"Wittman, why are you here?" Luther asked in surprise after seeing who it was.”
Randy Wittman adjusted his suit and tie. He walked over quickly and said with a smile," Our Eastern Conference teams will observe each other's rookies during this trial period. Today is the 76ers 'trial open day. I happened to be free, so I came to see if there were any good seedlings!”
This time, even Han Zhe understood. This was resource sharing. Everyone could go to each team's training camp to observe each other. This way, the net would be wider. Whether a good seedling could be selected depended on one's own judgment and whether one was willing to give up the first pick.
Luther's eyes lit up because he was familiar with Wittman. The key was that Wittman had just been promoted to the head coach of the Wizards, which meant that he could make decisions in the Wizards.
Luther let go of his unhappiness and shook hands with Wittman with a smile. Then he said bluntly," I heard that you also started a training camp. It just so happens that I have a player who wants to participate in the training camp. For the sake of an old friend, how about helping me?”
Wittman glanced at Han Zhe and knew that Luther was probably talking about him. After thinking for a moment, he said," Luther, you know that our training camp only recruits rookies.”
Luther laughed out loud." Wittman, I won't make things difficult for you. Let me introduce you. This is Han. He's one of the rookie candidates.”
Wittman shook hands with Han Zhe and looked at him in surprise. He really didn't know that there was an Asian guy like Han Zhe among the candidates this year. It wasn't strange. There were more than 100 candidates, and they would only pay attention to the rookies they had high hopes for and those who were already famous.
Wittman naturally didn't know that Han Zhe was at the bottom of all the rookie ranking prediction websites.
After hearing Luther's introduction, Wittman nodded." In that case, there's no problem. It's not a big deal. Tomorrow, you can let Han come to our Genius for a trial. But let me say this first. A trial is a trial. Whether or not Han can be selected depends on his own ability. I can't guarantee anything in advance!”
Luther knew what Wittman meant. When some players went to the team for trial training, the team would promise to sign them with a draft pick. Even if they didn't like them in the end, the draft would still use the draft pick on them to improve the status of the rookie. Even if they were to give it to someone else, it would also give the rookie a chance to increase his value.
Whitman was saying that if Han Zhe didn't perform well, he wouldn't waste a lot on him, not even in the second round.
Of course, Luther had no objections. In fact, this kind of situation was usually a player that the team valued very much. The team would take the initiative to invite others for trial training. Of course, Han Zhe, who came to him on his own, would not receive such treatment. Wittman had mentioned it in advance because he was afraid that good intentions would cause bad things. If it was because of this, there was no need to become enemies with Luther.
Luther and Han Zhe both expressed their gratitude to Whitman and shook hands to bid farewell.
Han Zhe felt that his heart couldn't take it anymore today. This was really heaven and hell. It was torturous. He had just suffered a critical blow, and now he had encountered a sweet date?
After they parted ways with Han Zhe and the others, an assistant next to Wittman asked in confusion," They're obviously here to participate in the 76ers 'trial but were rejected. That Asian definitely can't do it. Why should we accept him?”
Wittman smiled and said," Roy, you can't just look at the surface. First of all, although Luther doesn't have any big players under him, he was born in the NAC, so he still has a lot of friends. You know, it's hard for him to do things for some people, but it's easy to do bad things for them. Besides, having more friends is a small matter. We still have a spot, so there's no need to reject Luther's face. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
"Secondly, didn't you see Luther cursing just now? Luther usually wouldn't lose his composure like this. It only proves that he was treated unfairly by the 76ers. When I saw that Han is Asian, I understood. Everyone knows what kind of person Collins is, so we don't know how strong Han is. He might be of some value. You have to know that these agents 'judgment isn't worse than ours. If he can see China and Korea, it proves that Han definitely has his value." Anyway, we have nothing to lose by letting him try out. If Han is outstanding, then we will benefit. If Han is not good, then just ignore him. Why reject him?”
Roy nodded in realization. No wonder he had been promoted to head coach, and he was still an assistant coach. Just the problem of vision was far beyond him. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn, not just basketball!
After Han Zhe and his wife returned to the hotel, Han Zhe used the hotel phone to tell his family that he was safe and that he had received the good news of the trial training.
After hanging up the phone, Han Zhe's eyes were a little wet. As the saying goes, a mother worries for a child who travels a thousand miles. This was indeed true. His mother, Li Xuelan, was crying on the phone. She was afraid that he would be cold, hungry, or bullied. She nagged for a long time before hanging up. If it wasn't for the fact that she was afraid that her son would be too expensive to make international calls, she would have nagged for the whole day.
Han Zhe secretly sighed. He must have been a great philanthropist in his previous life to be born into such a good family. It was not because of the financial aspect. His family did not have much money, but they had the love of a father and a mother.
His parents had spoiled him since he was young. He could play basketball whenever he wanted and attend sports schools whenever he wanted. China had always believed that all things were inferior except for studying. To most people, studying in sports schools was not a proper career and had no future. After all, only a few people could become athletes. It was not easy to find a job for sports school graduates. It would be lucky if they could become a sports teacher or something, but his parents still agreed.
During this period, Han Zhe said that he wanted to enter the NBA in the future, but he was afraid that he would not be able to speak the language. His parents even spent money to enroll him in English classes. At that time, it was impossible for him to enter the NBA. His parents comforted him instead. It was fine to spend some money. It was always good to learn more skills. Although they did not have much money at home, as long as it was spent on their son, it was worth it!
Now that Han Zhe was in a mess in the country and suddenly wanted to go abroad, his parents still supported him unconditionally. How could Han Zhe not be touched?
Han Zhe looked at the phone and thought for a while. He gave up on telling Liu Yan. After what happened to the 76ers, he felt more and more uncertain. He didn't know if there were any changes to the prodigies. It was better not to tell them now, lest he was embarrassed.
During the day, Luther took Han Zhe around to relax and relieve his depression. In the afternoon, Luther took Han Zhe to Washington.
After settling down in Washington, it was already late at night. When he went to bed, Han Zhe woke up several times, but he couldn't sleep well. When he woke up again, it was finally dawn.
What would happen to today's trip?
