Chapter 0010: You are not persistent at all

40 yards: 4.62 seconds

However, endurance and explosive power

Under the "care" of a group of stars, Sun Ce was passed around and, under the guidance of the press officer, took a group photo together

Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, looking at Nash's protective waist gear. He recalled that since the loss of playoff hopes this season, Nash had not played in any games.

After everyone else had left, Sun Ce pulled up a stool and sat down, making an effort to calm the excitement he felt after seeing so many stars.

Vertical jump: 49 cm

After changing into his jersey and sneakers, Sun Ce pushed open the door and came out to the locker room, where Nash, Gentry, and others took him to the therapy room for massages and stretching exercises as part of the warm-up activities

Sun Ce approached the assistant coach of the Sun team, Jay Triano, and glanced at the physical assessment details

Well, this has all been arranged. From the very beginning, O'Neal's pretentious "focus on training" made Sun Ce realize that it was likely all planned out long ago

Nash immediately recognized Sun Ce's confusion as he observed him looking around, and said: "Noah, you are set to start in my place for the match tomorrow; my wardrobe is now yours."

Next, I must perform well, it must be stunning, even the show must be breathtaking

... ...

Sun Ce did not express any grand ambitions; he simply wished to no longer suffer from kidney deficiency

Sun Ce roughly understood what is meant by "charity activities". Did these people really consider him to be someone with a terminal illness?

It is indeed worthy of being recognized by NCAA Division II teams!

Bench press: 4 times

Sun Ce's reaction did not surprise others; it was quite normal. When the Suns previously secured their playoff ranking in the Western Conference, they also engaged in similar activities, and those selected as "lucky ones" were all like this

It can be lifted, but it will be finished in three or four moves

40 yards, 100 yards, shuttle run, bench press... Sun Ce counted, there were more than ten items in the physical fitness test. "It seems that the technical training will last until the afternoon. According to the schedule, there is still the experience of the NBA team's training lunch at noon... That's fine, I will save the explosive energy for the technical training session..."

After reviewing Sun Ce's physical assessment data, Jinteli said to Sun Ce, who was receiving a massage from the therapist to relax his muscles: "Noah, your physical fitness is excellent, but your endurance is lacking. You need to exercise more and not just focus on studying. I know that you Chinese people love to read, but physical health is also very important, do you understand"

Sun Ce looked around and discovered a problem: his wardrobe was the one in the best position, yet he did not see Nash's wardrobe

The main issue is the back injury Nash suffered during the 1999-2000 season, which was treated at the time. Later, when he joined the Suns in his thirties, even with the excellent medical staff of the Suns, there were still some problems. Now that Nash is 35 years old, the back injury occasionally affects his performance. Since the hope for the playoffs has been lost, even if Nash wants to play, the Suns will not allow him to do so. Looking at the second half of the season, they still have a chance for next season.

Of course, with such an opportunity for "close contact" with the NBA, Sun Ce naturally wishes to take it a step further

Particularly, the performance of the speed rated as A+ during the trial surprised Sun Ce. When he saw the A+ speed, he realized that his speed was indeed fast. However, even the assistant coach Dan D'Antoni, who was timing, showed a look of astonishment, as he understood that Sun Ce was truly very fast

Busy coming and going, it was almost 11 o'clock when Sun Ce was taken to the venue for physical testing

There is also a new pair of sneakers, which is the shoe size that Sun Ce filled out on the application form before, the sneakers endorsed by Nash, and it is to inform Sun Ce that this pair of sneakers is a gift for him

However, for Sun Ce, none of this is important; what matters is to perform well in the upcoming trial!

With a smile on his face, Sun Ce said, "Understood, Coach, I will do my best"

Jin Teli, who had been observing Sun Ce's expressions, felt that this child was very diligent and honest, truly a good child, just like he was back in the day, so hardworking and down-to-earth. Even if he couldn't make it through the training, he still deserved a chance to work in the NBA

Sun Ce almost spat it out, as Gentry's words sounded too much like an insult to him

After the introduction, Nash, Gentry, and the cameraman all left the locker room, as it is not appropriate to continue filming while changing clothes

The initial speed is quite poor, far below the average speed, which is largely related to the lack of professional starting training. Among NBA players, for perimeter players, the initial speed is very important, and they have all undergone very specialized starting training during their college years and early NBA careers

During the previous training session of 6 + 6 + 6, Sun Ce also felt that his physical fitness was quite good, although he did not have an intuitive sense of it. However, the well-organized physical fitness report made him realize that he indeed had considerable potential.

Is kidney deficiency considered a terminal illness? Sun Ce thought about this and felt that he was truly suffering from a terminal illness

Average speed for 100 yards: 8.755 yards/second

Although the jumping ability is generally average, it is still much stronger than that of the team's star player, Steve Nash

Sun Ce felt a bit confused, using Nash's wardrobe, but noticed that there was a cameraman following behind filming

Average startup speed: 6.902 yards per second

However, such a poor starting speed makes Sun Ce's average speed appear even more impressive

Sun Ce's physical fitness test results were surprisingly good, contrary to what Gentry expected. His impressive physique was not in vain

Running jump: 55 cm

You are not persistent at all

Although a time of 11.42 seconds for 100 yards is quite impressive for an amateur basketball player, 100 yards is approximately equal to 91.4 meters. Allen Iverson's best performance in the 100 yards during the 1996 tryouts was 10.23 seconds. TJ Ford holds the record for the best performance in this regard, with a rookie's best time during multiple tryouts being 10.18 seconds. There are not many NBA players who can break 11 seconds in the 100 yards; generally, only those on the perimeter have a chance. Sun Ce is quite remarkable in this aspect, especially considering he is an amateur who has never played in the NCAA and has not received professional training, yet he can achieve such a level.

Nash introduced the items in the wardrobe to Sun Ce, including a jersey number 13. This is not the one Sun Ce will wear during the match, but rather a gift from Nash to Sun Ce, which is also signed.

Feeling a bit dazed after completing a rather showy event under the "care" of a group of NBA superstars, Sun Ce was taken to the locker room by Gentry and Steve Nash, the team's most popular star, where a locker was marked with "SUN"

However, Sun Ce did not expect that his physical fitness would receive a good evaluation from NBA coaches. While there is a possibility that they might be intentionally exaggerating, Sun Ce himself looked at the physical measurement data and found it to be quite impressive

The standard bench press measurement in the NBA is 185 pounds, which is equivalent to 84 kilograms. The NBA has been collecting statistics on this aspect of physical testing since 1994. As of now, the average bench press repetitions for rookies under 2 meters tall is 8.4 times. Sun Ce's performance is less than half of the average level
