Chapter 8 The First Trial Team
"The first trial team has been determined" The next day, Li Hao and Holtz completed the signing of the agent contract, and then Holtz told Li Hao about the trial.
According to the rules of the alliance, brokers can only take a maximum of four percent.
"So fast?" What I said yesterday, there is accurate news today, and Holtz's network is indeed doing very well.
"Haha, I'm amazing" Seeing Li Hao's surprised performance, Holtz showed a childlike expression.
"That team" Li Hao is more concerned about that team at the moment.
"It's in Los Angeles," Mr. Holtz said.
"Lakers?" The Clippers not only have Chris Cannon, the league's No. 1 point guard today, but also Darren Collison on the bench, on the contrary, the Lakers Nash is old and injured, and even Nash has announced that he will retire when his contract with the Lakers expires.
At present, the only real point guards in the Lakers team are Jordan Falma, Kendall Marshall, and according to historical development, Farma will leave the Lakers this summer.
According to Holtz's idea, in Li Hao's situation, there is definitely no hope in the first round, but you can give it a try in the second round.
Almost all of this year's draft talent is focused on the swingman, with two of the top three favorites being swingman, and nearly 10 of the lottery players being swingman.
In terms of point guards, Payton Jr., who has the highest prediction pick this year, is named Elfried Payton Jr., who attended the University of Louisiana Lafayette and was the best defensive player in the NCAA 13-14 season, averaging 19.2 points, 6 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
This is the only playmaker in the draft who has been predicted to be in the lottery, next to Syracuse University's Tyler Ennis and UConncut Shabazz Napier.
Smart: "? ”
In fact, the above people have all gone to the Lakers for trials, in addition to the predicted round of the show, the second round of shows also went to the Lakers for trials, and it was in this situation that Li Hao came to the Lakers' training hall, Toyota Sports Center.
The training hall is divided into three floors, one underground and two above ground, and the training hall has a complete set of supporting facilities, restaurants, drink bars, and fan shops.
However, this training gym is not exclusive to the Lakers, the Lakers just occupy one of the places and share it with others.

"How? Ready to show the Lakers what you're capable of? The day after the contract was finalized, Holtz appeared in front of Li Hao again, and this time she came to take Li Hao to the Lakers' training gym.
"Of course," Li Hao's tone and expression were full of confidence.
Although Holtz and Li Hao have not been together for a long time, Holtz sometimes really doesn't understand Li Hao's self-confidence, but this does not prevent Holtz from gambling on Li Hao.
In fact, it is a truth that the agent and the team scratch the lottery, if one of its players plays, then the agent can become famous with this name, and then the operation will become much simpler.
"But Lee, one thing you have to know is that the head coach of the Lakers last season officially resigned two days ago" The head coach of the Lakers last season was D'Antoni, and anyone who knows the NBA is familiar with this head coach.
Nash is the superstar who achieved two MVPs under D'Antoni, and Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American, also made Lin's crazy name during his coaching years.
This is a manager who is very good at adjusting and using defenders, although his coaching ability has been criticized by many people, but his ability to adjust defenders has to be admired.
"It's a bit of a pity," Li Hao thinks that if D'Antoni is still with the Lakers, then his chances of being selected should be much better.
Well, I think too much about this, and I am already thinking about who to play under my account before the trial starts, and the Lakers may not be able to see it.

"Welcome to Toyota Sports Center, I'm Team Coach Klay Mosser" Klay Moser is both a Lakers coach and a Lakers scout.
"Hello, I'm Li Hao" Li Hao held the greeting officer
"Lee, I was on the scene for the two games you played," Moser said to Li Hao.
In addition to the fans in the stands of the March Madness game, there are scouts, and as a team in Los Angeles, it is normal to go to the UCLA game.
"Thank you," Li Hao said.
"Don't be nervous, we'll arrange everything, you just have to show what you're capable of" After the UCLA Bruins were eliminated, Moser also recommended Li Hao to Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak.
However, the general manager of the Lakers was not interested in Li Hao, first, Li Hao played too few games, and although the two 18-minute performances were very exciting, they were not convincing.
In addition, the Lakers had planted a heel in Chinese players, and in the 07 draft, the Lakers selected Sun Yue with the 40th pick in the second round, and then Sun Yue became the guardian of the water cooler for one season, although he mixed a championship ring, but he was cut in the second season.
And now Li Hao is worse than Sun Yue, at least Sun Yue performs very well in ABA, but what about Li Hao? Just played 18 minutes in the NCAA.
The Lakers did not invite Li Hao to try out, and in the eyes of the Lakers general manager, trying out Li Hao is a waste of time, so it is indeed the credit of Holtz to be able to come to the Lakers this time.
………………………………………….
Because head coach D'Antoni has resigned and a new head coach has not yet been confirmed, the Lakers' tryout is led by assistant coach Mark Madsen.
And when Li Hao followed Mosel into the training hall, there were several players on the training ground who were trying out, and in addition, Li Hao also saw an unexpected person.
Lakers star of the house, Kobe Bryant.
The all-powerful league façade of the past is being destroyed by injuries, and since the 12-13 season when he tore his Achilles tendon, Kobe Bryant is no longer the Kobe who can play seventy or eighty games a season.
In the season that just ended, Kobe Bryant played only 6 games, and the Lakers finished the season second to last in the West and sixth from the bottom in the league, with only 27 wins.
In addition to injuries, Kobe Bryant is no longer young, the 78-year-old Kobe Bryant is about to be 36 years old, and as Kobe Bryant ages, the Lakers must recognize the reality that they are going to enter a rebuilding period.
However, a team like the Lakers, even if they rebuild, will only sign superstars in the league, which was later confirmed, thick eyebrows, James arrived like this.
So the Lakers don't seem like a good choice for rookies, but that's later, and for now, the Lakers are a good place for rookies because Kobe is still there, and Kobe is old.
