NBA backer king

Chapter 382 Trial Training Result
The two came to the training hall, and there was a large group of people, including rookies and their agents, as well as the staff of the Suns.

The head coach Westphal and several assistant coaches are here, they have not left the team, and they need to complete the work of this season after the draft.

The Suns did not open the trial training to the media, and the same goes for other teams, otherwise their draft intentions may be exposed.

"Too thin?"

After the staff introduced the identities of the rookies, Colangelo frowned a little.

When he saw Kiedles, he shook his head secretly, observing that the real person is more intuitive than the data on paper. He is about the same height as Kobe, but has lost two circles of weight.

Looking at Kobe again, when he was four years younger, his body was still immature, but now he looks much stronger than Kidders, and his bones look thicker.

"Paul, let's test first, and then arrange for them to play a game." He said to Westphal.

Lao Wang sat on the sidelines and watched the excitement. Many rookies glanced at him from time to time. Obviously his presence distracted these young people.

Then the phone rang, it was Hawksman's call.

The two chatted for at least a quarter of an hour before ending the phone call after arranging their schedule.

He was going to send Yu Feihong back to China first, and then go to Japan to make money, so that she would not have to travel to Japan with her, which would be exhausting.

This year's offseason is still very busy, there are banquets, the construction of Fengshen Street, the Olympics, and training...

By the way, thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't paid attention to the reward for winning the MVP last time. He opened the system and looked at it. The stingy guy only gave 1000 points, so now he only has 1200 points on hand, which is too little, and these points cannot be spent indiscriminately.

He has recently felt that the Plum Blossom Step has made some progress, and there should be a breakthrough in the near future. If he can reach the third realm, there is hope for him to complete the task.

Just as he was thinking wildly, someone came to him and sat down beside him, and it was lightning.

"Kevin, is the contract finished?" He asked with concern.

Lightning glanced at Little Colangelo not far away, and whispered, "We've talked, the management is going to give me a two-year contract of 1500 million yuan, and I agree."

"Two million in two years?"

Lao Wang mumbled for a while, the number of years is a bit short, but it is a pity that Lightning did not catch up with the good time, and now the salary has risen sharply, but he has entered the late stage of his career.

Lightning is also unlucky, injured during the regular season, and injured again in the Western Conference Finals, otherwise the contract may be longer.

"How's the shoulder now?" he asked.

Kevin Johnson touched his right shoulder, shook his head and said, "No big problem. Dr. Carter said that he will recover after a period of rest. I am going to go on vacation first, and then I will do some training to maintain my condition."

Old Wang was taken aback, is this for extra practice?
Kevin Johnson smiled and said: "I hope the management can get a good guy this time. In the last two years, I still plan to give it a try."

"Hopefully."

The two chatted while watching the rookies test. An hour later, a rookie match began.

Westphal arranged for Kidders and Kobe to make a direct comparison, which is convenient for the management to observe and make decisions.

Although Kobe and Bryant didn't know the management's intentions, they also knew each other. Their predicted positions were not far apart, and they were both shooting guards.

"It's a bit soft!"

Old Wang murmured.

Kevin Johnson nodded. Kidders, who looked very thin, kept evading Kobe's confrontation.

On the other hand, Kobe took the initiative to increase the intensity of confrontation. When facing the defender, he shot decisively, with a bit of blacksmith spirit, and dared to throw around in double teams.

"Old K, your apprentice is like a basket." Kevin Johnson complained.

Lao Wang laughed, nodded and said: "There is a problem with the rationality of the shot."

"I heard that our selection range is not large, who are you optimistic about?" Kevin Johnson asked.

"If they choose one of them, of course it will be Kobe." Old Wang said without hesitation.

Lightning nodded. The ability to confront is very important. After these rookies enter the alliance, they will know what real confrontation is.

If the confrontation ability is not strong, then you can only be an open shooter, and the main shooting guard of a team must have the ability to attack with the ball. An open shooter cannot play the main shooting guard.

"Aren't you going to communicate with Brian?" Lightning asked.

"Is it useful?"

Lao Wang shook his head. Colangelo Jr. is not an incompetent person. He doesn't need to interfere with the work of the management.

He also has a business of his own, and he would hate it if his subordinates interfered with his affairs at every turn, and would fire him if he got annoyed.

From the perspective of the boss of the team, if someone grabs his ball and grabs his shots on the court, he will not be happy.

Only half of the game was played, and Colangelo called a stop. He had already seen what he wanted to see, so he didn't waste any more time.

At 04:30, the trial training ended, the other rookies left, and Lao Wang kept Kobe.

"Old K, am I doing well?" Bryant asked excitedly.

He felt very good about himself, and took the initiative to confront Kidders throughout the whole process. In singles, he gained the upper hand, knocked down his opponent once, and succeeded in overtaking his opponent three times.

"Wait a minute."

Lao Wang ordered that he go to Little Colangelo to ask about the situation and give Kobe an attitude.

He didn't have an attitude before, that's because it's not something he should be in charge of. The team hasn't tried Kobe Bryant yet, so he can't give his attitude. Now that the tryout is over, the management will definitely come to a conclusion, so he has to have an attitude, so that he can explain to Kobe.

"Brian, coach, do you have any conclusions?" Colangelo Jr. was discussing the results of the trial training with the coaching staff, and he asked after passing by.

"Old K, the preliminary trial training is over, I am more optimistic about Kobe."

Colangelo Jr. said something, and then said: "But he is still too young, and I can't make a final decision. But among the rookies, there is no better shooting guard near our pick. Iverson and Ray Allen will definitely not fall into our pick."

"Then can you give him an answer now? The Lakers have promised that if they can't choose him, they will find a way to trade him." Old Wang said.

"Really?"

Little Colangelo pondered for a while, glanced at Kobe in the distance, and said: "If we choose Kobe, I am afraid that it will take at least three years to train him. His body, skills, and game experience still have time to grow."

Westphal nodded and said, "He's just a high school student. If he doesn't arrive, he won't be able to play the main force directly. That's unimaginable. So if we choose him, we still need a transitional main shooting guard."

"Return Wilkins to the main lineup and let him take Kobe with him?" Danny Ainge said.

Lewis said: "In the game just now, his back-hitting technique was very similar to your old K. It seems that he really learned your technique."

"A little bit." Old Wang smiled.

Colangelo Jr. also nodded. The reason why he was tempted by Kobe is also very important.

He said: "The main lineup for next season, center old K, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Horry, shooting guard Wilkins, point guard Lightning, the first and second positions are aging, and focus on training Kobe. What do you think?"

Danny Ainge said: "Rashid Wallace replaced Ben Wallace. He can pull to the three-point line, which can just create a breakthrough for Wilkins. Kobe will be the same in the future."

Lewis added: "For a shooting guard, the ability to pull up the jump shot is very important. You can break through the defender and shoot open, or go outside the paint, pull the opponent's penalty defender out, and then pass in.

It is necessary to strengthen Kobe's shooting training, especially the ability of emergency stop jump shots.Wilkins' ability to stop and jump shot is not very good. We only let him enter the bench lineup. "

However, he said with some doubts: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be back to the original situation, when Wilkins rushed in, he would also bring the defender in, adding trouble to old K?"

Westphal said: "This is indeed the case, and Wilkins has been transferred to the main lineup, and the bench lineup is also short of people. I think we still need to find a way to get a main shooting guard who can shoot suddenly and defend well."

"It's too difficult!" Little Colangelo shook his head and smiled wryly.

Little Nelson said with a smile: "There is actually only one shooting guard who is most suitable for Old K."

"Who?" Several other people asked at the same time, and even Old K was very interested in knowing.

"Michael Jordan."

Little Nelson said a name that made everyone dumbfounded.

Little Colangelo said helplessly: "That's true, Jordan is good at shooting suddenly, and he is the best match with Old K."

"Kobe's idol is Jordan, and his skills are also imitated from Jordan. In fact, his pull-up jump shot is also good, but his body has not yet grown up, and his skills have not yet been fully finalized." Danny Ainge said.

Colangelo Jr. finally made a decision and said, "I will continue to look for a suitable shooting guard. But in the draft, I decided to give Kobe the 13th pick. His talent and potential are still worth cultivating. Let's hold him in our hands for a period of time before we talk about it."

Lao Wang nodded. The second position will be weaker next season. Wilkins is old and does not match him well. Kobe still needs time to grow, but there is no way, so take your time.

He turned around and told Kobe about the management's decision. Kobe seemed very happy. Although the Lakers are good, the Suns have old K, who can learn the skills he wants to learn most here. He still hopes to join the Suns.

That night, the Bulls eliminated the Magic with a big score of [-] to [-] and reached the finals.

The finals will start on June 6. The Bulls have the home court advantage, with a two-three-two home and away system.

On May 5, the NBA league draw ceremony was held in New York. Thirteen teams that failed to make the playoffs participated in the draw ceremony.

The scene was in a five-star hotel, and a business meeting room was rented, which was well-arranged and broadcast live by TNT TV station across the United States.

The Suns have the Hornets' lottery pick, so Colangelo Jr. also participated in the lottery ceremony, but I'm afraid he won't have the chance to be on stage to draw lots.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lao Wang tuned the channel to the TNT channel on time.

第一个进行抽签的是95/96赛季常规赛倒数No.1温哥华灰熊，战绩是15胜67负。

The probability of the Grizzlies winning the No. 25 lottery is as high as 19.9%. After it, it is Philadelphia with a probability of [-]%, and then the Raptors and other teams.

The first lottery is drawn first, until it is drawn, and then the second and third lottery are drawn.

Only the top three picks are drawn, and the rest are ranked in reverse order of record.

After Stern gave a speech, the lottery began, and the general manager of the Grizzlies walked onto the stage very nervously.

TNT commentator Dort laughed: "As a newly established team, the Grizzlies really need this No. [-] pick, but sometimes things backfire..."

"..."

Grizzlies general manager Stu Jackson, who was three meters away, turned around and glared at Dort angrily, his eyes could kill.

"Shh!"

Latem quickly raised his index finger, signaling his partner to shut up.

"Hey... I didn't say he couldn't get it? Haha..." Dot couldn't help lowering his head, his shoulders were shaking non-stop.

Stu Jackson rubbed his hands, which had been repeatedly washed with holy water and nourished with goat's milk, believing that God would bless him.

He pressed the button with trembling hands, fourteen ping-pong balls jumped up, and his heart also jumped.

"Guess the size and there is still a half chance of winning. This is only a 25% chance. I don't think he can get the No. [-] lottery." Phoenix, Lao Wang muttered.

"No matter what, it won't be the Suns' turn, right?" Yu Feihong said.

"That is, we are the last one. If the champion is signed to us, Mr. Stern will not be scolded to death?" Old Wang said with a smile.

Far away in Los Angeles, the Lakers boss Old Buss was also watching the lottery ceremony. At this time, he said to his daughter Jenny Buss: "I think this No. [-] lottery will belong to Philadelphia."

"Why?" Jenny Buss asked puzzled.

Bass thoughtfully said: "Because God hopes that Philadelphia's football market can be maintained by this No. [-] pick."

Jenny Buss was taken aback, God is too free, why not care about this?

At the lottery scene, after a few seconds, four balls were drawn, and the result came out.

Stu Jackson's face was neither blue nor pale, and a little dark. He looked back at his boss, Arthur Griffith, and spread his hands with a wry smile. There were 250 combinations, but unfortunately he didn't get any of them.

Griffith is a local sports giant in Vancouver. He looks calm and normal, but his eyes reveal disappointment.

In contrast to them, Philadelphia is smiling, and now it's their turn to try their luck.

The owner of the digital team is Enne Sneijder. He just took over the digital team this year and spent 1250 million US dollars. The digital team failed to rebuild the year before last. The previous owner simply sold the team because he lost confidence in the team.

Sneijder rubbed his hands and stood up. Believing he had better luck, he decided to draw lots himself.

"yeah!"

"Ugh!"

After 20 seconds, his cheers were heard, followed by the frustrated sighs of other teams.

"Look, tonight, God is in charge of this matter. I hope he can take care of us Lakers by this time next year." Los Angeles, Old Buss smiled.

With Philadelphia taking the No. [-] pick, it was the Grizzlies' turn to draw the No. [-] pick.

This time, the Grizzlies owner Griffith decided to come by himself and learn from Sneijder.

It's a pity that his hands are also smelly, and he failed to draw the second place lottery, and the disappointment in his eyes overflowed directly.

"He's really unlucky this time, no wonder God." Los Angeles, Old Buss continued to complain.

Subsequently, the Raptors after the Grizzlies won the second pick, and the Grizzlies played shirtless again, drawing the lottery.

Griffith still decided to come by himself, to control his own destiny, and no one will blame anyone if he loses.

Fortunately, this time he finally won the lottery and got the third lottery.

On the 30th, Wang Tiejun and Yu Feihong flew to Los Angeles, where they would stay for more than ten days. Old Wang still needed to participate in some business activities.

On June 6st, the finals began, and the Bulls played at home, relying on the advantage of the home court to take the lead in the next game.

But the process was very hard. After four quarters, there was no winner, and the game was won in overtime.

But on the [-]rd, the Mosaic Big Three worked together to win a game.

Then the two teams came to Houston to fight again, and Mosaic took advantage of the home court to play another game, leading the Bulls by a big score of [-] to [-].

However, the Bulls are too strong. Jordan scored 4 points in the G44 game, shooting 65% from the field, blowing up the mosaic and tying the big score.

The G5 battle between the two sides continued in Houston. Mosaic performed better this time, winning the crucial third game and getting the match point of the finals.

It's a pity that the Big Three were too complacent. After rushing to Chicago, they lost the G6 game, and the two sides entered the tiebreaker.

NO.13 On this day, the tiebreaker started.

At 9 o'clock in the morning that day, Wang Tiejun and Yu Feihong left the United States and boarded a plane to the capital.

At 6 am on June 14, capital time, the plane landed at the Capital International Airport.

At this time, the tiebreaker had just ended, when Pharaoh got off the plane and just turned on his domestic mobile phone, Barkley called.

"Old K, we won! I won the second championship! Haha, the second championship! That idiot Hakeem actually cried, haha, it's so funny..." Barkley roared excitedly.

"Charles, wasn't it the same when you won the championship?" Lao Wang sarcastically said.

"Did I cry? That's impossible, absolutely not." Barkley denied.

"Okay, I just got off the plane, so I won't talk to you anymore, see you at the Olympics." Old Wang said.

"Okay, I'll watch your games at the Olympics." Barkley laughed.

At this time, in the Chicago United Center, Jordan was full of disappointment. He worked hard for a season, and he didn't even compete with the old K for MVP. In the end, he lost to the Big Three. He was really unwilling.

But he has no complaints. Dameng played very well tonight, with 36 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 8 blocks. He almost scored a quadruple-double in the finals. He scored 42 points in vain.

Hakeem Olajuwon was not far away, hugging Drexler and Barkley, all three of them were in tears.

The three of them can be said to have been crushed by Jordan for a lifetime, and defeating Jordan to win the championship means too much to them.

Especially Dameng, as the No. 84 pick in 84, after Jordan won a series of honors, he has been nothing. This made the media have been questioning the draft that year, thinking that he was not worthy of being the No. [-] pick in [-]. Now he defeated Jordan with his own hands, which is the best response to the media.

Barkley, this is the second time he beat Jordan to win the championship. What kind of bullshit is he not admitting to the group? It is the big dream and not him who are grouped together. Winning the championship is the most real thing. His historical status will be raised in the future.

Drexler, who defeated Jordan again to win the championship, was as happy as Barkley.

"You three guys are too shameless!"

When Jordan came to congratulate him, he cursed unwillingly.

"Come on, Michael, you should think about how to deal with Old K in the future. After winning the championship twice, he failed to defend the title. You can play with him in the future." Barkley said with a smile.

"I won't let him defend the title." Jordan gritted his teeth.

"Are you going to stay in Chicago?" Barkley asked.

"talk later."

Jordan shook his head and turned away, leaving the United Center to the winner.

"Are we going to break up too?" Dameng said with some regret.

"That's for the future, let's celebrate wildly now, haha!" Barkley said excitedly.

"Oh hoo!"
