I am Really an Insider

Early the next morning, Jeff Schwartz came to Wayne and Tony's residence.

When he saw Wayne again, he was stronger than he had been during March Madness.

Maybe Wayne himself doesn't realize it, but he is basically completely different from what he was a year ago.

"How was the training during this period? I hope you are all ready." Schwartz was very pleased to see the results of Wayne's training.

The sword music he spent was indeed not wasted!

With so many trainers and so many facilities, do you think Schwartz doesn’t feel pain?

But there is no way, this investment cannot be saved no matter what.

But as long as the money can be spent wisely and achieve results, it is considered worth it.

"Then, we'll set off in the afternoon. Tony, Wayne, you have to be apart for a while this time, because the teams you are going to try out are all different."

After Schwartz finished speaking, Wayne and Tony nodded in agreement.

Right now, Wayne's mock draft pick is somewhere between 10 and 17.

In the top ten, only the Bulls and Raptors are likely to take Wayne, and the others are unlikely.

Teacher Tony's mock draft pick is at the end of the first round.

There is no way, Teacher Tony is indeed old. And judging from his performance in March Madness, he is indeed not as good as Wayne.

The difference in picks determines that it is impossible for the two to go to the same team for trial training.

At noon, Schwartz introduced the detailed trial plan to Wayne and Tony.

On Tony's side, another agent under the Schwartz Company will take Tony for a tryout.

Wayne now also knew why Schwartz could manage dozens of players at the same time without making mistakes in the future.

Yes, they own an entire sports management company, and Schwartz is not the only one in the company.

Schwartz is still directly responsible for his players, but that doesn't mean he has to do everything himself.

He is responsible for making decisions and then tells his subordinates to make decisions. It's that simple.

Of course, some people may think that this management method is not meticulous enough, and it is better for the agent to do it himself.

But the fact is that with so many players under Schwartz, he has never left anyone out, and he has never let anyone suffer.

Here I have to mention Bill Duffy.

Last summer, Duffy lost money because he missed his player's contract extension. As a result, he paid out of his own pocket to make up for the loss.

This move made Duffy's reputation explode, and it was once a favorite.

but

The essence of this matter is that Duffy made a serious mistake!

People only remember that Duffy spent his own money to compensate the players for their losses, and they all say that he is a good person and the most reliable agent.

But everyone has overlooked that this mistake is very unreliable for a professional agent.

To put it in perspective, Bill Duffy has a good character. But in reality, Duffy is just paying for the mistakes he made.

If he doesn't make up for this loss, will he still be able to hang out in the circle in the future?

This is the disadvantage of agents who always do things themselves. One person's energy is always limited.

Schwartz's corporate management has never gone wrong.

No matter you are a big star or a small player, you will definitely not be ignored under Schwartz.

"As for Wayne, I will personally accompany you to complete the trial training. We currently have five places to go. The first stop is Portland, which you are familiar with, the second stop is Oakland, the third stop is Salt Lake City, and the fourth stop is Boston.”

"Last stop, we go to Indianapolis."

"Indianapolis?" Wayne and Tony both looked at Schwartz in confusion.

If I remember correctly, a few days ago, Wayne and Tony were watching the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and the Pistons, right?

That's a championship contending team, so they shouldn't have a high draft pick, right?

"Don't worry, I won't let you go to a meaningless workout, just like I didn't let you go to the Chicago combine before.

Believe me, Wayne, Indianapolis is a necessary stop. "

Schwartz smiled and relieved both of their doubts.

Prior to this, Schwartz did not let Wayne and Tony go to the joint trial to join in the fun.

Because in Schwartz's view, the joint trial was of little significance to Wayne and Tony and was a waste of time.

First, Schwartz didn't want Wayne's physical data to be made public.

Wayne's static numbers are best underestimated and his dynamic numbers are best overestimated.

Once he went to the combine, everything became clear.

Wayne's static talent is very good. This needs to be hidden and only known to the teams that need to know. Only in this way can the myth of 2.06 meters shine in the NBA.

But Wayne's athletic ability is relatively average. This also needs to be hidden and only known to the teams that need to know.

Secondly, combine trials have indeed become increasingly boring over the years. Last year, many team representatives asked players outrageously bizarre questions.

Do you want to be a cat or a dog? "

"Are you afraid of clowns?"

"If you could kill people at will and not be hunted, would you do it?"

"If you were to die, which way would you most like to die?"

Indeed, when Schwartz learned last year that team representatives were actually asking rookie players these questions, he immediately wondered if the players had ended up in a psychiatric hospital by mistake.

Therefore, Schwartz simply did not let Wayne and Tony go to the joint tryout.

Wayne didn't object. As a senior fan in his previous life, he also knew that joint trials have never been the key to determining the draft and the quality of players.

When Du Xiaoshuai participated in the joint trial, his results were abysmal, and he couldn't do a single bench press. He was laughed at by the trainers until he became autistic.

The results of it? He is still No. 2, and he has still become a superstar.

In an interview with reporters in 2017, Durant also gave a piece of advice to rookie players in public: "Don't go to joint trials, stay at home, train hard and improve according to your own plan."

"I couldn't agree more," said Hercules Wayne.

Therefore, if Schwartz wants to take himself to Indianapolis for a trial, it means that it is indeed necessary.

but

If Wayne remembers correctly, the Pacers will be in chaos after this.

Don't look at the fact that they won 61 games in the regular season this year and reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs.

But half a year later, that famous mixed martial arts match would plunge the entire team into chaos.

Wayne's head hurts just thinking about being teammates with someone like Artest.

You can go to the trial training, but please don't try anything wrong with me.

And go to a strong team

How can I comfortably and frantically gain growth points!

It would be great to go to the Trail Blazers. I can wait a few years for Roy to come. Isn't it cool for him to sneak the badge on "Yellow Mamba"?

When the time comes, Rose's twin guns will kill everyone.

"No, that doesn't seem to be the case." Wayne was imagining it when his thoughts suddenly stopped.

Speaking of which, if I go to the Trail Blazers, will the Trail Blazers be able to draft Aldridge and Roy in a few years?

Yes, after entering the NBA, many things will definitely not develop on the same trajectory as in the previous life.

Once the butterfly effect occurs, God knows what the NBA will become.

Therefore, Wayne found that he could no longer use the experience of his previous life to judge his development in the NBA.

The Trail Blazers may not be the same Trail Blazers as before, and the Pacers may not be in chaos.

The rest of the journey is completely unknown to Wayne.

"Wei, what's the problem?" Seeing that Wayne was deep in thought, Schwartz couldn't help shouting.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. Just go to these places and I'll follow your arrangements."

"Well, this is the general plan. After the trial training, you will have two days off, and then you will wait to participate in the draft. When the time comes, I will take you to buy a decent suit.

The draft is over and you're about to go to summer league. Remember, the first point is to protect yourself and don't get hurt. The second point is to show your advantages as much as possible and don't be overly modest.

The summer league is a stage for individual performance, and generally there is no tactical coordination and system. All everyone has to do is seize the opportunity to perform as much as possible.

When the time comes, don't act stupidly and act as a tool for others. "

Schwartz talked a lot earnestly, but he didn't even tell Okafor so much.

Again, Okafor basically doesn't have to worry. What he really needs to spend energy on managing is Wayne.

"Tool man?" Teacher Tony touched his chin, "Well, I, Tony, have never been a tool man in my life. It's okay!"

In the afternoon, after packing their bags, Wayne and Tony said goodbye to each other and headed off to their destinations.

On the plane, Wayne was still thinking about the Pacers.

Why is this championship team so obsessed with me?

If you want to talk about immediate combat ability, Wayne's immediate combat ability is definitely not as strong as that of Okafor and others in the eyes of the outside world.

Could it be that they need to find a thug?

The problem is, Wayne has never fought in the NCAA.

As the MOP of the Semi-Finals, Wayne is the kind of player who sells both his immediate ability and his potential.

However, in the eyes of the outside world, his immediate combat ability and potential are not the best among the rookies in his class, which is why it is difficult for him to enter the top 10.

After all, there are only a handful of rookies like Anthony who won MOP and championships as a freshman and have top potential and immediate combat ability.

Wayne is valuable because he has both. Is it possible that the Pacers value this?

Wayne took a deep breath and didn't think about it anymore. There was no point in thinking too much now.

When it comes to things like the draft, it's really difficult to control rookies, and there's very little room for maneuver.

The initiative is almost entirely in the hands of the team.

No matter which team you are selected, you can only try your best to adapt and perform.

At noon the next day, Trail Blazers coach Steve Patterson finally met Wayne, whom he had longed for.

Patterson was also very pleased with Wayne's performance in the trial.

"His physical test data is better than expected." Beside Patterson, the Trail Blazers' trainer nodded approvingly.

The data sheet records Wayne's various detailed data.

The height column is indeed 2.11 meters, not the Cowboys' official 2.06 meters.

In terms of wingspan, Wayne's data of 2.30 meters surprised Patterson even more.

Although his weight of only 98 kilograms is a bit stretched, his body can be trained slowly after entering the league.

When the Trail Blazers drafted O'Neal Jr., that guy was less than 100 kilograms.

so what? O'Neal is now third in the MVP rankings, second only to KG and Duncan!

After all, not everyone is as fat as Zach.

There is an example of Yao Ming's success in gaining weight. Patterson is not afraid that Wayne will not be able to practice.

If you look at Yao Ming now, compared to his rookie season last year, he is completely different.

In addition to static data, Wayne's dynamic data also satisfies Patterson.

The vertical jump is 64 centimeters, which is higher than the "Coke can" bounce that Patterson imagined.

This was actually the first time Wayne had ever tested his vertical jump. Because his jump attribute hadn't been unlocked yet, he didn't know what level his jump was.

Maybe because it's relatively light, it's really not that short when it jumps.

Of course, this result is definitely not as good as those of the top dancing men, but it is not bad.

In Wayne's previous life, he checked the physical test data of many players out of interest.

Yi Jianlian's vertical jump height during the initial physical test was 78 centimeters, which is indeed the top level among Asian players.

No, even among black players, this data is not bad.

Before Chairman Yao gained weight, his vertical jump was 55 centimeters.

Wayne's current vertical jump height is only 1 centimeter shorter than rookie Durant.

Well, it seems that Durant may really be called American Wayne in the future.

Wayne's bounce is indeed average, but it's not too crotch-stretching.

In terms of run-up jump, Wayne can jump to 77 centimeters. Like the vertical takeoff, the result is not good but not bad either.

If you look at this year's joint trial data, you will know that there are many abnormal ones with a starting height of more than 100 centimeters, but there are also many 60 or 70 centimeters.

Wayne, this is a relatively average result.

Of course, these data are only for reference and have little significance for actual competitions.

Athletic ability is an evaluation based on many factors such as competition, timing judgment, technical and tactical application, etc.

For example, Boris Diaw, the legendary guy who can tie Stoudemire in reaching height while holding coffee and wearing slippers, his performance in the game is not like a jumping man at all.

Another example is that when Love was drafted, his jumping data was better than McGee and Cousins, but Love's actual playing style in the game was completely different from those two.

In actual competition, no one will leave a large area for you and wait for you to fully charge before taking off.

Therefore, even if Wayne performs beyond the physical test data in the game, Patterson will not be surprised.

Then, Wayne measured his speed again.

If Wayne's jumping is not that bad, then his speed is definitely excellent.
