Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 3 is he is he is him

The plane soon arrived in Los Angeles.

The second largest city in the United States in California and the largest city in the West is often called the City of Angels by fans.

But the locals don't like this name. They have their favorite name, Los Angeles Spring City.

Aden chatted with Zhao Hao all the way, and then got off the plane.

Looking at the bustling Los Angeles Airport, Zhao Hao couldn't help swallowing, this airport is too big, even though he traveled here from 2020, he still felt amazed.

The most important thing is the girls who come and go, are you serious?Poor enough to wear only two thin cloths?

The two did not delay too much time. After getting off the plane, they rushed all the way to the Staples Arena.

Aden knew that if it was another team, he might not be able to find any team staff when he went to the arena at this time, but the Lakers were different because there was that man on the team.

The most exaggerated self-consciousness in the league, who often uses the 4 o'clock sun in Los Angeles as a catchphrase, this person's surname is Kobe Bryant.

At this time, he will definitely be training in the arena, so he will definitely be accompanied by many staff.

The security guard at the door stopped the two of them as it should be. After all, there are too many Kobe fans. Putting a person in casually may cause unnecessary trouble. What's more, Kobe himself is in trouble now. There are two men.

Aden seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago. He held the other party's hand and said a lot, and finally showed his agent qualifications as proof.

Under his tongue, the security guard gradually relaxed, and then he said a lot of attention and warnings before letting the two of them in.

The two walked through a corridor and walked in the upper aisle of the court.

There were endless crackling sounds in the stadium. Sure enough, there was a tall, dark, thin man training on the court, accompanied by several staff members, picking up the ball, and occasionally correcting his shooting posture.

Zhao Hao's eyes were moist, and his heart was full of miscellaneous food.

It's him, it's him, it's him, our little hero...

Bah bah bah, no, it's our blacksmith in Los Angeles.

Thinking of the earthquake-like news at two o'clock in the morning, it was really a wonderful thing to be able to come back and see him again.

"No, I'm going to go down and tell him now, from now on, fly less planes, drive more, drive more, drive more! Say important things three times!"

Just as Zhao Hao was about to fulfill the dream of the blacksmith with billions of fans under his feet, a tall man in a black suit in the aisle attracted his attention.

"I didn't expect to meet Tomjanovich, the new coach of the Lakers. Zhao, we are lucky." Aden turned his head to Zhao Hao and said excitedly after seeing him.

Tomjanovich, five-time All-Star, NBA Hall of Fame player, No. 1970 pick in [-], has led the Mosaic team to two championships as the head coach, which is the only two championships in the history of the Mosaic team.

This is a proper champion coach, but at this time he is standing alone in the aisle, watching Kobe shoot again and again under his feet, with a serious face, without the elegance and confidence of a champion coach.

Of course he was in a bad mood, because the management had informed him last night that O'Neal had applied for a deal, and the deal was close to being concluded, just waiting for the day when the free market opened.

From the beginning when Phil Jackson chose to resign as the head coach after the end of the season, Tang Shuai had already guessed that the Lakers this offseason were bound to cause a wave of volatility.

What he didn't expect was that this fluctuation came so quickly and turbulently, and what he didn't expect was that Old Buss would find him to take over the coach in the end.

As a basketball player, Tang Shuai is very aware of O'Neal's dominance on the court. Without O'Neal, the Lakers really can't do anything with the current players, even with this young man in front of them.

Tang Shuai glanced at Kobe who was still sweating profusely on the court and couldn't help sighing.

"This kid's talent is visible to the naked eye, and what's even more commendable is that he has such a hard-working attitude. He will definitely have a place in the future Hall of Fame."

"A lot of media compare him with Jordan. Although he is still a lot worse than that old man, he is already very good. After all, he is the god of basketball. It is an honor to be compared with him. "

Just as Tang Shuai was meditating in his heart, two figures suddenly walked up to him.

"Hello, Tang Shuai." Zhao Hao greeted directly.

Tang Shuai shifted his gaze to the two of them unexpectedly, and was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Hao's figure.

This figure, this proportion, this face, it's just perfect.

"Hello, young man, are you a student around Los Angeles? If you want Kobe's autograph, now is not a good time, he will finish training in an hour, then come to him." Tang Shuai preconceived, thinking Zhao Hao is a high school or university student, and said plainly.

Zhao Hao's head was full of black lines, what the hell?student?Want to sign?
Your eyes are too hard to use. Could it be that you think of me as the baby face of the future Golden State Warriors?

Although my face is also very cute, but is that guy as strong as me?

"No, no, no, he's not a student, but a professional basketball player who wants to get a trial training from the Lakers." Aden quickly explained from the side.

Although he also felt that Tang Shuai recognized Zhao Hao as a student was a bit dizzy and speechless, but after all, he was the new coach of the Lakers and held the power of life and death, so he definitely didn't dare to express such emotions.

Tang Shuai glanced at Zhao Hao in surprise, his brows tightened. This level of physique is undoubtedly like a professional basketball player.

It's just that the draft is over, and the trial training is obviously over. What does it mean to come here for a trial training at this time?
Thinking of this year's draft, Tang Shuai's mind suddenly became dizzy. Although this year's rookie is not as talented as the previous year and ranked first in the entire draft history, it is obviously a big draft year.

Howard, Okafor, Gordon, Luol Deng, Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Tony Allen... a group of rookies with good potential.

But what did the Lakers general manager choose?Vujacic was selected with the 27th pick in the first round?
I heard that this guy has shown a good free throw talent in the NCAA, my god, what do you want to do with that guy!
Isn't Ariza, who was selected by New York with the 14th overall pick in the second round, not good?Active defense, flexible movement, and good fixed-point three-pointers, he is most suitable as a guard with a knife next to Kobe.

I have to say that Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers, did a very stupid thing.

"Didn't you participate in the draft?" Tang Shuai asked curiously.

He is indeed a little puzzled. With such a physical condition, his athletic ability must be good. If he participates in the draft, it should attract the attention of many teams.

"I can't participate in the draft." Zhao Hao spread his hands, expressing his innocence.

Looking at Tang Shuai who was puzzled, Aden reminded: "He is not a local player, but from China, so he was not able to participate in the draft."

If players outside the United States want to participate in the NBA draft, the conditions are actually not harsh.

As long as you are 22 years old, you are eligible to participate in the NBA draft, or even if you are not 22 years old, you only need to send written notice to the NBA in advance when you are 18 years old.

It's really easy, but the problem is that NBA teams don't trust foreign players. They prefer to choose local players who are trained by themselves because of familiarity and understanding.

And except for the talented players who became famous in high school, most of the players participating in the draft have experienced the baptism of March Madness in the NCAA.

They have fully demonstrated their strength under the eyes of countless scouts, and it is easier to get the team's favor.

In the final analysis, they are skeptical of foreign players.

For example, in 2002, the Mosaic team chose Dayao with the No. [-] pick. At that time, the sports impurities and commentators in the United States almost drowned Dayao.

It is precisely because of this that Dayao suffered so many unequal treatment, blows and insults when he entered the NBA.
