A One-on-One Duel, A Contract If You Win!
Jiang Lin, who had been hung up, felt his heart pounding. He had only seen this coach in photos. He was a black coach with sunken eyes and looked fierce. This uncle had a tough style when he was a player. His character was as tough as his defense.
However, he was more excited than excited.
Such a hardcore team actually wanted a player like him who played so well!
It was simple and straightforward. The only team that allowed him to go for a trial training first was the Grizzlies, who happened to have no game tomorrow and would be at home the day after tomorrow. Therefore, they were free to come and train him alone. This was the only chance for him.
Without further ado, Jiang Lin immediately booked a red-eye flight for tonight. He was going to Miami overnight. The reason for the red-eye flight was that he didn't have much money in his pocket…
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became as she packed her luggage.
He had neglected this team when he was looking for a team. Now, after watching the replay of the game, he unexpectedly felt that he would be very suitable for this team!!
It was no exaggeration to say that if he had been in the game last night, the Grizzlies would have beaten their opponent, who only had 91 points.
This team's defense was too tough. There were long-handed monsters like McGrady's successor, Rudy Guaye, and Prince Prince, as well as close-range defense monsters like Conley and Tony Allen. The black and white bears, Randolph, and Little Jia, were in the middle. The defensive lineup was so tough that it was explosive!
Especially Tony Allen. He was a pervert, so perverted that Kobe and Durant always said that they thought Tony Allen was the most difficult defensive player to deal with. He was hundreds of times tougher than Beverley, who used his muscles and skills to focus on defense.
The team was full of stars, but there was no absolute offensive core. The highest scoring player, Guy, was only 17.2 points per game. Conley, who had yet to become Mr. 30 Million, only had 5.7 assists per game. The number of shots he made was greater than the number of breakthroughs. The limitations of his height caused his sudden scoring ability to be said to be unqualified for the Western Conference starting lineup.
The other starting players were all around 10 points. Randolph, the black bear who had the advantage in the paint, needed to be fed a cake. He was surrounded many times when he was chiseling in the paint, and Xiao Jia had not developed a three-point skill pack at this time. He was also shrinking in the paint, making it seem that the offense was compressed in the paint.
Tony Allen, a guard who did not hold the ball or shoot, only scored seven points per game. This was the cause of the problem. Just look at the other starting point guards in the Western Conference. Kobe, Martin, Gallinari, Billups, Batum, Terry... The all-rounder, the three-pointer, and the three-pointer. Anyway, they were all good at offense.
All of this required a player who could link them all together, a player who could use his individual ability to bring the offense smoothly.
What would happen if a coach was constipated when they were attacked?？
Wouldn't it be easier to attack if they handed the ball to the best player and let him take care of one in a 1v1?
This was also the reason why Jiang Lin was so excited. Hollings had let him watch a game, which made him understand their players and have the urge to become their teammates.
The Grizzlies 'players had explosive physical fitness. As long as an offensive genius led them to play the conversion, they would definitely fly into the sky.
"This person is me!" Jiang Lin still remembered Tony Allen's foolish behavior of playing a windmill dunk after the whistle, which led to his retirement for the season, but he was indeed a jumping man.
There were also a few other people who were simple-minded. They were the kind of star players that Jiang Lin liked. They immediately had a good impression of the Grizzlies.
"I wonder what kind of trial it will be!”
……
The next day at 2 PM.
The travel-worn Jiang Lin appeared in the Federal Express Center, the home stadium of Murphy, wearing a Dayao No. 13 red national team jersey.
He was not in the mood to admire the beautiful buildings along the way. He could not help but want to prove himself.
The Grizzlies had always been a small city. There were no reporters or fans at the entrance of the stadium, but...
What he didn't expect was that there were so many people in the stadium waiting for him, and it was just for his trial?
There were about 20 people sitting in the first row of the stadium. They had a strong aura, as if they were interviewing for a civil servant?
It was not just the coaching staff led by Lionel Hollings, but also the 13 players on the Grizzlies 'roster.
Randolph, who looked a little cute, and Rudy Guy, who had big eyes, both exclaimed when they saw Jiang Lin.
"Wow, this is the guy who knocked James down!”
" Who is it? Don't you know him?"
"Have you seen the video online? That Asian is him."
"I thought it was Lin."
"No, no, no. He's actually here for a trial. Why did he call us over?”
"I don't know."
"What's so good about a Chinese noob…wasting our time.”Tony Allen hated players who played fancy games the most.
There was also a white-haired old man, Chris Wallace, the " dumbest " general manager in the Grizzlies 'history. Jiang Lin wanted to laugh when he saw him. This old man later sold all the players he had, and basically all the players he had trained were replaced by him. When Gasol signed with the Clippers, he immediately won the championship. When Gasol transferred to the Raptors, he also immediately won the championship... The Grizzlies had yet to win a championship.
Therefore, this elder brother was indeed unlucky, but it had to be said that his foresight had always been good. It was just that his luck was extremely bad.
The last young man in a suit and leather shoes completely attracted Jiang Lin's attention. This was the real owner of the stadium. Robert Pera, the youngest owner in NBA history, who had just bought the Grizzlies for 350 million US dollars this summer, was also here.
"Hello, boss." This made Lin Jiang, who was not nervous at first, a little nervous. This boss was very powerful. He was only 35 years old this year, but he became one of the world's 500 richest people in five years with the help of a small technology software company. He also paid for his dream to become the owner of an NBA team. He was prepared to do a big job at the Grizzlies this year.
"Hello, Jiang. I heard that you came for a trial, so I came to take a look. I like your style of playing.”He stood up with his hands on his hips and sized up Jiang Lin's muscular body. He gestured for the general manager, Chris Wallace, to continue.
"Thank you."
Wallace: " Hello, I'm the general manager of the team, Wallace. Coach Hollings has already communicated with you yesterday, right? We won't waste any more time and will go straight to the trial training. However, the content of our trial training this time is a little special.”
"It's okay. I'm fine with anything." Jiang Lin's confidence made these people look up at him.
However, the players were also puzzled. The trial training was just the same as before. Physical test, shooting, training match... What else could there be? Didn't they call them here to see the effect of this rookie playing in the training match?
At this moment, Wallace's lips curled up slightly.""It's very simple. We'll fight our three strongest defenders one-on-one, win all three games, and give them a contract on the spot.”
" Hiss..." All the players on the field gasped.
Was it that exciting?
"I see." Jiang Lin nodded and felt his blood begin to boil.
The soul of streetball was burning!
