Chapter 44: Trial training (on)

　　On May 24th, Li Liang got up early.
　　 Yesterday, he accompanied Wei Dazhi to make a pose.
　　 Run in the streets of Los Angeles for a while, shoot in the training hall for a while, lift dumbbells in the gym for a while, and eat in the restaurant for a while.
　　 This kid wrote a script for his documentary and took the shot according to the script's plan.
　　Although Li Liang did not dare to compliment Wei Dazhi's level of photography, he still supported him as a friend. After all, this is a news reporter for the future.
　　After shooting, Li Liang controlled his diet at night and did not enter the system for training. He needed plenty of energy.
　　 So when I woke up on the morning of the 24th, Li Liang felt very energetic and full of strength.
　　 He took a bath, put on clean clothes, and kicked Wei Dazhi out of bed.
　　The two went out for breakfast, and Zhu Shu was already waiting for them downstairs.
　　She made a taxi appointment two days in advance, because the training venue was arranged in the stadium, far away from Inglewood.
After getting in the car, Zhu Shu looked at Li Liang and said, "How is it, are you confident?"
　　Li Liang grinned and said: "Of course, with your support, I am absolutely confident."
　　 As a novice agent, Zhu Shu's various auxiliary work has been quite in place.
　　Wei Dazhi on the side heard a conversation between the two and made a "vomiting" expression. He had already smelled the stench of dog food.
　　 The car got on 405 Avenue and drove for more than 40 minutes to arrive at the university-this famous NCAA school.
　　In terms of the total number of champions, the entire NCAA is only the one that can crush Li Liang's graduation Kentucky.
　　 This school, where many legends were born, has been declining in recent years.
　　 Since 1995, no NCAA championship trophy has ever been touched.
　　'S prestigious status in the NCAA is also surpassed by Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and other schools, and is no longer the first choice for some talented players.
Even so, excellent players like Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook have been produced in recent years.
　　In Los Angeles, the Lakers and ULCA are inextricably linked.
　　 In the summer, the Lakers players often train in the arena. The Lakers also often use the arena to open training camps and conduct trial training.
　　 Their new training hall is still under planning, so this trial training was arranged.
　　 The taxi stopped at the gate of the stadium, and Ryan West was already waiting for them at the gate.
　　Meet Li Liang, West took the initiative to shake hands with him.
　　 For Li Liang's trial training, Ryan is already looking forward to it.
　　 is not how important Li Liang is. In fact, this trial was arranged by West himself.
　　The Lakers management just informed them and learned that there are so many people coming over for training, as to who they are not interested in knowing.
　　Large eyes such as the Lakers are higher than the top, and the talented players who have stayed in history are like stars in summer nights.
　　 Every summer, the players who come to the training are like the crucian carp. After all, the Lakers have prospered in the NBA and trained a batch of fans.
　　Now among the league's stars, many have grown up watching the Lakers' ball since childhood.
　　 How can a small NCAA bench come over for a second round of the show or even a 10-day short contract to try out the Lakers management law.
　　After being knocked out by the Thunder in this year's playoffs, the Lakers have begun brewing a big deal to inject fresh energy into Los Angeles.
　　 has no time to manage the draft and trial training.
　　 Therefore, Ryan West contracted this matter in one hand.
　　 As a team scout, he is still very responsible.
　　 He doesn't care about the transaction, but the draft and trial training are his responsibilities, and he must do something.
　　 The Lakers' scouts are really hard to do. There is no high draft pick, and they are always doing the work of digging gold in the dunghole.
　　Ryan West hopes that he has not looked away, Li Liangneng is a piece of gold wrapped in big dung!
　　Of course, after calming down these two days, West also reminded himself not to have too much hope.
the more you hope, the harder you fall.
　　 A few years ago, the Lakers had tried another Chinese player, Sun Yue, when he participated in a collective trial.
　　He showed a good competitive state in the trial training, and he did not fall in the game of holding the ball against black players.
　　 Later, the Lakers chose him with the second round of draft picks, but unfortunately Sun Yue did not get any chance in the Lakers.
　　He has the advantage of ball attack and organization, which has no effect under the intensity of the NBA confrontation.
　　 And his defensive loopholes were exposed, and once he played, he was the weakest link.
　　One attack and one defense is basically a side effect.
　　 is not only a Chinese player, but also the reason why many European players cannot survive in the NBA.
　　 Offensive advantage is not obvious, defensive disadvantage is too prominent.
　　 Unless you can achieve almost no solution on the offensive end like Nowitzki and Yao Ming.
　　 can become the core of offensive tactics, while defensive end does not lag behind.
　　 Otherwise, the NBA team would rather be an unknown black player, and not a famous overseas star.
　　Ryan West's optimism about Li Liang this time is undoubtedly his fancy defense.
　　 He only hopes that Li Liang's defense in New Jersey is not an accident.
　　Li Liang followed Ryan West into the gymnasium, and the Lakers' test trainers were all waiting in line.
　　 The night before yesterday, Li Liang summoned Dalius-Morris in the [Personal Training Center] and asked him about the process of the Lakers trial training.
　　 So at this moment Li Liang had the bottom of his heart and didn't panic at all.
　　In addition to Wei Dazhi, two other reporters from local Los Angeles media also came to the scene.
　　 The NBA has always been very open to the media. It can be said that every detail of each team is obliged to show it to the media.
　　 Generally speaking, if it is a big-name rookie trial training, it must be gongs and drums, crowds of people.
　　If it is an ordinary rookie, there are also seven or eight media.
　　 Like Li Liang, who didn't know where it came from, he was still a Chinese, and it would be nice to have two of them.
　　 Many Chinese fans tend to overestimate the commercial value of Chinese players in the NBA, thinking which team has Chinese players, and the commercial value opportunities will increase.
　　 So if there are Chinese players to try out the training, it will definitely arouse media attention.
　　 But the reality is actually cruel. If a Chinese player has no strength, his treatment is the same as those of the unknown American players, and even worse.
　　Because the basketball world is extremely realistic, the fans only recognize the strength, the same is true of Chinese fans.
　　Only if you are a Chinese player at the same time, Chinese fans will support you, otherwise, based on the identity of the Chinese, there will be no bonus except for more attention.
　　 China's population of more than one billion, who is not unique?
　　Li Liang is very clear about this, so it is normal to have no media to interview.
　　In this way, he can concentrate on trial training instead.
　　Li Liang took off his sports jacket and under the leadership of the test trainer, he warmed up for half an hour.
　　Stretched body, turned back to jog, catch the ball, 8-pass layup.
　　These are basic basketball warm-up events, and Li Liang is very smooth.
　　It can be seen from this point that this guy is at least a professional basketball player.
　　After the warm-up, the official trial training program began. At this time, except for Wei Dazhi, two other reporters were invited to leave the training hall.
　　 The formal training will avoid media interference, and the specific project will be kept confidential to prevent certain players from engaging in "targeted examinations".
　　 Of course, this is also inevitable, otherwise many teams will not look away.
　　 The first project conducted by Li Liang was a four-way running test.
　　The Lakers test trainer is Tim Di Francisco, a white bearded man.
　　He set up four sensors in the square three-second area, and then let Li Liang stand in the upper left corner.
"I will give you instructions, front, back, left and right, and then you make the corresponding movement. During the movement, your hand must be open and touch the sensors in the four corners to be considered a successful movement. Is there any doubt? "
"No."
　　 This is a project to test the player's ability to move on the court, including lateral movement and vertical positioning in a defensive state.
　　 Because in Ryan West's scout report, Li Liang's strength is defense, so he must test his defensive mobility.
　　 This is completely difficult for Li Liang. At this time, his outside defense ability has reached the basic level of the NBA.
　　 Those players who have not undergone NBA intensity baptism, in addition to star newcomers, it will be difficult to score under Li Liang's confrontational defense.
　　 So, what Ryan West sees in rookie training camp is not luck, but strength.
　　 Sure enough, running Li Liang in four directions did a very good job.
　　'S side can see Li Liang's test data quickly through the laptop.
　　 "Very good, quite good, his mobile level, in his height, quite good."
　　Ryan West saw the real data in front of him, and he was relieved that the data would not be deceiving.
　　He still remembers Sun Yue who came to the Lakers for training. Of course, he was not a scout for the Lakers at that time, but a grizzly bear.
　　The Lakers’ archive contains Sun Yue’s data. He is also about 6-foot-9 tall, and Li Liang’s defensive movement ability is much stronger.
　　After the four-way running test, the next item is the reaction speed test,
　　 is still four sensors, different in height, arranged in front of Li Liang in order.
　　The sensor is equipped with red, green and blue indicator lights. After the light is on, waving it in front of the sensor will turn off the light.
　　 "Four sensors, each sensor light is on, wave your hand in front of it, count once. You need to be as soon as possible, we are testing your reaction time." Di Francisco said.
　　Li Liang nodded, he had practiced the night before this test, and the various facilities in the [Personal Training Center] are readily available.
　　 This is still a test of defensive ability. On defense, Li Liang will not disappoint.
　　 Five-minute test, Li Liang reacted quickly every time, and almost passed as soon as the light was on.
　　 After all, EbookFREE.me~ Artest appeared suddenly and he can rush to make fouls. This is a small case.
　　Ryan West looked at the data sheet on his notebook, and he was a little bit proud, and it seemed that his adventure was correct.
　　 This Bruce Lee is indeed very defensive, and in the position where the team is absolutely capable of replacing the small forward, it is no problem to go up for 10 minutes.
　　 The 60th overall draft, if you can pick a rookie who will go up against 10 minutes, Ryan West will be over the task.
　　Is it possible that the league should also give him an award for the best excavator, in recognition of his contribution to tapping talent.
After 　　, De Francisco inspected several basic qualities of Li Liang, all related to defense.
　　One test after another, some were not mentioned by Morris the day before yesterday, and were carried out very carefully.
　　After completing the defense-related tests, Di Francisco gave Li Liang a questionnaire and asked him to complete it in ten minutes.
　　Li Liang looked at it, and they were all multiple choice questions about what to do in various situations on the field.
　　 For example, the timing of the bagging, the choice of supplementary defense, the quick withdrawal of the mark, and so on.
　　 This is not difficult for Li Liang, to know that he is Kentucky's gold water dispenser!
　　 sat next to Calipari every day and listened to his nagging, and the rats in front of the throne listened to the chanting.
　　After completing the questionnaire in ten minutes, Ryan West said: "Very good, good performance in the morning, and one and a half hours of trial training in the afternoon, continue to cheer."
　　 It turned out that the trial training was divided into the afternoon and it was obvious that West attached great importance to Li Liang. After all, this was his dung.
　　 Of course, if Li Liang does not perform well in the morning, the afternoon training will be cancelled directly.
　　Li Liang knew that he was half successful.
