Chapter 60: Li Liang's Scouting Report

Li Liang's tryout with the Nets went well.

In early June, Li Liang and Wei Dazhi arrived in New Jersey together to participate in a group tryout for the Nets at the PNY Center in the morning and afternoon.

Because there was no high-level signing in the 12-year draft, the Nets still organized a group of NBA marginal people for tryouts based on the principle of picking up leaks.

Li Liang is among them, naturally because in the eyes of the Nets, Li Liang is almost so valuable.

Of course, Max didn't quite understand why Calipari had to write him two letters of recommendation in a row to get him to participate in the tryout.

After the trial in the afternoon, Max, who had completely observed the content of Li Liang's trial, understood.

This kid is indeed powerful.

Although from the perspective of comprehensive strength, his shortcomings are obvious.

If you describe it as a wooden barrel, it is a footbath with only two long boards.

But his two longboards are really too useful.

Three-point shooting and outside defense are the most sought-after role player technical requirements at the moment.

Max didn't expect that this inconspicuous Chinese kid who had no performance in the NCAA before would have such ability.

When parting, Max wanted to leave Li Liang alone to talk, but Li Liang said very much that if he had anything to talk about, he would find his agent.

"Is your agent here, then? Or his contact details? Max asked.

"No, she is still in Los Angeles to take the agent qualification, this is her phone number." Li Liang handed Max a business card.

Max took the business card, he didn't expect Li Liang's agent to be a woman.

And he's never heard of this name, and it seems that he's still researching it, a newcomer?

Max thought it was incredible, Bruce Lee, what an amazing guy.

Soon, Li Liang and Wei Dazhi got into a taxi together, and they were going to Manhattan to find Bai Xiaoting.

On the way, Wei Dazhi edited the photos taken during the trial and swiped Twitter, Instagram and other social software.

Taking advantage of the last time Li Liang and Kobe Bryant went head-to-head, Wei Dazhi's social account attracted a wave of attention.

At the same time, on the domestic basketball forum, there is already a VIP title.

Although it is not known what exactly this title is for.

Now he is the exclusive publisher of Li Liang's news.

There have begun to be some domestic and foreign self-media and domestic sports news people who are not in the stream, looking for him to ask for Li Liang's relevant news.

With Li Liang's consent, Wei Dazhi sorted out some pictures and simple texts of Li Liang's training and trial training.

In this way, a media propaganda image about Li Liang is slowly being shaped.

Also, the documentary that Wei Dazhi planned is still being filmed.

Shoot a little bit every day, piece it together, and don't know when it will be filmed.

"Hey, hey, Li Liang, look, your scouting report was tweeted by the Nets official!"

Li Liang glanced at it, and sure enough, after the trial ended, the Nets scouts directly sent the players' scouting reports.

Because Li Liang had only practiced for one morning in the Nets-Rockets training camp, no scouting report was generated.

This time, combined with the data from the last physical test, the Nets gave a full scouting report.

Li Liang took a general look at it and comprehensively commented here:

“… Height, reach, size are all adequate, and there may be some issues with speed, but the speed of lateral movement when defending is impressive...... Possessing consistent and outstanding defensive skills, the three-point shot is his primary scoring tool...... Although the 22-year-old has little potential to explore, he will be a good instant player and a supplement to the bottom of the bench......"

"What bullshit reviews!" Li Liang saw the last sentence and threw the phone back to Wei Dazhi.

How can it be combined to the end, or a supplement to the bottom of the bench?

Did you know that Lao Tzu has played many NBA games?

I've played Durant, I've played James, I've played Odom, even though they're all rookies.

I managed to defend them all over the court and stifle their play, although I played a little trick in the middle.

But who isn't a rookie yet? Which rookie has performed like me?

Looking at this scouting report, Li Liang was unconvinced, but no one could say these words.

Seeing this, Wei Dazhi said: "Oh, the evaluation of this scouting report is already good, which shows that you have the strength to enter the NBA." Hey, I'll send this out later, and those reporters in Los Angeles will forward it again, and the Lakers management might be able to see it. If you don't say it, let them have a sense of crisis. ”

Wei Dazhi's words calmed Li Liang's heart a little, judging from the results of the Nets' trial, they are still interested in themselves.

It's just that there is no shortage of people in the Nets forward position, and pure 3D like Li Liang is not what they urgently need.

Most importantly, Max didn't look at himself as much as Ryan West.

For West, Li Liang still has respect.

He was the first to spot his strengths and boldly offered a tryout.

Li Liang also admires and appreciates him for this.

If he can play for the Lakers, Li Liang will not forget this kindness.

It's a pity that a person with vision like Ryan West doesn't have enough say in the Lakers.

Anyway, Li Liang is not going to go to Los Angeles for a 60th pick and go to Los Angeles for a trial endlessly.

Before the draft, Li Liang will also go to several other teams for tryouts.

With this official scouting report from the Nets, he will soon be contacted by teams.

The two arrived in Manhattan by car from New Jersey, and Manhattan at the end of the day was jammed with dogs.

Li Liang looked at the long queue of dragons outside the car window, as well as the tall, dense skyscrapers in the CBD area of Manhattan, and felt extremely depressed.

It's a far cry from the calm, relaxed campus of the University of Kentucky.

Li Liang thought, I wonder if Bai Xiaoting can adapt to this place and get used to it?

"Hey, what do I think, this guy was born to be in this kind of place. Look at her stinky fart elite appearance, hum~"

Li Liangxin did not forget to slander Bai Xiaoting.

She gives the impression that she is the kind of strong woman on Wall Street.

I just don't know if she is the same on the outside, or if she is strong on the outside and dry on the inside?

The car wriggled on the road for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at the place that Bai Xiaoting had agreed with - the Seagram Building in Midtown New York.

It's home to New York's most luxurious and famous dining destination, the Four Seasons Hotel.

Li Liang didn't know very well, why Bai Xiaoting invited them to dinner in such a place, he would rather eat hamburgers than him.

But Li Liang also knows that Bai Xiaoting is not the kind of person who likes to show off.

In front of him, Bai Xiaoting didn't have to show anything, so there might be some other reason.

Inside the Seagram Tower, the Four Seasons Hotel is on the ground floor, with a grand yet elaborate lobby that doesn't look like a place to eat.

When a waiter saw the two of them, he stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry two gentlemen, but sportswear is not allowed here." ”

Li Liang and Wei Dazhi were both wearing sportswear, but they didn't expect to wear suits when they came out for a meal?

Li Liang had no choice but to call Bai Xiaoting and tell her that he and Wei Dazhi were stopped outside and not allowed to enter.

After a while, Bai Xiaoting came out of it.

Today she was dressed beautifully, a long lake-green lace-trimmed dress with two thin shoulder straps hanging from her thin shoulders, revealing her slender collarbones.

A pair of robin egg-blue high heels on her feet set off Bai Xiaoting's temperament very well.

Li Liang looked at it and said, "Yo, it's so good-looking." It looks like the two of us aren't qualified to sit down with you for dinner. ”

Bai Xiaoting's eyes were slightly apologetic, and she pulled Li Liang and said, "I didn't mean to, today... Today is a special case and I... I'll tell you later. ”

Then, Bai Xiaoting explained to the waiter, and the waiter agreed to let Li Liang and Wei Dazhi in.

On the way upstairs, Bai Xiaoting said to Li Liang: "Actually, today... I was supposed to come on a blind date. ”

Li Liang stared at Bai Xiaoting with wide eyes and said, "What? Do you want to go on a blind date? ”
