Chapter 359 Physical Testing and Feasibility of Track and Field Events

The next day, the Knicks returned to New York, and New York City began a grand celebration that lasted for three days.

In the past, the biggest influence in the Big Apple was football, the New York Giants, the Jets, and the New England Patriots.

The most famous player is DiMaggio of the Yankees of Major League Baseball, who is also the husband of Marilyn Monroe.

But now, the Knicks and Wolverines have replaced them.

More than three million New Yorkers participated in the celebration, and the parade buses could only move at a speed of 0.5 kilometers per hour through the various neighborhoods in New York.

A group of shameless people who had banned He Zhongqiu did not miss this golden opportunity to show their faces and also joined in the celebration.

They acted as if nothing had happened. When they saw He Zhongqiu, they were very warm, as if they were old friends.

With the achievement of a dynasty, He Zhongqiu's status in the NBA has made a huge leap upward.

In terms of popularity and influence, he was absolutely number one before, having long surpassed the god of basketball, Michael Jordan, but his achievements in the NBA were far inferior to Jordan's.

And now, his NBA achievements have narrowed the gap with Jordan.

Deng Chao and his colleagues have already returned to China, but He Zhongqiu cannot return for the time being. He will have to shoot Predator in July or August. Before that, he will have to do a detailed physical test and discuss the possibility of entering the sprinting world.

After resting for a few days, on the morning of June 6, He Zhongqiu came to Adelphi University on Long Island. Mike Johnson brought a large group of people to give him the most detailed physical examination.

The vertical jump was 135 cm, breaking the record of 120 cm set by Little Potato Weber.

The jump jump was 155 cm, also breaking Weber's record of 150 cm.

The long jump is 8.12 meters and the standing long jump is 3.35 meters.

After the data of these four physical tests came out, Professor Horry said excitedly: "The data of the two jumping items are the best even in the high jump world. Wolverine is definitely qualified to enter the high jump world.

The current world record for long jump is 8.95 meters. As long as Wolverine undergoes professional strength training, improves the explosive power of his lower limbs, and performs professional long jump technical training, I think he has every chance of breaking this record.

The current world record for standing long jump is 3.476 meters. Wolverine's posture just now was not standard. I even think that with a little training, he can break this record. "

"Boss?" Mike Johnson looked at He Zhongqiu excitedly.

"Form a high jump and long jump team." He Zhongqiu said without hesitation.

"OK, I will definitely build the best team in the world." Mike Johnson said hurriedly.

Next was the physical test of the 100-meter race, but He Zhongqiu didn’t know how to start. It took him several attempts to learn how to use the running aid.

I ran six times within an hour, with the best result being 11.19 seconds and the worst being 11.95 seconds.

Professor Horry said: "The difference between the highest and lowest data is too big, which can only mean that Wolverine's 100-meter technique is too poor. Just the starting link wastes a lot of time."

"What is the current world record?" He Zhongqiu asked.

Adelphi's short-distance coach, Kiselder, immediately said, "The 9.77 seconds just set by Jamaican 6-meter superman Powell was on June 11th, and he ran this result again on the 18th."

"In the 0.01-meter race, I know that seconds can make a huge difference. My gap is a bit big. Can I still run?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"Of course you can run." Horry and Kiselder said at the same time without hesitation.

Then Kiselder said: “Wolverine, your explosive power is very strong, even now, the explosive power of your lower limbs is actually very strong.

But you still need the most professional sprint strength training and continue to strengthen your lower limb explosiveness. You have great potential. "

Professor Horry went on to say: “In terms of sprinting skills, you can’t even talk about skills, which also symbolizes great potential.”

Then He Zhongqiu measured 60 meters indoors in 7.28 seconds.

Kiselder said: “The 98m world record set by Maurice Green in 60 is 6.39 seconds, which can also be practiced.

Even in the 60m event, Wolverine, you have a bigger advantage. As long as you solve the starting problem, you can become the world's top 60m athlete."

Next, He Zhongqiu measured 200 meters twice, and then 400 meters.

According to Horry, the statistics are all good and can be practiced.

"If you practice strength training and technique at the same time, you will see results in one to two years." Professor Horry said this after the physical test.

Kiselder said: "But in terms of technology, because your height and stride length are all new data for sprinting, high jump and long jump. There has never been someone as tall as you participating in these events, so the relevant technology needs to be redesigned."

"Technology?" He Zhongqiu said he didn't understand.

Kiselder explained: "For example, when you start a sprint, when you play basketball, you sprint very fast, but that's on the basketball court, as long as you have explosive power, you can take advantage of the short distance sprint.

The starting line in sprinting is completely different, so you can't take advantage of the short distance sprinting in basketball.

Even being too tall actually limits your starting speed and acceleration in the first thirty meters, and you need to redesign your starting and acceleration techniques.

For example, adjust the stride length during acceleration, appropriately reduce the stride length, appropriately increase the stride frequency, and achieve a better optimization effect through various technical adjustments. "

He Zhongqiu understood that this required a very good team, from theoretical experts to practical coaches and trainers, and everyone had to work together to solve the problem.

However, any problem that can be solved by spending money is not a problem.

He Zhongqiu handed the task of forming a team to Mike Johnson, to form a combined team of sprinting, high jump and long jump.

Next, before joining the crew in July, he will have some time to rest, and this time will be used to create a baby with Yang Xue.

In addition, there is a world boxing championship waiting for him, scheduled for June 6, the first day after the NBA draft.

So after completing the physical test, he and Yang Xue took Tang Yan, Bai Bingbing, the boxing team, and a sprint strength trainer to Las Vegas, where the boxing match would be held.

The Knicks management, Scott Layden is busy with trades. There is not much work to do this offseason, the lineup is very stable, mainly the renewal of Varejao and the early renewal of Josh Howard.

In addition, both Abdur-Rahim and Michael Finley only had one-year contracts. After winning the championship, although they both wanted to continue playing in New York, he could not give them long-term contracts, so they both chose to leave the team.

The two-year contract signed by Varejao has expired. There is no one in the interior and Rahim has left, so he hopes to keep Varejao and gave him a big contract of four years and $2400 million.

Considering Varejao's performance as an absolute blue-collar player, this contract is already very good, but his agent has not replied yet, which makes Redden a little uneasy.

He knew very well that Varejao won two championships with the Knicks right after entering the league. As the main power forward of two championships, his value has increased greatly, and his contract renewal requirements must be high.

But this is the difficulty of contract renewal for dynasty teams. Players who win championships want big contracts and long-term contracts, but even the Knicks cannot give every player the big contracts and long-term contracts they want, because even if they have money, they do not have enough space.

Additionally, the Mavericks want Josh Howard.

Howard has one year left on his rookie contract, and next season is his contract year. If he wants to be traded, now is the best time.

He has already talked to Howard's agent, and the agent's condition is that he hopes the Knicks can renew the contract in advance and give Howard a long-term contract with an annual salary of tens of millions for at least five years.

霍华德在这个赛季常规赛的数据是12.5分5.8篮板1.9助攻1.1抢断0.4盖帽，命中率47.1%。

With this performance, Layden thought that he was not qualified for a tens of millions annual salary, so he offered him a four-year, $4 million contract.

There is another important thing, he plans to trade Nash according to the original plan.

Nash will be 33 years old next season, which is veteran age, but he is in very good shape now and has few injuries, so he does not necessarily have to be traded. If no good point guard comes in, he can play for another year and see.

Nash's four-year contract is halfway through, with two years left, so there is no rush.

At noon on the 18th, He Zhongqiu and his party arrived in Las Vegas and checked into the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

The boxing match was held at the Jinsha Art Center, and the hotel donated a presidential suite to celebrate He Zhongqiu.

Next, He Zhongqiu performed boxing and strength training at the same time.

Strength training is the explosive power training of the lower limbs. The sprint strength trainer that Maxon Johnson hired was named Mobley Hans.

Hans is the strength trainer of Powell and Green. He is highly regarded in the industry and is considered one of the world's top trainers. He was poached by Mike Johnson.

Boxing also places great emphasis on lower limb training, mainly focusing on movement and instantaneous explosive power, which allows boxers to dodge and attack in the shortest time possible.

The transformation from absolute strength to speed is a transformation of muscle cells and a very delicate carving process.

He Zhongqiu also had a nutritionist by his side to help him rebuild his muscle mass.

On the 20th, Leiden received two pieces of bad news.

Anderson Varejao was poached by the Cavaliers, who offered him a long-term contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, $5600 million over five years.

Varejao's agent also said that as long as the Knicks can match such a contract, Varejao is very willing to stay.

But the Knicks simply don't have that much space, and Anderson Varejao's contract is not enough to match the veteran's contract.

However, Varejao is a restricted free agent, and he plans to sign first and then trade him so that the Cavaliers can't get him for free.

If he can't find a good player for Valanciunas' position, he is considering using David Lee.

David Lee got some opportunities in his rookie season. He had rebounds and good potential on the offensive end. His weaknesses were his poor defense and shooting. He was only good at attacking under the basket, with 68% of his attacks taking place under the basket.

But as long as there are rebounds, we have Wolverine on defense. Wolverine's offensive area is very large and his mid-range shots are very accurate. The offensive areas of the two do not conflict with each other.

Another bad news is that Josh Howard's agent rejected his contract and insisted on a long-term contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, and the early renewal failed.

But there is still a year, so let’s talk about it next year.

In addition, Kidd's agent called him and Kidd wanted to join the Knicks.

Kidd is good, but he is one year older than Nash and has three years left on his contract with the Nets, which is one year longer than Nash's contract.

Compared with the two, Nash is undoubtedly stronger in offense, organization and passing, while Kidd is strong in defense.

They are about the same age, but he prefers Kidd. After all, he wanted to bring in Kidd in the first place, and Nash is just a substitute for Kidd.

The Wolverines' offensive firepower is too strong now, and it has never been fully utilized, so he believes that the number one position only needs organizational and passing abilities, and does not require such a strong offense.

In addition, the shooting of Battier and Josh Howard from the outside was always suppressed because of Nash's offense.

But after careful consideration, he rejected Kidd and planned to let Nash, who was in good shape, play for another year.

After all, Nash is the main point guard of the three consecutive championship dynasties, the core of the outside line, and the contributor second only to the Wolverines. His condition has not declined, so there is no reason to trade him.

On the 25th, Mike Johnson called from Los Angeles and said that the Lakers and Rockets had almost finalized the deal for Yao Min.

The Rockets signed first and then traded, while the Lakers spent a lot of money, taking out two future unprotected first-round picks and adding Bynum.

The contract the Lakers gave Yao Ming was 6 million for 9600 years, which was the highest-paid contract Yao Ming could get and a long-term contract that he could not refuse.

Afterwards, He Zhongqiu called Dayao, who also received the message from Mike Johnson and sighed:
"I'm afraid there will be a lot of fans in Houston who will curse me, and maybe someone will burn my jersey. Oh, this is what happened!"

He Zhongqiu quickly comforted him, "It's okay, Yao Ming, you've been with the Rockets for four years, and you've only been eliminated in the first round twice. There are definitely fans who scold you, but I don't think they're qualified enough for fans to burn your jersey.

Look, if I ever leave the New York Knicks, at least a million people in New York will burn my jersey. "

Dayao said angrily: "Forget about you not being able to chat, I'm busy training, hang up!"
