0111: [Why is it so attractive to old men]
The Golden State Warriors' executive who participated in the tryout startled Bill Duffy.
He originally thought that this was most likely a formality, after all, the powerful New York media had spread the word "Bruce as a weapon to divert the conversation from Isaiah" from the East Coast to the West Coast, and the media and draft prediction network frequently lowered the MOP draft market.
However, when head coach and general manager Nelson Sr., CEO Chris Mullin, head of player affairs Bol, public relations manager Tracy and other senior management personnel lined up in the training hall. Bill Duffy felt the sincerity that came to his face.
"Isaiah Thomas can't wait to find out if our draft picks are traded. So, we don't care what the New York media is saying, and Isaiah Thomas, while he has no managerial talent, does have a talent in the draft. ”
Old Nelson was open and honest as soon as he came up.
The elder Nelson, known as the mad scientist, is the most eclectic head coach among the NBA's top coaches. And his eyes are not limited to black players, he has single-handedly unearthed two white MVPs, Nowitzki and Stephen Nash were both cultivated by him. In fact, he is also inextricably linked to China, and he gave two Chinese players a chance, but sadly... For various reasons, one didn't play, and the other didn't even make it to the NBA.
Now, he's in third place.
"I've seen all the videos of your games. Honestly, you're much more mature than Stephen Nash was in college. So, I sent out a tryout invitation to your agent as soon as possible. ”
Nelson Sr. continued.
It can be seen that he really likes Bruce Lee.
He even talked about that stunner against the University of Oregon and a brilliant pass against Kansas.
In the end, he said very frankly: "I invited you here this time, in fact, I want to test your dynamic data. Because we got multiple reports from Stanford about your physical test. We don't care how good your data is right now, we want to know... Is your progress evident in the process. ”
This made Bill Duffy hesitate. The draft strategy he's been pursuing is... Never expose a player's shortcomings before the draft.
There has been so much negative news now, and if this data is exposed, the draft market will definitely continue to decline.
Despite getting the Lakers' draft promise. But... No one can rule out all the unexpected, what if the Lakers wait for Bruce to fall out of the lottery before making a move?
This can be a huge difference in wages.
"We will keep the data strictly confidential." Chris Mullin seemed to see what Bill Duffy was thinking.
In fact, for the golden left hand, even if he is killed, he will not tell anyone this data. After all, anyone who is not an idiot will look at these numbers with a dynamic gaze.
"Okay, I agree."
Li Zhen made a decision when Bill Duffy was still hesitating.
Then enter the physical testing link.
The dynamic data was quickly released, and the four-point movement in the three-second zone was 11.8 seconds in the professional test. Three-quarters of the time sprint was 3.13 seconds, and the baseline switchback ran 3.03 seconds. There was also 84 kg of bench press, and Bruce gritted his teeth and pushed 2 times... But the second time was very non-standard, so the tester even gave a number like 1.5.
The advantages and disadvantages exposed by this data are very obvious.
But it was enough to overjoye the Golden State Warriors.
Because of the comparison, the progress Bruce has made in these two months is incredible. They have every reason to believe that when Bruce arrives in the NBA, the pace of progress will accelerate.
So... While Bill Duffy was even thinking about getting the Golden State Warriors to commit to never publicizing it again, Chris Mullin had already made a draft promise: "We're going to draft you with our lottery pick in this year's draft." No matter what the final pick of this lotto draw is. ”
This came as a complete shock to Bill Duffy: Another draft promise? What's wrong with these old men?
When he looked up and looked at Old Nelson looking at Bruce Lee with a smile on his face, he felt inexplicably... Weird.
It took a while to remember his agent's role: "As far as I know, the Warriors don't have a shortage of point guards. Not only do you have Byron Davis, who is in his prime, but also Montaelis, a rising star. In addition, in the scoring guard position, there are All-Star level Jason Richardson, defensive titan Petrus and others. I wonder what Bruce can do with the Warriors? ”
"He'll be our future commander and best sixth man." Nelson Sr. gave a very clear answer: "We also need a point guard who can distribute the ball quickly. Running and bombing is not a random run. ”
Forehead....
His righteousness made Bill Duffy unable to find a reason.
He could only nod his head and fall into the trouble of happiness: he was still worried that Bruce would slip into the lotto. Now, try out three teams, and all three teams give draft promises. Isaiah Thomas, that Tie Hanhan, even asked the Golden State Warriors to trade draft picks, isn't this an initiative to give away heads? No wonder the dog who was scolded by the New York media was bloody.
Alas!
Bruce's damn, glamorous, nowhere to put his charm! Why is it so attractive to old men?
Bill Duffy gave Bruce a deep look, he had never felt that tryouts were such an easy thing to do. In the past, I accompanied the players to try out, and I wanted everyone to take care of them. Now accompany Bruce out and see a team, and there is an old man who goes crazy.
There is no killing without buying and selling!
Next, it's time to minimize one-sided tryouts. Unless it's a big city team.
Bill Duffy thought to himself.
And what Bill Duffy didn't know was when the news of Bruce Lee receiving a tryout for the Golden State Warriors reached Charlotte.
Ridge Joe, who officially took over as Bobcats' general manager, quickly convened a draft battle meeting, and the content of the meeting was: What do we do now?
Michael Jordan instructed over the phone: What else can be done? Choose Bruce Lee!!
To this, Ridge Joe completely refused. He stressed to team executives: Anything can be done by Michael, except for the draft. Now that he's got us out of the wrong answer, the rest of us is pretty straightforward. It's how to maximize our benefits!
Now, what we know is... The Golden State Warriors are very bullish on Bruce Lee, and so are the New York Knicks, and Isaiah Thomas even called me to trade draft picks, and he thinks I'm a rookie and cheating. I didn't know that I had already spied on the players he liked in the conversation... It's Bruce Lee!
"Hmph, let's see how I turn this year's draft upside down!!"
Ridge Joe is ambitious, and he is heroic!
