Chapter 120: Trial Heat

The draft convention is getting closer, and the rookies are all busy training for their respective teams.
With the trial training and some news from the previous joint trials, the real data of many rookies have gradually surfaced, and the draft ranks have become more and more brilliant.
The biggest fluctuation is Perry Jones. This unexpectedly announced rookie, because of poor performance in trial training, has fallen all the way from the top spot, and has now come to the edge of the lottery. It is said that he is likely Will eventually withdraw from this year's draft.
The opposite situation belongs to Tristan Thompson, a freshman from the University of Texas, who has performed very well in joint trials and team trials. He has risen straight from the first round of lotto. Now It has come to the top six, and even the top three.
注 (Note: Harrison Barnes, Salinger and others have decided not to participate in the 2011 NBA Draft.)
的 The changes brought about by trial training are obvious.
On June 19, ten days before the draft, Tang Tian took part in the trials of the Heat with some other rookies under the arrangement of Fagan.
Popular hot rookies, such as Irving and Derrick Williams, have only one trial, and may even try to train several teams on the sidelines at the same time.
But Tang Tian participated in the trial training which was just the opposite. There was a lot of people to choose from in the 31st position, so there were more than a dozen players participating in one trial training.
Among these people, Tang Tian also saw a lot of familiar figures.
Norris Cole, a senior at Cleveland State University, weighs 77 kg and weighs 1.88 meters, is a thin point guard. He has averaged 21.7 points, 5.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals this past season. The numbers are gorgeous However, Cleveland State University did not qualify for the championship this year.
Jordan Hamilton, a sophomore at the University of Texas, has a height of 2 kg and a weight of 100 kg. Like Tang Tian, ​​the NBA standard small forward figure has averaged 13.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game over the past season. Both the rate and the number of hits rank first in the team, and help the team reach the sweet 16 of the tournament.
Sherwin Mark, the core of Butler University, this Tang Tian is very familiar. The final was well guarded by him. The height of 1.91 meters and the weight of 94 kilograms are just the opposite of Cole. It is a kind of small steel cannon. In the past season He averaged 16 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
Taylor Honicart, a sophomore, has a height of 2.03 but only weighs 85kg. He is a thin forward and has excellent defense. He has an extraordinary wingspan and excellent athletic ability. He can contribute 7.2 rebounds and 2.06 blocks per game. Guy, because the previous trials performed well, the ranking has been rising.
Uh ...
From the Heat's choice of candidates for training, we can see that their goal this year is clear: either a point guard or a forward swingman.
This is entirely reasonable. Last year's loss of the Heat had a lot to do with the weak point guard position. As for the forward swingman, James and Wade have always lacked such players.
Xun Zhen saw Tang ’s competitors even more confident.
Take Hamilton and Honicart. The former is a good three-pointer, but the defense is not good at NCAA. Not to mention at the NBA level. Honicart is just the opposite. Defensive is good, but the outside shooting is not good. .
To put it plainly, they only have 3 or D.
Perhaps their athletic ability is better than Tang Tian in other aspects, but what the Heat want is obviously not this aspect.
Trial training is divided into three links.
The first link is the demonstration of basic abilities, basic abilities such as shooting, dribbling, and passing, as well as some basic physical tests, such as standing tall, sprinting tall, and running back.
In this session, Honeycat and Hamilton are both eye-catching in their respective areas of expertise.
The second link is heads-up, and the players head to head.
Tong Tangtian began to show his strength in this session. After improving his shooting speed, his three-pointer made the opponent defenseless. Of course, his defense was even brighter.
The opponents against him, including Hamilton and Honey Carter, were players at the end of the first round or the second round. Their strength was weaker than that of Irving and Derrick Williams he had encountered before, and he was defended by him. All are pretty embarrassed.
Only Cole, a thin point guard, has an absolute advantage in speed and wins him. Everyone else has lost to Tang Tian in the heads-up session.
"Who is that? That yellow race." The player was training, and no one noticed that the Heat's core James just passed by the training hall. After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but speak to the trainer Mancias. Asked.
"I don't know, I'll go in and ask." Everyone comes to the trial every day. Mancias can't know everyone. After he enters, he walks directly to the assistant coach David Fizdale who is in charge of the trial. .
James nodded, he did not leave immediately, but went in and found a place to sit there, UU read the book www. uukanshu. com bit his nails and looked with interest.
之后 After the second part of the trial training ended, he quickly entered the third part and confronted the audience.
The confrontation was divided into two groups, Tang Tian and Cole were grouped together, and Mark and Hamilton and Honeycat were grouped.
The team formed temporarily did not have much tacit understanding, and the offensive end depended on the players' respective strengths.
After the opening of both sides, Cole and Mark were basically confrontation.
Mark's players are better overall, they have been pressing Tang Tian and they are playing.
When Mark's shot resulted in Cole's foul on the free throw line, Tang Tian actively pulled Cole in the outside to chat.
When another side attack, Tang Tian took Cole's running position and made a three-pointer.
Players don't have enough understanding on the offensive end, as well as the defensive end. Simple coordination is very effective in this kind of game.
After the goal was scored, the players who were not on the sidelines could not help but cheer for a while. The weak side's counterattack always attracted attention.
James was a bit bored and was about to leave. When he heard the shout, he looked at the field.
Tang Tian steals Hamilton in defense and passes the ball to Cole. Cole directly makes a fast one and makes a layup.
Mark did not respond to the throw. In the frontcourt, Cole and Tang Tian played a pick-and-roll match, and Cole passed the ball to Tang Tian, ​​who made a 3-pointer.
After a wave of 8-0 offensives, Tang Tian brought the situation back.
James raised his eyebrows, and without waiting for Mancias to ask, he got up and walked over.
"LeBron." Fizdale saw James coming over and smiled and greeted him.
"That rookie is good." James pointed at Tang Tian on the field and said.
