Zhang Hao's heart was cold. No wonder not many people knew where the Nets were. Before he joined the Nets, he didn't know that there was a place like Rutherford Town in Jersey City.

The key is that the geographical location is awkward. Although this place is under the jurisdiction of Jersey City, it takes an hour to drive to Jersey City. Although there is no traffic jam, it is too far to drive to and from get off work every day, so it takes an hour to and from traffic jams.

I passed by Pennsylvania next door, but I hadn't been far away from Jersey City.

To make a good place, Zhang Hao worked hard to find a point that could comfort himself - at least the environment is good, with farmland and gardens everywhere. Compared with Jersey City, which has severe environmental pollution, the environment here is at least good.

However, after coming to the stadium, Zhang Hao found that the Continental Airlines Arena looked really good. After reaching the playoffs for two consecutive years in 1993, it received a large amount of investment and renovated, and it looked like a new stadium.

With the help of the security guard, put the luggage in the lounge, and Zhang Hao came to the head coach's office to report.

Head coach Butch Baird saw Zhang Hao maintain his body shape well and was very satisfied. He thought that Kenny Anderson, the core point guard who returned to the team a few days ago, had gained more than 20 pounds or more than ten kilograms. Now he has become a fat man close to 90 kilograms... Kenny Anderson is only 183 cm tall, so he has a headache.

Butch Baird asked: "Aix, how are you in good condition? How many days should you take a physical test today?"

Zhang Hao replied: "I can do physical tests at any time. I want to train under the guidance of the coach as soon as possible."

Butch Baird nodded, which was in line with his impression of Zhang Hao. Although he could not contact the players during the suspension period, all NBA teams were not idle either. They sent scouts to pay attention to what the players were doing. Among the players they focused on, Zhang Hao, a high school rookie. They knew that Zhang Hao had not been idle all summer and did not look like some rookies like they entered the NBA and made money.

For example, the point guard Sean Lespet chosen by the Trail Blazers did not play in an NBA game and owed more than 500,000 US dollars in Las Vegas. As soon as the suspension ended, the Trail Blazers traded Sean Lespet to the Bucks. The Bucks were forced to pay 30% of their salary in advance for three years, saving Sean Lespet from being sued by the casino.

The Nets paid Zhang Hao 30% of his salary in advance for a season, using the exclusion method.

If Zhang Hao gets money and becomes arrogant, then there is no need to focus on training, just think that the lottery has failed.

Anyway, the salary is always paid. If the lottery fails, there will be a takeover in Los Angeles...

"OK, Aix, let's go to the locker room first..."

Zhang Hao led to the locker room under Butch Baird. The innermost wardrobe is Kenny Anderson, the only All-Star player in the Nets who has been selected as an All-Star player. Zhang Hao learned some things long after Pierce's nagging and chose the closet closest to the locker room door.

Butch Baird was very satisfied. The rookie was doing well and asked: "Aix, which number do you want in your jersey?"

Jersey number... After thinking about it, Zhang Hao thought about the news he saw during breakfast today and said, "No. 8, coach, is anyone using it?"

Butch Baird responded: "No...why choose No. 8? There seems to be no famous player in this number. All I remember is Moses Malone, and he didn't wear it for long."

Zhang Hao replied: "There is no special reason. If there are 8 players in front of me, I'm curious about where they are better than me. In addition to this, there is also... it's not very important. I'll have No. 8!"

"It's really...haha, let's do body measurements first and customize the jerseys and training suits for you." The boy's character made Butch Baird, who was once an NBA player, couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Hao nodded and followed Butch Baird to the training ground. The assistant coach was ready for physical examination.

Looking at Zhang Hao who was going to test, Butch Baird felt that special feeling again. The last time he met Zhang Hao, when he talked about the contract the next day after the draft, he felt Zhang Hao's conversation that was far more mature than his peers during his communication.

Neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor arrogant... In terms of psychological quality, not only high school students, but many players who graduated from college and entered the NBA are not as good as Zhang Hao.

After conducting the height, wingspan, weight, height... and so on, Zhang Hao went to warm up. He was wearing sportswear and sneakers. Although he had not obtained the team's training suit, it did not affect the warm-up and physical test.

When the trainer guided Zhang Hao’s warm-up, he found that this rookie was particularly professional in warm-up!

Not only is he professional, but he is also patient, he treats himself as a veteran in his 30s, without any casual feeling, and he is very focused on warming up.

He has worked for the Nets for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has met a rookie who attaches so much importance to warm-up!

Most rookies do not pay much attention to the warm-up because they are young. Some rookies even tend to warm up before the game. Many rookies suffer from injuries when they first enter the NBA, which is related to not paying attention to this aspect.

The trainer was surprised by Zhang Hao. On the other hand, Butch Baird looked at Zhang Hao's static physical test record and a question mark appeared in his mind - we chose a small forward and finally got a power forward?

Nowadays, Zhang Hao is so tall that he basically plays as a power forward, and some of them plays as a center.

Height is 206 cm, wingspan is 216 cm, weight is 96 kg, height is 272 cm...

This static physical fitness, in addition to being too light in weight, is a power forward!

Very beautiful static physical fitness, but will this affect Zhang Hao's mobility?

Butch Baird is worried about this. There are indeed cases where players play outside in high school, but suddenly they grow taller in college, and after graduating from college, they become inside. There are even situations where they play point guards in junior high school and early high school, and when they graduate from high school, they become centers.

What he likes is Zhang Hao's athletic ability + shooting. He now feels that he may have done something wrong, or that Zhang Hao has done something wrong in participating in the draft after graduating from high school. Zhang Hao should play in amateur competition for two or three years, and then participate in the draft after changing his body shape. He can also adapt to his body shape changes in college.

After nearly an hour of warm-up preparation, Zhang Hao started a test of dynamic physical fitness.

He is familiar with it. Zhang Hao is already very experienced in physical testing and has a stable mentality. He has been selected anyway, the contract has been signed, and the salary paid in advance has been almost paid in advance has been paid. There is nothing to worry about. Just show yourself with all your strength.

During the physical test, Zhang Hao felt very good, and he did not fluctuate much from his performance in the few tests before leaving Los Angeles.

When it comes to the technical test, it is mainly shooting tests. Zhang Hao also feels that he is in good condition and shows his abilities very well.

He has done his best, not knowing how his test situation looks to the coaches of the NBA team, nor do he knowing what the new teammates who came to the stadium later than him had commented on his test performance, but he did his best anyway.

Little did he know that Butch Baird looked at the three-face record sheets of Zhang Hao's latest test report, and his head was a question mark.
