Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 101 Thank You, Downs
The bargaining chip Yuan Qingshan has heard, in order to get Towns, the Lakers almost sold half of the team.

Is the current Lakers really capable of crossing the two barriers of the Rockets and the Warriors?
It's hard to say whether they can make it to the playoffs.

In fact, the Lakers insisted on replacing Towns, probably because of his potential, and it may not be the first year to achieve results.

TA Quincy is not too optimistic.

In fact, the strength shown by the Warriors in the finals surprised everyone, and a spot in the Western Conference Finals in the next few years has been firmly locked.

Everyone knows that the Warriors are getting stronger, but they didn't expect to have reached this level.

On June 6, in Game 5 of the finals, Irving was injured and retired, and the Cavaliers encountered a thunderbolt.

Love was broken by Olynik, and Irving was reimbursed again. The Cavaliers, who were full of ambitions at the beginning of the game, now have only LeBron left, basically declaring a death sentence.

Before the start of the second game of the finals, the Lakers finalized the trial training time with Towns and Yuan Qingshan.

On the day of the workout, a circle of reporters gathered outside the Staples Arena early in the day, and everyone wanted to take more photos of Towns coming to the Lakers.

It is no secret that the Lakers are going to trade up to pick Towns with the No. [-] pick. Towns' Zijin career should be counted from the first contact today, so the media are very sensitive, waiting to witness this moment.

The bus was slowly approaching, and an assistant coach of the Lakers greeted it. The first one to get off was Coach John from the University of Kentucky.

Coach John really had nothing to say to Downs and Yuan Qingshan. He even had to personally accompany them in the trial training, and the flashing lights kept on.

In front of the TV, I don’t know how many children regard joining Kentucky and playing under Coach John as their dreams.

Downs was the second to get out of the car. All the cameras of the media were activated, and the click of the shutter burst out.

Downs was a little overwhelmed, and Coach John beckoned him to walk over quickly.

The third one to get off was Yuan Qingshan, and when it was his turn, only a few cameras were left waiting for him, and everyone else followed Downs.

Yuan Qingshan clenched his fist silently, sooner or later, I will take your sight away!

At the beginning of the trial training, it was strange that neither the owner nor the general manager of the Lakers showed up, and only a few assistant coaches and trainers were arranged to accompany them.

The content of the physical test is very simple. For a big favorite like Towns, the information has long been memorized by the teams, so the physical test is carried out very quickly.

Yuan Qingshan's physical test was even faster, and the trainer in charge of him seemed to be fooling around, memorizing a few things casually and surrounded Downs.

Coach John pulled an older assistant coach to strongly recommend Yuan Qingshan, but the other party seemed not interested, and finally left after whispering a few words with Coach John.

This trial training made Yuan Qingshan very unhappy, and no one on the Lakers team took him seriously.

The trial training was over in only 10 minutes. There was no equipment, no confrontation, just measuring basic data such as height, wingspan, etc., and the trial training was completed.

Coach John signaled that he could leave, and Yuan Qingshan and Downs were stunned.

This is the NBA tryout?Why are you so sloppy.

Coach John said that the Lakers are determined to choose Towns, and today is just a formality, and the two sides just show their willingness to cooperate.

Downs hurriedly asked: "What about the hill? So the hill is stable?"

Coach John nodded, Tang Si was overjoyed, and Yuan Qingshan noticed the fleeting strange look in the coach's eyes.

The bus started and was about to leave when two people suddenly appeared in front of it.

Jenny Buss and Laughlin!

Coach John hurriedly took Downs and Yuan Qingshan out of the car.

Laughlin formally introduced several people, and Coach John wondered, isn't Jim Buss the owner of the Lakers?He didn't show up today, but why did Jenny Buss show up? What the hell are these siblings doing?

Jenny just said some scene words, and praised both Downs and Yuan Qingshan.

The most different thing about her from the rest of the Lakers is that she doesn't have any intention of belittling Yuan Qingshan, and puts him in the same important position as Towns.

This made Yuan Qingshan very comfortable, and Towns was also very happy to see that his best friend was valued by the Lakers.

Jenny's final appearance allowed this trial training trip to end in a relatively harmonious and harmonious ending.

Of course, she also won the hearts of Yuan Qingshan and Tang Si to a certain extent.

And his younger brother, the boss Jim Buss who was supposed to appear, was having a party in his mansion at this time. He felt that Downs was already in his pocket, and he was just a pawn to get his grades and make money. The boss and the players had an affiliation relationship, so there was no need to be too nervous.

Wasting a good party time meeting two college students?What a joke!
In front of the Staples gate, the reporters quickly surrounded Jenny after she appeared, and seized the opportunity to take a group photo of Downs and Jenny.

The media did not expect that Jim Buss did not show up today. It seems that the photo of Jenny and Downs will be used in tomorrow's headlines.

What a smile Jenny and Downs had!
The bus drove away, but Jenny stayed on, patiently answering the reporter's questions, as if she was the owner of the Lakers, and she was the one who gave Towns a chance to wear the purple and gold jersey.

In the viewfinder, Jenny's smiling face is indeed like a spring breeze.

The next day, various media reported the champion's first contact with the team at the same time. It must be the headline on the front page, using a photo of Jenny hugging Downs and Yuan Qingshan at the same time.

Crazy, little Buzz went crazy, held the paper over his head and tore it up.

"Jenny is such a scumbag, she actually ran to steal my limelight. I was the one who stole Towns for the Lakers! It was me! It was me!"

Kupchak shook his head helplessly. He persuaded him so much yesterday that the boss didn't even want to go to the arena to meet Towns.

Self-inflicted can't live!
However, the young models who came to visit unexpectedly yesterday and held back the boss, I seem to have seen them before, they seem to be Laughlin's people!
Could it be that all of this is Jenny's deliberate arrangement?

The more Kupchak thought about it, the more fearful he became. Maybe Jim Buss would be chewed to the bone by Jenny without waiting until 2017.

It's a pity that I'm already tightly tied to Jim, and Jenny won't give me a way out by then.

Alas, I have to choose my next home.

Jim Buss was still throwing a tantrum and smashing another bottle of '82 Lafite.

Kupchak sighed.

……

Downs fell asleep on the way back, and Yuan Qingshan asked the coach in a low voice if he could join the Lakers.

Coach John nodded affirmatively. He assured Yuan Qingshan that this matter would definitely be successful, and advised him not to worry unnecessarily. The most urgent thing at the moment is to train well and improve to the strength of NBA rotation players as soon as possible.

Yuan Qingshan could see that Coach John was obviously talking about him.

"I can go in, is it because of Downs?" Yuan Qingshan interrupted the coach and asked straightforwardly.

Coach John was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a pause for half a minute, he said quietly: "Qingshan, don't waste Downs' hard work, train hard, and be his good helper in the future."

Yuan Qingshan turned around and glanced at Tang Si's sleeping face, the saliva was already dripping down his collar.

Thank you, Downs!
