(Ask for a commuter pass)

Haslem is very depressed, as a fresh graduate of the University of Florida, and now he has fallen to the point where no one cares, although the University of Florida is not like the current Wake Forest University or Duke North Carolina like the top NCAA giants, but it is definitely a first-class team, as the center of this team for four consecutive years, Haslem is still quite confident in himself, although he has no way to receive invitations to the rookie training camp of various NBA teams like his former teammate McMiller, But at least you can become a sparring partner and enter the training camp, but what makes this self-confident and powerful interior extremely depressed is that no team is willing to give him a chance to tryout, he has been to Minnesota, to the Knicks, and to the Wizards, but these teams all rejected his hospitality as soon as they saw his height, and as a center with a height of only 2.03 meters, it really limited his growth, It's just that in the center's opinion, his height will definitely not be an obstacle to becoming an NBA player, and isn't Ben Wallace, the center of the Grizzlies, about the same height as himself?

In the mind of the University of Florida graduate, he has no problem in any aspect, but that is not the case in those NBA team leaders, so this has also led to the center still wandering around, coming to Boston whenever forced to do so, because only the Boston Celtics' training camp has the lowest threshold, and anyone can get in, which is a bit disdainful in the eyes of Haslem in the past. The training camp that anyone can go into is not worthy of him at all, so in the past, he did not consider taking the opportunity with the players who were close to 100 players in the Celtics training camp. It was a very bad thing, but at this time, the desperate Haslem still came to this place.

It's just that after coming here, it was once again extremely tragic for this center forward. The door of the Celtics training camp was closed, and because there were too many rookies inside, the Boston Celtics head coach ordered the team to no longer recruit rookie players, which made Haslem who came all the way from New York speechless, and he did not receive this notice from Zhuang Fei when he set off from New York, at this time, the young center could only stand outside the Celtics training hall and didn't know what to do. In the end, the center was forced to have no choice but to prepare to break in, but fortunately, the security measures in the Celtic training hall were really not tight, and the young center was forced to break in, and the center was also sideways at this time. According to his agent, if he can't find a job in the NBA, then there are only three options, the first is to find an ordinary job and give up basketball, the second is to go to the ABA or CBA and stay in a minor league like the NBA and wait for the opportunity to enter the NBA, and the third way is to go abroad.

In Haslem's mind, his impression of Zhuang Fei comes more from the legends of his teammates and coaches in college. Because when he entered the NCAA, Wake Forest University head coach Zhuang Fei had just left, it can be said that the two did not intersect in the NCAA, but even so, in the heart of the center of the University of Florida, this has always been praised. The best mentor for young players' is definitely not the kind of person who ruins a young player's opportunity to pursue his dreams, so Haslem dared to break into the Celtic training camp at this time, as long as Zhuang Fei knew his situation, he believed that the legendary Chinese would give him a chance, although the appearance looks like five big and three rough and stupid, but Haslem's mind is very delicate and his mind is very clear. He was also blocked by the New York Knicks, and he didn't break through at that time. Because he knew that even if he broke in, it would be useless, and he might still be in the police station. …,

The young Florida man was gambling, he hoped that Zhuang Fei was the kind of coach in his heart and hoped that Zhuang Fei was the legendary head coach in the mouths of his coach and teammates, but even so, when he broke in and saw that almost everyone in the training hall focused their eyes on him, the center of the University of Florida was also uncomfortable, it can be said that he was extremely worried, and in these crowds, he quickly noticed the Chinese who was not too far from him, standing on the sidelines, At this time, the Chinese was also looking at himself, which also made Haslem extremely nervous in his heart, and at this time, the security guards behind Haslem were also struggling to drag this big man out of the door, but what made these security guards speechless was that although the big man was in a daze after entering the door, his steps were extremely solid, coupled with the strength of the center player, the two Celtic security guards behind him couldn't drag him.

Zhuang Fei, who saw this scene not far away, smiled, Zhuang Fei's laughter was not very loud, but because the scene was very quiet now, basically everyone in the training hall heard it very clearly, it can be said that these people were also very surprised at this time, for a coach like Zhuang Fei, if there is such a player to 'make trouble', although it is not enough to blast him out, but he should not show such an expression, this head coach seems to be very happy. And what made these people at the scene even more speechless was Zhuang Fei's next sentence.

"You're Haslem? You change into your training clothes now, and then go to the training ground, and welcome to the Boston Rookie Camp."

When Zhuang Fei finished saying this, he didn't pay attention to the person who was already in a daze at this time, and then shouted again.

"Okay, stop looking, keep training"

When Zhuang Fei turned his head and shouted at all the players on the training ground, the Celtics training hall returned to normal, and at this time, the Boston Celtics security guards standing at the door were a little embarrassed, and finally these embarrassed security guards could only let the intruder go, and then left the team training hall, and Haslem was also sluggish for a long time and then thought about why Zhuang Fei knew him, but in the end the young center still woke up, no matter why Zhuang Fei knew him. It doesn't matter anymore, the important thing now is to be able to get a chance to get into the NBA. Now that this opportunity has come, he needs to seize it himself. So after figuring this out, the Florida center quickly changed into a training uniform and joined the rookie training team, at which point the Celtics' trainers will once again add a burden to the player

"Coach, do you know him?"

Looking at Haslem, who was scurrying around like a headless fly on the team's training ground, Stephen Green, assistant coach of the Boston Celtics, also asked curiously, not only he was curious, but also the other players and scouts on the scene were curious. You must know that most of the dozens of players who came here have been training with Zhuang Fei for a long time, and so far there are not many players who can be named by Zhuang Fei. So when Zhuang Fei called out the name of the player who broke in, they were also very concerned, especially the scouts of other teams, there was no No. 1 person like Haslem in their scouting reports, but they were absolutely confident in Zhuang Fei's vision, which also made these scouts pay special attention to Haslem's performance on the training ground.

It's just that these scouts are extremely disappointed that the player who can be called by Zhuang Fei did not show that strength at all, maybe because he was excluded by other players, or because he was too excited, in short, this player performed extremely badly in today's training session, and basically did not show any of his own merits. On the contrary, everyone cares about his height, as a center who is only more than 2 meters long, which is also a miracle in the NBA. …,

Since the center forward did not show any outstanding strengths, the scouts soon gave up their interest in him, after all, there are still close to a hundred players on the scene, and now they don't have the time to spend too much effort on a player of this quality. At this time, Zhuang Fei looked at the young player who was excluded everywhere and then jumped up and down, but he kept smiling, and seemed to be very satisfied with this center. It's just that as Zhuang Fei's very close disciple and assistant, he doesn't have much impression.

"I don't know, I've never met him before" Zhuang Fei smiled and looked at his disciple and replied, which also made Green even more confused, and then Zhuang Fei then said with a smile: "I watched his game on TV, he is a center at the University of Florida, and he used to be teammates with McMiller" When Zhuang Fei finished saying this, Green had a sudden feeling of enlightenment, especially after hearing McMiller, when he was in the Timberwolves, McMiller, the small forward, was almost going to the Timberwolves. At the beginning, Zhuang Fei and he watched McMiller's game video, but at this time, Green also admired his coach's memory very much. He didn't remember any player like that at the University of Florida, let alone what his name was.

At the beginning, the Celtics head coach was also extremely dissatisfied with Haslem's performance, but slowly, the eyes of Zhuang Fei's assistant coach also showed a great surprise, and it was obvious that the Celtics assistant coach saw something different from others in his eyes.

Zhuang Fei on the side looked at his assistant and nodded with a smile, now Green is good enough in judging players, this player who jumps up and down like a headless fly is not a waste material. When he thought of this, Zhuang Fei seemed to be happy again, which was a big gain from holding the training camp this time

Boston Celtics training camp is very hard, for most players who have just left the NCAA, but most of these players from the NCAA know the style of the Celtics head coach more or less, it can be said that the reputation of the devil coach is also extremely famous in the United States, so the hard work of the training camp did not make these people much painful, tired is tired, but it doesn't matter, and the most painful thing for these players is definitely not the hard work of the training camp, It's performance in training camp.

At the end of the session, it was clear that there were all sorts of different expressions on the faces of these rookie players, some who were proud of their performance, some who were frustrated by their performance, and some who were extremely indifferent, basically at the end of each day, and even more so for Haslem on the first day.

Today's training is like shit in his own opinion, there is no way to integrate into the training camp here, even if he is excluded by others, he is also prepared for such a thing as being excluded, after all, it is not a pure campus now, here every player has to work hard for his own survival, in the training camp is the most cruel, no one will do this for the sake of others, basically everyone is for themselves. It can be said that Haslem was prepared for a long time.

It's just that even so, the center forward is also because he is too excited, coupled with the fact that he has recently had to run around and has not done systematic training, which has caused him to be in poor condition, and his physical condition is not in the best period due to the recent long journey, it would be hellish to be able to perform well at this time.

Therefore, the young center forward was also extremely depressed when he cleaned up his salute, and a good opportunity was about to be wasted by himself, and the thought that he might not be long before he might have to go abroad to live a mixed life This center forward is also aggrieved for a while. I am also constantly lamenting that my luck has been so bad recently.

And when the center forward, who lamented the injustice of fate, packed his luggage and prepared to leave, he encountered a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life, the Chinese who had always appeared in the legend actually slapped him in the back and said a sentence that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"Boy, work hard"

Zhuang Fei's words directly made the young center, who had just walked out of the training hall, stay there directly, watching the backs of Zhuang Fei and Green get farther and farther away from him.

For Zhuang Fei, this encouragement is just a common word. He said that to a lot of this year's rookies. But for Haslem, it was a turning point in his life.

"Coach, it looks like our goal for this year has been set"

Stephen Green also said with a smile to the head coach next to him, while Zhuang Fei nodded the same. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
