Chapter 109 The Last Stand: Phoenix Suns

After the trial training with the Clippers, Enron finally saw the strength of American rookies. Even those players who may not be drafted are better than ordinary CBA players.

The power of these rookies is beyond the imagination of normal thinking. Countless physical monsters are displaying their talents on the court wantonly.

After a tryout with the Clippers, when he saw several unnamed players competing for windmill dunks on the court, An Ran vowed never to claim that his physical fitness was better again.

When he was in prison, he was not considered top-notch physically. The players there were prisoners and prison guards who had not received formal training. Now that he is in the world's highest level league, Anron has seen too many things that are difficult for ordinary people to do.

Imaginary strongman.

Regarding his two trial trainings, An Ran felt that there were no problems and his performance was normal, even a little extraordinary.

However, because he has not competed against this year's rookie players who are recognized as strong, An Ran is not sure what his current strength is.

On the way to the Suns for a tryout, An Ran learned about the Suns' team history and current situation.

However, after this understanding, Enron discovered that the Suns may be the team most likely to draft him with the highest pick, but they will also be the team most difficult to get ahead.

In recent years, the Suns' management, which has experienced great benefits over the past decade, is looking forward to the arrival of the next Nash every year. It hopes to carry forward the run and gun tactics again.

It can be seen from Dragic, Bradley, Wright and others that the Suns now feel like they are scratching the lottery. Each point guard scratches one by one, and I get lucky and lose my life.

So now Enron can't guess what the Suns are thinking, whether they are looking for a passing master to play run-and-gun tactics again, building a team around Booker, or learning the Celtics' sudden style of play.

"What are you thinking about? Just be yourself. I don't believe you can't play here!"

An Ran encouraged herself silently in her heart.

There are not many teams still in trial training now. After all, it is already the end of May, and the draft will start in about twenty days. Most teams have already found their favorite players.

Because it is a small year for the draft, there is not much news about rookies in media reports. Except for a few promising players, there is almost no report on other players.

An Ran looked through the basketball news on Twitter and found that most people were paying attention to the news about the finals. Curry and Thompson had a highlight season with three-pointers, and even led the league in the regular season with 73 wins.

record, the best regular season record in history makes Warriors fans crazy.

Even professional prediction companies are optimistic that the Warriors can resolve the battle within 6 games.

But Enron seems that things may not be simple. First of all, from the offensive end, the combination of Love and Irving has become James' best helper. In terms of offensive firepower alone, the Cavaliers have been the most powerful in recent seasons.

Although the defensive end is not strong, the Cavaliers may not be as loose in the finals mode as they were in the regular season, and with James sitting first in the league, the Cavaliers can be said to be the strongest lineup in recent years.

Although I don't want to admit it, the league is indeed in the era of three-pointers now, and even many insiders have begun to practice three-pointers.

An Ran couldn't laugh or cry when he thought about his impressive outside shooting percentage. He hoped to get some help on shooting through the trial training.

"Hey, Brother Yao, why are you calling now?"

Seeing Yao Ming's call ringing on her cell phone, An Ran quickly picked it up, fearing that she would miss his call.

Although Yao Ming did not teach many skills due to his position, An Ran preferred to treat him as an elder.

Whether it is his view of American culture or his concern for the national team, he deserves his own admiration.

"Nothing, just asking about your trial training." Yao Ming on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile.

Hearing that it was about the trial training, An Ran relaxed a lot. After all, Yao Ming's previous idea of ​​becoming the number one player in the men's basketball team really put too much pressure on him.

An Ran has always been afraid that he will fail in the NBA because Yao Ming's expectations of him are too high.

"I'm going to the Suns for a trial soon. It's the last stop. I feel like I'm doing pretty well. If I'm lucky, I can make it to the first round."

After hearing An Ran's words, Yao Ming was obviously very satisfied.

With Zhou Qi almost locked in as a first-round pick, it would be really good if the Chinese can produce another first-round pick this year.

Yao Ming does not recommend that many of the so-called outstanding domestic players come to the United States for training because he knows that their strength is far from the strength of the NBA, and their potential is incomparable to that of American players.

Sending them to the NBA for trials is nothing more than disappointing the Chinese people again and again.

Zhou Qi and An Ran are different. This season's performance, both of them have shown very good basic skills, which makes people see their endless potential for improvement.

When he learned that An Ran could speak English like the locals, Yao Ming had high hopes for An Ran.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you show your strength normally, there will be no problem playing in the NBA. It doesn't matter if the results of the draft are not good. We have the ability and we will be able to do it sooner or later."

When An Ran heard what Yao Ming said, her nervous mood felt much better, and she said slowly: "I will do it, don't worry."

"By the way, the national team's half-month vacation is about to end. When can you come back for training after the trial training." Yao Ming asked softly.

After hearing Yao Ming's words, An Ran pondered for a moment, and then replied: "About early June, I want to stay for a few more days, there are still some things that have not been dealt with."

The thing that An Ran was talking about was of course Elle Fanning. When she came to the United States once, it was reasonable and reasonable to contact her. After all, she was very unhappy before leaving.

Since I am determined to enter the NBA in the future, I should tell Ally in advance.

Besides Ellie, the one An Ran wanted to find the most was Martin. He had been a prison guard for more than ten years, but now he suddenly left. An Ran wanted to find out what happened and communicate her future plans with him.

.

An Ran knew that he had always wanted to see Yao Ming again, and she was probably the one who could help him realize his wish.

"It's okay. If you still have something to deal with, just come back after finishing it. But I suggest you come back early. After all, the roster of players has not been finalized yet. Although this does not hinder it, your playing time will also be assessed in the future.

definite."

Feeling Yao Ming's care for her between the lines, An Ran was very moved, and silently made up her mind to play well in the game and win glory for the men's basketball team.

As expected, when we arrived at the home court of the Suns, the huge gymnasium was full, but there were not many people on the court. An Ran glanced at it and recognized no one.

Although he had gained a lot of NBA knowledge, because he had no plans to enter the league before, Enron rarely paid attention to the news about the players. He only knew about the team's starting lineup and a few well-known substitutes.

Walking around the stadium, An Ran couldn't see any sign of him being tried out, so he couldn't help but want to take out his phone and ask the assistant coach who notified him.

"Is it possible that he was cheated?" An Ran was a little at a loss. Someone else was trying to trick him into trying out?

But in a second thought, I gave up this idea. Just after I gave my name, the security guard let me in. Someone must have said hello.

"Hey kid, come here." A short black man waved to An Ran.

"Looking for me?" An Ran glanced around and found that he was pointing at herself.

When she saw him, An Ran felt a familiar feeling, and her heart began to beat, thinking: "Who is this, and why does it feel so familiar?"

An Ran was not sure where he had seen this black man, but after seeing Devin Booker next to him, An Ran was suddenly shocked.

The memory was just awakened.

The black man in front of him is Bledsoe, who was reimbursed this season, and it was his reimbursement that gave Booker more playing time, and he was finally selected to the final rookie team.

Aren't the two people in front of me just the two of them? One is the current core defender, and the other is the person who may be the cornerstone of the team in the future.

Without having time to think about it, An Ran walked straight over, and then heard Bledsoe say: "When defending a back hit, especially for someone taller than you, it's okay to make a little move, as long as it doesn't offend, the referee usually won't do it.

I called you a defensive foul."

Booker nodded and looked at An Ran with a vague understanding. He didn't know why Bledsoe asked him to come over.

"You come and hit me from behind, don't use force yet." Bledsoe picked up the basketball and handed it to An Ran, and then said.

The two men took up positions outside the three-second line. Anron gradually lowered his center of gravity, but it was obvious that Bledsoe's center of gravity was lower because he was only 185cm tall, which was a full 10 centimeters shorter than Anron.

Feeling signs of extra force on his back, Anron began to lean back, trying to explore the center of gravity of his defense.

"Attention, now!" Bledsoe shouted to Booker loudly.

Just when she exerted her strength, An Ran felt bursts of stinging pain in her waist, which was so painful that she was pushed.

Isn't this an elbow? An Ran thought, if he defends like this, is he acting like a blind referee?

However, Booker's eyes clearly lit up on the sidelines.

When he looked over, he saw half of Bledsoe's forearm pressing An Ran's butt, and then his elbow hit An Ran's waist.

In this case, it is obvious that they are taking advantage of the fact that the physical contact between the two people is blocked to make some small movements.

"If you are guarding a big man who is taller than you, the referee will usually not call it. If you cannot bear it, just elbow him in the waist like this!"

Feeling the increasing strength in her waist, An Ran felt a stinging pain, and then she had to relieve some of the pressure, and then she felt better.

"Booker, come and try it!"

Just when An Ran felt that his waist was about to break due to the pressure, Bledsoe finally let go of his arm and said to Booker.
