Chapter 686 DeAndre Jordan (Part [-])
"Hey, Bruce, those first-round picks are all in the opposite field, and this field is full of second-round players~!!"

On the second day of the Chicago joint trial training, it has reached the final free training session.

The chief scout spoke to Lan Shengli.

"You guys go over there, I'm here, I can take a look~!!, get to know as many players as possible~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

The reason why Lan Shengli said this was because the field he wanted to see had his favorite player - Ibaka.

The player Ibaka is facing is Jordan Jr.

The game starts soon.

After all, as the most capable player in their team, Ibaka naturally has a lot of possessions.

Ibaka holds the ball and faces Jordan, trying to pass the opponent with speed and flexibility.

As he said that, he dribbled the ball with his right hand, lowered his center of gravity, and made a screen with his left hand, making a breakthrough like a defender.

"This action is fine~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli said excitedly.

Here, Ibaka was already half a body ahead of Jordan when he spoke. Seeing this, Ibaka immediately slowed down and took off, supporting Jordan with his left hand, and threw the ball with his right hand like a hook.

But Jordan is not a vegetarian either.

Although he was held up by Ibaka and couldn't defend close to him, Jordan still made a blocking action by virtue of the huge defensive area brought by his super long wingspan.

"Crack~!!!"

Jordan just slapped the rising ball towards the free throw line with one hand.

Jordan completed a solid, clean block.

"Oh~!! Didn't expect this guy to be so good~?!"

Lan Shengli was immediately amazed by Jordan's block.

"This defense is at the NBA level~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to marvel, looking at Little Jordan.

From that moment on, Lan Shengli's attention shifted from Ibaka to Jordan.

After coming to the frontcourt, Jordan was also very diligent in the pick-and-roll, because of his huge body, the guard passed the opponent very easily.

"With such a body, it is the best proof of the pick-and-roll quality~~"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"What the hell is this guy doing~?!"

Lan Shengli was puzzled, and flipped through the information booklet.

And it was from that block that Lan Shengli gradually stopped focusing on Ibaka alone.

Although facing Jordan's defense, Ibaka can use the cooperation with his teammates to hit some mid-range shots, but at a position closer to the basket, Ibaka has nothing to do with Jordan.

"DeAndre Jordan, excellent wingspan and height, as well as top-level physical fitness, it's a pity that this guy's skills are too rough~"

Lan Shengli looked at the information, then at Jordan on the court, and sighed.

In contrast, Ibaka's offensive and defensive ends are more balanced. He can shoot from the outside to mid-range, and he can also make strong kills from the inside.

There was even a fake shot when facing Jordan's defense, and the latter was immediately fooled and killed towards the inside~
"Duang~!!!"

Then complete a two-handed dunk.

Although he was blocked once by Jordan in the opening stage and lost face, Ibaka still suppressed Jordan in all directions.

"If you can choose Ibaka, choose it without hesitation~!"

Lan Shengli thought for a while and said.

But Jordan also showed himself, especially on the defensive end.

In this 30-minute game, Jordan played nearly 25 minutes. Although he only scored 4 points, he grabbed 9 rebounds and sent 3 blocks, fully displaying his pure blue-collar characteristics.

And Ibaka scored 15 points and 7 rebounds.

"If you choose from the perspective of an excellent role player, Jordan does have a good chance to develop in that direction. If the team fails to select Ibaka, this Jordan is also a good choice~!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

After that, Lan Shengli checked a lot of Jordan's game videos, and he became more and more fond of this player.

"He really has a lot of room for improvement. Maybe he will never be able to practice shooting on the offensive end, but if he can achieve the ultimate on the defensive end, like Mutombo, then this second-round pick will make a lot of money. Ah~!!"

Lan Shengli thought.

The next thing was that the Supersonics cut off Ibaka, making Lan Shengli more determined to choose Jordan.

"Is this little Jordan really good~?! Although it's only a second-round pick, I think it's better to be more cautious~!"

After Lan Shengli handed the general manager information about Jordan, the general manager asked.

"I think the value of a second-round pick may be almost negligible if used step by step, but if you treat him as a lottery ticket, it's completely different. The second-round pick wants to make him play the same as the first-round pick. Therefore, you have to take a big gamble, and the risk of choosing Jordan is very low~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"And Jr. Jordan has the best ability and potential among the remaining inside players~!! Besides, I think his style of play matches Brand very well~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

Hearing Lan Shengli's explanation, the general manager also acquiesced.

So, in the end, the Los Angeles Clippers used the fifth pick in the second round to win Jordan.

With Chris Kaman's contract about to expire, and in the context of the Clippers' reconstruction, it seems that Jordan will have a lot of room to play next season.

"I hope you can become the player I imagined~!!"

Lan Shengli looked at Jordan who was shaking hands with Stern, and sighed.

"Congratulations, DeAndre Jordan, who is about to become a member of the Clippers, do you have anything to say to the fans who just cheered for you~?!"

After Jordan stepped down here, he quickly accepted interviews.

"It is my honor to be selected by the Clippers. I am grateful for the opportunity to join the Clippers. I thank the Clippers management for giving me such an opportunity. I also thank the fans for their love. Thank them~ !!"

Little Jordan looked calm, and replied quickly.

If Jordan knows the reasons and consequences of being selected in the future, he will definitely thank Lan Shengli.

"What are your expectations for the new season~?! What is the goal~?!"

The host continued to ask.

"I hope to be able to show my energy in every away game at Staples. Anyone who knows my playing style knows that I am a player full of passion and desperation. Texas, I’m going to bring it to California, to Los Angeles~!!!”

Little Jordan was still fast, answering with an excited expression.

It can be heard that Jordan is satisfied with being selected by the Clippers.
