At the end of the game, Ingram scored six of the eight points himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his offensive explosiveness surprised everyone to see. His shots can be dribbled and shot by himself, or he can shoot when he catches the ball. With and without the ball, it's all hand-to-hand. And he can also dribble and break through, and his height allows him to get to the basket in just two steps after a dribble.

"Hey, bro, you two are very nice." At the end of the game, Xiao Nansi, who was a teammate in a game, came over and said to Zhao Wei and the two with a smile.

"Well, thank you very much, that's all for our tryout today. We really appreciate the talent of both of them. We'd love to pick two of them and we're going to work hard for them. Wharton said with a smile.

"Thanks, Coach. We also really want to play for such a great team. Zhao Wei and the two said politely. Wharton was able to tell them that he was already giving them a high promise.

Next, under Kupchak's arrangement, Zhao Wei and the Lakers had dinner together before leaving. However, Britney did not follow the two of them, but suddenly answered a phone call during the meal and left in a hurry.

In the following time, Zhao Wei and Ingram did not spend much time training together. Because all Ingram has to do now is gain weight, which is not too time-consuming, so he has also started tryouts for other teams while gaining weight like crazy. In this way, he can not only learn the method of scientific training, but also be able to maintain his competitive condition through trial training. And Zhao Wei used this time to completely soak in the power room. Although some techniques also need to be trained, Zhao Wei knows that this is the most important thing for him. Ever since he repeated that strange dream one after another that month, every time he woke up, he felt a subtle change in his body, and his body grew stronger day by day. Judging from the results of each training session, you can fully trust your feelings.

There hasn't been much of a big deal going on during this time, and probably the only one who has made headlines is Ben Simmons, the high-profile prospect this year. He turned down all the team's requests for tryouts, which was a big surprise. Why should such a praised talent be hidden? Such a move has greatly annoyed many managers, and the most annoyed is undoubtedly the manager of the 76ers. Because Ben Simmons also turned down their invitation. You must know that treating your future owner like this can no longer be described as rude.

......

Time flies, and on June 24, 2016, this year's draft at Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn, New York kicked off.

Zhao Wei and Ingram have been together since yesterday, and at the start of the draft, the two sat together, waiting for the official start of the draft.

Zhao Wei sat there with the rookie list in his hand, and two names caught his eye. Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin are from China.

"Oh? Another Chinese player is ready to enter the NBA? Zhao Wei said in his heart, and at the same time, there was a surprise in his heart, for the growth of the Chinese national team in recent years. After they lost Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, they completely fell to the bottom. It can't even be hegemonic in Asia. Such a performance once disappointed Zhao Wei. But then they made bold reforms, firmly used newcomers, and succeeded in getting their revenge last year. Won the Asian Championships again, and also got the Olympic ticket ahead of schedule.

Zhao Wei was no longer shaken by the doubts in his heart. There was always a wish in his heart that he had not fulfilled at the beginning. So he has to be selected in this draft so that he will get noticed.

......

At the same time, the domestic Tencent Sports Channel is doing live broadcasts passionately, because Zhou Qi, the "big devil" who has very high expectations in recent years, is going to participate in this year's draft. Zhou Qi's father also came to the studio.

Father Zhou and his affirmative tone gave the host a shot in the arm. At this time, countless people staring at the screen were waiting for Zhou Qi to be selected in the first round. Dad Zhou's follow-in Yao Ming's footsteps made countless fans cheer.

......

Xiao Hua finally walked out and began to speak, and Zhao Wei also put down the list in his hand. Everyone stopped the noise. At this moment, they all knew that the draft had begun. This is the moment they know the turning point that made their fate. At this moment, you either sink or succeed. Of course, there are miracles, but there are too many miracles, so they are not called miracles.

After Xiao Hua's speech, he announced the start of the draft and gave the 76ers, who won the top pick, five minutes to think about it, and then left.

Everyone present knew in their hearts that in fact, the team had already been screened before, and this was just a formal etiquette. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiao Hua to walk out again. It was not surprising to announce the results of the 76ers' draft. The 76ers chose Ben Simmons.

Zhao Wei patted Ingram on the shoulder, wanting to comfort him.

Ingram was not as disappointed as he imagined, and turned his head to smile at Zhao Wei.

Now it's time for the Lakers to choose. Ingram's heart was also nervous at this time. Zhao Wei also clenched his fists.

"The Lakers have chosen Brandon Ingram." When Xiao Hua said this, Ingram stood up suddenly, although his expression looked very calm, but Zhao Wei knew that he was actually very excited. Ingram hugged every one of his relatives and friends present, and of course Zhao Wei was naturally among them.

"Brother, I'll wait for you." When Ingram was holding Zhao Wei, in Zhao Wei's ears, the voice was small, but it was extremely sincere.

"Thank you, brother. Congratulations. Zhao Wei also sent his blessings.

Ingram left, only Zhao Wei was left on the table, of course, Dong Minghui, Lucy and Ingram's parents, Uncle De did not come, because he and Della didn't know where to travel, and Dong Wenhao had no choice but to take charge of the family's business.

At the beginning of the draft, although there were some small waves, the draft order did not change much.

The Celtics selected Jaylen Brown. The Suns drafted Bender, a player who was able to achieve such a pick in line with Porzingis' success last season.

Soon, it was the 20th pick to the Indiana Pacers, and they selected Carris LeVert.

At this time, in the relaxed atmosphere of the Lakers conference room, everyone was talking relaxedly. Because the draft situation on the outside is basically the same as they predicted before. They just have to wait to take Zhao Wei off at the 32nd pick, and then their draft can end smoothly. As for trading, they didn't think about anything like that at all.

Bang!!! Laughlin rushed into the conference room with an anxious face.

"Laughlin, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Kupchak smiled happily.

"Oh no, manager, no." Laughlin said breathlessly, apparently in a hurry. This can't be rushed, the draft will say that it's very fast, if it's slow, then it's really big.

"What's the matter?" Kupchak asked.

"I just spoke to Britney on the phone. Coach Popovich of the Spurs asked for all of Zhao Wei's materials from Coach K. I think they wanted to choose Zhao Wei. Laughlin spoke much more smoothly.

"What! How could Coach K agree to give him the information? Xiao said urgently.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Laughlin interrupted.

"Manager, what should we do?"

"Popovich, this old guy, although sometimes annoying, but his eyes are very vicious. He is interested in Zhao Wei, which shows that our judgment is not wrong. Kupchak stroked the non-existent beard on his chin and said calmly as a man of the world. As he spoke, the 21st pick had already begun to be shown on television, with the Atlanta Hawks selecting DeAndre Bembry.

With this report, Kupchak could no longer maintain his composure just now, and quickly said: "Give me the order table." ”

Kupchak took the chart and relaxed his nervousness slightly. The Spurs were the 29th pick in the first round. If you want to snipe him, you have to get a higher pick than him. When he saw the Hornets and Raptors, Kupchak turned over directly. At such moments, he knew that if he made a trade, these guys would be going to open their mouths. When he saw the Celtics, Kupchak paused slightly, but then turned over. Joke, make a deal with that guy from Angie, it will definitely be worse. This guy is a vampire. His eyes lit up when he saw the Phoenix Suns. His fingers kept tapping on the table, and he thought with his eyes closed.

Soon, when the twenty-third pick was announced, Kupchak opened his eyes and quickly made a call.

Ryan McDonagh's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hey, Mitch, what's the matter?" Call me at such a busy time. ”

"Hehe, isn't this an old friend's greeting, how are your draft preparations?" Kupchak laughed.

"There are a few picks in the draft, but none of them can catch up with your one." Ryan sighed on the phone.

At this time, the twenty-fourth pick has already begun to be announced.

Kupchak knew that Ryan, the old guy, would never let go, and was the first to speak: "Ryan, we are very interested in your 28th pick. ”

"Oh?" Ryan seemed surprised and continued, "What an honor. We've also observed a very good player who is ready to pick him up with the 28th pick. If we don't pick him, it will be a huge loss to our team. ”

Kupchak secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, which was clearly telling himself, my asking price is very high, and you still have to trade, so you should prepare the number.

Kupchak believes in his own ability and vision, just as he traded for Gasol in the first place, so he gritted his teeth: "How is Lu Williams?" ”

"Huh? Mickey, you're not authentic. Trading is about win-win situations, and you know that we have Bledsoe, Booker, Knight, Thorton, and so on on the defensive line. You also stuffed me with a defender. Ryan dissatisfied.

"He's got the best sixth man." Kupchak pitched.

'He's very good at scoring, but off the bench, we need a player who can organise the whole team. And his ability to create chances for his teammates is too poor, and his scoring efficiency is low. Ryan refused.

Kupchak complained in his heart, although Williams has these shortcomings, but he is not so powerful, Ryan is obviously deliberately exaggerating to lower the price, but he can't refute it, the fire in his heart.

"I propose a win-win deal, cash to buy the sign. 10 million. Kupchak almost gritted his teeth and said this.

As soon as he said this, he heard Ryan's side stunned. Then I heard Ryan say, "OK." Ryan is still very happy that this deal is completed. There are really not many players with great potential in this year's players, and they have basically been selected. Their mission was actually over when Bender was drafted with the fourth pick. The later selection is basically fishing in troubled waters, and if you really touch one, you will make money. If you can't touch it, it's equivalent to a cheap labor force for the team. If you can get some cash, then you can settle some rookie contracts for the average rookie, so why is it a good deal to make money for nothing.

"But I have one condition." Kupchak spoke suddenly.

"Okay, you say." Ryan was a little unhappy, but businessmen wouldn't give away their business.

"We need to add an additional clause. That is, we only guarantee 5 million, and the rest if he can make the second team of the rookie, then we will give you another 3 million, and if he makes the first team, then we will give you the remaining 2 million. Kupchak said that he had made an insurance policy for his side. If Zhao Wei really can't play talent, they can also lose a little less. It's not like they haven't experienced such a failure, just like the Chinese tall guard Sun Yue they signed back then, with amazing talent, who was favored by superstars such as Kobe Bryant and Paul, but in the end they didn't realize their talent.

"If we make the first team, we ask for a price of 12 million." Ryan said. It's not that he's talking too much, it's that Ryan has heard that Kupchak is genuinely eager to get this spot. With this opportunity, he will naturally strive to earn more. But he doesn't ask too much, and 12 million is the highest price he expects Kupchak to afford.

There was a moment of silence on the phone. Kupchak's voice sounded a few minutes later: "Okay, deal." ”

"Okay, refreshed." Ryan said happily, "Now tell me which player you're going to pick." ”

......

"Whew, it's finally done." Kupchak put down the phone and lay down in his chair tiredly.

Hearing his words, the Lakers were also relieved. (To be continued.) )
