Chapter 129： The draft is approaching, the undercurrent is surging (Part 1)

"The genius of the basketball fanatic is on the left (

Krause, who has been retired for many years, has no idea how long he has not felt so excited. The last time he should have been at the Bulls training ground, watching Michael Jordan, who was brought back with the fifth pick, smashed the Quartet God and blocked the God of Death.

Seeing Zuo Li's trial training data makes him feel like he has returned to his youth. Going to a nightclub at this time will definitely fulfill his dream that he has not fulfilled in ten years!

Hit ten!

Cough, if Zuo Li knew about it, he would probably scare him away.

This is not important, more importantly, in the afternoon training game, Zuo Li once again refreshed people's perception of him.

How Zuo Li played in the past can be described in three words, that is, 'Breakthrough! ''breakthrough! ' or TMD' breakthrough! ’

Zuo Li's breakthrough is unstoppable, because not only is he tall and long, his personal skills are very good, and his confrontation ability is also excellent, whether it is against talented monsters like Griffin or black and white like Hibbert. Hard, even smaller people can hit Zuoli.

So much so that before Zuo Li entered the NBA, some people are already discussing whether Zuo Li is the player with the strongest personal skills or singles ability in history.

As a center, he doesn't need to feed the ball, and he can also pull up to a high position to support him. After all, he is also a good passer, and he grasps the timing of the pick and roll very well. If he is not too tall, he is suitable for being a guard.

But also, as an insider, his insider skills are average, and he relies on simple footsteps on his back. He is very skilled, but it belongs to the kind of tricks that are rare and limited to save the United States.

but!

In the joint trial training in the afternoon, Zuo Li didn't even go to the outside to hold the ball. He seemed to have agreed with Mayo of the same team, so he went to the low post, that is, back to play.

Whether it was Love or the Lopez brothers who were defending him, Zuo Li repeatedly played tricks back and forth.

The most irritating thing is that he also dunked Beasley on the inside, played the No. 1 pick without any temper, and finally left the game in a daze...

Moreover, in this smooth action, there is actually a shadow of Ewing, who used to be the number one center in New York!

This directly shocked the scouts. They wrote frantically in their notebooks and wished they had two more hands. At the same time, some people were complaining:

"FUCK! Zuo Li is hiding too deep! Could it be that he hasn't used his full strength in the NCAA?!"

You must know that it is 2008, and the selection requirements for centers are still very primitive. It is completely different from the centers after 2015. In this era, the centers who can walk inside are simply geniuses. If there is still one who can handle the ball and attack.

That is superb!

As for whether Zuo Li has just learned...

Who will believe it? Look at Howard. After so many years, how many famous coaches have been hired, and after practicing for a long time, it is nothing, and it can be practiced in two or three months. You think we are stupid!

Well, Howard Wind Review was killed, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Zuo Li's learning ability is indeed a bug, this is the power of the system.

Krause was even more excited, dragged John Paxson to the corner, and said with stern words: "Sign him! Whatever it takes! This is the second perfect time for our Bulls to revive, thank goodness! We were able to draw this year. To the top pick! OMG! God bless!"

John Paxson scratched his head in embarrassment. He still felt that Ross was a good match, but in front of the old manager, he couldn't say it directly, he could only say perfunctorily that he would try his best to negotiate with Zuo Li.

Leaving the Bulls aside, scouts from Memphis, Miami and other teams behind them also called management to describe a wave of the situation. The answer was to hurry up and negotiate with Zuo Li. Talking to the Bulls, trading or whatever, doesn't matter.

Here, the Miami Heat, the team that got the No. 2 pick, were the most excited, because they were the first to approach Rich Paul.

Although they didn't have a strong desire to stand Zuo Li before, after seeing Zuo Li's body side report, Pat Riley personally called Rich Paul in order to ask Zuo Li if he had any thoughts about coming to Miami, after all They are the No. 2 pick, and it must be the easiest to trade.

So Rich Paul naturally became the most popular person outside the stadium, and he also began to help Zuo Li screen each team and conduct further analysis on each team.

Of course, the final decision is left to himself.

And that night, Rich Paul came to the hotel where Zuo Li stayed, without any nonsense, went straight to the theme: "Boss, which team do you want to go to."

If outsiders hear this sentence, they will definitely think that the two are pretending to be coercive. It is up to the draft to decide where to go. If you don’t want to go, if they choose you, can you still go?

Don't say it, it's really possible.

There are too many unpleasant things about the draft in the history of the NBA, because the draft is actually an act of "distributing the right to reach a contract", and the contract is really formed, that is, the player must officially join the team. completed under the circumstances.

The NBA itself is a business field, and the principles of doing things are similar to those in the shopping mall It is about your love and my wishes. To give a good example, in 2000, the Grizzlies selected Steve Francis as the No. 2 pick. , but the Boss Fred would not go to the cold Vancouver (the Grizzlies were still in Canada at that time), and the Grizzlies had no choice but to trade Francis to Houston.

Generally speaking, this is the only way to deal with it. As for the alliance, it will generally not interfere unless it shakes the interests of the alliance.

So before the draft, you will basically have contact with players, everyone is good to discuss, it is good for you and the team, and this is especially true for players like Zuo Li.

However, Zuo Li thinks that the Bulls are not bad. The team has been down for 10 years, desperately needs a savior, and the lineup is sparse. He has enough playing time to guarantee, except that there is a big **** behind Jordan to give pressure, there is nothing serious. Chicago is also a big city. Although the city is also full of gangs and drugs, who is Zuo Li? He came out of Harlem. He has never seen anything, so if the communication with the bull goes well, he is ready to go to the bull. Well, as for disrupting the original draft.

He has crossed over and still cares about you, of course, the most important thing is to grow up.

"Bulls, it does meet the requirements, but..." Rich Paul thought about the feeling of meeting today: "Their general manager doesn't seem to be in high spirits, but has discussed with Rose's agent for a long time."

"Oh? Is that so?" Zuo Li touched his chin. In his last life, he heard that the general manager of the Bulls liked Ross very much, and he was almost the one who advocated for Ross. Could it be that History's own correction ability is so strong.

"It's going to be difficult." Zuo Li had no interest in Miami or Memphis after that. Do you really want to learn from Francis to force the palace?

And when Zuo Li was hesitating, a phone call came directly to his hand...
