Chapter 386: The Rookies of the Class of 2007

"There are so many people in the supersonic training camp, there must be at least forty or fifty of them, right?"

"According to the information I got from supersonic insiders, there are a total of fifty-five players who came to SuperSonics for a trial this time, and the number of applicants has exceeded 100, and almost half of them have been rejected by SuperSonic!"

"What kind of insider, just say that David Lee can't do it? Who TM can still have few seniors in the supersonic! However, this Seattle supersonic training camp is really powerful, hundreds of people applied, knowing that there were many people here and the competition pressure was high, and they still applied here, are these people not self-aware or too confident? ”

"It's not that they're self-aware, it's true that they're too confident, but it's a confidence in Yes, and in the case of you lotto-level rookies, you say, you see Rondo's rookie season and get the assist king, don't you really have a little idea?"

"Hehe, of course I have an idea."

"If I were Rondo, I would have averaged 20+10 per game last season with Yes!"

"20+10 may be a bit exaggerated, but 15+10 has absolutely no problems, assist kings, all-stars, and a rookie season can accomplish such a legendary achievement!"

"Rondo is really blind to such a good opportunity, every time I see Rondo playing iron in an empty position, I can't wait to get into the TV and strangle him!"

"Waste the opportunity to be like this, God will punish him sooner or later!"

"I don't know if God will punish Rondo, but I know you're jealous of Rondo right now!"

"It's right to be jealous, and those rookies who are a little bit lower will also have ideas when they see that Barria can score 20 points in a single game on a stage like the Western Conference Finals."

"The magic around Yes is too strong!"

June 3, 2007, Seattle, Supersonic Training Gym.

The training hall is now black.

All the fields in the training hall are now full.

Hope and anticipation are now written on everyone's faces.

For every rookie here, they have a Rondo-esque dream in their hearts.

Because yes, Seattle SuperSonics, is now the most recognized dream place!

No matter who you are, as long as you can be favored by Yes, selected by Yes, even if you are O'Neal's grandmother, you can become the assist king, you can become an All-Star.

Even in a venue like the West Finals, where some people can't touch it in their lifetime, there is a single 20+!

And it's not like training camps held by other teams.

The training camp in Seattle was selected by Yes, so I didn't have to worry about my background at all.

Yes doesn't pay much attention to talent and ability.

What talent does Rondo have?

What are Rondo's abilities?

Isn't it just a little warped?

Isn't it just that when you are kicked, you laugh a little?

Everyone is a quasi-professional player, after such a large amount of exercise, who can not warp?

If you really have a chance, who can not laugh more ** than Rondo?

They just lack an opportunity like Rondo!

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

Many of them have even waited for months for the opportunity to open a supersonic tryout!

"I've been practicing Rondo's ** expression four months ago!"

"I've been practicing since half a year ago!"

"In addition to practicing the Rondo-style ** expression, I also brought this with me to this trial!"

"Flower Q! Is this TM a fake tun?! Do you want to play so big?! ”

"Hehe, I'm going to drive Rondo away from Yes this time, not really!"

Listening to these rookies present, whether they are high-end rookies or mid-range rookies or low-end rookies are crazy DISS Rondo.

This left Ramon Sessions a little embarrassed.

He was a good friend of Rondo.

As a good friend of Rondo, he is not good at talking, not talking, and uncomfortable.

As a self-acquaintance, he really wants to tell everyone here that he has also been kicked by Yes Pipi today.

At the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial, he kicked north with Millsap and Rondo.

Everyone remembered that ** expression of Rondo, and both he and Millsap were ignored.

He, like Rondo Millsap, is also a favored person by Yes.

It's just that he didn't participate in the draft last year, otherwise he would have been a member of the SuperSonics now, right?

Yes said, "You're good. ”

But it was to him, and to Rajan, and to Paul.

Now Rajan is the league's assist king, although he is the most watery assist king in history, but he is also the assist king.

As for Paul, who doesn't know that Millsap is one of the most reliable players on the SuperSonics bench right now.

Because by Yes's side, Paul's fame is higher than that of some would-be All-Stars.

From time to time, you can show your face in famous media such as USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, etc.

Even the average All-Star doesn't have that many opportunities to show his face.

Knowing this, he was desperate to participate in the draft last year.

You have to stay in college for an extra year.

Well, now that I've been in college for an extra year, not only did I not make a name for myself, but my draft pick prediction was even worse than last year.

Now his name can't even get into the first sixty.

Perhaps none of the experts who make draft pick predictions know that there is a man named Ramon Sessions in this world.

After all, the data of his final year of college is not even 12+5+5.

This stat is worse than Rajan's stats in college, and Rajan has more than 6 rebounds.

I don't know if Yes still remembers the little warp in Jacksonville that was still waiting.

The expression on Ramon Sessions' face was full of melancholy.

SuperSonics have three draft picks this year.

Now the whole world knows that there is a shortage of people in every position of hypersound, and every position needs to be replenished by new people.

Therefore, each of the SuperSonics' draft picks will definitely pick a different position.

According to the prediction, the three positions in this supersonic preselection are most likely to be the first point guard, the second center, and the remaining positions are likely to be third.

Now the weakest position of the supersonic is the point guard, the most lacking position is the center, the strongest position is the division, and the small forward and the big forward are not bad or bad.

Will supersonic give priority to the weakest or the most lacking this time?

If the supersonics' second pick picks the weakest point guard according to the media's predictions, then he will miss the supersonics.

If that's the case, the position belongs to Conley.

Although he has been dreaming of being drafted in the first round by the SuperSonics recently, he has never dared to dream of being second in the first round.

Only if the SuperSonics use the second pick to pick someone else, such as Noah, the second center of this year, Brewer, the first small forward, or Yi Jianlian, the first big forward, will he have a chance to enter the SuperSonics.

And this opportunity he also has to face competition from excellent point guards such as Rodney Starkey and Tao Lin Green.

All in all, quite tough.

However, no matter how difficult it is, it seems to be slightly better than that person......

Ramon Sessions looked not far away at the lanky man who was practicing his shooting with a cold face.

Kevin Durant.

Like him, he can't fit into the rookie circle that is now participating in the draft.

He didn't want to be involved in the conversation with his black friend Rondo.

As for Durant, he probably doesn't want to mess with these people, right?

After all, he was the biggest favorite in the list, and now he barely managed to squeeze into the top five in the draft.

Being able to squeeze into the top five is still based on the fact that his data in college is really powerful.

Durant was not only beaten up by Yes alone, but in the physical test of this year's Orlando rookie training camp, Durant's bench press was only 80 kilograms, and the data of bouncing and vertical bouncing on the spot was the same as Yao Ming.

This makes people wonder if he is gambling on the national media.

Regardless of whether Durant is angry or not, it is also true that his draft market is declining right now.

In the latest NBA draft predictions, the first is Oden, the second is Conley, the third is Yi Jianlian, the fourth is Brewer, and the fifth is Durant.

The SuperSonics are now likely to use the second pick to pick a point guard, even if they want to choose a small forward, there is a better Brewer, why choose Durant?

Arguably, Durant is the only player in the entire training camp right now who can't make it to the SuperSonics.

"Kevin, get to know me, my name is Ramon Sessions and I'm from the University of Nevada."

Indifferent and continue to shoot.

This left Ramon Sessions a little embarrassed.

Originally, he thought that the two of them were now excluded, and it was not bad to sign up for a group together, but he didn't expect that Durant had no intention of communicating with him at all.

However, as a self-cooked, how could Ramon Sessions give up so easily.

No matter how awkward Durant is, can he be as awkward as Rajan?

In the end, he and Rajan can become good friends, and it is not a matter of minutes to become friends with Durant?

"Kevin, I never thought Yes would pick Conley with the No. 2 pick."

Ramon Seshin looked at Conley, who was being held by the stars not far away, and said to Durant beside him with a smile.

Hearing Ramon Sessions say this, Durant, who has been shooting on his own, finally has other reactions.

"Now the whole world is saying that Rajan is rubbish, that the last two games of the Western Conference are about to be replaced by Barria, and that he will definitely be swept away by the SuperSonics next season, but I don't think so."

"If Yes and the SuperSonics are really so dissatisfied with Rajan, it is impossible to give Rajan so many training opportunities in the regular season this season, Rajan is definitely not a supersonic passerby, Lajan has a future in the SuperSonics."

"Now that Yes and the SuperSonics have cultivated Rajan for a season, and Rajan has also responded to the cultivation of this season with the honor of the assist king, I believe that Yes and the SuperSonics will at least give Rajan a season, and the position of the forward line is likely to be the first choice of the SuperSonics this time."

"In this year's Western Conference Finals, the reason why the SuperSonics finally lost to the Suns was that the team lacked a strong point to assist in defense, Yes was pinned down in the interior to assist in defense, and there was no way to defend Nash, which led to the collapse of the SuperSonics' defense.

"I don't think there's anyone better than you and Noah in this year's rookies."

After Ramon Sessions finished speaking, he looked Durant up and down.

It's a body shape made for basketball!

Even Durant's power bench press is only 80.

Even if Durant's bounce is the same as Yao Ming's.

With his size, he's the one with the most potential to help defend him.

Durant is the most potential, and Noah is the most capable defender right now.

"I personally think that the second pick of the supersonic this time is either to choose you or Noah, Noah is the center, the center of the supersonic already has Milicic, it is too wasteful to play the substitute, and it is too slow to play the starting twin towers, I think you have a higher probability of being on the list than Noah."

Durant stopped what he was doing, and the look in his eyes at Ramon Sessions was no longer disdainful, and even a little shocked.

Being stared at by Durant with such eyes, Ramon Sessions was a little embarrassed.

Although his skills are not good, his IQ is still good, he likes to play with his brain on the field, and he also likes to think with his brain.

If he hadn't really felt like he had that chance, he wouldn't have come here desperately, and now that all the rookie spots are on Seattle, he could have tried out with his team and had a better chance of performing.

But he didn't, and based on his speculation and intuition, he had a better chance of coming to Seattle than going to another team.

"Yes is coming!"

While Ramon Sessions and Durant were staring at each other, Yes was accompanied by the team's general manager, Princeton, to the SuperSonics' training gym.

Seeing Ye Si's figure, Conley was very excited, Yi Jianlian was very admired, Noah was very excited, and Brewer was looking forward to it......

The training hall, which was originally chaotic, became extremely quiet for a while.

"Continue to train freely."

After Ye Si said lightly, the rookies on the scene really trained seriously and no longer held a criticism meeting for Rondo.

"Among the players who came to apply for a trial this time, there are a few center forwards."

"Because the team already has Darko, except for players like Noah, who are confident that they can replace Darko, no other good center has any intention of coming to us to compete with Darko, after all, Darko is an All-Star."

Ye Si nodded, a very realistic choice.

If you don't have the confidence to replace Milicic, why come to the SuperSonics to play as a substitute? It's not that there are no starters to play.

So now in the supersonic training hall, the supersonic is in urgent need of center players, except for Noah, who has great potential and is likely to replace Milicic, the rest is a 'Grandma O'Neal' level player like Rakovic who is willing to play as a substitute for Milicic, has average ability, and hopes to gain some adventures around him.

"Yes, I had previously sent a tryout invitation to Pau Gasol's younger brother Mark Gasol, but he refused, according to the feedback given by Mark Gasol's agent, if there is no guarantee of starting position, even if he is selected, he will not come to the NBA."

Presti's example of Marc Gasol is not to say that he is bullish on Marc Gasol, but to explain Yes's question.

Among this year's rookies, in addition to Noah, a top center, there are not many mid-level centers, Marc Gasol and Split are both European players, and the SuperSonics can choose them, or they can not come, which is a bit troublesome.

But the supersonic are now desperately short of a center.

2nd in line, 22nd in line......

Ye Si's eyes kept switching between Noah and Durant not far away.
