Chapter 84 Waiting for You to Walk Together

In mid-to-late April, the NBA regular season came to an end.

At the same time, some teams that have completely missed the playoffs have become very delicate in the face of certain games.

Can professional players be called bad?At best, it is a strategic abandonment of this season.

Qin Fei watched the live broadcast of the last few games of the regular season at home, and witnessed the 72 wins and 10 losses of Gu Shuojin, the leader of the Qiao Gang.

This record was once considered the most unlikely record in the NBA to be broken.

Tellem called and told Qin Fei that he was ready to go to some teams for trial training.

Tellem had already analyzed the three teams that invited Qin Fei to tryouts. According to reason, they should participate in the Knicks' tryouts soon. However, the entire Knicks team is actively preparing for the playoffs. After communicating with Tellem, the Knicks decided to postpone the individual tryouts.

When will it be postponed?Of course, it depends on where the Knicks can go in the playoffs.

According to the record, the Knicks have a draft pick in the middle and lower reaches of the first round, which is a big deal for Qin Fei, but for the team, the current big deal is to do a good job in the playoffs.

That's why the Heat and Spurs who entered the playoffs are the same. Tellem also helped Qin Fei contact the Philadelphia 76ers for a trial training.

The record of the Philadelphia 76ers can be described as very bad. They won 18 games in one season, and the Grizzlies in the entire league have a worse record than them.

Qin Fei originally planned to go to Philadelphia on the 25th and participate in the trial training on the 26th, but Tellem called him again and told him that the 76ers also decided to postpone the trial training.

On the other hand, the 76ers themselves have undergone major team changes. The original owner Harold Katz sold the team to Concas for $1250 million, and the former head coach and general manager were laid off one after another.

The team's new head coach and general manager positions are held by Johnny Davis and Brad Greenberg, respectively.

The date is set for September 5th.

Qin Fei has nothing to say, there is no way, who will let others be the buyer?

Time entered May, and more and more young players signed up for the 5 draft. Some sports media declared after authoritative research that 1996 was the year of the draft.

After a sunny April, the New York area began to experience light rain in early May.

Tellem came to New York in person and took Qin Fei to Philadelphia.

New York is not very far from Philadelphia, and Tellem's young apprentice, Rob, drives relatively smoothly.

Along the way, the three of them were chatting about the draft.

During this process, Qin Fei also learned that the trial training was not as simple as he imagined.

An NBA executive once said that if an NBA team puts the draft bet on the joint tryout, then it shows that their work is not in place.

In fact, a lot of basic work has already been done when these players are still playing college basketball. The joint trial training just provides an opportunity for the team and players to talk face to face.

Those who really hope to improve their picks through trial training are usually second-round picks or some players who are not on the draft prediction list, and Qin Fei, who is firmly in the first round, is obviously not among them.

"Openness and interests urge the team to make different choices. The joint trial training in Philadelphia is just a show. The real work has been done long ago." Tellem means that Qin Fei does not need to be nervous.

After arriving in Philadelphia, Tellem did not take Qin Fei directly to the 76ers' arena, but stopped by the suburbs of Philadelphia to pick up another teenager.

The boy was wearing a pair of expensive sunglasses. He was tall and thin, similar to Qin Fei, with dark skin. He greeted the three people in the car very politely.

But among the three, he already knew Tellem and Rob, and only Qin Fei was a stranger.

Two teenagers of the same age and the same month met each other in the not spacious car, and Qin Fei was stunned.

This time the tryout was more like an interview.

The Philadelphia 76ers at the time selected shooting guard Jerry Stackhouse in the 1995 draft.

In the first year of entering the league, Stackhouse averaged a team-high 19.2 points per game, and was selected to the rookie team, showing good potential.

Therefore, the 76ers' comprehensive lineup wants to find a strong inside player or a point guard worth cultivating.

The best choice is of course Tim Duncan of Wake Forest College. Unfortunately, Duncan has a degree.

In the 96th class, it seems that only Camby is left as an insider choice, but the 76ers have inspected Camby before, and always feel that Camby is too thin, that's it, so it's better to choose a point guard.

But even though I think so, the 76ers are not stupid when they invite players for trial training. If you have the strength to come and see the guards, forwards and centers, it's like a blind date anyway, and it won't hurt you to see them.

So when Qin Fei came to the arena, he saw many acquaintances.

Villanova's Kittles, Kentucky's Tony Delk, McCarty, Syracuse's John Wallace, and more.

There's even his own teammate, Jerome Williams.

Jerome's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Fei, and he had the feeling that the champion team was coming.

"Who is this?"

Jerome was in his 20s and looked more mature than Qin Fei. When he saw the young man behind Qin Fei, he took the initiative to say hello.

"Hi, I'm Kobe Bryant from Lower Merion High School."

The boy smiled and shook hands with Jerome. When Jerome heard it, he turned out to be a high school student.

It's not that I look down on high school students, but in the eyes of college students, isn't a high school student a younger brother?So Jerome looked like a big brother, and patted Kobe on the shoulder, "You guys are also here to participate in the trial training? Don't you want to go to college?"

"Stop reading."

Kobe glanced at Qin Fei, a little unaccustomed to Jerome's enthusiasm.

Jerome didn't know Kobe, but many people at the scene knew Kobe. This is the Naismith High School Student of the Year winner, led the team to win the state championship for the first time in 57 years, and broke Wilt Chamberlain's 40-year scoring record in Pennsylvania.

Kobe's series of titles and honors can be said to be the grand slam of high school students, much more dazzling than the naked Qin Fei.

It's just that Qin Fei is a player who has played in the NCAA for a year, so he seems to be more stable.

Several familiar people chatted together, and not long after, the new general manager and new head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers walked in side by side.

The two first made an opening speech, welcome to the 76ers for trial training, and then began to engage in a five-on-five game.

This kind of competition is meaningless. The five people are all strangers, and they all want to show themselves. People with real characteristics can't see anything in this kind of competition.

After the five-team five-game match, the two of them conducted individual interviews with each player and were very responsible.

Kobe was ahead of Qin Fei in the office, fiddling with his expensive sunglasses all the way, which made the general manager who was watching secretly frown.

Qin Fei didn't see those lottery favorites, and he guessed in his heart that those players should all get individual trial training opportunities.

He remembered that the 76ers got the No. [-] pick later this year, but he didn't know if there were any other picks. If there were no other picks, what was he doing here? No one else would sign him with the No. [-] pick. He could leave after the game!

After Kobe came out, he made faces at Qin Fei.

"What's the matter, does the general manager like you very much?" Qin Fei laughed.

Kobe was amused by Qin Fei, and shook his head bragging: "I definitely like it if I like it, but I'm afraid they don't have such a high pick to sign me."

"You really want to play in Philadelphia!" Qin Fei was surprised.

"Is there anything wrong? It's close to home and the arena is familiar." Kobe shrugged.

ho ho

interesting

"Go in quickly, I'll wait for you to go together." Kobe urged impatiently.

Kobe had heard of Qin Fei's name before, and he also watched the NCAA final match. Qin Fei's powerful two plus one at the last moment was very domineering. He especially liked that ball. Now both of them signed with agent Tellem, which can also be said to be players under Tellem's banner. Kobe wanted to find an opportunity to compete with Qin Fei.

He was going to go one-on-one with Qin Fei when he got back.

Qin Fei didn't know what Kobe was thinking. He was surprised to see Kobe's patience.

But after thinking about it, it was right, Kobe didn't have a car, so why not walk back by himself without waiting for him to go together?

In this case, he can slowly have a detailed chat with the general manager, and it is not a bad thing to ask Kobe to wait for him outside.

　Boss comes out!Arndlem was the boss's first agent, anyone remember?
