When Lingxuan performed the side profile.
The Rockets 'general manager, Morey, also came over to see the situation of Lingxuan's trial.
"Mike, what do you think of this Chinese?”
"Haha, Morey, this guy's talent is average. I'm not optimistic about him. I understand your desire to sign a Chinese player, but the Rockets might not need him.”
Head coach McHale and Morey watched from the sidelines as Ling Xuan performed one event after another.
"Let's test it first!"
Mo Lei frowned.
Was his hope going to be dashed?
With Yao Ming's retirement, the Rockets continued to look for a Chinese to retain the Chinese market.
In the beginning, Mo Lei thought that Lin Shuhao could do it. However, after observing for a while, he realized that Lin Shuhao, who was of Chinese descent, wasn't highly recognized in China. It didn't achieve the effect that Mo Lei wanted, so Mo Lei was a little anxious.
There was also a reason why McHale did not like Ling Xuan. His talent was too poor, his game quotient was not high, and he had the height of a small forward. It was not good for him to play as a point guard.
Not long after.
The assistant coach, Finch, came over with the side profile report.
As soon as Finch came over, he said in a trembling voice,""Mike, my God, what did those people who joined forces to train during the draft do? This guy is a genius!"
" Ling's athletic ability is nightmarish. He has a 1.12-meter in-place jump, which is even better than Jordan and McGrady. He has super fast starting speed and explosive power like a spring man. Coupled with his height, he can easily rush into the paint and end the battle with a layup or a dunk. He has the body to become a top small forward. Most importantly, he's only 19 years old.”
"His stride is about one meter longer than Durant's stride, even though Durant is much taller than him. Therefore, he can make a three-step layup outside the three-point line. When Ling Xuan starts, his speed can reach 32km/s, which is comparable to Paul's speed.”
" When Ling jumps, he can reach the ball more than 60 centimeters above the hoop. This incredible jumping ability gives Ling the ability to work in the air. He can control the air near the basket. This is comparable to James, and it is 8% higher than the average range of movement of NBA centers.”
" Ling can use his arm to pull 90 degrees in the air to avoid the block, and this only takes 0.2 seconds to complete. Even if the air movement slightly affects his take-off, he can still maintain an excellent feel and throw the ball with the ideal rotation. The ball he throws now has more than 600 degrees of rotation per second!!”
"What?"
"F * ck."
Upon hearing the report, Morey and McHale both gasped in shock. McHale hurriedly took the physical examination report.
Mo Lei also couldn't wait to watch.
They did not believe that such talent was actually a talent that was chosen out of nowhere! Were the brains of the scouts of the 30 teams filled with sh * t?
"A guy like this was not selected? He's really a monster!"
Halfway through, McHale concluded that Lingxuan's talent was top-notch.
"With this talent, he would be a lottery show in any year. How could he not be selected?”
Mo Lei asked the same question.
If Ling Xuan showed this talent before the draft, the Rockets would be willing to bet on the first-round pick even if his basketball skills were bad.
"Ling said that he caught a cold and had a fever when he participated in the physical examination. His body was very weak and he only recovered after the talent show.”
The assistant coach asked Ling Xuan the same question as them, and Ling Xuan gave him a reason.
"He's a reserve point guard at UCLA, and his stats aren't that great. March Madness encountered racial discrimination on the team and was placed on the bench, so the media and scouts don't know his true strength.”
Hearing this, Mo Lei rubbed his head. He didn't quite believe it, but this reason seemed very reasonable. Race discrimination was a suitable reason!
"I've arranged a 20-minute training match. Let's go and take a look.”
The assistant manager continued. He knew that these two bosses still needed to be verified.
"Alright, let's go see if this guy is the next Westbrook.”
McHale closed the physical test report. He and Mo Lei looked at each other. The two of them already had high expectations for Lingxuan.
UCLA's bench was a place where monsters could easily be born.
…………
Lingxuan had been looking forward to the competition for a long time.
No matter how awesome his physical test was, everything depended on his performance on the field.
On the basketball court, the Rockets players chatted as they watched Ling Xuan warm up.
Practicing matches were almost always filled with substitutes and one or two main players. The core players had been arranged to watch videos and were not here at this time.
The substitute small forward, Garcia, said," Monica, this Chinese guy said he wanted to play small forward. He came over to fight for the position with us.”
The tall, rich, and handsome man, Joey Parsons, replied,""It doesn't matter if it's a point guard or a small forward. It's not like you don't know the relationship between the higher-ups and the boss.”
The tall, rich, and handsome man who occupied the starting small forward position of the Rockets looked down on Ling Xuan, who was a draft pick, even though he was only a second-round rookie himself.
"Yes, we already have Jeremy. We don't need two Chinese faces. We'll teach him a lesson later.”
“OK！”
The NBA was filled with challenges all the time. Faced with this unknown opponent, the two decided to team up.
