In the evening, I returned to the hotel and reported to Coach Romar for the first time about the situation of today's arrival.

The latter gave a brief admonition and hung up.

Lying on the bed, Deng Hongfei remembered the list that the person secretly stuffed to him during the day.

He quickly took it out of his pocket and unfolded the neatly folded piece of paper.

The above content shocked his eyes at once.

A handwritten letter from Celtic general manager Angie?

Looking at the handwritten notes on the paper, Deng Hongfei was silent for a long time.

Is this really an invitation from Angie?

There was sincerity between the lines, and he was a little skeptical.

Deng Hongfei is actually quite clear about his own strengths and weaknesses, and I heard that this year, the Celtics only have one first-round pick and 16th pick.

The 16th pick represents the first choice outside the lotto area, which is quite valuable.

Deng Hongfei was a little unimaginable, the other party took the initiative to send him a letter, which means that he was very interested in him?

It's just that why didn't it go through John Nynon, but let people stuff it to themselves?

For a while, Deng Hongfei was a little uncertain, pondered for a while, and was ready to pick up the phone and tell his agent about the matter.

But as soon as the finger touched the phone, the screen suddenly brightened, accompanied by an incoming call, showing a string of unfamiliar numbers.

Picking up the phone, Deng Hongfei said suspiciously: "Hey, hello." ”

"Hey, is that Chris Deng?"

A slightly clear old male voice sounded on the opposite side.

"Yes, I am."

"Hello, get to know me, I'm Mitch Kupchak."

"Kupchak?"

Hearing this name, Deng Hongfei's ears were like a thunderbolt, and his whole mind went blank in an instant.

He forcibly endured the surging and churning of his heart, and replied in an astringent voice: "Hello. ”

"Chris, the reason I'm calling you is because I've seen your performance at the Nike Summit, and tomorrow at the interview at the Chicago Joint Training Camp, you can go directly to Room 15 on the third floor and interview with our Los Angeles Lakers interviewer."

Kupchak seemed to feel the young player's heart in his throat from the silence on the other side of the phone.

He couldn't help but smile and hung up the phone.

Deng Hongfei's hand here was slowly put down with some trembling.

Los Angeles Lakers.

While he's been playing in Seattle, the Lakers have been a long-time fascination with him.

I grew up watching Kobe Bryant's ball, and my playing style and technique were also born from the latter.

It would be wonderful to be on the same team as Kobe Bryant one day.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, and after a while, he clenched his fists and sighed excitedly, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow more and more.

"Jingle bell bell bell."

The phone rings again.

This time it's from Anji......

After talking to the other party on the phone, Deng Hongfei was convinced of the authenticity of the letter.

He pondered for a long time, and probably knew why Anji wanted people to secretly hand him an interview letter.

The NBA teams are competing with each other, and a rookie may not want to be too bullish on a rookie, and if he doesn't keep it right, he will attract the attention of other teams, so as to get involved and increase the value of the rookie.

Anji is scheming in this regard, so Deng Hongfei didn't let him get his wish.

Instead, he told agent John Nynon that the Lakers' Celtics had invited him.

After the latter learned the news, he was silent on the phone for a long time, and finally scolded in a low voice, "Anji, this old fox! ”

"I went to him at the time, you know? He threw me out! Let me! Chris, you must not join the Celtics, Angie is an old fox thief, he never loses in business, he will make the highest profit when he is the highest, and let your profit be the lowest. ”

"This is the principle of his business, he is very thief!"

John Nynon kept shaking his head, and finally sighed, "I'm sorry, I did say this with some personal feelings, but this is really not nonsense, anyway, you think about it yourself, perform well tomorrow, it is a good chance to be selected by any team." ”

"Whew."

At the end of the conversation, Deng Hongfei collapsed on the bed a little tired.

The draft isn't just about the team picking themselves, it's also about picking their own teams.

After he finished washing, he tossed and turned under the quilt, couldn't sleep, simply turned on the light and took out his tablet, called up the recent trade news of major teams, and the lineup that may take shape next season, and analyzed what choice he should make.

Looking at it, I was sleepy, and finally closed my eyes unconsciously.

Early the next morning.

Deng Hongfei and John Nynon met under the joint trial building in Chicago.

"How? Deng, are you sleeping well? A good rest is a strong guarantee for your excellent performance, don't be nervous, relax, your strength should be outstanding in this rookie, I don't believe that these people will miss you. ”

He carried a briefcase and hurriedly followed Deng Hongfei's side, constantly cheering and cheering.

The latter smiled, "John, don't worry, I'll behave well, wait a minute, interview or physical test first?" ”

"Let's do it first." John Nynon said: "NBA teams are all good guys, and they will get your data as soon as you finish the physical test, so that combined with the interview performance, you can come up with the best selection. ”

"Listen, Deng, in this physical test, your only opponent is yourself, don't care how other people play, understand?"

"Understood."

While talking, the two of them signed in to receive the training card and walked quickly into the venue.

Although it was early in the game, there were already a lot of players gathered in the stadium.

In addition, the staff and media reporters in the major test areas are not as crowded as yesterday, on the contrary, they seem to be a little less popular.

"Steven Adams, 6 feet 10.75 inches (210 cm) without shoes, 7 feet (213 cm) tall with shoes......"

A large, white man with a strong body and powerful arms stepped out of the static testing area.

His various data are displayed on the screen next to him.

John Nynon whispered, "Steven Adams, from the University of Pittsburgh, is a New Zealand player with great rebounding ability, and is almost a sure lottery (top fifteen) player. ”

"He's here to be in the top five."

While listening, Deng Hongfei nodded.

In fact, he doesn't need to test static data, and there is clear data on the interface of the training king system.

During this time, his height without shoes increased by another 1 centimeter to 197cm, and his arm span also increased to 210cm.

The +13 arm span height difference is quite good.

The real challenge lies in the dynamic testing that follows!
