The God of Basketball

? 2006 is actually recognized as a small draft year, which can be seen from many draft prediction websites: they don't even have a recognized No. 1 pick, and the lottery list has changed a lot.

This is completely different from the past few years. In the past few years, the No. 1 pick and the top five picks were basically locked in a month before the draft.

But this year. Some people think that Aldridge will be the No. 1 pick, some people think that the Italian will be the No. A player who beats the pack.

Therefore, the competition in the Orlando training camp was very intense, and it was like a "Colosseum" atmosphere.

Every day there are players making news here. For example... Rodney Carney performed an earth-shattering 720-degree turn shot the day before yesterday. Redick hit three consecutive 3-pointers in training camp. Brendan Roy completely overwhelmed Rudy Gay in a one-on-one matchup with Rudy Gay. Randy Foye was great in 3-on-3….

When all the rookies showed their 100% attitude, the scouts and general managers who came to inspect were quite satisfied.

And as various news spread from here, the rookie market also fluctuated violently.

Sometimes within a day, the draft pick of the same player will even fluctuate by a dozen ranks.

However, Bruce Lee was an accident instead. He has been staying in Los Angeles, far away from the center of the storm. Since he got the endorsement of Kwame Brown, his pick has always been firmly maintained at the 15th pick, which can be said to remain unchanged.

This makes those rookies who are deliberate and perform hard are quite unhappy.

Why can he be in love with Hollywood female stars and still sit on the Diaoyutai? Why doesn't he come to the trial training and still occupy the media space?

This sour grape mentality reached its peak when Li Chen flew from the west coast to the south coast... when he arrived at the training camp.

And into another state of mind: I have to teach this kid a lesson in front of everyone.

Therefore, from the first second Bruce walked into the training camp on May 17, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

The reporters also quickly gathered to ask questions about this long-disappeared popular rookie.

These basketball reporters are very concerned about the recent news from various teams, hoping to get a response from Li Zhen.

Recently, the Charlotte media has been rumored that Michael Jordan is doing his best to persuade all executives to select Bruce Lee with the third overall pick. The team reporter of the San Antonio Spurs revealed that recently Gregovich often watched the Stanford Crimson team's game video and recommended it to the players. He thought Bruce Lee had Stephen Nash's demeanor. Watching him play will help the Spurs limit their upcoming opponent, the Phoenix Suns.

In addition, the latest news from the New York media shows that Isaiah Thomas, who traded the first-round pick last year (that is, the second pick of the Chicago Bulls this year), is trying to find a high lottery pick. Siah Thomas is really very bullish on Bruce Lee.

There is also the Houston Rockets, they have tasted the sweetness from Yao Huang, and they very much hope to form a Chinese version of the OK combination. However, various sources show that they are shrewd and stingy and do not intend to take out the eighth pick.

"My agent told me that it's not good news to be picked by Michael Jordan before the draft." Bruce Lee said self-deprecatingly, and he once again teased Michael's draft vision.

"I am very happy to be recognized by Coach Vicki. The Spurs have always been a team I love very much. Their united and selfless style of play has a very positive effect on me."

"New York is the city where I grew up and lived there for 16 years.

If I can go back to my hometown, I think my parents, my friends, my neighbor and the neighbor's dog will be very happy. "

"I've been doing some non-basketball-related work in Los Angeles recently. I made a music album with the help of Double Star. Our cooperation is very pleasant and smooth. Soon everyone will be able to hear my songs. It shouldn't be hard to listen to. .”

"I'm still single. My ability to be in a relationship is about the same as my ability to compete for the offensive rebound in the paint. I can only get an occasional offensive rebound when my teammates completely block the position."

Bruce Lee was open to questions from the reporters. And showing off his sense of humor.

But this kind of humor also brought new problems. The ESPN reporter asked him with a smirk: "So, do you like girls who take the initiative to block for you? It's best if she can move the automatic transmission by herself?"

Uh... this speed is a bit fierce.

The surrounding reporters roared with laughter.

Bruce, a pure boy, scratched the back of his head, he didn't even understand what is called fully automatic. He is still considering: the advantages and disadvantages of dual clutch gearbox and at gearbox.

"So, what do you think of this training camp? There is not much time for the training camp now. Before that, many players have already performed brilliantly. How do you plan to seize the remaining time and let everyone see to your strength."

TNT's female reporter helped the handsome, shy and charming Bruce Lee out of the siege. She didn't want these men in the sports circle to bully Bruce. She got to the point.

"Eh... I will try my best to be myself..."

Li Zhen has not finished speaking.

A black buddy ran over and shouted in a pretentious manner: "Hey, Bruce. Naa's op, do you dare to challenge me one-on-one?"

This guy named Shannon Brown is from Michigan State University, and he is looking at Li Zhen provocatively.

Shannon Brown has an extremely eye-catching high school resume. At that time, he was even known as LeBron James for his physical fitness, and he was also selected as a McDonald's High School All-Star. Had he declared for the draft that year, he might even have gotten a lottery pick in 2003, when there were so many strong players. In fact, even after he entered college, he was a lottery pick every year.

But this year, his market is very bad. On the one hand, it is because he is a bit old, and on the other hand, his performance in the top 64 tournament is too poor, which makes people worry about whether he, who mainly plays singles, can adapt to the NBA in the future. Therefore, his draft ranking has been hovering in the second round.

These days, he trains hard in the training camp.

But... I never got the chance to make a big splash. Even in a five-on-five contest, he was taught to be a man by Lagalondo from the University of Kentucky. Seeing that Lagalondo had a happy chat with Boston Celtics scouts after the game, he was distraught. I can't wait to seize the last chance before the draft and make a name for myself.

And today, Bruce Lee came to the court. He knew that many people regarded Bruce Lee as a hunting target.

So, he was ready to fire the first shot.

However, Bruce Lee just smiled, and he calmly told Shannon Brown who was eager to try: "Sorry, sir. I am not interested in accepting your challenge. Besides, the whole world knows...my value is not in one-on-one One-on-one. I'm a point guard."

These words blocked Shannon Brown in place at the time.

He even became a little annoyed: Are you scolding me for not being pure enough?

But at this moment, another voice came: "So, are you interested in a 5-on-5 full-court match?"

Li Zhen looked around and saw a player wearing No. 9 training uniform walking towards him. And behind him were five or six players of different sizes. Obviously, he had already taken the lead in forming a team.

And, judging by his jersey number. His status in this training camp is not low: training camps generally give jersey numbers based on popularity, strength, etc., and he can wear No. 9, which shows that he is at least a lottery candidate among this rookie class.

"His name is Randy Foye, Villanueva's super guard, and he is a senior with a very strong immediate combat ability." TNT's female reporter whispered to Bruce.

At this time, the surrounding players, scouts, and staff gathered around.

They are all people who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.
