The Chicago Tribune's report started a wave of "landing." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Without waiting for Pelinka and Zhou Zhongjing to respond, a large number of reprints were reprinted on major websites and Twitter, and a number of online media followed up and published a number of comment articles.

"Ludon's agent, Rob Pelinka, turned down a tryout with the team after the 10th pick, did he think Luden was Wiggins and Parker? The website predicts that the Lakers will pick up Lu Deng with the No. 7 pick, and if you were Kupchak, would you do such a stupid thing?

"Look at what Kupchak said, 'I haven't met Luden yet, and as for who the No. 7 pick is, I think we're going to pick someone the Lakers need.'" Well, he refused so tactfully, I'm afraid it was to take care of Kobe and Pelinka's face. ”

At least five or six commentators cited Yi Jianlian's example: "Do you remember Yi Jianlian in 2006? The Bucks wasted a No. 6 pick on Yi Jianlian, and any team that wants to pick Lu Deng should have a good 'review' of that year's draft report. ”

After another half an hour, Yahoo Greatness WOJ launched a weighty roundup article that comprehensively analyzed the draft prospects of this year's rookies.

However, when predicting the draft pick, Woj was not optimistic about ranking Lu Deng outside the top 20.

It seems that everything is moving towards a situation that is not good for Lu Deng.

Lu Deng came back from running with Gu Tingcheng, saw Zhou Zhongjing's face solemn, and asked, "Teacher Zhou, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Zhongjing handed the mobile phone to Lu Deng: "You can take a look at this first." ”

Lu Deng took the phone, and after a cursory browsing, he laughed.

"You can still laugh?" Zhou Zhongjing said, "It's easy to improve the prediction order, now it's okay, once back to the pre-liberation period." ”

Lu Deng disagreed: "Don't be so pessimistic, the Chicago Tribune's speculation is reasonable. What I say, instead of being secretive, it is better to be upright. Passing five levels and cutting six will rely on strength, not luck. Teacher Zhou, call the big radish and kill Chicago. ”

Zhou Zhongjing couldn't help shaking his head, and secretly thought: Pelinka is right, Lu Deng is really too carried away! This is the NBA, this is not CUBA.

Lu Deng accompanied Gu Qingcheng to breakfast, and Zhou Zhongjing went to Pelinka worriedly.

……

"Lu Deng will participate in the joint trial in Chicago."

News of Lu Deng's signing up for a trial at the Chicago Union quickly spread throughout the league.

The Chicago Tribune's report in front of the story made this matter attract attention and quickly entered the hot search list.

Before Lu Deng left for Chicago, Pelinka specially held a press conference in Los Angeles to denounce the Chicago Tribune reporter for spreading rumors and slander, and by the way, he scolded Fagan for being bad behind his back, and revealed:

"Behind the Chicago Tribune report, the promoter is a well-known agent, who once represented an unsuccessful Chinese player, and the reason why he spread rumors to slander Lu Deng is because Lu Deng did not choose him as an agent, so he said that grapes were sour when he couldn't eat them, and united with unscrupulous reporters to make up nonsense......"

Before Lu Deng signed up for a joint trial, and then Pelinka held a press conference, public opinion reversed again, and many media and teams rekindled their expectations for Lu Deng.

The fire that should be extinguished is extinguished, the fire that should be burned is burned, and the next thing is to see the real joint trial. How high Lu Deng's level is, whether he is a mule or a horse, he is pulled out for a walk.

……

The four-day Chicago Joint Tryout, with a total of 60 candidates, was the largest trial before the draft officially began.

Pelinka explained many details of the trial for Lu Deng in advance: "In addition to the actual confrontation, each team pays more attention to the 'interview' link, each team can interview up to 18 players, and communicate with each player for up to 30 minutes, and determine the upper limit of a player, by no means simple strength, but the player's character and desire to win, so we must not only perform well on the field on this trip, but also excel in the interview session." ”

Pelinka said, handing Lu Deng a brochure: "100 questions for NBA interviews." ”

Well, this is the second guidebook Lu Deng received, and last time it was a "hundred questions" made by South China to "deal with" Pelinka.

This time, it was Pelinka who conducted an interview and asked questions to deal with the managers of various teams.

Similar to the civil service interview, the manual is full of empty words such as "team first", "winning is more important than everything", "basketball is life", etc...... It turns out that chicken soup is also popular in the United States.

Pelinka "Balabala" said all the way, and it was almost like "one-on-one" interview coaching.

The Gu family has arranged for Lu Deng to stay in the Gu family's super five-star "Shengtang Hotel" in Chicago, and Gu Tingcheng accompanied him throughout the whole process, serving as Lu Deng's personal tour guide and bodyguard.

Fat Wei was so envious that he was dying of envy: "When can I meet such a beautiful woman, willing to be my bodyguard, even if it is ugly and fierce, I am willing." Alas, this is fate, and you can't buy it with money. ”

……

The day before the joint trial, Lu Deng's team decided to firmly grasp the right to speak in their own hands and hold another press conference after full research.

Lu Deng deliberately arranged the location of the interview at the Shengtang Hotel, by the way, to promote the Shengtang Dynasty and repay the hospitality of the Gu family.

Lu Deng's team thought that there might be a lot of reporters, but what they didn't expect was that so many reporters would come. There are more than 10 Chinese media in China and the United States alone.

More than 30 other radio stations, television stations, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, and Asian media from Japan, South Korea, and other places came. It adds up to more than 40.

It's no wonder who is the most topical among all the rookies in this year's class?

Lu Deng, of course.

"White Hair War" is popular on the Internet; Challenge Wall to be evenly matched; Before he participated in the draft, he was put on the spot by the Chicago Tribune; Then he officially announced that he would participate in the Chicago joint trial, and the agent released the wind: he wanted to shock the world with a shocking performance......

Looking at all the rookies, who can attract the attention of all the media without playing a game.

Everyone wants to see where Lu Deng is sacred.

There was still more than an hour before the press conference, and almost all the media came to take their seats in advance and wait for Lu Deng.

Among them was Wallace, the reporter at the Chicago Tribune who "smeared" Luden.

He is an old fritter in the sports department of the Chicago Tribune, and most of the old fritter reporters are "thorns"?

At this press conference, he tried to make things difficult for Lu Deng.

Wallace exchanged words with a reporter next to him: "'White-haired war' and 'not accepting joint trials' are just gimmicks." I don't believe an Asian defender can compare to Wall. If you want me to see it, he is another Yi Jianlian, I'm afraid he can't even speak English, believe it or not, I scolded him in slang so that his translator couldn't understand it. Wait, I'll embarrass him. ”

The reporter next to him nodded frequently.

As the press conference was about to begin, Pelinka repeatedly told Lu Deng in the waiting room: "Be careful of falling into the trap of reporters' questions, remember, if you say too much, you will lose, and if you can answer a question in one sentence, never say two sentences." Also, don't be provoked by reporters, don't say anything too rampant, don't bow your head, don't pick your fingers, don't scratch your head, don't touch your nose......"

"Okay, okay, I see you're more nervous than I am."

Pelinka said to himself that I wasn't nervous, do you think these reporters are easy to deal with?
