Tony. Allen dragged his tired body back, and couldn't help but sigh - it's really too difficult to be a professional player.

Tony thinks he's still suffering, and to be honest, his basketball talent isn't much worth talking about compared to those real talents.

He relied on step-by-step hard work to get to where he is today, from a college player to now have a chance to enter the first round of the draft.

But the recent training still makes Tony feel very abrasive.

In the summer of the draft, Mr. Tony thought it was to meet the general managers of NBA teams, shoot commercials, and then go up to David. Stern shook hands......

As a result, this draft summer is completely different from what he expected!

According to Schwartz, "Training hard now is not only about getting good results in the tryouts, but also about laying the groundwork for the upcoming summer league."

Don't underestimate Summer League, those guys who are eager to compete for a place in the NBA will fight harder than ever.

You are not prepared, you are only being abused. ”

There is no way, only hard work.

Moreover, seeing Wayne training so hard every day, Mr. Tony is not good at retreating alone.

Sure enough, putting two people together to train still has the effect of urging each other.

Walking to the door and opening the door, Tony smelled the smell of fried meat.

To be honest, after a long day of training, Tony was already hungry.

Now when I smell the fragrance as soon as I enter the house, Tony can't hold it at all!

He rushed into the kitchen to take a look and found a dinner already on the table.

Since the dietitian has requirements, both Wayne and Tony's diets are strictly planned.

The dietitian packed everything they were going to eat for each meal of the day and put it in the fridge, marked it, and Wayne and Tony took it out and ate it themselves.

When it is said to be cooking, it is actually something that the nutritionist has packed, which is basically chicken breast or beef and various vegetables, and it is fried and cooked.

And because Wayne and Tony need to gain weight differently, it's not just the amount of food they eat, but also the time they eat.

Tony is the normal three meals a day, while Wayne eats five meals a day.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, except for breakfast, Tony and Wayne eat their own meals.

Tony looked at his watch, at this time, Wayne shouldn't have arrived yet.

So......

"Wardfa? Wayne, you're here for me? ”

"yes, thank you for making me breakfast today, Tony.

I know that you are too tired today, and I am idle anyway, so I will help you fry the beef for dinner first.

Also, after today, we're going to go separate for the tryout. The last meal together, even if I take this opportunity to wish you good luck.

By the way, I also squeezed the juice and did it all together? ”

Wayne felt a little weird after saying that...... How did this Nima tell the smell of wine at night......

An exhausted Tony looked at the beef on the table, although at a glance he could tell that it was old and mushy...... But for some reason, Tony felt warm in his heart.

After a tired and hungry day's work, there is a fragrant dinner waiting for me as soon as I get home.

What more bikes?

But when you make dinner, you make dinner, and what does it mean that there are three candles on this table...... Candlelit dinner?

"By the way, before eating, I want to perform a ritual with you, which must be completed while we are not separated yet." Wayne saw Tony bite the hook obediently, and now he was going to start reeling in the line.

"Ritual?"

"Well, in China, if two people have a particularly good relationship, we do a ritual called 'worshipping the son'.

After the ceremony, the two will become sworn brothers. This means that two people are equivalent to brothers, like brothers!

The ritual requires a special candle called 'incense', which is not available here, so I use a regular candle instead.

Would you like to be my sworn brother, Tony? ”

Where has Wayne ever bowed to him, I've only seen it on TV, and his set just now was all patchwork of shrimp.

It's enough to fool Lao Mei.

"This ...... Wayne...... Can I really? Mr. Tony was fooled at once, he thought it was a very serious and important ceremony in China, so he didn't dare to smile.

"I have no relatives and no reason here, but you and I are the closest. If you're not qualified, who can? ”

"Well, I'd love to be your good brother in America, Wayne! It is my pleasure! ”

Then, Wayne and Tony stood side by side and said things like "I don't want to be born on the same day and month, but I want to be born on the same day, the same month, and the same day, and I want to be blessed and enjoy the hardships together."

Chinese may be tired of hearing these words, and they are played every day on TV.

But Tony thought it was fresh, and the whole thing scared him...... So much so that the eyes of this creature looking at the three candles were filled with tears.

"Alright Tony, the ceremony is over. Eat it, eat this steak, you and I are good brothers! ”

"Hmmm! You're one of the few good people I've ever met, Wayne. ”

Wayne breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tony obediently sit down and start eating the browned piece of beef.

Please call me Wei in the future. Big flicker. Kindness!

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for reaching the new bond level, and the bond reward has been unlocked."

At this moment, Wayne's ears heard the exciting system prompt.

Tony took a bite of the beef, took a sip of the juice, and as if he had two bowls of wine, narrowed his eyes, and began to speak earnestly: "Wayne, my good brother. You don't know, I was on the streets of Chicago back then, and that was ......."

"What, Tony, you eat first, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while, and then I'll listen to you talk about Chicago in the evening."

Tony was about to tell the story of his childhood that Wayne had heard so many times that his ears were calloused, when he saw Wayne suddenly turn around and run back to the room.

"Oh...... Oh...... Well, have a good rest. Thank you, Wayne. Mr. Tony shook his head, thinking to himself that Wayne must be exhausted too.

But in fact, Wayne went back to his room to study the reward he had fooled!

After returning to the room, Wayne hurriedly opened the system interface and found the fetters page. Aaron's progress bar has been filled to the position of the first tick mark.

It may be because this feature has not been unlocked before, resulting in a low default value. Otherwise, with Wayne and Tony's relationship, the progress of the bond would never have been so much.

At this time, there is an additional button at the bottom of the page: "Claim the Bond Reward." ”

After clicking to claim, a white light flashed as always.

Wayne was looking forward to it, not knowing what good things he could get from Mr. Tony.

According to the previous introduction of the system, the unlocked items are badges, special moves and shooting animations related to teammates' abilities, and other special features.

Well, as long as it's not Tony. Allen's shooting package is complete, and Nanima must have its own iron attribute.

For example, the three-point shooting rate is -10%...... I can stand it.

Eventually, Wayne was greeted by a brand new badge.

Although it was only at the bronze level, after looking at the description of the badge, Wayne exclaimed!

"Badge: Tough Defend (Bronze, upgradeable).

Effect: Slightly increases the effect of close defense, and slightly increases the effect of close defense on ball carriers. ”

Isn't that what Wayne desperately needs right now?

With not enough strength and weight, Wayne's biggest fear is that he won't be effective in close quarters.

In this day and age, it's hard to earn trust with an interior line without defense.

And in the NBA, it's not so easy to cover up your defensive flaws with blocks.

In the NCAA, Wayne has made 11 hits in a single game. But in the NBA, you only get a few blocks per game.

Well, now with this badge, you can more or less make up for the disadvantage in Wayne's ability!

If the ability is not enough, the badge will make up.

I have to say, this badge is really Tony.

Moreover, this badge is still upgradeable and can be practiced slowly. If you draw another badge to upgrade the essence or something, and upgrade to silver, it's not too cool.

"Earned it, it's worth it!" Wayne happily equips the badge to the newly unlocked equipment slot.

Originally, it was said that the new badge equipment slot would not be useful for the time being, but it turned out that he was not idle for a day.

Speaking of which, this fetter system is simply a miracle!

If you become teammates with those more Liu beep stars in the future and have bonds, then you can't steal badges softly?

And the more powerful stars may have badges with more perverted effects.

For example...... Duncan's master of in-place blocks?

Fragrant, Wayne seems to have found another way to make a fortune.

However, this feature is not invincible.

According to the system narrative, you can only bond with your teammates, not your teammates, and no matter how good the relationship is, it can't be good.

In other words, when the draft is over, Wayne and Tony will not be teammates, and the progress of this bond will come to a standstill for the time being.

Therefore, the progress of the bond is not directly equivalent to the personal relationship.

Despite this small flaw, this feature is already very useful.

Moreover, there are still some things in the bond interface that have not been unlocked, so maybe you can increase your bond value without using a team in the future.

While Wayne was still congratulating himself on unlocking such a useful badge, Jeff. Schwartz was already on a plane to Stillwater and was ready to pick up Wayne and Tony.

Tomorrow, the two of them will begin their trial trip to the United States.

At this time, the NBA Finals battle is imminent, and the carnival of the underdog team has come to an end a few days ago.

The end of the draft draw ceremony and the determination of the draft order also means that agents with rookie players in their hands are going to start busy.

Although Schwartz has Okafor's top candidate, in fact, a player like Okafor is the most worry-free.

He only needs to have Okafor try out with the top three teams in the draft, and nothing else will be considered.

Once Okafor falls out of the top three, he will never hesitate to take Okafor under his wing, no matter who the fourth originally wanted to choose, even if Okafor never tried out for them.

Of course, this is just an assumption. Schwartz won't let Okafor fall out of the top three, and the top pick is still his goal.

The Orlando Magic wanted a big man in this draft, and their target was between Okafor and Howard.

Under the hype of Schwartz, Okafor now has titles such as "Stronger Garnett" and "The Strongest Rookie Interior After Dumbness".

And as far as Schwartz knows, Orlando's No. 1 white-robed genius also conveyed to the management the desire to partner with Okafor.

Maddie has won a lot of individual accolades, four All-Stars, two scoring titles, and four All-Star teams.

So, he's desperately hungry for an even bigger honor now – a championship ring.

In fact, when Maddie chose to join the Magic, she came for the ring.

That summer, the Magic claimed to bring in Hill and Duncan, but Duncan didn't succeed, and the Magic signed the "spare tire" Maddie.

Maddie was about to hug Hill's thigh, but Hill knelt down and never got up.

Maddie, hugging her thighs, finds herself on her thighs......

Although his legs are very thin, he can't help it, and he has to do it hard.

As a result, I haven't even touched the edge of the championship so far.

Since he is going to attack the championship, Maddie must hope to be more mature, that is, the stronger Okafor can join forces with him.

Howard? That guy is a pure talent.

With Kwame. Brown's lesson is that all teams have to weigh the consequences when selecting the top center for high school students.

So, Schwartz doesn't have to worry about Okafor at all.

That way, he can also focus on Wayne and Tony during the tryouts.

Regarding Wayne, Schwartz is no less attentive to him than he is to Okafor.

After all, the value of the market behind Wayne's role is immeasurable if it can be opened.

Since the draft draw came out, several teams have contacted Schwartz in the hope that Wayne can go for a tryout.

The most aggressive of these is the Portland Trail Blazers.

They even made a promise before the tryout: "If there are no major problems, we'll pick Wayne with the 13th pick." ”

It can be said that it is full of sincerity.

In addition to the Trail Blazers, the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics also invited Wayne to participate in tryouts.

The Warriors have the 11th pick this year, and they really want a big man, too.

The Jazz are the 14th pick, and they need players at the No. 4 or 5 pick.

The Celtics were 15th picks, but Schwartz didn't trust Danny too much. Angie.

The reason why the Celtics tried out Wayne is probably simply to pick up the leaks.

Well, don't doubt Angie, he's the one who can do this kind of thing.

Doing the most with the least amount of money is his style.

Of all these teams, Schwartz is most concerned about the Trail Blazers.

The attitude of the Golden State is a little wavering, and they have not developed very well over the years.

Salt Lake City...... It's a good fit for Wayne, but they don't think they can get it in their order.

It stands to reason that Schwartz should now have an in-depth conversation with the Trailblazers.

In fact, he had intended to do the same.

Until he got a phone call a day ago.

A call from Larry. Bird's phone.

Hearing that the Pacers were interested in Wayne, Schwartz initially thought Bird was joking.

After all, the Pacers only have one 29th pick this year.

He also wanted to politely refuse Bird because it would be a waste of everyone's time to take Wayne to Indianapolis for a tryout.

But Bird's attitude on the phone was very tough: "Bring Wayne over, I really want to see how he performs. And I promise you, if we're satisfied, I have a way to get Wayne before everybody.

I've been following him all year now and I've watched every single one of his games. I needed a piece of the puzzle and it was a chance to get him straight to the top. ”

Schwartz knew Bird wasn't lying, because his informant, Sweet, was a scout for the Pacers, and they did observe Wayne for a long time.

So, Bird's phone call made Schwartz also a little swaying.

His addition has made Wayne's market more complicated.
