Chapter 115: : [Dare you dare to challenge me? 】


2006 is actually a recognized draft year. This can be seen from many draft prediction websites: they do n’t even have a recognized top pick, and the lottery list has changed very much.
This is very different from the past few years. In the past few years, the top picks were basically locked in the month before the draft, as well as the top five picks.
But this year. Some people think that Aldridge will be the champion, some people think that the Italians will be the champion, some people think that Morrison has a chance, and some think that Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay ... None of this rookie can be talented Combat strength overwhelming players.
Therefore, the Orlando training camp is very fierce. It is like a ‘Roman Colosseum’ atmosphere.
Every day, players make news here. For example ... Rodney Carney performed a stunning 720 degree turn shot the day before yesterday. Redick made 38 consecutive three-pointers in training camp. Brandon Roy completely suppressed Rudy in the heads-up with Rudy Gay. Randy Foye played well in a three-on-three game ...
When all rookies took a 100% stance, the scouts and general managers who came to investigate were quite satisfied.
And as all kinds of news spread out from here, the rookie market also fiercely swings.
Sometimes within a day, the draft picks of the same player will even rise and fall a dozen places.
However, Bruce Lee was an accident. He has been staying in Los Angeles, far from the center of the storm, since he got the endorsement of Kwame Brown, his pick has always remained firmly at the 15th pick, which can be said to be unmoved.
This makes the rookies who are deliberate and hard-working perform quite uncomfortable.
Why can he soak up Hollywood actresses and sit on Diaoyutai? Why doesn't he come to try out the training and still occupy the media?
This sour grape psychology reached its peak when Li Zhen flew from the west coast to the south coast ... when he arrived at the physical training camp.
And it became another mentality: I had to teach this kid in front of everyone.
Therefore, from the first second that Bruce entered the training camp on May 17, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
The reporters quickly gathered together to ask questions about the long-lost hot rookie.
These basketball reporters are very concerned about the recent news from various teams and hope to get a response from Li Zhen.
Recently, the Charlotte media has been rumored, and Michael Jordan is doing his best to persuade all executives to select Bruce Lee with the third pick. The San Antonio Spurs' team reporters revealed that Greg Popovich often watched the Stanford Reds game video and recommended it to the players. He thinks Bruce Lee has the style of Stephen Nash. Watching his game helps the Spurs limit their upcoming opponent Phoenix Suns.
In addition, the latest news from the New York media shows that Isaiah Thomas, who traded the first-round draft pick last year (that is, the Chicago Bulls' No. 2 pick this year), is working hard to find a high-ranked lottery draw. Some sources pointed out that Isaiah Thomas is really very bullish on Bruce Lee.
There is also the Houston Rockets. They tasted the sweetness from Yao Can and hope to form a Chinese version of the ok combination. But the news shows that the shrewd and stingy do not intend to take the eighth pick.
"My agent told me that Michael Jordan was not good news before the draft." Bruce Lee said self-deprecatingly, he once again mocked Michael's draft vision.
"I am very happy to be recognized by coach Popovich. The Spurs have always been a team I love very much. Their unity and selfless style of play have a very positive effect on me."
"New York is the city where I grew up. I lived there for 16 years. If I can go back to my hometown, I think my parents, my friends, my neighbors, and my neighbor's dogs will be very happy."
"I recently did some non-basketball-related work in Los Angeles. I made a music album with the help of Double Star. Our collaboration is very pleasant and smooth. Soon everyone will be able to hear my songs. It should not be hard to hear. . "
"I'm still single. My ability in love is comparable to my ability to compete for frontcourt rebounds in the penalty area. I can only occasionally get a frontcourt rebound when my teammates are completely stuck in position."
Bruce Lee did not refuse the reporters' questions. And show his humor.
But this kind of humor also brings new problems. The reporter of espn asked him with a smirk: "So, you like to take the initiative to help your girl? Is it best that she can move automatically?"
Uh ... This speed is a bit violent.
The reporters around laughed.
Bruce the pure little boy scratched his head, he didn't even understand what is called automatic. He is still considering: the advantages and disadvantages of dual-clutch gearbox and at gearbox.
"So, what do you think of this training camp? Now there is not much time in training camp. Before this, there have been many players who have performed brilliantly. How do you plan to seize the remaining time and let everyone see To your strength. "
TNT's female reporter helped the handsome shy and charming Bruce Lee to make the cut. She didn't want this group of sullen men in the sports world to bully Bruce. She asked the topic.
"Uh ... I will try to be myself ..."
Li really hasn't finished speaking.
A black guy came running and shouted in a pretended gesture: "Hey, Bruce. Mop of ncaa, do you dare to challenge me?"
This guy named Shannon Brown comes from Michigan State University, and he is looking at Li Zhen with a provocative look.
Shannon Brown had an extremely eye-catching high school resume. At the time, he even said that he was physically strong and LeBron James, and he was also selected as a McDonald's high school All-Star. If he announced that he would participate in the draft that year, he might even get a lottery pick in 2003. In fact, even after he entered college, he was ranked in the lottery every year.
But this year, his market is very bad. On the one hand, it is because he is a bit older. On the other hand, his performance in the top 64 tournaments is too clumsy, which makes people worry about whether he will adapt to nba in the future. Therefore, his draft ranking has been hovering in the second round.
These days, he worked hard in training camp.
But ... I never got a blockbuster opportunity. Even in a five-on-five contest, he was educated by Lagallondo from the University of Kentucky. Seeing that after the game, La Gallondo talked with the Boston Celtics scouts, he was very anxious. Even more eager to seize the last chance before the draft and become famous.
Today, Bruce Lee came to the stadium. He knew that many people regarded Bruce Lee as a hunting target.
So, he was ready to shoot the first shot.
However, Bruce Lee just smiled faintly. He calmly told Shannon Brown who was eager to try: "Sorry, this gentleman. I am not interested in accepting your challenge. And, the whole world knows ... My value is not one to one Heads up. I am a point guard. "
These words blocked Shannon Brown at the time.
He was even a little bit embarrassed and angry: Is this calling me not pure enough?
But at this moment, another voice came: "So, are you interested in a 5 to 5 full game?"
Li Zhen turned around and a player wearing training uniform No. 9 stepped forward. And he was followed by five or six players of different sizes. Obviously, he has taken the lead in forming a team.
Moreover, from his jersey number. His status in this training camp is not low: training camps generally give jersey numbers based on popularity, strength, etc. He can wear the number 9, indicating that he is at least a lottery candidate for this rookie.
"His name is Randy Foye, Villanueva's super defender, and he is a senior with very strong combat strength." TNT's female reporter whispered to Bruce.
At this time, the surrounding players, scouts, and staff gathered together.
It's all people who look lively but not too big.
