However, despite his disdain for Cleveland, Woody still maintained quality and quantity during the trial training, and even completed an extraordinary amount of training.

I don’t have any other intention, I just want to strengthen my old teammates.

Who told him to run away as soon as the last game was over, and he didn't even know to shake hands and hug his old teammates!

I don’t know, but I thought the two of them didn’t have a good relationship when they were at St. Mary’s~

Who shouted "good brother" at that time, turned around and pretended not to recognize him!

For nothing, he led this guy to revive the glory of St. Mary's and win the first Division I high school state championship trophy in team history!

LeBron James' physical fitness has reached the NBA level.

But Woody's current physical fitness has also reached the NBA level.

Although the two of them are good at different things, LeBron James is good at physique, strength, explosiveness, and jumping, but his coordination and lateral movement are relatively mediocre.

.

As it happens, these are the things Woody is good at!

LeBron James' physical fitness is the most mentioned aspect when their team is building momentum, and now Woody is tied with LeBron in this aspect. This is something that no one expected, including Cleveland's management.

Look at the stunned expression on Jimmy Paxson's face!

In fact, he had already promised LeBron James that he would be selected with the "No. 1 pick".

As long as the league gives the Cavaliers the "No. 1 pick", this has long been doomed...

LeBron James was born in Akron, adjacent to Cleveland.

It grew up in the slums again!

Still a dark-skinned person!

Any one of these together with the "geographical complex" is the reason why Cleveland must use the "No. 1 pick" to select him, not to mention that LeBron James now has three of them.

Although Woody also came out of Akron, he was not born here after all.

This is the difference between a godson and a biological son!

If Woody wants to defeat him, there is a way, and that is to join Ohio State University and fight for a championship trophy for Ohio in "March Madness"!

When both are high school students, if you must choose one person to inherit the "throne" of Cleveland, it must be LeBron James...

So trying out Woody is actually just a process.

After all, he's from Akron, too.

But at this moment, the shock that Woody brought to him caused his original firm idea to briefly waver. As long as the "buff" on LeBron James had not been superimposed to this extent, the two people were competing on the same starting line.

, it is really difficult for him to make this painful choice...

"Man, you're incredible, we'll give it serious consideration, and we really want you to play for Cleveland, and I love your Saint Mary's, this is for you!"

After the trial, Jimmy Paxson did not refuse directly.

Woody's performance really has huge potential. If LeBron James fails to show his potential in the future, and Woody becomes the "Emperor Superstar" instead, then if he refuses too harshly today, there is no guarantee that he will not be nailed to the "Pillar of Shame" in the future.

"superior.

It's been so long since the 1984 draft, but the Trail Blazers are still being teased and "whipped" from time to time.

Paxson doesn't want to be a "clown."

Since both of them have unlimited potential, from his perspective, it must have been a difficult decision before they chose LeBron James.

It's just that the LeBron James team heard that he had made a promise to Woody, and they were a little anxious. They kept contacting him, and even more vigorously preached outside that "LeBron is the only choice for Cleveland" and "This is what everyone expected."

the result of!"

Woody's second stop was not Detroit, but Toronto.

The Pistons are still fully preparing for the playoffs. They completed a "big reversal" in the first round, making the Magic the first NBA team to lead 3-1 only to be overturned in three consecutive games after the restructuring of the first round.

I thought that after such a difficult reversal, the semifinals of the playoffs would be easier, but when they faced the 76ers in the semifinals, they had to go through the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" before they won the match point, winning 4-

2 eliminated the Philadelphia 76ers led by Allen Iverson!

They had the best record in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, but now they only reached the Eastern Conference Finals after stumbling. Compared to them, the Nets completed a sweep in the second round. Their momentum was extremely fierce. Facing such an opponent, they did not dare to slack off.

Even the draft work has been put on hold for the time being.

The trial training in Toronto also went very well. Woody's performance impressed even the determined Cavaliers management, not to mention the Raptors management, who were already interested in Woody.

General manager Babcock personally sent Woody out of the arena: "Man, I'm looking forward to seeing you wearing a Raptors jersey playing at the Canada Flight Center!"

But after he left, the assistant next to him looked at Babcock's reluctant eyes and couldn't help but remind him: "Man, if we really choose Woody, we will probably push Vince away completely!

"

Since the results of the draw came out, the "Canadian Flyer" learned that the Raptors have the No. 4 pick in the first round this year. He has repeatedly emphasized that he hopes this pick can bring immediate combat power to the Raptors. He does not want to wait for the newcomer to grow!

Babcock curled his lips: "Don't worry, this multiple-choice question was not done by me, but by Vince Carter himself. You can call Vince now and tell him that we have inspected a lot recently.

The rookie now has two candidates for him to choose from, one is Woody from St. Mary's High School, and the other... is Georgia Tech freshman player Chris Bosh!"

After leaving Toronto, Woody's next stop was the Heat.

Arriving in the hot and enthusiastic Miami, "Magic" Johnson's mood jumped a bit. After arriving, he made several phone calls one after another. Obviously, he had "sowed" a lot of seeds here, but he didn't know if there were any results.

The "fruit" is coming.

Woody suddenly thought of the two Johnson children.

With those powerful genes, if there really is an "illegitimate child", he should be able to recognize it at a glance, right?

After two days of rest, Johnson took Woody to the American Airlines Arena.

On the way, he introduced some information about the Heat to Woody: "Actually, this Heat team is very suitable for you. Pat Riley likes the kind of athletic forwards, and he once said that in the future basketball

It is a sport for five players who are over 2 meters tall. This concept is also reflected in this team. In this team, your three or four characteristics can be activated to the greatest extent. Unfortunately... this old man's character is too paranoid.

Yes, his training requirements for players are really inhumane!"

Woody knew that Johnson and Pat Riley were old acquaintances. During the "show time" of the Lakers, Johnson was the core of the team, and the head coach at the time was Pat Riley!

Hearing him say that Pat Riley was too paranoid, Woody couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

His basketball career has been going quite smoothly so far. From Ben Wallace to Dell Curry to Drew, he has never encountered any "coaches with character flaws."

Johnson saw Woody's nervousness and comforted him: "But buddy, you don't have to be nervous. If we really fall to the fifth pick in the first round, it'll be okay. I'm here! Parker will definitely not dare to be too paranoid about you.

!”

Woody also belatedly remembered that it was Pat Riley who was joined by Johnson and other Lakers players to create Los Angeles.

They know nothing about "infighting"!

It can be seen that Pat Riley still attaches great importance to Woody, and specially arranged a special trial training. Only Woody participated in today's training. And two days later, Pat Riley will have a game with seven players.

Open tryout for eight newcomers.

Obviously Pat Riley is expressing his attitude to Woody in this way: You are very different from me!

Woody was in good condition today, not only in the physical fitness-related trial training items, but also in the mid-range field. He was extremely accurate today. In three groups of 30 shots each, the number of shots he made was more than 23.

Pat Riley nodded with satisfaction.

He had already seen Woody's explosive physical fitness just now, and now that he saw that he had good mid-range skills, he wanted to take Woody to visit the locker room immediately and designate the wardrobe he wanted to use.

There was no way he could do it. He was originally his favorite forward with such good physical fitness, but now he actually had a hand job.

Who can bear this?

Even Johnson could see his affection for Woody. When he left the arena, he patted Woody on the shoulder: "This old man is probably attracted to you! That's okay, kid!"

Trials for 6 teams have now been completed for 3 of them. Judging from the feedback from the general managers of the three teams after the trials, the probability of Woody being picked in the top five is not only a certainty, but also a certainty.

Don't forget, they still have the Pistons, who hold the second pick in the first round, and they haven't gone to tryout yet!

"However, don't take it lightly, man, we can't relax until all trials are over!"

Woody nodded, he understood this very well.

They went to Washington first.

After Michael Jordan left, the Wizards were in need of a new core and were looking for something new. If Woody was established as the core, it would be a very suitable environment for Woody to grow. Woody successfully conquered the Wizards' management with his outstanding performance.

It's just that the management's attitude is not so firm.

The reason...

The tragedy of Kwame Brown just happened.

And if we really want to talk about it, Kwame Brown's performance was no worse than Woody's during the trial training.

So when they saw Woody's rough offensive skills, they immediately thought of this bad memory and felt a little more uneasy.

Woody then followed Johnson to New York.

After a year, Woody returned to New York again, standing on a familiar street, looking at Alan Houston on the big poster, and Woody was inspired.

The momentary passion at that time is gradually becoming reality!
