Chapter 105 Physical Testing
He recognized the car.
Strictly speaking, Wang Xiucheng had seen this car online.
I was just looking at it at the time, but I never expected that one would be placed in front of me today.
This is a black, custom-built, six-wheeled Hellfire Apocalypse pickup truck!
Wang Xiucheng took the instruction manual and flipped through it: thermal imaging and night vision cameras, a No. 5 whistle for locomotives, nitrogen equipment, 850 horsepower...
Just looking at these specs is enough to be intimidating.
"How much does this car cost?"
Aunt Ma asked from the side.
Wang Xiucheng smiled and shook his head, "It's not expensive. Even a customized one would only cost two or three hundred thousand. It's just a big toy."
Aunt Ma's eyes changed when she heard "two or three hundred thousand".
But for those who can afford this car, it's really just a big toy, not nearly as expensive as a supercar, but Wang Xiucheng really likes this toy.
"Brother, who sent this? Was it Jenna?" Ma Wei asked mysteriously from the side.
Wang Xiucheng did not answer, which can be taken as tacit agreement.
It must be Jenna; no one else would buy Wang Xiucheng such an expensive and impractical toy.
Furthermore, Jenna did say she would give Wang Xiucheng a big birthday present, but since Wang Xiucheng's birthday was in China, he didn't know what the present was.
"Come inside, everyone, let's get ready for dinner."
Ma Xiaoxuan secretly pursed her lips and invited everyone into the house.
Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma followed Ma Xiaoxuan back into the house, while Wang Xiucheng and Ma Wei got back into the car and studied it for a long time.
the next day.
Wang Xiucheng went to the hospital for a check-up early in the morning with the team doctor.
The examination results were very good, and several experts unanimously agreed that Wang Xiucheng had fully recovered.
This also relieved Rockets team doctor Alex.
After the check-up, Wang Xiucheng went to the team's training facility.
The training hall was a bit quiet today. If Wang Xiucheng hadn't contacted the team in advance, the training hall wouldn't have even been open today.
The entire Rockets team departed for Philadelphia this afternoon to prepare for tomorrow's game against the 76ers.
Then they will play the Wizards again in two days, after which they will return to Houston to end their short road trip.
Alex and a few others retrieved the ball for Wang Xiucheng, while keeping a close watch on him, fearing that he might feel unwell.
Wang Xiucheng was fine; he would shoot a few three-pointers, dunk a few times, and practice his free throws.
While it appeared to be training, Wang Xiucheng was actually completing today's system tasks.
Although the points are not many, every point is very important to Wang Xiucheng now.
The news of Wang Xiucheng's appearance at the training facility quickly spread within the Rockets organization, and Stone and Patrick, who remained in Houston, soon appeared at the facility as well.
Wang Xiucheng finished a set of three-point shooting drills before coming to the sidelines to meet Stone and Patrick.
“Alex said you’re alright, but since you’ve just recovered, it’s best to be careful,” Stone said, handing Wang Xiucheng a bottle of water.
Wang Xiucheng nodded, and Stone suddenly said, "There's a Viper Development League game tonight, do you want to go and get used to the game's pace?"
"Development alliance?"
Wang Xiucheng found it somewhat amusing; he had almost forgotten that he was in a two-way contract.
"Okay," Wang Xiucheng agreed.
Patrick, who was standing next to Wang Xiucheng, patted him on the shoulder with surprise in his eyes. "Wang, you seem to have grown taller and stronger."
"This isn't about being strong, it's about getting fat. You know how delicious Chinese food is, I've been indulging a bit too much these past two weeks." Wang Xiucheng rubbed his stomach and smiled awkwardly.
Wang Xiucheng was also somewhat surprised. He had gained 6 kilograms in weight, and he thought the change would be significant, but in fact, it wasn't at all. Almost all of those 6 kilograms turned into muscle, and people who weren't very familiar with him wouldn't even notice the change.
“You really are growing every month,” Patrick said enviously.
Although he's not very old, only 27, he's already past the point of growing taller. His father's genes aren't very good either, so he'd be quite satisfied if he could grow to 1.8 meters tall.
But this doesn't stop Patrick from envying Wang Xiucheng.
As a member of the Fertitta family, he rarely envied others.
“By the way, since we’re free anyway, why don’t you get your physical fitness tested?” Patrick suddenly suggested.
Stone nodded, and then led his men directly to the warehouse next door to move things.
Wang Xiucheng didn't even have time to refuse.
He didn't undergo a physical test when he joined the team. He was an undrafted player, and he wasn't invited to the league's physical tests. He didn't take any tests after joining the Rockets.
His height and weight data on the official website are from his time at the University of Houston.
Unexpectedly, Patrick suddenly decided to test Wang Xiucheng's data today.
"Let's take the test," Wang Xiucheng thought, wanting to know how much his physical test results differed from the data on the attribute interface.
After training for about an hour, warm-up was no longer necessary.
After all the testing equipment was set up, Stone stood on the sidelines with his notebook and took notes.
Patrick crossed his arms, also eagerly anticipating Wang Xiucheng's physical test results.
After half an hour.
Wang Xiucheng has already driven that exaggerated Hellfire home.
But Patrick and Stone, team doctor Alex, and even the gym manager were all standing in the arena.
"Anyone who reveals Wang Xiucheng's physical test results will be fired from the Rockets. There are only six people here, and no matter who it is, it's impossible for them not to be discovered."
Patrick spoke with a rare seriousness.
Although it's said there are six people, besides Patrick himself and Stone, who wouldn't dare say it even if he were given the guts, there are actually only four.
Reporters like Woj and Shams are able to know about each team so quickly and accurately because they have informants at each team.
But there are only so many people here today. If any news gets out, that would be incredibly audacious.
The four men looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Patrick was satisfied and left the arena with Stone.
"When do you plan to discuss the new contract with Wang Xiucheng?" Patrick suddenly asked when they arrived at the parking lot.
"We were supposed to talk, but Wang Xiucheng's agent asked for too much."
"How much is too much?"
"She wants 4600 million over 4 years."
Stone's eyelids twitched when he mentioned the price.
“It’s a bit more, even more than Green.” Patrick took a breath. “But if you don’t sign him now, the price won’t be this high in the summer.”
“I know.” Stone nodded quickly. “I’ll contact Wang Xiucheng’s agent right away.”
Patrick opened his supercar door and got in, without closing it, and said, "Everyone says my dad is stingy, and yes, he is stingy."
“That’s all his hard-earned money, but if we can see a chance to win the championship, our family can definitely afford the luxury tax. If we can’t afford 3 million, can’t we afford 1 million? At worst, we can take out the league’s annual dividends to pay the luxury tax, it’s not a big deal.”
After saying this, Patrick closed the car door and left the training facility.
Stone then returned to his car.
He knew what Patrick meant earlier; it wasn't his meaning, but Fertitta's.
He immediately pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, and Stone looked surprised.
This is Wang Xiucheng's physical test data.
