35. The ambition of the young snake
As for beating Garnett in the shooting game... he was very excited when he first defeated Marbury, a famous player in his memory, but after being challenged, he easily won more times every time, so there was nothing to be excited about. He won the mid-range shot with Garnett, which did not make Zhang Hao excited.
He knew that in addition to his ability to shoot mid-range and run and jump, he was very different from Garnett in other aspects, and even had a big gap in ball control.
Back in the hotel room, Bibi was reading again. Although he was considered black and had some Chinese ancestry, he looked white. His hobbies were different from most black players. His biggest hobbies were reading books. He was preparing to take enough credits before participating in the draft in college. Diploma and knowledge are very important. He has a complete future plan, not just playing basketball, but playing for more than ten years. Most players even have only two or three years of career. The future is far more than just basketball.
Zhang Hao did not disturb Bibi, so he went to take a shower, lay down and prepared to go to bed early, and had to get up early to train tomorrow morning.
He didn't practice more at night because every morning someone in the next room would come to ask them to go to training together.
"Special signing player Zhang Hao's ability evaluation: 65
Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 76, bounce 93, flexibility 95, physical strength 90...
Shooting: 51 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, 86 layups...
Technology: 54 ball control, 44 pass, 86 catch and shoot…”
After looking at his ability evaluation, Zhang Hao felt a little disappointed. After the nearly month-long rapid improvement phase passed, the speed of his strength growth instantly slowed down. He also knew that this was a normal situation. He did not delay and worked very hard in training. It was impossible for him to make any big progress in a week under normal training. The three-pointers and passes were slightly improved, and there were basically no other ability values.
But putting aside these losses, Zhang Hao would not feel that the efforts during this period were useless!
In the two years before participating in the McDonald's slam dunk contest and Adidas training camp, Zhang Hao encountered few strong opponents, and only a few of them could compare with the strength of the high school students in this training camp. Now I can see a lot every day. Even if I look at their training and look at the one-on-one fights from other high school students from time to time, it is an excellent learning opportunity.
What is really the most important thing is what he learned from the shooting coach and the trainer, how to make his shot better after the training camp!
...
A lot of people in the training camp were worried every day, worried about being eliminated, because in the end only 18 people advanced.
But since the beginning of the test, some people have not experienced the so-called concerns at all, and the training camp has not put any pressure on them.
The training camp requires selecting some players through some things, but the most fundamental thing is the ability of the players. Only those with competent players can play better in the elite game.
This world has always been unfair.
With the top NBA mid-range shooting ability with a 90 ability value and top running and jumping ability, Zhang Hao has not had external pressure from the beginning. At the beginning, he had many worries because he had not realized that he was already quite excellent among high school students.
The penultimate day of training is to train teams under the guidance of the unemployed tactical coach hired.
Among the 36 high school students with the strongest talent and personal abilities selected, some high school students with excellent cooperation in the team will be selected.
As a running catcher pitcher and cutting into a cake-type player, Zhang Hao's team cooperates with this kind of thing and has always done this on the court after coming to the United States. Because he has good talent in this regard, the head coach of Inglewood High School has been training him in this regard. Although his running ability is not good, he has good physical strength. The remaining 36 high school students, except Hamilton, who can compete with Zhang Hao in this regard, are far inferior to others.
However, for some people, the last two days were very cruel. After the first day of training, 8 people were eliminated. The remaining 28 people were re-divided into 4 groups after the training on the afternoon of May 15. On the last day, 10 people will be eliminated!
Zhang Hao had long been confident that he would never be the one who was eliminated. There was one person left until now. When he went to see his team cooperate with training, he found that the other team cooperated very well. Unlike when he was in the high school team, he took on everything alone. This guy played more freely.
This guy... is wrong, he is a junior, 17-year-old Corey Benjamin. Whenever he met Zhang Hao, he would try to provoke him in different ways. He has never bothered Zhang Hao again the next day since the training camp.
This person is just pretentious. When Corey Benjamin was annoyed by Zhang Hao before, Zhang Hao felt annoyed, but now he is not annoyed by him anymore. Instead, he is a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Hao's group was completed in just 24 hours and was disbanded immediately. Moreover, after training for a day, four of the teammates were eliminated directly, leaving only him and Marbury... In this regard, Zhang Hao, who saw more than 70 people being eliminated in the past few days, has become accustomed to this.
Some things in Adidas training camp are really good, maybe even better than the NCAA. Some players in NCAA teams leave because they want to graduate or participate in drafts and play professional games, so they can no longer play college games. If they really enter the professional arena, they will definitely see their teammates leave every year because of their poor teammates or various reasons... or they may leave by themselves.
Adidas Training Camp uses a daily elimination system, instead of training for all members to the end, so that high school students can feel the cruelty of society in advance.
On May 16th, the last day of the training camp, another day after the team under the guidance of the tactical coach, the training camp was over.
At 5:30 pm, the final 18-person list was released!
The 10 people who were eliminated for the last time were notified after the training and asked them to go back to the hotel and have to leave tomorrow.
The remaining 18 people who took a shower and rested and returned to the training ground at 5:30.
This is what Zhang Hao knew after returning to the training ground after taking a shower. He did not have any accidents and was selected for the Elite Competition!
Zhang Hao, Kobe, Hamilton, Bibby and his group stood together. Marbury originally wanted to join in the fun, but the three people next to Zhang Hao were strong and cold. Marbury couldn't stand it anymore, and the chatterbox was gone and she flicked her head.
Finally arrived at the last step of the training camp. Zhang Hao was very excited. He really learned a lot of things in this training camp, especially those teams. His previous team cooperation could only rely on physical strength to run around, take advantage of the opportunity to find opportunities to cooperate with high school competitions... Thanks to his teammate Pierce.
But here, he felt for the first time what true cooperation is.
He now wants to know the final grouping, tomorrow is preparation and media day, and the day after tomorrow will be the game, and the next time is the time to announce the list of the two teams.
Kobe and Bibby are also looking forward to it, while Hamilton always follows the arrangements.
The expectation of Kobe and Bibi have completely different ideas. Bibi will look at Zhang Hao from time to time. He wants to form a team with Zhang Hao, who doesn't want to partner with such an off-ball pitcher?
And he wanted to see Zhang Hao's strength on the court from the perspective of his teammates.
And Kobe... he doesn't want to be with Zhang Hao, nor does he want to be with Garnett!
In this training camp, Kobe was not only the first to relied on his father to show off his baby, but later, he was no longer the focus of the training camp.
In terms of the strongest, Garnett, it is said that NBA lottery teams will send people to watch the game in the elite match on May 18.
The most amazing thing about this is Odom. As Adidas promotes, no matter where he plays, he can be ranked among the top three in high school students.
The representative of the counterattack was Zhang Hao. After the team training began, Adidas made a collection of videos of Zhang Hao accepting the challenge and posted them online. Tens of thousands of people spread it through the Internet. Even some sports newspapers reported that Zhang Hao crushed Garnett in the CPC duel, knowing that Zhang Hao was unable to lose in the CPC duel.
Although he is undefeated, the king of Zhongzhao should be marked as a high school student, Zhang Hao has indeed gained a lot of fame.
He has super athletic ability and super mid-range shots. Although his skills and pass control are not excellent, a player has both athletic ability and shooting, and his height is pretty good, that's already very good.
Kobe, despite everything being done well, failed to stand out in the training phase.
Then, Kobe can only choose to take the lead in the game.
Chapter completed!
