Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

"To be honest, I don't quite understand why that guy named Beverley is allowed to participate in the trial training. His three-point shooting percentage is so outrageous. Did you see it? It's only 17%!"

The assistant coach said helplessly to Lian Feng.

Lian Feng was drinking coffee in the office. Because of his special status in the team, George Sheen even prepared a special office for him so that he could influence the team's decisions openly.

George Sheen is very smart. Many superstars in history can influence the team's decision-making, but they are not as thorough as Lien. Of course, this is not a deep love for Lien, but it is actually another form of love.

Maximize profits.

To put it bluntly, there is only one reason why the Hornets can make money, and that is because Lien forward is here. Therefore, the center of all team operations is to ensure that Lien forward does not leave New Orleans. Apart from this, anything else can be ranked as unimportant.

location.

After all, New Orleans is a small ball market, and it is inherently deficient in the ability to attract other capable players. Even if there is a forward here, it will be difficult to attract other capable players to join.

Cleveland, which is also a small ball market next door, is a good example. Because there has been no way to find a capable teammate for James for a long time, the son of Cleveland has almost lost his patience.

The Hornets also have this problem. If they can't keep the team in contention, what else can New Orleans do to attract a team like Lian Feng to continue playing? Love it? Haha.

And Lian Feng did not ask for a specific name to join. You must trade him for me.

All he wants is to have his own piece of advice when deciding to sign a rookie.

Moreover, Marc Gasol has proven that Lian Feng is as capable as any scout in this regard.

Is there a better superstar than Lien Feng?

Therefore, George Sheehan is willing to believe in Lian Feng.

However, the people below may not think so.

The assistant coach muttered again: "What can that guy do on the court?"

Lian Feng turned his head and looked at him calmly: "We need a defensive point guard. Listen, Curry can't play all the time on the court, otherwise he will be exhausted. We need a substitute. He doesn't need to have

No matter how strong your offensive ability is, as long as you can ensure that the team does not collapse when you are playing as a substitute for Curry, it will be considered valuable."

At present, David West's contract with the Hornets has two years left, but because West's contract is not a particularly big one, whether he renews or not, the impact is not that big.

And Korver has made it clear that he has become a free agent and is going to Miami.

Everyone else is on a rookie contract, so this team's salary space can be said to be very healthy. Even if a few more rookies are signed, it actually doesn't matter that much.

Even if they sign a few rookies, they can use the space created by Korver's departure to add one or two more strikers.

Besides, for a player like Beverley, it's okay to give him a second-round pick.

Originally, signing a rookie was like opening a blind box. There are only a few potential rookies every year, and they are basically taken away by the teams at the top of the draft. Therefore, someone like Gasol can make about

It's so surprising that Kitchen was able to play in the second round like this.

The Hornets hold three picks in the first round, so of course they can be arbitrary.

…

At this time, Adelman was lecturing several rookies who came to the trial camp.

"Some of you participated in the joint workout, and some didn't, but I think you all know what you are going to face next. We will patiently and carefully examine your potential, your strengths, and whether you can bring changes to this Hornets team.

."

"The Hornets, as you can see, are an undeniably strong team."

Jennings, Harden and Curry were all a little excited, while DeRozan was a little nervous and Beverley was apprehensive.

Do they want to join the Hornets?

For defenders like Harden, Curry and even Jennings, there is no doubt. They have a team behind them to help analyze, and the conclusion is naturally that entering the Hornets as a rookie is the best choice.

As a rookie, you won't be able to get a big contract, so you should consider more exposure, playing time and growth.

However, exposure and playing time are often somewhat contradictory.

Teams with high exposure are undoubtedly big cities or teams with big stars. Such teams have mature systems, especially if big stars want to compete for the championship, there will be fewer opportunities for newcomers, so if you go

Teams with high exposure may not get much playing time.

Although the Hornets team is in a small market, the exposure brought by Lian Fu is not low. He led the team to win the championship with a single core, but the team did not have a suitable main point guard. In other words, as long as they

As a point guard, he can enjoy a lot of exposure by staying next to Lian Feng, and at the same time, his playing time is guaranteed!

So, what other team is more suitable for leveling than this Hornets team?

Beverley and DeRozan have different ideas.

From the beginning, Beverly's goal was not to become a star. His idea was very simple, just to get a job.

He will never forget the difficult days when he first came to play in Europe. He had to stay in the training hall for 20 hours a day, because when he returned to his apartment, he could only rely on the oven to keep warm.

He positions himself as a hyena who tries his best to grab food at the bottom.

As long as the team gives him a salary, he is willing to work hard for the team!

And he also knows where the upper limit of his abilities is.

No matter who is selected as a member of the Hornets, all he has to do is work hard to be that guy's backup.

At this time, Beverley does not ask for a big contract. As long as he can get a multi-million dollar contract extension at the end of his rookie period, it is enough.

On the other side, DeRozan's purpose is also very clear.

He is targeting the vacancy at the small forward position left by the team after the departures of Korver and Jeff Green.

If that doesn't work, you can still be the sixth man for the Hornets.

The team always needs someone to lead the second team.

That's what trial training is like. If you want to get selected by the team, you'd better do your homework in advance and figure out what the team needs, and then bring out your strengths and tell the team, "Look, I'm the one you need."

Guy!"

Adelman said: "As you can see, this is a team with consecutive forwards. We need a point guard and a striker to share the pressure with the forwards. Next, we will go through a series of trials to test

Can you be the right teammate to play as a forward?"

"We have three first-round picks and one second-round pick. So as long as you perform well, you don't have to worry about losing."

"Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded.

Adelman turned around and said, "Come with me, and besides..." He turned around again and said seriously: "No video recording."

Curry silently looked at Harden next to him, whose beard had not yet evolved into a full beard.

It doesn't seem that easy to get into the Hornets.
