From Today it is the King of the Basketball

The Chicago United Center is conducting an annual joint trial.

The geniuses who are about to participate in the NBA draft conference, more than 120 American high school students, college students and overseas players who have received joint trial invitations, are trying their best to show their talents.

Joint trial training, said to be joint, is actually the largest trial training given to all rookies who have received and accepted the invitation for joint trial training. They decide what to train and the order of the trial training. , Are the Bulls.

In the trial training process, the scouts and coaches of each team are carefully observing what they want to choose, or the alternative, or it seems that they do not hope to be selected but there is a chance that they will be stunned and fall behind. The selected rookie.

On the Eagles side, the coaching staff, the boss, and Liu Mang, who followed along, were all glowing red. Liu Mang also took a scout report to find rookies he was interested in and watch their trial training.

It's just that Liu Mang is looking at the same group of people he wants to submit to coach Kruger.

Liu Mang is also an individual, and of course I want to see the trial training of talented players who can see talents with the naked eye!

In the morning, it is a joint trial training, and in the afternoon, it is a competition to show the ability of 13 members of the small green house.

The joint trial training is divided into three areas. In the competition center of the United Center, most of the seats have been removed and divided into several areas. There are various equipment or running tracks. Here is a display of physical fitness. There are also two training grounds, which are skills and shots. More than 100 invited rookies, according to the order of the draw, show the ability in groups, starting in three areas at the same time, and then change the venue to carry out .

It's very troublesome, so a team needs a lot of people to directly see the performance of the players they like.

Liu Mang turned around and saw James and Anthony warming up together before the trial!

"Wow, Ace, I didn't expect you to come! Long time no see!" James saw Liu Mang coming up and gave a warm hug, "Ace, this is Mero, Mero, this is Ace, my brother. "

James hasn't entered the NBA yet, and he has already begun to show his social skills like socializing.

"OH, LeBron, I haven't seen you for a long time." Liu Mang also gave a warm hug. Although he is a future opponent, he is also under the same endorsement brand, and he can't be a friend. Although the relationship with the little blacksmith is bad, but the interaction So much.

But not so familiar with Anthony, Liu Mang just shook his hand: "Hello, this is Ace."

"Hello, this is Carmelo Anthony." Anthony was not as active as James and smiled shyly.

"Ais, are you here to help your team pick? I heard that your draft vision is very good, I'm curious what kind of Wade you suggest the Cavaliers choose, by the way, which rookie are you interested in this year? ? We two plus Wade, you certainly can not choose, or take us to see it together? "James said nothing about this matter.

The latter thing that James said is also what other teams want to know. Whose trial does Liu Mang need to see? There are even teams that are ready to grab Liu Mang's focus on the rookie, and grab it directly in the middle and back of the first round.

Liu Mang looked at James, who had a fairly mature personality from the beginning. This may also be a natural gift!

"Dwyane is a great player. You can get to know him a lot. He and I are in the same company, but today I mainly come to see a few of your first few popular training trials. I am not interested in others. "Liu Mang smiled.

Liu Mang already has the recommended candidates. Try these things. If some geniuses are buried, they can really show their abilities through the training. They will not be buried in the second round or even lost. The draft is nothing more than a draft. There are only a few players who can be chosen for their combat power and gambling talent, and they can never be optimistic about counterattacks every year. Liu Mang has known what he can rise and will not be affected by too many other influences. It is easy to rise. The list of players is handed over to coach Kruger.

Trial training, of course, depends on James! Look at the trial training of this super physical man who may be unique in NBA history.

"Really? Oh, Ace, we are brothers, you can tell who you want to choose!"

"You haven't gone to the Cavaliers! You want to help the Cavaliers to set up intelligence with me? It is a pity that the Cavaliers are already our team in the second round of this year, our team's cool brother Ira New York Bell will be your teammate next season. "

"How come, in case Dwyane was chosen by the Cavaliers?"

"You are really dishonest ..."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang and James chatted for a while and made a joke, and then James and Anthony were called away by the staff to go to the lottery and take pictures.

Trial training is still very troublesome and stressful for rookies. There are more than 100 rookies participating in the trial training. Then, in addition to reporters and NBA official camera teams, only the coaches and management of other teams, There are more than two hundred people, and the pressure can be imagined in front of those who decide their own future destiny.

Liu Mang wandered around, some trial training has already begun, Liu Mang met his agent Schwartz with Wade and a few unknown rookies, although Schwartz has the income of first-line agents , But it was all supported by Liu Mang. When robbing the predicted lottery rookies with those big-name agents, none were captured. Only Wade signed on Liu Mang ’s suggestion.

Yesterday, Liu Mang and Wade had met each other. I met them. As a senior, the advice to Wade was only to be relaxed, and he could n’t help much else.

...

About half an hour later, at 9:30 in the morning, all preparations continued, and the three major regions began their own trial training.

Liu Mang came to the area where the physical fitness of the main stadium was displayed. Here is what he most wanted to see, watching a group of "beast" level physical fitness men show their talents.

James is undoubtedly the one most concerned about, the speed of the point guard level, the power of the forward level, the body of the power forward, and such a body, there should be no flexibility, it is completely a perfect basketball genius specimen Liu Mang heard Paul Silas, an acquaintance wearing the Cavaliers logo next to him and the former Hawks fame, who had just become the Cavaliers coach.

Wade's trial training has also attracted a lot of attention. Seeing Wade's explosive power and short-range explosive speed, some teams that did not invite Wade's trial training in advance all lamented the reputation. .

There are also trials of Bosh, Anthony, Milicic and others, all of which have been highly praised.

After reading these hot spots, Liu Mang walked around and saw a guy who made him feel no slower than Iverson. The sprint test, which was a long test of 109.36 yards, also It's a hundred meters.

Leonard Barbosa ran out of speed in ten seconds or fifty-eight. This talent of speed is simply absolutely not a professional sprinter, but actually ran out of the speed that only domestic first-class track and field athletes have.

Liu Mang felt very sorry for Barbosa. Looking at the scout report in his hand: the technology is average, the defense is bad, the playing is purely based on the speed and the basket, and has a certain shooting ability.

This evaluation is almost exactly the same as that of Barbosa recognized by Liu Mang.

Liu Mang regretted why Barbosa didn't practice track and field with such a good speed talent, and then left.

Following the assistants of Liu Mang ’s other teams, he saw that Liu Mang stayed so long apart from the popular players for the first time, and he all wrote the name of Barbosa in a small book.

When Liu Mang saw some of his favorite players, he just glanced away and left, mainly because the performance of his brother's trial training was really bad ...

In the morning, there were more than two hours of large-scale trial training. In the afternoon, I watched the 13-person lottery match in the small green house. The day of the joint trial ended.

After returning to the hotel, it was another meeting.

After Liu Mang went through the work of the team ’s summer decision-making team this time, he finally felt the hard work of a team ’s management team. It was really a meeting all day long.

Liu Mang gave coach Kruger the list of rookies he wanted the team to pick.

If it is said about who the team trades, the management will be against the players' finger pointing, but regarding Liu Mang's draft vision, the Hawks management can only say-convince!

Price and the coaching staff squeezed together, and can't wait to see who Liu Mang is interested in.

Then the more I watch, the more worried ...

A handsome guy, but his physical fitness is also poor. In addition to shooting, other techniques are too bad!

A technique is good, physical fitness is also very good, but looks too good ... too much!

...

...

Time passed quickly, and it was the sixth game between the Nets and Spurs.

After the Spurs defended two homes in a row, they lost two consecutive away games. At this time, people really felt that this year's Nets are indeed much stronger than last year. They actually won two games.

In the Battle of the Heavenly Kings, with only two Spurs scoring in double figures, the Spurs won with a double 20 performance that Duncan had become accustomed to in the playoffs this year, defeating the Nets 89-82.

This game is already the biggest difference in the first five games. The first four games did not even have a difference of more than 4 points. Especially in the second game, the Spurs beat the Nets 77-76, but the Spurs have Duncan. At the critical moment, the man who hit the ball, and the Nets did not have the final word, can only say that the life is not good.

Today at the Nets' home, Duncan gave Kidd no chance to play the most invincible game of the year's finals, scoring 22 points, 23 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks. He missed two blocks and got a double-double to lead the Spurs. The team beat the Nets 85 to 75 and won the championship 4-2.

...

After watching the final game of the finals at the hotel in Chicago, Liu Mang sighed that Duncan is still undergoing a meniscus suture operation and the peak period of the bounce has dropped a lot. If there is no serious injury, it is now 27 or 8 years old How strong should the peak years of your age be?

Systematic evaluation of Duncan as "born king" is really not given in vain.

Looking at Kidd on the TV screen, his face at home is not angry, because the previous few Nets have almost lost the game with three points and four points, Kidd is certainly not angry.

Liu Mang saw that Kidd was so unhappy and unhappy, he scolded and deserved it, and then turned off the TV, and insisted that he watch the game with himself, but looked at such a boring game, Dana, who fell asleep and hugged to Lai At the door of Via ’s room, after knocking on the door and handing it to Levia, she returned to the room and waited for the good news of the team.

After the joint trial, the team management team and the coaching staff will immediately start the trial training in Atlanta and follow-up trade negotiations.

The main bargaining chip has been obtained. How to operate the rest is not a negotiation with Anji, but a relationship with the boss of each team. This needs to be done by Price.

Liu Mang's family continued to stay in Chicago for a few more days, and finally came out for a trip. Of course, they should take a good stroll. When the summer is over, they will be busy, training, endorsement, and returning to the country ...

On July 1st, the first season's endorsement fees will be fully paid, and Liu Mang will also turn the NBA's middle and poor farmers into local tyrants.

Although the NBA endorsement does not stipulate when to give money, it is basically a convention. It is given at the end of each season, because there are some reward clauses, such as Rahim, the first partner with Liu Mang He was selected as an All-Star this season, and he received an extra fee for shoes that season.

Generally speaking, for NBA stars, there is no money in the rookie period, and the bank will give almost interest-free loans, which is an investment. When the NBA stars are developed, they will save the money to the branch of their bank. With performance, banks can use this money to make more money for others.

However, Liu Mang is not used to this way of overdrawing his future lifestyle in advance, so he has been poor, waiting for the NBA star to endorse this. Although there is no clear provision in this regard, it has become a habit. The day when July 1st completely ended last season, rich Go home again.

Parents are considered middle class in China, otherwise they have no money to pay Liu Mang University high tuition fees for the first two years, so when Liu Mang did n’t get big money, the family did n’t reach out to ask him for money, and Liu Mang did n’t do it. Too many things.

But now we are about to have money. If we are really rich, of course we have to return home.

...

...

After the joint training, after the joint training, people suddenly found that the team that had sold some stars suddenly seemed to disappear from the news. Some young fans felt bored, the finals were boring, and there was no news in the trading market. Things that can refresh the show.

But the old fans know that this strange quietness makes them feel an undercurrent.

It is often said that the roaring and bustling transaction will be ruined in the last ten, but this strange and quiet atmosphere will often have big things happen!

Liu Mang was also nervous at this time.

Sometimes it ’s not that you gave the chips, they will agree to accept the transaction, this kind of thing is not good.

Anji has a habit of collecting draft picks. There is definitely no problem about trading to Antoine Walker, but if Antoine Walker can't make a shot, then this transaction is also a ruin. Fu Zhidongli.

Finally, after 11:30 in the evening, half an hour before the trading window between the draft and the NBA Draft, Liu Mang received a call from coach Kruger and heard the excitement from the phone, Liu Mang Finally relieved ...

...

At 0:00 on June 25, 2003.

A new news window has been added to the NBA official website during the trading period of the draft conference. Trading news broke out within a few minutes after the template arrived at zero.

Several transactions were concluded within a few minutes.

The first is that the Eagles sent Ira Newbell to get the second pick from the Cavaliers in the second round this year.

The Spurs used the 29th overall pick in the first round and the 20th overall pick in the second round they had previously traded to get the Timberwolves' 24th overall pick.

The Hawks used the 14th overall pick in the first round of 2003 and got the 20th overall pick in the 2003 first round, the Celtics second round pick in 2004, and the 2004 Hornets. The Magic's second-round pick.

And the Kings and Mavericks trade ...

At the beginning, there were several small transactions that little people felt insignificant. Although the Eagles turned the first round into a first round and two second rounds, it was surprising, but it was not a big deal. It may be just an eagle. The players that the team wants to choose are not so high in prediction.

Finally, at ten o'clock in the morning, the enthusiastic basketball fans who are refreshing the website saw a shocking big deal, a six-team big deal involving nearly ten players and several draft picks!

The Celtics sent Antoine Walker to receive the 2004 first-round draft picks for the Hawks, the top five picks for the Hawks in the first round in 2006, Danny Ferry from the Hawks, and the Timberwolves. Trier Brandon has only one year left with only 2.6 million partial security contracts and the Timberwolves $ 3 million in cash compensation.

The Timberwolves sent Trier Brandon, Mark Jackson, 3 million cash, the 29th overall pick in the 2003 first round, and the 20th overall pick in the second round in 2003. Preville.

The Blazers sent Rashid Wallace and got Antoine Walker.

The Knicks sent Sprewell and won the 2003 second-round 20th pick from the 76ers Keane Van Horn and the Timberwolves.

The 76ers sent Keene Van Horn to the Timberwolves center Mark Jackson, the 29th overall pick in the 2003 first round and Chris Crawford from the Hawks.

The Hawks sent the 2004 Hawks and Spurs with lower draft picks, the top five picks in 2006 to protect the draft picks, Danny Ferry, Chris Crawford Rashid Wallace!

...

Six-team big deal!

The sudden burst of coldness, the Spurs' championship night was completely taken away!

Originally, major TV stations were still broadcasting the carnival of San Antonio fans at night, and the news was urgently broadcast.

The news sensationalized the entire basketball circle.

Not to mention who traded. The six-team big deal is extremely rare in the history of NBA. By the next morning, it has become the focus of discussion on the news of major sports TV stations. The Internet, newspaper media They also reported one after another. Fans and expert media also expressed their opinions.

The 76ers, because Iverson is going to undergo surgery to treat injuries in the summer, may not be able to fight in the first two months of the season. This injury has been delayed for half of the season, and now the mentality has calmed down a lot of Iverson ’s decision After the operation, the 76ers had become a foregone conclusion, so the transaction left Van Horn to save money and free up salary space. Maybe he could take over some big contracts like Mark Jackson and get a little pick compensation.

The 76ers' operation was well evaluated.

The Blazers sent Rashid Wallace back to Antoine Walker, and the evaluation was not bad or bad, and it was also well received, because Antoine Walker played a bit of a tumor, but had a good personality and lively , Unlike Rashid Wallace who eats technical fouls all day long.

The Knicks were always so obsessed with the operation, sending Sprewell back to Van Horn and got a bad review. The madman was much stronger than Van Horn and the compensation was only one second round.

The Celtics deal received good reviews. Antoine Walker bluntly wanted to leave. It was good to return to the first two rounds. The flat salary space of the Trier Brandon contract was partially guaranteed. Terry Brandon last played in March 2002 and has been reimbursed since. It is estimated that he will be laid off, but the Celtics received cash compensation from the Timberwolves.

Especially in the previous trade with the Hawks, this year ’s draft pick was raised to the 14th pick. There is a greater chance of selecting the high school students who have tried several training centers. The Celtics traded this time. Very well received.

The Timberwolves received the highest evaluation!

They almost emptied the white wolf, sent away two big contracts of Trier Brandon and Mark Jackson, not to mention, and also got a madman in good condition last season. This is almost the most since the Joe Smith incident. It was a perfect signing, and the only thing paid was a 24th overall pick and 3 million cash!

Five of the six teams traded, most of them received favorable reviews, and the Knicks were sprayed, at best, considered to be worse.

On the Eagles side, people feel that the Eagles boss is heading into the sea again!

The 76ers were in order to put a bad draft pick. The Knicks are naturally mentally retarded. There is no worst. Only the worse. The Blazers have replaced the sting head with an all-round player. The Celtics are also forced to rebuild. Recruitment reinforces the ability of shooting guards and strikers.

And what exactly does the Hawks plan? He posted two first rounds without saying anything, and also took over a thorn.

After the events of the season just ended, the media and fans are not optimistic about the Hawks trade, and Price is also under the pressure of the head office. Price can only expect this recruitment to be successful, and then expect Liu Mang will really not make such an unreliable deal in the future as he promised next time. He does n’t know how long he can keep him in this position by renewing his contract to make money for the team.

When everyone said that the Hawks were lost to the East again, they made a deal with their heads in trouble, and most people were not optimistic about the Hawks deal. There was a tough and distinctive The scolding came out.

Victory exploded, blaming the Blazers for being stupid in an interview, and the Eagles and the Celtics played together.

Others can't see the plasticity of Rashid Wallace, how can Vicky not see it? It ’s just that the Spurs have no chips, no space, or Vicky has long wanted Rashid Wallace, but he did n’t say the advantages of Rashid Wallace. His belief is that he has to It ’s better not to get others.

Just as the Lakers robbed Gasol in the future, Gasol was called a soft egg during the Grizzlies. Victory never praised Gasol, but Gasol was robbed by the Lakers, and Vicky came out and scolded her immediately. .

But at this stage, Vicky does n’t like the media at all, and is not liked by fans. They all feel that this drunkard is drunk again, probably stimulated by the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves can rely on a Garnett to rank in the top five in the west, come to Sprewell, and free up 2.6 million more salary space. If the Timberwolves cut Trier Brandon, they would also occupy 260. Ten thousand salary space, even if the transaction left Mark Jackson, but it was replaced by Sprewell, at most there is only 5 million salary space left, but now the Timberwolves have vacated nearly 8 million salary space, it is entirely possible With the reinforcement of a strong player, another strong team in the West is about to be born.

Therefore, Victory's words are not taken seriously by anyone at all, and the brains of the media are also very powerful. They issued a suitable "cause" for Victory's remarks.

So the news and fan comments that slammed the Eagles' management into the sea again were overwhelming.

...

"Ais, your boss is crazy!" Leviaia looked at the news on TV news and couldn't help but spout.

"Levia, don't worry, this is part of the plan. Rashid will be completely different after coming to our team." Liu Mang comforted.

Levia was still very unhappy, and after a while, Alexia and Dina came out, and even the more sensible little Lori began to scold the Eagles management.

Liu Mang ’s explanation was useless,

Even **** fans are like this, Liu Mang can imagine how bad the outside world is for the Hawks.

The main reason is that the influence of the big dog last year was too bad.

But this is a good thing for the Hawks and Liu Mang.

The Hawks can be in a relatively despised position, which is really a good thing for Liu Mang.

Originally, the Hawks split the 14th round of the first round into a first round and two second rounds. No one sprayed it, and now this has started to be sprayed.

The Hawks sent a 2003 first-round pick in the first round of the 14th pick for the Celtics in the first round and two second rounds. It was purely a trade compensation for the Celtics to help eat Danny Ferrina. There are 2 years left each year. More than 3 million contracts.

Looking at the three girls, they were very dissatisfied and unhappy, and Liu Mang had no choice but to get Rashid Wallace back by then.

Liu Mang was receiving a text message while he was chatting about the future with three chicks, and when he was happy to get Rashid Wallace as a helper, the three chicks were helpless and noisy. readwn.com ~ Seeing this text message, there was a warm current in my heart.

It was a text message from Coach Kruger.

"Ess, you must pay attention to such things as meddling in the team trade. In the future, players like Rashid Wallace who really want to partner, you can come up with it yourself. Your voice is stronger than mine. But for ordinary players who want to do it later, do n’t ask the boss yourself. You can tell me. I ’ll discuss it with the boss. I can decide the ordinary players. I will tell the media about Rashid ’s deal this time. The idea, the boss is also under pressure. I will take care of this matter. You are not allowed to express any opinion on this transaction! "

Liu Mang saw the text message from coach Kruger and saw the last exclamation mark, what else can he say? After hesitating for a long time, I can only reply a thank you.

Four years of mentoring and apprenticeship, saying that a good boy is not a flick, but Liu Mang has the urge to tears.

Master, Master, Liu Mang feels that coach Kruger has been more than the former in the past four years.

It may be that Coach Kruger has no children himself. For Liu Mang, a disciple who is not optimistic about entering the university, he has always had extra care. Slowly, this has become a habit in life.

Strict or cursed. Coach Kruger rarely has a good expression for Liu Mang, but he is the most forgiving person in the coaching staff.

At this moment, Liu Mang feels a little homesick. What will the parents of this life be like?

On the other side of the family, before Liu Mang came to the United States, there was only a less developed wired communication. The original Liu Mang was not good at speaking. He rarely called his parents during college. Liu Mang did n’t even contact his family after he entered the NBA. After that, now I see that the planned time to go home is getting closer and closer. Liu Mang feels the warmth of the home again. Instead, he is a little uneasy about going home to see his parents ...
