The first punch that shocked the basketball world

We had a quick lunch.

The group rested in the cafeteria for a while.

At 1 p.m., the five of them gathered again in the stadium.

Lin Fei stood among them, visibly relieved.

He's one step closer to making it to the NBA.

He didn't know what the afternoon's trial training was like.

But it seems quite difficult.

However, the morning's match gave Lin Fei plenty of confidence.

He realized that these players, if placed among amateur players, would naturally all be Jordans.

However, among professional players, they are all on the very edge.

With his current physical condition and abilities, he is more than capable of dealing with them.

After all, Lin Fei's physical abilities were greatly improved after he transmigrated.

In his previous life, he was also a professional player with a wealth of experience.

In addition, he now knows how to please the coaching staff and how to present himself effectively.

Therefore, Lin Fei was quite confident about the afternoon's trial training.

The afternoon trial training began.

Just as Lin Fei had expected, it was much harsher than in the morning.

The first item is the physical fitness test.

Thirty shuttle runs, to be completed within the time limit.

It may not sound like much, but it can be deadly when you run it.

Five people lined up in a row.

Harris blew the whistle.

"start!"

The five people rushed out at the same time.

At first, the speed was very fast.

But after the tenth run, the gap became apparent.

Some people started to pant, and some slowed their pace.

On their twentieth run, two people stopped abruptly, clutching their knees and panting heavily.

Lin Fei maintained a steady pace throughout.

Not fast, but not slow either.

Every turnaround was perfectly timed.

Breathing steady, steps firm.

Completed the run in thirty runs.

Two people collapsed onto the ground, exhausted like dead dogs.

The other two who forced themselves to stay upright were also bent over, looking uncomfortable.

He was covered in sweat, and his clothes were completely soaked.

Only Lin Fei remained completely calm and composed after the entire test was over.

There was only a light sweat on his forehead.

He could even stand and talk to Derek next to him.

"Are you alright?" Lin Fei asked.

Derek waved his hand, unable to speak.

He could only gasp for breath.

It has to be said that the physical attributes of his current body are terrifyingly strong.

The transformation brought about by the fusion of his two souls was even more dramatic than he had imagined.

Take a ten-minute break.

The second item is a strength test.

Bench press, squat, deadlift.

These are all basic projects.

It mainly depends on absolute strength and core strength.

Lin Fei is not a power player.

But his core strength is outstanding.

I can bench press 80 kg and do it more than ten times.

Squatting 120 kg is also very easy.

Among guards, he is among the top tier.

The third item is the speed test.

A 100-meter sprint, a three-quarters sprint.

Lin Fei was very fast.

He can probably run the 10 meters in about 5 seconds.

Among basketball players, he is at the top level.

In the three-quarters sprint, his performance was the best among the five.

They left the second place far behind.

The fourth item is the tactical execution test.

This one is rather special.

The coaching staff gave each of the five players a set of tactics manuals.

Ten-minute memory.

Then they went on the field to run tactics.

Let's see who runs the right way and who runs the wrong way.

It mainly tests tactical understanding and memory.

Alex Dunn performed best in this category.

After all, he has played in professional leagues and has a high level of tactical awareness.

Lin Fei also performed well.

Having played professionally for so many years in his previous life, tactics weren't difficult for him.

They can usually get it right.

The other three were a bit less qualified.

It is riddled with errors and omissions.

One task after another, giving almost no time to breathe.

The trial was very intense, and the players complained endlessly.

Two out of the five players couldn't keep going and had to rest on the sidelines many times.

The other two, who managed to hold on, both looked utterly hopeless.

Only Lin Fei followed the whole process and was in much better shape than the others.

After a short 20-minute rest.

Harris then asked each of them to take a spot shooting test.

At this time, the NBA had not yet entered the small-ball era.

However, there are already relatively strict requirements for players' shooting ability.

Having accurate three-point shooting isn't necessarily a plus.

However, players who fail to meet the shooting standard will definitely have points deducted.

The five players who stayed behind in the afternoon were all backcourt players.

Lin Fei, who is 2.01 meters tall, is the tallest of the five.

Therefore, a shooting test was added.

Five points.

Left bottom corner, 45 degrees to the left, arc top, 45 degrees to the right, right bottom corner.

Five balls were thrown from each spot, for a total of 25 attempts.

The other four players took turns going on the court for shooting tests.

White point guard Dunn has the most solid shooting fundamentals.

His shooting form is stable and his rhythm is good.

18 out of 25 shots made.

He was the best performer among the four.

The worst performer was a black guy who only made 6 of 25 shots.

Their posture was crooked and awkward, completely dependent on the weather.

Without a doubt, it will be eliminated.

Finally, it was Lin Fei's turn to make a move.

He was standing in the bottom left corner.

Take a deep breath.

Catch the ball, jump, and shoot.

"Whoosh!"

Hollow-core netting.

One, two, three.

Lin Fei's attack speed was very fast, and his hand position was very steady.

The rhythm of each point remains consistent.

All five spots were filled.

25 balls.

One goal was scored.

His shooting test brought Harris another surprise.

Harris raised an eyebrow.

They clearly hadn't expected Lin Fei's shooting to be so good.

21 out of 25 shots made.

Although there is still a considerable gap compared to top shooters.

However, it has been proven that Lin Fei's shooting fundamentals are very solid.

As a defensive wing player, this shooting ability is more than sufficient.

It could even be described as a surprise.

Harris's impression of Lin Fei improved somewhat.

After the shooting test, the coaching staff tested the players' basic passing skills.

This isn't too difficult.

The goal is to complete a specified number of passes within a set time, with the main factor being the error rate.

Chest pass, bounce pass, long pass.

We need to test all kinds of passing methods.

Lin Fei isn't particularly good at passing.

He is not a playmaker.

However, they still managed to control the error rate well and did not make any mistakes.

It is quite satisfactory.

The afternoon trial training lasted from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The four hours of grueling training left all the players feeling extremely exhausted.

The same goes for Lin Fei.

Although his condition was better than the other four.

However, the continuous high-intensity training still made him feel a bit tired.

His forehead was covered in sweat.

The jersey got wet and then dried, then got wet again.

The entire afternoon of the five people's trial training was recorded by cameras on the sidelines.

Every detail was captured clearly.

After completing all the tryouts, Harris clapped his hands.

"Alright, that concludes today's tryouts," he said. "You can go back now."

"We will give you an answer within three days."

"We'll let you know the results later."

However, Harris already has someone she likes.

His gaze swept over the five people.

Finally, he lingered on Lin Fei for an extra second.

However, he still needs to go back and discuss it with his team.
