? Butch Baird is a scout and consultant. He is not that good as a head coach. The team¡¯s more outstanding rookie is
However, his analytical skills and vision are very good. This can be seen from the Nets draft in the last seven or eight years. The players he recommended for the Nets to select in the first round are usually not bad, and parallel imports are rare times It doesn't matter which wheel he plays, he loves gambling.
Having previously received an invitation from Reggie Theus to watch the Adidas Training Camp Classic, he was shocked by Zhang Hao's performance in actual combat.
Top-level athletic ability + extremely stable actual shooting, these two points, he regards Zhang Hao as a draft target.
Although he did not send an invitation to Zhang Hao for a trial training, he really investigated Zhang Hao carefully and clearly understood Zhang Hao¡¯s characteristics during the draft¡ª¡ª
??The small forward position has top mobility, excellent jumping, and accurate mid-range shots; his shortcomings are thinness and monotonous skills. It is doubtful whether he can adapt to NBA-level confrontation
" However, if it is just a No. 9 pick and a pitcher trained in the direction of Reggie Miller, as long as Zhang Hao can become a top-level mid-range shooter in the NBA, this pick will not be a loss! After all, losing weight can be improved, and Zhang Hao is only 18 years old.
And Zhang Hao also has good athletic ability, and he can have the athletic ability of the high school dunk king.
To sum up, Butch Baird initially believed that Zhang Hao had the potential to become an All-Star player.
Therefore, Butch Baird decisively took Zhang Hao with the ninth pick. Later, the Lakers wanted to trade Ceballos for Zhang Hao, but he worked hard to get the team to reject the deal. They had Almon - Gilliam is the same type of impact player as Ceballos. As long as Zhang Hao can play well, his role in the Nets and future team building plans will be much stronger than Ceballos.
??A pitcher with excellent athletic ability and off-ball play, as long as he can play in the NBA, every team will want him.
An All-Star level running shooter, on a strong team, is even more effective than a ball-holding superstar!
But Butch Baird didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Hao would grow again in the summer when he turned 18, growing by almost three inches, but it didn¡¯t affect his speed!
That¡¯s okay. Growing taller doesn¡¯t affect your speed. Although it¡¯s surprising, it¡¯s not a rare thing.
But Zhang Hao¡¯s strength has also improved, and it has improved so much that Butch Baird suspected that the weight of the barbell was wrong.
The standard 185 pounds is the 84 kilogram level of bench press. This year's 58 rookies, the average number of bench press times counted during the draft was 9.2 times. The weight and number of times are not very good. After all, the players participating in the draft are all 18 years old. By the age of 23, there is no real professional athlete level strength training, and some players are even still developing.
Zhang Hao, during the trial training, the bench press test was 6 times, which is much lower than those forward players coming out of college, but it is not particularly bad. There was also a situation where a high-ranking rookie could not bench press 84 kilograms even once.
The key is Zhang Hao¡¯s bench press test just now, the number of times was 20 times! It looks like there¡¯s still room left!
By this time, Butch Baird was already worried that Zhang Hao's playing style had completely changed. However, in the following shooting training, Zhang Hao was still so good.
He has grown taller, his strength has improvedhis athletic ability and shooting ability have not been greatly affected!
In terms of shooting, Zhang Hao has to practice hard to maintain his shooting ability so that his shooting is not affected by changes in strength. In other words, it has already been affected, but he has eliminated the effect through training.
In terms of athletic ability and flexibility, the most buggy point of the growth card is revealed - during the use of the growth card, the negative effects that should have been brought about by strength improvement, height growth, etc. are all minimized or even eliminated!
Combining strength, speed, flexibility, and shooting touch Zhang Hao's talent makes Butch Baird unable to stop being amazed!
Although the ball control is inferior to that of NBA-level perimeter players, his technical skills are extremely poor, especially the fact that he does not hold the ball, which makes it impossible for Zhang Hao to become the core of the team alone.
But as a pitcher, whether you can control the ball is not particularly important.
Not every player on the team must be able to hold the ball.
On the contrary, no team does not need this kind of player who does not need to hold the ball.
genius!
A true super genius!
When Butch Baird saw Zhang Hao¡¯s physical test report, his hands were shaking.
It is true that Zhang Hao's current strength is still relatively average, and he has the disadvantage of never playing in an adult game, and he has a serious lack of game experience.
It is my first time to come into contact with professional basketball, but I immediately stepped onto the NBA stage
From all aspects, ZhangThere is still a high chance that Haodu will not be able to fight.
Not to mention a No. 9 pick, even this year¡¯s No. 1 pick may not be able to play.
But Zhang Hao already has the conditions to win!
The probability of hitting it is far higher than Butch Baird originally expected.
Butch Baird just started gambling. He likes to gamble. Compared with most players participating in this year's draft, they have obvious upper limits. Players like Garnett and Zhang Hao whose upper limits are more uncertain, although the lower limit may also be ridiculously low, but He thought it was worth the gamble.
Now, there is a high probability that the bet is right!
¡¡
Butch Baird needs to calm down.
Zhang Hao was in a good mood after the test. He showed all his strengths. This is the best situation for him, at least he did not perform abnormally.
Seeing the opportunity for teammates to come, Zhang Hao already knew who these teammates were from the information given by Pelinka.
The team¡¯s core player Kenny Anderson, backup shooting guard Greg Graham, 84 golden generation veteran substitute Vaughn Fleming, and backup power forward Jason Williams.
These four teammates returned to the team early. Among them, Kenny Anderson¡¯s image is different from what Zhang Hao knows. He is so fat
"Why is he a little fat guy again? Can the difference between photos and real people be so big these days?"
After scolding for a while, Zhang Hao took the initiative to go up and greet several teammates.
Among them, Greg Graham and Vaughan Fleming gave Zhang Hao a friendly hug.
Graham is a very restrained young defender, 1.93 cm tall and thin, only 83 kg. He was a first-round pick in the 1993 draft and is about to start his third season. He has average strength, good athletic ability, and is good at guarding off the ball. , on the offensive end, there are only shots that sometimes work and sometimes don't work.
After the lockout ended, because Graham signed a five-year rookie contract and was not well received by the 76ers, when the Nets traded Coleman away, they brought Graham back and prepared to scrape him. Scratch the lottery ticket. Graham will be 25 years old at the end of November. Some players may break out when they are 25 years old. Anyway, Graham's rookie contract is not expensive.
Fleming is also a player signed back by the Nets after the lockout. He is 33 years old and close to retirement. He has played with the Pacers for the past 11 years. He has never been a star, but he is experienced and good at catching and shooting.
These two people are relatively friendly to Zhang Hao. In his opinion, everyone is new here, so they naturally have to stick together for warmth.
But Jason Williams, a tough guy power forward, was not so friendly to Zhang Hao. He greeted Zhang Hao with a cold expression and left on the pretext of training.
The two new players are friendly to Zhang Hao, and Jason Williams seems to dislike Zhang Hao Zhang Hao can guess the reason for both cases.
But the other one, Zhang Hao, was confused
"Zhang, Ax, right? It's Ax, right? I'm Kenny, and from today on, I'm your big brother! I'll protect you! Don't pay attention to that muscle mass, he's jealous of you, he's worried You took away his playing time, but I am also very jealous of you. How did you practice your shooting? And you can actually bench press 20 times! Wow, I really can¡¯t tell"
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
