One Hundred: [Crazy Training Camp]
Doug and Russell Westbrook went to the Orlando training camp to report in the afternoon.
In fact, Doug was urging Russell early in the morning, but Westbrook felt that he was also a popular rookie who could enter the green house, and he had already received Seattle's draft guarantee in advance, so he should look like a big name. Big names are never late.
However, when he arrived, he still found himself not big enough.
Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo came almost at the end, and OJ Mayo also brought a special shooting team. He plans to make another documentary to record his NBA journey.
In terms of marketing, OJ Mayo is obviously a rank higher than other rookies. The 'black gold scandal' that he broke out before was also successfully covered up by his team. He has been training with Dwyane Wade recently, and the basketball media has been spreading news that the Miami Heat will use their second pick to pick OJ Mayo and form a backcourt double shot with Dwyane Wade!
However, on the marketing thing. OJ Mayo has always been biased against Dug, and he has been saying some sour things in the media.
On the one hand, he is not optimistic about Doug’s draft prospects. On the other hand, he thinks that Snoopy appearing in entertainment news every day is not what a professional player should do. At the same time, his team also attacks the contract between Nike and Snoopy. The event is vicious hype.
When discussing this matter with Russell Westbrook last night, Duger still couldn't understand why the player from the University of Southern California would inexplicably target himself, obviously in different positions, and the draft rankings are far apart, Without any competition, why offend me so much?
However, Westbrook's agent Sam Fucher told him with a smile: "This is one of the usual draft tricks. With the Nike contract incident and the recent single that is very popular, plus you are an NCAA four The winner of the MOP in the strong game. This makes you the most topical player among the rookies this year, not even one of them. But your strength has not reached the level that can match your fame. At this time, condescendingly criticize you or give you A little suggestion is the easiest thing to attract attention."
"As far as I know, OJ Mayo still hasn't got any team's draft commitment. And, his team hopes that he can go to a super city like Los Angeles or New York. However, neither Los Angeles nor New York has a relatively high-ranking player this year. Pick. Now they can't wait to make some big news and get them traded up for him."
Duger finally understood when he heard this: "OJ Mayo's team is using me as a stepping stone for the draft."
So, when he saw OJ Mayo approaching in the training camp, he turned his back directly. Except for the blocked shots on the court, Doug doesn't want to have any pictures with him. Who knows what kind of "see pictures and talk" report mode his team will adopt.
Duge completed the static body measurement data and dynamic body measurement data on the same day.
Static data: Barefoot height 191.6 cm, height 193.6 cm wearing shoes, weight 96 kg, arm span 208.39 cm. The standing height is 269.09 cm, the body fat rate is 4.22%, the palm length is 28.26 cm, and the palm width is 32.46 cm.
Dynamic data: The height of the in-situ vertical jump is 103 cm, and the height of the in-situ vertical jump is 365 cm. The run-up vertical jump height is 88 cm, and the run-up touch height is 336 cm. 84 kg class bench press 29 times, the bottom line back and forth ran for 13.38 seconds, and the 3/4 full-court sprint was 3.79 seconds.
This data detonated the entire training camp.
Because the contrast is too great.
Everyone knows that Doug's wingspan is long, but no one expected that his standing reach reached 269 cm. You must know that Michael Jordan only had this standing reach. However, Michael Jordan has a height of 198 and a wingspan of 216.
But how did Snoopy, who is less than 192 cm tall with bare feet, do it? He didn't look like Marion with the short neck.
Afterwards, the trainer took off his clothes and sighed after seeing his entire back muscles and shoulder muscles: "This is a natural inverted triangle, whether it is bone or muscle line, perfect!!"
After obtaining this data, many team scouts who came to observe the scene quickly sent back messages.
With Dug's 269 stand-up touch height, coupled with a monstrous 103 in-place bounce, the airspace he governs on the defensive end is high enough to take down the Raiders on every scramble.
And another staggering data is his palm. The length of his palm is actually not particularly scary, and it is considered top level among outside players. But his width swept the entire training camp. The width of 32.46 centimeters was 2.2 centimeters wider than that of Michael Jordan. This means that the basketball is more in his hands. Westbrook even teased Doug: "Maybe you can catch the ball and shoot the ball at the same time."
In fact, Doug is completely capable of doing this.
In addition, the Doug bench press data and body fat percentage also caused some surprises, but these were reasonable and did not cause too much noise.
Even after the data on Doug’s bottom-line turn-back run, 3/4 sprint, and run-up height were released, no one was particularly surprised, because Darren Collison had already exposed all of this. This is a well-known shortcoming, so he attention has not been reduced.
However, after the physical test data of OJ Mayo and Michael Beasley were released, it caused a great uproar.
OJ Mayo, who played shooting guard, turned out to be not as tall as Dug with bare feet, only 191.3 centimeters.
Michael Beasley, who plays power forward, is only 201.2 centimeters tall with bare feet.
The heights that the two had previously declared were 195 cm and 208 cm, respectively. The difference was so large that the outside world's doubts about them suddenly increased.
And because of the sudden exposure, the influence has formed the effect of superimposing and doubling.
On the contrary, it is Duge, because everyone knows his data in detail, so there is no gap at all.
Amidst the uproar from scouts and a small number of media workers, Westbrook secretly delighted. He told Doug: "Snoopy, you said... Will I become the No. 1 or No. 2 pick this year?"
Doug shook his head, he said it was impossible to predict.
The matter of height mixed with water will indeed greatly reduce the confidence of NBA teams in these two candidates, but... this year is indeed a small year for the draft. Except for Rose, Mayo, and Beasley, plus half of Westbrook, there is really no one else who can play.
Therefore, this situation has also created a mentality that everyone wants to strive for the lottery.
When Duge announced that he would sign up for tomorrow's full-court match, there were immediately a crowd of responders.
Anthony Randolph and JaVale McGee signed up immediately.
Subsequently, Westbrook insisted on playing to help his brother Snoopy despite the opposition of his agent.
Of course, Kevin Love followed closely behind him. As for the Congo forward Ibaka, who was signed by Lin Weiwei and spoke Spanish-style English, he also stood firmly behind Dug.
Dang Gang announced that all of them joined.
All the popular rookies who were picked out before were red-eyed. Regardless of the opposition of the management team, they insisted on announcing their registration.
The Lopez Brothers, Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, OJ Mayo, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley...these Green House members and top picks all joined in.
When these people join in, other popular candidates who are interested in improving the draft will of course keep following up, Courtney Lee, JJ Hickson, Jason Thompson, DJ Augustine, Eric Gordon, Gallinari... .
When Bagleys, the director in charge of the training camp, saw the names of these hot rookies, his eyes almost straightened.
In previous years, this was unimaginable.
In the past, popular rookies almost never participated in this kind of confrontational training, and even if they did, they would not attack the whole net in groups like this. After all, no one wants uncontrolled events to happen before the draft, which will affect the drop in the draft.
However, now all the rookies seem to be overwhelmed, forming an extremely fierce healthy competition!
"Should I sell some tickets to go out?"
Bagleys muttered with a smile.
At the same time, the general manager owners of all teams in the league received the message almost at the same time.
So, one by one, they began to book tickets in a hurry.
Direct confrontation is the best way to test the quality of rookies.
