Chapter 112
After the trip to Denver, Bill Duffy and Chen Mo rushed to Los Angeles non-stop.
That's right, this time it was a trial training invited by the Clippers.
However, compared to the enthusiasm of the Nuggets, the Clippers seem to be much colder.
Because when Chen Mo came to try out, he didn't see Baylor. That's right, it was Elgin Baylor, the best small forward in Lakers history.
No, the best small forward, where do you put the emperor?
Elgin Baylor, who is now the manager of the Clippers, relied on him and the logo man West to once again create the Lakers dynasty and the Los Angeles home team.
That's right, you read that right, Elgin Baylor helped the Lakers, not the Clippers.
Lord Belle didn't come, that only shows one problem, that is, he doesn't like Chen Mo, or he doesn't like it.
The reason why Chen Mo came here for trial training was mainly to get acquainted, which is what should be done.
"Chen, I am very glad to meet you. To be honest, I also found coach Steve not long ago and got to know you in detail with him.
Really, I really like your style of play, fast break is always the easiest way to score points. "
……
On the contrary, Gentry is very optimistic about Chen Mo, or in other words, he likes UCLA's style of play very much.
It's normal, after all, the most glorious moment of Gentry's coaching career was in the post-running and bombing era of the Suns and Nash.
"Thank you, Mr. Coach."
Chen Mo chatted with Gentry very easily, and then started the trial training. After all, he couldn't make the decision.
It is still the same old way, conduct a physical test on Chen Mo, and then investigate his technical characteristics.
Gentry has watched UCLA games on the spot many times. After all, he is in Los Angeles, not far away.
Moreover, the record of the Clippers gives them a good chance to get a good draft pick, and it seems that they have a good chance to win Chen Mo.
However, as UCLA won the NCAA championship and Chen Mo won the MOP in the Final Four, everything seemed to be drifting away.
During shooting drills, especially when shooting with the ball, Gentry suddenly found something.
He found that Chen Mo's combination of man and ball was stronger, and his shooting stability seemed to have improved.
Not only that, he also did a very good job in the strength confrontation, especially in the confrontation.
You know, the NCAA finals are less than a month and a half away, and Gentry watched that game.
"Chen, have you been training recently?"
"That's right, in fact, shortly after the NCAA competition ended, Chen started training."
This was said by Bill Duffy. He felt that it was necessary to publicize it. After all, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.
Gentry was once again attracted by Chen Mo, a talented player who is willing to work hard.
At the end of the trial, Bill Duffy and Chen Mo left, but they did not leave Los Angeles. The Raptors still had a few days left for their trial.
Chen Mo returned to training. As for Gentry, he had already found Lord Baylor.
"Elgin, I think Chen is our hope of rising, you know? After the NCAA finals, he immediately put into training again, spending his own money and finding a trainer by himself."
Hearing this, Lord Belle was really a little surprised, after all, young people always can't control themselves.
As for Chen Mo, he not only re-entered the boring training, but also found a professional training match. It can be seen that this is a very smart player.
"And then? We are only the No. 6 pick, so we may not be able to select him."
Elgin Baylor is not too cold about this choice. After all, they already have Maggette and Richardson in their team, and there is no place on the wing.
Relatively speaking, he felt that the team needed a center. Yes, Brand was too short to support the inside.
"Maybe, we can trade the pick up?"
Elgin Baylor immediately vetoed the stupid decision and didn't even want to talk to Gentry.
Trade the draft pick upwards, wouldn't that tell others that I have meat here, come over and give me a knife.
Especially this year, the year of the draft, with such a high draft pick, this knife will definitely kill people.
Three days later, Chen Mo and Bill Duffy participated in the trial training of the Toronto Raptors.
This time, it was a multi-person trial training, not a joint trial training, except for the measurement of physical data, and then played two games.
It's just that this game was really uncomfortable, and everyone just took the ball and went it alone.
At the beginning, Chen Mo wanted to organize an attack, but later he came by himself.
Anthony and Wade did not show up, and it is not known whether they had tried out or Toronto did not invite them.
However, there are quite a few acquaintances, Bosh, Kaman, Collison, and even Milicic, there are more big men.
It was the first time for Chen Mo to meet Milicic, and since he was also a foreigner participating in the NBA, the two cooperated a few times.
Milicic was destroyed by the Pistons and Larry Brown. Of course, he himself is not without reason.
If Chen Mo reminded him, it might change his career.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't do this, as he was the most taboo of shallow words, it was inappropriate to do so.
What's more, because of Chen Mo's appearance, maybe Milicic will not be selected by the Pistons at all?
"Chen, take it easy, Toronto probably won't choose you."
Hearing what Bill Duffy said, Chen Mo was a little surprised. After all, he felt that he performed well.
"Why? I think I played well."
In the trial training just now, Chen Mo was definitely the most eye-catching one, whether it was offense or defense.
"You did really well, but Toronto's mind wasn't on you.
Carter's contract is about to expire, Toronto hopes to keep him, but the team's record is really ugly, they need a more reasonable lineup.
I heard that Toronto is already in contact with the Bulls and intends to introduce Jaylen Rose, so they need a big man even more. "
Sure enough, big men are still popular these days, and the Clippers want big men more, as do the Raptors.
No way, in the NBA, there are really fewer and fewer outstanding big men, but inside players are still very important.
"The Nuggets and Heat will be the key targets. By the way, maybe we should also consider the Bulls and Bucks."
Don't look at the bullshit draft quotes, in fact, this thing is useless at all.
After all, the lottery has not been drawn, and different teams need different players.
Unless it is Duncan, or O'Neal, a draft with no suspense at all, players who can be used as core players in the first year.
Otherwise, there will be more teams, and they will make reasonable selections according to the needs of the team.
Ever since he won the NCAA championship and won the MOP, Chen Mo's draft market has never fallen below the top three, and his guarantee is also in the top five.
What I didn't expect was that after only a few trials, I couldn't keep the top five?
I'm quite upset, after all, the Bulls and Bucks are only the seventh and eighth picks!
However, what Chen Mo didn't know was that what made people even more uncomfortable was still to come!
