The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 2 Training Camp Contract

Eddie is a top student. He entered CAA and became an agent after graduating from university.

After seeing the extravagant life of the upper class and the huge income gap of the broker, Eddie changed his mind.

He is an outstanding talent who has won scholarships in school, but he has done nothing in CAA. He is not reconciled.

So Eddie resigned and became a free agent. After several years, he understood a truth. His failure was not because someone suppressed him, but because he simply couldn't do it.

Now he only has a few [-]th-line actors and models coaxed in, plus boxers who can't fight, so he can basically pick up girls only by mouth.

A few days ago he dated a stupid blonde from A&M University with big breasts and money, and it was time for him to be flattered.

He felt responsible for his bragging when that silly chick who only knew enough about basketball to have a handsome guy asked him to introduce a friend to the Spurs.

Eddie showed a professional posture, "Let him send his resume. As long as he has the strength, I can help him with a phone call."

Then he casually glanced at the resume in the mailbox of his mobile phone and dialed a number.

The art of bragging lies in seven points of falsehood and three points of truth. Eddie really has a classmate who is doing well in the Spurs. He is not the head coach or assistant coach, but he is barely on the coaching staff.

"Brother, I found a basketball genius in the amateur league, absolutely slipping through the net..."

Zhang Xiaotian has always dreamed of professional basketball. He has a well-crafted resume and basketball videos ready-made. He has recommended himself many times, but this time he sent the information to a private mailbox in a daze according to the non-mainstream hairstyle in front of him.

"Don't thank me, come on." The confused girl left quickly.

I was cheated, but it was also the non-mainstream who would fall down the stairs who was cheated. He just satisfied a fan's request to thank him.

For him, even non-professional fans who only watched him play a game are very precious, although in the end he didn't even know the name of this confused girl.

Three days later, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly received a call from an agent named Eddie, telling him that the Spurs were willing to give him a training camp contract, but he had to sign to become a player under Eddie's banner first.

Salary income is 4% and advertising revenue is 20%. It is a very common broker appointment, and even the contract is a public version.

After confirming that it was not a scam, Zhang Xiaotian signed a contract with the other party as quickly as possible.

There is nothing to think about, the opportunity to enter the NBA is what he has always dreamed of, he is willing to give no money, let alone a subsidy of [-] US dollars a day, he is willing to give it another go.

After seeing the Spurs staff, Zhang Xiaocai knew the details.

It turned out that the Spurs had paid attention to him very early, but his performance in the rookie training camp did not impress the opponent.

The physical test data is only average. Although he can play multiple positions and his defense is also a bright spot, he is an absolute core play when he shines, and his performance as a substitute in college is not so impressive.

The Spurs finally chose a more distinctive role player, and Zhang Xiaotian lost the selection.

Over the past two years, scouts from the opposing team have occasionally paid attention to him, but his style of play is still not what the Spurs urgently need. This time, the Spurs wanted to increase the depth of the lineup, and someone reminded them, so they planned to give him a chance.

Eddie just pretended to make that phone call, but he didn't expect it to succeed. His classmate who had a normal relationship recommended Zhang Xiaotian to the coaching staff.

Better than nothing, as a by-product of picking up girls, Eddie brought Zhang Xiaotian to the Spurs team preparing for the summer league.

[Get the attention of the Spurs, the task is completed, and a reward status is hot card. 】

[Status hot card: 120% of the strength in a game. 】

[Mission: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and participate in an NBA regular season. 】

After winning the training camp contract, the basketball championship system responded almost simultaneously.

Zhang Xiaotian was overwhelmed, this was not a hallucination, it was a miracle, he got the opportunity, next he will train hard and go all out.

"Thanks, your help got me a training camp contract."

Zhang Xiaotian only found out the mobile phone number of the confused girl after the fact, and sent a message of thanks after the dust settled.

About two hours later, the other party returned a message.

"You're welcome, my sister is righteous...why do you get up so early?"

On July 7, Zhang Xiaotian came to the training facility of the Spurs.

Two days to prove that I can stay and participate in the summer league, and five days to impress the coach and get more playing time.

Zhang Xiaotian arrived half an hour earlier, but there were already people warming up in the arena.

His eyes lit up, and it turned out to be Kawhi Leonard, the biggest achievement of the Spurs last season, the All-Rookie First Team. He didn't expect him to play in the summer league, but he has already secured the main position of the Spurs.

Zhang Xiaotian hurried forward to say hello, Leonard nodded expressionlessly and continued to warm up.

The main players are working so hard, he must work harder, Zhang Xiaotian put down his sports bag, and began to warm up seriously.

As the appointed time arrived, players and coaches arrived one after another.

There are quite a few familiar faces, including Leonard’s one-year rookie Corey Joseph, James Anderson who is still in his rookie period, and last year’s fringe players Derek Bayes, Eric Dawson, Eric Ke Diogu, this year's rookie Marcus Danmon, and Ryan Richards, who participated in the draft with Zhang Xiaotian for a year and was selected by the Spurs but did not sign.

In addition, there are undrafted players in the Development League, and there are also early undrafted players like Zhang Xiaotian.

"Boys, come here quickly."

A black man in a suit and leather shoes walked to the center of the arena, and Zhang Xiaotian recognized him. This is the assistant coach of the Spurs, and Jacque Vaughn, who won the championship with the Spurs when he was a player.

"I'm Jacque Vaughn, the coach of the Spurs summer league, you can call me Coach Vaughn or Mr. Vaughn, to be honest, I don't know most of you, so...show yourself Bar."

"However, I have a small piece of advice. What the team needs to dig out is the third team. How to do it, you all have to use your brains...Okay, training begins."

Zhang Xiaotian worked very hard, and so did everyone else. Except for Leonard, everyone else had to prove themselves for the third team.

Twenty players, apart from Zhang Xiaotian, a Chinese, there are also French, British, and Germans. It is very complicated, and now some people who have a little friendship have begun to form a group.

Zhang Xiaotian was in the amateur league before, and he had no acquaintances in the Spurs team, so he was basically excluded, and the few people who conflicted with his position even regarded him as an enemy.

"Huangpiboy, give way." An abrupt voice suddenly sounded behind Zhang Xiaotian.
