The following days, Addison threw himself into a second round of tryouts, and this time the boys were scheduled to go to Philadelphia first. But in one round of tryouts, the 76ers were all around the University of Kansas' super-center Joel. Embiid turned, already boasting last season's Rookie of the Year Mike. Carter. Williams' 76ers didn't pay much attention to Addison, and the shortcomings of the Chinese boys' inconsistent shooting made it logical for them to think that Addison was not good, just touted by the media.

So Sam. Bernie also gave up going to Philadelphia for a second-round tryout, and the two went straight to Sacramento.

Addison's performance didn't disappoint anyone, as he met UCLA guard Zach during the Kings' training camp. LaVine, a defender who was one physically better than Addison, was overpowered by the boys in three-on-three matches and bullfights.

Of course, Addison lost to Zach in the mid-to-long-range fixed-point projection. Levine.

Dalisandro was full of praise for Addison after the trial, and it looked as if he wanted to keep the boy on the team that day. Receiving this formal guarantee, the Addison duo left the gym unharmed, and Dalisandro was ready to give the uniform team an order to use their first-round pick No. 8 to draft the talented point guard from Duke University.

However, on the same night he made up his mind, Dalisandro received a phone call from his colleague, Miami Heat general manager Pat Brown. Riley's phone.

"I hope you're not calling me for the first-round pick, Mr. Riley." The general manager of the Kings was cautious from the moment he picked up the phone, and now he doesn't want to be exploited by anyone.

"We're all businessmen, so we don't have to hide anything." Pat. Riley chuckled twice, then got straight to the point, "I know you guys want to use that No. 8 pick to pick Addison. Ahn, actually, Miami really wants to get that point guard. ”

"It's a shame that we're at the top of the draft, aren't we? It seems that the Heat don't have that opportunity anymore. Dali Sandro replied with a smile, unsure of the meaning of Riley's call.

"I mean, I want you to pick Addison, please make sure you pick him." Pat. Riley said another word that made the other party baffled, and he paused, then lowered his voice, "Then, I hope to be able to get that kid from the hands of the Kings." ”

Dalisandro raised his eyebrows: "...... Do you want to make a deal with us, Mr. Riley?? ”

"Yes, that's what I meant, I want to trade from you to Addison. Quiet. The general manager of the Heat finally showed his intentions.

“…… I want to know your price, Addison is the cornerstone of our future team, and I can't choose to trade him without enough price. Dalisandro's mind is coming alive, and now there are a lot of players on this Heat team that he wants, and while Addison is indeed good, his excellence lies more in his potential. If one potential can be traded for a couple of excellent instant power, such a deal for Dalisandro is acceptable.

"I need to wait until the end of the season for the Heat to start negotiations," said Pat. Riley made his own request, and now that the Heat are still sprinting for the championship, it is impossible for him to split the team at this time, "Don't worry, I will definitely come up with a price that is sincere enough." ”

Dali Sandro naturally understood what the other party meant, and he thought for a while: "Okay, then we can keep in touch at any time, Mr. Riley." ”

"No problem, stay in touch at all times."

Pat after putting down the phone. Riley smiled, and the other party agreed to his trade intentions, and the plan was half done for him.

The other half is up to God to give him, the Heat, and the city a chance......

Riley, who was in deep thought, received another phone call, from someone he hadn't expected.

"I'll be going to the gym tomorrow," Dwyane said on the phone. Wade's low, calm voice said, "Let's see if that rookie is as good as you say." ”

The smile on Riley's lips was even more pronounced, the Heat were now battling the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, but Wade returned home and didn't take advantage of the free day to rest and wanted to go to the training gym to watch Addison's tryout.

I'm afraid the Heat's team spirit has already smelled some unease in the air, such as his best friend LeBron. James' flickering words on the issue of contract extensions.

"I personally think you're going to see a great show tomorrow, Dwyan, and he's better than the media says." Riley assured with a smile.

"I hope so." Wade's voice is still not high-pitched, and his mood has not been happy these days because the team has reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Because he had a bad premonition, it seemed that the day was about to fall apart for the championship team he trusted......

The next morning, the crowds outside the Heat's rookie camp weren't dense and turbulent, and for Miamians who like to enjoy it, they should be at home breathing in the fresh seaside air and eating some refreshing breakfast.

However, the stadium was already ringing with the sonorous sound of a basketball hitting the ground, and the Chinese boy ran to 45° to the right of the free throw line, received a basketball from the assistant coach from the baseline, and then jumped high with his excellent bounce and threw the ball.

The ball slammed into the basket, bounced off and crashed into the net. Addison, who was taken aback, breathed a sigh of relief, and although there were some twists and turns, the ball was finally scored.

Addison is a key player, and the more important the moment, the better he feels, and this time he played a lot better than usual in the spot-up test...... Of course, he still has a long way to go before he is excellent.

“OK！！ Very good, keep it up, Eddie!! "Sam. Bernie encouraged the boy, knowing full well that this was Addison's superordinary.

"How are you feeling??" Pat on the sidelines. Riley asked the strong, dark-skinned man beside him.

Dwyan. Wade's expression was a little strange, and he folded his arms: "I haven't seen anything else, but this rookie's shooting reminds me of my rookie season." ”

As a member of the 'Golden Generation' in '03, Wade, who led Marquette University to the NCAA Final Four, was selected with the fifth pick in the first round, which had a lot to do with his 'extremely inconsistent shooting ability' at the time.

Now Wade's words don't know whether it is emotion or sarcasm, but the 'Flash' has a smile on his face, and he looks at the boys in the field with interest to continue the test.

Then, the scene that completely shocked him appeared......
