Accompanied by Jeremy Lin, Hougist went to Los Angeles to participate in the Lakers' trial held specifically for him, although it was nominally a tryout, but it was actually equivalent to an early welcome ceremony, and the Lakers took care of Hoggist's eating, drinking and entertainment very thoughtfully. Haojist probably guessed that he would be received with a high standard of reception, and wanted to bring Qiu Jingli over to enjoy it, but Qiu Jingli has not been in good health recently, and he is often dizzy, nauseous and tired, so he didn't follow.

After two days in Los Angeles, Jenny Buss and Magic Johnson personally accompanied Hougist to the Hall of Honor on trial day, where the 16 heavy trophies glittered as if to tell the history and heritage of the team.

And when everyone came to see the statue outside the Staples Stadium, the magician asked very seriously, "Mr. Hurley, what should we expect from you?" It's about seeing you as an average star, brushing out beautiful stats on every matchday night to lay the groundwork for your next big contract; Or do you see you as a natural Laker with purple and gold blood flowing through it, taking over the team from Kobe Bryant, shouldering the responsibility of reviving the team, increasing the number of trophies in the memorial to more than 20, hanging his jersey over the arena at the end of his career, and coming back from time to time to tell the children about the glory days of the year under his statue? Tell me, can we expect you in a later way? ”

The Magic's sudden question made it difficult for Hoggist to answer for a while, and the Lakers received him to a high standard and did not treat him as an ordinary rookie. Of course, he is confident that he will be treated better than the average rookie on any team, but there is a difference here, and the Lakers are completely treating him as the next Kobe.

This treatment made him feel respected. gave him the urge to dedicate himself to the Lakers, but his personal friendship with Popovich since he was a child, and the promise he had just made privately that he would join the Spurs at the end of his rookie contract made him very entangled. After all, no one wants to be a villain who doesn't believe in his word.

Now that the magician asked himself almost in the most straightforward way, Hoggist was really embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer, and it seemed that agreeing or not agreeing would make him feel that he had gone against his heart.

However, Jeremy Lin understood the relationship between Hougist and the Spurs, and knew that Hoggist was naturally unable to make a commitment open-mindedly at this time, so he gave the magic a look, came out to play the round and said: "As a person who often plays and trains with Hoggist, I think I still have more right to speak!" Hoggist's professionalism is what I admire the most, as soon as he steps on the pitch, he has only one goal in mind, which is to win, and he can give up those flashy statistics in order to win. Although he still got some pretty exaggerated data in high school and college, it was definitely not a brushing data, it was just a by-product of his strong strength! I was there when he got a five-double, and his rebounds, blocks, and steals were all made to prevent the opponent from scoring at the first scoring point, not the bad behavior of asking teammates to help them get rebounds. ”

The magician saw Jeremy Lin's eyes and deliberately diverted the topic, and guessed that there should be another hidden reason in Hougist's desire to speak, so he didn't continue to ask, but patted Hougist's shoulder and encouraged: "You have a better figure than me, and your skills are more comprehensive than mine, I hope you can become the new Magic of the Lakers!" ”

"You've overdone it, I'm still a long way from you! But don't worry, no matter what the lineup is next season, I'm going to aim for the championship! Although he didn't dare to guarantee that he would play for the Lakers for 19 years like Kobe, he thought he could still do it if he didn't do it wholeheartedly when he played for the Lakers.

Back at the training gym, Hoggist changed his gear and began a symbolic tryout. The Lakers have only prepared a few non-confrontational test items. It is true that because Hoggist did not show his full strength in the NCAA game, the Lakers also want to try where the upper limit of Hoggist's strength is, but the current Lakers lineup is too weak, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as garbage, except for Nash who has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons and is ready to retire and Kobe Bryant, who has not recovered from a shoulder injury, the only slightly stronger is Jordan who has an annual salary of 9 million for 1 year. Hill and Jeremy Lin, whose 15 million annual salary contract has just expired. Hill and Hoggist play in completely different positions, and Jeremy Lin believes that he is definitely not a match for Hoggist right now.

Last year's rookie Julius. Randle had already come out of the lower leg fracture injury in the opener, but the Magic didn't dare to let him easily confront an opponent of Hougist's level, after all, Randle was only a No. 7 show, not to mention that the same team as him considered himself not to be Hoggist's opponent.

Nick. Yang is already strong in attack and weak in defense, and other players with base salaries are not worth mentioning. There is no player who can play better than Haugist, not even one who is close in strength, so how does the magic arrange a confrontational test?

Kobe Bryant would have liked to go head-to-head with Hougist during the tryout, but his shoulder injury will not fully recover until at least September, and seeing that the team will rekindle the hope of winning the championship next season, Kobe Bryant will have to wait patiently for himself to fully recover even if he is itchy.

The non-confrontational tests were not difficult for Hogist, who completed them all with ease as he did in his daily workout, and his accurate projection hooked Nick as he watched from the sidelines. Young's competitiveness, he also got off the court to try his shooting with Hougist, and the result was that Nick, who has always been confident in his projection ability. Yang was defeated miserably.

After this simple tryout, the Lakers are even more convinced that Hougist is the next Lakers icon after Kobe. The Lakers now have plenty of salary space to bring in reinforcements. The champion signed Hogist; plus Kobe Bryant, who returned from injury; Jeremy Lin, who has already negotiated a reservation contract, although he plays decently but has a very stable performance; On the offensive end, Nick has Kobe-like confidence. Poplar; Jordan, known as the Jordan of the Philippines. Clarkson, the Lakers' backcourt has suddenly become richer, and they can even fancy combinations of gimmicks such as the backcourt of Chinese brothers and the backcourt of Asian brothers.

This instead sets off the emptiness of the Lakers' frontcourt, and if they are aiming for a championship, then except for Jordan. Hill and Julius. There is no one available other than Randle, and the embarrassing thing is that Hill and Randle don't even have an advantage in height compared to Hoggist, who has been able to play from the No. 1 to the No. 4 position since his student days, so the withering talent in the interior position is a problem that the Lakers must face now.

But fortunately, the Lakers want to make up for it, and there is only this one problem left, and the Lakers have no chips in their own hands, so they can only play the idea of free agents, and the problem has become simpler. Green, Brooke. Lopez, N'Golo Kante, full free agent with DeAndrew. Jordan, Tim. Duncan, Mark. Gasol, Lamarcus. Aldridge, Paul. Millsap, Whiteside, Monroe, Asik, and ...... Rondo.

Now all Magic has to do is hook up secretly, sign back one or two interior superstars with a cap salary when the free market opens, and the reinforcement work is done.

Hougist ended his pleasant "tryout" trip back to Vegas to start worrying about his little green house invite, while Turner Okafor and Vaughan also completed their trials and returned to their hometowns.

It seems that Joseph also negotiated with Efficient to help them guarantee the selection of their team, as for who will go to which team, Joseph has sold a pass, please look forward to the mystery of the draft day revealed.

Hoggist and they were busy in their own way, and the NBA Finals also kicked off on the eve of Hougist's 20th birthday, and the Cavaliers lost the giant Kevin in the first round. Lefou, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the overtime of the finals G1 injured Kyrie again. Irving. LeBron was unable to stand alone, and although he won two games, he still lost to the Warriors 4:2 and watched the championship being lifted by Curry.

However, this year's big brother LeBron lost to Hoggist, and early the morning after the end of G1, that is, on Haugist's birthday, Qiu Jingli showed him two red lines of pregnancy test sticks.

Haojist, who had been anxious to have a child for a long time, didn't understand what this meant, and was excited to hold Qiu Jingli and go up and down the house several times. It turned out that Qiu Jingli's discomfort before was a reaction to early pregnancy, and it was nearly 7 weeks before her last menstruation.

Since then, Hougist has been more cautious about the invitation list of relatives and friends in the Little Green House, before he said that he would propose to Qiu Jingli on draft night, and now that Qiu Jingli is also pregnant with his child, Hougist has begun to plan this matter more firmly.

When the dust settled on the championship of the NBA2014-2015 season, the draft became the most anticipated thing, and when the league announced the list of players in the Little Green House, Hougist also prepared his own Little Green House invitation list.

On the major draft prediction websites, although the top three or even top five player experts are more certain, and everyone's predictions are almost the same, the predictions behind the lotto area are full of tricks, and there are no two websites with more than half of the prediction lists in the same order. It is precisely because of the uncertainty of this year that the alliance has unexpectedly invited 19 members of the Little Green House.

Hougist, Okafor, Downs, Turner, Winslow, Stanley. Johnson, Devon. Booker, Cauley-Stein, Kaminsky, and even Longday. Hollis Jefferson and Rashad . Vaughn is all on the list. Moodier, who played in the CBA for a year, also returned to the United States to prepare for the election, and because he did not perform well in the CBA, the predictions for him on major websites ranged from 7th to 20th, and his name was also on the list of Little Green Houses.

And thanks to D'Angelo. Russell was eliminated prematurely in March Madness, so not many experts put him in the top 20 of the list, so Russell was also not selected for Little Green House.

On the evening of June 25, at the Barek Center, the draft was successfully held. Hoggist invited his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law from China without Qiu Jingli's knowledge, and the four "old men" sat together with Helian Xi and enjoyed themselves, which became a peculiar scenery in the draft meeting.

Also at the same table were Joseph's family of three, and at this time, most people didn't know that this inconspicuous Chinese dad was the rookie agent who had won the four powerful players led by Hoggist a while ago.

Dressed in a crisp black suit, unlike other players who emphasized flamboyance and individuality, Howgist opted for a very formal dark purple shirt and yellow tie, which was solemn and symbolic of the Lakers' color scheme.

Although Hoggist's silver-white cuffs dazzle in the light, he didn't actually like gold jewelry like other black people since he was a child, and he didn't wear any gold chains, nor did he have the diamond stud earrings that almost became the standard for players, and Hougist's style was a clear stream among many draft players.

The draft officially began, and NBA commissioner Adam Brown. After Shaw finished his regular speech, he announced that time was left for the Lakers, who held the No. 1 pick, to consider.

Hougist nervously glanced around at the rookies around him. As there were a lot of friends sitting in the little green room, they all gave a thumbs up to Hoggist as a sign of encouragement.

Seeing Hoggist's nervous appearance, Qiu Jingli decided to tease him and let him relax, "What's wrong, dear?" You've never been nervous after seeing so many big scenes, why are you so nervous today? Are you afraid that the Lakers won't pick you? When they receive you, they almost think of you as Kobe, and if they suddenly change their mind and don't choose you, they will definitely be treated as mentally retarded! If that's the case, the boss of the Timberwolves will probably wake up laughing in his dreams! ”

Hogist's face was solemn and he didn't answer, but Joseph on the side smiled secretly in his heart: "If my sister-in-law knows that my eldest brother is not nervous about the draft but about the next crazy move, I don't know if I can continue to remain calm." ”

The Lakers barely hesitated, and Xiao Hua received the Lakers' selection decision before he even walked back to the backstage. Xiao Hua walked back to the podium and read aloud: "ith the first pick in 2015 NBA DRAFT, the Los Angeles Lakers select y from UNLV!" ”

There is no suspense, the top pick in the 2015 draft is Hougist! Many Lakers fans on the sidelines erupted in cheers along with the Hoggist table. Hogist stood up and hugged the four elders and Joseph and his wife one by one, I don't know if he was so excited and excited, he forgot to hug his beloved Qiu Jingli!

After hugging relatives and friends, Hogist went around the field and high-fived and hugged all the friends who participated in the draft, Qiu Jingli stood there and stood not, nor did he sit down, extremely embarrassing, how could it be good to be ignored by the person he loved the most? Especially pregnant women will be more sensitive, and at this moment the tears have been swirling in Qiu Jingli's eyes.
