42. Fantasy and reality

"Brother Tyrek, what are you talking about......"

"You see, that's Rubio from Spain, that's Flynn from Syracuse University, that's Curry from Davidson College......"

Sun Ce has tried his best to talk to Evans in the past two days, wanting to get closer.

But Evans, when he was in the room, he focused on playing game consoles, and in the face of Sun Ce's nagging, he only responded occasionally, and now when he arrived at the Oracle Arena, he only nodded when he heard Sun Ce's nagging, and didn't say much.

Sun Ce was also helpless, this type of guy is too difficult to do!

The personality is not bad, there is no bad temper, and he will not be proud or arrogant because he is the most talented point guard in this rookie class, even if it is a Chinese player who is not familiar with the agent shoehorned into his side and let him take care of, he has no complaints......

But it is this kind of character that has no emotions at all, and Sun Ce finds it difficult to deal with.

After two days of contact, Sun Ce can only describe his relationship with Evans in one word - a gentleman's friendship.

Relationship that's called a light!

Sun Ce probably understood why Evans was able to be played by the Kings with an average of 20+5+5 per game in his rookie season.

For a talented rising star who can average 20+5+5 per game in his rookie season, who would want to give way to a rookie point guard to play shooting guard in the sophomore year and a rookie point guard to play small forward in the third year? That's the guy in front of you.

Sun Ce worked hard for two days, but he had no choice but to concentrate and prepare for the trial.

……

The Warriors, who had the seventh pick in the first round, traded the seventh pick in the second round in exchange for the Thunder's second-round pick next season and this year's second-round pick No. 24.

A total of 13 players invited to trial and 103 players applied for trial for this trial, making a total of 116 players come to Oracle Arena for trial.

In fact, the point is that the second-round draft picks attracted many people to apply for trials, and the first round was okay, basically invited to tryouts, and 80% of those who applied for trials were Sun Ce who took the initiative to apply for trials.

By 10 a.m., the Warriors staff split the tryout rookie into two parts and were taken to two areas for tryouts.

The difference in treatment is obvious, Sun Ce is waiting in line for the physical test, more than 100 people are led by more than 10 staff, and more than a dozen people on the other side, and there are more than a dozen staff members......

I didn't have the time to show my skills, I didn't have the opportunity to show my understanding of tactics, and I didn't even have the opportunity to talk to the assistant coach who was in charge of observation.

"Hello sir."

"Hello, boy, your tryout has begun."

With such a simple conversation, Sun Ce was never able to say more than two words to this teaching assistant.

Physical measurement, shooting in each area, speed of ball advancement, running around obstacles with the ball...... After repeating the previous mock tryout, a staff member of the Warriors informed him that he could leave.

It's as simple as that, after the tryout, Sun Ce, along with several rookies under Bill Duffy, who are also candidates for a chance to be drafted in the second round, waited for Evans to complete the tryout.

Sun Ce and his companions were slowly lining up together, waiting for the tryout, and there were only a dozen rookies who were taken away by Warriors head coach Don Nelson and lead counsel Jerry West.

Sun Ce saw that from ten o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon on his side, everyone had finished the trial, but more than a dozen players on the other side had not finished yet......

"What a difference!"

……

……

"Noah, the next Timberwolves tryout is very important, they are the team that is most likely to draft you, they are more hungry for point guard than any other team, you must play your best this time......" Bill Duffy said to Sun Ce very seriously.

"I know, I'm working hard, thank you, Bill, for giving me that opportunity."

"No, it's not the opportunity I give you, it's the opportunity you create by your own performance in the game, if it wasn't for your good performance, those teams wouldn't give you a chance to tryout, you can only rely on yourself to get what you want, and you have to work hard for the next tryout, especially the Timberwolves, they are the object of all the agencies to please."

After the tryout with the Warriors on the 7th, Sun Ce followed Bill Duffy and his party to Los Angeles on the 8th.

No. 9 was a tryout for the Clippers.

In exactly the same situation, the content of the trial has not changed except for the order of the content of the trial.

The Clippers staff were okay, and the trainers and assistant coaches who were in charge of directing the tryouts were numb to tryouts for those who didn't have much talent.

Similarly, after Sun Ce's tryout, he waited with others for the draft favorite Evans to complete the tryout.

In Los Angeles, Sun Ce met Curry again, and the two knew each other, nodding and greeting when they met, and there was no more communication.

After the trial on the 9th, Sun Ce followed Bill Duffy back to Phoenix on the 10th, and because the gap between the Suns' first-round picks and the Clippers' first-round picks was too large, the two teams did not consider staggering the trial day, which was extremely unfriendly to the rookies who applied for the draft.

After Bill Duffy sent Sun Ce home, he immediately went to the West Jersey Arena, which ended yesterday's trial in Los Angeles and came to Phoenix on a six-o'clock plane this morning.

Evans didn't go to a tryout at this time, and he didn't have to think about Evans falling into this position, because he had been excellent at every previous tryout, and even the Clippers, who had the No. 1 pick and were determined to be going to pick White Howard Blake Griffin, were full of praise for Evans in an interview.

may have known Sun Ce's situation with the Suns for a long time, maybe Bill Duffy has communicated with Alvin Gentry, Sun Ce was not arranged by Bill Duffy to go to the Suns for a tryout, let Sun Ce go home to rest, and go to Minneapolis City on the 12th to try out for the Timberwolves with four first-round picks of the fifth, sixth, eighteenth, and twenty-eighth picks, as well as the fifth pick in the second round and the 25th pick in the second round and the 25th pick in the second round.

The No. 13 Timberwolves tryout is comparable to a joint tryout, which will be held for five consecutive days, and the 13th through 17th are the Timberwolves' trial days, and it is also the most important tryout for Bill Duffy's agency.

Bill Duffy went to the Suns for a tryout with another rookie named Earl Clark, who had a chance to be drafted in the first round, and of course, the dozen or so rookies who could be drafted in the second round also went.

The encounters in Oakland and Los Angeles shattered some of Sun Ce's illusions about tryouts.
