Chapter 127 The most shining existence in the joint trial training
The domestic media was ready to go, rushed to New York one after another, and kept contacting Rich Paul through various channels, hoping to interview Zuo Li, and the domestic media also began to rush to report Zuo Li's situation.
In just one month, Zuo Li has already begun to become famous in China. At least most fans who watch the NBA know that another Asian big man will participate in this year's draft.
In fact, Zuo Li had already expected this day. Don’t you see that Jeremy Lin attracted a large number of fans in China by virtue of his Asian identity, which also created the conditions for himself to become a famous CBA player in the future, and Zuo Li is currently famous in the United States. Obviously much bigger than Jeremy Lin, it will be a matter of time before he enters the eyes of domestic fans.
Moreover, Zuo Li also has a long-term plan for the country, not to mention the far, but the near. Just last month, he negotiated an investment with Alima, who was looking for investment in San Francisco, with 2500 million US dollars. Injecting capital into Ali, Zuo Li also successfully became one of Ali's shareholders.
Before leaving, Alima was very excited. It was much better to get investment from Zuo Li, an Asian who can speak Chinese, than being invested by other people. Zuo Li was naturally very happy. This step was the most important step for him besides investing in Apple. invest.
It seems that this step will not bring much benefit to Zuo Li now, but in the foreseeable future, it will benefit Zuo Li a lot.
In addition to the expected tenfold increase in money, Ali will become the best channel for Zuo Li's products including sneakers to enter the country, which will greatly expand Zuo Li's business territory, and Zuo Li will have a jump in the vertical Needless to say, the influence of the commercial channel in the Pacific Ocean.
As for other aspects, Zuo Li can't control so much at the moment. After all, he is a player and not specialized in business. It is already very good to negotiate an investment. A senior who has a list of companies that must rise in the future and then pockets it in a few words.
Ok?
Speaking of rising prices, what is Tesla doing now?
Cough, let Rich Paul check it out another day.
These investments are naturally important, but on May 5th, Zuo Li has more important things to do.
Five days later, a province in Southwest China received a check for US$5 million from the donor, Zuo Li.
After finishing this task, Zuo Li only felt refreshed, and his training became more energetic, and his good condition also attracted Ewing's praise again and again:
"This joint trial training, you will surprise all of them."
Yes, nearly a month of training with Ewing will come to an end in a week, because Zuo Li will finally come out again.
In another ten days, the joint trial training, the most important activity before the NBA draft, will start in New York, from June 6th to 19th, for a period of 24 days.
This joint trial training is led and organized by NBA officials. The test content includes static test --- static data of height and weight, dynamic test --- dynamic data such as bench press and bounce, shooting test and various confrontational and non-confrontational tests.
Every year, all kinds of potential rookies will be tested like participating in a job fair. Generally, the results of the joint trial training will become the most direct reason for the final selection.
Zuo Li rejected most of the team's trial training invitations this time, but he will definitely participate in the joint trial training. This is not only a stage to show himself, but also the best channel to understand his peers.
"This time is the beginning of my career in the NBA!"
The battle in the NBA often starts with the draft, and the joint trial training is a barometer of the draft. Many people say that some people will deliberately hide their strength in the joint trial training.
Zuo Li can only use "hehe" to describe it. A rookie is reluctant to show his strength on such an occasion. What is it for? To lose the draft pick?
No, no, no, no one really believes it.
Zuo Li doesn't believe it. The draft is a magical stage. Before your name is actually called, don't believe a single punctuation mark.
Otherwise, I have to tell you the story of how Anthony was coaxed by the Pistons for several months and ended up in Denver.
...
On June 6th, the NBA finals had just come to an end the day before. The Los Angeles Lakers returned home in Boston, 19-4. The Celtics won the O’Brien Cup again after many years. a sum.
While the smoke of the finals has not cleared, in New York, this year's draft joint trial training also quietly kicked off.
This time, all 30 teams in the league are here. This year is recognized by the world as a big draft year, and no team will give up such a chance for gold rush.
Of course, the gold rush is for the teams with the lower picks. For the teams with the lottery picks or even the top 5 picks, the most important thing for them is to examine the current top-ranked rookies.
Oh, and by the way, the order of this year's draft picks is as follows:
The No. [-] pick, the Chicago Bulls, the No. [-] pick, the Miami Heat, and the No. [-] pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The fourth pick, the Seattle Supersonics, later changed to the Thunder, the fifth pick, the Memphis Grizzlies, and the sixth pick, the New York Knicks.
After 7-14 are the Clippers, Bucks, Bobcats, Nets, Pacers, Kings, Trail Blazers and Warriors.
That's the full order of this year's lottery picks.
For Zuo Li, he only needs to pay attention to the first three, or even the first two are enough, because no matter which media, it will not predict that Zuo Li will fall to the third pick. If the No. [-] pick is not the Bulls, they will not even I think Zuo Li will drop to second place.
Rose is the only one who can wrestle with Zuo Li. The main reason is that he is from Chicago. He promised to play for his hometown team in high school in the future. Before Zuo Li was born, the Bulls really liked Rose.
And judging from the composition of the Bulls' lineup, they have Noah, a center who was just selected last year, but they are very short on the back line.
That's what led to this result.
So this joint trial training, the general manager of the Bulls personally led the team, not only that, they even invited Jerry Krause.
Those who are familiar with the Bulls naturally know what kind of character this is. It was he who single-handedly created the Bulls' super dynasty with 8 championships in 6 years when he was in office. It can be said that he is the number one hero behind the Bulls dynasty.
Even he was hired, enough to show how much they valued this draft.
They just hope to see how to choose through this joint trial training.
In the training camp, many players have gathered early in the morning. In addition to those guys who came to the training camp to seek opportunities, the famous ones include Westbrook, Love, Beasley and Mayo. They all want to show their faces early prestige.
Naturally, the media mobilized collectively, and hundreds of media reporters surrounded the entire court.
"Mr. Jerry Krauss, this time it all depends on your insight." The current general manager, John Paxson, said from the side.
"Well, don't worry." Klaus nodded, and kept staring at the players on the field. His choices were not limited. In addition to Beasley, Mayo and other big-name rookies, Westbrook and Love were also in his backup. Choose inside.
But at this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and all the media moved on hearing the news, and began to gather at the door one after another.
"What's the situation?" Klaus was a little confused, is this some big-name star coming?
Turning around, a tall figure with yellow skin appeared at the door.
And those media are obviously running after him!
That's right, the figure was Zuo Li, and if he didn't make an appearance, his appearance would be astonishing. Zuo Li became the most shining presence in the joint trial training just by showing his appearance.
