Chapter 52: Lakers Tryout

On May 21, 2008, in the early morning, before the first rays of sunlight shone through Jennifer's window, the bedside alarm went off.

Xiao Sa turned over on the soft bed, Jennifer also happened to open her eyes, she looked at Shyness with a smile on her face, it was really nice to be able to wake up in her dear arms. She rubbed it up, and then gave Xiao Sa a sweet kiss.

Xiao Shao also knew a little bit of American etiquette at this time, and he also lowered his head and kissed Jennifer on the forehead.

"Honey, I need to get to the airport right now." Jennifer reluctantly said: "I will be in Venice for at least three days, and if I win the Best Newcomer award, I will probably stay for another week. ”

"Have a good trip, I'm sure you'll be able to get that trophy." Xiao said gently.

"Thank you, dear, and I wish you a successful tryout today." Jennifer leaned down again and gave Xiao a sweet kiss.

"Hmm." Xiao nodded vigorously, he was full of confidence in himself. After this period of training, he believes that his level has reached a good level, and he decided to announce his participation in the draft today. At the same time, he will also go to the Los Angeles Lakers for a tryout. It was an opportunity that Ranny Kuhn had worked so hard to get for himself, and he felt he had no reason to give up.

"I believe that our fortunes will be reversed from today, I will no longer be a small actor, and you will become a big star in no time!" Jennifer said with great seriousness and conviction.

"Hmm!" Xiao Sao nodded vigorously, and his eyes were full of confidence.

They were all looking forward to the Phoenix Nirvana soaring into the sky, and now, fate finally ushered in a turnaround at the same time.

Soon, the two of them got up from the warm bed, and then each got dressed, and they were very energetic.

After a simple breakfast, go out separately. Jennifer drove to the airport and stomped on his Giant to the UCLA arena.

Came to the arena and practiced for a while, and Byron Davis came over.

As soon as he came over, he asked Xiao Shi, "Xiao, are you going to go to the Lakers for a tryout?" ”

"yes, that's the opportunity that Lanny managed to get for me. I don't think there's a reason for me to give up. Xiao replied with certainty: "Although the Lakers have Kobe Bryant, however, everything has to be fought for." Dreams are always necessary, in case they come true. ”

Byron Davis smiled lightly when he heard this, he knew that it was inconvenient to splash cold water at this time, so he didn't say anything about Jeanie Buss that day. He thought to himself, Shaw must not know that the Lakers' executive director hates him very much.

"Come on, don't be discouraged even if you don't get noticed. You're now in the first round, and although you have very little tournament experience, your potential says a lot. I'm also working for you, and I'm sure it won't take long to get a clear answer. Byron Davis said with a smile, he was mentally presupposing for Dash, who was worried that Dash would lose confidence because of the blow that might be coming.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to be a fragile little boy." Xiao Xiao laughed, he was very optimistic, so he never mentioned his past to Byron Davis. Although Xiao Shao is not very old, his mentality is not at all immature than Davis, and even more mature than him. And Xiao is a semi-professional psychologist, how could he be knocked down by a rejection?

"It's like a draft draw today, and we'll know who will get the top pick in the afternoon. But it doesn't matter much to you. Then you're going to need to go to the bootcamp, and if you can get an invitation to tryout, be sure to go. I'm sure with Mr. Wooden's connections, you won't have any problems. And you also have the help of a scout like Lenny Kuhn, who will definitely help you get through the connections in the media circle, and when the time comes, find two authoritative websites to do interviews, plus you are Chinese, the market will definitely rise. At this time, if I help again, the first round will definitely not be a problem. It may even be a lotto. Byron Davis carefully analyzed Xiao Sheng.

Davis's analysis was very clear, and Xiao Xiao quickly understood. He was a little excited, and after Mr. Wooden's training, he also knew what the contract for the lotto show was. Once he becomes a lotto show, he is developed, converted into RMB, at least a multimillionaire!!

"That's right, Shaw. What do you think of the Los Angeles Clippers? Byron Davis suddenly asked again.

"Byron, actually, you know, I don't really have an idea of what team to play. As long as I can be drafted, paid on time, and given me a chance to play, I'm satisfied. My attitude towards all teams is OPEN. ”

"Well, that's good, that's good." Byron Davis nodded, seeming relieved. Then he continued: "Today's Lakers tryout, I think you should focus on showing your defense, your static shooting, and your ability to dribble. These three things are your tricks. However, if there is any intra-team competition, my advice is to refuse to participate. After all, you have almost zero full-court dueling experience, and you can't pass the ball. Although you have a certain level of heads-up, the official game is not heads-up, you have passed one opponent, there are four opponents waiting for you, and they don't line up to fight you, they are often in the bag. ”

"Good!" Xiao Sao nodded and agreed, this is indeed a good way to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Next, Xiao Shao practiced the ball for a while.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ranny Kuhn drove out of the stadium. Then he got into the car with Xiao Sao and galloped towards the Lakers training hall.

This is an opportunity that he has worked so hard to get through a lot of relationships, and before Kupchak completely refused, and then he couldn't stand his stalking, and finally reluctantly agreed.

Ranny Kuhn struggled to do this. He didn't know that Xiao Sa had actually received the promise of the Thunder team, and the Thunder team also took the initiative to invite Xiao Sa to try out. It's just that during this time, Xiao Xiao is training frantically to improve his skills, and he has to be like glue with Jennifer who is in love, so he has no time at all. So, it never passed.

Moreover, there is another reason why Xiao Xiao did not rush over, that is, his agent has not yet arrived. When asked about Jennifer, Jennifer replied that Barbara was still traveling in Europe.

Xiao Sao could only mutter that it was unreliable, and at the same time sighed that it was cheap and not good.

Ranny Kuhn held the steering wheel with both hands, but his body trembled a little, he was nervous, he was more nervous than chic.

"Xiao, do you have the confidence to impress the strict Lakers assistant team? And their general manager, Kupcheko. Ranny Kuhn said with a shudder, he was already nervous.

"I don't know." Xiao Shao shook his head, he wasn't quite sure. He only knows that his advantages are obvious now, and his shortcomings seem to be a bit fatal, depending on what the Lakers think.

"You've got to impress them, it's your best chance. If you can get into the Lakers, your dream will come true. Although you once said that you want to defeat Kobe Bryant, it must be infinitely bright to be able to get Kobe's guidance. Ranny Kuhn said incoherently.

"Hehe, Lenny. You're so nervous that you need to take a deep breath and then take it easy. Xiao Shi smiled lightly.

"I... I... Can I not be nervous? I've mortgaged my reputation, and if you don't look good, I'll lose all my face. Lenny Kuhn said nervously.

"Don't worry, your face will be saved. And I'm sure I'll make a name for myself in the future, because you're the first basketball scout to dig me out! ”
