Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 100: Training Camp

The "Lion Camel Ridge" three giants were finally defeated by the "Silver Horn King". Nowitzki sublimated his career with the most valuable single-core championship in the new century and brought the Mavericks the first in team history. At the same time as the championship, it also confirmed the position of the first foreign player in the NBA. If you want to have such a great foreign player appear again, maybe you can only look forward to the Chinese male protagonist in the novel.

Before the annual draft conference, each team will set up a training camp, and invite all rookies to come to participate in trial training and interviews. The players participating in the training camp not only practice together, but also play games together. Their performance will affect their performance. Draft prospects, players will demonstrate their shooting, ball handling and physicality to managers, coaches and scouts across the league.

After raising their draft pick to the twelfth pick, the Nets finally had the confidence to invite some popular rookies to come for trial training. Jiang Mingliang's goal was to target Leonard, but out of respect for the rules of the league, he had to invite some players over. Even if it's a smoke bomb?

Power forward Tristan Thompson from the University of Texas, power forward Biyombo from Congo, Braden Knight at point guard, Kemba Walker, these players were also invited by the Nets to try out The roster, along with Klay Thompson, Tobias Harris, Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons, who were previously set to show themselves in the Nets' practice facility.

To Jiang Mingliang's surprise, Owen, who had locked up his status as the No. 1 draft pick, also came to the Nets for trial training.

Jerry West really likes Owen!

Jiang Mingliang, Stevens, and West came to the training camp together. When the three got out of the car, the lights flashed together. Everyone saw the success of the Nets in last year's draft. The goal of the draft is also the focus of many media and reporters.

"Mr. Jiang, do you have a suitable rookie target now?"

"The team is only examining rookies now, and there is no suitable candidate yet."

Jiang Mingliang's attitude towards media reporters has always been very good, but this time, his answer was very cold and he kept his mouth shut.

As soon as the three entered the arena, they saw Kyrie Irving "beating" Braden Knight. At a forty-five-degree angle on the right, Owen's gorgeous dribbling skills captured Knight's attention. Several realistic fake movements had already stirred Knight's center of gravity. Suddenly, he made a breakthrough, and Knight subconsciously turned around to block it. But seeing Owen turn around and take a step backwards, it was too late for Knight to adjust his center of gravity.

A light pull-bar layup, Irving's goal caused applause from the audience. For Irving himself, this kind of compliment has accompanied him throughout his basketball career, and he's taken it for granted.

Some people show off their physical talents in front of the uniforms. After all, physical fitness is the capital of sports. Some people in the front office are struggling to give full play to their shooting talents. Judging from the Nets' game last season, Coach Stevens has a preference for players who are good at shooting. Among the crowd, the most low-key is Leonard, who Jiang Mingliang has already set for Plan A by default.

He also followed the shooters and tried to shoot three-pointers to adapt to the NBA's three-point line, but compared with Thompson, a natural shooter, his adjustment and adaptation were much slower. However, the key is that he did not hide this shortcoming of himself. Although his shooting percentage is less than 40%, which is an extremely poor level in training, he still shoots again and again, trying his best to find accurate shots. Feel, form the correct muscle memory.

To put it simply, he did not regard this trial training as a "gaokao" in his life, but only regarded him as an ordinary training class. Show your defensive skills and use Death Coil to defend others? It's not a game, it's not necessary at all!

If he hadn't done his homework, just watching this trial training, and without knowing the details, Stevens would really refuse to choose Kawhi with the precious No. 12 pick. But after learning about it, he also felt that Leonard's quality was extremely valuable.

That is, after the trial training, Stevens represented the Nets uniform, met with Leonard, and made a promise to him on behalf of the team that as long as Leonard was not selected by the previous team, the Nets The team will definitely take him 12th overall. At the same time, Stevens also said that he is very much looking forward to working with Leonard on the Nets.

On June 24th, the 2011 NBA draft was held as scheduled at the Dison Square Garden Arena in New York, and was broadcast by ESPN nationwide. NBA teams will select suitable players from the shortlist to join the team in the order of the previous lottery. For teams at all levels of the league, the importance of the draft is self-evident. Why can't Garnett recruit decent helpers during his prime? In addition to the lack of attractiveness of Minnesota itself, is it because the Timberwolves played yin and yang contracts and were fined five first-round picks, which caused the team to miss out on potential rookies?

Soon, this draft will start under the auspices of NBA President David Stern~www.NovelMTL.com~ In fact, the final result of the draft every year is almost predictable. Like Jiang Mingliang who exploded last year The cold choice of George is very rare. Of course, there are bound to be accidents, but not many. This year, because of the labor-management agreement, it was originally a small year, and the rookies who participated in the election were mainly based on immediate combat power, so each team checked and filled the gaps according to their own lineups, and there would not be many accidents.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers selected..." Stern spat on purpose at this point, looked at the people in the audience, and continued to read, "Guard Kyrie Irving from Duke University .Congratulations, lad!"

Although many things have long been known, happiness is inevitable when it really comes. It's like a candidate taking the college entrance examination. After reading the answers after the exam, they probably already know what range of scores they are in and which schools they can apply for. But when the admission notices from Tsinghua University and Peking University are handed over, who can really restrain them? joy.

Off the court, Irving put on his Cavaliers hat after hugging his father and the people in his team, and walked towards the podium with his head held high. For Irving, Cleveland is not a good place, and the Cavaliers are not always suitable for his team, but who can guarantee that Irving can not lead the team from the ashes like George did last year?

The Timberwolves, who have high draft picks every year and take the initiative to remove a wrong answer for other teams every year, continued to do good things this year, choosing Derek Williams, the most unpopular 3-4 swingman in the league today. Looking at the same type of Jeff Green, Beasley's struggles in the league, and thinking about the Timberwolves' tireless teaching, I can only say, good luck to Derek Williams!
