10. Animal-like opponents (the second leader~)
After a day, although he met many people, Zhang Hao once again felt the inconvenience of this era. Even if he met, it would be difficult to contact him in the future!
Mobile phones are luxury these days, let alone poor high school students... If many black high school students cannot get scholarships, they basically cannot go to college. Americans will no longer rely on their parents after they turn 18? Zhang Hao really wants to beat the public intellectuals in China to death! They all brag about Europeans and Americans as their fathers.
Even many NBA players are reluctant to spend money on mobile phones, like brick-like mobile phones...
Zhang Hao believes that this may also be the reason why the media is more likely to create a situation where two stars are in opposition these days, because most people nowadays only have passive channels to receive information and are completely unable to take the initiative to learn more.
The next day, Zhang Hao, Pierce, Tyron Lu, Nazel Mohammed and his fours came to the Great Western Forum Arena again.
Although I met many people, the four people who had the most chatting together at the beginning got together and got more familiar with each other.
In fact, others are like Zhang Hao. Most of them don’t know each other. Some have heard of names and have watched videos or photos. However, most people even know less about some future stars than Zhang Hao. This is actually not far from that of domestic students who have heard of a certain academic master. However, they are all half public figures, and the possibility of getting to know each other is higher.
Even Pierce, although he could chat very well no matter which group he got into, in fact, there were not many people he really knew, most of them who met at Adidas training camp last year.
When they arrived at the Great Western Forum Arena, under the guidance of the staff, the four of them received their own participating number cards, and the competition clothing was prepared by themselves, and the school uniforms they all brought.
Very few people participated in the three-point competition, with only 6 people in total, all of whom advanced directly and prepared for the game on the night of the 28th.
A total of 25 people participated in the slam dunk contest. The qualifiers will be held this afternoon, each with two dunks. The invited retired players will be judges and decide which 6 players will participate in the finals on the night of the 28th. The next 26th and 27th will be prepared.
There are 45 candidates for high school students. They will be randomly assigned to 5 teams according to their positions. Each team will play two trial matches today and tomorrow. After tomorrow's game, local student audiences in Los Angeles will be voted on the spot. According to the position, a total of 10 All-Stars starters and 8 substitutes will be cast. Finally, according to the voting results, they will be divided into two teams by position.
Among the candidate All-Star high school students, two participated in the dunk contest, one was Carter and the other was Tyron Lu!
Zhang Hao only participated in the slam dunk contest, while Mohammud only participated in the All-Star Trials.
The dunk contest is quite regular, but Zhang Hao felt that McDonald's was just a joke, as if he was just to join in a game, which was far from the professional selection method that Pierce told him about the Adidas training camp! No wonder Pierce rejected McDonald's All-Star for two consecutive years, and he didn't come to join in the dunk contest this year.
After Tyron Luling's total number card for the star selection competition, he came to the other side to get the number card for the dunk competition. Unexpectedly, he actually saw Pierce!
Tyron Lu asked in surprise: "Paul, are you participating in the slam dunk contest?"
"Yes, what does your look mean?" Pierce saw the look that made him furious again!
"You got drunk last night? No! We didn't drink anymore." Tyron Lu was really surprised.
"Do you think I can't deduct it?" Pierce snorted coldly after saying that.
Tyron Lu nodded honestly.
Pierce was very upset and said, "Don't be fooled by my body shape. I'm trying to maintain my strength. My bounce is super good. If you don't believe me, wait and see! I'm the seed candidate for this year's slam dunk contest!"
"Oh? Really? Then I must watch your game well."
"No, just because I'm too strong, I don't want to participate in the high school students' competitions. I just came to accompany Aix, so I chose to withdraw from the competition."
“…”
Talkbox + funny guy... This is completely different from the Pierce in Zhang Hao's future memory!
Joining the story, did this guy change his temperament after being stabbed more than a dozen times? Just like Teacher Sa's personality changed after being stabbed by Jack Ma?
Zhang Hao felt that it would be better to be a quiet handsome man next to Pierce, so don’t make people think they are the same!
Yes, Pierce withdrew from the competition just after receiving the number card.
However, Zhang Hao really didn't have much expectations for Pierce's participation in the competition. This chattering friend can only embarrass himself on the competition. It seems that Pierce lost weight when she was in college, but now she is really fat! It's better not to participate.
Pierce withdrew from the competition but did not leave. He wanted to stay in the hotel for two days. As long as they accepted the invitation and reported, they could stay until the 29th check-out, because except for winning the championship in several events, the rest of the competition is equivalent to "free labor".
No matter how old Pierce has, he is still a high school student, just to take advantage of the situation and stay in a hotel.
Zhang Hao came to the training ground for preparation. Except for him, most of the other 23 black people did not know each other. I met Desmond Mason, Ricky Davis, Tyron Lu, and Carter. Among them, Tyron Lu was familiar with each other.
Zhang Hao wanted to know more "geniuses", maybe some of these people became NBA players but were not famous, but he didn't know them, but after thinking about it, he still gave up.
Yesterday, Tyron Lu was alone, so it was easier for him to chat and chat. Now there are a group of people, he is a person of other skin color... just treat it normally.
Zhang Hao is very confident about things like the slam dunk contest!
He has always been very good at bounce. When Scott Collins was attracted by him, he was his judgment of the ball landing point and excellent bounce. When he was just the first year of high school, what could he tell? Into Scott Collins' eyes, he relied on his athletic ability.
Looking at the eyes of future memories, he was surprised when he saw his 93's bounce evaluation, but he was used to it because he had always been able to jump in contemporary memories.
As for his bounce in California high school, he was not very famous because he didn't want to cause trouble for Pierce. At first, he liked dunks when he first appeared in the league. Once he was excited and directly dunked through the opponent's center, he was then attacked by the opponent's evil offense. Then Pierce took his teammates to fight with the opponent...
Later, Zhang Hao rarely dunked, and his personality was also on the one hand. He liked dunks very much at the beginning, but he was so excited when he first appeared on the stage of the American High School League. Later, the spirit of wanting to dunk hard slowly faded. Dunks were also two points, and layups were also two points. Sometimes dunks on the opponent's head would trigger a fight, which was really unnecessary.
Even though Zhang Hao had a memory of the future, he still felt that he had done a good job in this aspect in the past, and he could not be said to be weak, he just didn't want to cause trouble.
If it were Zhang Hao now, he felt that it was not important to show or not in the game, and it was more important to play well. However, if you have the opportunity to dunk the empty basket, you still have to show it and show your athletic talent.
The above basket is two points, and the dunk is two points, but the problem is, the dunk is handsome!
Before, he caused a fight when he dunked across the man. He didn't understand at that time that dunk across the man and dunked empty baskets were two different things.
However, in the past, he did not have any fancy dunks. Like other domestic players, his playing style is very simple, including cutting in the running position, receiving and shooting the ball, blocking the wall board, and taking a stern look. He said he was a small forward, but in fact he was a power forward or even a center. Domestic players have always played styles of centers since they were young.
However, in high school competitions, unless there are inside players like Jermaine O'Neal and Garnett, the double inside combination of him and Pierce will be invincible.
After the 25 participating players completed the warm-up preparation under the guidance of professional trainers hired by McDonald's, they began to undergo physical tests.
The three-point competition and the All-Star Game are not very concerned. Inviting so many people is just to make the scene bigger. Now their All-Star Game is not valuable, but they also want to make the competition as in Adidas Training Camp. The entire test process is still quite professional.
The jump tests the difference between standing and running jumping and running.
These 25 energetic teenagers went all out to show their physical fitness during the test...
But when Zhang Hao went to jump, many people were surprised. The 43-inch running jump! That is 109 cm!
There are three taller than Zhang Hao, Desmond Mason, 45 inches, which is 114 cm; Carter is 46 inches, which is 116 cm; and there is also a 16-year-old sophomore named Cory Maghetti, who has a 45-inch running and jump.
The other people's bounces were not bad either, they all reached at least 40 inches, which was 100 cm. There were several equivalent to Zhang Hao, which made Zhang Hao feel...there were animals around him!
However, Zhang Hao's skin color and such bounce really surprised others. Due to the huge Chinese population, any country can see Chinese or Chinese. In terms of athletic ability, Zhang Hao really has different perceptions.
Of course that's all, and the others' bounces are also very good.
Zhang Hao observed these opponents, and what made him pay special attention to was Corey Margeti. He just looked at this senior high school kid with thick hair and thin figure. Zhang Hao really didn't recognize that this was the super muscular man who could fight James, Artest, Anthony, Pierce and others before 2010.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. In just two days, I saw many famous basketball players in the future. Zhang Hao learned this very well. If he did not participate in such a competition, he would not have the chance to contact these people at this time.
