"Is there any NBA team inviting me to participate in rookie trial training?" Zhang Guan asked with interest, "Which teams are they?"
"There are a lot of them. There are Washington Wizards, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. Five teams are inviting you, and there are strong teams that hope to win the championship. I did not expect you to get so much. You are quite popular in the United States." Zhuge Wenbo said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many." Zhang Guan said with surprise.
"It's not difficult to understand. The teams that invited you are good in the ball market. They may value your market value even more! For example, in Los Angeles, it is estimated that you only need to go for a lap. For the sponsor's business effect, the team can earn it back!" Zhuge Wenbo said with a smile.
"So they still didn't plan to pick me, just prepared to advertise me. By the way, how about their draft picks, is there a lottery zone?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"Do you still want the lottery? You are beautiful! It's good to give you the end of the second round." Zhuge Wenbo continued, "But these teams have the right to pick at the end of the second round. Let me take a look. The Wizards have 47th, the Warriors 49th, the Mavericks 51st, the Lakers 58th, and the Celtics 60th."
"It's the last draft pick. It's hard to pick a player who can gain a firm foothold in the NBA." Zhang Guan continued, "You can help me reply, thank you very much for their kind invitation. But I'm going to participate in the Open Track and Field, and I'm required to qualify for the Olympics, so I can't participate in the trial training."
...
A piece of news appeared abruptly, that is, all five NBA teams invited Zhang Guan to participate in the rookie trial.
Many people were surprised by the sudden news, and many netizens questioned the authenticity of the news. However, when the media had no time to verify the news, the champion team has released the news and has politely declined the five NBA basketball team's invitation, because Zhang Guan wants to participate in the track and field open competition, to fight for the Olympic Games.
"I've already said, what is involved in the NBA draft, was originally a show! Zhang Guan would not play basketball at all, if you go to the NBA team trial training, he would be exposed!"
"The training opportunities are given by the NBA team, and there are still five teams, how many players in our country want to come or not. Zhang Guan doesn't even go! I originally thought that if he would be selected by the NBA team, it seems that even for the trial training, he is not going, there must be no hope."
"It's impossible for Zhang Guan to play basketball. Professional basketball is completely different from amateur basketball. Not to mention the NBA trial training, that is, the CBA trial training. Zhang Guan will be abused like a dog! So Zhang Guan's choice of this time is wise. In the name of participating in the open track and field, the NBA trial was pushed and successfully saved his face."
"Zhang Guan can do the track and field honestly, why does he have to play basketball! This is just right, and Zhang Guan's idea of playing basketball is impossible!"
Netizens had another discussion, and Zhang Guan had left the training base at this time and rushed to the National Stadium to adapt to the venue of the game.
On the bus, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren sat together.
"You haven't participated in the competition for more than a year. How do you feel? The state has recovered?" Liu Feiren asked.
"I'm definitely in good shape. I'm going to break some world records in the Olympics!" Zhang Guan smiled, then looked at Liu Feiren's legs subconsciously, and asked, "How about you, how about the leg injury?" Alright?"
"It's all old and hurt, it should be no problem." Liu Feiren said, but there was a certain uncertainty in the words.
"Should?" Zhang Guan frowned. "I think you should lighten your training a little bit. It's less than three months away from the Olympics. If the injury worsened at this time, it wouldn't be good if the Olympics could not be played. ."
"Well, thank you." Liu Feiren continued, "But the team hopes that I can break the world record again. I also have this idea. And in the past two years, Robes of Cuba has risen very quickly. If I don't work hard I am afraid that I will lose to him. At the Olympics we host, I must not lose to him!"
Hearing Liu Feiren's so firm tone, Zhang Guan sighed helplessly. Perhaps Liu Feiren's fate is already doomed. Now Liu Feiren can not only play, but also can run within 13.10 seconds, but three months later in the first round of the Olympics, he lost to an injured foot and left the stadium in pain.
Liu Feiren went on to say, "Your main task this time is to reach the Olympic A standard. I heard that you have reported an extra triple jump event. How is your practice?"
"It's easy to skip 17 meters." Zhang Guan answered.
"A triple jump is not enough for 17 meters. The Olympic A mark is 17.10 meters." Liu Feiren said, took out a piece of paper from the bag, and handed it to Zhang Guan, "The results of this Athletics A track and field competition There is not much change in one session. Let me see, yes, the triple jump is 17.10 meters."
Zhang Guan turned his head and glanced. As Liu Feiren said, the track and field achievements of this Olympic Games are indeed similar to the previous Athens Olympic Games.
The A standard for men's 100 meters is still 10.21 seconds, 200 meters in 20.59 seconds, and 400 meters in 45.55 seconds. This is very easy for Zhang Guan. The 800-meter Olympic A standard is 1 minute 46 seconds, and the 1500-meter Olympic A standard is 3 minutes 36.60 seconds. These two numbers make Zhang Guan feel unstable because Zhang Guan uses the "follow-and-run" skill, 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 Guan is worried that the previous athletes would not be running fast, which will affect his achievements.
"For these two events, if the athletes in the front run too slowly, I will fight for an Olympic Bid, and for the Olympic B bid, I can also participate in. Anyway, the strength of domestic players in these two events is not strong." Zhang Guan continued looking down, the A-mark result of the long jump is 8.2 meters, which is as easy for Zhang Guan as ever, and the A-mark result of the triple jump is exactly 17.10 meters as Liu Feiren said.
"17.10 meters, I have practiced triple jump for such a long time. If I only jumped 17.10 meters, wouldn't I have lost my face, I would have to break the national record!"
...
On May 22, the Good Luck Capital Athletics Championships and National Athletics Open officially began.
The schedule of this competition is different from the past. The competition is not coherent. The first stage of the competition is held every day from 9:00 to 11:50 am, and then the second stage is held from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. In the stage of the game, there is no game in the afternoon period.
