Chapter 2 Counterpoint Bledsoe
Li Shihao has already moved, from the Fang family couple who originally rented, he has performed well this season, Bill Duffy, as his agent, naturally has more confidence when signing the contract, and all the evil dollars are rolling away like running water Come on, it can be compared to a bank printing machine.
It can be said that Li Shihao's earning speed is rare among rookies. It can be compared to LeBron James' rookie season. A cash cow with a strong ability to attract money.
With the money, Li Shihao naturally bought a lakeside villa in Minnesota. This waterside residence is close to the shore of Prior Lake. It is a private villa of a French businessman.
It happened that Li Shihao was interested in buying a house, and through Bill Duffy's personal connections, the two sides took the lead to negotiate.
When Jeremy Lin arrived, Li Shihao was practicing on the basketball court in the yard.
The first time I came to Li Shihao's house, Jeremy Lin was obviously still very young. Although I was very curious about this country-style lakeside villa, I still greeted him very politely: "Hi Brother Hao, I am Jeremy Lin, and I am The person you were on the phone with earlier."
Although Jeremy Lin is also of Chinese descent, he is a Chinese-American. He grew up in the United States. His Chinese pronunciation is really choking. Li Shihao sounds awkward, but fortunately he has been in the United States for seven years. I am also used to the Chinese "illiteracy" among overseas Chinese.
"If you are not used to Chinese, you can call me by my English name. Although my English is not as good as your Harvard graduate, I can communicate easily!" Li Shihao smiled and teased.
Having said that, Jeremy Lin's tense mood is undoubtedly a little relaxed.
Originally thought that Li Shihao would be difficult to deal with, but now it seems that he is as kind as the little giant Yao Ming.
"Brother Hao, I'd better use Chinese. Communicating with you can just practice my Chinese level," Jeremy Lin smiled and continued, "Brother Hao, I'm going to participate in the draft this year, but my agent told me The exposure is not enough, I am afraid that few teams are willing to take me, I would like to ask your opinion."
Li Shihao pondered for a while and said, "Shu Hao, how many teams have invited you for trial training?"
Jeremy Lin looked embarrassed, and said: "So far only eight teams have invited me for trial training, but it seems that there are not many teams that will really consider choosing me. I'm afraid there are only one or two teams waiting for the Mavericks!"
Li Shihao nodded, understanding what Jeremy Lin said.
For a rookie, it is good to have a team willing to invite him to participate in the trial training, but it also depends on whether the team that invites him has the ability to select him, or has enough lineup depth to accommodate him.
For Jeremy Lin, the Dallas Mavericks are probably interested in him among the teams that invite him to try out. Jason Kidd is not generally old, and the Dallas people urgently need to find a young point guard. To share Jason Kidd's playing time, at the same time, the experienced Jason Kidd can also impart more experience to young players.
However, although 2010 was a young year in the draft, there were also excellent point guards. In March Madness this year, the Harvard University team only made it to the top 64 in the United States. was selected at the meeting.
“浩哥，试训邀请我去参与过了，他并不进行5v5对抗，反而进行的是1v1、2v2以及3v3的对抗，这样的打球方式对我挺不利的。”林书豪皱着眉说出了自己的缺点。
Li Shihao nodded. He also had the idea of participating in the draft in his sophomore year. At that time, he was troubled by this reason, and finally decided to practice in the NCAA for another year.
There are no 5v5 duels in the NBA's trial training, which is too disadvantageous for players with thin bodies and poor singles ability.
Jeremy Lin is obviously troubled by this rule.
Li Shihao stood up and patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already applied to the team for a trial training opportunity. This is set up for you alone. There will be a 5v5 combination confrontation. You have to take advantage of this opportunity." This time, if you perform well, I believe the Timberwolves will be interested in you!"
When Jeremy Lin heard this, he couldn't help but feel at ease. These days, he is worried about the draft. Although his skills are excellent in the Ivy League, they are not enough in other leagues. Will he be in the draft this year? There is a team that chooses him. This problem has been bothering this young man who is slightly younger than Li Shihao these days.
Seeing Jeremy Lin settle down, Li Shihao couldn't help smiling. Although he was only one or two years older than Jeremy Lin, in terms of temperament, he was indeed much more mature and stable than Jeremy Lin.
That afternoon, Li Shihao and Jeremy Lin came to the target center of the Timberwolves arena. The team's assistant coach Tom was already waiting. He was in charge of the Timberwolves' rookie players. He was in charge of the Timberwolves during the summer. rookie inspection.
Jeremy Lin had not received a trial training invitation from the Timberwolves before, so this time he conducted a body side data test according to the procedure.
Soon, the physical test data came out, and the situation was not ideal. Jeremy Lin's body was still too thin, which made it difficult for him to become a qualified rookie in the eyes of the team.
The NBA has always had an unwritten rule, and it can even be said to be biased. For players with weak physical fitness, the team often thinks that the former is not strong in confrontation, and it is difficult to adapt to the defensive strength in the NBA. Naturally, those players are drafted The market has dropped significantly.
However, the next 5v5 confrontation is Jeremy Lin's opportunity to perform. Whether he can seize it depends on his strength.
In order to make up a 5v5 match this time, the Timberwolves invited a total of 25 rookies and divided them into blue and white teams for group competition.
Jeremy Lin was assigned to the blue team, and the opposing white team player was Eric Bledsoe from the University of Kentucky.
The University of Kentucky is the championship team this year, and the starting five players all hope to be selected in the first round. Among them, John Wall can be said to have booked the No. [-] pick in advance.
As for Eric Bledsoe, he is a potential guard at the University of Kentucky. This summer, the Timberwolves have a lot of interest in him. Bledsoe is known as "Little LeBron". Excellent athletic ability, belongs to the athletic guard with the best physical fitness, strong and fast; fierce defense on the ball, frequent steals, wingspan enough to mark the flanks; excellent shooting ability, sharp breakthrough and ability to draw fouls.
Facing such an opponent, Jeremy Lin can be said to have hit a smelly and hard stone, which is very difficult.
