Larry. Loading beeps never rolls over. Bird.

One of the NBA's greatest legendary superstars, in Indiana, even a three-year-old knows the story of the "Larry Legend."

Although Bird's heyday was in the 80s, there were very few fans who actually lived through that era.

But no matter how long it has been, as long as you are a basketball fan, you will know a lot about Bird's deeds.

His classic moments of beeping have added a lot of color to the basketball world.

Even if a book "Larry. Bird's Beep Encyclopedia", are by no means excessive.

"Are you here to fight for second place?"

"Teach your brother that you don't even have to take off your coat."

"Today I'm playing with my left hand, and I'm waiting with my right hand to beat the Lakers."

"I'm going to kill you here later."

Look, is this talking about human words?

He is simply a great people's artist walking on the basketball court.

Now the rumbling Pacers soul Reggie. Miller, when he first joined the league, was also sprayed by Bird to autism.

At this time, the great god of the basketball world, the titan of the beeping world, was sitting next to Wayne, staring at Wayne with an unsettling smile.

Wayne was really afraid of Bird blurting out a whole sentence: "To briefly introduce me, I am the most beepping shooter in NBA history." That's right, the most bepping one. ”

Fortunately, the current Bird is indeed a lot more restrained than when he was a player.

Although he occasionally speaks surprisingly, he is no longer so unscrupulous.

"Wayne, Jeff, it's great to have you in Indianapolis. Really, thank you very much. After all, not all rookies who are predicted to be selected in the lottery are willing to come to Indianapolis for a tryout. ”

Bird first exchanged a few polite sentences, and then began to introduce the scenery of Indianapolis along the street.

"See? That's Indianapolis' iconic building, Indy 500 Motor Speedway. ”

"It's Chinatown, trust me Wayne, you'll feel incredibly at home in Indianapolis."

Bird gushed endlessly, he was no different from an ordinary middle-aged man now.

In a few moments, the car drove to the Banker's Life Arena.

Above the arena, there is also a huge poster of the Pacers' starting five tigers.

But when Bird saw the posters, his eyes darkened.

yes, the Pacers have just taken a big hit.

If it weren't for the loss to the Pistons, they would have faced the Lakers in the Finals right now.

Bird adjusted his mood for a moment, then quickly smiled again: "Here we are, this is the home of the Pacers." We only started using the arena in 1999 and all the facilities are still very new. ”

Although the Pacers have been eliminated, there are still many fans gathered outside the arena.

No way, basketball is as popular in Indiana as football is in the UK.

In addition to large cornfields, the most in Indiana is estimated to be basketball stadiums.

Every small town in this state has a basketball team and has its own league.

On race days, many stores are even closed to watch the game.

It can be said that it is the birthplace of American country basketball......

The car pulls into the arena's underground parking lot, and Wayne and Schwartz follow Bird into the inside of the Bankers' Living Arena.

"The clothes are ready and the tryouts are ready to start. If you need a break, we're not in a hurry.

Don't stress Wayne, I just want to see how good you really are, okay? ”

I have to say that the Pacers' attention to Wayne is about the same as that of the Trail Blazers.

"Well, there's no need to rest, let's get started." Wayne didn't want to waste time, anyway, after going around such a circle, he had almost experienced the process of the trial, and there was no tension at all.

So, there's no need to adjust your emotions.

"Haha, you're really decisive, Wayne, like you do every time you make a key shot." Bird nodded approvingly.

Key Ball ...... It's a sore foot for a walker.

Wayne then went straight to the locker room, but as soon as he pushed the door in, Wayne saw an old acquaintance.

"I'm rubbing, why are you here too?" In the locker room, a sturdy old black who was changing clothes widened his eyes.

"Yo, you're there too." Wayne wasn't so surprised, and it wasn't the first time he had tried out with another rookie.

David. Harrison felt like he was a hell of a mess, how could Wayne, who was ranked in the lottery zone in the mock draft, come to Indianapolis!

This Nima, the ghost is not gone!

The images of being bloodied by the Cowboys in the regular season echoed in Harrison's mind at this time.

The throbs of youth made him feel uncomfortable.

"You're here for a tryout?" Harrison asked.

"Or I'm here to eat corn?" Wayne was speechless, what a problem.

"Are you so unconfident in yourself? You should know that the Pacers only have the 29th pick this year, right?

Do you think you're going to fall underneath? So come to the trial and find a spare tire? Harrison smiled playfully, and it seemed that Wayne still had a plan in mind.

He also knows that his mock draft rank is just inflated!

"No, Bird insisted on me coming, and he picked me up at the airport. You say, how embarrassed to refuse. ”

"Bird...... Pick you up at the airport in person? "Harrison took 10,000 points of damage.

He came to the stadium by himself!

They are all here for trials, why are they so poorly treated.

Harrison couldn't help but clench his fists, and in his mind he put Wayne on the opposite side again.

Since the Pacers have them all coming, it must be a real fight.

Harrison wants to save face here!

After all, the Pacers are the last team in the first round. If Harrison can't be drafted by the Pacers, he'll drop to the second round.

Harrison didn't want that to happen.

Regardless, he's going to be ashamed of himself in front of Wayne today.

It's not about face, it's about survival!

Before Wayne could realize it, a pair of eyes full of resentment had begun to stare at him.

Because he found something more interesting.

I said...... What are you doing......"

"What's wrong with socks? You don't wear socks when you play. Harrison replied lightly.

"Wear socks...... You're wearing three pairs of socks, aren't you? I'm rubbing, just for this little height, you're already tall, okay! "Wein have seen a defender who is tall with socks and insoles, and a big center has done the same, and this is the first time Wayne has encountered it.

"I ...... You know a hammer, I'm here to protect my ankles! Harrison blushed, got up and walked out of the locker room, starting to warm up.

Actually, Harrison wasn't trying to prove how tall he was, but that he had gained weight again this summer!

In order to make his weight look normal, he had to start with his height.

As long as you're tall enough, it makes sense you're fat!

Wayne now knows why NBA players are so tall.

This Nima is full of routines!

After changing his clothes and warming up well, Wayne began to perform various tests on the basketball court.

The tests were all old-fashioned, and Wayne was familiar with them.

On another adjacent field, Harrison is doing the same thing.

Sidelines, Bird and Downey. Walsh stood together, looking at each other.

"I told you, Wayne is much better than Harrison. It's not just about ability, it's about attitude.

If you look at Wayne's figure, he's a little bit stronger than he was in the Final Four, and he's definitely put a lot of effort into polishing his body in the summer. If you look at Harrison, he's almost fat. ”

Bird smirked in Walsh's ear.

Originally, Bird didn't want to try out Harrison, but Walsh insisted on letting him come.

After all, the two have not yet agreed on the matter of the draft.

Walsh didn't want Bird to waste chips on his rookie and simply picked Harrison.

And Bird believes Wayne is the player the team needs, even at some cost.

Therefore, Bird simply arranged for the two to have a trial at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of making a judgment.

Walsh really has nothing to say about this.

Harrison's fat is over the standard at first glance, and it is indeed rare for players to start gaining weight at a young age.

According to the physical test data, Wayne has an all-round advantage in addition to height and weight.

Especially in the speed category, Wayne's performance almost crushed Harrison.

"Wei's athleticism isn't that bad, you see, you have one less reason to convince me not to pick him. Donnie, admit it, Wayne is the player we need. "Once Bird beeps, his mouth won't be idle.

"Oh, so you're going to use this thin body against Rashid or Big Ben? He can't fit in the NBA, and if he's really as good as you say, why can't he get into the top 10? ”

"Because a lot of people think the same way as you, you only see his body, but I see his versatility in scoring, his consistent shooting, and his naturally big heart! You can't forget how we lost to the Pistons, Donnie! ”

"Big heart? Can you guarantee that he will be able to handle the difficulties in the NBA? He may be able to hit key shots in college, but the NBA and the NCAA are different! ”

"Oh, even then, we can play him in the number three position. You know, I went from number four to number three. ”

The two quarreled so much that Schwartz couldn't help but glance at them.

Seeing this, Bird lowered the volume again.

"It's a draft, I can't guarantee anything. Like when you chose Miller, can you guarantee that he will succeed? Miller was skinny at the time, too!

Walsh was silent, he couldn't compete with Bird, and he didn't want to magnify the conflict.

There's no need for that, they just want the team to be good.

"I stand by my point, but you're in charge of basketball...... You'd better be right, Larry. ”

Walsh turned to leave, and in that case, he didn't want to see which Harrison or Wayne was stronger or weaker.

He knew that Big Bird already had the answer.

After that, Bird arranged a half-time 3v3 matchup between Wayne and Harrison and divided the two into two different teams.

Saying it's 3 against 3 is actually a change of form for Wayne and Harrison to go head-to-head.

The other players who participated in the 3v3 were all players who were predicted to be drafted in the second round, with Wayne and Harrison still the main characters.

Harrison had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and this time, he and Wayne were directly facing each other!

He believes he will have an overwhelming advantage on the offensive end.

Even if you can't prevent Wayne, you can explode with Wayne.

As a result, when Harrison first made contact with Wayne in the low post, he realized he was wrong.

"It's tough......" Harrison sat back hard, only to find himself in a big obstacle!

Although Harrison is not enough to push Wayne, he is not so calm under Wayne's tough confrontation.

Harrison then gave up on pushing in, and instead turned around and hooked his hands.

However, Wayne reacted immediately and jumped to interfere. In the three-second zone, it won't be easy to score on Wayne's head.

A "penalty area deterrence" and a "tough defense" are enough for Harrison to drink a pot.

On the first offense, Harrison hit a shot in a rage.

Wayne picked up the rebound and quickly passed the ball to his teammates outside the three-point line.

Then, Wayne also ran to the outside to catch the ball.

Playing low with Harrison's "Roshan", it must be unacceptable.

So, he decided to tackle the fat guy outside the three-second zone.

Wayne, who has recently risen in ball control, although he doesn't dare to show off his skills in front of the outside, can still control the ball and play a dozen in front of a heavy interior like Harrison.

Wayne easily passed Harrison with a simple forward change of direction.

Harrison is now moving slowly, and acceleration in the early stages is exactly Wayne's strong point, plus Wayne's stride is huge, so it only takes one step after passing to get rid of Harrison.

Bird's eyes lit up, Wayne can dribble the ball now?

When Harrison caught up, Wayne made a sharp stop and then made a light jumper.

Harrison rushed two steps away because of his inertia, and Wayne hit the shot without interference.

Bird's applause echoed through the empty court.

Wayne is indeed a small forward.

Harrison gritted his teeth, and that guy was getting stronger again!

It's also hardened.

After that, Wayne showed off his excellent outside skills.

Pull-up jump shots, breaking through the frame, Wayne can do it.

Bird couldn't help but think, if this really puts the 2.11-meter Wayne in the third position, how can others guard against it?

In the end, Harrison's team was beaten 21-10 by Wayne.

Wayne led the team to a big victory, and this 3-on-3 completely turned into Wayne's solo show.

Harrison, on his part, is obsessed with hard eating under the basket, and although he did eat a few Wayne, the overall efficiency is not high.

Wayne, on the other hand, can assist his teammates who cut in addition to scoring.

After the tryout, Wayne looked to the sidelines and saw that Bird and Schwartz were talking.

As for Harrison's agent...... There was no chance to talk to Bird at all.

Harrison departed in a gloomy manner, he never wanted to see Wayne again!

Wayne also walked off the field, and the conversation between Bird and Schwartz ended.

"You're doing a great job, Way." Bird patted Wayne on the shoulder.

"Thank you."

"Well, that's the end of today's tryout, hard work. If I could, I'd like to talk to Jeff a little longer. ”

"Well, Wayne, stay here and don't move, I'll come right over." Schwartz chimed in.

Wayne was speechless, although there was nothing wrong with that sentence, but how could he just have a feeling of being taken advantage of.....

Bird and Schwartz then walked to the edge of the training hall and continued their conversation.

Wayne guessed he was talking about the deal. If the Pacers want to get themselves, there is only one way to go.

The question is, who can the Pacers trade with? At the very least, it would have to be ahead of the Trail Blazers' 13th pick.

It's not something you can get by just by scratch.

Wayne shrugged, that wasn't something he should be thinking about at this stage.

I've done everything I can do, so let's wait for the good news.

Two hours later, high school center Robert Brown. Swift completed a tryout in Seattle.

The results are decent, so what Seattle wants now is still a point guard, an instant fight, and a playoff impact.

This non-up draft position has been bothering the SuperSonics for a long time.

I'm struggling with whether to choose Robert or not. Swift's Wally. Walker, at this time, received a phone call.

It's still that guy calling.

As soon as the other party came up, he spoke directly: "You know I have what you want, don't delay any longer, let's make this deal." ”

Wally. Walker smiled, this fat sheep sent to the door, can he not slaughter it?

"You've got to get more chips, Larry. Let me see how much you're willing to pay for Wayne. ”

Bird cursed secretly, it wasn't long before the draft, and he didn't have much time.
