"What do you mean? What do you mean by this secret?" An Ran listened to Smith in confusion.

Smith had anticipated Enron's reaction and patiently explained: "There is an amazing secret hidden in the base of the O'Brien Cup. The ring of every Finals FMVP is the key to unlocking such a secret. So if you can enter

NBA, try your best to compete for the championship."

"What the hell? What is that secret?"

Smith smiled: "Of course I can't know. Only every FMVP is qualified to know, so this is why every player works hard to reach the finals."

His words made An Ran fall into deep thought. After a long time, he said: "Then how do you know that there is indeed such a secret? Maybe it's a lie!"

Seeing him smile weakly again, An Ran had a bad feeling, and then heard him say: "You can choose to believe it, or you can choose not to believe it, but I'm just telling you, you can't win the championship anyway.

.”

Smith's words were like a knife piercing An Ran's heart.

But the words are rough and the reasoning is rough. I want to learn to run even before I learn to walk.

When he thought of this, An Ran immediately felt relieved. It would be more valuable to consider this issue when he really has the strength. Now it is more realistic to honestly think about how to enter the NBA. If the trial training situation is not good,

It would be really funny to be an undrafted player.

"Do you remember what I said?" Smith asked suddenly.

An Ran moved her eyes from what he was eating to him, and then saw Smith who looked old and disrespectful.

Just listen to him say: "I hope you can really become a superstar in the league. Don't forget to support me when the time comes."

An Ran touched her nose, somewhat unwilling to pay attention to this shameless person.

When he really has the ability to affect a person's punishment time, An Ran will choose to release this old immortal without hesitation. But if he really has this strength, I'm afraid he will have to reach the level of a league superstar.

Watching An Ran turn around and leave, Smith's radiant eyes instantly dimmed and returned to their dull, unattractive state. No one noticed what he whispered in his mouth: "Dreams are meant to be chased.

of."

…

One day later, Anron arrived in Boston, but because the Boston collective trial time had long passed, Anron's arrival did not attract the attention of many scouts and team management.

When An Ran noticed that not even an assistant coach from the team came to watch his trial training, he already knew he was going to be disappointed.

As expected, an older international player whose statistics were not outstanding still failed to attract their attention. As a veteran giant, the Celtics naturally put their strength first.

Therefore, after training with the Celtics, An Ran rushed to the west coast of the continent without stopping to prepare for the training sessions with the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns.

The only thing that gave Anron some peace of mind was that when he first arrived in Los Angeles, the Celtics team manager who called himself Danny Engi personally called and said that he was very satisfied with Enron's trial training. If Anron had not been selected by the team before, then

Will draft him in the second round.

"It's hard work! The second round is fine, at least there's a ball to play!"

Facing the hot weather in Los Angeles, An Ran sighed to the sky. However, a group of people who had just got off the plane looked at An Ran as if they were a fool, not knowing what he was mumbling about.

An Ran didn't pay attention to their gazes at all. How can you understand Chinese easily?

However, I pay more attention to this trial with the Clippers because Los Angeles is a big ball market. Even though there is a veteran team like the Lakers as the home team, there are still many fans who like the Clippers.

Especially after Kobe Bryant retired on April 4 this year, the Lakers' attention is not as high as before. It's not that those diehard fans don't like the Lakers anymore, but they no longer reject the Clippers' arrival.

It's like a man who has a wife but still misses the beautiful girl outside.

Los Angeles has not been a strong team since ancient times. In the first year of its establishment, it even recruited weak players from other teams. The Bulls' center who averaged 4 points per game wants it! The Knicks' forward who averages 2.6 points per game wants it!

So the Clippers relied on a bunch of weaklings and rookies to act as weaklings for several years. Although they had a record in the conference finals, the Clippers have always been considered a theoretically strong team.

Even after Paul joined, he played several seasons of excellent ball with Griffin and Jordan, but he still didn't make it to the Western Conference Finals.

Therefore, Enron knew that his biggest possibility was the Clippers, a team in desperate need of fresh blood and immediate combat capabilities. Enron had no doubt that they would choose him at the end of the first round.

May 25th is destined to be a day that affects countless players, because today, the Clippers, one of the few big markets in the league, will complete their last day of trial training.

An Ran actually knew that Zhou Qi had been tried out individually by the Clippers a long time ago and had performed very well. They would probably use the late first round pick to acquire him.

But what Enron believes more is that now the Clippers are obviously a team that wants to compete for the championship, and his immediate combat ability should be more coveted than his talent.

Staples Center, the home court shared by the Lakers and Clippers, will end the last day of workouts for the Clippers today.

"Welcome to Los Angeles! Let me introduce myself first. I am the assistant coach who is hosting the trial today. My name is Prince Ferrell. You can call me Ferrell."

His words aroused sporadic applause, because on the last day, not many people came to try out.

An Ran glanced around, and there were only six or seven people there, which was completely different from the trial training with more than a dozen people in the past few days.

In fact, this is normal. Those who are interested in joining have come early in the trial training, and those who still come now are just some players who don't have much hope.

"I have obtained all your physical test data. A simple evaluation is that they are not satisfactory." Ferrer said with a smile.

But he continued: "Of course, many of you have your own characteristics, and just looking at the data can't reflect anything. So you know what I'm going to say next, right?"

Seeing him looking at her, An Ran felt tense and had a bad premonition.

"That's right, we don't have time to take care of the mood of some undrafted players. Our scouts and assistant coaches are very busy." After saying that, Ferrell tore the player's physical test data in his hand into two halves.

Seeing now, An Ran understood very well that there were not many players among today's players who made their hearts beat, but he gave himself a meaningful look. What did this mean?

"Coach, give us a chance, give us a chance to prove it!"

Seeing that he had torn up the physical test data, several players who had come here early for trial training were anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to retain him, hoping to get a chance to show it off.

In fact, they all know that depending on their level, the best result is to be selected in the second round. But the team does not just look at the data. The second round is different because many people are selected.

So under Ferrell's threats, several people expressed that they would try their best.

"Anron, you and Jacobs each lead a team and each picks a player. Anron, you start first."

After hearing this, An Ran understood what he meant. It was a competition. Only in the competition could we see the true strength of the players on the court. The physical test data was just a reference.

But when they heard that An Ran was leading the team, a few black people on the court really took An Ran seriously. They wondered what his virtues and abilities were. How could a yellow man lead the team?

For a moment, whether they were jealous or envious, several people cast different eyes on An Ran.

In the end, Enron selected Williams, a small forward from Indiana University, and Miles, a fourth-year power forward from St. Joseph's University.

Myers is a short and stocky big man. With a height of 2.03, he is indeed short for a power forward, but his thick bottom plate allows him to occupy a good position in the blocking position.

Williams is a slender small forward who is good at jumping. He has strong athletic ability but inaccurate shooting, so every team is not optimistic about him.

Jacobs chose Webb III and a black center. None of the three had strong shooting abilities, but in terms of physical fitness alone, they were already above average in this draft.

Just when An Ran gathered them around, he suddenly discovered that there was a large group of people on the sidelines, and he was a little confused for a moment.

"It's Brewer! The Clippers' chief scout! Why is he here?" Myers also captured this scene for the first time and said excitedly.

He is already a senior, and he must make some gains in this year's draft. However, he tried out for several teams, and no one was optimistic about him. He is only 2.03 in height for a forward position, and his skills are still rough. This has almost declared him

It must have failed.

"It's nothing, just give him a good fight." An Ran patted him to regain consciousness, and then said calmly.

Miles nodded immediately, saying that he would definitely perform well.

Just when An Ran was about to lay out his tactics, Williams said, "An Ran, you can give me the ball. Believe me, they will be dunked in the penalty area by me!"

Hearing his words, An Ran frowned slightly, obviously he could see that a big scout was coming and he wanted to show off.

However, for the sake of team harmony, An Ran still said: "Of course, I will definitely pass the ball if I have the opportunity."

"By the way, how are you shooting?" Williams asked instead.

"Me? It's just average. I'm more sure of the openings." An Ran said modestly.

"Then don't throw the ball casually. If it doesn't work, just give me the ball." Williams said confidently.

After hearing his words, An Ran and Miles both felt bad. This teammate had a bit of personal heroism.

After listening to his words, An Ran realized that he was no longer in the country, who could he show his humility to?

Only strong strength can deserve respect.
