The tryout in Sacramento went a lot smoother, and Kings general manager Pete Brown. Dalisandro and the head coach watched Addison's test from the sidelines.

"Yes, he's nice and a natural organizer." Mike. Malone looked at the boy on the court with admiration as he tested the dribble, "He's definitely going to play really well next to Rudy and DeMarcus, and I'm sure he can make those two better." ”

"If we can talk to Rudy and let him play more balls for this first-year, it will make the team run more smoothly and Rudy and DeMarcus won't go down...... I guess maybe they'll agree. "We're definitely going to go far this season, at least in the playoffs." ”

"These are the questions that can be solved, Pete, and the main thing is what kind of draft pick we can get." Malone's brow furrowed.

Last season, the Kings had a 28-54 record and finished 13th in the West. That record should guarantee them a top pick this year, but the draft draw doesn't say for sure. If they get the pick after the tenth, it won't be easy to pick Addison again. While there weren't many teams hungry for a point guard in 2014, the Kings weren't the only ones.

"If that's the case...... We are looking for an upward trade!! Dalisandro said in a resolute tone, he was determined to win Addison.

With the enthusiasm of the Kings' uniforms, Addison and Sam left Sacramento, and it was a good trial trip overall, and playing here would be a good option if you could.

"Next is our most important stop," the agent told the boy on the plane to Miami, "Add, let's stop being conservative when we get there, and use all our strength." ”

- Don't worry, Sam, I know what to do. Addison smiled and looked out the window at the wide area that was gradually covered by clouds, and he was in a good mood.

Miami, the second largest city in Florida, is located in Biscayne Bay, Florida Peninsula.

As the largest city in the South Florida metropolitan area, Miami has a population of more than 5.59 million people, making it one of the most densely populated cities in the United States.

It is a melting pot of cultures, heavily influenced by the large Latin American community and the Pirate inhabitants of the Caribbean, and has close cultural and linguistic ties to North, South, Central America and the Caribbean, and is known as the 'Capital of the Americas'.

The year-round gentle sea breeze, tall palm trees and beaches with passionate bikini girls are some of the city's most impressive sights, and its mild climate and scenery make it ideal for vacations or retirements.

When it comes to Miami, the NBA team that represents the glory of the city has to be mentioned - the Miami Heat, one of the most watched teams in the league in the past decade.

Whether it is the 'Big Shark' O'Neal and Wade winning the first championship in team history in '06, or the formation of the 'Big Three' in 10 years, this team can always gain the attention of the media and always become the guarantee of the league's ratings.

Now this Heat team has the 'first man in the league' LeBron. James, has Miami's eternal team soul 'The Flash' Dwyan. Wade, who has an All-Star level inside liner. Bosh, along with several former All-Stars or powerhouses, is campaigning for a fourth championship in franchise history.

In this way, it is incomprehensible that a championship-level team with a strong roster would be interested in Addison. However, Addison is well aware of the reasons for this, and his agent is also well aware that the general manager of the Heat, Pat Brown. Riley knows better that no one knows the current state of the team better than he does.

Salary space is so large that it is already bloated, the championship squad is gradually aging, and there is an imbalance on the inside without a box protector...... All of this has added to the obstacles to the Heat's three-game winning streak. But the main thing, too, is Pat. Riley's most cautious guard is LeBron, the team's current core. James' thoughts.

The shrewd Riley knows LBJ's style well, and the current 'No. 1 in the league' is a successful man who always puts victory and commercial value first. LBJ is more of a businessman and schemer than a pure player, a perfectionist who pursues a successful life, he wants to be honored and praised, but at the same time, he also wants to get benefits...... Great benefits.

James has big ambitions — his billion-dollar business empire, becoming an NBA legend beyond Jordan, and even retiring from the league to have a say in the league.

If LBJ were a businessman, Riley, such a shrewd and ambitious partner, would not let it go; But as a player, LBJ is a great distress for the general manager of the Heat.

Since the beginning of the season, the team's uniform team has been discussing a contract extension with James, and the answer has always been vague, whether it is LBJ himself or his agent Richie. Paul, didn't give the team an accurate answer.

Until now, Riley has not received a reply that James is willing to renew his contract with the team even after the end of the season. The old man is already very clear, he knows that this aging Heat team may not be able to keep this 'No. 1 man in the league'.

As LeBron. James' title is like 'Emperor', there is no nostalgia in the dictionary of emperors, although there is his best friend Wade here, although the Miami terroir gives him endless enthusiasm, but for the sake of victory, for the dream of his own business interests, LBJ will not stop his steps.

The only lever now is whether the Heat can win the championship for the third consecutive year this season, and if so, then James may consider a contract extension; If it fails, then LBJ must go.

Riley hasn't told anyone the news yet, though, and he's a savvy businessman enough to take advantage of the last bit of value in LBJ. As long as James remains with the Heat for one day, it will be a huge attraction for other players to renew.

But that doesn't mean Riley just sits in his office and waits for the end of the season to be results, as the old man, who has achieved glory and success as both a manager and a general manager, has already begun to plan ahead.

Just like now, he stood on the sidelines of the training ground, with a personable smile, watching the Chinese boys in the field go through test after test.

"Trust me, Sam, Miami is definitely the best place for Addison." The old man spoke in a rich tone with Sam. Bernie talked, "There's Dwyan, there's Chris, and they can provide excellent protection for Addison's growth. ”

"I know that, Mr. Riley, otherwise we wouldn't have made Miami our last tryout." Sam replied equally tactfully, "But I have a question, based on the Heat's record this season, it should be difficult for you to draw the lottery pick this year, right?" ”

Addison's draft market this year is basically a top-10 pick, and judging from the Heat's posture of reaching the Finals at least this year, their first-round pick is likely to be after the 20th pick.

It would be foolish to want to use such a priority to select Addison......

"There's a method of operation in this alliance called 'trading', haven't you heard of it??" Pat. Riley folded his arms over his chest, slightly curled the corners of his mouth with a confident expression.

Sam. Bernie turned his head, he was curious to know what kind of trade the cunning team manager would use to get Addison, but apparently the other party didn't want to reveal the information so early, and Sam simply didn't bother to ask. After all, the two sides are still only interested in each other, and they have not made up their minds that they must be each other.

Perhaps knowing the importance of this trial, Addison performed quite well in the following tests, and even the mid- and long-range projection test, which he was not good at, played better than usual.

Pat. Riley and Sam. Bernie was quite satisfied with this, and the general manager of the Heat spoke to the media that day of the interview with Addison: "Addison has amazing physical gifts, has a lot of basketball skills that are not like a rookie, he is really ready to enter the top league, I think he will be a good fit for Miami." ”

Now almost all of the United States knows that the Heat want to get a Chinese boy, and generally speaking, the uniform team will not reveal it in advance when they want to select a rookie, otherwise they are likely to be robbed and blackmailed by the team ahead of them.

But now the Heat are in the opposite situation, they simply don't have the right draft pick to select Addison, Pat. Riley was making a hint that the Heat could trade for the rookie and even give some of the starters on the roster......

***

The first round of tryouts came to an end, and Addison returned home to San Francisco to continue his individual training, and he didn't plan to give himself time to rest this vacation, or training was a kind of rest, and he wanted to use this summer to make his shooting no longer a malaise.

The 2014 NBA Draft lottery was held after the first round of rookie tryouts, and Addison watched it live on the television.

No one would have imagined that the first pick in the first round would be the Cleveland Cavaliers, who ranked 10th in the East this season, and the chance of being drawn with the first pick was no more than 10%. Unexpectedly, this time they really surpassed the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers and other bad teams in the front row, and got the first pick for the third consecutive year.

The Milwaukee Bucks, who are at the bottom of the standings, got the No. 2 pick, according to Addison's friend Jabari. According to Parker, the Bucks are likely to use the No. 2 pick to draft Duke's talented forward.

On the contrary, the Philadelphia 76ers, who are committed to messing up, only got the No. 3 pick in the first round, which shattered their dream of winning the championship again, and the 76ers' general manager Xinki's heart should be broken at this time, and Philadelphia is about to become a 'waste city' in the league under his swing policy.

However, the Sacramento Kings who paid the most attention to Addison were the Sacramento Kings, who ended up with the eighth pick in the first round, which may be more appropriate if they used this pick to select Addison.

As for the Miami Heat, there was no place for them in the lotto zone, and they ended up drawing the No. 26 pick in the first round, which in Riley's view was clearly a draft pick to be traded.

INTERVIEWER It looks like I'm going to make a choice in Sacramento or Miami in the future. Addison sent a text message to his agent, and after the first round of tryouts, basically the top 10 teams had their favorite candidates, and only the Kings and Heat who clearly expressed strong interest in Addison were the Kings and the Heat.

As Sam. As Bernie said before, this isn't a year of extreme hunger for point guards, and basically every team has a relatively reliable No. 1 position.

"I've already made plans and we'll only go to two places for the second tryout, first to Sacramento and then to Miami, and I've turned down all the other tryouts. Now is the time for both sides to show their sincerity, and we will benefit from it anyway. "Sam. Bernie made a decisive decision, he is not worried that his employer will not have a team to choose from, and now the situation is in their favor.

The boy lying on the floor of the training hall exhaled a long breath, and even the calmest person can be nervous when making decisions about his future, not to mention that he is only a big boy who is about to turn 19.
