The next day.
The two of them cleaned up early in the morning. Han Zhe also changed into a set of clean white sportswear and looked very energetic.
On the way, Luther told Han Zhe about the history of the 76ers. Actually, Han Zhe knew the team better than Luther. The reason was simple. He liked the team, and the reason he liked the team was Iverson.
Iverson had a graceful style of play, lightning speed, and sharp breakthrough skills. It was a pleasure to watch him play. His gorgeous style of play made him have many fans all over the world.
In fact, there were many famous players who had played for the 76ers, such as Chamberlain and Dr. J. But in recent years, whenever the 76ers were mentioned, the first person that came to mind was definitely Iverson. He was already a new label for the 76ers.
Han Zhe was happy to be able to go to the 76ers for a trial because the 76ers were a traditional strong team and a regular in the playoffs. If he was chosen by the 76ers, he had a good chance of playing in the playoffs during his rookie season.
When the two arrived at the Wachovia Center, the guard did not stop them and let them in. It seemed that someone had already greeted them.
Han Zhe was very nervous and excited along the way. Getting the chance to try out was his first step, and he was closer to joining the NBA.
However, Han Zhe was still a little worried. Although he was very capable now, the NBA was the palace of basketball. None of the players there were to be trifled with. He had never played against NBA players personally, so he did not know what level he was at. He also did not know if he was qualified to join an NBA team. Everything was unknown!
When he arrived at the training center, Han Zhe noticed that many people were already training. There were also a few reporters beside him. They should be local reporters. After all, the rookie trial was also a hot topic. It seemed like today was an open training day.
At this moment, a short-haired man came over and greeted Luther warmly. It seemed that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
Then, Luther introduced Han Zhe to the other person. This person's name was Pierce, and he was the teaching assistant here. Luther had used him to get Han Zhe in.
Luther raised his eyebrows when he saw Han Zhe. Then, he pulled Luther aside and whispered," Damn you, Luther. Why didn't you tell me that the player you introduced was an Asian player?"”
"What does it matter where the player is from?" Luther asked in confusion. As long as he has the ability, it's fine. Basketball is all about ability, not looks. Moreover, he's also a rookie this year. He's qualified to join your training camp!”
Pierce scratched his head and stammered,"That's true, but…" Sigh... I'll give it a try!"
Pierce then walked to an old man with a mediterranean hairstyle not far away. The two of them started to talk. Pierce then turned around and pointed at Han Zhe, then kept talking.
Han Zhe obviously had a bad feeling because he saw the old man frown after looking at him, but Pierce still tried his best to argue.
After the two of them talked for a while, the old man suddenly shouted," Pierce, figure out your own identity. You're just an assistant manager, and I'm the head coach. This is a rookie training camp, not a place where trash gathers. Don't bring all the players here!”
After the old man shouted, the players on the field stopped training and pointed at Han Zhe on the sidelines. They even laughed and discussed something.
The reporter's eyes lit up instantly. He picked up his camera and took a few photos of the two coaches and Han Zhe, whose face had darkened. Although this was not big news, it was still interesting gossip. The reporter did not know who this Asian face was, but he was most likely a rookie. He should know if he checked the information. After all, there were not many Asian faces in every talent show, and often there was none.
“Fuck!”Luther was furious. He cursed at the old man, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to rush over.
At this moment, a hand reached out and grabbed him tightly. Luther was a little surprised when he turned around and saw that it was Han Zhe. The old man had humiliated him so blatantly just now. Even he, as his manager, could not stand it, let alone Han Zhe, a hot-blooded young man.
Han Zhe would be lying if he said that he wasn't angry. This was not only an insult, but also a form of racial discrimination. The other party didn't even look at his strength. He called him trash the moment he saw that he was an Asian. If this wasn't racial discrimination, then what was it?
However, Han Zhe was still rational. It would be even more embarrassing if things got out of hand, and it would be meaningless. However, he would remember today's humiliation and pay it back when he had the chance!
The old man glanced at the two of them in disdain and turned to continue instructing the players to train. He did not want to pay attention to them at all. Then, he shouted to Pearce," Those who are irrelevant, get out. Don't disturb the training of the players.”
Pierce came in front of Luther with a red face. He stammered and couldn't say anything. He was furious. He was Luther's friend. Not only did he fail to do what he promised, but he also humiliated Luther. He felt very ashamed.
Luther patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything. He turned around and left with Han Zhe. He didn't blame Pierce because he saw what happened just now. Pierce tried his best, but he was too powerful. The others didn't give him face at all. The problem was that he was an Asian. Luther didn't say anything about it because he didn't expect it to happen. He was responsible for it, so he didn't blame Pierce.
After the two of them went out, two reporters followed them out to interview them. Luther glared at them and almost hit them. The two reporters quickly ran away. They had watched the entire process and knew that the two of them must be very angry now. If they were hit, they would suffer a huge loss, so they tactfully did not pester them.
"I'm sorry! Han! It's all my fault today. I shouldn't have come here. F * ck! That bastard Collins, don't even think about trading a player from me, and don't even think about trading a player from my friend.”
Luther was obviously angry. He had lost a lot of face today. He could not help but curse after saying that. As for Collins, he was naturally the old man from before, the current head coach of the 76ers.
Han Zhe was about to say that he was fine and that Luther didn't have to blame himself when a voice sounded." Isn't this Luther? My old friend! Who made you so angry?"
Luther looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes standing not far away and greeting him. A group of people were chatting and laughing as they passed by. It seemed that they were all preparing to go to the 76ers 'training center.
