On the night of the trial for the Rockets, Yu Fei received a call from his agent at the hotel.

Arne Trem congratulated Yu Fei: "Everyone who has seen your performance is impressed by you, that is..."

Yu Fei smiled and asked, "Is it because my interview performance is not good?" ”

"No, Houston thinks you've been blunt, and it's been good and bad, but you've certainly earned their approval." "They promised me that if you dropped to the 13th pick in the draft, they would draft you," Trem said. ”

If they're really tempted, they should consider trading up to improve their draft pick.

Yu Fei quickly put down the Rockets' draft promise.

"How's it going in New Jersey?" Yu Fei asked.

"Not ideal for you." "It's not ideal for any rookie to play on the same team as Stephen Marbury," Trem said. ”

Marbury may be the most familiar player in the 96 golden generation in addition to Kobe, because he came to play in the CBA at the end of his career.

Unlike Steve Francis, Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, Carlos Boozer, Ron Artest, Josh Smith, Al Jefferson, and Amare Stoudemire, who came to the CBA with no fuel and no way out, Marbury is more like a man who still has some energy but is lost in the NBA, the CBA has allowed him to regain the joy of playing, and BJ's career has proved his worth as a basketball player.

During the years when Marbury was in the CBA, Yu Fei was still young, he only knew that this person was a legend of the CBA, and the most impressive thing was his lackluster coaching career in the Beijing Control team (not over).

"I don't think New Jersey is worse than Houston."

Yu Fei's good impression of the Nets was also brought by his previous life, and the future is Boss Cai's team. Yu Fei likes the Nets, supports Boss Cai and his bloodline, and has nothing to do with the cultural identity of the Chinese, just because this person is really supporting the national basketball team with real money.

The annual Cai Foundation Training Camp selects a group of potential teenagers to go to the United States for further study, and although Yu Fei is not a beneficiary, he has only respect for this behavior.

Although Trem wanted to know what Yu Fei's definition of bad was, he wanted to know more, "Which do you hate more about Houston and Washington?" ”

"Houston."

If you go to Washington, you can use "fighting for the draft vision of the first big fly", and what can you get by going to Houston?

Used by the boss as a tool to lure Asian fans to watch the game?

There is no point in playing hard, and the past, present, and future owners of the Rockets are all focused on a keystroke.

Don't think they're paying luxury tax for the title.

It's rare to have a superstar like Olajuwon, who doesn't need a luxury tax and can take advantage of Jordan's baseball vacation to give the team two championships, and can't get the blessings of the old team, so why play in this kind of team?

Before the call ended, Trem gave Yu Fei one last piece of advice.

"If there are no players of the same level who are on trial with you, you can refuse to participate in the match."

Trym's suggestion, ostensibly to avoid injury, was actually afraid of flying to someone else's wingman.

Yu Fei, as a nobody, stepped on the heads of the top 100 high school students in the United States to become famous, and he knew this feeling best.

But if he doesn't participate in the competition and only conducts physical and technical tests, his advantage will not be obvious.

Yu Fei thinks that he is a practical player and feels good in the game, but his performance is average during the technical test because his shooting is not stable enough.

The next day, Yu Fei was the first rookie to report to the Nets' training base.

Nets head coach Byron Scott warmly welcomed Yu Fei.

Yu Fei didn't have much impression of Scott, but he just thought he was very passionate and energetic, and he was an energetic coach.

There is one thing that Yu Fei appreciates about the Nets, that is, they don't do interviews.

According to Scott, they didn't even ask for Kenyon Martin's medical report when they drafted him last year, only allowing him to complete 20 dunks during tryouts.

If it is replaced by Yu Fei, he will choose to hand over the physical examination report, after all, 20 dunks are quite tiring.

Subsequently, Yu Fei first conducted a physical test, and with the physical test experience of the rocket team, this item went very smoothly, followed by a technical test.

The Nets are very serious about Yu Fei's technical tests, not only meticulous shooting tests, card position tests, but also shooting tests under slight interference, and the person responsible for interfering with the shot is Keith Van Horn, who has a face full of "I'd rather die at home than come here as a sparring partner".

Yu Fei didn't know what Scott's intention was to let Van Horn be a sparring partner, you must know that this person is a notoriously non-sticky defender.

A famous joke about Van Horne is that he always keeps a distance of more than a metre when opposing Kemp, because he doesn't want his fingers to get Kemp's sweat.

In the face of poor defenders, Yu Fei's originally unstable shooting actually stabilized, shooting 20 of 20 from close range, 17 of 20 from five angles from mid-range, and 16 of 20 from five points on the outside.

Byron Scott's heart raced to watch.

"Damn, he's awesome!" Scott said in surprise.

Assistant coach Lawrence Frank said: "Frye Yu is undoubtedly one of the most promising players in this draft. ”

Scott groaned and asked, "Do you think he's better than Eddie Griffin?" ”

"It's a very close comparison." Lawrence made his choice, "I'll go with Fry. ”

Yu Fei's trial today was impressive, but Scott couldn't make up his mind because they didn't need a flanker.

Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, Aaron Williams... The Nets' wings are both qualitative and quantitative, and what they lack is the brains that Marbury threw in Minneto.

Only commander-type players can pull the Nets wagon.

The reason why Scott actively invited Yu Fei was because he had heard that Yu Feiqiu's style resembled Pippen, but he was taller than Pippen.

After watching his technical test, Scott is looking forward to Fei's performance in the match.

However, Yu Fei felt that he performed well in today's technical test, but there was no potential lottery show among the people who came to the Nets for a tryout today, and even if he played well, he would not improve his evaluation, so he decided to act on Tryme's advice and refused the matchup on the grounds that his legs and feet were uncomfortable.

Despite not being able to see Yu Fei's performance in the 5-on-5 match, Scott was still interested in him, and after the trial, invited Yu Fei to a nearby French restaurant for dinner.

During the meal, Scott casually asked, "Fry, if I invited you to a private tryout, would you participate?" ”

"I don't know," Yu Fei said with a smile, "because my schedule is set by my agent." ”

Scott looked like he was willing to fly: "I'll call him." ”

After Yu Fei returned to the hotel, he called Trem and told him in detail about what was going on at the table.

"Don't take Byron's words too seriously, he's notoriously hot for three minutes." "The important thing is that you did well in today's technical test, and the news has gotten out that Cleveland has just officially sent you a tryout. ”

"Crooked?"

Yu Fei almost blurted out.

"Any questions?"

"No, I just think it's a little sudden..."Yu Fei asked, "What's the current situation in Cleveland?" ”

Trem introduced the situation of the Cavaliers to Yu Fei, to put it simply, they are a team that can't go up or down, and it seems that they can enter the playoffs if they fight hard, but they can't go too far, and they can't make up their minds to mess up, unless there is a reason not to refuse.

Yu Fei never thought that he would play in the Cavaliers, but if it really happened, he could only accept it.

Maybe there's a kind of buff in the NBA where "the chosen one must start his career in Cleveland."

"Rest well tomorrow and the tryout in Boston the day after tomorrow will be the main event."

Yu Fei was immersed in YY, which he might be selected by the Cavaliers, when Trem suddenly came to this sentence.

"Huh?"

"By the way, your good friend Brandon Roy will also go to Boston for a tryout the day after tomorrow."

"Huh??"

"You've got to be focused because Eddie Griffin is going to try out in Boston when the time comes."

"Ah???h
