The Rockets certainly have a chance to pick themselves, as long as owner Alexander, general manager Morey, or head coach Adelman has someone who values him, they can use the players on their team to seek a trade in exchange for a top-10 pick, just ........

Although Totoro has played a decent number of statistics in the NCAA, he has not brought his varsity team to the National Finals after all, and he is just a rookie who has not proven himself at all.

There are a lot of people like him in the United States every year, but there are very few people who can make a name for themselves in the end, and the best example of this is last year's champion, Greg Oden.

This rookie, who is about the same physical talent as Big Shark O'Neal, was blown into the sky long before the draft, far beyond the average strength, height, reach, tank-like tonnage, forward-like speed and bounce, as well as delicate interior footwork and soft hook hands, and most importantly, he also has a basketball IQ that does not match that of a black man, and he also has a profound attainment in defensive skills.

Before he entered the NBA, a group of experts predicted Oden's brilliant future and awarded him the title of the Great, but the world unexpectedly, the center destined to enter the Hall of Fame has not even officially started, and has not even played a preseason game, Oden underwent minimally invasive surgery on his right knee, which led to the announcement of his reimbursement for his entire rookie season........

And there are many such examples in the history of the NBA, whether it is because of injuries and falls, or because of basketball IQ and various reasons, there are countless examples of rookies who are thriving in the college league and depressed in the NBA arena.

Therefore, unless they can really impress the management of the Rockets with their actual strength, it is estimated that it is also a small probability event to let them exchange the veteran players who have been famous in their team for a rookie who does not know how the future trajectory will develop.

As soon as I walked into the Toyota Center, I was fascinated by the spacious environment.

Located in the heart of Houston, Texas, USA, the Toyota Center opened in 2003 as a hockey rink not only for basketball.

The Toyota Center can accommodate a total of 18,000 fans, the stadium is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide, with a large rocket logo printed on the center line in the center of the field, a huge square projector overhead in the center of the field, and next to it is a two-year huge championship flag and several retired jerseys of great stars.

The Houston Rockets are not strictly a long-established team, they have won a total of 2 championships in their history, and one was retired in the middle of Jordan, so there have been voices from the outside world that the quality of the Rockets is a bit unworthy of the name, and it is a bit of a loophole in the absence of Joe's gang leader.

"My neighbor totoro, I'm so nervous, do you think the Houston Rockets will take a fancy to us, they don't seem to have a second-round pick this year, right? Do you think I'll be able to log in to the NBA? ”

Rand, who was on the side, asked his Asian brother a little apprehensively, because if Totoro is still a little well-known NCAA star, then he himself is a small character who can only shoot three-pointers with height defects.

"There's nothing to be nervous about, your three-point ability is good, your sense of the ball is okay, the big picture is good, Adelman's Princeton system here likes your point guard, and your style is just right for this team."

In fact, Totoro didn't know where his fate was, he just tried his best to comfort his white big brother, after all, he was not sure about anything before the official start of the draft.........

"Hey, here."

The two of them came here together, this is the spacious Toyota Center basketball hall where there are already a lot of young players in training, Totoro did not see his big brother Yao Ming, people are still in Beijing at this time to prepare for their own Olympic Games, now here are all a group of young players like themselves.

As soon as they stepped onto the court, an old man with a white beard immediately waved his hand at the two of them, motioning for them to come over.

"Hello, I'm Dunn, assistant coach of the Rockets, and I've heard Yao mention you, and as Yao's compatriot, he appreciates your potential."

The old man immediately introduced himself, and as for how he recognized Totoro, it was too simple, there was only one Asian face in this year's 100 rookies, and there were only three Asians in the entire NBA.

Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, among which Yao Ming needless to say, because he has to perform famously in the United States, and Yi Jianlian, who has a mediocre performance, has also gained great exposure due to the domestic media and the operation of the agent team behind him.

So even with it, his authentic Chinese face was also stained with a little light, which left a relatively good impression in the eyes of those scouts.

"Thank you for giving me this tryout, I'm going to try to impress you guys, my friends and I love the Houston City and the Rockets."

Seeing that the other party was so polite to him, Totoro quickly bowed his head to show his loyalty, and brought his white big brother with him.

He's not a high-spirited or nobody-to-all person, and even though he's cheated and has almost NBA-historic physical talent, Totoro is still humble in his usual life.

Because he was a depressed college animal in his last life, it is difficult to change the personality, especially after the person is 18 years old, it is difficult to change the essence of a person even if the living environment is different........

"You're too modest, we also fancy your talent to give you this chance to try, okay, now you hurry up and test it, let me see with my own eyes how perfect your God-made gift is."

Dunn immediately burst out laughing.

Americans have always given others the impression of being arrogant, arrogant, and proud, but it is undeniable that those are the lower classes of the Americans, and the truly well-educated Americans still like those polite young people.

Dunn has seen too many unbeatable blacks and whites in the past few days, and now when he sees Totoro who is polite from beginning to end, isn't this gap suddenly reflected?
