Chapter 40: Yao Ming's Call

Wade's high-profile performance made him a soul-like figure of the Heat. In the Heat, he is the leader, the only leader!

Compared with Wade's highlight performance, Nowitzki's performance in this finals is a bit substandard!

Played a total of six finals. Nowitzki averaged 22.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. It looks pretty good, but if you look closely at his shooting percentage, you will find that Nowitzki played very well in this finals. not ideal!

The total shooting rate is less than 40%, only 39%, which is not like the shooting rate of the league superstars. The three-point shooting rate is only 25%, and this shooting rate is even more miserable...

In addition to the poor shooting percentage, Nowitzki's defensive end in this round of the series is not good enough...

Because of abnormal performance, after the German anti-aircraft artillery finished this finals, they were directly dubbed "soft" by the disappointed fans!

...

On June 20, the last game of the finals was over, and the Heat won the championship!

On the second day, Li Tuanjie received notices for trial training from several teams!

In fact, before the end of the finals, Li Tuanjie had already received notices of trial training from many teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves. Li Tuanjie tactfully rejected the trial training of these teams for a simple reason. I feel ill...

It's not that Li Tuanjie has opinions on these teams, but that he really doesn't want to join these teams!

Among the teams that notified Li Tuanjie for the trial training this time, there were three local Texas teams, which are the top three in Texas. In addition, there were some teams that Li Tuanjie was not very interested in.

The top three in Texas are not very far from Stanford International University. It is very convenient for Li Tuanjie to try out, and a few hours' drive is enough to run back and forth.

But Li Tuanjie was not so stupid that all three teams tried out, and the Spurs directly ruled out Li Tuanjie...

Are you kidding me? The Spurs only have one second-round pick with the 29th overall pick this year. Li Tuan doesn't think he will be so sad that he will be selected at the second-to-last position...

You don't need to think about it, you know, if you go, you may fall into Popovich's trick...

Based on Li Tuanjie's understanding of Popovich, he may abduct Li Tuanjie to fake his injury or pretend to have a mental illness relapse, so as to dispel other teams' idea of ​​choosing him, and then let the Spurs pick up the leak...

Don't doubt, the black-bellied Mr. Popovich can definitely do this kind of thing...

The Rockets and the Mavericks, Li Tuanjie is going to try out. Now Li Tuanjie is not worried that he will not be selected, but that he will fall into the second round, which will make him lose a lot of salary.

Both the Rockets and the Mavericks have first-round picks. The Rockets are the eighth pick in the first round, and the Mavericks are the 29th pick in the first round.

Although these two picks are not high, they are at least the first round picks...

Before Li Tuanjie left, he received a strange call.

"Hey, is this Li Tuanjie? I'm Yao Ming, haha, it's not easy to find your number!" Li Tuanjie held the mobile phone that Xia Fangfei had just bought for him, listening to hearty laughter from the other end of the phone .

Yao Ming? ! Yao Ming of the Rockets? ! Li Tuan was full of surprises!

Yao Ming has a very high status in the minds of Chinese basketball players, and it can even be said that he is a totem. After all, he is the only player who can truly break out in the NBA so far!

"Yao Ming?! Brother Yao?! Hello, hello, haha! Hello, Brother Yao!" Li Tuanjie stuttered excitedly.

"Brother Yao, what a coincidence, I'm going to try out for the Rockets tomorrow, haha, maybe we have a chance to become teammates by then!"

Yao Ming on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

"Unity, we are all compatriots. Although we are in contact for the first time, we have compatriots. I still want to give you some advice on drafting."

"To be honest, Unity, I also watched the video of your performance during the trial training. It really surprised me. I really didn't expect there to be such a skilled offensive power forward player like you in China!"

"According to your strength, I feel that this year's top five draft picks are not a problem, but the negative news that is not good for you will definitely affect your pick!"

"As far as I know, the Rockets hold the No. 8 pick this time. Their main goal is to choose a swingman. At present, they are very inclined to choose Rudy Gay. Do you know what I mean? ..."

Yao Ming's tone was very sincere. The purpose of his call was obvious. The time for the draft was very close. He didn't want Li Tuan to waste time on the Rockets!

Because the Rockets will use their No. 8 pick to choose Rudy Gay!

Li Tuanjie was a little dazed. The information disclosed by Yao Ming, Li Tuanjie thought about it carefully, and it was indeed reasonable. Right now, McGrady of the Rockets is suffering from injuries, and his condition has declined sharply. They must find a forward and guard who can succeed McGrady. , otherwise, their outside line will become weak.

"Don't get me wrong, United, it's not that I don't want to come to the Rockets, on the contrary, I really hope that we have the opportunity to fight together, but for your development, I feel that the Rockets are not very suitable for you..." Seeing that Li Tuanjie didn't speak, Yao Ming immediately explained.

"Thank you, Brother Yao, I understand what you mean. In fact, the Rockets are indeed not my first choice. If the Rockets don't pick me with the No. 8 pick, then I basically have no chance of joining the Rockets..."

In the draft, the team chooses players, not the players choose the team. With Li Tuan's strength, even if he has a history of mental illness, he probably won't fall into the second-round pick. There are still teams willing to gamble!

The Rockets only have one first-round pick. If they don't choose Li Tuanjie with the No. 8 pick, they will completely lose the chance to sign with Li Tuanjie.

...

After exchanging pleasantries with Yao Ming, the two hung up the phone. Li Tuanjie was still very grateful to Yao Ming. His call was obviously out of good intentions.

"It seems that there is no need to go to the Rockets for trial training, so let's go directly to the Mavericks. The draft is only a few days away, so hurry up!"

It is also a coincidence that the city where Li Tuanjie is located happens to be Dallas, the capital of Texas!

And the Mavericks' home city also happens to be Dallas, which seems to be an arrangement of fate...

(Um, it’s actually Dahei’s arrangement)

Due to the short distance, when she learned that Li Tuanjie was going to try out for the Mavericks, Xia Fangfei volunteered to drive as a driver...

It can be seen that Xia Fangfei is very happy for Li Tuan to try out the local Texas team, with a smile on her face.
