Tang Hao was unintentionally shocked when the news broke out. It was not only because he appeared in the public eye again after being silent for half a year, but also because he was confused about Tang Hao's decision. You should know that Tang Hao had no professional basketball experience before.

Under such circumstances, it was announced that he would participate in the NBA talent show. To put it bluntly, this is completely funny! Whoever chooses the idiot!

It is precisely because of this that the media unanimously dissatisfied Tang Hao's approach this time.

It was Tang Hao's head coaches who called him as soon as they learned the news and advised him to consider carefully when making decisions.

However, there was only one person, Gong Luming, the new head coach of the Chinese basketball team, after hearing the news, he also managed to contact Tang Hao, hoping to meet him.

Tang Hao did not agree to Gong Luming's invitation, but did not completely refuse, and only said that everything would be waited for after the NBA draft.

So, everyone's eyes looked at the 2014 NBA draft that was about to arrive.

With one or two months left before the draft begins, Tang Hao continued to do the final training for the draft with the help of Procopio.

Time is fast, and May is coming soon.

Before leaving for the United States, Tang Hao used another explosive news to blast the screens of major media, and he announced his retirement from professional boxing.

This decision made countless boxing fans beat their hands and stamp their feet, but it also made boxing athletes from other countries breathe a sigh of relief. They finally no longer had to bear Tang Hao's unparalleled dominance.

The day after the press conference, Tang Hao and his agent Zhuang Jiajie boarded a plane to the United States.

However, there is only one purpose for this trip, that is, to participate in the NBA body side and complete the trial training of one of the NBA teams.

The NBA physical test is a routine physical fitness test conducted before the NBA draft, in order to enable scouts from various NBA teams to understand the information of some unknown players before the draft.

This physical test is good and bad for the contestants. The good news is that it is an opportunity for some contestants with low popularity. The bad news is that it will expose some contestants who need to conceal their injuries or have high draft predictions. Therefore, in general, most of the contestants do not participate in the physical side.

American media expressed discomfort and suspicion about Tang Hao's arrival.

This is also completely reasonable.

Tang Hao almost retired early in the London Olympics. Now, before Feiyu recovered, he played two professional boxing games. The second game made the Americans' invincible boxing champion Mayweather admit defeat. At the World Track and Field Championships, he defeated Bolt, and at the same time, he made a number of American sprinters dare not show up when they returned to China.

Such a person actually wants to come to the NBA and play in the United States, but there is no goal!

This is what the Americans think, and the media is even more harsh in Tang Hao.

They boycotted Tang Hao not only because of the things that Tang Hao did before, but also because in their opinion, Tang Hao's actions were completely overestimating their abilities.

A person who has no professional experience and may not even play the ball now wants to be selected by the NBA. Is this dreaming during the day or joking with the NBA?

Against this background, Tang Hao once again set foot on the American land after the boxing match with Mayweather.

Not everyone resisted Tang Hao and Jin Xiangxing, the former boxing accompaniment of Tang Hao and the current lightweight boxing champion, were extremely excited about Tang Hao's arrival and treated Tang Hao well in his own manor.

It can be said that 80% of his achievements are given by Tang Hao, and it is thanks to him that he is not an unkind American who has made such a move under tremendous pressure.

Tang Hao did not refuse Jin Xiangxing's kindness. After receiving the kind hospitality, he then participated in the 2014 NBA joint trial.

The highlight of the joint trial is physical testing. In this joint trial, several popular rookies, Andrew Wiggins, Jabarri Parker, and Joel Enderby, all missed the trial as they were predicted. What is surprising is that Dante Essam and Aaron Gordon, who have the top three predictions, appeared at the physical testing site.

The body measurement is divided into two parts. The first day is static body measurement, that is, the height of barefoot, height of shoes, weight, arm span, height of standing, body fat content, and hand width.

These tests basically don’t have much variables, they are all dead data, but this is also one of the players’ talents.

Tang Hao's exciting physical test data also came out soon.

He is barefoot with a height of 1.90 meters, 1.94 meters in shoes, 1.90 pounds, 86 kg, and an arm span of 1.92 meters, which is similar to his height. He is 2.6 meters tall and has a body fat content of 5.1%. These data are at a very ordinary level among all the contestants who participated in the physical test.

The ones who shine on the first day were Marcus Smart and Jerami Grant. The former was 1.91 meters tall and weighed 103 kilograms, plus an arm span of 2.1 meters. This physique is like a tank playing point guard. Jerami Grant's arm span is even more terrifying than Smart, reaching 2.2 meters, which is much more than many inside players. He is simply a long-arm monster.

This is the charm brought by physical testing. Smart's static physical testing data can be said to have made many teams in the top five or even the top three picks covet. As for Grant, the prediction was originally the end of the second round, but after physical testing, it quickly rose to the front position of the second round.

As for Tang Hao, he still has not appeared in the draft list.

The next day was a dynamic physical test, including in-situ vertical jump, maximum vertical jump, 185 pound bench press, bottom line breakback and 3/4 half sprint.

The first thing to do is to run the bottom line back-run. This event is to drive the ball, which examines the player's back-running speed of the ball.

In basketball games, offense and defense conversions are often required, and the importance of this event is self-evident.

This day also attracted a lot of local media in Detroit.

The focus of these media attention is naturally on popular rookies such as Smart and Essam.

Tang Hao appeared in the first group, and among the players who played with him were Essam, which also brought a lot of media reporters to the sidelines before the first group of tests began.

Essam is an Australian and the hottest candidate among overseas rookies this year, ranking in the top five in the major draft prediction lists.

Overseas rookies are often wearing a mysterious veil, which also makes their draft picks and predictions change greatly, so if you either do not participate in the physical test, it will become very critical if you participate.

Essam performed averagely in yesterday's static physical test, but today's dynamic physical test must be justified.

"Prepare, start!"

With the shout from the sideline referee, the four players in this group swung the ball forward and all dribbled out.

Essam is indeed full of talent and speeds up very quickly. He mentioned the top speed almost only after only two meters, which put him in the lead position very quickly.

The reporters on the sidelines were also stunned at this time, not because of Ethim, but because of Tang Hao.

After starting, Tang Hao instantly pulled away with other players, including Essam. Then he rushed to the other end of the court without any speed, slowed down and braked and turned around.

At this time, Essam was two or three meters away from the other end of the stadium. When he saw Tang Hao running back, his eyes were full of shock.

"Swoosh!"

Tang Hao turned around and speeded up again, then rushed back to the starting point.

After more than 2 seconds, Essam rushed back the second time.

The reporters on the sidelines could no longer hold back and ran to the referee to see the results.

Essam's final result was 10 seconds 28.

The stadium is 28 meters long and 56 meters round trip. Including the slowdown and re-acceleration during start and turn, this result is already very outstanding.

However, when they saw Tang Hao's test results, they were completely shocked and fell down. They reacted quickly without caring about their feelings, but felt like they picked up the camera and took photos.

8 seconds 25!

Tang Hao said lightly, breaking the record of NBA physical test and back running!

This... is too fake?!

"Tang Hao? Is it the guy who defeated Bolt in Moscow?" At this moment, someone in the reporter's group suddenly asked.

"Yes, so that's it."

The reporters then showed a sudden look of enlightenment.

Tang Hao's words, this speed is completely reasonable. If you don't dribble the ball, it will probably be one or two seconds faster than this.

After the run back, the 3/4 half-time sprint followed.

With experience in the previous project, the reporters unconsciously focused on Tang Hao.

Like the back-up run, the 3/4 sprint is also used to dribble the ball.

There are often scenes of playing fast breaks in NBA games, and this test item is about this ability.

However, what is a bit different from the back-to-back run is that this project is a single-player test.

The first appearance was Dante Burton, a sophomore from the University of Washington.

His final result was 3.55 seconds.

After the test, the reporters on the sidelines did not react much, and he couldn't help but shake his head. This result was obviously much worse for a defender.

Essam was the one who followed.

Seeing Essam appear, the reporters' interest immediately came up.

When Essam came on the court, he turned his head unconsciously and looked at Tang Hao. It was obvious that he regarded Tang Hao as his opponent.

With the referee's instructions, Essam dribbled out and could feel that his speed was much faster than the previous Bolton.

The final result also proved this judgment. His final result was 3.18 seconds, which was very good even among the defenders.

After Essam, other defenders appeared one after another, most of which averaged around 3.30 seconds. Essam is the best performer at the moment.

Tang Hao has the back order, and he is the fifth last player to play among the defenders.

The continuous defenders made the reporters a little tired, but when they saw that Tang Hao was about to play, their emotions suddenly rose.

Tang Hao was already stunning everyone in the back run, and if he sprinted, it would be even more worth looking forward to.

"start!"

With the referee's order, Tang Hao dribbled out.

As soon as he rushed out, he attracted a burst of surprise from the reporters.

So fast!

In almost the blink of an eye, Tang Hao had already passed the finish line.

The timer on the sideline also gave Tang Hao's final result.

2 seconds 48!

When I saw the results, the reporters on the scene were completely stunned.
