Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Chapter 332 A New Era Begins!

(I'm really sorry, I didn't come out until now during the day as promised, it's the helplessness of the part-time author...)

A little before the Hornets won the championship, the league had just concluded its lottery draw and joint workouts.

Because the Thunder had a better record than historically, they got the 6th pick, and this pick was obviously not enough to get the No. 1 pick in the first round. But in any case, it has nothing to do with them.

Their two picks this year are both from the Hornets.

New York and the Warriors, who are interested in Curry, got the 8th and 7th picks respectively.

With the sixth pick, it can be said that it is a little more stable.

At this time, the Hornets hold three picks, namely No. 6, No. 13, and No. 24.

The No. 6 pick is of course Curry. For the remaining two picks, Lian Feng still needs to think carefully. Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him. It was something that the team management should worry about, but now Lian Feng is in

The team's right to speak is sometimes even higher than that of head coach Adelman. If he doesn't like a certain player, then that player may not be able to make the team.

Curry's physical measurement data shows that he is 1.88 meters tall barefoot, weighs 82 kilograms, has an arm span of 1.92 meters, a standing reach of 2.46 meters, a body fat rate of 5.7%, can jump 75 centimeters in place, and can bench press 82 kilograms 10 times at the same time.

Among the draft players, the physical talent is really average.

Subsequently, George Sheen, on behalf of the Hornets, sent Curry an invitation to the team for a trial training, and Curry's team accepted the trial training as a matter of course.

For Curry Sr., there is no team more suitable for his son to join than the Hornets at this time.

As an old shooter, he knows very well the foundation for a shooter to gain a foothold in the league.

That is, there must be a guy in the team who can create space. This person can be another shooter or a super breakthrough player, but no matter what, that guy must be able to attract opponents like a magnet attracting nails.

And Lian Feng...that guy is a breakthrough player and a top shooter.

In addition, if a rookie wants to grow rapidly, three factors are indispensable.

Opportunity, culture and pathfinders.

Opportunity is naturally the opportunity to play. Looking across the entire league, no team can give Stephen more time than the Hornets.

They have no point guard.

Although they won the championship without a point guard, it doesn't mean they don't need a point guard.

If they have a point guard, it will be easier. The Hornets have promised that as long as Stephen comes, he will be the starting point guard.

Don't worry about the authenticity of this promise. Everyone knows football, and everyone understands that the Hornets need a point guard. As long as Stephen goes, no one will have a position conflict with him.

As long as there are enough opportunities to play, even if you make mistakes on the field, you will grow if you make too many mistakes.

The second factor, culture, and the third factor, guide, can actually be mentioned together.

A team that has never won a championship and a team that just won a championship are definitely two completely different experiences.

The Spurs have been hiding in a quiet land with team basketball for twenty years. This is the team culture they have had since the emergence of Duncan and Popovich; in the glorious history of the Lakers and Boston Celtics, different

The team culture styles of the period were different, but they all led to success; and one

Jordan, who has always been called the God of Basketball, has reshaped the basketball atmosphere in Chicago over a period of time, and condensed it into a dynasty from scratch. In a certain respect, the impact of culture on the team may be as much as

Dominance on the basketball court is a factor that affects the progress of the team.

Now, the Hornets are also a team with a championship culture. Their leader Lian Feng uses keywords such as responsibility, equality, friendship, and happiness to make this team a melting pot. As long as you go there, you will definitely win.

You can find the secret to winning the championship.

So, what are the options?

Moreover, the most important point is that Lian Feng likes Curry.

This appreciation will allow him to impart experience to Curry more unreservedly.

Moreover, there is something proud about Old Curry...he is a famous Hornets player.

I believe that when Stephen joins the Hornets, his personal connections can still play a role at some critical moments.

…

When Curry first arrived in New Orleans, he was excited and nervous.

There were several outstanding players participating in the trial with him, Harden, DeRozan... Jennings, and the little-known Beverley.

The five of them were placed in the same hotel.

The next day, while waiting for the team bus to pick them up, Curry sat bored in the lobby, next to Beverley, who was silently eating a bag of free potato chips in the hotel.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Curry took the initiative to say hello to Beverley.

Beverley glanced at Curry and didn't really want to pay attention to Curry.

Unlike Curry, who has become a household star in the United States through his performance in March Madness, Beverley's fate can be said to be tragic compared to Curry's.

"Patrick Beverley." Beverley responded coldly.

Curry felt Beverley's indifference, and he was a little surprised, but in order to avoid being embarrassed, he continued to find a topic and said: "Man, which university are you from?"

But this sentence of "university" stung Beverly's nerves a bit.

Like many black players, Beverley was born in a single family in Chicago. He lived a very hard life and was in danger every day and night. His stepfather was a local gang member and attended Beverley High School.

In 2001, he took 15 bullets in his body and passed away.

He regarded basketball as the only way to change his destiny, but in his junior year he was found to have cheated on his essay. At the age of 20, he could only go to a secondary league in Ukraine and endure the hardships of a foreign land.

"Do you like chatting with strangers?" Beverley said to Curry coldly.

Curry shrugged: "I just thought maybe we might become teammates, so we got to know each other in advance."

Become teammates...?

Beverly felt slightly sad.

It's so hard.

At least for him, it was too difficult.

Of course Beverley knows the guy in front of him. It shouldn't be a surprise if he wants to become an NBA player or even join this championship team.

But...what about myself?

Will the Hornets choose themselves?

"Thank you man."

Beverly was silent for a while, and her tone became more relaxed.

No matter what, he felt he had a chance!
