I am Really an Insider

Tony Allen dragged his tired body back and couldn't help but sigh - it's so difficult to be a professional player.

Tony thinks that he still has to endure hardships. To be honest, his basketball talent is not worth talking about compared to those real geniuses.

It was through hard work step by step that he got to where he is today, from a junior college player to now having a chance to enter the first round of the draft.

But the recent training period still makes Tony feel very grueling.

In the summer of the draft, Teacher Tony thought he would just meet the general managers of NBA teams, shoot commercials, and then go up and shake hands with David Stern.

As a result, this draft summer was completely different from what he expected!

According to Schwartz: “Training hard now is not only to get good results in the trial, but also to lay the foundation for the following summer league.

Don't underestimate the summer league. Those guys who are eager to compete for a place in the NBA will fight harder than ever.

If you are not prepared, you will only be abused. "

There is no other way but to work hard.

Moreover, seeing Wayne training so hard every day, it was hard for Teacher Tony to retreat alone.

Sure enough, training two people together can still have the effect of supervising each other.

When Tony walked to the door of his house and opened the door, he smelled the aroma of fried meat.

To be honest, Tony was already hungry after training all day.

Now that I smell the fragrance as soon as I enter the house, Tony can't control it at all!

He rushed into the kitchen and found a dinner already on the table.

Due to the requirements of the nutritionist, Wayne and Tony's diet is strictly planned.

The nutritionist packed the food they would eat for each meal every day and put it in the refrigerator, labeled it, and Wayne and Tony could take it out and prepare it themselves.

When it comes to cooking, it actually means taking what the nutritionist has packed, which is basically chicken breast or beef and various vegetables, and frying them.

And because Wayne and Tony have different needs for weight gain, not only do they eat different amounts, but they also eat at different times.

Tony eats three meals a day, while Wayne eats five meals a day.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, except for breakfast, Tony and Wayne would go to their respective meal times and eat separately.

Tony looked at his watch. At this time, it was probably not dinner time for Wayne yet.

so

"Wardfa? Wayne, are you preparing this for me?"

"Yeah, just think of it as thank you for making breakfast for me today, Tony.

I know you are very tired today and I have nothing to do anyway, so I will help you fry the beef for dinner first.

Moreover, after today we will go to trial training separately. It's our last meal together, and let me wish you good luck.

By the way, I also squeezed juice, let’s get some together? "

After Wayne finished speaking, he felt a little weird. Why did he say something like a date for a drink at night?

The exhausted Tony looked at the beef on the table. Although it could be seen at a glance that it was old and mushy... But for some reason, Tony felt warm in his heart.

After a day's work, tired and hungry, a delicious dinner is waiting for you as soon as you get home.

What more bikes do you want?

But when you make dinner, you make dinner. There are three candles on the table. What do you mean by candlelight dinner?

"By the way, before we eat, I want to perform a ritual with you. It needs to be completed while we are not separated yet." Seeing Tony bite the hook obediently, Wayne was about to start reeling in the thread.

"ceremony?"

“Well, in China, if the relationship between two people is particularly good, we will perform a ceremony called ‘worshiping the handle’.

After the ceremony, the two will become sworn brothers. This means that two people are like brothers and share the same love and affection!

The ritual requires a special kind of candle called an 'incense', which is not available here, so I used ordinary candles instead.

Will you be my sworn brother, Tony? "

I've never seen Wayne play tricks before. I've only seen him on TV. What he did just now was all pieced together nonsense.

But it's enough to fool the old beauty.

"Wayne, can I really do this?" Teacher Tony was fooled immediately. He thought this was a very serious and important ceremony in China, so he didn't dare to smile playfully.

"I have no relatives or friends here. You and I are the closest. If you are not qualified, then who can?"

"Well, I would like to be your good brother in America, Wayne! It's my honor!"

Then, Wayne and Tony stood side by side and said some nonsense such as "I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to live and die in the same year, the same month, the same day, and share the blessings and hardships."

Chinese people may be tired of hearing these words because they are played on TV every day.

But Tony felt it was new, and it completely frightened him, so much so that his eyes filled with tears when he looked at the three candles.

"Okay Tony, the ceremony is over. Come and eat. After eating this steak, you and I will be good brothers!"

"Yeah! You are one of the few good people I have ever met, Wayne."

Seeing Tony sitting down obediently and starting to eat the burnt piece of beef, Wayne let out a big sigh of relief.

From now on, please call me Wei. Big fool. Well!

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for reaching a new bond level, the bond reward has been unlocked."

At this time, the exciting system prompt sounded in Wayne's ears.

Tony ate a bite of beef and drank a sip of juice, as if he had finished two bowls of wine. He narrowed his eyes and began to speak seriously: "Wayne, my good brother. You don't know, when I was on the streets of Chicago, Ah, that too”

"Well, Tony, you eat first, I'll go back to the room to rest for a while, and then I'll listen to you talk about Chicago's past in the evening."

Tony was just about to tell the childhood story that Wayne had heard so many times that it made his ears tingle when he saw Wayne suddenly turn around and run back into the room.

"Oh, what, have a good rest. Thank you, Wayne." Teacher Tony shook his head, thinking that Wayne must be exhausted too.

But in fact, Wayne went back to his room to study the reward he had cheated!

After returning to the room, Wayne quickly opened the system interface and found that on the bond page, Tony Allen's progress bar had been filled to the first tick mark.

It may be that this function has not been unlocked before, resulting in a relatively low default value. Otherwise, given the relationship between Wayne and Tony, the progress of their bond would never be this small.

At this time, there is an additional button at the bottom of the page: "Receive bond rewards."

After clicking to claim it, a white light flashed as always.

Wayne was looking forward to it and didn't know what good things he could get from Teacher Tony.

According to the introduction of the previous system, the unlocked items are badges related to teammates’ abilities, special actions and shooting actions, and other special functions.

Well, as long as it's not Tony Allen's shooting bag, then it must have its own iron-making attributes.

For example, who can bear a three-point shooting percentage of -10%?

Finally, what appeared in front of Wayne was a brand new badge.

Although it was only at the bronze level, after reading the description of the badge, Wayne said it was a huge profit!

"Badge: Hard Defense (Bronze, upgradeable).

Effect: Slightly improves the effect of close defense, and slightly improves the impact of close defense on the ball holder. "

Isn't this what Wayne urgently needs now!

Due to insufficient strength and weight, Wayne's biggest fear is that he will not be effective when defending closely.

In this era, it is difficult for an inside lineman to gain trust without defense.

And in the NBA, it's not that easy to cover up your defensive deficiencies by blocking shots.

In the NCAA, Wayne once had 11 risks in a single game. But in the NBA, you only have a few opportunities to block shots in a game.

Well now, with this badge, it can somewhat make up for Wayne's disadvantage in ability!

If you don't have enough ability, you can get badges.

I have to say, this badge is really Tony.

Moreover, this badge can still be upgraded and can be practiced slowly. If you draw another badge upgrade essence or something, it won't be too exciting to upgrade to Silver.

"You've made a profit, this meal was worth it!" Wayne happily equipped the badge into the newly unlocked equipment slot.

I originally said that the new badge equipment slot would not be used for the time being, but it turned out that it was not idle all day.

Speaking of which, this bonding system is simply a magical skill!

If we become teammates with better stars in the future and form bonds with them, will we not be able to steal badges without mercy?

And more powerful stars may have badges with more perverted effects.

For example...Duncan's shot-blocking master?

The fragrance is getting better, and Wayne seems to have found another way to make a fortune.

However, this feature is not invincible.

According to the system description, you can only form bonds with your teammates, not your teammates, no matter how good the relationship is.

In other words, after the draft is over, Wayne and Tony will no longer be teammates, and the progress of this bond will temporarily stall.

Therefore, bond progress is not directly equivalent to personal relationships.

Despite this small flaw, this function is already very practical.

Moreover, there are still some things that have not been unlocked in the bond interface. Maybe you can increase the bond value without having to join a team in the future.

While Wayne was still congratulating himself on unlocking such a useful badge, Jeff Schwartz had already boarded a plane to Stillwater City, preparing to pick up Wayne and Tony.

Tomorrow, the two of them will start their trial training trip around the United States.

At this time, the NBA Finals is approaching, but the carnival of the weak teams has come to an end in the past few days.

The end of the draft lottery ceremony and the determination of the draft order also means that agents with rookie players on their hands are about to get busy.

Although Schwartz has Okafor as the top pick candidate, in fact, players like Okafor are the most worry-free.

He only needs to let Okafor go to the top three teams in the draft order for trial training, and other things will not be considered at all.

Once Okafor falls out of the top three, no matter who he originally wanted to choose in fourth place, he will definitely take Okafor under his wing without hesitation, even if Okafor has never tried out for them.

Of course, this is just an assumption. Schwartz will not let Okafor fall out of the top three, and the No. 1 pick is still his goal.

The Orlando Magic really want a big man in this draft, and their target is also determined to be between Okafor and Howard.

Under Schwartz's hype, Okafor now has titles such as "the stronger Garnett" and "the strongest rookie big man in the future."

And as far as Schwartz knows, Orlando's No. 1 white-robed genius also conveyed to the management his desire to partner with Okafor.

McGrady has won many personal honors, including four All-Stars, two scoring champions, and four All-NBA teams.

Therefore, he is now extremely eager for a greater honor-a championship ring.

In fact, when McGrady chose to join the Magic, he came for the ring.

That summer, the Magic claimed to be recruiting Hill and Duncan, but when Duncan failed to come, the Magic signed "spare tire" Tracy McGrady.

Maddie was ready to hug Hill's thigh, but Hill knelt down and never got up again.

McGrady, who hugged her thighs, found that she had become a thigh

Although his legs are very thin, he has no choice but to bite the bullet.

As a result, we haven't even touched the edge of the championship so far.

Since he is going to compete for the championship, McGrady definitely hopes that the more mature and more powerful Okafor can join forces with him.

Howard? That guy is just selling his talent.

With the lessons learned from Kwame Brown, all teams have to consider the consequences when selecting the top pick of a high school center.

Therefore, Schwartz does not have to worry about Okafor at all.

In this way, he can also focus on Wayne and Tony during the trial period.

Regarding Wayne, Schwartz is no less interested in him than he is in Okafor.

After all, if the market for the role behind Wayne could be opened, its value would be immeasurable.

Since the draft lottery came out, several teams have contacted Schwartz, hoping that Wayne can go to try out.

Among them, the most positive one is the Portland Trail Blazers.

They even made a promise before the trial: "If there are no major problems, we will pick Wayne with the 13th overall pick."

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

In addition to the Trail Blazers, the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics also invited Wayne to participate in trial training.

The Warriors have the 11th pick this year, and they really want a big man.

The Jazz have the 14th pick, and they need players at the fourth and fifth positions.

The Celtics have the 15th pick, but Schwartz doesn't trust Danny Ainge too much.

The reason why the Celtics tried out Wayne was probably just to pick up the slack.

Well, don't doubt Angie, he is someone who can do this kind of thing.

Doing the most things at the least cost is his style.

Of all these teams, Schwartz cares most about the Trail Blazers.

Golden State's attitude is a bit wavering, and they haven't been doing well over the years.

Salt Lake City is a good fit for Wayne, but with their draft picks, they probably won't be able to get him.

It stands to reason that Schwartz should now have in-depth communication with the Trail Blazers.

In fact, he originally planned to do this.

Until he received a call a day ago.

A phone call from Larry Bird.

Upon hearing that the Pacers were interested in Wayne, Schwartz initially thought Bird was joking.

After all, the Pacers only have one pick at No. 29 this year.

He originally wanted to politely refuse Bird, because taking Wayne to Indianapolis for a tryout would be a waste of everyone's time.

But Bird's attitude on the phone was very tough: "Bring Wayne here, I really want to see how he performs. And I promise you, if we are satisfied, I have a way to get Wayne before everyone else." .

I've been following him for a whole year and I've watched every game he plays. I needed a piece of the puzzle, and this was an opportunity to get him straight to the top. "

Schwartz knew Bird was not lying because his informant Sweat was a scout for the Pacers and they had indeed been observing Wayne for a long time.

Therefore, Bird's call made Schwartz a little shaken.

His addition made Wayne's situation more complicated.

In today's warm-up match, the Nuggets' lineup is incredible: PG Teacher Yue, SG Jerami Grant, SF Bolbol, PF Millsap, and C Plumlee. Really, the five major causes of death.
