I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 518

Draft!

No matter which draft it is, there is one thing that cannot be escaped.

That is a joint trial, a trial with the team.

There is actually a simpler explanation for this matter.

Joint trial training is equivalent to entering a big market. As long as your goods are good enough, they will naturally attract buyers and sign you into their own team.

And this trial is also one of the few opportunities for many players who are predicted to be in the lottery to make a comeback.

If they show themselves in the joint trial, they are likely to be favored by other teams and finally get a good ranking.

This is a good opportunity for them.

Therefore, most players will participate in the combine to improve their draft stock.

But another team's tryout is different.

Only players with absolute strength will be invited by the team.

Compared with joint trials, this trial can only be participated by invitation. This threshold is enough to remove many players.

The team will discuss with the players they like, then indicate the players they want to sign, and report them to the NBA.

There is a high probability that these players will enter the team they want to play.

As long as both of them are optimistic about it.

Most of the time, teams don't interfere in these matters.

But there are special circumstances.

That's when a team is too strong.

……

Five days later, Su Ye looked at the empty arena.

There is no staff here, only Su Ye and David Griffin.

The reason for clearing the place is to carry out the next work.

Su Ye looked at the various facilities that had been prepared and nodded with great satisfaction.

"That's it."

Su Ye suddenly warned David Griffin in a very serious tone.

"Don't!"

"This year's draft, we cannot reveal information to any team."

"If it is revealed, it will affect our championship next season."

David Griffin swallowed after hearing this.

He could also see that Su Ye was really serious about this draft.

After a while, when the two people were about to leave the venue, David Griffin had a little worry in his eyes.

"Su Ye, are the three people you mentioned really good?"

"I read their draft report."

"them……"

Halfway through the words, David Griffin had a little helplessness in his eyes.

According to the draft report, although the talents of these three people were good in high school and college, their data after the physical test were not very good.

To put it bluntly, one of them has outstanding physical talent.

The other two are serious problem players.

Su Ye saw David Griffin's worry and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Trust my choice."

David Griffin sighed.

When things reached this point, he could only believe in Su Ye's choice first.

……

Three days later, three rookie players walked out of the airport in Cleveland.

After leaving the airport and getting on the bus, everyone had surprised expressions on their faces when they saw the three people on each other.

They didn't expect that today, there would be a team trial with three people at the same time.

This is something they have never experienced.

Originally, all three of them wanted to participate in the joint trial training to try to improve their elective rankings.

But now there are teams willing to give themselves the opportunity to try out, and they want to seize it.

Although this team was terrible, when they heard that Cleveland was willing to reimburse all travel expenses, they still chose to try their luck.

Leonard, who got in the car, still had a sullen face.

He glanced at Butler and Thomas next to him, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Leonard didn't understand why he, a lottery pick, would try out with a late pick who couldn't even play in the NBA.

Although he had heard of these two people's names in high school.

But after entering a university where there are many powerful people, these two people were quickly overwhelmed by the light of many geniuses.

As for Leonard, he struggled for a long time before he got the chance to enter the NBA lottery.

Now that Leonard is on the bus, he deeply regrets why he came to Cleveland instead of accepting a trial with the Pacers.

The bus driver glanced at the three people.

Immediately, you can see the disapproving look in the eyes of the three people.

The bus driver, who had experienced many things, shook his head helplessly and led the three of them to the stadium.

On the way, Butler, who likes to chat and negotiate with people, finally opened up the conversation between Leonard and Thomas.

The three people also chatted about this trial training.

Soon these three people, who had just turned 19, got together and started chatting.

After a while, when they arrived at the entrance of the stadium, the three of them suddenly became nervous when they saw David Griffin who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

They recognized it as the Cavaliers manager who had given them the invitation.

Being able to have the Cavaliers manager take the initiative to greet them, at least based on the attitude of the Cavaliers, won the favor of these three people.

When facing the manager, the three of them became reserved.

David Griffin also smiled to lighten the atmosphere, leading them to the training ground while introducing them to Cleveland's home court.

But after walking for a while, the same idea came to the three people's minds.

The Cavaliers home court is a bit eerily quiet.

Apart from David Griffin, they didn't see a second staff member along the way.

Even the surrounding shops operated by the team mall were closed that day.

It seemed like there were only the three of them in the entire arena.

"Manager, is today a day off?"

Butler, who has a straightforward temper, asks questions when he has questions in his mind.

David Griffin saw that the other two people also looked puzzled, and just explained vaguely.

"Due to special reasons, the venue has been cleared."

"You must avoid one thing."

"Don't tell any team what you went through today."

"Unless you don't cherish this opportunity to join the Cavaliers."

Cherish the opportunity to join the Cavaliers?

The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, with a joking expression on their faces.

Who doesn't know that the Cavaliers' two top players will leave this year.

Only Pau Gasol is left to support the team.

The Cavaliers are destined to be a weak team next season.

Both Leonard and Butler saw the opportunity to become team bosses.

And Thomas saw an opportunity to prove himself.

All three people felt hope.

But for David Griffin, he cherishes the opportunity.

It’s okay for a bad team like the Cavaliers not to come.
