NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

"Hello, sister Chunlin, how are you? Is there an invitation from the team for a trial training?" Zhang Jinshui asked directly.

"I took the initiative to chat with the assistant coaches and scouts of several teams in the morning. Sorry, there is no progress yet." Zi Chunlin shook his head with an apologetic expression on his face.

"Don't be sorry, it's not your problem." Zhang Jinshui smiled and said, "I know how poorly I have performed in the joint trial training these days. I am already very grateful to you for the trial quota."

"Jin Shui, you and I are very clear that your real strength is more than that. You don't have to be too pessimistic. Tom, the assistant coach of the New York Knicks, asked me out for a drink at night. I agreed, and maybe I can help you win a Knick. A chance to try out."

"Forget it, it's obvious that Tom is far more interested in you than me." Zhang Jinshui laughed at himself.

Zi Chunlin wanted to say more, but Zhang Jinshui solemnly said: "Since you are my temporary agent, I will now officially inform you that even if the Knicks really invite me to participate in their team trial training in the future, I will definitely refuse. of.

So, you don't have to talk to that Tom.

What's more, there will be a group confrontation match this afternoon, which is the highlight of the joint trial training. What if I regain my strength in the afternoon and kill the Quartet? "

At the end, Zhang Jinshui couldn't help but winked at Zi Chunlin playfully. With one purple, one silver and two three-point badges beside him, he was full of confidence in his performance in the afternoon match.

At this moment, several young black players walked past Zhang Jinshui and Zi Chunlin.

They chatted loudly in English as they walked, looked at Zhang Jinshui with disdainful eyes from time to time, and when the conversation got heated, they fist bumped each other and laughed unscrupulously.

Zi Chunlin's expression became unnatural, and she tried to remain calm, hoping Zhang Jinshui didn't see anything unusual.

However, Zhang Jinshui majored in business English before crossing the university, and worked in the foreign trade industry for two years. Most of the people he dealt with were traders from the beautiful country.

He listened intently, barely able to understand the chat content of those black players.

"Why is this Huaguo boy still here? He wouldn't naively think that he can get the favor of those NBA scouts by showing a hard training attitude?"

"I have been secretly watching him for the past two days. His shooting percentage is low, his dribbling is poor, his body is not good enough, and a point guard of this level doesn't even have a chance to sit on the bench in our school team. I understand why the league invited him to try out."

"It's not because of his identity as a native of China. Ever since Yao Ming entered the NBA, the league and the Rockets have made a lot of money from China every year. Now the league officials and the owners of the teams are eager to see new Chinese players enter the NBA every year. As the old saying goes, in the NBA, business is business."

"Hey, bullshit business, basketball is basketball. I just watched the grouping. We are in team B, and that kid is in team A. Just wait and see. I will definitely blow him up in this afternoon's confrontation match. When the time comes, I will Let's see which other team has the face to invite this garbage player to participate in the next team trial training."

"Haha, this kid is really unlucky, he will be targeted by Luther Head, the number one star guard in our training camp."

"It is estimated that the headline on the front page of tomorrow's ESPN draft section will be: Luther Head, one of the three Illinois heroes, beats the shit out of the Huaguo kid."

"Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to that scene."

......

If someone talks about him rudely behind his back on a domestic court, Zhang Jinshui's rationality may make him pretend not to hear him. After all, there are four or five people on the opposite side, and he is only one person-he is not stupid.

But in the NBA joint trial camp, in addition to being a trial player, he also has another identity: Chinese.

This identity does not allow him to take half a step back when facing the provocations of the beautiful people.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Jinshui stopped several people, ignored Zi Chunlin's dissuasion, and went straight to Luther Head.

"You seem to have a lot of opinions on me coming to the joint trial training? Also, is it impolite to talk about others behind their backs?"

Hyde gave Zhang Jinshui a cold look, and said, "First of all, I didn't talk about you behind your back, I declared war on you in front of you. Secondly, if you are not a Chinese, do you think you are qualified to appear in the training camp?" Is there? One of my college teammates, who had a tryout invite, got rescinded because of you, so, yeah, I have a hard time with you."

"Have you ever considered the possibility that I'm more deserving of this workout than your teammates?"

Zhang Jinshui's English accent is very stiff, but his expression is very precise.

The two black sticks beside Hyde laughed out loud, the poor performance in the training camp in the past two days was not enough to support Zhang Jinshui to say such a thing.

Hyde looked at Zhang Jinshui contemptuously, and said, "I thought that every player from Huaguo was as humble as Yao Ming. It seems that I was wrong. Let's see you in the group match. The same sentence, this match, I will definitely blow you up."

"Then I can only wish you good luck." Zhang Jinshui narrowed his eyes slightly, and the little affection he had for Lutherhead from his previous life disappeared.

The nba joint trial training is a very magical existence. He has an official name, but it is difficult to invite the popular rookies of the year.

For example, young players such as Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Marvin Williams and Australian center Bogut who have already achieved their worth through the NCAA, all rejected the invitation to the joint trial training-they will only appear in the hands The team's individual trial training is underway.

In the joint training camp, most of them are strong but not well-known players, and they urgently need to show themselves to the outside world.

Famous players come here, it's like the best fat falls to the wolves, everyone tries to attract the attention of the media and nba teams by blowing them up.

Therefore, coming to participate in the joint trial training is really a matter where the risks far outweigh the benefits.

As one of the three outstanding Illinois, Luther Hyde almost sent the University of Illinois to the championship podium in the just-concluded March Madness. He is very famous. Let his draft price fall out of the lottery zone, so he won't come to the joint trial.

He is the fattest piece of meat in this year's joint trial training. In a sense, it is indeed a good choice for him to face the "weak chicken" defender Zhang Jinshui from Huaguo in the group match.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, reporters from dozens of professional media gathered on the second floor near the midfield. This is the reporter area specially set up by the NBA official. Every inch of space.

Representatives of [-] teams appeared on the second floor of the arena on time. In addition to scouts and assistant coaches, general managers of more than a dozen teams also came to the scene, including the general manager of the Rockets. Dawson.

In 2002, it was Dawson who resisted all opinions and gave up Jay Williams, the top pick of the year, and chose the big center Yao Ming from the ancient oriental Huaguo.

This seemingly controversial operation at the time not only laid the cornerstone of the Rockets' team building for the next ten years, but also made it one of the most profitable teams in the NBA.

Dawson also stepped up to the top step by step, becoming one of the league's top general managers.

In the past three days, Dawson and general managers of other teams have personally appeared in the joint trial training, and the main target is naturally Zhang Jinshui.

Only after two and a half days of trial training, Zhang Jinshui has successfully lowered his expectations in everyone's hearts from a full score of 100 to a negative number.

"With the strength of this young man from Huaguo, he is still one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the NBA."

The executives of these teams have rarely reached a consensus.

They still appear in the auditorium of the internal competition, and they have more of a mentality of "everything is coming".

And Zhang Jinshui successfully upgraded to the material for their mouth-popping.

"Johnson, why are you still here? You still don't give up on that kid from Huaguo, do you?"

"Dawson, are you mocking my vision problem?"

"Hahaha!"

.....

On the side of the court, the young players who were listening to the temporary coach's tactical arrangement had been divided into four teams, a, b, c, and d. Team a and team b would compete first.

The interim coach of Team A did not have the opportunity to communicate with the team's top management. Although he himself sentenced Zhang Jinshui to death in his heart, he still arranged Zhang Jinshui as the starting point guard with great interest after seeing many team top management present. .

Even though the upright Nate Robinson complained to the coach time and time again that he was the stronger point guard, Zhang Jinshui still couldn't stop Zhang Jinshui from taking Blatche and Turiaf on the court.

On the opposite side, the starting players of Team B have also stepped onto the court, and next to Hyde stands Weaver, who can only play shooting guard. It can be inferred that Hyde will appear in the position of point guard as he said, and Zhang Gold-water matchup.
