"Pa ~"
He turned his head and dug it out.
"Pa ~"
He dug it out from the front.
"Pa ~"
It was directly blocked!
..........
In the next few minutes, Chapman finally understood why he had such an ominous feeling.
Every time he attacked with the ball, he would be attacked by Chen Hao's aggressive defense. He would be intercepted again and again, and he would be bumped into again and again. He would see Chen Hao's burning eyes looking at him as if he was looking at Mi Yuan. Chapman felt a toothache and felt weak in his heart.
On the defensive side, Chen Hao was extremely desperate. On the offensive side, Chen Hao was extremely outstanding. He seized the limited time to fully display his technical characteristics and completely convinced the other trainees around him.
They were not on the same level!
It also strengthened Hoffman's idea of keeping Chen Hao on the team. This was a piece of unpolished jade worth polishing.
At the age of 21, there was still room for improvement and strengthening!
In comparison, the point guard, Smash Parker, who the team had just signed not long ago, was much inferior. His only advantage might be his game experience.
The inspection was almost over. It would depend on whether Chen Hao could integrate into the tactical system of the Los Angeles team.
After seeing Chen Hao's performance and then looking at the others, Hoffman's interest waned. He immediately indicated to the staff at the side to call a halt to the match. He then walked to the two competitors standing near the center circle. After looking around at the crowd, he fixed his gaze on Chen Hao and smiled.
"Hao, welcome to the great Laker!”
"Your choice is very wise." Chen Hao replied confidently.
He didn't seem too excited. There was a smile in his eyes. Coupled with his handsome face, which was very in line with the aesthetic standards of Westerners, people couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
Hoffman nodded to himself. He felt that Chen Hao's current demeanor and looks were very compatible with the Laker team.
Then, he looked at the other trainees who were looking at him expectantly.
"As for everyone, I'm very sorry ~"
Hearing this, the others lowered their heads in disappointment. However, competitive sports were cruel.
The strong were above, and the weak were below.
Although he was a little unique, Chen Hao's strength was indeed stronger than theirs. It could be said that it was reasonable for him to be selected. Everyone expressed their admiration.
Since they weren't selected, they didn't have the right to stay in the stadium anymore. They all looked at Chen Hao enviously and left one after another. This guy who they looked down on not long ago was about to become a millionaire.
" Hao, which team did you play for before? Why don't I remember you at all?"
Hoffman walked up to him with a look of confidence.
"It's good that you don't have any impression of it ~"
Chen Hao complained in his heart and replied truthfully,"“UCLA~”
"Where?" Hoffman was confused and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Seeing this, Chen Hao scratched his nose and said again,"" The UCLA Brown Bears."
"You're an NCAA player?”
Hearing this, Hoffman finally reacted.
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course there's a problem. Why didn't you join the Alliance through the draft? With your ability, a first-round pick shouldn't be a problem.”
It was no wonder Hoffman had such a big reaction. There were too many benefits involved.
Chen Hao, who understood what he meant, waved his hand indifferently.""Money doesn't matter. I'm not short of money. Right now, I just want to enter a higher platform to engage in basketball. I just want to bring my talent to the NBA ~"
"You…"
Looking at Chen Hao's serious expression, Hoffman did not know how to respond for a moment. Furthermore, for some reason, he felt that these words sounded familiar, but he could not remember them no matter how hard he tried. In the end, he could only give Chen Hao a thumbs up.
"You're amazing ~"
"It's alright ~ It's alright ~" Chen Hao smiled.
" I'm not complimenting you!"
Chen Hao was speechless.
After knowing that Chen Hao was not acting on impulse, Hoffman did not ask much. In any case, with Chen Hao's current situation, he did not violate the relevant regulations. Of course, he could join the NBA as a non-draft free agent, but he would lose a lot of money during the signing process.
However, when Hoffman saw Chen Hao's expression that said he did not lack money, he knew that he did not need to think too much about it.
After that, things were very simple. Because he didn't have a manager, Chen Hao could only negotiate the contract himself.
He was just a second-year student with no reputation, and he had not joined the team through the draft. Even if Hoffman was very optimistic about him, the person in charge of signing the contract with the Los Angeles Clippers could not give him too much treatment. Chen Hao insisted on signing him for only one year.
In the end, Chen Hao signed a guaranteed contract for 450,000 dollars a year and officially became a member of the Laker.
The salary was currently ranked third in the current team, the bottom.
This surprised Chen Hao. There was actually someone who was treated worse than him. Did he have to be so miserable?
Chen Hao walked out of the office with the contract and did not see Hoffman again. He did not mind and walked calmly towards the exit of the arena. He still needed to go to the school to settle his suspension and withdrawal from the team.
In the future, he would no longer need to practice in the school's arena. He could practice in the special training arena for the Laker.
It wasn't that he couldn't use the school's facilities anymore, but with more luxurious equipment, Chen Hao suddenly looked down on the old UCLA arena.
"Sigh, I'm indeed a scumbag who gets attracted to women ~"
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Hao had just arrived at the entrance of the arena when he saw a familiar face walking toward him. He could not help but raise his hand and greet,"
"Hi, Smash. We're teammates from now on ~"
Not far ahead, the person walking towards them with his hands in his pockets and a cool expression was none other than Smash Parker, whom they had fought before.
Seeing Chen Hao appear in front of him, Parker looked as if he had seen a ghost. Recalling what he had just heard, he felt terrible. He said in disbelief,"
"You... You joined the Laker?"
"Don't doubt it. We're already teammates, so there's no need to be so excited. We'll have plenty of time to interact in the future. I still have something to deal with today, so I won't disturb you anymore. See you later. I think the two of us will become very good friends ~"
Patting Parker on the shoulder, Chen Hao walked away with a smile, leaving behind a shocked Parker who watched him leave in a daze until his figure completely disappeared from his sight. Only then did he finally come back to his senses.
"I'm actually going to be teammates with this brat in the future?!”
Parker acknowledged Chen Hao's basketball skills, but his style...
Recalling the scene of Chen Hao's wanton fouls on the field, Parker's mouth twitched a few times. Connecting that with what he had just heard, he suddenly had the thought of breaking his contract and leaving the Los Angeles Clippers.
A very good friend?
Dogsh * t!
Chen Hao didn't know what Parker was thinking at the moment. He had stood by the roadside for more than ten minutes before he could hail a taxi. He had decided to buy a car. He couldn't possibly take a taxi to the stadium every time. That would be too embarrassing.
"Not only the car, but the house also needs to be changed.”
Since he had joined the Los Angeles Clippers, Hao Chen could no longer live in the university dormitory. He had to rent a house outside. However, this was not a problem for him. After all, he did not lack money. No matter what, he could not mistreat himself.
With this thought in mind, Chen Hao returned to the school. He didn't go to the dormitory but went straight to the basketball court.
According to the news that I revealed over the phone yesterday, the team will gather for the first time today and officially prepare for the new season.
He entered the stadium without changing his clothes. He went straight to the court and met his teammates.
Yes, they were already ex-teammates.
As soon as Chen Hao appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Yo, our Mr. NBA is here!”
"He's really arrogant. He's actually the last to arrive, and he only appeared after the gathering event. He's indeed our team's Mr. NBA.”
"Hahaha, you guys are so funny. He wants to enter the NBA? This joke isn't funny at all. Don't believe Beard.”
" It's been three days since we last met, so we should look at Hao in a new light. Hao is different now. He may not be able to enter the NBA yet, but his strength has improved a lot since last season. The coach has admitted this before. He even promised to give Hao a starting position in the new season and guarantee him playing time.”
"Beard, it's time to wake up."
"You guys!"
Chen Hao did not feel angry when he heard these sarcastic words. He looked around at the faces of those who spoke sarcastically and felt that they were very childish and pitiful. He immediately raised the contract in his hand and smiled.
"I'm sorry to disappoint everyone. I was lucky enough to pass the trial. From today onwards, I'm already a player of the Laker team, so I won't be able to accompany you to the NCAA in the new season. However, with your ability, even without me, you should be able to achieve a good record.”
"You…"
"Are you kidding me? You only took a few pieces of waste paper. Don't think that we will believe your scam!”
"Yes, it's just waste paper!"
“......”
Ignoring these people with red eyes and serious illnesses, Chen Hao looked at the eyeball hall and did not see the coach. He immediately asked Beard, who was walking in front of him,""Where are the coaches?"
"He should be in the office ~"
"Hao, did you really pass the trial?" Beard whispered.”
" Of course, why would I lie to you?"
As he spoke, he handed the contract over.
Beard took the contract and scanned through it roughly. He was instantly stunned on the spot.
"Is it a scam that we exposed and you're too ashamed to face it?”
A few of the school team members who had mocked him earlier walked forward and looked at the contract in Beard's hand. When they saw the seal and the relevant contents, they were all stunned on the spot.
How was this possible?
How could the guy who could only wave a towel by the water dispenser last season and play less than half an hour in a season pass the trial of the Los Angeles Clippers?!
However, the truth was right in front of them, and they couldn't refute it. Their faces were burning, and they felt like they had taken the initiative to get their faces slapped by Chen Hao. Their actions just now were really childish. They had lost all their face.
It was also at this moment that Jordan Farmer, who had been introduced to everyone by the coach during today's gathering and was vaguely established as the core, finally stopped looking around. He walked forward and looked at the contract in Beard's hand.
Unlike the others on the team, Farmer came from a wealthy family. His father was a basketball player, and his godfather was a superstar in the baseball world. His knowledge was not something these nobodies could compare to. After looking at it for a while, he knew that the contract was real. His gaze suddenly became a little complicated.
And scorching heat.
Without hesitation, Jordan Farmer said,""Hao, can you play a few balls with me? I want to see the difference between myself and an NBA player.”
