When Yiyang broke through Evan. Turner's defense then faced fellow tryout rookie center Hassan Brown. As Whiteside's block gently picked the ball into the basket, 76ers general manager Stephensky, who was watching from the sidelines, nodded approvingly.

After a trial trip to San Antonio, Bill. Duffy took Yiyang to Minnesota and Sacramento.

And on June 15, ten days before the start of the 2010 NBA Draft. Yiyang came to the penultimate stop on his tryout road, and the highest draft pick of all the teams interested in Yiyang, Philadelphia.

Stefensky, the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, is very interested in Yiyang, and he always feels that this cold-looking guy can inherit the mantle of AI.

But again, Evan. Turner's strength is also something that Stephansky cannot ignore. This college day has become the all-around outside line of the American star, and he also put in a good performance in the tryout.

Now, Stephensky is in a bit of a quandary. Yiyang and Turner are both excellent, but he can only take one person from them. Even though Yiyang has an immeasurable Chinese market behind it, what the 76ers need most now is results. As long as the results come out, I am not afraid that there will be no market.

While Stefansky was thinking, Evan. Turner hit another three-pointer in practice. This guy's confident expression and mature style of play made the balance in Stephensky's heart tilt slightly.

Turner, Yiyang, Turner, Yiyang...... Stephensky closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. This question may not be decided for a while. One is combat power, one potential. Stephenski didn't know which one would be a better fit for the 76ers, who were in dire need of results right now.

"Boss, do you want another session?" It wasn't until the referee shouted on the field that Stefansky came back to his senses.

On the training ground, the players have played a full three quarters of a five-minute quarter. Judging from the data, Yiyang's 8 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds are very comprehensive. And Turner's performance of scoring 16 points in 15 minutes was even more eye-catching.

Who to choose? Stephansky was undecided. He just waved his hand and signaled that the trial was over.

Seeing the players walk off the pitch individually, Bill. Duffy immediately got in front of the 76ers general manager who was in a dilemma.

"Well, his performance is amazing enough!" Bill. Duffy is full of confidence, and although Yiyang doesn't score as much as Tenardo, his ability to control the pace of the game on the court is beyond the reach of all the rookies who came to tryout.

"It's really great, and you know, we've been observing for more than a day or two. His performance was even better than we could have imagined! But ......"

Hear this but, Bill. Duffy's smile vanished in an instant.

However, Turner was just as good. I can't give you an accurate answer right now, Duffy. All I can say is that we'll keep an eye on him, and maybe in 10 days, he'll be the leader? Stephensky smiled at Bill. Duffy, Duffy is not stupid, after he thanked him stiffly, he turned around and returned to Yiyang.

Unlike when he "promoted" Yao Ming, this time Bill. Duffy's path to recommending Yiyang does not seem to be going well. The general managers of each team were satisfied with Yiyang's performance, but none of them said that they would definitely choose Yiyang.

This is not because Yiyang is not strong, but in today's world, the management of various teams is paying more and more attention to draft picks. When they get a high draft pick, they are eager to make a comeback with that pick. Take a look at the Cavaliers who drafted LeBron, and look at the Thunder who drafted Durant and Westbrook...... In a gambling-like draft, managers of each team can only be cautious to ensure that they are making the right choice.

Because of this, there are very few people who guarantee in advance which rookie they will pick in advance. Many teams don't even make a final decision until a second before they make their choice.

Bill. Duffy knew that the current general managers were getting more and more difficult, and he and Yiyang did everything they could. Now, just wait for the draft to decide their fate.

"Hey, you're playing well!" Bill. Duffy smiled again and went up to pat Yiyang on the shoulder.

"Did they say they would choose me?" Yiyang asked bluntly, the closer he got to the draft, the more Yiyang wanted to know his fate.

"Of course they'll pick you! Don't worry, we've got a lot of potential next homes! "Bill. Duffy showed his friendly smile, and with this experienced manager by his side, Yiyang also felt a lot more relaxed.

"So now, we've got only one place left to go." Yiyang said, walking towards the players' locker room, preparing to leave Philadelphia.

"Yes, there's one last stop." Bringing up this last stop, Bill. Duffy didn't have much to look forward to. Originally, Philadelphia was Yiyang and Duffy's last stop. But the next team, they took the initiative to contact Duffy.

In order not to stiffen the relationship with the other party, Duffy agreed to take Yiyang to the trial.

It's not bad to go to one more place anyway, Bill. Duffy, the right to take this kid Yiyang on a trip.

Let's hope everything is okay for the next draft.

※※※

"Are you sure this guy deserves this?" Outside the airport, two men in sunglasses and peaked caps were chatting casually.

"The draft has never been determined, and the teams that get the top pick are likely to be selected for parallel imports. I just thought we could try it on him. ”

"He's really good in college, and hopefully, this kid can get a foothold in the NBA."

"I believe that under Jason's tutelage, that guy will grow up very quickly. I can only bet on it, buddy, and for the championship, I can only bet on it! ”

On the airport's large electronic screen, ZPH7609 the flight from Indianapolis has landed. The two men began to lean towards the pick-up gate, and the guy in their hearts who could help them break the ice was finally about to appear.

"There are so many people here!" After getting off the plane, Yiyang could clearly feel that the city was much denser compared to other places.

"Do you think it's a city like San Antonio? It's a Texas metropolis, man! "Bill. Duffy looked at Yiyang's dizzying expression and smiled. In the future, a much bigger scene than this will be used to by Yiyang.

As Yiyang and Duffy walked towards the exit, a huge poster hung on the wall inside the airport. The poster has a simple phrase: "Welcome to Dallas."

As soon as Yiyang and Duffy appeared, Mavericks owner Mark Brown came to greet him. Cuban and the team's general manager, Donnie. Nelson found them.

"It's finally here, Duffy, we've been waiting for a long time! Hey, and welcome to Dallas! "Mark. Cuban smiled kindly, without the slightest hint of the team's owner's swagger.

Yiyang stiffly shook hands with Cuban and Nelson, having traveled so many cities, this was the first time that the team owner and team general manager would come to greet him in person.

"Actually, you don't have to bother, it's not far to take a taxi from here to the U.S. Route Center Arena." When Duffy learned that Cuban and Nelson Jr. were coming to greet him and Yiyang, he himself was a little flattered.

Yiyang is just a rookie, not an all-star. Even if Dallas really wanted him, it would be too much of an exaggeration.

"To the arena? No, no, no, you must not have eaten yet, have you? I booked a place at a nice Chinese restaurant, so let's go to dinner and see the sights of Dallas before we talk about tryouts. Kuban led Yiyang and Du Fei into the car that had been waiting outside the airport. Yiyang's eyes looked straight at all this, he grew up in Wood District, but he had never been treated like this.

After lunch and a car ride around most of Dallas City, Yiyang and Du Fei were finally taken to the training ground. It was only when he came here that Yiyang knew what he was going to do.

"Why did you come?" As soon as Yiyang changed his clothes and stood on the court, a big blond man in casual clothes greeted him. Yiyang looked up and saw that it was none other than the European basketball legend, the symbol of the Dallas Mavericks, the "German chariot" Dirk. Nowitzki!

"I took them around town." Cuban smiled and replied that his team's box office guarantee was also his best friend.

"Hey, welcome, yes, we've been paying attention to you for a long time." Nowitzki and Cuban finished talking, and walked over enthusiastically to hug Yiyang.

Yiyang didn't do anything, just stood in place, letting Nowitzki hug him.

In the face of an enthusiastic basketball legend, the average rookie is sure to become more enthusiastic. But Yiyang, he still seems to be cold.

Maybe it's a little embarrassing to see the scene, Bill. Duffy clapped his hands, diverting everyone's attention. "So, when we warm up, let's start the trial."

Running, height touching, body data measurement...... These things are inevitable wherever you go.

After that, Yiyang went through a series of basic tests. But for Yiyang, who has been on trial for more than a month, these things are simply handy.

After passing these tests one by one, Cuban called many coaches to the training ground for the last item of this trial. Bill. Duffy watched the dozen or so people play, and he had no idea what Cuban was trying to do. Could it be that he wants Yiyang to stage a drama of passing several people from the backcourt to complete the attack? Even if you want to see it, there are too many of them.

But then Duffy realized that things were not what he had imagined. The coaches were randomly distributed in various locations on the basketball court, and then Cuban began to explain. These coaches will pass the ball to Yiyang, and the moment Yiyang receives the ball, one of the coaches will raise his hand to ask for the ball. What Yiyang has to do is to pass the ball over in the spot with the shortest reaction time and the most accurate! Of course, these coaches will not take the initiative to receive the ball, and Yiyang must accurately deliver the ball to them.

This thing is very new to Yiyang. Kuban also saw that Yiyang's lazy eyes seemed to have become energetic.

After the explanation, the training began. Yiyang stood on the halfway line, a coach passed the ball to him, and after that, a coach under the basket raised his hand to ask for the ball!

Yi **Ben did not hesitate, and directly smashed the ball to the floor. The basketball slammed into the floor, passing two people who were close to the passing route. After that, the basketball rebounded, impartially, and accurately passed into the arms of the coach who asked for the ball!

“WOW！” Dirk. Nowitzki couldn't help but exclaim, this kind of long-distance precision ground-hitting pass is always full of spectacle. What's more, this long biography has also passed through several people!

"I said, he's special!" Cuban looked at Nowitzki's surprised expression and smiled smugly.

After the ball, a coach behind Yiyang shouted and raised his hand. Yiyang turned around quickly, and as soon as the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the position of the player who wanted the ball, he immediately played the ball.

The basketball flies quickly and straight, and once again passes accurately into the opponent's hands. These actions are completed smoothly, and it seems that it is not effortless at all!

After a few passing attempts, Yiyang completed very well. Dirk even thinks that this is not a trial at all, but a show set up by Kuban specifically for Yiyang! Yiyang is among them, just use unscrupulous show-off skills!

Cuban was smiling from ear to ear on the sidelines, and as for Dirk, this guy was already thinking about the O'Brien Cup!

After the trial, Cuban and Nelson Jr. took the initiative to greet them, and they unabashedly expressed their love for Yiyang.

"He's really great, Mr. Duffy, and please be sure to tell him what a wonderful thing it is to play in Dallas!" Cuban held Duffy's hand tightly and seemed to grasp the last piece of the puzzle on the Mavericks' path to a championship.

"I know you're genuine, and I know it's great to play in Dallas. But...... Mr. Cuban, as far as I know, this year's Mavericks don't even have a first-round pick. And my client, there should be no chance of falling into the second round. What Duffy said is why he hasn't cared much about the Mavericks. Because of a second-round pick, Dallas has no possibility of selecting Yiyang at all.

"I'll worry about draft picks, Mr. Duffy. I'm going to tell you right now, I'm willing to trade for a high-pick pick! Cuban's determined gaze made it impossible for Duffy to question his words.

Kuban looked confident, and he meant it as if he were talking again. "Yiyang, this player, I'm going to be decided in Dallas!"

The spurs, the undecided 76ers, and, right now, the Mavericks, who are a little too enthusiastic......

Duffy looked at Yiyang, this guy's draft may be full of unprecedented uncertainty.

Where do you start your career? Now, even the experienced Bill. Duffy, he felt like he couldn't predict it.
