After sending away Iverson, Bruce's New York Hans also welcomed several other "big players".

These great players undoubtedly have excellent physical conditions, but these rookies are not the players the New York Hans need.

Stephon Marbury is finally here.

Everyone in China knows about this great player, and with Marbury’s New York registered permanent residence, he is one of the players that both New York teams want. Without him, Marbury is strong enough to win this honor.

When Marbury chose the New York duo, his first choice would definitely not be the unlucky Knicks team, but the popular New York Hans.

Of course, the New York duo currently have different candidates for the point guard position. The Knicks' main point guard is undrafted John Starks. For a foreigner who is also an undrafted player, any fool would know how to choose.

Marbury, but the premise is that Marbury does not fall into the Knicks' draft position. Unless he is traded, otherwise Marbury will definitely not come to the Knicks.

The New York Hans are different.

I would like to explain here that Marbury does not regard himself as inferior to Kidd. Although the New York Hans are currently not bad at point guards, Marbury and his father still decided to give it a try in case the New York Hans lose in 4

The lottery chose him.

To be honest, although Bruce doesn't really like lone wolves like Marbury, if he goes to play in the CBA like in his previous life, he will definitely let his Fire Dragons sign Marbury.

Although Marbury would not be chosen, the New York Hans management still sounded an official tone, saying it needed to consider it.

Anyone looking for a job knows that this definitely means there is no chance.

Marbury and his son came with great ambitions, but left dejectedly.

There is a place to stay. Marbury took another look at the New York Hans logo at the entrance of the Long Island Garden Arena.

You know, you are not the only one in New York. Marbury is now full of deep malice towards the New York Han Chinese.

However, his father, Don Marbury, is still quite open-minded. After all, the New York Hans' starting point guard Kidd performed very well. In addition, he is still a new All-Star player. The team will definitely not treat such an All-Star.

level players in exchange for Marbury.

The management of the team is not a fool. Who would trade the All-Stars for an unknown rookie?

Besides, Stephen hasn't proven himself in the league yet.

After comforting Stephen, the father and son prepared to go to Madison Square Garden for a separate workout with the Knicks.

…

"Ringling..."

In a villa in Philadelphia with a relatively good environment, there was a rapid sound.

"็ Hello Who are you?"

A slightly childish voice came.

"Hello, are you Kobe Bryant?"

Less than 160 kilometers away from Philadelphia, in the general manager's office at the Long Island Garden, Mitch Kupchak made this call specifically to Kobe Bryant.

"Yes, I'm Kobe Bryant."

"I am Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the Han Chinese team. This is how it is. I am informing you to come to the New York Long Island Garden team tomorrow morning to participate in a separate trial training with the New York Han Chinese team..."

"Hey, hey, are you still there?"

After talking for a long time, Mitch Kupchak didn't reply, thinking that there was no one on the other side.

"Yes, I'm still here. Sir, please continue talking."

Kobe looked embarrassed. This was the first time he received a call from his "employer". He would definitely not be able to sleep at night, haha!

Next, Mitch Kupchak gave him a detailed explanation of the details of participating in an individual trial.

This is no wonder Mitch Kupchak. God knows when the "Prince" personally ordered him to invite Kobe Bryant to participate in a separate trial, Mitch Kupchak looked confused. This Kobe has never

The one who jumped out was running around looking through the rookie information in this draft. He was even more confused. The team already had a high school student in Garnett, and this "Prince" was going to get another one.

Come back.

Being too familiar with the urine properties of his "Prince", Mitch Kupchak can be sure that Kobe's "lucky son" is definitely the target chosen by the New York Hans this time.

And he is still the first one. You should know that the prince does not often arrange for himself to specially notify the other party to participate in individual trials.

The last one was Kidd, and the last one was Mourning.

Even Garnett didn't receive this kind of treatment. It's conceivable that Kobe Bryant's future achievements are limitless.

After hanging up the phone with New York Hans general manager Mitch Kupchak, Kobe also looked confused.

Among the teams he had in mind to participate in individual workouts was the New York Hans.

Although New York is a big city, Kobe is still willing to go to the Los Angeles Lakers. After all, it is his favorite team.

In addition to the Los Angeles duo, Kobe also accepted separate workout requests from the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics.

It can be said that Kobe doesn't want to go to any other city except Los Angeles. As for Philadelphia, because it is his hometown, of course he is happy to play for his hometown team.

The Boston Celtics are also quite satisfied with his trial performance, but now they only have Duncan in their eyes. When will it be Kobe's turn?

But what the hell is this New York Hans team?

Come on, I am still a high school student, and I have asked my agent Arne Tellem to contact the team. This is the first time a team has actively invited me.

Kobe's first agent was Arn Tellem, who was not the well-known Pelinka. Tellem was from Philadelphia and had a relationship with Kobe's father. They were considered peers. As early as 1972, Tellem watched

Kobe's father's game.

"Kobe, who is looking for you?"

Father Joe Bryant and agent Arn Tellem asked with concerned faces.

You know, all the rookies participating in the draft are waiting for a call from their respective teams in the league. God knows when they will ask you to participate in a trial training.

The reason why Bruce asked Mitch Kupchak to call Kobe's home phone was because he was afraid that if the Los Angeles Lakers found out, if West went crazy and traded for the top three, Kobe would not be able to come to New York.

Confidentiality is most important at this time.

"It was a call from Mr. Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the New York Hans, informing me to participate in the team's individual trial tomorrow, and I agreed."

God, Kobe still feels like he's dreaming. That's New York, and it's Bruce's team.

Joe Bryant and Arn Tellem were also stunned when they heard that the New York Han Chinese had extended an invitation to Kobe Bryant.

Then there was a burst of ecstasy. Although Kobe had participated in separate workouts with the Los Angeles duo and the Boston Celtics a few days ago, and both of them had given commitments to the draft, commitments are just commitments. There are too many tricks in the draft.

, there are many people who are selected and then traded out, so the New York Hans invited Kobe to participate in a separate trial at this time. No matter whether the final trial result is successful or not, at least there is an insurance, right?

Kobe's agent, Arn Tellem, said before the draft that small cities should not draft Kobe, and if they did, they would not report on it.

The 17-year-old Kobe Bryant won several awards for his performance in his senior year of high school, including Naismith High School Player of the Year, Gatorade National High School Player of the Year, McDonald's All-American, and All-American First Team.

Kobe's high school basketball coach Greg Downer described him as a "dominant all-around player."

In other words, Kobe has the ability to enter the lottery, but he must get teams from other big cities to agree to arrange for him to go on trial training.

Even West, the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, arranged for Kobe to come for a trial training and found that the results were not bad, so he decided to give Kobe a draft commitment.

If you really want to play NBA games as a high school student, the management of any team in the league has no idea. Even if you are selected, you will definitely start from the bench, and you can only slowly work your way up to the starting lineup step by step.

You have to know that it is not unprecedented in NBA history for high school students to participate in individual trials, but no team will take the initiative to invite a high school student to participate in individual trials.

Basically, they rely on agents to go to the respective teams to operate, and then only after obtaining the approval of the team management through relationships can the rookie participate in trial training.
