Chapter 344: Good Things Come in Pairs

Li Du and Clay don't care about these things, they just need to be responsible for playing the game well. When all the things on Old Nelson's side were all taken care of, Li Du said happily to Clay: "It's finally waiting for you, Clay!" With your joining, we will be invincible in the world! ”

There is a saying in China that "good things come in pairs", and Li Du just included Klay Thompson, a super three-point shooter who is not weaker than Curry, and gave Li Du another surprise in the player test on the second day.

Every summer, all NBA teams welcome a large number of young people who come to participate in tests and training, in order to be favored by the team and selected for the NBA. There aren't many people like Klay Thompson who don't need to undergo rigorous testing and have direct appointments with the team's coach, and most of them are future stars who have already made a name for themselves in college.

And more young people with basketball dreams are still passing this test to win the appreciation of the team's coaches, and many of them will go through all 30 teams in the league, and as long as there is a little hope, they will fight for it.

Of course, as the leader of world basketball, the United States has a very mature selection mechanism, and there are very few people who have not been famous before the draft, but have soared after entering the league. Li Du is an exception because he didn't play much at all before he entered the league.

Originally, Li Du didn't plan to come to the training hall today, but he didn't have anything to do at home, and it happened that Pritty said that he hadn't been to the Warriors' training hall to have a good visit, so Li Du took her over for a walk, in other words, Li Du actually took his daughter-in-law for a walk.

When they entered the arena and saw that many young people were undergoing various tests, Li Du took Pletty on the sidelines to show her the content of the tests. Pretti wasn't there to see the players tested, she was just visiting the arena, so they then went up to the second floor to see the rest of the Warriors.

When Li Du took Pretty to visit the Warriors training hall and was about to leave, he happened to see this group of young people fighting in groups, which reminded Li Du of the situation when he participated in the Lakers group confrontation, and couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Hey, Jack." Li Du asked the Warriors team side division next to him, "Are there any good seedlings among this group of young people?" ”

Jackett chuckled and shook his head, "Lee, you also know that the really good ones have long been picked by other teams, and we are lucky to have grabbed Klay Thompson this year." The draft is almost underway, and these guys are here because the scouts don't like it. ”

"That's the same thing." Li Du and Jack chatted without saying a word, and they didn't have much hope for the young people in front of them.

Until the end of the group confrontation, Li Du, who was chatting for a day, suddenly fell silent, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes seemed to be staring at the field with a glint in his eyes.

Jackett didn't pay much attention to it, but Pretti knew Li Du's every move very well, and when she saw Li Du like this, she asked, "What, dear, are there really potential stars among these people?" ”

Li Du didn't answer immediately, and observed carefully for a while before saying, "I'm not sure for the time being, but maybe it's an opportunity." ”

As he spoke, Li Du pointed to the arena and said to Jack, "Call that kid over, I want to take a closer look and talk to him." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Li Du, Jack finally determined who Li Du was looking for, then flipped through the player information in his hand, and shouted loudly on the field: "Stop!" Jimmy, you come over first, the others continue! ”

"Yes, sir!" A young black man said yes loudly, ran toward Jackett, and then asked carefully, "Sir, what are you looking for me?" ”

Jack smiled and pointed at Li Du, "It's not me looking for you, it's him looking for you." Know him? ”

"Yes, of course I know!" When the black young man saw Li Du, his voice trembled with excitement, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Du, but as if he was afraid that Li Du would refuse, he stretched out halfway and retracted back, and smiled shyly, "Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”

Li Du smiled and took his hand, shook his hand, and said, "I'm also very happy to meet you, let's go over there and sit down and talk slowly." ”

With that, Li Du and Pritti led the black young man to the sideline and sat down, and then Li Du asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Jimmy, Jimmy Butler, sir!" Jimmy Butler replied loudly.

"Okay, Jimmy." Li Du nodded and continued: "Just now I saw that you have been running at high speed non-stop in the group confrontation, and you are also very active in the scramble, don't you know that in this kind of game of group confrontation, few people will pass the ball to you?" ”

Li Du's question made Jimmy a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, and then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I know what you said, but I have to do it!" ”

Speaking of this, Jimmy paused for a moment, looked at Li Du hesitantly, and then continued: "Basketball is my life, my life, no matter what the situation, I have to do my best for it!" Only then can I live! ”

"Oh?" Li Du smiled slightly, "It seems that you are also a person with a story, can you tell me your story?" ”

After asking this, without waiting for Jimmy Butler to speak, Li Du continued: "I watched from the sidelines for a long time, your skills are actually not good, and your physical talent can only be regarded as good, but your ability to keep running and cutting in the air is very good, I was thinking, the Warriors' starting forward just doesn't have the right person." Jimmy, would you like to play for the Warriors? ”

Jimmy Butler, of course, was willing, he nodded his head with excitement, tears in his eyes, and held Li Du's hand for a long time before he began to tell his story. After listening to his story, Li Du sighed: "This is the real basketball inspirational story!" Jimmy, you're the real genius! ”

Jimmy Butler's background can be described as bleak, his father abandoned him when he was a baby, and at the age of 13, he was kicked out of the house by his mother on the grounds that he was too ugly! It's hard to imagine how a 13-year-old would survive in such a situation! Jimmy spent the next few years staying at a friend's house, changing places several times a week, sometimes sleeping on the lawn outside!

It wasn't until his junior year of high school that Jimmy moved into Leslie's house with the help of his good friend Leslie, and then he began to show his basketball talents. Jimmy may have 10,000 reasons to choose to degenerate and abandon himself, but he has embarked on the most positive and progressive path, until now he is favored by Li Du.

He said that it is precisely because of his tragic background that he must play basketball well in order to make money and live! That's why he's always desperate on the pitch.

And for Li Du, such a teammate who is never tireless on the court just makes up for the last flaw of the Warriors. And this child is also extremely diligent, which makes Li Du even more gratified. People who are willing to train and study hard, have good physical talents, and have such a positive attitude, such a person will definitely not be low in the future!

Looking at Jimmy Butler, who was still excited, Li Du smiled and said to Prett: "This season's championship is mine again!" ”
