Chapter 32: Team Pulling
After joining the Trailblazers, Li Tuanjie scored 140 skill proficiency points in the first game and 180 points in the second game!
It's not the same as the efficiency at Spurs!
"Hehe, according to this improvement speed, it is not impossible to upgrade the skill to level three before the joint training!" Li Tuanjie thought excitedly.
Skill proficiency is simply too important for Li Tuanjie!
It can even be said that skill proficiency represents Li Tuanjie's strength, and now that he has joined the pioneers, his skill proficiency has improved rapidly, and Li Tuanjie is naturally very happy.
……
At the end of the regular season, the NBA entered the playoff stage, the fierce playoff knockout game was in full swing, but Li Tuanjie had no interest in watching the game, and in mid-May it was a joint trial held by the NBA.
……
It's May.
"Lee unity, Lee unity! There's news from the NBA, informing you to participate in a joint tryout! Xia Fangfei's face was full of excitement, and she found Li Tuanjie, who was practicing in the stadium.
Speaking of which, in the past few months of contact, the relationship between Li Tuanjie and Xia Fangfei has become much more harmonious, at least now Xia Fangfei's attitude towards Li Tuanjie is much gentler......
Xia Fangfei, who is "normal", in fact, when brothers get along, they still feel very good, at least very righteous, when they learned that Li Tuanjie was going to participate in the draft, they helped Li Tuanjie a lot before and after.
Even the contact number that Li Tuanjie filled in on the draft form was Xia Fangfei's mobile phone number!
This is something that can't be helped, although the mobile phone is almost popularized in 06, the price is not cheap, and Li Tuanjie really can't afford it......
Finally, I filled in Xia Fangfei's mobile phone number to finally solve this little trouble.
After the relationship with Xia Fangfei warmed up, Li Tuanjie felt that Xia Fangfei was not as terrible as he thought.
"Message? How so? Li Tuanjie was excited, grabbed Xia Fangfei's shoulders and asked repeatedly.
"Hmm, you're ...... light"
"This NBA joint trial will be held at the Toyota Center Arena in Texas, and there will be a total of 80 players participating in this trial, so you have to prepare well!"
……
"What? Eighty players? So much?! Li Tuanjie was shocked, he never expected that so many players would come to this joint trial......
Generally speaking, NBA joint tryouts invite rookie players who may be drafted in the first or second round, so the number of players invited to participate in joint tryouts varies from year to year.
"What's wrong with a lot of people, you have to believe in yourself, I think you're the best!" Xia Fangfei broke away from Li Tuanjie's hands and said with a strange expression.
Such gentle words really came out of the mouth of a tigress? Li Tuanjie felt that Xia Fangfei's performance had become more and more strange recently......
"Wouldn't this tigress be attracted to my charm?"
"No, tigress likes women......"
……
The Texas Toyota Center Arena, as the home arena of the Houston Rockets, has not been officially put into use for a long time, starting from the second half of 03, and it has been less than three years.
The newer the arena, the more modern it is under normal circumstances, and the Toyota Center Arena is undoubtedly the epitome of a modern arena.
Game courts, training grounds, team offices, etc., are all available, which is very suitable for the NBA to hold joint trials.
In the days leading up to the start of the joint trial, Li Tuanjie "bumped into" several scouts at the school......
These scouts were the same scouts who watched Li Tuanjie and Aldridge play against each other, and they were very impressed by Li Tuanjie, and it was obvious that they were looking for Li Tuanjie to get close to each other in these encounters.
Li Tuanjie knows that there are a lot of rules in the NBA, and if he doesn't contact the team in advance in private, he may violate a certain rule of the NBA, so naturally he doesn't dare to talk too deeply with the scouts......
The purpose of the scouts is very simple, that is, to let Li Tuanjie try not to show his full strength in the next joint trial, and when the joint trial is over, the four teams will provide Li Tuanjie with a separate closed trial......
Li Tuanjie is not a fool, the meaning of the scouts is obvious, let Li Tuanjie hide his strength in the joint trial, he must be afraid that other teams will think about Li Tuanjie, and there will be a situation of cutting off Hu at that time......
Of the four teams that came to contact Lee in advance, three were local teams in Texas, namely the Spurs, Mavericks and Rockets, and the other was the Minnesota Timberwolves......
First of all, the Minnesota Timberwolves directly excluded Li Tuanjie, everyone knows that Minnesota is a cold place, especially in the NBA regular season, where the temperature is scary, the average temperature in January is more than ten degrees below zero, Li Tuanjie feels that he can't stand that kind of bad climate.
Moreover, at present, the Timberwolves have the wolf king Garnett, who is a historical-level power forward, even if Li Tuanjie goes in, as long as Garnett does not leave, Li Tuanjie will definitely have no chance to get ahead.
The most important thing is that the hard special sprayer is not only spraying the opponent, he is crazy, even his own people are sprayed, and many rookies who have joined the Timberwolves have sprayed the hard special dog blood on the training ground......
After the Timberwolves are removed, there are only three teams left in Texas.
First of all, the rocket, Li Tuanjie does not exclude joining the rocket, and even has some expectations for joining the rocket, you must know that the current star of the rocket is Li Tuanjie's fellow villager Yao Ming, after entering the rocket, he will definitely get some care.
However, it is not so easy to join the Rockets, the Rockets have a very poor record this year, and they will definitely get a high draft pick, and it is difficult to say whether the Rockets will choose themselves with a precious lottery pick! Most likely, the Rockets will use their second-round picks to pick themselves......
Second round? Li Tuanjie clearly doesn't think he's going to fall to the second round.
At present, Li Tuanjie is already confident that he will catch up with Aldridge in terms of strength, and Aldridge's selection by the top three picks is basically a certainty, if Li Tuanjie is selected in the second round, he will definitely not agree......
This requires Li Tuanjie to show his combat power as much as possible in the joint trial, only in this way can he attract the attention of more teams, and when the time comes, the Rockets are reluctant to sign the lottery in their hands, and some teams are willing to take the first round to pick Li Tuanjie.
Joining the rocket, whether this thing is successful or not, is not in the control of Li Tuanjie, it is more about the choice of the rocket! If they are really willing to use the lotto to draw Li Tuanjie, then Li Tuanjie will naturally not refuse......
(Let's explain it a little, blowout protection...... Who is the owner of the Rockets in the 05-06 season? Maddie or Yao Ming? I think it's Yao Ming, or that sentence, the data speaks, the two didn't play many games that season, Maddie played 47 games, Yao Ming 57 games, of which Maddie averaged 24 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, Yao Ming 22 points, 10 rebounds and 1.5 assists, it seems that the data is up and down, but if you look at the shooting percentage, you know why I say that Yao Ming is the real family, Maddie's shooting rate that season is only 40%...... Yao Ming, on the other hand, is 52%...... Well, I'm not doubting the strength of Maddie at the peak, but that season, I think Yao Ming played better than Maddie at the end of his career...... )
