It would be bad luck to talk to this veteran at this time, but to sit aside and ask Jaylen Williams what he would do next.

However, looking at Jaylen Williams' expression, although he won the game, it was obviously not the kind of win he imagined.

There was nothing he could do about it, Jiang Hao thought to himself, who made him have such a bad system? In 5V5, he might not be able to see the embarrassment on the court, and 1V1 was a pure social death scene.

But Jones, who was so angry that he laughed, took the initiative to come over and ask him:

"What's your name?"

"Jiang Hao, just call me JIANG, I'm from China."

"Well, I remember you. There are not many people who can beat me in a one-on-one fight. You are a little lucky today. I wish you good luck."

"Thank you, brother, I should be able to continue to have good luck."

Jiang Hao stood up and clapped his hands with him, thinking that it was true that the appearance is determined by the heart. This baby-faced old black has a really good personality. If it were the big foreign players he knew in the CBA before, they would have been angry with him a long time ago.

"He's a nice guy. To be honest, I can only call him over. I hope he can say something good for you later."

After saying this to Jiang Hao, Jaylen Williams stood up and motioned to the rookies to drink some water and rest for a while.

The other rookies in the arena immediately started chatting.

Some talked about the 5V5 halftime where a 175cm short guy scored 12 points in a row and blew everything away. Naturally, there was also a talk about an Asian face who defeated Heat forward James Jones in a one-on-one duel.

After hearing this, Jimmy Butler had a black question mark face:

"What??? This kid beat James Jones in a one-on-one duel??? He was a loser in the one-on-one duel with me this morning, but now his defense is so strong?"

Boyang also walked over to Jiang Hao and confirmed with Jaylen Williams:

"What, is it true? Are the Chinese backcourt players so strong?"

As an international player, Boyang's impression of Chinese basketball is that the inside line is very strong, and the outside line of Asian players is the same in his eyes.

"Come on, you, come here, let's play a round."

Jones, who was about to leave, was already full of anger. When he heard a few rookies talking about Jiang Hao's weakness, he immediately lost his composure.

Jimmy Butler was really tough. He really went up when he was called by him. He also wanted to "bully" the NBA rotation-level players!

As a result, Jones only took 30 seconds to beat Butler 3:0. The last ball was the most brutal dunk with arms apart.

Jones, who was not satisfied, called Boyang, who was watching the show, as the next punching bag. He still scored 3 three-pointers in a row at 3:0. Thomas, who was standing behind at the beginning, turned around and ran away.

Jiang Hao was watching the show with relish. The more you are abused, the more awesome I am.

I beat Jones 3-1.

Do you really think you can "the children in the south village bully Jones who is old and weak"?

Don't treat James Jones as James!

I am not the Asian rookie you imagined. Who do you think Jiba is?

"I just played with you guys this morning, but you took it seriously?"

Jiang Hao's words made Jimmy Butler, who was thin and energetic, unable to refute, and his eyes avoided Jiang Hao.

He just wanted to watch the video now. How did this kid beat James Jones, who was so terrible in offense?

Bo Yang had the same idea. With Jones starting, they didn't even have a chance to touch the ball. Looking at the score, Jiang Hao was going back and forth with Jones who beat them? ? ?

That means Jiang Hao is not only good at offense, but also defense?

Or did this guy give money to James Jones?

10 minutes later.

Pat Riley, the president of the Heat, asked James Jones the same question in his office.

For Pat Riley, an NBA veteran who has been in the NBA since the last century, he can see the level of all the players in this rookie tryout in 10 minutes.

The military-style management of the Heat is vigorous and resolute, never wasting time, and within 10 minutes of a meeting, the players needed by the Heat were directly determined.

Today is actually the Heat's first tryout before the draft. These players have basically been scouted by scouts and analysts for a long time.

Some need to be snatched up in the draft, and some will be directly given development league contracts or two-way contracts as long as they are not selected. The Heat need to add 5 players this year, and the NBA roster is short of 2 players. The development league needs 3 players in weak positions of the main team to train.

But the only thing that makes him unsure is the Chinese player JIANG who was recommended by the old scout Jaylen Williams yesterday.

Spoelstra also said that he can't make a judgment on this player for the time being.

It's not that Jiang Hao is unfathomable, but his offense and defense are a bit weird.

The verbal agreement given by the Mavericks is all fake, the NBA is fake and true, and Riley doesn't care about this kind of empty head.

At this time, Jiang Hao's nationality bonus helped him a little. Originally, Riley would not take a second look at such a small role even if he was unsure. The truly talented ones would not have the word "uncertainty".

But the NBA also needs to make money. Riley has the boss and shareholders above him. Although the Heat made a lot of money last year, it does not prevent them from sharing this big pie with the Rockets.

If you are not sure, call his opponent to ask. They know the level of James Jones very well.

So Jones was called up directly at the end of the meeting.

Spo also took this time to carefully read the scouting report written by the assistants for Jiang Hao.

Jones was a little annoyed when he was called out again just after arriving at the gym, and sat down in the seat opposite Riley in the meeting room.

"Has JIANG's agent contacted you in advance?"

Riley got straight to the point, meaning, have you ever accepted his gift?

The assistant coaches also looked at Jones, although they all thought it was impossible.

But backdoors are too common in the NBA. Even head coach Spo was helped by his father to get to his current position from the basement editor of the Heat.

"Boss, I guarantee with my career that I didn't know this guy at all half an hour ago."

Jones was startled and jumped up and said.

"Well, what do you think of him after you played against him just now? Do you think he can play in the NBA?"

Jones tutted his lips and answered seriously with some awkwardness:

"I feel like I have become a loser after playing against him. Damn, his level is not very high. At most, he can play in the NCAA. I'm sure."

Chapter 8 8: Riley's Choice

"It's useless to be sure."

Riley wrinkled his face and smiled slightly, nodded to indicate that James Jones could leave.

He only believes in himself and called Jones here for reference.

"Boss, I just beat up several rookies predicted to be in the first round. They may have never played against Chinese forwards. They played a little weird."

Jones and Riley have been friends for several years. Before leaving, he touched his head and said something, which also means that I am not bad. President, don't think too much.

"No one has ever said that you are bad, don't worry."

"Haha, Jones, you are worried about nothing, look at you. "

Spo and the assistants laughed and "drove" Jones away. This guy is really honest. Who would question a veteran who has been in the league for nearly 10 years because of a single match?

Chief assistant coach and tall retired player Juwan Howard gave Jones a suggestion after he left:

"Mr. Riley, this guy looks like a male model, and he should have good money-making ability. If he can't do it, he can be put in the Development League for training."

The analyst also agreed: "Yes, if I remember correctly, this is the first Chinese forward to come to the United States. If he can play in the NBA, there will definitely be a topic."

Jaylen Williams responded repeatedly in the back: "Yes, yes, yes!"

If Jiang Hao really stays in Miami, his year-end bonus will have to double!

After YAO and YI, who doesn't know the enthusiasm of Chinese fans? If Chinese players are not too bad, the league would like to arrange a Chinese player for each team.

"How about this, Jaylen Williams, let them play another 10-minute half-court training game, and let this Jiang play against several rookies predicted to be at the end of the first round."

Riley didn't even look at Jaylen's report. After listening to everyone's discussion, he finally said.

"OK, leave it to me."

This situation seems promising to Jaylen, and few people will make Riley so interested!

10 minutes! For an ordinary rookie, Riley can only stare at him for 1 minute.

This is a special opening for Jiang Hao!

"Let's go, the Chinese forwards are all very new to us."

Spoelstra closed the scout report and smiled. As Riley's favorite disciple, Spoelstra knew his mentor's character very well. At this time, nationality, money-making ability, and appearance could not affect him.

He should still be influenced by the Mavericks. To be precise, he wanted to win the championship too much.

Everything Riley did every year was to win the championship, strengthen himself, and weaken other teams.

He is not the great saint or the godfather of the Heat as fans think. On the contrary, he is very utilitarian, otherwise why would hostile fans describe the Heat as a big villain.

After the Mavericks reversed the Heat and won the championship, Riley's small moves never stopped, raising the price of the Mavericks' expired players, and even giving other teams a move, such as guiding the Knicks, who are stupid and rich, to dig the championship center Tyson Chandler with a high salary.

Chandler is the most "feared" defensive gate of the Heat this year. After he was traded to the Knicks a few days ago, the Heat players collectively opened champagne.

After all, this JIANG is also a rookie who walked out of the Mavericks Arena alone. Riley, the old coach who is fighting against Cuban in the air, will never give up any opportunity to weaken the Mavericks.
