บท 28: Strengthening and Accelerating Template Fusion, the Total Ability Value is 75!
Wang Chong's decision to participate in the 2003 NBA Draft came as a surprise to many, including Zhang Hao. Despite his limited knowledge of the NBA draft process, Zhang Hao could sense the magnitude of Wang Chong's decision. As a sports journalist, Zhang Hao was intrigued and excited by the prospect of covering promising new talent.
The draft landscape was exceptionally competitive this year, with several standout players making headlines. LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh were among the most prominent names, and Wang Chong's decision to jump into this arena was a bold and risky one. The thought of competing against such elite prospects was daunting, but Wang Chong was driven by a combination of ambition and necessity.
Zhang Hao's surprise was evident. "It's quite unusual for a rookie to enter the draft, especially in such an important year. Most players usually spend more time in college to improve their chances of being picked for the draft."
Wang Chong acknowledged the point. "You are right. Most players stay longer in college. But I've weighed the options and decided this is the right time for me."
Zhang Hao nodded, trying to disguise his curiosity. "Well, if you're confident, that's what matters most. I'll be sure to cover your progress closely. But, just to be clear, let me get this straight: you're registered as a center at Marquette, but you're actually a forward?"
Wang Chong chuckled, appreciating Zhang Hao's effort to understand his situation. "That's right. I played center because Marquette didn't have a suitable player for that position. But my primary position is small forward. In the NBA, I think it will be more effective in that role."
Zhang Hao's expression reflected skepticism, but also genuine curiosity. "I've watched Marquette games and seen you play mainly as a center. It's hard to imagine you changing roles in the NBA-why this insistence on being a small forward?"
Wang Chong leaned back and patiently explained, "During the college season, I had to adapt to the team's needs. But in the NBA, my skills as a small forward, particularly my shooting and perimeter game, will be more valuable. I'm not built to play inside with the tall men in the league, and my mid-range shooting is where I excel."
Zhang Hao listened carefully, processing the information. "It's an interesting perspective. However, from a draft standpoint, being versatile can sometimes be an advantage. But if you're confident in your role, that's crucial."
The conversation changed when Zhang Hao highlighted the competitive nature of the draft and the variety of talent. Wang Chong's focus was on improving his skills and physical attributes to stand out during tryouts. With an overall ability score of 75, Wang Chong was positioning himself as a strong candidate, but he knew that physical performance in drills and training would be critical.
Physical preparation and improvement had been a central goal for Wang Chong. With the 1,000 points in the system, he had accelerated the melding of his squad, increasing his overall skill rating from 69 to 75. This improvement placed him in a favorable position among draft prospects, although he was aware that physical prowess alone would not guarantee a high selection.
In the 2003 draft, LeBron James was the consensus first pick, with his outstanding physical attributes and skills making him a standout player. Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh were also highly rated, and Wang Chong knew he had to compete fiercely against elite players like them. His improvements aimed to make him as competitive as possible.
Wang Chong's investment in his fitness was strategic. The key areas he focused on were speed, agility, physical strength, power, jumping, explosive power and all-around endurance. These attributes were crucial to performing well in the trials and impressing the scouts.
While Wang Chong's shooting had always been one of his strengths, particularly thanks to the Hot Zone Hunter badge, which improved his mid-range accuracy, he understood that physical metrics would be closely scrutinized. Scouts pay close attention to athleticism, as it was often a more immediate indicator of a player's potential impact in the NBA.
The dynamics of the NBA draft process involved a combination of skills, physical attributes and potential. While Wang Chong's shooting level and basketball IQ were solid, his ability to demonstrate athletic ability and physical fitness during tryouts would be vital. His goal was to excel in both the technical and physical aspects of the evaluation.
As he approached the NBA draft, Wang Chong dedicated himself to rigorous training and preparation. He worked to improve his speed and agility, crucial for both offense and defense. His strength and power were improved to better handle the physical aspect of the NBA game. In addition, Wang Chong focused on explosive power and endurance to ensure he could maintain high performance during the tryout and beyond.
The tryout process was intense, with teams evaluating prospects through a series of drills, practice games and interviews. Wang Chong's goal was to stand out by showing his refined skills, athletic ability and willingness to contribute right away. His preparation included studying match sequences, analyzing opponents and refining his techniques to address any weaknesses.
Despite the challenges, Wang Chong remained focused on his goal. The support of his mentors and advisors, along with his own determination, fueled his confidence. He was aware that the road to the NBA was demanding, but he was ready to accept the challenge and seize the opportunity.
In the weeks leading up to the draft, Wang Chong's efforts and preparation paid off. His performance in individual workouts and team practice games generated positive comments from scouts and executives. His physical improvements were evident and his shooting skills remained at their peak. The combination of these factors positioned him as a compelling candidate for lottery picks.
