Jiang Lin's Choice
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if Lin Jiang participated in this summer's draft joint trial in his current state, he would definitely be confident of being selected in the first round, let alone getting the top pick.
His physical fitness was not low. If he was selected to have an off-the-charts offensive ability, he would be the NBA's favorite rookie with potential.
However, thinking about it, there were still quite a lot of talents in this year's draft. The top scorer, Anthony Davis, was the treasure of the American fans. Behind him, Bill, Waits, Lillard, Baines, Rivers Jr., Fournier, and so on were all ruthless characters. It was no wonder that he was not selected in this year's draft...
However, he now knew that he was definitely not inferior to these people because he would become stronger as long as he trained. At a certain level, there would be a qualitative leap, so the next training was over.
He booked a flight to New York, where the headquarters of the NBA fitness and rehabilitation center was located. His primary goal was to make a training plan for his physique and to understand where he could improve. Now that the season had begun, he did not want to waste any time training useless things.
Then, he would select a few teams to apply for trial training during this period.
No one knew what was going to happen this season. The Spurs, Thunder, Laker, and Clippers in the Western Conference were all competing for the championship, while the Heat in the Eastern Conference were riding the dust. The veteran stars were all rushing for the championship.
The NBA at this time was really interesting, unlike a few years later when everyone knew that the Five-Star Warriors would win. Therefore, Jiang Lin, who was in this era, felt his blood boil just thinking about it.
He also wanted to lead a team and wrestle with these balls!
……
The next day.
A plane landed in Miami, and the unrivaled little emperor, James, got into his car in a set of Nikes.
The Heat's general manager, Riley, was waiting for him in the car. He asked him what he meant during the interview. Did he think Jiang Lin was a good player?？
James, who was full of explosive muscles, took off his sunglasses. He expressed his worries and said that he was very fast. In fact, he felt that he could not defend against this person alone.
Riley refused immediately after listening. He took out the scouting report. They had studied this draft pick. During the trial, the three-pointer and mid-range shot were unstable. It was the degree where the shooting rate plummeted after the intensity was increased. He also expressed Coach Spoo's opinion. This kind of player, if he was slightly targeted and the defender let go, he would break his wings.
Riley had actually given up on the idea of looking for Jiang Lin, but for James, he still had to communicate with James.
The Heat already had three ball carriers. Forget about the guards who didn't have three-pointers.
James nodded in agreement.
"It's bad for us if he leaves the Laker. Just don't let him join a competing team in the Eastern Conference.”
After James and the Laker finished playing, they knew that the Laker was no match for them. The Laker players were all solo players. Even if old Steve Nash returned, he might not be able to connect with them. But if there was a player like Jiang Lin on the bench, it would definitely be a big threat.
"Alright, there are a few teams in the west that want him.”
……
Two days later.
New York.
Before Jiang Lin could take the initiative to contact the team, a call came in, and it came in a string.
The first call was actually from the Mavericks 'president, Brian Cohen. He complained that it was hard to find Jiang Lin's contact information. The Los Angeles team refused to give it to him, so he had to call the China Basketball Association to contact Jiang Lin.
At this time, the Mavericks had yet to change their name to the Lone Ranger. The team that defeated the three giants of the Heat had been torn apart. This season was also in a precarious situation. It seemed that they did not even make it into the playoffs.
Jiang Lin had a good opinion of him. He had always been good to Chinese players. He had given Wang Zhizhi a contract and later wanted to sign Ding Yan Yuhang. It was a great honor for such a president to call him directly.
Then, other than the first sentence, which was nonsense about getting closer to him, he was talking about the main topic. The Mavericks saw his young potential and wanted him to come to Texas.
However, the topic changed. It was a D-League team from the D-League, which was the same as the Los Angeles team. Of course, Cooper didn't know what the Los Angeles team was thinking. He directly said that if Jiang Lin could practice shooting in the D-League, they would definitely give him a contract the next year.
"Aren't you going to try out?" Jiang Lin asked.
" The regular season is still ongoing," said Mark with a smile." Not many teams have time to try out new players. We made the decision based on your videos and scouting reports in the CBA.”
In his opinion, a twenty-year-old Chinese lad would have grown up well after a year of training in the NBA. If he were to play in the NBA the next year, he would definitely be more familiar with the NBA playstyle.
During the internal meeting of the Mavericks, Carlyle carefully studied Jiang Lin's scouting report during the draft. He did not like a guard who did not shoot, so he hoped that he could practice.
Then, Jiang Lin said that he understood and would call him again after making a decision.
"Young man, opportunities are sometimes gone if you miss them.”Ku Ban was stunned for a moment. He had already said it so straightforwardly, but Jiang Lin actually wanted to consider it?
"That's because there might be a better opportunity. Thank you, Mr. Cooper.”
Jiang Lin rubbed his head. No time for trial training? This was a bit of a headache, but it was true that every team was flying around to play football now. Who would arrange a solo trial for a rookie?
But how was he going to show them his skills? The scouting report said that he was weak... As for the CBA video highlights... he didn't even want to watch them.
To be honest, if he was willing to wait for a year, the Mavericks would be very suitable. After the Mavericks were pulled down in the 13th season, they made a comeback in the 14th season. They almost dominated the Spurs and became the only playoffs team to play tiebreaker with the Spurs!
After that, the Rockets, the Clippers, and the Spurs all called. What moved him the most was the conditions the Spurs offered.
"This decision is really hard to make." Jiang Li got on the treadmill, put on his headphones, and thought about the decision that would affect his life!
