The players called Su Yan a beast.
It was purely teasing.
Besides the teasing, everyone couldn't help but envy the natural advantage Su Yan possessed due to his extremely high good looks.
They wanted to refuse too.
But no beautiful Misses were throwing themselves into their arms.
*Cough, cough*... If they were, they wouldn't refuse either.
Everyone chatted cheerfully.
The late-night snack last night instantly brought everyone closer to Su Yan.
Half an hour later.
After everyone finished breakfast, changed into their clothes and shoes, they came to the court for daily training.
The season record was 1 win and 10 losses.
They were still ranked last in the Eastern Conference.
The New York Knicks might still Miss the Playoffs this year, but that didn't stop everyone from training hard and constantly improving themselves.
Su Yan had only been training for a little while.
Coach Mike D'Antoni came over and said with a smile, "Su Yan, come on, let's re-test your physical attributes today."
Sure enough.
The [Primary Physical Enhancement] + [Max Level Three-Pointer] made yesterday's performance too abnormal compared to before.
Re-testing his physical attributes.
Su Yan wasn't surprised. It was nothing; displaying talent would only bring benefits, not harm.
First was the physical talent measurement.
Under the influence of [Basic Physical Enhancement], all of Su Yan's physical talents reached the NBA standard level.
He was an absolutely qualified NBA player.
But Coach D'Antoni's eyes lit up after seeing the results. "Su Yan's physical talents aren't outstanding in any single area.
But... they are sufficiently standard."
"What does that mean?"
Morrison Barton, the assistant coach beside him, somewhat understood, yet didn't quite grasp it.
"Ha~"
D'Antoni explained with a laugh: "For example, Su Yan's speed isn't outstanding among Guards, but it meets the standard baseline for a Guard.
However, if you place that standard among ordinary Small Forwards, Su Yan's speed is slightly faster, and shaking off a Center is effortless.
Similarly.
Su Yan's strength isn't prominent at the Power Forward or even Center positions; it barely meets the standard.
But when matched against an average Small Forward, he has a strength advantage, and against a Guard, his suppression is very strong."
"Wooow~"
Morrison Barton exclaimed, "Then Su Yan's talent is actually quite good—very balanced and standard.
This will allow him to become a decent defender."
"Exactly."
D'Antoni nodded: "The talent Su Yan currently displays allows him to defend players at multiple positions.
Although matching up against All-Stars, or even Superstars, will be difficult.
Overall, it's pretty good. At least... compared to the previous physical test, there's been an earth-shattering change.
He was indeed hiding his strength."
Why?
Morrison Barton couldn't figure it out. He tried to explain: "Could Su Yan just intend to quietly remain a vase?"
"Maybe."
D'Antoni shrugged, not caring, and gave a hearty laugh: "I don't care about the past, but now that I know his talent.
Excuse me.
I will make him realize his talent!
I think... he must be very willing."
Physical talent was just an appetizer.
Everyone's focus was entirely on Su Yan's Three-point Shots; that was the priority.
Was it a flash in the pan due to a hot hand?
Or... was it outrageously accurate shooting?
Under the official testing of the NBA team, the results would be out immediately.
Su Yan didn't plan on holding back either.
The test method was the same as the Three-Point Contest: Left Corner, Left Wing, Top of the Key, Right Wing, and Right Corner.
A total of five spots.
Shooting ten Three-point Shots at each spot not only shows the average three-point percentage but also reveals which areas a player is better at shooting Three-point Shots from.
Some players don't have omnidirectional shooting; they specialize in shooting or offense in a specific area.
For example: "Corner Tucker," his three-point percentage in the corner is significantly higher than in other positions.
Or.
"The Stone Buddha" Duncan's 45-Degree Bank Shot—his bank shot percentage at the 45-degree spot on both sides near the basket is surprisingly high.
Other areas are much worse.
Using this testing method, one can determine a player's offensive specialties and formulate specific game tactics accordingly.
This is something that the coaches of any team are very good at.
The Three-point Shot test was about to begin.
Players like David Lee, McGrady, Larry Hughes, and Gallinari all gathered to watch the test.
Those eight flawless Three-point Shots from last night.
Gave everyone a huge shock, and every player wanted to know Su Yan's true level.
This determined whether the team gained an Elite Shooter.
"David, what do you think Su Yan's single-spot percentage will be?!"
McGrady asked.
David Lee stroked his chin, pondered briefly, and said, "Based on his crazy performance last night.
Perhaps... a 70% shooting percentage?"
"Wooow~"
McGrady was surprised. "That's a considerably high three-point percentage.
I couldn't even reach that in my prime.
That's a percentage only achievable by Top-tier Shooters like Ray Allen, Lewis, and Peja."
David Lee shrugged, unconcerned: "If Su Yan can continue last night's form.
I don't think he'd be worse than Ray Allen or any Shooter in the league."
This evaluation.
For a Rookie, especially an Undrafted Player, the praise was too high.
"Hahaha!"
McGrady laughed loudly, looked at Su Yan, and a fiery glow flashed in his eyes. "I hope he can amaze us!!!"
The test officially began.
Left Corner, the first spot.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Su Yan started with three Three-point Shots, all Bricks.
"Looks like it's not going well."
McGrady complained.
No way.
Three Bricks to start, and this is practice without any defense? Isn't this embarrassing me?
Su Yan, that's not cool.
David Lee was stunned, but he quickly maintained his composure, explaining nervously, "His hand isn't warm yet, he needs to find his touch!"
Just as he was speaking.
"Swish!"
Su Yan's fourth attempt went in, and immediately after... the fifth Three-point Shot also went in.
"See, I told you."
David Lee suddenly became confident, and Larry Hughes also nodded silently, continuing to watch Su Yan perform.
Second spot: Left Wing.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Su Yan, whose touch had returned, hit 3 consecutive shots again, making 5 consecutive Three-point Shots after missing 3.
It wasn't over yet.
He followed up with 2 more Swishes, hitting all the remaining shots at the second spot, and his [Max Level Three-Pointer] touch was fully activated.
Third spot: Top of the Key.
All in.
Fourth spot: Right Wing.
Five attempts, all successful. The basketball seemed to have "GPS" installed, flying accurately into the hoop every time.
"Holy shit!"
McGrady's eyes widened. "Su Yan has hit 17 consecutive Three-point Shots. This... this is just too accurate."
"Haha!"
David Lee laughed and straightened his back. "Yan's touch is completely hot! Everything he shoots goes in!"
"That's awesome!"
Coach Mike D'Antoni, standing nearby, couldn't help but applaud, his eyes full of anticipation. "Can Su Yan hit 22 in a row!"
