"Nice, Lee, this is a phased victory. We got the promise of having the first round six pick to sign the Hawks. I have to admit that your performance today is really great. If you keep going, we will succeed!"

Leon Rose was very happy to receive the first round promise from the Hawks general manager.

Although the Hawks' two first-round picks this year are signing after the top five picks, they are willing to make a promise that Leon Ross will release the news at that time. At that time, if you want to choose Li Yuan, who is under the Hawks, may trade the draft pick upwards.

At the same time, those who hold draft picks before the Hawks, that is, these top five picks, may also be more interested in Li Yuan.

Although the Magic, who now has the No. 1 pick and the Bobcats, who have the No. 4 pick in the first round, will definitely choose Howard and Okafor, and the Bulls, who have the third pick, have also expressed a strong interest in signing Ben Gordon, the Clippers, who have the second pick and the Wizards, who have the fifth pick, have not yet clearly stated who to choose. Especially when the Clippers were trying out with Livingston and Li Yuan, they did not decide whether to choose Livingston or Li Yuan. This shows that they were very hesitant and had not yet determined who to choose. Before the draft, Leon Ross revealed the news that the Hawks were going to choose Li Yuan to the Clippers' management. If they didn't do it well, they would intercept the liar in advance.

In short, with the promise of the Hawks general manager, the trial training during this period has made some progress.

Of course, Leon Ross did not reveal this news. Judging from the content about Li Yuan reported in the newspaper the next day that night, the Eagles' management only expressed their appreciation for Li Yuan and did not give up what they had already promised.

They are also afraid of attracting more teams' attention to Li Yuan... They may have to pay more costs by then.

So it is better not to reveal this news.

This is also the common attitude of the management of ordinary teams before the draft. They will not reveal too much of their intentions, so as not to be intercepted by other teams.

Even if the Bulls only tried out Ben Gordon as a defender after the joint trial, they have not yet admitted in front of the media that Ben Gordon is their goal in the draft this year.

However, the video of Li Yuan crushing Hansen in a one-on-one challenge was still circulated, which caused a lot of discussion.

After all, Hansen has been playing in the NBA for a year. Although his strength is just a water dispenser, Li Yuan can still explain some problems when he defeats Hansen so easily.

So far, there is only one team that has revealed their feelings... Orlando Magic, who holds the No. 1 pick, and after the trial training two days ago, they publicly admitted to the media: "We will use the No. 1 pick to choose Dwight Howard. He is a very rare genius. I believe he will be another outstanding core of the Magic. Of course, it will take time!"

After the Magic team's management made a statement, news immediately leaked, saying that Adidas was in contact with Howard and they offered a three-year, 30 million sneaker contract for the latter!

This contract looks small, at least it is a big gap from the 7-year 90 million signed by LeBron James last year. But it must be said that there has always been a saying in the NBA sneaker market called "the insider does not sell shoes", which means that the sneakers endorsed by insiders are not popular.

There is nothing we can do. Generally, the height of the center is much higher than that of ordinary people. At the same time, the center's sneakers are also very heavy, so ordinary fans are not comfortable to wear.

This also led to few center's shoes selling well.

Under such circumstances, Adidas still issued a sneaker endorsement contract worth tens of millions, which shows how optimistic they are about Dwight Howard!

For a time, Dwight Howard, an 18-year-old talented high school student from Atlanta Christian Academy, became the focus of hot discussion among fans.

...

At the same time, Li Yuan and Leon Ross continued their trial training path, and their next stop was the Toronto Raptors.

"Boss, you've finally arrived!"

When Chris Bosh heard that Li Yuan was coming, he came to pick him up. When he officially saw Li Yuan, he was so excited that he came up and gave him a big hug.

Li Yuan once again felt the changes in Chris Bosh's body this year. With just a simple hug, he could feel the hardness of his entire muscles. Compared with a year ago, he was really much stronger!

Li Yuan also felt the popularity of Chris Bosh in Toronto now. Just when he went out from the airport to the parking lot, Chris Bosh signed at least 6 fans, and the number of fans taking photos of him was even greater.

Chris Bosh, who hasn't seen for a year, has become a little star in Toronto!

Of course, this may also be related to the news that Vince Carter is "going to leave".

After Li Yuan learned the internal news from Leon Rose that day, he also paid a little attention to the news about Vince Carter, and even looked for the news reported by these media in the past about Vince Carter. He found that after the new general manager of the Raptors, Babkoba, the news about Vince Carter wanting to leave gradually increased, and this increase was not obvious. Unless he was so particular about Li Yuan and carefully compared it, he would not find it at all. However, as time went by, the number of reports on "Vinclough is leaving" brought about by this increase has become larger and larger. Even now, the quantitative change has caused a qualitative change. Many media have already interpreted the relationship between Vince Carter and the Raptors. If this goes further, it will inevitably have a more disadvantageous impact.

It’s just a pity that Li Yuan still didn’t see Vince Carter taking any action, and he still didn’t defend anything. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer reports about him. Now most of the reports related to him are circulated from the Raptors’ management and "friends" around Vince Carter…

While news about Vince Carter's departure is getting more and more intense, Chris Bosh, a new star who performed very well in the rookie season, will naturally be more popular with Toronto fans.

This can be seen from the number of fans taking photos and signing photos on him along the way. Toronto fans are already trying to transfer more likes to Chris Bosh.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to get this level of popularity just a rookie.

Just like Li Yuan was in the University of Georgia for three years, and he was really allowed to be signed by seven or eight autographs all the way in school, it was just after he told the media that he wanted to win a championship for the University of Georgia.

It can be said that the city is forgetting Vince Carter.

When Chris Bosh took Li Yuan to travel around the Toronto city, the number of posters about Chris Bosh could be seen everywhere along the way also verified this.

Vince Carter hasn't left Toronto yet, but someone has already begun to try to let Chris Bosh replace him!
