Chapter 12: Eve of the draft (recommendation required)

After the joint trial is over, the rookies who perform well in the training camp will be invited by the general manager and head coach of each team to participate in a separate trial.

The performance of these rookies during the trial period is likely to be the result of the team being selected by the draft.

Of course, there are also people who directly promise to go to the draft and go back again. This situation is very common.

Of course, the New York Hans will also have players to try out individually, and Bruce has long arranged for a few more promising rookies to come to try out.

In order to be remembered for this year's draft, Bruce also thought of a lot of Chinese elements to decorate the Island Garden Arena. It is currently ready, but it is covered by a white cloth in secrecy, and the interior of the arena can still be used.

Bruce issued a notification to several rookies who can be selected in the lottery to try out.

Among them are Shaq O’Neal and Alonzo Mourning. They both know that they may be selected by the top two in this year’s draft, but they still come to the arena for trial training with the mentality of trying. In any case, New York is also a big city. It is not comparable to small cities like Orlando and Charlotte. It can be traded for draft picks. If it can be traded to New York, it is not cool.

Bruce took a look at O'Neill's physical test data, and it was not bad. This big fat man had good data when he was young, and he was definitely the top pick, but why he got fatter later, he must be lazy.

After reading Alonzo Mourning's physical test data, Bruce finally decided to find the two for a separate interview.

The reason is very simple. If Shaq O’Neal can be traded for the No. 1 pick, and it will be used in 1997, then the fat man will be traded for Tim Duncan. I believe even the Spurs boss will agree. After all, O’Neal. After all these years of dominance, Popovich’s opposition is useless. After all, Tim Duncan only scored in college and he hasn’t entered the NBA. Who knows if entering the NBA will become mediocre. There are many people who know that the players who used to call the wind and the rain in the university can not play in the NBA. They are trading existing superstars for unknown superstars. All fools know how to choose.

If you can’t choose O'Fang, you can also choose Alonzo Mourning. This is also a very powerful player. Before Yao Ming entered the NBA, Alonzo Mourning’s partner Tim Duncan was no better than the previous admiral’s partner. Duncan is bad.

This business can be done, Bruce has already thought about it, and is ready to choose one of them to be the cornerstone of the team.

Oban came first, and Bruce directly asked the question he wanted to ask, "If our team chooses you, will you obey the coaching arrangements? Will you be loyal to the team? I mean one person, one city."

O'Fang was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and smiled slyly, "I will obey the coach's arrangements, and I will be loyal to the team."

Bruce knew about O'Fang in his previous life. He obeyed the coach’s arrangement and arranged for you to practice free throws. Did you practice? A coach like Phil Jackson didn’t teach you the problem of laziness. You still have the face to say; besides, you will be loyal to the ball The team, in the past life, I don’t know who tossed to each team. Every time I go to a team, I still rush to be the boss. The New York Hans only has one boss and that is the future Tim Duncan. In terms of loyalty, you are far away.

But if O'Fan can really change, Bruce doesn't mind accepting it. After all, he is one of the "big four centers", and his title is sometimes so useful.

Bruce smiled and said: "I will try my best to get the No. 1 lottery in the trade. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed, so you have to be prepared."

In fact, Bruce's heart has already lost Paz. To be honest, this person is cute and hateful. The cuteness is that he is usually amused. There are too many hateful places, so I won't give examples one by one.

O'Fang also smiled awkwardly. After all, the team chose him, not the team.

Dismissed Oban and called in Alonzo Mourning, the "Kidney Fighter".

After coming in, Bruce kept looking at Alonzo Mourning and didn’t say anything, because he didn’t know what to say. For Alonzo Mourning, apart from the four major centers that appeared in the 90s, Alonzo Mourning was The fifth-placed center, although not as legendary as the top four, is still a superstar player in the 90s, and Howard can't compete with Alonzo Mourning at all.

Alonzo Mourning was looked at by Bruce, thinking that the rumored "Prince Prince" was a glass. Does he like men?

"Little boss, if you have anything you want to ask me, just say it? Don't keep looking at me like this, I'm a little hairy?" Alonzo Mourning couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to ask.

"Alonzo, let me just say it straight. You know I have the fourth pick in the first round. I can get the top two picks through a trade, but I'm hesitating..."

"Little boss, why are you hesitating?" Alonzo Mourning was also impatient and asked hurriedly.

"I'm hesitating whether to trade the second pick with the Hornets. I know you Alonzo is a great player. I can tell you clearly. If the team chooses you after the trade, you are willing to accompany you in the past few years. The team is ups and downs, I don’t understand, then I’m bluntly because you can’t make any results in the past few years. I know you really want to compete against Shaq on the NBA platform, but you should also know that the New York Hans didn’t take long. The reality is that it is difficult to achieve any results in the next few years, so I need you to guarantee me that if you are willing to accompany the New York Hans to the ups and downs during this period, I can also assure you that I will get it at all costs. The second pick of the Hornets, and you will be the first player to retire from the jersey since the establishment of the New York Hans."

After speaking, Bruce also looked at Mourning calmly, waiting for his reply.

Yes, everyone knows that athletes have their own years of exercise. Once this number of years has passed, the only thing to say is to retire.

The reason why Bruce said it at the first time, Bruce clearly wanted to express that if you choose Alonzo Mourning, you will first waste your time in the past few years, helping the team to choose a good assistant, and then talk about the championship. If you can do it, then I can guarantee that your name is in the team's retired jersey. You must know that many NBA players want their jerseys to hang in the arena. That is definitely a lifetime honor, let alone It's Alonzo Mourning, even ordinary players will be crazy to hear this guarantee.

If it was Shaq O’Neal, Bruce would not blame himself at all, because this requires the player to silently contribute to the future of the team. O'Neal himself does not have a sense of belonging to the team, so go there if you give more money. The team, but now this person is Alonzo Mourning. In his previous life, he had undergone kidney surgery and had been resting, but in the end he continued to play for the team. This persistence deeply infected Bruce.

So Bruce must tell his truth to the tough guy on the basketball court. Not everyone will be recognized by Bruce. Alonzo Mourning is the one recognized.

Alonzo Mourning thought about it for a long time, and honestly, if the other team is a big deal, after the rookie contract ends, he will transfer to another team.

But this is the New York Hans. In front of the New York Hans "Prince" Bruce, I can’t do this, because when I was 10 years old, my parents separated. When both parents were in dispute, the judge took me Was awarded to a pair of adoptive parents who asked to support him. After that, he started a new life in a strange family. Her mother (adoptive mother) is named Fanny Slater. In her life, she has adopted at least 50 children, and she has given them a kind of love that they have never had before.

Since the last time Bruce was distributing supplies to the poor in the slum in the 1990s, his adoptive mother said to herself that there are too few people like Bruce, so Alonzo Mourning heard that she was caught. Invited to try out in New York, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep that night, thinking that if I could play for the Blues team in the future, I must go.

Finally looked up, "Little boss, I am very happy for your frankness. To be honest, I never expected you to be such a good boss for the players. I am willing to agree to join the New York Hans. I have never won a championship in NBA history. There are a lot of players in the country. I am not the one. I will be loyal to the team."

Never doubting Mourning's loyalty, Bruce stood up and shook hands with Mourning excitedly.
