Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tryout for the Lakers
"Ah, manager, where are you going? Aren't we talking about things? Ralphlin looked at Kupchak with a confused expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kupchak was so angry at this time. Why didn't he find out that Laughlin was such a person with no eyesight? But he still tried to be as calm as possible and said, "No, no." Let's talk about it first. We're not important, and it's not too late to talk about it next time. I'm going to have dinner with Luke Wharton tonight. ”
"Really?" Hearing the name Luke Wharton, Lovelin immediately became excited, completely forgetting his previous plan, "Then let's finish our work and go together." Britney, you go too. ”
Laughlin's words made both Britney and Kupchak sweat. I'm speechless.
"Hello Mr. Kupchak, I'm the team doctor at Duke University, and Zhao Wei and Ingram are both members of our team." Britney saw that Laughlin had forgotten her previous agreement with herself, and glared at Laughlin with disdain, she had been so sincere in letting herself help her tease Kupchak, but now it has changed in a blink of an eye. Although women are fickle and women themselves, they are not as fickle as Laughlin.
"Hey, hey." Laughlin smiled embarrassedly, "Manager, this is Britney, my good friend, and she also has an identity, which is the team doctor at Duke University. This time I came here because of Zhao Wei's matter. ”
Kupchak glared at Laughlin as if warning, and quickly shook hands with Britney again, saying, "Oh, hello Miss Britney, I was slacking off before. ”
"It's okay. Laughlin is to blame for this. Britney glared at Laughlin as well.
Laughlin suddenly felt that the two had suddenly become an alliance, and he had become an enemy of society, and sat there aggrieved, looking at the two with resentment.
Both of them are very familiar with Laughlin, and they don't eat her at all.
"Mr. Kupchak, you should have read Zhao Wei's information, right?" Britney was the first to speak.
"Yes. A very good kid indeed. With his level, if he had been able to grow at that pace, I think he would have been selected in the middle of the first round or even in the lottery. But ......, hey, it's a pity. In the end, Kupchak sighed with some regret.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Laughlin ran back like no one else, and hurriedly interjected: "Manager, I know that you have also seen Zhao Wei's situation in the last month, so you will be worried about his health, and I can clearly say that not only will you be worried, but all teams will pay close attention to Zhao Wei's evaluation, so this will seriously affect his draft market." And that's what I'm talking about to you. Laughlin finished speaking, and said to Britney beside him, signaling that it was your turn.
"Sir, I can tell you very clearly that Zhao Wei's body is very healthy, he doesn't have any problems with his body, and he can play in a higher league. I know it's hard for you to believe my words alone, so I hope you can arrange a full test for Zhao Wei. He really wanted to play for the Lakers, and he even told me at one point that he wouldn't have the motivation to play if he couldn't join the Lakers. Britney said solemnly to Kupchak.
Kupchak didn't speak, his brow furrowed in thought. Britney and Spears looked at each other, and they knew that Kupchak was thinking, so they didn't bother him.
Eventually, Kupchak's brow loosened, and he said to Britney, "Okay, I agree with your proposal, but if he passes the test, he must join our Lakers." And you have to be present when you test. ”
Seeing that Britney didn't immediately agree, Kupchak raised his eyebrows, and an expression of displeasure immediately appeared on his face.
"Don't be angry, sir, I didn't mean that. I'm just worried that someone will get in the way. Britney said worriedly.
"Huh." Hearing that it was for this reason, Kupchak smiled relaxedly, "You don't have to worry about these things. We can still do this. ”
"Okay, nice to work with." Britney smiled and held out her hand.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Kupchak shook hands with Britney, then looked at Laughlin on the side, and pretended to be displeased, "Laughlin, it turns out that you have set me all this up, and you have sent all your own family in." ”
"Manager, you're wrong. I, Laughlin, never trade at a loss. My own family is strong. Someday you'll thank me. Laughlin smiled, but what didn't make Laughlin think was that the day would come so much earlier.
"Manager, are you going to meet our charming head coach now? Take me with you. Laughlin said when he saw that the matter was perfectly resolved.
"Hahahaha." Kupchak suddenly laughed and said, "That's how I got out just now. Haha, but, let's go. Two beautiful young ladies, I invite you to dinner. ”
When Kupchak and Laughlin arrived at the restaurant, they happened to see a man in the distance.
"Hello, Coach." Laughlin's mad dog ran over and greeted him warmly.
Wharton got up a little embarrassed, not knowing who the woman in front of him was.
Kupchak and Britney both exhaled helplessly and walked over.
"Wharton." Kupchak said.
"Oh. Hello manager. Wharton said when he saw Kupchak.
After Kupchak's introduction, Wharton finally knew who this overheated beauty was. Since the four of them met, they had dinner together. At dinner, there was a conversation between a pair and a match. I didn't talk too much about the team, I just said that the team would have a tryout for rookies.
At the end of the meal, Britney asked curiously, "That Wharton is your new coach, he looks so young." Is there such a young coach in the NBA right now? Looks like your manager is very polite to him. ”
Laughlin's chest lifted, and the plump **** even trembled twice due to inertia, and said angrily: "Of course." He is the most popular coach this year. If I want to talk about his history, I will have to tell you about it for a day. ”
"Do you like people?" Britney asked suddenly, catching Laughlin off guard.
"Yes, yes. But a little princess has just been born in the family. Ah, you stinky girl, what kind of person did you say to me? Do you still want to listen? Lovelin threatened.
"Yes, yes, yes." Britney said coquettishly.
"He used to be a player on our Lakers team, and although he won two championships with the team, he didn't have much to do in his career. But when he retired and became the Warriors' assistant coach, his fame grew. This is thanks to his brilliant mind. This season, in particular, he has been an instant hit. Warriors head coach Kerr missed the first half of the season with a back injury, and Walton took the helm in his place. He led the Warriors to an astonishing 30-2 record. This also laid the groundwork for the Warriors to achieve the best record in history with 73 wins and 9 losses. Laughlin said excitedly, "We finally succeeded in recruiting him with a salary of 25 million for five years during the finals. ”
"Really?" Britney asked, surprised, "What about your Byron Scott?" ”
"You're stupid." Lashlin knocked Britney on the head and said in disgust, "If we can get Ingram and Zhao Wei, with our current lineup, we will get enough talented young blood to assist some veterans to guide their experience, they will grow up, and we will have a bright future." At this time, if you continue to use that bad god, it will not only ruin a bunch of talented young men, but also completely ruin the Lakers. In that case, will you hand over Zhao Wei to me? Laughlin scolded.
"Well, that's right. I'm leaving. I'm going to get the good news to Lucy as soon as possible. Britney understood and left immediately, eager to bring the good news back.
"Remember to ask Lucy to invite me to dinner." Laughlin shouted from behind.
......
"Hey, buddy, did you really get an invitation to a tryout for the Lakers?" Ingram asked excitedly.
"Hmm." got Zhao Wei's affirmative answer.
"Great, then we'll continue to be teammates." Ingram hugged Zhao Wei excitedly. Suddenly, he let go of Zhao Wei's shoulders in confusion and began to look Zhao Wei up and down, "Zhao Wei, have you grown taller again?" ”
"No, I don't. It's your delusion. Zhao Wei laughed.
"No, you come with me." Ingram pulled Zhao Wei towards the power room, "Oh, Zhao Wei, you have really grown taller." Two meters, you have grown taller at this time. Ingram shouted excitedly, pointing to the ruler. He and Zhao Wei came to Duke University at a time, and he began to be very curious about this yellow-skinned boy, and later after having the opportunity to get in touch, he found that Zhao Wei was a very good person to get along with, and the two soon became very good friends.
......
When Ingram and Zhao Wei came to the Lakers training hall, the two looked very uncomfortable and very nervous.
"What's wrong with you two?" Britney asked.
"It's just too big, too luxurious. We've never played in a stadium like this before. Zhao Wei and both sighed, looking like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Britney looked at the two of them in a daze with their mouths open, covered her eyes weakly, and sighed.
"Sister, do you think the two of us are particularly ashamed." Zhao Wei leaned over to Britney and asked, as for Britney asking Zhao Wei to call her that, Zhao Wei originally wanted to call her the same as Lucy, but Britney resolutely disagreed, saying that calling people old would make them old.
"Hmm." Britney nodded honestly.
"Aren't we excited! Besides, we're just kids, so there's something to be ashamed of. Zhao Wei licked his face and said trickly.
"Cut." Britney gave him a blank look and said, "You two will behave well later." Today, the Lakers are doing tryouts for the two of you. ”
"What? Sister, just the two of us? No one else? Ingram came up too.
"Well, it's for confidentiality, and if you two do well, I can guarantee you guys will definitely be drafted by the Lakers." Britney said, patting her chest.
Zhao Wei and both of them set their eyes on Britney's chest-patting hand.
Britney noticed the lustful eyes of the two, and their eyes were horizontal, and one of them rewarded a violent millet. Zhao Wei, who was in pain, screamed and screamed.
"I'm not very old, and I have a lot of thoughts. Hurry up, give me a good performance. ”
"Yes." Zhao Wei and the two said respectfully.
Zhao Wei and the two stood there straight, not nervous, it was impossible. When they heard that the Lakers were trying out the two of them, they were just a little surprised, but when they saw the Lakers' trial lineup, they were directly shocked.
General manager Mitch Kupchak takes the lead, head coach Luke Wharton leads his newly recruited head assistant coach Brian Shaw, as well as strength and conditioning coaches, team doctors, and other players, D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Anthony Brown and Juliette Randle, as well as a few other staff members.
The conversation after the two sides met was very simple, because of the information of Zhao Wei and the two, they already knew each other very well. After just a little pleasantries, the trial began. From this time, Zhao Wei and Ingram were temporarily separated.
Strength and conditioning trainer Tim De Francisco and head assist coach Shaw led Zhao Wei into a room.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Zhao Wei saw equipment being placed one after another, many of which he had not seen before. I have to marvel in my heart, it is worthy of being the world's No. 1 league, and I don't know how much higher this facility is than other leagues.
Shaw and Tim began to test Zhao Wei one by one. Although some tests were unfamiliar and Zhao Wei was full of curiosity, Zhao Wei took them seriously. After a series of studies, Shaw and Tim found that there were gaps in many of Zhao's test scores and reports. These disparities made them all happy.
Because these results are better than the report. The press on his report was originally only a relatively pitiful 84 kilograms, but they tested 96 kilograms, a full 12 kilograms difference, which will show this difference between heaven and earth in the competition. And his reported height is 196cm, and his arm span is 205cm, but after their test, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Zhao Wei's height has reached 200cm, and his arm span has reached an astonishing 215cm, which will be terrifying for the defensive area of such a height and arm span. There are tests like that and so on.
After all the tests were completed, Xiao did not hesitate to write a big B on the report, covering up the original C+.
Zhao Wei was brought back to the court, and at this time Ingram also finished the test and appeared on the court. The two exchanged glances with each other, and their side was very smooth. Zhao Wei also found that Kupchak and Wharton had unconcealed joy on their faces. And when the two looked at the report in Xiao's hand, they looked up at Zhao Wei in surprise, and then nodded with satisfaction. The smile on his face that was already difficult to hide immediately bloomed happily. (To be continued.) )
