"Old man, don't flatter me like that! I'm still a kid! Haugist's face was red to the base of his neck.

"So I decided to wait for you for four years to get you and Kewai. Leonard has become the latest combination of the Spurs together, and together they have led the Spurs to another decade or even twenty years of glory! I've got you all figured out the name of your group, it's called the 'HK' group! What do you think? Loud, right? Popovich asked.

"Uh...... I don't think it's loud......" Hougist said speechless.

"Kehuai, how about that name! Kawai ......" Popovich turned his head to see Leonard on the other side of the couch already drunk and unconscious. "Alas, this kid is too bad at drinking, and he will have to practice more in the future......"

"Just let him sleep here," Popovich poured Haugist another glass of wine, "let's continue to talk about you!" ”

……

The day passed, and Popovich had lunch and dinner brought to his office, and Leonard woke up and was thrown over by Popovich with a glass of vodka. Under Popovich's coaxing, coercion, coercion, and temptation, Haugist drank nearly a whole bottle of red wine, which seemed to be due to the oriental blood in his body, Haugist could still stay awake and not drunk, but he felt that his consciousness was a little far away from his body, and his body reaction was half a beat slower than what he wanted to do.

After chatting all day, Popovich made the bottom of Haugist clear, but the same Haugist guessed Popovich's team building ideas and plans for the next few years, Popovich's plan is very grand, and the details are also very meticulous, he intends to use about five years to naturally transfer the team's focus from the "GDP" three old guys to Leonard, and all the reinforcements during the five years are based on speed-oriented and flexible players with one-handed adaptability, and strive to speed up the Spurs. Get the ball moving and look for open shots between quick passes.

Hougist believes that this idea is right, Leonard as an outside player, if he is the core, speed and space are the inevitable two needs, the five-year plan This kind of moisturizing and silent transformation method is the least damage to the performance, and the style of play of Xiao Kuailing has gradually regained popularity in the era of increasing proportion of three-point shots, so it is imperative to slowly transform to the small ball style of play.

For Leonard's development prospects in the Spurs, Hoggist is still very optimistic, after all, the defensive end is super capable, and the offensive end is Hougist and Chip. England will also get better and better under the tutelage of England, and as Popovich said, Leonard is heading towards Paul. Pierce's direction, Paul. Pierce's level is more than enough to be the boss of the team. And Leonard's current personality is caused by the loss of his father at an early age, and the Spurs, a team with a big family atmosphere, Popovich and Duncan's fatherly and brotherly care is also suitable for Leonard's integration.

As for what Popovich said about waiting for four years, if he runs for election after his freshman year, he will not hesitate to get himself. But Hougist doesn't care too much, his level is there, there is no problem in the future election, he believes that there is no problem in the little green house, he has not yet decided which team he wants to go to, sometimes he even wants to go to a weak team, he feels that he can easily emerge in the bad team, quickly occupy the starting position, and make a reputation, he also fantasized that Carry has been a bad team to the playoffs, all the way down until the championship. Of course, who doesn't have some heroic dreams, and as for whether they can do it, it depends on the development of Haugist.

Because Popovich also asked the team doctor to take Haugist to do a growth test, the Spurs' team doctor expected Hougist's height to eventually be between 6 feet 5 inches and 6 feet 7 inches, Haugist was looking forward to his height, he was a little disappointed to learn this result, after all, he grew to 6 feet 3 inches before he was 15 years old, he once imagined that he could rise to more than 6 feet 9 inches, with his skillful dribbling, good sense of rhythm, and accurate shooting touch, he became a big killer in the point guard position, Just like Durant and young Nowitzki, he can shoot suddenly, and like Magic and LeBron, he can pass and control.

But in a blink of an eye, Hogist thought about it, even if it didn't stop for a long time now, he was also with Stephen. Curry, Jeremy Lin, Corey. Joseph, Russell. Westbrook is as tall as they can get a foothold in the NBA, so why can't I? When it comes to projection, I'm better than Jeremy Lin, right? In terms of the Great Chrysanthemum, I'm not worse than Joseph, right? In terms of appearance, I'm much better than Westbrook!

Hoggist used the disadvantages of others to compare his own advantages, and his self-confidence immediately returned. Carrying a drunken Leonard out of Popovich's office, the night's recovery training in training camp was over, and LaVine and Hollis Thompson didn't leave and were still waiting for him in the training hall.

"Boss, you're not going to be the unspoken rules, are you? Why did it take so long to come out? I didn't expect Popovich to be old and strong! I actually played two at the same time, and I played all day! Ravan teased without hesitation.

"Next!" Horgist was not angry after hearing this, and directly threw Leonard to LaVine, almost smashing LaVine on his head. "Why are you so rogue at such a young age, aren't you ashamed to say it? Punish you for carrying Kehuai back! ”

LaVine caught Leonard only to find out how strong Hougist was, just now Hougist carried Leonard downstairs but walked like flying on the ground, and he was almost pressed down by Leonard. Just now, Hoggist was able to make so many fouls against Leonard, and finally played 2+1, many training camp students led by Booker thought that Leonard was too watery, and they didn't think that the intractable game was because of Hoggist's strong strength.

"This big brother's name is kawaii? I thought he was a 'little melon'! However, the name is as cute as the little melon. LaVine struggled to hold Leonard and yelled at Hollis Jefferson, "Come and do me a favor, this big brother is too heavy!" ”

The two walked back behind Leonard and Hoggist, to whom he replied, "His name is Kowy, Kowy. Leonard, not kawaii, spelling differently! He's the Spurs' most valued rookie this year! ”

"The heaviest rookie is about the same, I'm tired and vomiting blood!" Ravan grumbled in the back.

"It's time for you to practice this strength, it's okay if you can't fight against light energy flying, why don't you feel tired?" Hollis Jefferson was on the side and despised LaVine.

"If you don't feel tired, you can carry it yourself! I said why am I still so tired carrying it, it turns out that you are lazy over there! Laven retorted.

"Am I lazy? Leonard has most of the weight on my side, okay? Besides, this is entrusted to you by your boss, and if you talk nonsense, I won't help you! Hollis Jefferson said angrily.

"Alas, okay, okay, I'll definitely train my strength when I go back, okay!" LaVine had to give in first, "By the way, boss, you two have been on it for a day, what did Popovich tell you?" ”

"I talked to him a lot," Haugist pointed at Leonard, "you see the two of them are talking and talking and drinking to their heart's content, so don't they just drink Kehuai." Popovich is planning to use this big brother as the Spurs head card after 'GDP' to cultivate! There was a lot of talk about team building ideas, tactical systems, and so on. I didn't say anything to me, I just praised my solid basic skills, the future is limitless, and I also took me to do a growth test, and I was going to be unhappy again! ”

"What's wrong? Have you grown to the limit? Hollis Jefferson asked curiously.

Laven also urged on the side: "Boss, don't sell it!" Let's talk about it, how much can it grow? Or has it grown to its head? ”

"Alas!" Hogist looked up to the sky and sighed, "I can only grow to 6 feet 7 inches at the tallest, and there is very little hope of going higher." ”

"Phew!" Hollis Jefferson exclaimed, "6 feet 7 inches isn't tall enough? How tall do you want to be? Why do you still want to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? ”

Hollis Jefferson was still angry after scolding, pointed at Leonard and continued: "This guy is only 6 feet 7 inches, he is already the next top name of the Spurs, how tall do you want to be, and your style of play is very suitable for the 1-3 position, is your dream to be a 'big forward' or 'center back'?" ”

"Who says tall people can't play 1-3? You see the magician, Kevin. Durant, Lamar. Odom, Peja, Paul. George, Sun Yue, aren't they all playing in the No. 1-3 position? Besides, this year, the single-core led the team to the finals and played with the Heat Big Three, and Dirk, isn't it also a scoring guard's style of play! Why can't I do it, this height shoots at medium and long distances, and there is almost no interference from the neck up, and the ball is like shooting in an empty position, isn't it beautiful? Hoggist longed, or could be said to care, lewd.

"Come on, if you play the No. 1-3 position with this height, the ball will be broken by the opponent like a grandson!" Hollis Jefferson said disdainfully, "Also, is there a strange name mixed in in your example?" ”

"Broken like a grandson? That's someone else! At my level of dribbling, it's not so easy to break me! 'Haugist is confident in his possession.

"I think it's easy for Leonard to break your ball!" Lavin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst out of a sentence.

"Uh......" LaVine's sudden cold arrow caught Hoggist off guard, but fortunately Hoggist read Leonard's scouting report in Popovich's office, which wrote an evaluation of Leonard's defensive ability - a historic perimeter defensive gate. Hoggist hurriedly retorted: "Do you think Leonard is a cat or a dog? His defense was rated as historic by the Spurs' scouts, and I was cut off by him! If it were you, standing in front of him with the ball, I am afraid that the ball would be gone after only 3 seconds, and you don't know how it didn't work! ”

"That's an exaggeration! Don't flatter yourself by elevating others! "Hoggist's description of Leonard's defense LaVine didn't believe it at all, not a word.

"Hehe, believe it or not, I was abused and cried by him when I entered the alliance in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance." Hoggist is likely to be teammates with Leonard in the Spurs in the future, but he is not worried about himself, and these friends will enter the league in the future, and Hoggist will not mind seeing them in trouble.

The content of the conversation with Popovich was covered up by Hoggist, as for why Hoggist chose to hide the truth from the two Lavins, it was because Popovich's guarantee was purely empty and there were too many variables in four years, and now it is too bizarre to say that Popovich is about himself, no one will believe it, it will only be heard as a joke by everyone, and if there is a deviation in the draft, then the shame will be thrown to his grandmother's house, and this kind of uncertain thing Hoggist will not do.

LaVine and Hollis Jefferson carried Leonard back to the dorm room, and LaVine felt a little more tired than after a day of golf, so he took a shower and went to bed early. Haojist originally wanted to tell Qiu Jingli about these things, but he always felt that this matter was too variable, so it was better to wait until he had the bottom in his heart!

After the rookie tryout, Leonard returned to California the next day, and the story of Hougist's infinite ability to "carry Leonard alone" also spread in training camp, and Booker decided to avoid his edge for the time being, not to challenge Hougist in the training camp confrontation program, but to focus on abusing vegetables to improve his leaderboard points. The day's training was a lot easier.

In the evening training, Hougist took a leave of absence to hide in the dormitory to watch the fourth game of the finals, but at the beginning of the game, LaVine returned, and Hougist asked curiously: "What?" Training session ended so early tonight? ”

"Hey~ Don't mention it, it's so unlucky, I accidentally twisted my foot." Ravan said dejectedly.

"Are you still pretending to be with me? Is it to resume training at night, can you still break your foot? You want to escape back to watch the game, right? Haugist saw through Lavin's disguise at a glance.

"You can see this? That's right, who let Coach Fucier not be allowed to take a vacation! I had no choice but to flee with a wound! Who doesn't want to watch the finals! But Coach Faucier is not allowed to leave anyone, why did he approve your leave? Ravan saw that he was seen through by Haugist, and changed to a hippie smile.

"Why did you grant me leave? If you look at the standings, it's only been 3 days since the training camp and I'm already ahead of you by a few points, do I just take a day off and don't train for first place or believe it or not? If you can perform as well as I do, I guess the coach will be willing to give you a holiday! Haugist said proudly, but he was also muttering in his heart, is this the preferential treatment that Popovich specially gave me in order to win me over?
