Chapter 81 Physical Test and Competition

Su Yi followed the request and lined up to prepare for the physical examination.

Standing behind him are Blake Griffin and Stephen Curry.

The three of them were talking and laughing, not nervous at all. In fact, for these most popular rookies, the physical test is just like going through a process.

First is the static test of height, weight and arm span.

Under normal circumstances, players will have some mistakes when reporting their height. For example, Iverson and Nash's actual height is lower than their reported height, and Durant's actual height is higher than his reported height.

Therefore, some team coaches will come over to inspect the products during testing.

Soon Su Yi got his transcript:

The barefoot height is 203.675cm, the weight is 100kg, the wingspan is 217.823cm, the standing reach is 2.69cm, and the body fat rate is 6.9%.

The data provided by Su Yi are all real and there is no moisture at all.

Griffin also stood behind Su Yi for a static test.

What shocked the coaches was that Griffin's height was actually real. They were used to big men having to falsely report his height by two or three centimeters, and some even falsely reported his water content by 5 centimeters.

But soon, Griffin tested his wingspan.

And this one project made the coaches retract their optimistic evaluation of Griffin.

Because he is 206cm tall and only has a wingspan of 211cm.

For a professional player, this body proportion is no different from that of a Tyrannosaurus rex.

Seeing the expressions of these coaches changing from excitement to despair, elementary school student Curry snickered behind him and was caught on the spot by Su Yi.

Soon Curry's test results came out, with a height of 191cm and a wingspan of 192cm...

The next step is dynamic testing,

Vertical jumping on the spot is not what Su Yi is good at. Scouts and coaches themselves also know that Su Yi is not the kind of guy who jumps violently.

He just jumped casually and got a score of 71.85cm, ranking 37th among the 47 players who participated in this test.

The maximum bounce after sprinting is 87.63cm, ranking 25th among 47 players.

Griffin's in-situ bounce is 81cm, ranking second.

Curry's in-situ jump is actually 75cm, ranking 20th.

...

84 kg bench press..

As a third-position player, Su Yi lifted the ball 20 times, ranking third among all players.

This data directly shocked the scouts, team coaches and front office staff.

Because Luke Harlan Gowdy (23 times) and Blake Griffin (22 times) ahead of him are both inside players.

Many 5-position players in the NCAA don't have this kind of power.

In addition, Harden lifted the barbell 17 times, which is unparalleled among defenders.

Curry's score is 10 times.

...

Four points move within the three-second zone.

This item is mainly to test the player's flexibility.

Su Yi’s time was 10.47 seconds, ranking third.

Blake Griffin ranked 14th with 10.95 seconds, Curry and Harden both ranked 11.1 seconds, ranking 19th and 21st respectively.

...

3/4 sprint run.

Su Yi's time was 3.13 seconds, tied for seventh place with Harden.

Stephen Curry took a casual walk and ranked 30th among all players.

...

Su Yi's physical test results can be said to be quite good. The static test is better than Griffin's, and the dynamic test is basically the same between the two.

But in general, 2009 was a small year for the draft, and the physical test data of these rookies were not outstanding.

In a hurry, 50 players had completed the physical testing session.

Basically, the players' dynamic test and static test results are not much different from the information previously obtained.

Next comes the highlight of the joint trial—the group competition.

The managers and coaches of each team walked to the sidelines with the draft reports of the players they were paying attention to.

This is what they are most concerned about. They want to see on the spot whether these players really have the problems and strengths reflected in the scouting report.

Su Yi remembered what Director Zhang told him. In this game, he should highlight his strengths that he had not shown before.

After grouping according to position, Su Yi got his teammates.

Blue team: Lester Hudson (PG), James Harden (SG), Su Yi (SF), Tyler Hansbrough (PF), Blake Griffin (C)

Red team: Stephen Curry (PG), DeRozan (SG), Danny Green (SF), Jeff Ayers (PF), Hasheem Thabeet (C)

This is a very high-quality game, and the average level is far beyond the NCAA finals.

The groups are also carefully assigned according to each person's playing style, in order to have a well-matched game.

The center of the Red Team, Hasheem Thabeet, is 2.21cm tall and is known as "Giant Thabeet". He is ranked second in ESPN's draft predictions.

The blue team's point guard Lester Hudson is a 1.85m pitcher and the only player in NCAA history to have achieved a quadruple-double.

Su Yi is the focus of this game, and another point of attention is the direct dialogue between Griffin and Giant Thabeet.

Red team center Thabeet got the rebound, and Curry controlled the ball.

Thabeet needs a good position in the paint and is ready to beat Griffin in isolation.

This big man is known for his defense and shot-blocking.

His dribbling movements were relatively slow. Just as he was about to shoot the basketball, Su Yi suddenly double-teamed him and stole the basketball like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Su Yi's opening steal was recognized by the scouts.

transition attack,

Lester Hudson controlled the ball, faced the double-teaming of Curry and DeRozan, and distributed the ball to Su Yi.

North Carolina power forward Tyler Hansbrough came to set up a pick-and-roll for Su Yi, firmly blocking his former teammate Danny Green behind him.

Su Yi charged towards the inside with full firepower. Facing the giant Thabit who came to defend him, he saw Griffin's position with his peripheral vision.

At the most appropriate time, a no-look pass was made and the basketball was thrown behind Thabeet.

Griffin caught the basketball in the air, swung it into a windmill and dunked the ball into the basket.

With a 2-meter-2 big center, Griffin can dunk directly.

Only now did Su Yi understand that it was so easy to start the game when his teammates were strong.

The red team had the ball and Curry missed a shot against Hudson.

Just as Thabeet was about to collect the rebound, Su Yi suddenly descended from the sky and nimbly jumped over from behind, taking the lead in grabbing the offensive rebound.

In this most intense college competition, Thabeet's slow movement was exposed.

Hudson held the ball to organize, and Su Yi moved to the inside again.

The basketball was then passed in, facing Jeff Ayers' defense.

Su Yi hit from behind, stepped back, and hit big shots with almost no interference.

As soon as the game started, Su Yi had a comprehensive performance, with 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal.

The red team Thabeet's lack of offensive methods was fully exposed. Facing the double-teaming of Su Yi and Griffin under the basket, he had no means at all and frequently struck iron.

Without Su Yi's cooperation, Curry had no feeling at all against this group of teammates.

Curry wanted to show his organizational skills, but these teammates couldn't score.

Curry wants to show his shooting ability, but these teammates always give the ball back to him at the most difficult time.

After the opening, Curry hit two three-pointers in a row.

The chemical reaction between the red team members is almost negative...

Su Yi's organizational forward plays with ease.

As soon as he gets the ball, Tyler Hansbrough comes over to set the pick-and-roll.

Su Yi broke through and entered the inside, and DeRozan and Danny Green double-teamed.

The basketball was thrown to Hudson on the outside and he hit another three-pointer.

Originally thought to be a close match, the red team barely showed any effective cooperation at the beginning.

As for the blue team, under the organization of Su Yi, Hansbrough had a mid-range shot, Hudson had a three-pointer, and Griffin was flying in the sky.

Not to mention that he himself is still unsolvable on his own.

As a result, a 15:2 attack wave was launched at the beginning.

The only goal was Curry's throw to Hudson.
