May is a busy month for American basketball, as players from the U.S. and overseas who decide to participate in the draft begin to be busy with rookie camp and tryout invitations from various teams to maximize their value and ranking in the upcoming draft.

May is also the time for NBA superstars to start fighting the court at all costs, and the fires of the playoffs are intensifying, and every eligible team will be fighting for the glittering O'Brien Cup.

As many basketball pundits have predicted, 2014 was a big year for the draft that has been coveted by countless teams' uniform crews. Wiggins and Jabari. Parker will be able to get those team managers to fight for the top spot in the lottery.

As an NCAA star-level point guard and the 'Duke Devil' who led the team to a championship, Addison naturally received many tryout invitations from teams with high picks.

After winning the NCAA championship and winning the Final Four MOP, Addison was selected to the NCAA All-American Second Team and All-American Defensive First Team as a freshman.

Such accolades, especially the selection of the defensive team, undoubtedly added positive colors to Addison's draft market. A common flaw among rookie players is a weak defense and a lack of adequate defensive skills, and players like Addison, who have been able to defend well since college, will undoubtedly be the focus of the team's uniform team.

This is the case with his agent Sam. Bernie is undoubtedly well aware, and it is through this analysis that he has brought up several teams that are most suitable for Addison to go to the trial.

The Sacramento Kings, Philadelphia 76ers, and Utah Jazz are all three teams that have a good chance of picking up the top picks in this draft, and they are desperate for a good point guard.

Of course, in addition to these three teams, Sam also focused on the trial plan for another team, even though this team will definitely not get the lottery pick in this year's draft - the Miami Heat.

"The Heat's uniform team expects far more from you, and even gave you a tryout invitation to the team's general manager, Pat. Riley sent it personally. Sam said to the boy, "The Miami has already sent me the news ahead of time, and after the end of the season, LeBron will be able to do so. There's a good chance James will opt out of his contract and stop signing with the Heat. LBJ's move is likely to cause many players on the current Heat team to choose to leave, at which point the Miamins will be hungry for a point guard who can control the game more than any other team. And you, Eddie, are undoubtedly the best player for their requirements. ”

Mention Sam. Bernie, a young white man in his early thirties who is also a rookie in the agent field, met Addison because of Coach K.

Sam studied sports economics and management at Duke University in college, and originally wanted to become a professional basketball player, but his mediocre talent and physical fitness made him abandon this plan. After graduating from college, Sam obtained his agent qualification certificate and officially became a sports agent in the basketball field.

It's just that as a rookie, his network is still too narrow and shallow, and so far he has only two players under his banner, one is working hard for the Denver Nuggets to be able to get into the rotation, and the other is working hard in overseas leagues.

Sam had a good personal relationship with Coach K, and it was CoachK who encouraged Sam to become a basketball agent, and he felt that this physically weak young man would be very talented in this area.

In order to give some help to this young man who is still in a period of confusion, Coach K Sr. Bernie introduced Addison.

Unexpectedly, these two players and the rookie of the agent actually talked very well, but in one afternoon, Addison decided to hire Sam as his agent.

The agent who was able to become an NCAA star-level player made Sam. Bernie's ecstasy also gave him a new career motivation, and now his work basically revolves around Addison. After all, this is the first test of his professional ability, and whether Addison can join a team that he likes and is suitable for him will mean a lot to his future career path.

Sam. Bernie's idol is the famous basketball agent Bill. Duffy, he admires the professional style that Duffy dedicates himself to his players. It's only when the players who hire you feel that they are 100% valued and treated that you get something in return – a phrase that Sam has adopted as his professional credo, and it is this phrase that made Addison determined to sign a contract with the young man.

Addison's first stop, the tryout in Salt Lake City, was not a smooth one, and in fact, he suffered a bit of a setback there.

In the Jazz's training camp, he met Australian guard Dend, who was also physically fit and more than 10 centimeters taller than him. Exum, Addison didn't get any bargain in a one-on-one bullfight between two people, and was even faintly suppressed due to his height.

However, in the next three-on-three game, Addison shined, scoring 8 points, 12 assists, 3 steals and 3 rebounds in 20 minutes.

Although Exum also scored 10 points, he only had a measly 1 assist stat, and in Addison's opinion, the Australian is far from understanding what a point guard should do on the court......

However, the Jazz's uniform team did not favor Addison because of this, on the contrary, they did not give the Chinese boy face in any interview with the media.

"Can such a guy also be called the next star-level defender?? Aside from his speed, I can't see where he's starry enough?? His shooting, from 10 feet under the basket to beyond the three-point line, is more erratic than a woman's menstrual cycle, and it is hot and cold to the point of panic. His passing was so flashy and unexpected that sometimes even his own teammates were tricked into doing so to make the crowd scream.

"As for his defense, I know he's been selected for the NCAA's All-American Defensive Team, but it seems to me that this kid's height of only 6'1" will sooner or later become a constraint and a leak on the defensive end in the increasingly three-dimensional NBA."

Such an evaluation makes Sam. Bernie directly exploded in private: "F*ck!!" Did we have a feud with the ancestors of these guys in our last life?? Could it be that Exum's kind of guy who just rushes to the basket with his head down is to their taste? Don't these idiots understand what it means to be a point guard? ”

- Well, what they say doesn't seem to be completely out of the ordinary, at least the shooting is inconsistent and I can't argue with that. Addison was a calm acceptance of this, but that didn't mean he thought Dent. Exum will be better than himself, and that guy didn't perform much better than himself in the shooting test.

Although the Jazz's uniform team doesn't have much influence in the national basketball world, this blunt criticism has led to a slight drop in Addison's draft ranking predictions on the NBADraft website, from the original 9th pick to the 12th pick.

Addison, who was silent about this, immediately took action when he returned to San Francisco, and the boy who had an unusually low-key daily life became extremely paranoid as soon as he touched the basketball. The outside world is generally not optimistic about his projection ability, so he will use his own actions to destroy this view.

Joe's financial power is affluent even in the United States, and they have a sizable home in San Francisco with leisure facilities such as an outdoor pool. In order to allow Addison to better practice basketball, Joe specially built a small training hall on the side of the boy's house for Addison to conduct personal training during the holidays.

It was here that Addison began his project, and the boys brought in Al Ay, the shooting coach of the Duke Blue Devils. Horsman, who was paid by the hour to direct his own shooting drills.

In order to make Addison a real court master, K spent most of his time in tactical understanding and field control organization training, and he was naturally a little relaxed about shooting, coupled with the boy's wide and slender palms and strong arm strength, it would indeed have an impact on his shooting feel.

So the use of this holiday season is especially important, and before entering the top league, Addison is determined to make sure that his projection ability is qualified or even higher.

But life is always a double-edged sword, there is a frustrating side, there will be a side that brings you hope.

The 2014 Chicago Rookie Training Camp was released, and Addison's physical test data surprised basketball experts across the United States.

No one would have thought that such a yellow-skinned Chinese would have such a terrifying physical fitness. Especially with a weight of 75 kg, he can push the standard bench press of 84 kg 13 times...... To know that Delon, who weighs more than 90 kilograms. Williams only pushed about 15 times when he was promoted as a rookie, and the boy had upper body strength that was completely out of proportion to his weight......

In the final comprehensive physical fitness ranking, Addison ranked third on the entire rookie list, second only to Canadian flyer Andrew who has exploded his physical fitness to surpass human beings on Earth. Wiggins and UCLA's point guard Zach Brown. Levine.

Coupled with the boy's age advantage of only turning 19 in October of this year, this huge physical potential immediately made countless uniforms in the league want to get him, and his pick in the mock draft rebounded again, rising to the sixth pick in the first round.

"The physical test data was released at the right time, and now those grass-like guys are starting to tout about your bright future again, as if they had never mocked you before." Sweating profusely, Addison lay on the smooth floor of his training ground, looking at Sam. Bernie couldn't help but laugh when he sent the message.

- Where are we going next, Sam?? The boy editor sent good news.

"We're going to Sacramento tomorrow with Cousins and Rudy. Guy, it should be a good choice for you as well. The Kings' uniform team wasn't too happy with the performance of several of their point guards last season, and they couldn't wait for a No. 1 who could distribute the ball well and do a good job of playmaking on the court. The agent's reply came immediately.

Cousins and Rudy. Guy...... Addison grinned, both guys did have the strength to close to or even reach All-Star level, but the boy was skeptical that the two of them would have an IQ of more than three digits when they were on the court. It's not like he hasn't partnered with teammates with personality problems, but Addison is still a little resistant to this.

Apparently Sam. Bernie thought so too.

"But the Kings aren't our first choice, the Miamians just sent us another tryout invitation, and it seems like they're the team you crave the most. In every respect, Miami is a better choice than Sacramento. ”

A better choice...... Addison narrowed his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the training hall, silently repeating this attractive phrase in his heart.
