Chapter 15: Mediocre

No. 219.
This is the number assigned to Shentong by the training camp.
Shentong did not expect that the Chicago training camp was like a domestic market.
Crowds of people.
"No. 219, No. 219, please go to the physical examination room to accept the physical examination."
Shentong quickly walked over the person to get on the physical examination table.
After accepting a series of tests, various data were released.
Bare feet height: 1.98 meters
Height of wearing shoes: 2.01 meters
Weight: 180.5 kg
Wingspan: 2.08 meters
In-situ touch height: 2.64 meters
Run-up bounce height: 1.02 meters
"Well ... good grades." The recorder handed the form to Shentong's hand, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Wow, so big palm."
A scout waiting at the entrance of the physical examination room keenly smelled a hint of potential star.
Took the physical data of No. 219.
Nodded again and again.
Although this data is not particularly explosive, it is far more than the average player, especially the length of the palm, even reaching 24 cm!
The legendary sucker!
Dribble master!
24 cm!
Ok...
Scouts quickly wrote down Shentong's number on his own notebook.
......
According to the prompt of the on-site guide, Shentong came to a newly vacated field.
"Site 7 has been vacated and you can play."
"Venue 7, received."
"No. 211, No. 213, No. 219 ... These five players, please enter the venue, put on a red jersey, and immediately play a 20-minute match."
The number of Shentong came from the speaker.
Wearing No. 219 training red basketball shirt, Shen Tong walked onto the court.
Looking around, Shentong understands why the numbers are not consecutive.
10 people on the field formed exactly two complete lineups.
The position filled out by Shentong is "shooting guard", which is randomly arranged on the odd red team.
The opponent's lineup is the blue team, all numbers are even.
"Look, is that Bobby Simmons?"
"The one at 228, I also noticed it."
"This is Bobby."
"Well ... I don't know anyone else."
Shentong's ear moved.
Bobby Simmons?
That short-lived player of the year's fastest progress?
Bobby Simmons, wearing size 228, shook his head, then shrugged, looking very relaxed.
Simons, nicknamed "Silk", currently plays for DePaul University, not a famous basketball school, and was early out of this year's NCAA league.
However, Simmons's local reputation in Chicago is still good.
This is mainly from high school.
In the third year of high school, Simmons, who was under the age of 18, was selected as the first team in the Illinois All-NBA First Team in the Chicago Sun Times. He was also selected as the top 40 high school students in the United States by ESPN.
Chicago training camp is equivalent to Simmons' home.
Simons has not yet been invited by any team for trial training, so this training camp, Simmons is sturdy enough, intends to perform well, strive to get the appreciation of NBA scouts, and get a chance to try.
......
After a simple preparation, the match officially started.
Simmons, the swingman of the forward guard, was assigned the position of the shooting guard in this game, which is exactly against Shentong.
As a celebrity in Chicago, in the first round, the blue team handed offense to Simmons.
"Boom ... Boom ..."
Simons dribble the ball with his careless right hand outside, and command the teammates to run in the left hand, just like the attitude of the stadium boss.
Leaned back to Shentong and turned around.
Shentong was blocked by the blue team members.
Simons rushed into the inside and made a dunk directly!
"Wow ~~" the crowd watching on the sidelines exclaimed.
"Look, I said earlier that this match was Bobby's personal performance."
"The fellow guy is really poor. I'm afraid he will disappear from training camp after this game."
The red team's ball passed inside.
Opportunity is not good.
The blue team is double-teamed.
But the big man of the red team didn't intend to pass the ball, preparing to hit the inside.
Oops ...
Was stolen.
Simons!
After a wonderful steal, Simmons quickly launched a fast break.
Is another dunk!
4-0.
After the goal, Simmons shook the number on his chest.
"My name is Bobby Simmons, remember me!"
......
The short 10 minutes of the first half ended.
Judging from the score in the first half, Shentong ’s red team was hit.
6-15.
Simons scored 10 points, more than half of the team's score, and his performance was very eye-catching.
Blues players have almost always created opportunities for Simmons.
Shentong fisted four hands, although Simmons failed to return in single defense twice, but when facing the blue team pick-and-roll, Shentong was powerless.
Red team members have no one to change defense or make up defense, they almost put all their energy on the offense.
Because only by scoring, can you better show yourself.
Making up for Simmons?
Please.
Has only a short 20-minute performance time.
And.
That's Simmons.
No one dares to take risks.
In the event of a deduction, the draft prospects will be reimbursed.
Therefore, the red team played like a loose sand in the first half, and was completely suppressed by the blue team with Simmons as the core.
Shentong scored a 3-pointer, so as not to let the team fall behind by double digits.
But throughout the first half, Shentong only touched the ball three times.
A basketball seems to be insufficient points on the red team, everyone is not willing to pass the ball.
......
"Resume for 5 minutes, and then continue to the second half."
Shentong sat on the sidelines and sipped energy drinks.
If I continue to fight like this, I'm afraid I will be finished.
The number of people in the training camp was very large. The 7th venue is located in the corner. If there is no outstanding performance, the famous Shentong cannot stand out.
Was when Shentong was anxious.
There was a sudden commotion at the venue No. 7.
"Look, who is that?"
"Ah ... guys in the lotto area!"
"How did they come here?"
"Don't the two of them already have the opportunity of individual training, why do UU reading www.uukanshu.com come here?"
Seeing clearly the two people who were surrounded and discussed, Shen Tong smiled.
"Hey, buddy, you seem to have just been beaten up." Arenas smiled and Shen Tong high-five.
Jefferson put his basketball cap directly on Shentong's head and said with a smile: "Do you miss the days of playing with us?"
Everyone around the venue was surprised.
"Who is that No. 219? Actually know Gilbert and Richard?"
"The three of them seem familiar."
"Damn, I remember! All three of them seem to be players of the Arizona Wildcats."
"Ah ... that No. 219 is that ... the second half of the game, the one who made the three-point lore, what is it called?"
"STO!"
"Correct."
"But looking at him just plain ..."
......
"Loren asked me to bring you a message, he supports you mentally, but he is still trying to make himself more secure, so he can't come over." Jefferson said.
"Shen, Richard and I made a special trip to cheer you on, don't let us down." Arenas said head-on.
Shentong thumbs up.
Put the basketball cap back on Jefferson's head.
Walked onto the court.
......
The second half begins.
The point guard dribble with zero assists in the first half of the red team just passed the half.
Heard a roar.
"Damn, don't bother, give Shentong the ball!" Arenas shouted.
