"Have NBA teams invited me to participate in rookie trial training?" Zhang Guan asked with great interest: "Which teams are they?"
"There are quite a few. There are the Washington Wizards, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. Five teams have invited you, including a strong team that hopes to win the championship. I really didn't expect it. You are quite popular in the United States." Zhuge Wenbo said with a smile.
"I didn't expect there to be so many." Zhang Guan said in surprise.
"In fact, it is not difficult to understand. The teams that invite you are all in good sports markets, and they may value your market value more! For example, in Los Angeles, you only need to go around, and the commercial effect of the sponsor alone will make the team more attractive. You can earn it back!" Zhuge Wenbo said with a smile.
"So they still have no intention of actually selecting me, they are just planning to use me for advertising. By the way, how are their draft picks? Is there a lottery area?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"You still want to be in the lottery? You're so beautiful! It would be great if I could give you a pick at the end of the second round." Zhuge Wenbo continued: "But these teams really all have picks at the end of the second round. Let me see, the Wizards have No. 47, the Warriors have No. 49, the Mavericks have No. 51, the Lakers have No. 58, and the Celtics have No. 60."
"They are really all draft picks at the bottom. It is difficult to select players who can establish themselves in the NBA at this position." Zhang Guan continued: "Just reply for me. Thank you very much for their kind invitation. But I have to participate in the track and field open competition and qualify for the Olympics, so I can’t go to the trials.”
…
A piece of news came out very suddenly, that is, all five NBA teams invited Zhang Guan to participate in rookie trial training.
Many people were shocked by this sudden news, and many netizens were questioning the authenticity of the news. However, before the media had time to verify it, the championship team had already released the news and politely declined the offer to these five NBA teams. Zhang Guan was invited by the team because Zhang Guan wanted to participate in the track and field open competition and strive for the right to participate in the Olympic Games.
"I've just said it before, participating in the NBA draft is just for show! Zhang Guan doesn't know how to play basketball at all. If he goes to try out for an NBA team, his secret will definitely be revealed!"
"The NBA team gave me the opportunity to try out, and there are five teams. There are so many players in our country who want to refuse to come. Zhang Guan didn't even go! I originally thought he would be recruited by someone in the NBA. He has been selected by a team, but now it seems that if he doesn’t even go to trial training, there is definitely no hope.”
"It is impossible for Zhang Guan to play basketball. Professional basketball and amateur basketball are completely different. Let alone NBA trial training, it is CBA trial training. Zhang Guan will definitely be tortured like a dog! So Zhang Guan I made a wise choice. In the name of participating in the track and field open competition, I pushed forward the NBA trial training and successfully saved my face."
"Zhang Guan can just practice track and field honestly. Why do he have to play basketball! This is just right. It will stop Zhang Guan from thinking about playing basketball!"
Netizens were discussing again. At this time, Zhang Guan had already left the training base and rushed to the National Stadium to adapt to the competition venue.
On the bus, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren sat together.
"I haven't participated in a competition for more than a year. How do you feel? Have you recovered?" Liu Feiren asked.
"I'm definitely in good shape. I'm also planning to break a few world records at the Olympics!" Zhang Guan smiled, then subconsciously looked at Liu Feiren's legs and asked, "What about you, how is your leg injury? Already?"
"They are all old injuries, so there should be no problems." Liu Feiren said, but there was a sense of uncertainty in his words.
"Should?" Zhang Guan frowned: "I think you should lighten your training a little bit. It's less than three months before the Olympics. If the injury worsens at this time and you can't compete in the Olympics, it will be bad. .”
"Well, thank you." Liu Feiren continued: "But the team hopes that I can break another world record, and I also have this idea. And in the past two years, Cuba's Robles has risen rapidly. If I don't work hard, If I say a few words, I'm afraid I will lose to him. I will never lose to him in our own Olympic Games!"
Hearing Liu Feiren's firm tone, Zhang Guan sighed helplessly. Perhaps Liu Feiren's fate has been determined. Not only can Liu Feiren still play, but he also has the ability to run within 13.10 seconds. But three months later , his injury worsened and he stumbled in the first round of the Olympics, leaving the field in pain.
Liu Feiren continued: "Your main task this time is to reach the Olympic A standard. I heard that you also signed up for an additional triple jump event. How are you doing?"
"It's easy to jump 17 meters." Zhang Guan replied.
"Seventeen meters in the triple jump is not enough. The Olympic A standard is 17.10 meters." Liu Feiren took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to Zhang Guan: "The A standard results of track and field in this Olympics are the same as the previous ones." Not much has changed in one session, let me see, yes, the triple jump is 17.10 meters."
Zhang Guan turned around and glanced. Just as Liu Feiren said, the track and field performance of this Olympic Games was indeed similar to that of the previous Athens Olympics.
The A standard for the men's 100 meters is still 10.21 seconds, the 200 meters is 20.59 seconds, and the 400 meters is 45.55 seconds, which are all easy for Zhang Guan. The Olympic A standard for 800 meters is 1 minute 46 seconds, and the Olympic A standard for 1500 meters is 3 minutes 36 seconds 60. These two numbers make Zhang Guan feel that they are not stable, because Zhang Guan uses the The skill of "Follow Running", his speed depends on the speed of the athlete in front. Domestic athletes are weak in the 800-meter and 1500-meter middle-distance running events. Zhang Guanting is worried that the athletes in front of him cannot run fast, which will affect his own performance.
"In these two events, if the athletes in front of me run too slowly, I will try to get an Olympic B standard. I can also participate in the Olympic B standard. Anyway, the strength of domestic athletes in these two events is not strong." Zhang Guan continued. Looking down, the A mark in the long jump was 8.2 meters, which was as easy as ever for Zhang Guan, and the A mark in the triple jump was exactly what Liu Feiren said was 17.10 meters.
"17.10 meters. I have been practicing triple jump for such a long time. Wouldn't it be very shameful if I only jumped 17.10 meters? I would have to break the national record anyway!"
…
On May 22, the Good Luck Capital Track and Field Championships and National Track and Field Open officially began.
The time arrangement of this competition is different from the past. The competition is not conducted consecutively. The first stage of the preliminary stage is held from 9:00 to 11:50 every morning, and then the second stage is held from 19:00 to 23:00 in the evening. For stage competitions, there will be no competitions in the afternoon period. This arrangement is mainly to test the National Stadium during the day and at night.
In the first period of the competition on the first day, Zhang Guan needs to participate in three competitions, namely the men's long jump qualifying round, the men's 1500m preliminaries and the men's 400m preliminaries. Among them, the long jump qualifying competition held first will be Zhang Guan's first track and field competition after his comeback.
