The Chicago United Center is conducting its annual combine workouts.

The talents who are about to participate in the NBA draft, and more than 120 American high school students, college students, and overseas players who have received joint trial invitations, are all trying their best to show off their talents.

The joint trial training, said to be a joint trial, is actually the largest trial training for all the rookies who have received the invitation to the joint trial training and accepted the invitation. It determines the content of the trial training and the order of the trial training.

, both Bulls.

During the trial training process one by one, the scouts and coaches of each team are carefully observing the candidates they want to select, or they are alternatives, or they seem to have no hope of being selected but have a chance of being upset and falling behind.

Selected rookie.

On the Eagles side, the coaching staff, the boss, and Liu Mang who came with them all had bright faces. Liu Mang also took a stack of scouting reports and went to look for the rookies he was interested in and watch their trials.

It's just that what Liu Mang is looking at is not the same group of people as the draft candidates he wants to submit to Coach Kruger.

Liu Mang is also a human being, and of course he also wants to watch the trial training of talented stars whose talents can be seen with the naked eye!

There was a joint trial in the morning, and in the afternoon there was a competition for the 13 members of Little Green Room to show off their abilities.

The joint trial training is divided into three areas. They are located at the competition venue of the United Center. Most of the seats have been removed and divided into several areas. There are various equipment or running tracks. The physical fitness is displayed here.

There are also two training grounds, one for skill and shooting demonstrations. More than 100 invited rookies will demonstrate their abilities in groups according to the order of the draw. They will start in three areas at the same time and then change venues.

.

It's quite troublesome, so a team needs a lot of people to directly see the performance of several players that their team likes.

Liu Mang turned around and saw James and Anthony who were warming up together before the trial training!

"Wow, Ace, I didn't expect you to be here! Long time no see!" James saw Liu Mang coming up and gave him a warm hug, "Ace, this is Mero, Mero, this is Ace, my brother.

"

James hasn't even entered the NBA yet, but he has already begun to demonstrate his social skills like a social butterfly.

"OH, LeBron, long time no see." Liu Mang also gave him a warm hug. Although they are future rivals, they belong to the same endorsement brand, so it's not like they can't be friends.

Although the relationship with the little blacksmith is bad, the relationship is not that big. The alliance is so big. If the other person has a good character and other aspects, there is no need to be red-eyed.

But he didn't know Anthony that well, so Liu Mang just shook hands: "Hello, I'm Ace."

"Hello, I'm Carmelo Anthony." Anthony, who is not as active as James, smiled shyly.

"Ace, are you here to help your team select players? I heard that your draft vision is very good. I'm curious about the Wade you suggested the Cavaliers draft. By the way, which rookie are you interested in this year?

"With the two of us plus Wade, you definitely can't choose. Why don't you take us to see it together?" James said the matter without any grudge.

The last thing James said is also what other teams want to know. Who does Liu Mang want to watch for training? Some teams are even ready to focus on Liu Mang as a rookie in the first round.

I grabbed it directly in the latter part.

Liu Mang looked at James, who had a very mature personality from the beginning. Perhaps this was also an innate talent!

"Dwyane is a great player. You can get to know him better. He is from the same company as me, but today I mainly came to watch the trial training of some of your top picks. I am not interested in anything else.

Liu Mang laughed.

Liu Mang already has recommended candidates. Let's do trial training. If some talents who have been buried can really show their abilities through trial training, they will not be buried in the second round or even lose the draft. The draft is nothing more than

It is to select players with immediate combat ability and bet on talent. Every year, there are only a few players who can counterattack from being unfavorable. Liu Mang uses the ones he knows can rise, and they will not be affected by too many other influences, so they can rise easily.

Just hand over the player list to Coach Krueger.

The trial training, of course, depends on James! Look at this trial training of a man with super physical fitness who may be the only one in NBA history.

"Really? Oh, Ace, we are brothers, just tell us who you want to choose!"

"You haven't gone to the Cavaliers yet! You want to help the Cavaliers get information from me? Unfortunately, the Cavaliers' second round this year has already belonged to our team. Our team's cool guy Ira New

Bale will be your teammate next season."

"What if Dwyane is drafted by the Cavaliers?"

"You are so dishonest..."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang and James chatted and joked for a while, and then James and Anthony were called away by the staff to draw lots and take photos.

Tryouts are still very troublesome and stressful for rookies. There are only more than a hundred rookies participating in tryouts. In addition to reporters, NBA official camera crews, coaches and management from other teams,

There are about two hundred people there, and you can imagine the pressure of trying out in front of these people who decide your future destiny.

Liu Mang wandered around for a while, and some trial training had already begun. In the middle, Liu Mang met Wade and several unknown rookies led by his agent Schwartz. Although Schwartz had the income of a first-line agent

, but it was all supported by Liu Mang alone. When competing with the big-name agents for the predicted lottery picks, they didn't get any of them. Only Wade relied on Liu Mang's suggestion to sign.

Liu Mang and Wade had met yesterday and got to know each other. As a senior, the advice he gave Wade was to relax, and he couldn't help much else.

…

About half an hour later, at 9:30 in the morning, all preparations continued, and the three major areas began their own trial training.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang came to the physical fitness display area of ​​the main stadium. This is what he wanted to see most, to see a group of men with "beast" level physical fitness display their talents.

James is undoubtedly the one who gets the most attention. With his point guard-level speed, forward-level strength, power forward's body, and such a body, he is not supposed to have flexibility. He is a perfect specimen of a basketball genius.

, Liu Mang even heard the exclamation of an acquaintance wearing the Cavaliers logo who happened to be next to him, the former Eagles star Paul Silas who had just become the Cavaliers head coach.

Wade's trial training also attracted a lot of attention. Seeing Wade's explosive power and short-distance explosive speed, some teams that were not invited to Wade's trial training in advance secretly lamented that despite his reputation, he was really worthy of his reputation.

.

There were also trials with Bosh, Anthony, Milicic and others, and they all received extremely high praise.

After seeing these hot spots, Liu Mang walked around and saw a guy who made him feel that he was no slower than Iverson. He conducted a sprint test. One hundred and ninety-nine point three-six yards was considered a long test.

It's a 100-meter run.

Leonard Barbosa ran a speed of 10.58 seconds. This speed talent is simply amazing. He is not a professional sprinter, but he actually ran a speed that can only be achieved by domestic first-class track and field athletes.

Liu Mang felt sorry for Barbosa. He looked at the scout report in his hand: average skills, poor defense, relying solely on speed and confrontation at the basket, and certain shooting ability.

This evaluation is almost exactly the same as Liu Mang's understanding of Barbossa.

Liu Mang regretted for a moment why Barbossa didn't practice track and field with such a good speed talent, and then left.

The assistant coaches of other teams who followed Liu Mang around saw that Liu Mang had stayed for such a long time for the first time except for popular players, and they all wrote Barbosa's name in their notebooks.

When Liu Mang saw some of his favorite players, he just glanced at them and left, mainly because his performance in several trials was really poor...

There was more than two hours of large-scale trial training in the morning, and in the afternoon I watched the 13-man draw group match in the Little Green Room. The day's joint trial training ended.

After returning to the hotel, it was another meeting.

After Liu Mang experienced the work of the team's summer decision-making group this time, he finally felt the hard work of a team management team, which really held meetings all day long.

Liu Mang gave Coach Kruger a list of several rookies he wanted the team to select.

If it comes to who the team trades, the management will be reluctant to point fingers at the players, but as for Liu Mang's draft vision, the Eagles management can only say - convinced!

Price and the coaching staff huddled together, eager to see who Liu Mang was interested in.

Then the more I looked at it, the more worried I became...

A handsome guy, but his physical fitness is too poor. Apart from shooting, his other skills are too poor!

He has good skills and good physical fitness, but his looks are too... too much!

…

…

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was Game 6 of the battle between the Nets and the Spurs.

After the Spurs defended two consecutive home games, they lost two consecutive away games. Only then did people really feel that this year's Nets were indeed much better than last year, and they actually won two games.

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, with only two players from the Spurs scoring in double figures, the Spurs won with Duncan's double-20 performance that has become a habit in this year's playoffs, defeating the Nets 89-82.

This game has the largest point difference in the previous five games. In the first four games, there was no difference of more than 4 points. Especially in the second game, the Spurs defeated the Nets 77-76, but the Spurs had Duncan.

The mid-range shot was hit at the critical moment, but the Nets didn't have the final say, so it can only be said that their fate was bad.

Arriving at the Nets' home court today, Duncan didn't give Kidd another chance. He played the most invincible game in this year's Finals, scoring 22 points, 23 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks. He was two blocks short of a quadruple-double, leading the Spurs.

The team defeated the Nets 85-75 and won the championship 4-2.

…

After Liu Mang watched the last game of the Finals in a hotel in Chicago, he lamented that Duncan was still in his peak period after undergoing meniscus suturing surgery and his bounce was much reduced. If it hadn't been for that serious injury, he would be in his twenties and eighties now.

How strong should you be in your peak years?

The system rated Duncan as a "born king", and it was not for nothing.

Looking at the TV screen showing an unhappy expression on Kidd's face at home, Kidd was certainly not angry because the Nets almost lost the game by three points and four points in the previous few games.

When Liu Mang saw Kidd being so unhappy and unhappy, he scolded her, then turned off the TV and carried Dinah, who insisted on watching the game with him, but fell asleep watching such a boring game, to his bed.

At the door of Via's room, he knocked on the door and handed it to Levia, then returned to the room to wait for the good news about the team.

After the joint trial training, the team management and coaching staff will immediately go to Atlanta to start trial training and subsequent trade negotiations.
