Thank you, Chris Mullin.
Because on this night, God's Left Hand, the Warriors' legendary figure, personally drew the number one pick of the 2005 draft for the Warriors.
Although we always say, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.
But dear Warriors fans...
This year, we don't have to lie to ourselves.
Because we all know who we will use this number one pick on.
Just last night, Chris Mullin said he heard with his own ears the drum of liberation struck by the conqueror himself.
To be honest, the moment Chris Mullin drew the number one pick, my colleagues and I felt the same way.
Now, at this moment, I urge you all to patiently wait for a month with respect for the fairness, openness, and transparency of the NBA draft lottery results...
In a month, the entire West Coast of the United States will hear that drum of liberation!"
A day after the draft lottery, on the 27th, Qin Yue officially accepted the invitation for a Warriors tryout through his agent Schwartz.
On the day of Qin Yue's tryout, all the members of the Warriors' uniformed group and coaching staff were present.
At that moment, looking at the line of Warriors' staff and coaches standing courtside, Qin Yue even suspected that he wasn't a rookie...
But the owner of the Warriors inspecting the work.
Before Qin Yue's physical evaluation, Mullin proactively approached and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a formality, but don't get injured."
However, despite saying he didn't care.
When Qin Yue's physical evaluation results came out, the Warriors' staff was honestly... left speechless by Qin Yue's report.
Name: Qin Yue.
Birthday: December 21, 1983.
Height (barefoot): 6 feet 10 inches (208 cm).
Height (with shoes): 6 feet 11 inches (211 cm).
Weight: 266.5 pounds (121 kg).
Body fat percentage: 8.8%.
Wingspan: 7 feet 6 inches (228 cm).
Standing reach: 9 feet 5 inches (288 cm).
No-step vertical: 33.5 inches (85 cm).
Max vertical: 37 inches (94 cm).
Max vertical reach: 12 feet 6.4 inches (382 cm). (Note②)
Lane agility time: 10.95 seconds.
3/4 court sprint: 3.27 seconds.
Max bench press reps (185 lbs/84 kg): 17.
How to describe Qin Yue's physical evaluation data?
Simply put, except for the max bench press reps being affected by his wingspan, preventing Qin Yue from perfectly showcasing his strength attributes...
This physical evaluation data, in any era, can be described as monstrous.
After being activated by Grover last summer and Qin Yue's self-improvement last season, on the tryout day, Qin Yue proved with these physical evaluation data why he was worth these NBA teams tanking for a year to get him.
As for the upcoming one-on-one drills.....
Specially brought in by the Warriors coaching staff as Qin Yue's opponent, Adonal Foyle, was thoroughly convinced in less than three possessions.
Standing at 6 feet 10 inches and weighing over 250 pounds, Foyle not only couldn't gain an advantage over Qin Yue in physical confrontations, but he was almost faked out of his shoes by Qin Yue's crossover while defending him.
After this one-on-one, Foyle, who was once the eighth pick in the first round in 1997, said to the team's head coach Mike Montgomery with a frustrated face: "It's not that I wasn't trying hard...it's just unstoppable!"
Seeing this, Mulin and Montgomery immediately arranged for Qin Yue to enter the next stage.
Which is the interview stage.
But unlike typical interviews.
Because today's interview, to be precise...
Should be Qin Yue interviewing the Warriors' coaching and uniformed staff.
This is what sets Qin Yue apart from other rookies.
After all, who made him the obvious choice in the NBA since Tim Duncan?
...
Note①: Please do not doubt the mental state of NBA teams when drawing the number one pick (especially when there is a big prospect in that year) because historically, there have been crazier than Mullin, but novels can only describe subtly since reality doesn't need logic.
Note②: Remember to first convert to feet and then inches before adding them together when converting units...I must say, the imperial system is really troublesome.
