Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 42: 03 Draft Lottery and Chicago Combined Training Camp!
Work hard, fight... Not just shouting at the sea, but one morning after training wholeheartedly for a month, Tan Yang received a system message.

It seems to have been upgraded?
Maybe it's a downgrade?
The reverse growth value reaches 100, and then everything returns to zero. Anyway, the ability value reversely grows and advances to the Kidd template for the 11/12 season.

"Reverse growth progress bar: 0. (10/11 season template)"

Opening the simple system page, Tan Yang had an expression of emotion on his face.

My question is, will there be any special effects after upgrading?

Are there any other changes with the upgrade?

"..."

“It doesn’t seem to have changed, it’s just that the numbers have changed.

Ordinary, simple, upgraded but not as if upgraded..."

Tan Yang really wanted to diss the system, and reversed the growth to the next stage without adding wings or dimming special effects. It was too flattering, and it was simply a bad review.

“This user experience is not as good as the Wanwan Blue Moon endorsed by Zha Zhahui.

At least I have a blessing: Come and chop me down if you are a brother.

You are just changing numbers, there is no future!
The system, if it continues like this, will become a pill..."

Veteran Joel Sports Arena.

Tan Yang stood on the court, took the ball and looked around the entire arena, and then pointed his finger to challenge his opponent Chris Paul.

“I feel like I’ve become stronger, but I don’t know what my combat power is yet.

But, my lovely little brother, please accept the punishment..."

After saying that, Tan Yang immediately shot a three-point pull-up jumper...

In the 12/13 season, Kidd was very good at three-point shooting. In the 11/12 season, Kidd should be even more capable, right?
According to the upgrade theory, this is the truth, but unfortunately, it does not apply to Kidd's situation.

Bang-dang——!
The strike missed.

"You call this becoming stronger?"

Chris Paul looked at Tan Yang with an expression of "that's it", then took the ball, and with an accelerated change of direction, he immediately passed Tan Yang like an early morning street, and then made a layup under the basket, beating the basketball. Enter.

Tan Yang feels that his lateral movement speed has become a little faster, but what Kidd is most afraid of are speedy offensive players. That increased speed is still not enough in front of Chris Paul.

After several rounds, Tan Yang still couldn't guard against Paul's breakthrough. Even though he was very familiar with Paul's breakthrough rhythm and habits, his head was still able to defend, but his body couldn't.

If he fights and retreats, he will immediately be hit by Paul's mid-range shot. He can't defend him, he can't defend him at all.

Losing 183 days, switching to Kobe Bryant to defend would not be an advantage.

Otherwise, there would not have been the famous scene of using Tyronn Lue to defend Iverson.

In terms of height, the current freshman Paul may be shorter than the fully formed Iverson. It's not surprising that he can't guard him, let alone care about him.

What Tan Yang cares about is that when he is attacking, his three-point shooting feels worse.

It is very possible that Kidd's three-point shooting ability has declined in the 11/12 season?
Tan Yang felt very speechless, and then felt very reasonable.

"This is the real base attack!
As long as there is no problem with shooting talent and ability, will he be given this nickname?

Moreover, in the 10/11 season, Kidd had just won his first championship in his career, so the thread of hard work and perseverance is likely to be stretched..."

Not even a possibility, but a certainty.

You’ve already won a championship and have no regrets in your career. Are you still working hard for this Der?
Kidd's three-point ability was developed through hard work in the later period. Without that kind of spirit, who would challenge his own weakness? He is 40 years old, why are he still playing with his life?

After learning about the skill instructions for the Kidd template in his later years and being promoted after reverse growth, Tan Yang felt lonely after upgrading.

“Fortunately, it will be fine just to get through this stage of the 11/12 season.

The decline in offensive skills is not unacceptable. As for physical athletic ability, it is improving.

When the body and technology reach a certain level, it will be the complete Kidd template..."

The ability value injected at that time is the most effective, and this is what Tan Yang looks forward to most.

During the one-month training break, Tan Yang was not idle. He met with many agents, famous and unknown, knew their names and did not know their names, and had conversations with them. Most of them were from the Chongzhonghua Family. Comes from identity.

In the end, two options were drawn: Bill Duffy and Dan Fagan.

Considering his draft situation, he was just a second-round pick, so Tan Yang chose to sign with Dan Fegan.

"Arenas' script is still too tempting.

Moreover, it is not just Arenas alone, there is also a second rich and handsome man.

If one person succeeds, it may be just by chance, but if two people are successful in the second round, why choose one..."

Moreover, the conditions given by others are good:
Personal salary commission is 4%.

The advertising contract is limited to North America, and only 15% is charged.

……

On April 4st, all games of the 21/02 NBA regular season ended, and the playoffs are about to begin.

This year was 2003, an odd year. Tan Yang felt that the gears of fate were on track. As soon as he opened and closed his eyes, when he woke up, the NBA championship Spurs were determined.

At this moment, the NBA league is in the era of Lake and Spurs competing for hegemony. Between the two teams of Lake and Spurs, who can advance to the finals from the West? No matter which team from the East reaches the finals, it’s the fucking championship. Champion's Postman.

Tan Yang only watched the Western Conference semifinals series between the Lakers and the Spurs, and then did not watch other games. After all, Yao Ming's Rockets did not get a playoff spot, and other teams could not arouse much interest. It’s better to train hard and improve yourself.

Entering May, the first round of the playoffs is over and the 5 draft lottery begins.

03 is regarded as a draft year on the same level as 96. It is a paradise for bad teams.

In order to enter this paradise, the Raptors, Cavaliers and Heat in the Eastern Conference are all working hard.

The Raptors were still a fucking playoff team in the 01/02 season. Even with four major shooting guards like Carter, they still chose to perform like crazy.

The Cavaliers didn't bother, they were really bad. In order to get James, their management sent away all the players who could play early, and also chose a useless head coach to lead the team. It didn't matter if they didn't think bad.

Because of Mourning's injury, the Heat can only rebuild, which makes sense.

The worst teams in the Western Conference are the Nuggets and Clippers. Then, the most ruthless team is the Grizzlies. Originally they didn't want to show off, but they are really bad if they can't stand up to the team.

Other teams in this paradise will have the opportunity to select talented rookies to build their teams, regardless of whether they get the No. 1 pick.

The Grizzlies went through it alone. With restricted draft picks given away, the team was so bad that they could only pick the No. 1 pick.

You must know that since joining the NBA in 95, this team has not won the No. pick. This is not ruthless. Who can be ruthless than him?

In the end, the real masters of spoiling are the Nuggets and Cavaliers, both with 17-65 records, tied for last place. In other words, both teams have a 25% chance of getting the No. pick.

In the end, the Cavaliers became the biggest winner. After all, they are the hometown team of the Chosen One. They will definitely be the one who spares no effort in cultivating the league's image.

The second biggest winner was the Pistons. They got the Grizzlies' pick. The Grizzlies only got the second pick, which was also given to the Pistons.

This was a gift from heaven, and the Pistons were stunned.

The Nuggets were in a hurry and only got the third overall pick, but only two of the 03 top picks were the most dissatisfied.

The Raptors got the fourth pick.

The Heat got the 5th pick.

The Clippers picked No. 6.

It can be said that the teams that played badly got pretty good picks.

……

As a second-round pick, Tan Yang is not just watching the show, but also preparing for his next draft.

It is equivalent to looking for a job position. You must first look at the positions that the company is recruiting before you can be ready to apply.

Of course, Tan Yang also has companies and teams he wants to go to.

For example, the first choice is the Suns in the Western Conference.

Marbury's ability to lead a team is not good. He is too independent and cannot be a point guard. If he can occupy the position in advance and play before Nash joins, the road to the future will be easier.

Moreover, Tan Yang remembered that the Suns got Lightning that year, the Brazilian type. As long as they killed Barbosa, they might be able to replace him.

Then there is the Warriors, where the traditional tactics are run and gun, which is hell for the inside, but heaven for the defenders.

Moreover, Arenas definitely cannot be retained, and he can just fill this vacant position.

Finally, there is the Rockets. If they can pass the ball to Yao Ming for two years, it will be a wonderful thing. After all, his career is very long.

Next, there is the Heat in the Eastern Conference. While playing with Wade, they can also go to the beach and watch the waves.

If he performs well, he might be able to join the Lakers in 04.

The Lakers are the team with the weakest point guard, and their performance is just enough for the contract year to be renewed.

If he didn't go to the Lakers, he would be competing for the championship with the Heat.

If you can't find a team you like, then the goal is to compete for the championship team, which can not only increase exposure and popularity, but also compete for championship honors.

This all requires understanding the draft picks of each team to make a choice. This is 03, not ten years later, when you can get the information you need by surfing the Internet.

After understanding the general situation of each team's draft picks, the next trip is to Chicago.

……

Chicago, United Center.

Two days after the 03 draft lottery, the Bulls held the NBA joint trial camp as scheduled at home.

"Height is 198cm barefoot, 201cm wearing shoes, weight 93KG, wingspan 1m 95cm."

In the physical examination area, Tan Yang, who had specially had a haircut like Xiandao Akira's hair, came out with his data and was immediately looked at by the testing staff.

Good guy, your wingspan is 1 meters and your bare feet are 95 meters. How many pairs of socks must you be wearing on these feet?
And this hairstyle, although it can’t compare to the afro, it’s not that different!

However, the testing staff were also well-informed and faithfully wrote down the data measured by Tan Yang without any objection.

Tan Yang is very satisfied with this height data. 1 meters is still too cold. He is too tall to play point guard and too short to play shooting guard. There is no future.

“They’re all swingmen anyway, so why not swing to the small forward position?
One more location means one more choice and opportunity! "Thinking of this, Tan Yang felt a little happy.

Then, the next detection point.

In the bounce measurement area, Qin Yang's data also came out.

"The vertical reach is 300cm, and the running reach is 321cm."

"The vertical jump is 67.3cm, and the run-up jump is 77cm."

"Kidd in his twilight years is not a floor player, he is just a floor player. There is a big difference between desperately measuring data and actual combat.

As an Asian player, this jumping ability data is considered to be above the standard, but not excellent..."

The jumping force measurement is over, followed by the speed test.

"3/4 sprint, 4.25 seconds."

"The bottom line return run took 12.58 seconds."

His speed and explosive power were still too weak. Fortunately, in the final 84kg bench press test, Tan Yang pressed 21 times and showed good strength.

After the physical test, the remaining content of the joint trial includes shooting test and mixed competition...

"With my current physical talent, the risk of signing with a first-round lottery pick is too high. Team managers and coaches don't have to take such risks. They will choose to pick up the slack, right?
As a domestic player, there is actually a reason not to come to Chicago for any physical testing. Anyway, there should be, probably, a second-round pick as a base.

If you can't compete at the top, but you are guaranteed to go down, will you continue to stay and compete for the first round?

Then he was signed by a crane in the first round, and then signed a 3+1 style child labor contract?
How bad do I have to be before I work hard? Since hard work will only make me worse, I might as well just lie down..."

After taking a simple physical examination, Tan Yang said hello to Josh Howard and immediately waved and left without a single cloud.
