June 17, Washington DC.
There is still more than a week before the draft, and the trial training of each team is in full swing.
Despite two consecutive championships, the Knicks' training ground is also full of players from all over the world.
But obviously, as a championship team with no chances of drafting, the Knicks have very limited ability to attract rookies.
This is the defending champion, a team that has a chance to build a dynasty, but unfortunately, the better the performance in college, the farther away from the Knicks.
On the contrary, like the Washington Wizards, teams with high draft picks in their hands are more popular with rookies. The last few days have been the time when the Washington Wizards have attracted the most attention in the past year. Except for Irving, outsiders predict The top draft picks have all finished their workouts here, even though Washington only holds the No. 6 pick. …
But that's good man, for the vast majority of rookies, No. 6 is a lifetime unapproachable pick.
Don't look at the fact that there are many high-ranking rookies who can't make it in the league, and don't look at many people like Irving, Zuo Li, and Griffin who have booked the No. 1 pick in advance before entering the league. Entering the league has already eliminated 99% of the people.
More people have to work hard for their own ranking.
So when Zuo Li dressed up and came to the training ground of the Washington Wizards, what he saw was a hot and passionate training scene.
"This is youth~" This scene made Zuo Li very emotional, as if he had returned to three years ago, when he was just like them.
"Yeah, yeah, that's how we came here at the beginning. In a blink of an eye, three years have passed." Rich Paul agreed.
Curry, who came with Zuo Li, had a strange expression on the side: "Don't make trouble, boss, you seem to have been booked by the Knicks at that time, have you forgotten, Dolan called you personally, and you didn't even have one A team tryout…”
"Cough cough cough!" After being exposed, Zuo Li was not embarrassed. Instead, he watched the training with great interest. Can't get into the Washington Wizards field anyway.
Soon Zuo Li found the target of his trip—Klay Thompson.
On the field not far away, he was showing off his shooting, and facing him was Derek Williams, who is also a well-known striker in the university and is also a popular candidate for this year's No. 2-6 show. But obviously, in terms of shooting, Kelai casually killed him in seconds.
"Boss, this guy is very good, his shots are very steady, and he looks like a shooter." An expert can tell if there is one as soon as he makes a shot. Curry, who followed him for a long time, quickly saw that Kelai is extraordinary. It can be said that, There are thirty or so rookies in the field, and none of them can shoot better than him.
"Oh? As expected of you, Stephen." Zuo Li nodded. When he came, Zuo Li didn't tell him the purpose of the trip. He didn't expect to be discovered so soon. Could it be that this is some kind of special fetter?
Splash Brothers?
Collect two Summon Greens?
I heard that Thompson is also from a sports family. Sure enough, similar experiences will attract each other.
After a set of shots, both Curry and Rich Paul were full of praise for Kerai, thinking that he would definitely be a first-class superstar in the future, and the last time he was at the Miller level.
Zuo Li was speechless for a while, do you think Miller is Chinese cabbage...
But then, Kelai exposed his biggest shortcoming, which is his poor dribbling...
Not only was he unable to dribble, but Kelai’s ability to attack independently was also lacking. In the subsequent training games, Kelai repeatedly had embarrassing scenes where he couldn’t break through, and when he dribbled the ball by himself, his shooting was also not effective...
Now the two of Curry stopped talking. From this point of view, this guy is at best with Korver, not necessarily Korver. It seems... there is no need to spend so much effort to recruit...
loss!
Rich Paul has already begun to feel bad about the airfare. It is a lot of money for three people to fly from New York to Washington!
But Zuo Li's expression is saying: What do you two know? Among the rookies in this class, apart from Leonard who has the same brain circuit, Kelai is the most fragrant!
[To tell the truth, I have been using the source-changing app recently to read and update books, to switch between sources, and to read aloud with many voices, both Android and Apple. 】
And considering his adaptability, he can be said to be the most fragrant. After all, when Zuo Li crossed, he already had three championships in his hand, and he won it with the same team, which is more fragrant than Leonard.
It doesn't matter if you can't attack independently, as long as the tactics and lineup are suitable, Kelai will be one of New York's future big killers!
When the time comes, Curry Gac will come in the backcourt, the forwards Danny Green and Battier, and the inside...
Tsk~
Zuo Li has already observed a moment of silence for other teams in the league.
So after the training, Zuo Li made a decisive attack and found Kelai directly.
"Little brother, I think we need to talk."
"What's there to talk about? I'm very busy and tired. If you have anything to discuss with my agent!" Kelai, who was packing his things with his head down, waved his hands impatiently.
He is thinking about the draft right now. As a student of Washington State University, he is still very interested in joining the Washington Wizards, and Washington holds the No. Training is very important.
But just after practice, the general manager and coach of the Washington Wizards showed little interest in him.
"While you're great and you shoot the ball really well, ... we want an inside guy."
This is the original words of the Wizards head coach. Although it is very euphemistic, it is almost clear that they will not select him with the sixth pick in their hands.
He can also understand that, after all, the Wizards already have Wall, and they really need a tenable insider to match Wall.
But this didn't affect Kelai's mood.
"Oh, **** ho, I think it's better to talk to you, Kelai Thompson." Zuo Li didn't mind, but stood in front of Kelai.
Kelai only felt that the light source in front of him was blocked, so he raised his head angrily to ask something, and then he saw Zuo Li's face...
"FUCK!
! "
"Zuo Li! You are Zuo Li! OMG! Why are you here!
! "Ke Lai instantly turned into an ape-human, UU Reading directly jumped out two meters away, then covered his mouth and pointed at Zuo Li and shouted.
"Yes, yes, calm down, buddy, aren't you tired? Looking at your voice, I don't think you are tired..." Zuo Li helplessly looked at the other people who were attracted by Ke Lai, it's over, keep a low profile no more.
"Ohshit! I'm so excited, sorry." Kelai obviously understood that he was too excited.
"Let's go, change the place, I don't think you will like being surrounded." Zuo Li and Rich Paul exchanged glances, and the group quickly evacuated from the training hall.
Half an hour later, the four of them met in the cafe.
Similar to signing Curry, Kelai, who went home and asked his father, joined Zuo Li's agency the next day.
Everything went well, and the next step is how the Knicks operate on draft night.
