NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 8 Trial Training Success, Negotiation

Indianapolis.

Bankers Life Arena.

The communication on the sidelines obviously can't affect Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang doesn't relax in the slightest now. The mid-range shot is still a mid-range shot. From all angles, emergency stop jumpers, pull-up jumpers, except for the turn-around jumper, the other hit rates are scary.Without defense, Xu Xiang finally made 50 mid-range shots and hit 42 of them, with a hit rate of 84%. Of course, this is without defense.

The mid-range shot is over, and the following is a three-pointer. Xu Xiang has maintained his CBA level. Although he does not have the blessing of medicine, his three-for-five and four-for-five hit rate still makes the few people on the sidelines nod frequently.Breaking through and turning, Xu Xiang didn't lose his level, basically the same as yesterday.

At this moment, Frank, the head coach on the sidelines, stopped, walked up to Xu Xiang, patted Xu Xiang on the shoulder and said, "Hello, boy, my name is Frank Vogel, and you can call me Frank. Next, I will arrange a confrontational ability test for you, and perform well."Xu Xiang nodded flattered, no matter when you have a good relationship with the head coach, it is right, unless you are James, then the coach has to listen to you.

Soon, a person similar to a trainer came from the sidelines, one-on-one.

At the beginning, Xu Xiang held the ball. Outside the three-point line, the black trainer was about the same height as Xu Xiang, and he stuck to Xu Xiang tightly, with his hands open, and his movements were not very big.Xu Xiang dribbled the ball slowly, the opposite position was too tight, Xu Xiang had no room to shoot at all.Suddenly, Xu Xiang turned around and took a step to the left, his center of gravity shifted accordingly, and he shot a three-pointer with a "bang", hitting the iron, the opponent's defense was too good.The second time, Xu Xiang continued to hold the ball. The black trainer still used the same method, but Xu Xiang didn't make a three-pointer this time. However, relying on his strength, he pushed him step by step to a place not far from the free throw line.The few people off the court were very satisfied after watching this ball. This kind of ball is completely based on personal ability, and there is no fake thing.

Next, the black trainer no longer used this oppressive defense, but focused on his shots.But this kind of defense obviously can't put any pressure on Xu Xiang. What Xu Xiang is afraid of is that there is no shooting space. Compared with others, Xu Xiang's stability is very high. As long as he has a chance to shoot, his shooting rate will obviously not drop a lot because of his interference.Mid-range shots, or pull-up three-pointers, various scoring methods. In the end, according to statistics, Xu Xiang made a total of 14 mid-range shots and hit 9 goals, with a hit rate of more than 64%.Very impressive performance.

After the end, Xu Xiang came to the sidelines, Kevin and Frank were all joyful.According to Xu Xiang's current state, I dare not say that he will enter the top ten in the draft, but there is hope for the top twenty, at least he can be selected in the first round, but...

Kevin and Frank looked at each other, both revealing the kind of surprise after picking up the leak. They were secretly glad that he didn't have such a brilliant performance in yesterday's trial training, otherwise there would be something wrong with the Pacers, who would have been selected by other teams.But they didn't know that Xu Xiang would cheat...

In the office, Pacers general manager Kevin was discussing with head coach Frank in a low voice. This year's draft will be held in Brooklyn, New York, USA on June 6.Today is June 26, and it’s been a few days. First of all, today’s trial training video must not be released. This must be strictly warned. Secondly, we must communicate with Xu Xiang. After all, he is a Chinese player, and all aspects involved in it must be understood in advance.Soon, they stopped arguing and walked out together.

Xu Xiang and Mike sat in the reception room outside, anxiously waiting for the final result.The draft is about to start, and so far no team is willing to make a promise to Xu Xiang.It is impossible to say that there is no rush, because today is already June 6.There are only less than 22 days before the draft.

Seeing Kevin and Frank coming out hand in hand, Xu Xiang quickly stood up from the chair. Kevin smiled and said to Xu Xiang, "Xu, do you have an agent? I want to talk to you about the draft." Hearing this, Xu Xiang suddenly became embarrassed. Where is the agent?I can't get enough to eat, so where can I hire a manager?Xu Xiang smiled wryly and shook his head.

Kevin didn't show any surprise, probably knowing Xu Xiang's current situation. "Then I'll talk to you directly, but if it's signing a contract, an agent needs to be present." Kevin smiled and said.At this time, Frank who was next to him suddenly interjected, "Xu, you should pay attention to the agent's affairs. Finding a bad agent will make you miserable." Xu Xiang listened and nodded cautiously. There are many stars in the NBA because of the agent.There is a good example, the United Arab Emirates is in this situation because of the wrong positioning given to him by the agent.

Xu Xiang thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head to Mike next to him, "Mike, didn't you say that you are also a manager? Can I hire you? Let me tell you first, I have no money now, and I have to wait until I sign a contract to get paid." After finishing speaking, Xu Xiang stared at Mike with piercing eyes.

I saw Mike frowning, and it took a long time before he reluctantly said, "Unless you listen to me in the future, don't go looking for that kind of person in the hotel last night. I promise you that if you have this hobby, you are destined to not go far, and I will not help a person who is destined not to go far." After speaking, he looked at Xu Xiang suspiciously, as if Xu Xiang could not agree to this condition at all.

Xu Xiang had a black line on his forehead, why did he think about it, it turned out that he had been thinking about this matter, and he really didn't know what to say.Just when Xu Xiang wanted to go back to him, Frank next to him also frowned and looked at Xu Xiang and said, "Xu, you should go to that kind of place less, I don't want to have such a person in my subordinates in the future." Xu Xiang was completely speechless after hearing this, can you listen to my explanation?Don't judge me so early, okay?

It took a long time for Frank and Mike to half-believe this matter.Sit down, before Kevin could speak, Mike first said, "Kevin, now I'm talking to you as Xu's agent, I don't know what you plan to choose for Xu?" Then without waiting for Kevin to answer, he said, "I know you only have the No. 57 pick in the second round this year. To be honest, this pick is a bit unsuitable for Xu now."

Kevin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Mike, you entered the role too quickly, I almost couldn't get used to it."

"Kevin, according to Xu's current state, if other teams find out, I guess it will be at least the top [-] in the first round, and the first round at the very least. If it is the second round, it will be too detrimental to Xu's development. I believe you understand this." Mike didn't give the slightest chance, and the continuous words came out of his mouth.

"Mike, everyone knows the basics. Now our team can't come up with a first-round pick, but we are the only team that gives Xu a chance. You can also ask Xu if he would like to be in Indiana or the Pacers. Anyway, we are also the first to discover Xu's ability."

Kevin said earnestly.Mike heard the words and looked at Xu Xiang next to him. Xu Xiang nodded to him after thinking about it. No matter what others are like, at least Xu Xiang believes that people should be grateful. The Pacers gave him a chance. If nothing else, Xu Xiang is still willing to reciprocate.
