Chapter 211: Trial Cleveland

Queken Credit Arena, a 20,562-seat arena in Cleveland, Ohio, formerly known as Gunder Arena, has staged countless miracles here.

Huang Xiang and Zhang Ping stepped down from the taxi, looked at the credit arena in front of them, and the corners of their mouths were smiling at the same time, finally arrived, and the flight of more than ten hours was really tiring.

"I'm sorry sir, it's not open to the public." As they walked towards the arena, a security guard dutifully stopped them, smiling like a mockery.

Looking at the security guard in front of him, Huang Xiang smiled helplessly, no matter what the national conditions of the world are, the psychology of the lower class people is the same.

Huang Xiang handed Cleveland's trial invitation to the security guard, the security guard looked at it decently, and then glanced at Huang Xiang in surprise, and after carefully checking with the person on the photo, the smile on the security guard's face immediately turned 180 degrees, and his face was full of flattering smiles.

After entering the stadium, I heard the sound of basketballs and the floor hitting inside, and when I looked at the sound, I saw that there were already more than a dozen players playing in the stadium.

"It seems that you are not the only master who has been invited to try out." Glancing at the venue, Zhang Ping said to Huang Xiang beside him.

Huang Xiang saw Derek at a glance. Williams and Irving, both of whom were members of the U.S. team who had accompanied the U.S. team in Japan, were still very familiar with the two, after all, he had studied these two opponents deeply.

"Huang Xiang?" At this time, Owen stopped the movement in his hand, pulled Williams and said.

"It's been a long time since you've seen you." Huang Xiang waved at Owen and the others, and then walked to a coach-like person on the sidelines.

"Hello, my name is Huang Xiang, and I'm here for a trial." Huang Xiang handed the invitation to Chris, who was sitting next to him. Grant.

Grant looked at Huang Xiang in front of him, his eyes were full of excitement, you are finally here, savior.

On the other side of the court, Scott also walked towards Huang Xiang, for this guy, he still has a little understanding, Huang Xiang's arrival, even Scott is very excited, after all, anyone is willing to teach a talented player.

"Hello Huang Xiang, I've known you for a long time, come, follow me for a physical examination." Scottra walked Huang Xiang to the fitness testing room, and Grant waved at the people training in the field, and then walked into the training room.

Twenty minutes later, Huang Xiang, who was smiling, and Scott, Grant, and Zhang Ping, who were full of surprise, walked into the court, but everyone could see Grant's surprise.

10 seconds 12 seconds in 100 meters, 117 cm bounce on the spot, 133 cm bounce for running, and 5 seconds 35 seconds for the full-time switchback run...... At this point, only the test of three-point and mid-range shooting remains. Grant looked at Huang Xiang with a smile, his personal data was not much worse than James, and some of his results even reached the level of world-class athletes.

"Papapa" clapped his palms, and Grant said to the dozen or so trial players on the field, Okay, today's test is over now, and everyone can go to rest and rest. ”

After listening to Grant's words, everyone looked at him suspiciously, what are you doing today? But then I was relieved, it must be the reason for this kid from China.

Owen glanced at Huang Xiang, winked at him, and then walked to the changing room.

"Okay, Huang Xiang, there are only four of us next, at your request, now you can show your strength, right?" Scott took the record sheet in his hand, looked at Huang Xiang and said.

Huang Xiang waved his hand, then grabbed the basketball in his hand, stood outside the three-point line and took a deep breath, then opened his hands and motioned for Scott to pass the basketball to him.

Scott was not angry, smiled and walked to the basketball basket, picked up a basketball and threw him at Huang Xiang, who had a 14-year basketball career, Scott's hand passed very steadily.

"Hmm" Huang Xiang took the basketball and threw it steadily, although the NBA's three-point line was a little farther away than the domestic college basketball court, but it did not stop Huang Xiang's shooting rate.

"Bumped" the second ball and smashed into the basket, for some reason, Huang Xiang's ball did not fall in.

Huang Xiang's brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head helplessly, maybe he had just gotten off the plane and didn't rest, so he took a deep breath and changed positions, and took Scott's pass test again.

Huang Xiang's next shot continued the magical shooting rate, a total of 20 three-pointers, Huang Xiang hit 18 shots, although it is said that there is no defense, but for a newcomer, this is already a very surprising thing.

Grant and Scott looked at each other, forcibly hiding their surprise, and then continued their mid-range jumper test, and Huang Xiang shot 20 of 20.

After the shooting test was over, Grant and Scott took Huang Xiang to the conference room, Huang Xiang and Zhang Ping sat on one side, Scott and Grant sat opposite, and the four of them began to look at each other wide-eyed.

"Very good, let me tell you, to be honest, Huang Xiang, you are the first choice of the player we are looking forward to, yes, it is you, we are very optimistic about you." In the end, Grant, who had been in an excited mood, was the first to break the silence.

After listening to Grant's words, Huang Xiang and Zhang Ping glanced at each other, as they thought, the Cavaliers really wanted Huang Xiang. Then Huang Xiang motioned for Zhang Ping to answer, after all, he was his agent.

"We can't give you an answer to this matter in advance, after all, this is Huang Xiang's first stop, Huang Xiang needs to observe a lot, and only after trying will he know which one is what he needs most." After getting Huang Xiang's hint, Zhang said indifferently that in front of Huang Xiang, his first eloquence showed Huang Xiang very satisfied.

After getting Zhang Ping's answer, the two were still a little disappointed, such an excellent player is not so easy to meet.

But it is obviously impossible for the management of both teams to fall like this.

"That...... Huang Xiang, we can give you everything you want, your teammates, etc., we will try our best to help you achieve your requirements. Grant looked at Huang Xiang and said, I don't believe that you will not be moved by this request.

Huang Xiang was really shocked when he heard this promise, this is a promise that even Iverson and others did not have back then, even LeBron only had this permission after entering the NBA for a few years, why can they value themselves so much?

Not only Huang Xiang, but Scott looked at Grant in disbelief, of course, what he cared about was his coach's position.

"Hehe, yes, the Cavaliers can't afford to lose, so please think about it carefully." glanced at the three Grants, knowing that what he said was a bit heavy, he immediately changed his words.

"Ahem, in fact, I know your worries, to say something you don't like to hear, another point of your choice is that he can help you defeat a person, defeat a person with dignity. Secondly, it is also very important that China's 1.4 billion market, in any case, getting Huang Xiang is a very successful thing for the Cavaliers this year. Also, there is no doubt about his personal strength, Huang Xiang once fought Johnson and Jones alone, even if this year's popular lotto 12 will be others, no one can stop Huang Xiang's footsteps, so, individual soldiers plus market value and team grievances, the three let the Cavaliers get Huang Xiang is a very beautiful thing, excuse me, am I right or not. Zhang Ping got up and began to analyze Grant beside him one by one, and finally Grant's face turned from white to red, and finally it was completely like a red apple, it was obvious that he had been taken off all disguises, that is, what Zhang Ping said was true.

"Damn, this guy is a computer analyzer." Huang Xiang was secretly happy in his heart, Zhang Ping was not a few years older than himself, but he did turn his brain too fast, it seems that he has found the right agent.

Glancing at Zhang Ping, Grant was very surprised, saying that the Chinese are smart, and today I know how powerful they are, it seems that it is not a simple thing to ask for a bargain.

"Okay, I'll admit you're right, but that also shows that BA is such an existence, but, I know, Huang Xiang was born for the Cavaliers, he fits the system, he fits the city, as long as Huang Xiang joins Cleveland, then I will guarantee that he will get an absolutely wonderful team." Grant said with a smile, although Zhang Ping said everything he thought, but this was also normal.

It's not a big deal, anyone knows that the NBA is a profit-focused business melting pot where one minute they're complimenting you, and the next they're probably trading you.

"Okay, then look forward to having a good time with us during the trial." Zhang Ping got up and shook Grant's hand, then walked out of the room with Huang Xiang.

Looking at the backs of the two, Grant once again strengthened his determination to get Huang Xiang, such a talent, he is bound to win.

In the next few days of trials, Huang Xiang has always been the most dazzling one, even if many people are secretly squeezing out Huang Xiang, but their personal strength is there, and they can't stop Huang Xiang's footsteps if they are crowding out.

On the last day of the tryout, when the results were tested, there were only 8 people left on the 14 roster who participated in the tryout, which means that only these people are likely to be selected by the Cavaliers in the lottery.

The Cavaliers have two positions in the lottery this year, so in addition to Huang Xiang, one of these guys may be selected by the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers are trying out to find a good assistant for Huang Xiang.

Check the equipment on his body again, Huang Xiang twisted his neck and walked into the field, the rules of this game are very simple, there is no time limit, there is no substitute lineup on both sides, which side gets 40 points first is the winner.

Huang Xiang and Williams are also in the group of Allen and Jennings, and the opposite is Irving's Selby, Hamilton and Donatas.

Eight men were in position, and the two big forwards, Jennings and Donatas, of course, became the targets of contention, and the two stood in the midfield and looked at Scott with the ball in his hand.

Scott threw the basketball high and the two jumped at the same time, running to the basketball in the air, compared to Donatas jumping a little higher.

Donatas tossed the basketball to Hamilton, who handed it to Irving, who slowly dribbled the basketball across the halfcourt.

In the face of Huang Xiang's defense, Hamilton didn't dare to be careless, the two had fought countless times when they were in Japan, so he knew how many catties and taels Huang Xiang's strength was.

"Come on, man." Huang Xiang said with a smile in English.

Owen exerted force at his feet, and his body rushed towards Huang Xiang, compared with the time of the Japan Invitational, Owen's footsteps have improved significantly.

However, Huang Xiang will not take this matter seriously, after all, his goal is to win this game.

(Thinking about Huang Xiang's future teammates, there is really no particular suitability, who do you think is good among his partners?) Please, leave a message. )
