I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 31 Shooting a future (recommendation ticket for collection)

Then it was time for Li Yang's personal three-point performance. Despite his continuous and quick shots, he still maintained a super high shooting percentage.

Li Yang shot a total of 30 three-pointers. Except for the next few shots that were deformed and missed, he made a total of 30 of 26 shots, which perfectly demonstrated his unique three-point shooting ability!

He didn't stop for a long time, and the next step was a breakthrough layup and a mid-range shot. This aspect is Li Yang's weakness for the time being, but as long as he can play his best level, it will be fine.

In the dribbling test, Li Yang's performance is also quite brilliant, he can easily dribble the ball behind the crotch, and the ball feels quite good.

Li Yang dribbled the ball quickly, suddenly, his body was sent forward, and then he stopped suddenly and made a two-pointer easily.

This is Li Yang's forte, making a jump shot with an emergency stop.In the next few rounds, the overall performance was pretty good. There were no missed layups, and the ball fell steadily into the basket.

The head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, pointed to Li Yang on the court, and whispered to the general manager RC Buford next to him: "This kid is very good at three-pointers, and he is also very good at pull-up jump shots, but it is estimated that this defense is very problematic. If he can practice defense in the future, he is at least a top-notch 3D player."

"Well, but defense can't be learned in three or two days, maybe it will never be done!" RC Buford nodded in agreement, but he was not too optimistic about Li Yang's future.

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey's eyes lit up after watching Li Yang shoot a three-pointer, but he immediately suppressed the restlessness in his heart and calmly analyzed: "Since Yao Ming retired, the league has not had a Chinese player join the NBA Rockets for a long time. This may be a good opportunity!"

He smacked his lips, rubbed his chin with his right hand, looked hesitant, thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's a pity, it's because of this defensive problem, but he has a huge Chinese market on his body, just for the huge aura of the Chinese market behind him, maybe we should let him try and give him a chance for trial training. Observe and see, it won't be too late to make a move then!"

Today's league is in the small-ball era. With a good three-pointer and a good defense, you can basically thrive anywhere. If you can add more offensive methods, you can even get an annual salary of tens of millions in some teams.

Soon, Li Yang finished the trial training and watched Myers Bridges' explosive dunk performance from the sideline with great interest.

This guy has an extremely strong body and super explosive power. Although his ball-handling skills are still not very delicate and need to be polished, his explosive dunking method makes people excited, and people can naturally ignore these shortcomings.

In contrast, Li Yang's body looks a bit weak, and he can only watch others' aerial work and dunks with admiration enviously. Before he gets the dunk skill, he can only do a floor job honestly. It is impossible for him to dunk dunks at present.

After everyone's trial training was over, Li Yang saw that the top executives including the Suns, Cavaliers and Spurs had sent scouts to invite their favorite rookies to try out individually.

For example, the general manager of the Eagles, Travis Schlink, walked directly to Tre Young and had a cordial conversation with him.

Spurs head coach Popovich picked up the trial list in his hand, thought for a moment, and said to the general manager RC Buford beside him: "Our most important thing this year is to retain the winning lineup. As for the No. 18 pick in the first round of this year, I mean that the first choice is Lonnie Walker. He has both offense and defense, strong physical fitness, and strong scoring ability."

"As for the second pick, don't we still have a 49th pick in the second round? We just choose the guy from China. After all, his open three-pointers and dribbling are still of a certain level."

Buford next to him nodded and said, "Okay, but is the 49th pick too low? I think other teams will cut it." Buford said helplessly to Gregg Popovich.

Popovich was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head: "For the time being, let's settle it this way. The problem of funds is up to you to solve the problem, and the rest will be taken one step at a time."

In addition to owning the Spurs team, Pete Holt, the owner of the Spurs, is also the CEO of a tractor dealer, but his net worth ranks at the bottom of the league, not even comparable to Curry, and he is not comparable to the big bosses of other teams in terms of funds.

At the same time, the Rockets scout next to him was discussing with Morey about Li Yang: "Can this Chinese guy be included in our roster?"

Morey rubbed his chin, thought carefully for a while, and then replied: "There is no extra draft pick in hand this year, only a second-round pick with the 46th pick, so we must choose a defensive guard with immediate combat power to strengthen the depth of the team's bench."

"His defense is not good. You have to know that players without defense are not within our consideration this time, because we have been building a team around Harden. You know Harden's defense. Our main goal this time is to sign Anthony Melton."Morey said firmly.

Li Yang has been waiting, waiting for which teams can discover his bright spots. He is fully sure that some teams will throw an olive branch and get a chance to try out.

However, it wasn't until everyone in the arena was gone, and when the general managers and scouts of those teams had almost left, that group of people arrived late, and Honey's self-confidence almost collapsed.

Popovich and his group came over and chatted with Li Yang for a while, inviting him to the Spurs for a trial next Monday morning. After leaving his contact information, they left in a hurry, probably to go back to discuss.

At this moment, "Your Majesty called me to patrol the mountains, and I will turn the world around." Suddenly, a cell phone rang, and Li Yang hurriedly took out his cell phone from his backpack, feeling embarrassed. Fortunately, no one could understand the ringtone: "Hi, hello, who are you?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Li Yang? Let me introduce myself. I am a part-time scout for the Cleveland Cavaliers. You can call me Mike." A loud voice came from the phone.

"Hello, I'm Li Yang. I don't know what you want from me?" When Li Yang heard that he was a scout for the Cleveland Cavaliers, he thought that there might be something interesting, and suddenly he was overjoyed. Could there be a double happiness today?But didn't you see the Cavaliers' general manager or assistant coach come over just now?Li Yang suppressed the little joy in his heart, and replied with a trembling voice.

"Mr. Li Yang, we just watched your trial training and decided to invite you to our Cleveland Cavaliers to try out alone. I just don't know if you have time?" The voice over there sounded very polite.

"Yes, yes, I have time, when will the trial training start? What preparations should I make?" Li Yang suppressed the joy in his heart and asked anxiously.

"Well, can you come here this afternoon? Our management team tried out another person today, so we didn't come here for this joint trial training, but sent me here. I saw your trial training and thought you are a great guy. I think I can give you a chance." The voice over there said without the slightest appreciation.

"Okay, okay, I'll go directly in the afternoon, thank you for your trust," Li Yang replied hastily.

"You don't have to thank me, young man, you deserve it, do your best, since you can come over this afternoon."

The other party hesitated for a while, and then said: "Then go back with me, just in time to have a good talk with you, I will wait for you in the waiting room at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then we will go back to Cleveland together."

After the appointed time, the other party hung up the phone, but Li Yang still did not recover from the huge surprise, and the succession of good news made Li Yang even more confident.

I secretly swear in my heart that no matter how far the road ahead is, I will keep going and realize my dream!I control my own life!
Only the final trophy is worthy of my ups and downs along the way!
