Chapter Forty-Seven: Trial Phoenix
On May 31, the Suns, who did not enter the playoffs, began to try out rookies, Li Mojie actually prefers big cities, and does not like to play in small cities, otherwise it can be in California, but there are two kittens this year, and the seventh pick of the Kings can't go, so the Suns have to come if they don't want to come.
In fact, who the Suns will choose for the top pick, we will know the day after Li Mojie's last physical test, and the Suns owner Robert Sarver, who got the news of the joint trial, said directly in an interview with TNT on May 17: "I don't want anyone except Mo Jayer, the new magician, don't mention a trade with me, even if you give me James, I won't change!" "One sentence blocked all the trade lanes of other teams.
In fact, the Suns and Li Mojie have been in contact for a long time, and as early as after they drew the top pick, Ryan McDonagh contacted Li Mojie in an attempt to win over the top pick first.
On the afternoon of the 31st, Li Mojie and his agent went to Phoenix Tiangang International Airport and saw the staff wearing the Suns jersey walking up with a sign. Along the way, the team's general manager Ryan accompanied him all the way, showing him the road signs on the road, Mojie's promotional video has appeared on the screen advertising on the street, in the Suns' main stadium - the Toggins Dick Resort Arena, there is a striking 72-inch large screen on the left side of the door, which is playing Li Mojie's NCAA game highlights, BGM is LIGHT EM UP, watching Li Mojie's blood boiling!
"Oh, look at that, isn't this our future, the new magician Mojie?" At the entrance of the venue, a well-dressed middle-aged white man came up with a hug very enthusiastically.
"Hello, Mr. Robert." Li Mojie greeted politely.
"Oh, just call me Robb. How's it going, have you had a hard time along the way?" Robert Savor asked enthusiastically.
"Well, it's not hard, let's start the tryout." Li Mojie actually felt uncomfortable with this enthusiasm and got straight to the point.
"Tryout? Oh, there's no hurry, we're not going to pick anyone else this year anyway, let's take a tour of the arena first, Ryan follow! Robert waved his hand, and he didn't mean to take Li Mojie for trial training at all.
Then the Suns accompanied a large group of people, walked around the inside and outside of the arena, and went to the surrounding area to play. Tryouts? didn't exist, he served Li Mojie with good food and drink, and almost didn't call a few young ladies to accompany him. Then Suns team manager Ryan introduced a big wave of Suns rising plans, and then asked, "Major, would you like to come and play for our Suns?" ”
No, to be honest, really not, I want to go to the Knicks, I want to go to the Bulls, I want to go to the Lakers, I want to go to the Clippers. Li Mojie complained in his heart. Phoenix, literally translated as Phoenix, is the capital and largest city of Arizona, United States. Phoenix has a dry climate, with the highest average annual temperature among any major city in the United States, and a subtropical desert climate.
Worldwide, only a few cities near the Persian Gulf, such as Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Baghdad in Iraq, have higher average annual temperatures than Phoenix. On average, 89 days a year in Phoenix exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), and it's the site for almost all of the time from June to September. On June 26, 1990, the temperature in Phoenix reached 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius), the hottest day on record. Summer nighttime lows often exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius), with average nighttime lows of 83 degrees Fahrenheit (28.3 degrees Celsius) in July and 84 degrees Fahrenheit (28.8 degrees Celsius) in August. The highest lowest temperature on record was 96 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius) on July 15, 2003. Summers are dry and hot, while winters are warm and suitable.
In 2000, Phoenix's racial structure was 71.07 percent white, 5.10 percent African American, 2.02 percent Native American, 2.00 percent Asian, 0.13 percent Pacific Islander, and 16.4 percent other races. Of these, 3.28 per cent were of mixed race of two or more races. 34.06% are Hispanic or Hispanic.
I don't want to come, but what can I do, even if I say I don't want to come, it is estimated that the Suns will still choose Li Mojie. Just like in 2016, Simmons repeatedly rejected the 76ers' trial invitations to him in order to join the second-pick Los Angeles Lakers, and also threatened the 76ers that if the 76ers chose him, then the 76ers would have one more parallel champion. Even his agent claimed that Simmons did not have the strength of the champion in order to avoid the champion, but it was not an egg, and none of the general managers in the league were not slippery, who believed this stupid talk! By the time of the draft, the 76ers still forced Ben Simmons under their command.
If this year's second pick is the Knicks, Lakers, Clippers and other big city teams, then I have to play this kind of drama, and it may even be more excessive, but unfortunately the second pick is the Cavaliers, who are worse than the Suns, I don't want to go to a ghost place like Cleveland, and there is already a lone Irving in the team, plus I am a ball bully, I am a rookie and can't suppress Irving like an old man, and the two have to fight.
So, come to think of it, it's better to stay with the Suns, at least here is the undisputed No. 1 core. The lesser of two evils, life is like a clapp, since you can't refuse, you can only enjoy it.
So Li Mojie tried to squeeze out a smiling face: "Yes, when I was a child, I watched Nash and Xiao Si play, and at that time, the Suns were bombarding the team, the top team in the league, and almost won the championship." "It's a pity that we were beaten down by our Lakers in California. In the latter sentence, Li Mojie complained in his heart.
Sure enough, when they mentioned the sun during that time, Ryan and Robert both smiled brighter.
"yes, alas, that's our Suns' best chance to win the championship." Robert said with a look of chagrin.
"It's okay, now we have hope for the future, don't we? Rob. Ryan next to him comforted.
What can Li Mojie say now, he can only nod his head again and again and say yes, he will not live up to everyone's expectations.
Until Li Mojie left, he did not exercise in the stadium.
Soon, Ryan McDonagh said in an interview before the draft: "I've seen the video of Major's game, we've already decided. He is very athletic and very fast. He's got the big picture and his passing beyond our imagination, he's still getting better and he's never been complacent. I think he's a much more mature player than he really is, even if he hasn't played a single NBA, but I think he's going to adapt to the NBA very quickly and get stronger and better. ”
The management of the Suns is now looking at Li Mojie, just like Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, looking at James, his eyes are blazing, and there is probably only one thought in their minds - "He is ours, and we will not change anyone who comes!" ”
The Phoenix Times, in its analysis of the lotto show, focused on boasting about the prospective champion. On the offensive end, he averaged 26 points per game in the NCAA, and they believe that Major's possession is extremely fast and small. He also has excellent physical coordination and strong core strength, and can often make defenders lose their balance. It also allows him to attack the rim at any time and be able to play with dexterity, even when blocked by a big man. He can also show off the small throws that defenders often use.
On the defensive end, Li Mojie's defensive awareness and positional sense are very good, the lower game is very stable, and his arms can be defended from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position. He also has an excellent judgment on rebounding, averaging 6-7 rebounds per game in the NCAA. Furthermore. Li Mojie's steals and blocks are also excellent, averaging 1 blocks per game and more than 1 block, he is a true talent with all-round skills.
Kenny Smith once said of Li Mojie: "He can change the trend of the whole game, he can assist, he can break through, he can pass the ball on the field, you think this is not enough, he also has several times stronger desire to win than ordinary people, which makes him never satisfied with victory."
As the NBA draft approaches, the agents and predators in the league have stepped out and begun to use the power of the media to stir up the storm and raise the value of their players. For their own benefit.
Fleichel didn't need to do this, and he was now in full swing recruiting employees for Team Lee. Even if these predators hype their players hotly, they can't snatch away the champion throne belonging to Li Mojie, because the data is over there, and the Suns only have Li Mojie in their eyes. The other people in the tryout were just going through the motions, and if they really had brain cramps and didn't choose Li Mojie in the draft, Gilbert of the Cavaliers would probably wake up laughing in the middle of the night.
