None of the four teams that Lehi tried out for him in the first round. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Bruce Baker called, his voice a little trembling, "Lee, don't worry, something went wrong, I've contacted those teams, they're all still paying attention to you, and both the Bobcats and the Heat have said they're absolutely willing to sign you." ”

Lehi hung up the phone and cursed secretly, and quickly checked the signing positions of Charlotte Bobcats and Miami Heat.

In the second round, the Bobcats were at No. 16 and the Heat had two picks at No. 18 and No. 24.

Lehi's face was a little bad, he previously analyzed that with his performance in the NCAA, it was more reasonable to be selected in the second half of the first round, or because he only played in the United States for two years, otherwise he felt that he could enter the lottery area, because he was no worse than Roel Deng, who was the 7th pick.

Falling to the second round is a bit unpleasant, but what he is most worried about now is losing the draft, and the injury that did not participate in the draft joint training camp has affected him, and there may be many teams who are worried that he will not be able to adapt to the NBA.

Isaiah Thomas has been like a dog for a long time, being a general manager is more tiring than playing, and now there are all kinds of things going wrong in the team, the players have bad chemistry, and there are all kinds of injuries to the point that no one plays.

The injury is not a small role, it is a large amount of dollars, and the "King of Investment" Alan Houston and the "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway add up to more than 33 million.

The quasi-tens of millions of Shanton Anderson is still having trouble with him, the team now has no suitable scoring guard, no suitable small forward, all kinds of shortages, and there is only one draft pick, which is still in the second round.

There's no way, he's going to be scolded to death if he does too much of the deal.

The No. 14 pick in the second round, I don't have any idea about this signing Isaiah Thomas, and the New York Knicks now want instant combat power and develop newcomers, or the second-round newcomers are not interested at all.

But by this time, there were really two of the guards on his desk who were not selected, both of them were small forwards, Trevor Ariza and this year's NCAA Final Four MOP Lehi.

After thinking about it for three seconds, Isaiah Thomas chose Lehi, a college student in New York, or Anthony's younger brother.

"The New York Knicks selected Lehi from Syracuse University with a 14-pick pick in the second round."

A voice came from the TV, and Lehi's hanging heart finally returned to its normal position, and it was good to have a team to choose from.

Xia Weiliang was very happy, "Great, if you go to the Knicks, you can continue to stay in New York." ”

Bruce Baker also called immediately, "Lee, it's perfect, New York is a big city, the best place, in fact, there is nothing bad about the second round of the show, maybe you can get the middle class directly......"

"That's enough, put away your nonsense, let's be realistic, the next thing is to sign with the team, I'm responsible for my part, you have to do your part, the second-round show may not be able to sign with the team." Lehi interrupted the other party angrily.

In early July, Lehi played for the New York Knicks in Summer League.

At this time, Isiah Thomas, who felt that the Knicks were seriously short of people, got the "abusive king" Jamal Crawford that the Bulls were going to send away with 37 million in six years.

Then I contacted a few fringe people and undrafted players to play in Summer League, and was ready to pick a few more substitutes at random.

On July 10, the New York Knicks played the Clippers in the Summer League.

The starting guards were two NBA fringe men, Jermaine Jackson and Jamison Brewer, with Lehi starting small forward, undrafted picks Jackie Butler power forward, and wandering big tall Bralo Sandev center.

And the Clippers are the No. 4 pick this year, led by Sean Livingston of the All-American First Team, with a rookie-dominated lineup.

The Knicks won the jump ball, and Lehi ran aggressively, throwing off the defenders and reaching for the ball.

However, the ball did not pass, and Jermaine Jackson chose to go it alone, only to be taken directly by Sean Livingston.

When defending, they didn't respond to each other, and they were made by the Clippers for a layup.

Lehi found that there was chaos on their side, the Clippers were all rookies, and it was better to have a high school star guard like Shaun Livingston to control the situation, and he quickly took the initiative.

'We need to play together or we'll lose.' Lehi took advantage of the retreat to greet the team's two defenders.

"Cooperation, we have only been together for a few days, don't tell me that cooperation is to pass the ball to you, this is the summer league, without good data the team will not sign us, I don't care what the victory or defeat is."

"Yellow boy, no matter how good you are in the NCAA, this is the NBA, it's different, you're just a second-round pick."

Bralo Sandev heard their conversation and comforted Li Haidao: "Everyone is just trying to make a living, try to show their own characteristics, and the coach will sign if he feels that he will help the team, otherwise he will have to look for a job elsewhere." ”

Li Hai frowned, if he were a high-ranking show coach, it is estimated that he would arrange special tactics for him, and now he can only rely on his own fight, but he really doesn't like this kind of game that doesn't care about the outcome of the game.

He slapped his cheeks with both hands, drove all thoughts out of his mind, and concentrated on playing.

He keeps running, he doesn't care if his teammates pass the ball or not, he defends desperately, and reminds his teammates to pay attention, and others ignore him and don't care.

The players against him worked very hard and basically didn't play at all.

In the second quarter, Lehi made a second steal and completed a dunk.

Knicks assistant coach and summer league coach Herb Williams' eyes lit up, and this second-round pick made him feel good.

The Knicks lost this summer league, but Lehi's stats were very comprehensive, with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

The second game of the summer league was against the Lakers, and Herb Williams gave Lehi more power.

The Lakers' Sasha Vujacic was on the hot side, and Luke Wharton was playing in the summer league for the second time and put the team together well, but after Lehi limited the average physical Walton with his individual ability, the Knicks began to slowly gain the upper hand.

Li Hai, who had the ball, got 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the team win the game with an 8-point advantage.

His performance was praised by the assistant coach, but when it came to signings, it wasn't all that smooth.

Bruce Baker's business level is far less neat than his mouth, and what the Knicks say is also because the player's salary is overspent too much and he is unwilling to spend more.

Originally, the team only planned to give him a base salary, but he did well in the summer league, and only added tens of thousands of dollars, a one-year guaranteed contract, $450,000.
