Chapter Eighty-Five: Zhen Teniang is a talent
Bryant was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Sun Hao to ask for another game.
Not only Kobe, but everyone present did not expect it.
Sun Hao, it's a little rigid!
However, after Kobe Bryant reacted, he nodded seriously.
And there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
The spirit of Mamba is tempered into steel.
It's not just about challenging stronger opponents, it's also about not admitting defeat.
At this time, Kobe Bryant may not have comprehended his Mamba spirit, but like things gather, and he instinctively has a good impression of his own kind.
So, under everyone's gaze, Sun Hao and Kobe's heads-up continued to pull apart.
In the second game, 2-5.
After Sun Hao's offensive style was familiar to Kobe, it became more difficult for him to score.
"Another game?"
But what happened next surprised everyone again.
Sun Hao, ask for another round!
"Come!"
Bryant's reaction was equally unexpected.
He even agreed again!
And the look of appreciation in his eyes was even stronger.
Maybe in the eyes of most people, it's stupid to continue to fight if you can't beat it.
But in Kobe's eyes, if you can't beat it, you can still beat it, that's a real man!
Phil Jackson couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It's really rare to find a person in the world with a similar personality to Kobe.
Of course, Sun Hao didn't know what other people were thinking.
When he lost the first game, the idea was to try again.
But after the second game, he knew that he couldn't beat it now.
If there is no systematic hidden task, he should be withdrawn, go back to the obscene development, and fight again when the development is good.
It's just that [Kobe Bryant's turnaround and back-to-back shooting package] is too tempting!
This is more tempting than the female assistant Anna of Adi he met that day!
Even if there is only a 1% chance, there will always be one win after 100 attempts!
He's a bit of a top!
In the third game, 2-5.
Game 4, 3-5.
Game 5, 2-5.
……
Looking at the two of them who didn't mean to stop at all, many people couldn't stand it anymore.
Please get married on the spot!
Phil Jackson chatted with Kupchak for a few words before leaving the training gym with the people from management.
A staff member signaled that the trial had ended.
However, to the laughter of the staff, none of the tryouts left.
Although Sun Hao has never won, and it seems that he can't see the possibility of winning.
But the level of heads-up between the two is high.
This level of heads-up is not something you can see all the time.
As a result, the Staples Center Arena staged an unbelievable scene.
A group of rookies watched Sun Hao charge Kobe again and again.
……
"I didn't mean to interrupt you, but Sun, you have to go to the airport, or you won't be able to make it to the Utah trial."
As the two finished the tenth game, Fu Paul reminded.
After Fu Paul said this, the group of rookies who watched the game immediately dispersed.
Some of them are going to Utah, and some are going somewhere else.
They were so engrossed that they almost missed their own tryouts.
Sun Hao also gave up.
After ten innings, his highest score was three goals in each game.
He realized that with his current strength, it was basically impossible to beat Kobe Bryant in heads-up.
This is also a reasonable thing, if he can play a championship as a rookie who can play a defensive second, that person is still Kobe, and no matter how short his draft prediction is, he will go straight to the top pick.
But the water is long, Kobe Bryant is in the league, and he can't run.
"I'm looking forward to you joining the Lakers, you're a good one-on-one opponent."
Kobe Bryant stretched out his hand to Sun Hao at this time.
In the Lakers, even Glenn Rice stopped playing with him after he couldn't beat him a few times alone.
It's really rare to meet a Xiaoqiang like Sun Hao who can't be killed.
As for helping Lu get revenge? I'm sorry, he forgot about it.
Sun Hao didn't know what Kobe Bryant was thinking, but he was very happy to hear Kobe Bryant say this.
After all, if you are on a team, there are many opportunities for heads-up!
"Congratulations to the host for earning the 'Combatant' badge."
Just after chatting with Kobe, Sun Hao suddenly burst out of his head coldly.
This surprise came a little suddenly, you must know that he has not yet completed the task of [True and False Mamba]!
Aggressive (Bronze): Slightly increases the physical cost of opposing players against the host.
Looking at the introduction of this badge, Sun Hao's emotions were a little excited.
His current defensive ability is not strong enough, but if he can't prevent it, I can consume you!
The "Aggressive" badge really came at a good time!
As for why it came? Most likely it was the result of ten consecutive games between him and Kobe Bryant.
Normal people, I'm afraid I don't want to play after losing ten games in a row.
This badge is unexpected, but also reasonable.
Sun Hao and Su Qun left the training hall, while Kobe Bryant stayed to continue training.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the training hall, Fu Paul seemed to remember something, and after asking Sun Hao and them to go first, he ran back to chat with Kobe.
At the door of the stadium, Sun Hao and Zhang Weiping said goodbye.
The latter won't go with him to Utah, he still has his own job in Los Angeles.
Before parting, Su Qunguan Zhang Weiping asked for Zhang NBA's overseas reporter interview card.
When Zhang Weiping left, Fu Paul also ran out.
"What did you just do?"
Su Qun asked curiously.
"I talked to Kobe about the beach court, and it's easy to have misunderstandings between people, and if Sun goes to the Lakers, the sooner this misunderstanding is resolved, the better."
Sun Hao nodded after listening.
Fu Paul is really strong in interpersonal relationships, and he is sensitive enough.
It's no wonder that he, a junior high school graduate, became James's agent in history and helped create a huge business empire.
Awesome people, who don't have two brushes.
"By the way, how did you meet Kupchak before?"
On the plane to Utah, Sun Hao couldn't help but ask curiously.
He had a sixth sense, and Fu Paul should not have known Kupchak before.
But how people who don't know each other can talk together, which makes people curious.
"I don't know him."
Sure enough, Sun Hao's sixth sense was proven right.
"I don't need to know him, I just need to get him interested in me."
"How did you do that?"
Su Qun was also attracted over.
"Quite simply, I said I was Quint Richardson's agent."
When Fu Paul said this, he threw a look at Sun Hao.
"What do you mean?"
Su Qun didn't react for a moment.
Sun Hao understood it at once.
Gwent Richardson, nicknamed "Big Q", is also ruthless in the NCAA, and is only stronger than Reed and House, whom Sun Hao has met before.
And compared to them, Richardson has both offense and defense, no obvious shortcomings, and is the favorite swingman of this era.
His draft prediction is between the 15~20 picks.
Because it is a small year of the draft, this prediction is basically accurate.
Why did an agent with a draft prediction of the 20th pick come to the Lakers?
Sun Hao didn't know about this problem, and it is estimated that Kupchak didn't know either.
And then...... It's time to talk.
Curiosity is one of the key factors that drives human beings to do things.
I have to say that Fu Paul is really an elite member of the mixed society, and he has a good grasp of people's psychology.
"You're not afraid of goofs?"
Sun Hao asked with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, it's impossible for Richardson to really come to the Lakers for a tryout, and besides, agents change often, especially rookies, who knows whose agent is who."
After hearing this, Sun Hao smiled and gave a thumbs up to Fu Paul.
Don't say it, Fu Paul is really a talent.
"I still don't get it."
Su Qun heard it in a fog.
Sun Hao and Fu Paul glanced at each other, and then they both laughed.
Only Su Qun was crazy on the side.
With only two days left until the draft, the team's tryouts are almost over.
Sun Hao's tryout with the Jazz team was also his last stop.
Compared with the previous stops, the tryouts at this stop had the least number of people, and even the Jazz management had fewer people.
Basically, it's like going through the motions.
However, a little different from the previous trials, several media reporters came to the scene.
It can be seen that the draft conference is approaching, and the reporters can't hold back.
Sun Hao's tryout went well, and he proved himself to be a good fit for the Jazz's pick-and-roll system.
After the tryout, Justin Zanick, the Jazz's deputy general manager in charge of the tryout, was surrounded by reporters.
This also includes Su Qun, who asked Zhang Weiping for a press card at this time.
However, the draft is approaching, and Zanick's answer is also polite.
"Do you have a goal in mind for this tryout?"
'We're open to all the players, including the ones on this trial, and that's why we've invited them here.
"We've heard some rumors about DeSean Stevenson and the Jazz, are you going to worry about how well high school players understand pick-and-roll tactics?"
"I think our coaching staff can help the rookies adapt quickly to the team's tactical system, and it has nothing to do with academic qualifications."
……
"What do you think of Sun Hao? He did well in the tryout today? He is said to have received draft promises from several teams and is hopeful to become the first Asian player to land in the NBA. ”
The one who asked this question was naturally Su Qun.
His question also attracted the attention of others.
Fu Paul said that the news of the draft promise was only decided yesterday, and most people don't know about it yet.
When you ask an Asian journalist, you have the feeling of making something out of nothing, imagining it out of thin air.
"Yes, we're very impressed with Sun, he's a great fit for the team, he can play in the NBA."
What people didn't expect was that Zanik, who had been polite for a whole time, actually said something very affirmative at the end.
It can be seen that Sun Hao's trial left a deep impression on him.
But after the interview, Zanik didn't come to chat with Sun Hao or anything.
Including after they left, Sun Hao did not receive follow-up calls like the previous Bulls.
This reaction was somewhat uncertain even for Fu Paul.
But it's understandable.
The Jazz's draft pick this year is 23 in the first round and 21 in the second round.
The 21st pick in the second round is negligible unless the Ginobili pick is selected.
As for the first round of 23, Sun Hao's current draft market is not enough to reach this rank.
In the end, no one knows whether it will be chosen.
Perhaps the answer will only be revealed after the draft begins.
The draft will start on the second day, and the major media have also begun the final warm-up.
ESPN has updated its draft predictions for the last draw.
Sun Hao is very eye-catching in this list.
He was only at the end of the second round in the last draft prediction, and he suddenly rose to the 29th pick in the first round like a rocket.
The owner of this draft pick is none other than the Los Angeles Lakers.
ps: I saw a lot of people say heads-up, explain, the protagonist 183 vs. Kobe Bryant 196 is a misalignment, Kobe Bryant 1999~2000 season is a defensive period, has not gained weight, flexible body, 1.6 steals per game, superstar is also the strongest defense in previous years, offensive Kobe Bryant started mid-distance training this summer as the book said, this summer is over, that is, 2000~In the 2001 season, he averaged 28.5 points per game, and in 2000, there was still a big gap between the level of European basketball and the NBA.
