Chapter 13 Trial Knights, Good Luck

On June 6, the NBA Finals game ended. Under the leadership of Duncan, the Spurs did not give the Nets a chance to overtake. They eliminated their opponents with a total score of 16-4 and won the second championship in team history.

On June 6, the enthusiasm for the finals slowly subsided, and fans, scouts, coaches, etc. all once again focused their attention on the rookies who will participate in the draft this year.

ESPN is an authoritative sports TV station and sports news reporting column in the United States. They have made predictions for this draft.

ESPN believes that the No. [-] pick in this draft is none other than LeBron James. There is no doubt that basketball people in the United States and even around the world may have no opinion.

Ranked second is Carmelo Anthony, known as the absolute twin with LeBron James, Darko Milicic is ranked third, Dwyane Wade is ranked fourth, Chris Bosh Fifth, Chris Kaman sixth
From the first round to the second round, there was no Ling Bo's name.

For Ling Bo, this year's draft seems to have completely lost his chance.He is faced with a choice, continue to participate in the draft, may lose the draft, become a joke of the whole campus, be humiliated by Pesci to his heart's content, or choose to give up this year's draft at this last time, and he will still be ridiculed, such a cowardly bastard. of.

Just when Ling Bo was in a dilemma, on June 6, the invitation for a trial training came out of the blue, so Ling Bo decided to give it a go.

This news was told by Xia Liu to Ling Bo. In the rented house of the two, Xia Liu waved his mobile phone and shouted like a merchant at a street stall: "Good news, good news, great news!"

"Ling Bo, congratulations on receiving the invitation to try out from the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the last tryout before the draft. No matter what, you must seize the opportunity."

Ling Bo was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Why haven't I received any news?"

Xia Liu said: "I, Xia Liu, hereby officially inform you that I am your manager. I will arrange your itinerary, including all kinds of endorsement cooperation after you become famous, for you. You can play with peace of mind."

Ling Bo was even more confused. When did you say that the manager is the manager? Did I agree?
Well, for now it's up to you.

Xia Liu told Ling Bo about the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Generally speaking, the record of the Cavaliers in the league has been poor. In the past season, they only got 17 wins and 65 losses, and they have been stuck in the bottom of the quagmire. .

"Maybe there were no superstars willing to go to the Cavaliers in the past, and they have always been the background board of Jordan's apotheosis, but this year they replaced the new team uniform and team logo, which means that the Cavaliers will start again."

"The most important thing is that LeBron James is destined to become a superstar. He is the son of Akron. He has a very high possibility of joining his hometown team. So if you get the approval of the Cavaliers, in the second round Being selected is the best news, as long as we can be selected, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Ling Bo said: "You mean, this is an opportunity to become teammates with LeBron, this is an opportunity for me to hug my thigh."

Xia Liu patted Ling Bo on the shoulder and said: "I know you want to rely on your own strength, but the NBA is not as simple as you imagined. Even if Jordan wants to win the championship, he needs Pippen's help. We don't pick teams. Opportunities, we are passive, so the last chance, you can figure it out, there is only so much I can do.”

Ling Bo was very relieved, his heart was warm, in a foreign country, with such a friend, what else could he be dissatisfied with.

Ling Bo didn't rush to agree, but said: "Xia Liu, thank you."

Xia Liu took two steps back, and joked in disgust, "Hey, don't be so nasty."

Ling Bo said, "Alright, pack your things and prepare to go to Cleveland."

On the shore of the vast Lake Erie, Cleveland, the second largest city in Ohio, has witnessed the rise and fall of the United States in the past century.

Cleveland's reputation is not very good, everything stems from their tragic sports history, known as the "city of shame".

Not to mention the football team and baseball team, just say the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the context of Jordan's "The shot" and "The shot2", the Cavaliers need a chosen son to help them regain their light.

At the beginning of the trial training, the newly appointed assistant coach of the Cavaliers, Mark Ososki, conducted a series of basic tests on Limbo. After the lack of experience pointed out by the Spurs last time, Limbo focused on practicing after returning, especially lateral movement On the one hand, as for the jumping aspect, Ling Bo is planning to start the practice of lightness, and the current internal strength is finally enough to support the display of lightness kung fu.

In the basic test, Mark Osorsky gave Ling Bo 60 points, barely passing.

"OK, Ling, please rest for a while, we will arrange players to fight against you later, I wish you good luck."

Ling Bo hugged the basketball and responded with a smile: "Thank you very much."

Xia Liu, as a manager this time, went to the trial training ground with Ling Bo.

"I just read the news that the Cavaliers did not try out other rookies except James, so there is good news and bad news."

Ling Bo said, "I will definitely hear the good news first."

Xia Liu said: "This shows that you are very temperamental. Judging from the current lineup of the Cavaliers, they have too many forward players and very few defenders. At present, their point guard is Ira Newbell. He is just a front swingman with average ball-handling ability. My guess is that James, as a small forward, may also start playing from the guard when he joins the Cavaliers with too many forward players."

Ling Bo said: "This is really good news, I will work hard to get it."

Xia Liu continued: "I said earlier that they didn't invite other players to try out, so I have to tell you the bad news. The Cavaliers will probably arrange a professional player to fight against you. What you have to face is comparable to that of the top players." It's a lot more stressful against Leonard Barbosa this time around."

Each team has its own options and methods for trial training of players. There is no rule that professional players cannot be allowed to play during trial training.

Ling Bo said: It's too difficult, it's too difficult for me.

"Maybe they will arrange backup point guard Kevin Ollie to confront you, this is just my guess, there is another possibility."

Xia Liu intentionally kept suspense and didn't continue. In fact, he was just guessing that he was not sure if there was such a possibility.

"What is possible?"

Xia Liu said: "If James is in the Cavaliers at this time, they may arrange for James to fight against you."

Ling Bo pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Impossible, I will fight against James. Although he is a rookie, he is probably more powerful than some old players."

As soon as the words were finished, Mark Osorsky returned, followed by a tall man of more than 2 meters, with a very strong body, and his dark skin made his muscles look more toned.

Seeing the person coming, Ling Bo felt his face hurt, and he slapped his face as soon as he finished speaking.

Xia Liu patted Ling Bo's shoulder and said, "Brother, I wish you good luck."
