NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 90 Are You In Houston...

After watching the Magic's reversed series at home, Zhu Wan also received a call from Happy: "Man, the lottery is about to start, your vacation is over, it's time to come back and prepare for the trial training!"

Zhu Wan immediately packed his luggage and took Jimmy Butler to prepare for the return trip.

"Ah? Are you going back? So soon?"

Jimmy Butler is here these days, "clothes, hands, food, mouth", what a comfortable little day!
Looking at his appearance, I guess it will take a while to get used to it when I go back.

"There are still about 4 in this card, you take all of it!"

Zhu Jianmin drove Zhu Wan and Jimmy Butler directly to the airport in his newly purchased Toyota. The reason for buying a Toyota can only be said to be due to the influence of the times. At this time, the most popular saying is "There must be a road before the mountain, and there is a Toyota car if there is a road."He took out his card in the United States, which originally contained more than 6 yuan, of which more than 2 yuan came back to buy this and that plus this Toyota car, and he converted it into RMB, which means that he gave all the remaining money to Zhu Wan.

He knew that Zhu Wan would still be busy with the draft, which probably cost a lot of money.

Zhu Wan wasn't hypocritical either. With the relationship between him and his second uncle all these years, and after the draft, he would have money. He didn't need to be courteous. Put the bank card away, and he reminded again: "Don't forget, get the passport for my parents."

At the draft meeting on June 6th, Zhu Wan had already decided to let his second uncle bring his parents to New York to witness the moment when he jumped into the dragon gate.

"Don't worry, don't forget!"

Zhu Jianmin waved his hand, Zhu Wan didn't say anything more, and turned his head with Jimmy Butler into the security channel.

He bought a ticket to New York, and Oakley was already waiting there. During his trial with Happy, Jimmy Butler was training with Oakley in New York.

Oakley had been looking forward to seeing Jimmy Butler again for a long time, but this time seeing Jimmy Butler again, he was overjoyed to see Jimmy Butler again, with some thought in his eyes, he glanced at Zhu Wan, then looked at Jimmy Butler again for a long time, and pulled Zhu Wan aside: "Do you think there is a possibility..."

"What?"

"...No, nothing!" Oakley was mysteriously silent for a long time, hesitated to speak, and finally waved his hand to let Zhu Wan go to the trial training without worry, and Jimmy Butler handed it over to him.

Although he didn't say a word, Zhu Wan could somewhat guess what he was thinking when he looked at him like this. He just felt that the longer Jimmy Butler grew, the more familiar he felt.

But he didn't care about this matter, and after exhorting Jimmy Butler, he headed to Chicago to join Happy. The upcoming rookie joint trial training will be held at the United Arena in Chicago.

Oakley stared at Butler for a long time after Juwan left, and asked carefully, "Jimmy, how old are you this year?"

"14 years old." Butler replied with a crisp voice.

"How many months?"

"July……"

"That's the time in '88 and '89... I remember you were from Houston?"

After getting Butler's affirmative answer, Oakley walked to the corner talking to himself, took out his mobile phone and called Michael Jordan: "Brother, 14 years ago, you seemed to have a good time, were you in Houston..."

When Zhu Wan arrived in Chicago, Happy had already contacted him with the training center, and he could just start training directly. ——This is preparation for the joint trial training.

Although the joint trial training may not be so important more than ten years later, and Kevin Durant was even angry about "formalism", but in the current period, the results of the joint trial training can actually affect the player's draft pick. Kwame Brown can become the No. 01 pick in [-]. His outstanding performance in the joint trial training is a very important reason.

Don't look at Juwan's current momentum is on par with LeBron James and ahead of Carmelo Anthony, but if Carmelo Anthony performs well in the joint trial training and his performance is average, I am afraid that the latter will catch up with him immediately.

This is how things change in the blink of an eye before the draft.

Any one factor, even a seemingly insignificant factor, has the potential to have a huge impact.

Otherwise, how could someone sit in the small green room until the second round before being selected?
In addition, Harpy also told Zhu Wan that after he announced that they would participate in this joint trial training, Carmelo Anthony's agent CAA Brokerage Company also immediately announced that "Carmelo Anthony will also participate in the joint trial training".

The three super rookies most watched by the outside world have chosen to participate in this joint trial training.

Obviously, the competition between the three of them will officially start from this moment!
Because of this, Zhu Wan worked harder when he was adjusting and training.

But working hard is just for better performance, and it has nothing to do with the two "Heaven's Proud Sons" also participating in the joint trial training. Just kidding, his biggest selling point is his immediate combat power. In places like joint trial training, where there are confrontations, why should he panic?No matter how well he performed during the physical test, he managed to reverse the reputation in the confrontation match.

I have to say that the time at home is comfortable, but the body has become lazy because of it. The recovery training last week was really hard work, but after gritting his teeth through the first week, Zhu Wan gradually adapted to the current training volume. He knew that his condition had returned.

During the period when he was adjusting and training, the NBA 03 lottery conference also arrived as scheduled. The general managers of the 14 lottery teams gathered together and began to draw prizes.

Hmm... It's better to say it's a prize than a prize.

Except for a very small number of years where the awards were obtained by touching, the management of the other years' awards are actually very clear that they were awarded by the master above.

What did David Stern say?

My rules are rules!

It's just that the people who set the rules this year don't know what to do.

He just got the news that the Nuggets have handed over the draft to the deputy general manager Karl. Michael Karl was the former general manager of the Celtics. He worked in the Celtics for two years. After Auerbach retired, he became the head of the team development department. After that, he left the Celtics and successfully entered the management of the Nuggets... He was born in the Celtics.

At this time, Denver had given him full power to handle the 03 draft. David Stern couldn't help but feel that this was not Auerbach's handwriting.

The problem is, the Nuggets have had a terrible season.

Tied with the Cavaliers for last in the league.

If he signs the No. [-] pick to the Cavaliers, the Nuggets can get the top three picks at least.

This is tantamount to giving Auerbach a pick.

If you mess with him again, it's not impossible to get the second pick in the first round.

Although in this way, David Stern can guarantee that LeBron James will enter Cleveland smoothly. ——In his opinion, this is the way to deal with the greatest value of LeBron James.

But what if Auerbach's target is Juwan?

Then "Larry Bird" and "Magician" have all gone to the east, so why do you want to engage in "Magic Bird Contest 2.0"!

There has been a lot of talk about "Black and White 2.0" these days, and David Stern has naturally heard it. To be honest, he is very excited about this script.

I have already thought about trying to "shoot" this script.

But the sudden news about the changes in the management of the Nuggets made him feel a little bit difficult.

Obviously, now he needs to make some trade-offs...

While he was struggling, the lottery meeting officially ended. The "bald guy" called him and asked him for his final opinion. He sighed and said in his heart: Sure enough, it is really unrealistic to think of using Auerbach as a pawn!
He had to admit: This time... the master lost!
　Brothers, on the first day of the new year, I wish you all your dreams come true in the new year.
