NBA tryouts, the general process is the same.

The Bulls' tryout schedule is similar to the previous European joint tryouts.

The difference is the people present.

The Bulls tryout, head coach Tim Flode, general manager Jerry Krauss, and the team's coaching and management team were all present.

After Jordan retired, the former veterans of the Bulls left one after another, and the record was the lowest in the East for two consecutive years.

Last year, with Stern's blessing, they picked Elton Brand with the No. 1 pick.

But this year they weren't so lucky, finishing second to last in the league, but only fourth and seventh picks.

In addition, this year is a small year for the draft, so it is more difficult for them to choose people, and they naturally pay more attention to tryouts.

The trial began immediately, and at this moment, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the stadium.

Bryant.

He didn't leave the arena right now, but went to the shower room to take a shower.

He didn't want to kiss his Vanessa in a sweat.

Klaus was sitting on the sidelines of the court, and when he turned his head to see Kobe, he got up and said hello to him.

Bryant also took the initiative to walk towards him after seeing it.

In the offseason, he spent most of his time in Los Angeles for individual training.

But in May this year, she got engaged to Vanessa and chose to travel to Chicago for the first summer.

Vanessa wakes up late every morning, and he takes advantage of this time to run to the United Center arena to train.

The arena wasn't open in the offseason, and he was looking for Klaus, who called the team's strength and conditioning coach to open the door for him.

This training has been going on for several days.

Someone from the management team next to him gave way, and Bryant sat down and quickly chatted with Klaus.

The Bulls are legendary teams in NBA history, and there are many legends besides Jordan.

This includes general manager Klaus, who is the core of Jordan and Pippen, the new three years, the old three years, and the achievement of two triple championships.

Kobe Bryant has a lot of respect for him.

Similarly, Klaus is full of admiration for Kobe, a scoring guard who looks like Jordan.

The two of them talked about everything, and it was natural to talk about last year's playoffs.

"If you have one more outside shooter who can shoot threes, I think the Lakers can easily complete a dynasty."

Klaus saw it through.

Ron Harper was originally poached from the Clippers, and now that he is older, his defensive ability has declined a lot, and the key is that the outside line is not accurate.

This is also a big reason why the Lakers almost capsized in the Western Conference finals last season.

If they can find a reliable shooter, everything will be a lot easier.

Just like Steve Cole during the Bulls.

The Lakers and Bulls are two different teams, but the same coach has the same style of play, which is nothing more than two superstars.

Kobe Bryant nodded after listening.

As a person concerned, he felt this aspect more deeply.

Regardless of how many points can be scored, if there is a reliable shooter who can open up space for him, the situation of the game will be completely different.

The two of them were chatting, and there was a crisp sound from the audience.

Their eyes were also drawn to the sound.

Now the three-point shooting test is being carried out on the court, and the shooting percentage of rapid fire in one minute.

Two baskets, two people, Sun Hao and Eddie House, one left and one right.

House, an NCAA scoring maniac with accurate three-point accuracy, is not surprising to have this kind of performance.

It's Sun Hao, they didn't pay much attention to it before, especially for Klaus.

The first 30 seconds were evenly matched, but the last 30 seconds began to show a gap between the two men.

The man who fell turned out to be House!

House is iron-clad, and a one-minute high-intensity shot requires a very high accuracy for the shooter, and this is still a trial occasion, and the psychological pressure is also high.

After the last set of shots, Sun Hao completed all the shots and hit them all.

House also finished all of his shots, but two of them didn't go in.

Kobe Bryant also looked at Sun Hao with interest at this time.

When he went out of the training hall earlier, it seemed that this guy's eyes were different from the others.

Sun Hao went to the sidelines to rest after throwing.

Earlier, he was worried that practicing so much in the system would affect his feel, but now it seems that he is worried that it is a little redundant.

Years of training have formed a very strong memory in his muscles, and if he pretends to be a little pressing, he can maintain a high hit rate with his eyes closed.

This is by no means an exaggeration, Jordan pretended to close his eyes and made free throws, Kobe Bryant was blindfolded by Battier every day, and Klay Thompson made eight out of ten three-pointers in the night, all of which are the same reason.

Just then, he saw Reed come on and shoot a three-pointer.

The PK with House just now was the upper hand, but what really scared him was Reed, who should be his biggest competitor in this trial.

The assistant coach on the sidelines pinched his stopwatch and blew the whistle.

But Sun Hao's jaw dropped immediately.

Reed's three-point shot was ...... than he remembered That's a lot.

Not to mention him, the kind that can't even be seen in the taillights of House.

Iron half into half, even worse than Yaric, who played with him.

Sun Hao felt that his cognition had been affected a little.

Playing poorly?

Or is it the same as Ginobili, the projection is the master who only practiced after entering the NBA?

The latter is estimated to be more likely.

Otherwise, the performance of Reed University, even if there are those reasons, will not fall to the second round.

After the basic training, the scene quickly entered the one-on-one session.

Sun Hao's first opponent was Hauss.

It was exactly the same as when we tried out in Europe, and the people in charge of the trials were really in a hurry.

"Michael Reid I've heard that the star player in the Big 10 is a good break."

"Who do you think will win the heads-up between the two of them?"

Bryant was still talking about Reed, but Klaus's attention was already on Sun Hao and House's one-on-one.

The Bulls don't need a pure shooter rebuild, and he's now looking forward to the duo showing what they're capable of in other ways.

"House, he's proven himself in the NCAA."

Kobe Bryant gave his own judgment, he had never heard of any Asian guard playing in the NBA before, to be precise, none of them could play in the NCAA.

The heads-up on the field soon began, with House taking the lead with the ball.

Sun Hao stepped forward directly to rob.

Sliding steps combined with aggressive tackle attempts.

His current defensive style is a combination of Iverson and Paul, pressing against defenders and driving opponents off the basket when facing big men.

House...... Missed the direct dribble.

He's really not very good on the dribble.

Despite scoring like crazy in the NCAA, he is a player with a very high assist rate.

This scene surprised Kobe Bryant on the sidelines.

However, what surprised him was not House's mistake, but Sun Hao's defensive footsteps.

Although it doesn't look very skilled, it's very professional.

Perhaps only those who are very familiar with Kobe Bryant know how much he values his pace.

He also mentioned more than once in the later "Kobe Bryant's Autobiography" that whether it is offensive or defensive, pace is always the most critical factor that determines success or failure.

"What's his name?"

He couldn't help but turn his head and ask.

"Sun Hao, 18 years old, played in Spain before, and he is the double MVP of this year's Champions League and La Liga."

Klaus's assistant replied.

Kobe nodded, with the same expression on his face.

It's not surprising that the U.S. doesn't hear much about Europe, but it's the first time I've heard of an Asian player playing in Europe.

I just don't know if it's Chinese, Japanese or Korean.

While they were talking, the offense and defense on the field had been switched, and Sun Hao saw that House was very pounced, and a change of direction accelerated past House.

House chased after him from behind, flew to block, and the two men faced off in the air.

Sun Hao had the upper hand in the aerial confrontation and steadily put the ball into the basket.

Kobe Bryant showed an appreciative expression at this time.

He doesn't like to express his emotions by talking, so his eyes are colorful even on the field.

The defensive pace in front, coupled with this first step and confrontation, Sun Hao really made him a little interested.

After five goals, Sun Hao only allowed House to score one goal, and the score was 5-1 cleanly.

Bryant was appreciative, and Klaus was surprised.

Although he has a lot of experience, he doesn't know much about European defenders.

His perception of European defenders is similar to that of most teams, well-organized and poorly shot.

It is common knowledge that the Europa League is inferior to the NCAA.

But Sun Hao's performance somewhat refreshed his cognition.

Two scorers who look similar in style, House, an NCAA guard, was blown up by Sun Hao, a European guard......

After all the one-on-one plays, in addition to Sun Hao, there is also a defender who has a particularly outstanding performance is Reed.

Compared to the previous three-point shot, Reed showed a different level of performance in one-on-one.

His breakouts, confrontations, defenses, are all impressive.

This is a very mature player, and his quality is clearly better than the others.

Sure enough, the person who can hear about Kobe Bryant is not bad.

Klaus got up and said something to his assistant.

After the assistant understood, he quickly went to the head coach Frode's ear and whispered for a while.

At the end of the one-on-one, the rookies are ready for the next two-on-two.

But at this moment, head coach Pink suddenly blew the whistle.

He asked Sun Hao and Reed to come out of the ranks, and then motioned for a one-on-one between them.

The move drew whistles and heckling from the other rookies.

In rugby training, there is a training style that is used a lot and is also the most exciting.

Padboard drills, elite duels.

Sun Hao and Reed are going to stage this scene on the basketball court now.

Kobe Bryant also sat up straight at this time, and he could guess that it was Klaus's arrangement.

But it also made him very interested in who would have the upper hand between the two best performers in one-on-one tryouts.
