans will deliberately take the rookies to the most dangerous, sensitive, and complex areas of the city, create some minor accidents, and provide shocking education. After being severely frightened, the rookie grew up quickly. As a result, this day was called "training day" within the police force, but the ordinary word contained a joking and ridicule like watching a show.
Craig and Kip exchanged glances, and the two of them began to look forward to it.
Standing outside the boundary line of the training ground, Lu Ke began to do some simple stretching movements to relax his arm muscles.
Today's condition is still not adjusted to the best, the muscles are slightly tight, and the tension and eagerness of the mentality are inevitably reflected in the muscle condition; however, after insisting on practicing yoga every day for more than half a year, the effects are gradually showing. After coming out, his muscle activity, toughness, and patience have all made great progress.
Not to mention anything else, in the rookie training camp, after consecutive long passes, the soreness in his muscles was really difficult to express in words; but now, he is only slightly sore. After a little massage and relaxation, he has gradually been relieved and relaxed. freed.
"Beep," the whistle sounded, and Bobby, who was standing on the edge of the court, shouted, "All the quarterbacks participating in the trial, come here."
"What's going on?" Scott walked over quickly and stood side by side with Lu Ke, looking around curiously. "Have you noticed? There are players moving over from the official player training base. You said, they What are you going to do?"
Lu Ke also noticed the players who were coming over one after another, but he couldn't read much information from their expressions. "Try training, it's just the content over and over again. It's not a test, it's a training match. Anyway, the data It’s just statistics, you still have to see your performance on the court after all.”
"But today is the first day of trial training, so soon?" Scott couldn't help but frowned, and then he and Lu Ke joined the main force one after another and walked towards the location of the coaching staff.
"Thank you all players for coming to participate in the 49ers' trial training. I won't say any more polite words." The person who came out was Jim Harbaugh, the team's head coach, but not only did he not greet him, he even introduced himself. None, let’s get straight to the point.
"Next, we conduct a simple training game. The offensive players and defensive players are all the same group of players. Each quarterback uses the same offensive line and faces the same defensive players, and then , carry out tenth gear attack." Jim explained the situation in a few simple words, Lu Ke and Scott exchanged a look: just as expected. "These ten offenses must be completed, whether it is an interception or a touchdown, no matter what the result is, the players can only leave the field after the ten offenses are completed. Any questions?"
Unlike in rookie training camp, interceptions or touchdowns do not end the game. Each quarterback must complete ten offensive plays. This means that the coaching staff needs to more comprehensively examine the quarterback's ability to withstand pressure on the field——
For example, if you immediately pass the ball after being intercepted, how will the quarterback choose? Challenge the player who just intercepted you? Change tactics? Or choose a running back?
"By the way, there's no running back," Jim added. "Correspondingly, the defense takes off a safety."
The lack of running back coverage means that the quarterback's tactical options are immediately reduced by one-third. That's good for the running quarterback, but it's a test for the passing quarterback.
In addition, using the same group of players also means that the earlier they play, the more energy and physical strength they have, and the intensity may be greater, and the later they play, the advantage will become greater and greater; of course, playing at the beginning also If there are loopholes to exploit, catching the opponent off guard before they are fully in the state is also one of the advantages.
The key lies in how to choose and how to measure.
"Anyone volunteer to be the first?" Jim scanned the crowd.
"I!"
