I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 59 059. Trial training in the United States (recommended)

After playing the Stankovic Cup, the only warm-up match for the Chinese men's basketball team before the Olympics is the FIBA ​​Diamond Cup Intercontinental Men's Basketball Tournament.

During this month's vacant period, Chen Long was approved by the men's basketball team leader Lao Bai to go to the United States to participate in the team's trial training with the NBA's high pick.

The first stop is the Chicago Bulls.

In his previous life, Chen Long followed in the footsteps of an old hooligan and came to Chicago to fulfill his basketball dream. In the end, he was reborn by accident, so his feelings for this city are very complicated.

Rookies such as Chen Long, Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley who can enter the small green room 100% generally skip Orlando's concentrated body side and Reebok Treviso training camp.

The special assistant to the president of the Chicago Bulls, Gal Forman, sent invitations to five players, Chen Long, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, 0J Mayo and Kevin Love, for the team's trial training.

As soon as Chen Long's flight landed, the most eye-catching people in the pick-up crowd were hip-hop dressed Derrick Rose and his elder brother Alan Rose.

"Hey, Aaron." Ross walked over and habitually jumped up and bumped his chest with Chen Long. This collision made him realize that Chen Long's strength had become stronger again.

Ross hammered the tendons on Chen Long's chest hard, and joked, "You monster has become stronger."

"Ross, you're not bad either." Chen Long pinched Rose's arms, and it was obvious that he hadn't relaxed his training for more than a month.

"Hey hey hey, if I didn't know your orientation, I would doubt your relationship." Alan Ross mocked, and then hugged Chen Long warmly.

Sitting in the big brother's pickup truck, Chen Long talked about his experience in the national team. Rose said that he won a lot of money when he returned to Inglewood.

"Is there anyone else asking you to bet on football?" Chen Long was taken aback, thinking that Ross should be Chicago now, oh no, who is the strongest golfer in the entire Illinois state, who is so bold and dares to fight with him?
"Derek went back to Simeon High School to play with those kids, $1 a time, I really don't know what he was thinking..." Alan Rose, who was driving, complained.

Derrick Rose shook his head and smiled without explaining. The brothers didn't understand him, but Chen Long understood what Rose was thinking.

Sports are the only way for the lower class in Chicago to cross class. Rose is about to enter the NBA as an elite white-collar worker. He wants to use his own way to influence the Inglewood community.

"Aaron, tell me the location of the hotel you booked." Alan Rose asked.

Chen Long silently gave the address of Rose's house.

Alan Ross covered his mouth and laughed, and then said, "Hey, brother, you have chosen a good place, the entire Inglewood area, it is the safest hotel."

Of the four boys in the Rose family, three are dangerous gangsters, but Rose, the youngest, can make it to the NBA, which is legendary enough.

"But you shouldn't be in Chicago," Alan Rose said.

"Why?" Chen Long asked suspiciously.

"Because the Bulls will definitely choose Rose as the No. [-] pick, the Chicagoans will not accept others, including you!" Alan Rose replied half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Derrick Rose's expression was a little upset, because he didn't want to take advantage of his birthplace, and said angrily, "If the Bulls didn't choose me because of my strength, I would rather go to Miami or other places... ..."

"Hey Derek, stop being silly, everyone knows you deserve to be number one!"

Alan Rose is putting pressure on Chen Long in his own way. He and Chen Long are friends, and he also knows that Chen Long is Ross's best brother, but brothers can't be used as money. The champion can have many privileges when signing a contract. That was all Lenroth thought of.

"Alan, I know Derek's ability better than anyone else, but since I came to Chicago, I signed for the No. [-] pick. Look, we will compete fairly on the training ground."

Chen Long stretched out his fist towards Ross, who heaved a sigh of relief, then punched back with sharp eyes, "I won't lose to you."

Alan Rose has been struggling in the society for more than ten years, and he has already cultivated a personality like a hob, but he has nothing to do with Chen Long, as long as Chen Long punches Rose in the NCAA quarterfinals The scene that exploded Augustine brought tears to his eyes.

After arriving at Rose's house, Chen Long and Rose went to Murray Park after eating BBQ in the evening. This is also where Rose's basketball dream started.

Chen Long played with a few black boys. On the offensive end, he had unsolvable jump shots, fake layups, and various blood caps on the defensive end. These little guys have completed a 180-degree transformation from self-confidence to low self-esteem.

The next day, Rose accompanied Chen Long to the Chicago Bulls' training ground for a trial training.

Chen Long's agent, Bill Duffy, has been waiting at the training ground for a long time.

"Time is money, Aaron. The first trial training has 48 hours of contact time. Generally speaking, it is divided into static, dynamic and psychological tests. You have already done these before signing with Nike, so the point is that you communicate with the senior management. meeting." Bill Duffy introduced.

Chen Long nodded, and then saw all the senior management of the Bulls, from the team president and general manager to the team's personnel director and training director.

Rose was taken aback, thinking that this battle was even bigger than he was a few days ago.

Due to the excellent results of Rose's previous trial training, the Bulls general manager has ruled out 'instant combat power' Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo and UCLA general Kevin Love.

Bill Duffy and Rose's agent Armstrong have already got the Bulls' preselection answer, and the No. [-] pick will be produced between Chen Long and Derrick Rose.

After the static talent training, Chen Long's performance in the dynamic training of one-on-one, two-on-two, and three-on-three is amazing.

In the final dialogue session, Chen Long's speech and thoughts further refreshed Paxson and others' impression of Chinese dragons.

If Derrick Rose is mature like a star in his 20s, Chen Long's mentality is like a superstar in his 30s!

"Oh my God, it's really hard to choose between Chen Long and Rose. I really want to get both of them!" Bulls general manager Paxson complained.

Galforman thought about the possibility of completing the trade on draft night, but he came to the conclusion that any team that gets Chen Long will not trade Chen Long. Therefore, the best way is to use the No. [-] pick to select Chen Long.

As for Derrick Rose, he might be able to try to trade with the team that selected him, even if it costs main players like Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon or Luol Deng, it doesn't matter.

After the trial for the Bulls, Chen Long and Derrick Rose went to Miami together.

It is absolutely rare for the two favorites of the No. [-] pick to try out together, which made the old fox Pat Riley realize that the No. [-] pick in his hand may be more valuable.

When the two received the Heat's trial training, Pat Riley inquired about their cooperation intentions, and the old fox immediately called the Heat's high-level executives to discuss the possibility of robbing the deal.

In the eyes of Pat Riley, who puts interests first, although Chen Long and Rose are good, they can't help the Heat defeat the Big Three of the Green Army.
