Chapter 322

1999 was the last year of the 90s, and it was at the crossroads of history.

Before the NBA draft this year, many talented players also appeared, and some of them had already booked high picks in the draft.

The start of the Warriors trial camp should be considered late, because the Warriors are a playoff team, and the focus of their previous work was actually on the playoffs.

Just like when Qin Fei participated in the draft before, the Sonics actually had a trial training camp, but it started relatively late.

Because the Supersonics were fully preparing for the finals during that time, Qin Fei did not catch up with this trial training camp.

As a result, during the draft, the Sonics unexpectedly selected him again.

Tryout camps are not absolute either.

But from the manager's point of view, there should be talent in the trial camp, and it should be fully presented and tested.

On the day the Warriors trial camp opened, a total of 23 players were invited to try out.

The more famous players include Lamar Odom, Richard Hamilton, Sean Marion, Trajan Langdon, James Posey, William Avery, Jeff Foster, Ron Artest and so on.

The training camp was hosted by Warriors assistant coach Haderba.

Haderba is also an experienced coach. He has spent several years in the Warriors. He is relatively strict and rigid, and his attitude towards work is also meticulous.

The rookies stepped into the training hall with exclamation. Haderba and several other staff members lined up in a very majestic manner.

But basketball players are generally more lively.

When the players got together, they were all young men of about the same age, and they all looked like they couldn't finish talking.

"Quiet, don't talk!"

Haderba frowned and scolded loudly.

The group of young men were stunned by the yelling, and all of them immediately kept silent, not daring to speak.

"I am very glad that you can come to participate in the trial camp of the Golden State Warriors. Our trial camp is divided into three parts."

"I think you guys have been to other tryout camps before, and most of the rules are actually the same."

"The first part is the basic quality measurement, including your standing height, standing height, approach running, speed test, strength test, etc."

Haderba introduced the matters one by one. Some agents looked at the infield outside the training hall.

The training camp is not open to the public, so no one is allowed to take pictures and video.

There are special staff inside the Warriors, holding cameras and leaving some video data.

Lamar Odom, wearing the No. [-] jersey, should be the biggest player in this training camp.

Odom is 2 meters tall and is a left-handed player with comprehensive skills.

The guy averaged 17.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in his first and only season at Rhode Island, made the "Atlantic Division" first team, and was named Rookie of the Year.

But he is actually a sophomore student.

As a freshman, because of identity issues and insufficient credits, he sat on the "ball supervisor" for the entire season and was not eligible to play.

Next to Odom, there was a very strong young black guy with a round cut, chewing gum leisurely, watching other people on the field try out.

Ron Artest.

Like Odom, both of them are players from New York, and they have known each other since a long time, so they naturally get together when they meet.

"If it weren't for me, I wouldn't come here for trial training."

Although Odom only played for one year, the NCAA data exploded, and the draft market was very good, at least they were all top ten picks.

But the agent told Odom that every year there will be some high-ranking players upset and fall to a lower position, so you must not be negligent.

What's more, "problem players" like Odom are most likely to affect the draft due to off-court problems.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some teams will take a gamble, betting that young people will mature slowly after they grow up.

The character problem is solved, are there still problems on the court?

Artest's pick is lower than Odom's.

Artest played at St. John's University in New York. Under his leadership, St. John's University entered the crazy March this season, averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

"You think I want to come here? You know, I'm only going for the New York Knicks, they're the best team in the world."

Artest confided his heart, which is very different from Odom's thoughts.

Odom wants to go for a high pick. The higher the pick, the more money and the higher the status.

And Artest wants to be closer to home. After all, a large family in New York is still waiting for him to support him after entering the league. The closer he is to home, the better he can take care of his family.

In the end, both of them came to the Warriors for trial training. This is also a solution. The Warriors have a 12th overall pick in the first round.

For Odom, this is a guaranteed choice, and for Artest, it is to increase the probability of being selected.

If you really entered the lottery area, you can accept it!

The two looked at the players on the field for trial training. Most of them were as thin as bamboo poles, including the two of them. They were also very slender, but they looked stronger among a group of thin people.

Especially this guy Artest, Odom couldn't help taking a few more glances, what did this guy eat to grow up, the muscles on his arms

Undoubtedly, in terms of body, the two are the best in the entire trial camp. There is only one who can be compared with the two of them, and that is the strange man with his arms above his knees and a little taciturn - Sean Marion.

The second part of the trial training is the team competition.

After the team game is over, the third individualized test will be launched. The main content of the test is a single trial, including shooting, dribbling, etc. For players with different styles, inside and outside, there will be staff to conduct different tests instead of the same standard.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the stadium.

Artest and Odom also stood up with surprise on their faces.

Following Haderba, the young man in a black T-shirt and gray shorts smiled and waved to everyone.

"Qin Fei!"

The eyes of the rookies lit up.

Before entering the NBA, they saw the stars of the NBA, the head players of the Warriors!

Qin Fei is definitely an idol, and his age is not much older than the players on the field. The key is to stand there with a smile on his face, easy to talk, and very friendly.

"Qin Fei is the leading star of our Warriors team, and he also ranked third in scoring per game in the league last season. Next, Qin Fei will select some players to complete the heads-up task as an additional assessment for today's trial training."

Haderba cleared his throat. As the team's assistant coach, he didn't intend to engage in this extra trial training.

But he is only an assistant coach, and he has no right to change the things that the team's uniform team has determined, and can only implement them.

He thought that after he finished speaking, there must be silence.

Unexpectedly, the scene was particularly active. Several young men offered their hands and asked to challenge Qin Fei one-on-one.

"Winning or losing is actually not important, the main thing is to see your basic skills."

Qin Fei explained in the arena: "I know that some of you are very famous players in college, so I am here today, and it is impossible to single out every player. Let's talk about it first, and only pick famous ones."

"I'm more famous!"

Overjoyed, Odom walked up with his hands raised, and came to the front of Qin Fei.

Odom is a thorn, and he is also very good at one-on-one.

As soon as Odom came on, Artest was in a hurry. He also wanted this extra trial training opportunity. Unlike Odom, a guy who just wanted to try his hand, Artest also counted on increasing his chances of being selected.

"I'm also very famous. This Lamar is not good. I have strong strength and good defense. I am more suitable for the test."

Artest bumped into Odom, and Odom staggered, causing the players on the scene to laugh.

"I know both of you, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest, so here you go, both of you, give you three shots each."

Qin Fei originally wanted to select these talents. On the one hand, it was to complete the daily task of improving attributes for today, and on the other hand, it was because he wanted to prove it to Rowell and others. After all, it would be too childish to just study the data and then put forward some opinions on the draft.

As long as he takes the test himself, there are good reasons for which player he is optimistic about and which player he wants.

Otherwise, you can play it yourself, and you come to the test?

"I'll come first!"

Artest glared at Odom, and after being glared at by the grumpy guy, Odom curled his lips and backed away.

The staff threw the ball in and all the players surrounded the half court.

Artest claimed that he defended well, so he took the initiative to stand on the defensive side.

Odom covered his face, knowing that this guy was messing around.

"Anyway, it's a random attack. You shouldn't be messing around, right?"

Qin Fei suddenly remembered something, and looked at Artest warily.

Artest is in a period of excitement, he was taken aback when he heard the words, what do you mean?

"my ribs"

Qin Fei touched his ribs, they looked intact, so he shouldn't be broken by this rookie, right?
