Basketball League of Legends

Chapter 12
After leaving Chicago, Jonny returned to Indiana, where he stayed for another two days, until he received another call from RC Buford, and then bought a plane ticket to fly to San Antonio to participate in the Spurs' trial training.

However, the Spurs' trial training disappointed Jonny, because the Spurs had no draft picks this year, or they had no draft picks at all, so they did not invite any players to San Antonio to participate in the trial training, and even the Chicago United Training Camp , They only sent a scout, that is, RC Buford, and the general manager Gregg Popovich has been staying in San Antonio.

Last season, the Spurs were one of the strongest teams in the league. Under the leadership of head coach Bob Hill, they got the second best record in the Western Conference. These rookies take it too seriously.Until David Robinson was injured later.

And Johnny didn't even find players in the same position as him here. Gregg Popovich and Bob Hill hoped to get some players in other positions, but Johnny still showed his talent in front of the Spurs uniform. Some talents, Popovich finally gave Jonny a promise, they will try their best to trade to get a draft pick to select Jonny.

And Jonny's trial training ended soon, he only got a trial invitation from the Spurs, so he was going to pack up and go home, but at this time, Jimmy Adams called Jonny and asked Jonny to go to Los Angeles look for him.

With some helplessness, Johnny bought a plane ticket at the airport in San Antonio. Looking at his dwindling savings, he felt like crying.

Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, has one of the greatest giants in the NBA, the Lakers, and another football team, the Clippers. On this day, Jonny arrived here, and then dialed as usual Jimmy Adams called, and after a while, Jimmy Adams came to Jonny in a taxi.

"Johnny, you know what, I got you a Lakers workout invite! You know! That's the Lakers!"

Seeing Jimmy Adams' excited look, Jonny curled his lips: "The Lakers, are they that good? Is he as good as the Spurs? I went to the Spurs for trial training before."

"No, no, Johnny, you may not know that the Lakers are one of the greatest giants in the NBA. The only one who can be compared with him is the Celtics. So, you know, although the past few seasons They didn't play very well, but now it's different, if they choose you, plus the rumored O'Neal, the Lakers will rise again!"

For Jimmy Adams' excitement, Johnny certainly didn't understand why, whether it was him in the previous life or in this life, he was a slut who didn't care about the NBA. The difference was that one was a man in the 21st century- -Si, and the other is the male-**-Si in the 20th century.

"Well, Lakers, I want to wish us good luck!" Jonny shrugged helplessly. Anyway, the Spurs are willing to choose him. Just take him to Wake Forest.

The place where Jimmy Adams brought Jonny was not Staples, but the Toyota Center. Don't get me wrong, this Toyota Center is not the arena of later generations of the Rockets. The Rockets' arena has not yet started construction.And this Toyota Center is now the training facility for the Lakers.

Outside the Lakers' training facility, many rookies had already gathered. They lined up one after another, waiting here. There were a total of ten or so people.

Outside the door of the training hall, Jonny saw their opponent in Chicago, Derek Fisher, and if Jonny came later, he would have met the weirdo who had singled him out before, that is, Kobe bryant.

But Jonny found that all the rookies who were queuing up had a note in their hands, which seemed to be an invitation letter to the Chicago rookie joint training camp or something.

"Jimmy, do we have that?" Johnny looked at Jimmy Adams suspiciously.

"Hey, buddy, don't doubt me, I found an acquaintance." Jimmy Adams looked proud.

"Hey, Jeff, we are here!" Then, Jimmy Adams suddenly waved to a middle-aged white man standing at the entrance of the training hall. "This is the acquaintance I'm looking for, and he will stuff you in."

But the white man frowned, walked up to Jonny and Jimmy Adams cautiously, and then whispered to Jimmy Adams, "Jimmy, we'll talk later."

Before he finished speaking, there was a somewhat sinister voice behind the white man: "Why, Jeff, you found another group of players who don't know where they came from? Do you want to get kickbacks?" This is the president of the Lakers. Assistant manager Mitch Kupchak.

"Uh, no, Mr. Mitch." The white scout was called Jeff Coulvin, and Jeff Coulvin hemmed and hawed to explain.

"Could it be that they have an invitation letter? Take it out and have a look?" Mitch Kupchak showed a mocking smile.

"Ugh." Jeff Colvin didn't know how to answer.

"Can't you enter without an invitation letter?" Jonny asked.

"Of course, otherwise some players who don't know where they come from can get in?" Mitch Kupchak said pointedly.

But Johnny's eyes were very sharp, and he saw a person without an invitation letter entering the training hall at once, so he pointed at that person and shouted: "Then what about that guy? Why can he enter without an invitation letter?"

"Haha, someone is questioning you, Kerry!" Several rookies standing aside watching the show laughed.

And the guy pointed at by Jonny turned his head to look at Jonny, and said with disdain: "Boy, are you not convinced? Do you want to fight?" Jonny was about to say yes, but his words were caught by Mickey. Puchek interrupted.

"Okay, Kerry, you go in first." Mitch Kupchak let the black guard who was a little upset with Jonny's words leave first, and Jonny's idea of ​​going single-handedly with the black guard was shattered.

"Boy, you really don't know what to do. Do you know who that guy was? That's Cricketers, Mr. Basketball from Louisiana! What about you? Hey, what a waste of time!"

"Isn't this kind of player not allowed to enter?"

"Of course, otherwise all cats and dogs can come in."

"Is this the so-called rich NBA team?" Johnny was puzzled by the system of the Lakers. In fact, many teams don't have a system like the Lakers. Under certain circumstances, some teams will let players give it a try, no matter how famous they are.

But now, Kupchak simply refused to let Jonny in. This attitude of looking down on people made Jonny feel angry.

Regarding Jonny's rhetorical question, Kupchak just smiled disdainfully, ignored Jonny, turned his head and said to Jeff Colvin, "Jeff, don't bring all the players here next time!" Then He looked at Jonny and Jimmy Adams with disdain again, turned around and left.

Jeff Colvin was a little embarrassed. In fact, he had guaranteed Jimmy Adams before, but now, Kupchak's sudden appearance made Colvin's promise a blank check.

Colvin smiled awkwardly, and said to Jonny and Jimmy Adams: "Wait a minute, I will treat you to dinner in a few minutes."

Originally, Jimmy Adams was going to turn his head and leave with Jonny, but after hearing what Colvin said, he decided to wait a little longer. After all, they would also feel baffled when they were laughed at by an inexplicable person, so they had to figure out what was going on. thing.

Soon, a dozen or so rookies entered the training hall, and Jonny could only watch from outside the door. Jeff Colvin, who had finished his work, heaved a sigh of relief, packed up his things, and greeted Jonny and Jimmy Adams. car.

"Jimmy, I'm really sorry today." As soon as they got in the car, Jeff Colvin began to apologize, which made Jimmy Adams and Jonny want to figure out what was going on.

"What's going on?" Jimmy Adams asked immediately.

"Oh, it's like this." Jeff Colvin quickly explained. It turned out that Jeff Colvin was a low-level scout in the league. One of the scouts in charge of the draft, and this Kupchak is the assistant general manager of the Lakers. Some time ago, for some reason, he had a feud with Jeff Colvin, and this happened today.

Jonny and Jimmy Adams could only smile wryly. Originally, Kupchak would not appear at the entrance of the training hall, but he did. It should be said that Jonny and Jimmy Adams were a bit unlucky.But things are already like this, and in addition, Jonny has already got the Spurs' draft commitment, and he is not too cold about the Lakers, so he didn't think too much.

It's just that the feud with the Lakers has been settled.
