I don’t know why, but Randolph just felt that the words ‘Is it true? I don’t believe it’ deserved a slap, and he really wanted to slap him with a shoehorn.

The players introduced themselves decisively and did little to promote team harmony.

There are five people in the 'Aohu Squad', Ruben Bontje is very knowledgeable, and the other two rookies are a good boy and a coward. Liu Xiuzai is talking to Randolph.

The Trail Blazers players are more like Randolph introducing the factions within the team to several new teammates, speaking their own minds.

In the morning, we completed the gathering and filled in the test or filled in the static physical conditions such as height, weight, arm span and so on independently.

Liu Xiu didn't weigh himself. He could know his detailed static physical fitness by looking at the system's basic information, and he wrote it down with a pen.

At noon, the team members all went out to have lunch, but the coaching staff was still busy.

Maurice Cheeks looked at Liu Xiu's physical measurement chart, which said 6 feet 4 inches, and fell into deep thought - at 6 feet 1 inch, I am only a little shorter than a 6 foot 4 inch person?

Maurice Cheeks is very honest when it comes to his height. The Players Times reported his barefoot height at 185 centimeters, even with shoes on. Liu Xiu is only a little over one knuckle taller than him.

This is okay, I can bear it, it's only a few centimeters.

But Liu Xiu's weight column says 198 pounds, which is 90 kilograms.

Maurice Cheeks thought of Derek Anderson, who weighed 90 kilograms.

Although Derek Anderson is much taller at 196 centimeters, it cannot be generalized, but they are both 90 kilograms. Derek Anderson is like a bamboo pole next to Liu Xiu. No matter how wrong there is, it will not be this much different.

Bar!

Although Maurice Cheeks thinks that as long as a player performs well on the court, everything else doesn't matter. After all, he was an NBA player in the 1970s. He has seen almost all the darkest things in the American lower class society, so he doesn't have such a strong concept of "good people."

, but Liu Xiu’s body shape still gave him a headache.

In fact, Liu Xiu has quite a lot of muscles, but his body fat rate is only at the level of ordinary people, about 20%, so he looks like he has an average body shape... and his 206 cm wingspan is very good.

A wingspan of 206 centimeters may not seem like much, but the ratio of Liu Xiu's wingspan to height difference is very good.

Randolph's wingspan minus the height difference is about the same as Liu Xiu's.

Liu Xiu's height is average for the same position, and his weight plus wingspan... Although he is not as round as Randolph, not only is he not that round, but he looks good no matter what, but with height + wingspan + tonnage, he is really the point guard version of Lando.

Husband!

Thinking of this, Maurice Cheeks is also looking forward to Liu Xiu's physical fitness and technical test in the afternoon!

…

At around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the Trail Blazers players returned to the arena, and the coaches came earlier. The new season has begun, and all the coaches have entered the stage of eating casually when they are busy.

After everyone arrived, the coaching staff began to organize warm-ups, divide them into groups, and conduct various tests.

Liu Xiu arrived at the Rose Garden Arena early after finishing lunch. Before anyone else arrived, he had already started to warm up.

He also called others, but no one came. Even Travis Outlaw wanted to take more rest at noon.

He thought very simply. If he had more time to warm up, his performance in the trial might be better - or because he was lazy. He wanted to show his best side in this session, so he wouldn't think about how to show it in the future.

your own physical condition.

Also, by showing his best side, the coach can make a more accurate judgment on whether to send him on the field when arranging on-field tasks.

He wants to take on important responsibilities, but things that are beyond his capabilities, completely impossible to accomplish, or have a very low probability of being accomplished... He is not that mentally retarded to take the blame.

For the group test, there were 20 players in total with official contract players and training camp contract players. Taking into account multiple positions, 4 players were assigned to each position for testing.

Liu Xiu looked at the three competitors - 'Of the three, only Xiao Fei Shou is a pure point guard. The other two can both play shooting guards, but both focus on point guards. Wow, the salaries of these three people add up to 25 million.

Really? The richest owner in the NBA is not bragging that a point guard line costs so much money.'

Liu Xiu seems to know how the Trail Blazers got their super salary of US$105 million last season. The Trail Blazers paid a luxury tax of US$60 million last season.

We arrived at Liu Xiu’s group for a speed test.

Damon Stoudemire is very fast, even if he suffered a serious injury before, he is still very fast, absolutely top speed.

In addition to several competitors, there were other teammates watching. When Damon Stoudemire was testing, his teammates repeatedly exclaimed.

The fastest in the team!

Jeff McGinnis, the team's oldest point guard, a member of the 1996 golden generation, is considered a late bloomer. He only showed star performance for the first time in the 2001-02 season, averaging 14.6 points and 6.2 assists per game. The Trail Blazers are very proud of him.

He was signed for US$10 million in three years. Now at the peak of his 29-year-old career, he is a tall, lanky and fast point guard with outstanding height.

Liu Xiu could tell at a glance that the speed of these two people was incomparable, but it didn't matter. The stadium was so big and speed was important, but it was not about pure speed.

Liu Xiu's performance in the third test was average.

Derek Anderson, this physical fitness is not that good. He is an absolutely tall point guard, 196 centimeters tall, and weighs very light, 88 to 90 kilograms. Liu Xiu felt that the opponent was not faster than him, and he was half a pound, so he secretly took a look at the training.

The statistics from the division are indeed true.

This gave Liu Xiu some confidence - 'My speed is not fast in the NBA, but normally I won't suffer.'

From the information found, Derek Anderson, the new teammate, is both offensive and defensive. He has no outstanding strengths, but he can do everything.

Liu Xiu is willing to compare with such a teammate, which is a good reference object.

However, everyone has different opinions. Liu Xiu can accept his speed. Others see a point guard who is only 1.9 meters tall in shoes and is almost as fast as Derek Anderson, who is 1.96 centimeters tall. Competitors feel that the pressure is much less.

When a non-top player has a lottery pick joining the team at the same position, there is a lot of pressure.

Rookies will always receive more attention, even if they are weaker and perform worse, as long as they show potential, they will get more opportunities.

Damon Stoudemire is no longer a top player, and his sense of crisis is even stronger than that of Derek Anderson and Jeff McGinnis.

These two teammates both play role players, and he, the little flying squirrel, plays the core role! If the core player plays the game, once the strength declines, it will be really difficult to find a job.

When it comes to the strength test, a simple test method-bench press.

This time Liu Xiu applied for the last test as a point guard, and Damon Stoudemire, Jeff McGinnis, and Derek Anderson were tested successively.

Surprisingly, the 178-centimeter flying squirrel actually had the best bench press performance among the three. At the test standard bench press of 185 pounds, which is 84 kilograms, Jeff McGinnis did 11 times, Derek Anderson 9 times, and the little one did the best.

Momonga is 14 times!

'It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. Both McGinnis and Anderson are tall point guards, but they are both very light. They are both over 193 centimeters tall, but weigh less than 90 kilograms...'

It was time for Liu Xiu's group strength test, and more and more people were watching.

Just now, Liu Xiu's speed was average, if his strength was average...this lottery show would be a loser!

After all, Liu Xiu looks like an ordinary person. If you have to say he is fat, he will not be fat. Others don't know that he himself knows that he has quite a lot of muscle density, and even has a lot of fat wrapped around it, but others don't know!

Seeing someone's misfortune makes you happier - human nature always shines brightly.

Here in the Trail Blazers, everyone likes to see their teammates make fools of themselves and lose their temper.

Liu Xiu moved his shoulder joint again, came to the bench press stand, and lay down with the help of the trainer.

There were a lot of people watching around, and Liu Xiu couldn't control it for the time being. He had a good habit - not to be distracted when using equipment to exercise, and to do his best movements.

This is all forced! Otherwise, you will not be able to complete the task of pre-game warm-up training, and you will not get the few bonuses at the beginning of the game.

After confirming with the trainer, Liu Xiu, who was lying on the bench press rack, started the test, ignoring external objects and starting to count in his mind...'1...'

In the eyes of others, Liu Xiu was lying down with a solemn expression. Teammates like Randolph and others who had played in the summer league knew that Liu Xiu was strong, but others did not know that Liu Xiu was puffy, slow, and had poor physical strength...many people were like this

Malicious speculation.

But some teammates who were unfamiliar with Liu Xiu showed surprised expressions - such professional moves! Such a stable rhythm!

This is not like a test, but a real exercise of muscles!

The test is to do more bench presses at one time. Then it will not come slowly or at a uniform speed, but when a short-distance burst of strength is needed, it will explode decisively, reduce consumption, and perform more bench presses.

.

But Liu Xiu here maintains an almost perfect training speed!

However, later on, not only the professionals were surprised, but everyone was surprised!

Liu Xiu steadily surpassed Damon Stoudemire's 14 times, and it continued to increase. At the end, the trainer who was counting became louder and louder with excitement!

20 times, 25 times... When Liu Xiu benched 27 times, he broke the rookie training camp bench press record of 26 times during Carlos Boozer's physical test in 2002!

Before Liu Xiu, in NBA history, the historical record of a bench press test for a rookie before officially participating in an NBA game, that is, during the test during the training camp, was Carlos Boozer's 26 times of completing the 84 kg bench press.

push!

This refers to recorded records. Some players' tests may not have been exposed, some players just played around in such tests, and some were very thin when they first entered the NBA and only grew stronger after a few years.

…

But no matter what, when Liu Xiu's bench press reached 20 times, he had already exceeded the Blazers rookie bench press record of 19 bench presses set by Randolph in the 2001 training camp.

Later, when Liu Xiu’s bench press count exceeded 25, all his teammates held their breath, waiting for Liu Xiu to complete the ‘surpass’!

Randolph and others even started shouting!

In the end, Liu Xiu's bench press was fixed at 29 times. After he lifted it this time, he felt that he was not strong enough and slowly moved the lifted barbell to the place where it was placed. The trainer saw this and quickly helped put the barbell in place.

Liu Xiu stood up and moved his body. Randolph flashed in front of him at a speed that his size should not have allowed and shouted: "One less than 30! Why don't you do one more? One is enough!"

In Randolph's view, Liu Xiu, who has been doing bench press steadily, must still have some energy left, and Liu Xiu's expression is still relaxed now.

Liu Xiuzheng wanted to explain that he had tried his best. He did this, and the fast push method of bench press was put into the test. In the eyes of most people, using good explosive power to push quickly is a better test method, but the bench press reached

After a certain number of times, Liu Xiu has the upper hand.

But at this time Liu Xiu received a system prompt...

"Healing value +89, from Damon Stoudemire."

Only then did Liu Xiu notice the expressions of his teammates who were watching! It seemed like he had done something big!

Most NBA players can push an 84kg barbell, and some can even push a barbell weighing more than 200kg. However, the maximum bench press and reps... an 84kg barbell is a big push for NBA players.

The scientific dividing line for bench press, the number of times plus the bench press with enough weight, and love are more important.

Liu Xiu looked at the healing value given by Damon Stoudemire. He was surprised and immediately realized what was going on... 29 bench presses, which was exactly twice Damon Stoudemire's.

One more time!

He himself knew that he had tried his best, but others didn't know that! Even Randolph thought he could still continue!
Chapter completed!
