All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 71 Things about that year’s draft

When Kobe Bryant and his agent Tellem arrived in Los Angeles, the young black mamba was not in a hurry to see the "City of Angels"...

I saw him swallowing and opening a lunch box.

"Hiccup~!"

After quickly consuming the sandwich Su Feng had prepared for him, Kobe felt that his whole body was instantly filled with energy.

"I'm ready." Kobe said looking at his agent Tellem.

At this moment, the black mamba's eyes revealed a murderous look.

According to the next schedule, Kobe will first participate in a trial training with the Clippers, and then participate in a trial training with the Lakers.

After arriving in Los Angeles for a day of rest, Kobe's tryout with the Clippers went very smoothly, and his outstanding performance even stunned the Clippers staff at the scene.

only......

In Su Feng's previous life, many people suspected that Baylor was an undercover agent sent by the Lakers to the Clippers.

Um......

There is one thing to say, don’t talk about this kind of conspiracy theory, there are really defensible arguments for it.

Because after Kobe's workout, the Clippers' front office told him: "In our opinion, your workout performance was the best among all players."

After hearing that his performance was praised, Kobe immediately asked, "Then will you choose me?"

"No, we're not picking you because we need immediate strength to turn around a bad record.

If we picked a 17-year-old boy, people in Los Angeles would think we were a joke, so we can't pick you. "

I have to say that the answer from the Clippers uniform staff was really quick.

Don't ask why the Clippers' operations are so magical.

Because in the future, the Clippers will use more practical actions to prove what is called "operations that even Yun fans can't pull off."

In the past life, many basketball fans liked to use "You can do it, you can do it" to communicate with each other.

But Hong Kong may not be able to do anything else, but as the Clippers uniform team during this period, you keyboard warriors don't underestimate yourself.

Kobe's young mind suffered a critical blow of 100 million points in an instant...

Even when he walked out of the training hall, he looked at his agent Tellem aggrievedly and asked: "Am I really bad?"

Seeing Kobe in a depressed mood, Tellem touched his head and comforted him: "No, believe me, you are the best high school student in the United States."

Next, Kobe, who had regained his mentality, went to another team in Los Angeles two days later——

Lakers.

Regarding the history of the Lakers, we will not mention it later, because one person can't wait to meet Kobe.

What was different from the various trial training sessions with the Clippers was that after reading Kobe's physical test data, Jerry West directly asked Kobe to have a PK with University of Mississippi star Donta Jones.

As a result, after Kobe beat Jones to ashes, West, in his excitement, increased the difficulty for Kobe.

One of the members of the Lakers coaching staff and former NBA player Larry Drew came on the court.

However, this former NBA player is still no match for Kobe.

The Lakers' front office staff could feel West's excitement almost from half to half.

So, Lakers legend Michael Cooper, the 1987 NBA Defensive Player of the Year and now a member of the Lakers front office, took up the fight.

Although Cooper had retired for six years at this time, in the eyes of the Lakers staff, West was bullying Kobe too much.

After all, how could a high school student...

You can really win like this!

After Kobe defeated Cooper, West told his assistant: "Don't look anymore, I can confirm that this kid is the best player in this class."

Then, West walked up to Kobe's agent Tellem and said, "We will do everything we can to get him."

Tellem was a little confused, but when he wanted to continue questioning West, West had already left his side.

In Tellem's view, this may just be a compliment from West to Kobe.

After all, the Lakers during this period were full of talents on the forward and defensive lines. In addition to All-Star Ceballos, they also had players like Eddie Jones.

At this time, the Lakers are on the road to recovery, and no bargaining chip is redundant.

And just when Tellem was wondering whether to tell Kobe the news, West had already walked up to Kobe on the court.

"How's it going? How does it feel to play against NBA-level players?"

After defeating Cooper, Kobe was feeling proud. After listening to West's question, Kobe thought about it and replied: "I think Su's defense is better than him."

"oh?"

In fact, West didn't take Kobe's words too seriously...

But out of the confidence to protect young players, West still waited patiently for Kobe's next answer.

"Although Su's defensive skills are not as good as his, if it were Su, he would definitely fight with me until the last minute." Kobe replied.

West smiled, and his spring-like smile left a deep impression on the young Kobe.

And perhaps because West is too approachable, Kobe actually forgot that at this moment, standing in front of him——

But the Lakers' team history is legendary, and now the Lakers' well-deserved leader, the NBA's LOGO, is Jerry West.

"Sir, may I ask, if the Lakers choose me, what do you need me to do?" Kobe mustered up the courage to continue talking to West.

"Why do you ask this question?" West asked curiously.

"Because many people think that I am just a high school student, and after entering the NBA, I should change my current style of play..." Kobe replied.

"No, I don't need you to make any changes, remember kid, I just need you to be yourself." West patted Kobe on the shoulder and said.

Just like that, Kobe's trip to Los Angeles ended.

Next, he will also participate in trials with teams such as the Bulls and Celtics.

In Los Angeles, the LOGO man's plan began.

Looking at the scout Martin who came to report to him, West asked: "What do you think of Kobe?"

"I think Kobe may be better than we thought, especially in his senior year, his organizational skills..."

West did not let Martin finish his words and interrupted him directly, "Don't be fooled by the data."

“His organizational skills are still very immature.

However, his desire to pass the ball makes me think that he will grow into a star player who is both offensive and defensive and difficult to defend. " West said.

"But boss, with Kobe's current pick, I'm worried about us..." Martin said, looking at West with a worried look.

"I know, cancel the previous plan.

After the draft picks come out, let's see which team is short of insiders. " West said.

"But boss, if you are optimistic about Kobe, then he will go to the Celtics next..."

Martin's implication is that the Celtics are not the Clippers. Since you can be optimistic about Kobe, then the Celtics will naturally be optimistic about Kobe.

“Let me think about it, that’s a bit of a headache.

After all, Arnold (Auerbach) is not Elgin (Baylor). "West rubbed his forehead.

"Who are the other outstanding outside players who have announced their candidacy this time?" West asked.

“Connecticut’s Ray Allen is currently recognized as the strongest shooting guard in the NCAA;

Villanova's Kelly Kittles is now considered the second-ranked shooting guard in this class;

There is also Kentucky’s Antoine Walker, an all-around power forward who is 206 centimeters tall..."

Martin looked at the information he had compiled before and reported the report.

"Then let it out and say we will do whatever it takes to get Kentucky's Antoine Walker!

Also, tell the media, just say it was me, Walker, in my opinion, will be the successor to Magic! West said, patting Martin on the shoulder.

"Then you can help me compile a list of teams that are likely to get the three picks from No. 8 to No. 10."

"I understand, boss!"

In Phoenix, at the end of Kobe's trip to Los Angeles, Su Feng was happily and happily enjoying the cake feed from Steve Nash.

Originally, Su Feng had recently learned a lot of low post and back attacking skills with Fraser's help.

Because being "unlucky when dribbling" doesn't mean that you don't have the ability to attack in singles.

And you also have to see who Su Feng is competing with as the "defeat in dribbling."

only......

In this trial training in Phoenix City, Nash didn't give Su Feng a chance to show off his skills in singles.

Don't ask, asking means feeding him cakes until he vomits.

With the combined efforts of this pair of rookies from the class of 1996, the Suns' water cooler managers were penetrated.

There is no way, in this era of beating the main players to death, the strength gap between the main players and the substitutes is already huge.

What's more, Su Feng and Nash's opponents are just a few fringe players from the Suns?

Especially in order to balance the gap between newcomers and NBA players, the Suns uniform team also let AC Green and Elliott Perry, two key substitutes, join Su Feng's rookie team?

In the 20-minute five-on-five game, Su Feng scored 22 points, while Nash scored 6 points and 9 assists. Both performances were highly praised by the Suns uniform staff.

Because both Su Feng and Nash's agents are Bill Duffy, so when they met at the training camp today, the two started chatting as soon as they met.

It is also worth mentioning that during the morning physical test, Su Feng also lent Nash his socks and insoles, allowing Nash to successfully reach 191 centimeters in height.

And this "socks and insoles" diplomatic incident has caused the relationship between the two to heat up rapidly.

Nash was envious of Su Feng's muscles, while Su Feng was envious of Nash's incredible speed and his dribbling skills that could never slip away.

"Steve, tell me honestly, what is your actual height?" Su Feng looked at Nash curiously and asked.

"1...190 centimeters!" Nash blushed and replied.

"If you continue to lie to me like this, then this friend will have nothing to do." Su Feng looked at Nash and said with an expression of "Just continue my lie."

"1...188 centimeters!" Nash's tone was much firmer this time, but Su Feng was still shaking his head.

"Okay, 186 centimeters, I just measured it last week." Nash replied weakly.

really......

The height of NBA players and the weight of actresses are all deceptive.

In his previous life, Su Feng had seen an interesting photo, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net. That was Nash standing upright and Curry, who was leaning forward and bending over.

If Nash is really 191 centimeters tall, then Curry is a giant of 198 centimeters.

But having said that, Nash's defense was actually worse than Su Feng imagined.

During the physical examination, Nash only weighed 73 kilograms, and his little arms and legs were almost gone.

But one thing is that it was precisely because Nash couldn't guard him that Su Feng had a strong presence on both offense and defense in this trial.

Even the Suns front office is beginning to wonder if some media outlets are doing it for the sake of being black.

Because based on Su Feng's performance in the trial training, there is actually a saying that he is the worst prospect in the second round?

“He can definitely be a first-round pick in this class!

It's just... Steve and Sue, if only we could have an extra first-round pick. "The Suns uniform team said with emotion.

At this time of the 1995/96 season, Kidd was still a Cowboy in Dallas. Now the Suns are in need of a point guard, and this is also a major reason why Nash was selected by the Suns in the previous life.

Currently, the Suns already have Michael Finley. In fact, they are not in urgent need of forwards and guards.

But here comes the problem...

Su Feng's trial performance was really good.

With Nash's assists on both offense and defense, the Suns uniform staff saw Su Feng's strengths.

So, the Suns uniform team was confused...
