Chapter 19 18 [Joint Trial Training for Rookies]

18 Rookie Combined Tryouts
After leaving the Toyota Center, Li Hao and the others rushed directly to the airport. They didn't even have time to leave the hotel. They had to hurry to Chicago.

Within two days, Li Hao can not go to any team for trial training, but this does not mean that he will not participate in the rookie joint trial training at the Chicago United Center.

"Brother Jun, contact the Rockets, Spurs, Magic and Nets, and say that we will have a trial training at the United Center tomorrow afternoon. If they are interested, they can see my trial training there."

On the way to the airport, Li Hao said.

.........

"Mitch, we have to find a way to get Lee, as you can see, he is so talented, if we don't get him in the end, it will definitely be a big loss"

After Li Hao and the others left, in the conference room on the second floor of the Toyota Center, Laughlin said to Kupchak emotionally.

"Bonnie, you are right. Letting Li go is definitely a stupid thing at the moment, so what we need to do now is to keep him, but it is really difficult, especially for Phil Side" Kupchak shook his head helplessly.

Kupchak recalled the scene of his phone call with Phil Jackson a few days ago, "Mitch, I am in Italy now, and I will return to Los Angeles from vacation in a week. I think it is time for us to have a big fight. We Gary (Payton) and Karl (Mallon) must be settled as soon as possible. In addition, I have already identified candidates for this year's two draft picks. They are two good insiders. Maybe they will become Shaq's pressure reducer."

Kupchak heard the high fighting spirit from Phil Jackson's words, but at the same time, he also heard the absolute stubbornness, just like his unswerving implementation of his "triangular tactics".

If he told Phil Jackson at this time, "Phil, I have my eye on a Chinese defender", Kupchak believed that Phil Jackson would definitely be furious, and he would tell Kupchak very angrily, "Listen, I don't need any so-called Chinese geniuses. You have completely disrupted my lineup and my formation"

How dare a head coach yell at the general manager?Kupchak determined that it's no surprise that this happened with the current Los Angeles Lakers.

Because Phil Jackson is not only a famous NBA champion coach, but now he is also the "prospective son-in-law" of the team owner Old Buss.

Besides, even if he ignores Phil Jackson's anger and forcibly gets Li Hao, maybe Phil Jackson has nothing to say, but he is the head coach, if he doesn't give Li Hao a chance at that time, then everything will be meaningless .

"Phil's side is indeed a problem, that guy is very stubborn, but we can start with Jim (Bass) first, as long as we can convince Jim, then we can convince Phil together." Laughlin gave himself way.

"Jim?" Kupchak looked at Laughlin in surprise.

"That's right, it's Jim. For Jim, what he needs most now is grades. Jerry admires him very much, but he also has to show some achievements. Li's ability or the Chinese market behind him will definitely let him Jim became interested"

Laughlin has thought about it for the past few days. She knew from the beginning that it would not be easy for the management to choose Li Hao, so she made a plan.

To be precise, it is a logical and meticulous persuasion plan.The first step of the plan is to deal with the biggest BOss, Jerry Buss. With the support of Jerry Buss, she can start the next plan.

The second step is Kupchak. Kupchak has a good relationship with team vice president Jim Buss.

Laughlin also knows that Phil Jackson will have a hard time, so she hopes to get the support of both Kupchak and Jim Buss.

In this way, she can hope to complete her plan.

Now it looks like everything is going according to her plan.

"Okay, it just so happens that Jim asked me to watch a tape of NCAA players tonight"

Kupchak got up to tidy up and left.

…………

The next afternoon, at the Chicago United Center, when Li Hao and his group appeared here, a group of rookies who had come to try out had already gathered in the center of the arena.

Yao Zhijun and Gu Zhengwen were in charge of going through the trial training procedures, while Li Hao walked slowly into the crowd, paying attention to the rookies who were undergoing trial training.

"Ok?"

Two minutes later, Li Hao frowned as he stared at a black rookie on the field.

This black rookie is about 190cm tall, has a strong body, and his face looks more handsome among blacks.

It is not surprising that the black man has a strong body and excellent athletic ability. What really makes Li Hao strange is his speed.

Especially breaking through the first step is very fast. Li Hao has always been very confident in his first step, but at this time he is no longer so confident. Facing this black rookie, Li Hao feels that he is very likely to break through the first step. One step speed lost to him.

"Who is he?" Li Hao had a question in his heart. It was the first time that Li Hao was so interested in a player of his age.

"Hey, Lee, are you coming to the joint tryout too?"

Just when Li Hao was frowning and thinking, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and greeted him, of course, in English.

"Kyle, it's you."

Li Hao turned around and saw that this was the Kyle Korver he met in the adides training camp.

He and Kyle Korver don't even know each other. When they were in the adides training camp before, the two of them were the best among them. Strong dialogue.

It's just that for Korver, his luck and strength were slightly worse, and Li Hao finally took away the MVP.

Li Hao suddenly remembered that Korver seemed to be participating in this year's NBA draft, so it's not surprising that he appeared here.

"Kyle, how are you, you seem to be in a good mood"

Li Hao could tell that Korver was smiling at this moment, which was completely opposite to the confused expressions on the faces of most rookies on the court.

"Lee, you know, this year is my last chance to enter the NBA, so I was very worried before that, but just now, I got a promise from a team that they will select me in the draft, of course Excuse me, I can't say which team it is, so I'm in a very good mood now, and I can't wait to have a drink right away."

Li Hao looked at Korver's expression that became more and more excited as he talked, and was really happy for him from the bottom of his heart. He could understand Korver's mood at the moment.

Li Hao didn't have the opportunity to take the devil's college entrance examination in China, but he knew very well that for these young players who want to join the NBA, the pressure they bear before officially joining the NBA is far more than that of China's devil's college entrance examination.
