Tan Wenbin saw Chen Tao's expression and guessed what Chen Tao was worried about. He immediately said,"Mr. Jackson, can we discuss this?”
Jackson smiled and nodded.
Tan Wenbin quickly pulled Chen Fang and the other two to the side to discuss.
If only the Laker team sent an invitation to Chen Fang, then there was no problem.
The key was that there was still the Clippers, who had sent Chen Fang an invitation to try out before the Clippers.
If he agreed to the team, what would happen to the Clippers? He couldn't refuse.
If the Clippers were to go back on their word at the last minute and miss out on the Clippers, it would be a waste of time.
The three of them discussed, but Chen Fang couldn't interrupt.
In fact, for Chen Fang, it would be best if he could play for the Los Angeles Clippers. If he couldn't, then he could play for the Clippers. After all, he was in the NBA. As long as he could make it in the future, it would be the same no matter which team he was in.
In the end, the three of them decided to give the Clippers a try.
The four of them walked back, and Tan Wenbin told them about their concerns and thoughts.
Jackson frowned slightly. Actually, there was something he didn't have time to say. He wanted Chen Fang to stop going to the Clippers for training so that there wouldn't be any more problems and the Clippers would intercept him.
At the thought of this, Jackson said," Actually, we are very sincere. If we can sign a contract, we can sign it now. However, the main thing is the rules.”
Tan Wenbin still insisted on his own attitude. He could not make a one-sided guarantee that he would sign with the Los Angeles Clippers. As Jackson said, he would make a final decision after July 1st.
During the discussion, Tan Wenbin said that if both the Clippers and the Los Angeles Clippers wanted to sign Chen Fang, they would have to look at the contracts of both teams before making a decision.
Chen Fang had not announced his participation in this year's draft. He could only sign as an overseas free agent. This way, he would not have to sign a fixed salary contract according to the draft order like those draft players. He could completely negotiate.
"Alright then."
Jackson let out a long sigh. He could only regret not discovering Chen Fang first and pray that the Clippers did not like Chen Fang.
After sending Jackson off, Chen Tao excitedly gave Chen Fang a big hug.
When he was in China, Chen Tao only thought that Chen Fang could join Team Su Nan.
He did not expect Chen Fang to reach the top in one step and enter the NBA directly.
"Let's go. Today is a great day. Let's find a hotel and celebrate.”Chen Tao waved his hand and said heroically.
Chen Fang said," Dad, why don't we forget about it? We're going to the Clippers for a trial tomorrow. Let's go to the stadium to train today."”
It was a rare opportunity, and now was not the time to celebrate.
Chen Tao was stunned. He patted Chen Fang's shoulder in relief and said,"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Tan Wenbin and Xu Tong naturally agreed. Now, it seemed that there was a great chance, but until the last moment, no one knew if there would be any changes.
The four of them took a car and headed to the arena.
On the way, Xu Tong's phone suddenly rang. She took it out and looked at it. Her expression changed slightly and she said,"It's Hu Weidong."
With that, he picked up the phone.
Hu Weidong's loud voice came from the phone. After a few simple greetings, he asked,"Old Xu, is it true that the Clippers invited Chen Fang for a trial?”
Xu Tong was stunned. How did Hu Weidong know?
Hu Weidong said," I went to Chen Fang's house and found out that Chen Fang's father had gone to the United States. Then, I went to your school and found out that you and Chen Fang had not returned at all. In the end, it was a player on your team who told me that when you were playing in the United States, a scout from the Clippers had his eyes on Chen Fang and wanted to give him a trial.”
Xu Tong glared at Chen Fang angrily. He immediately guessed that Chen Fang could not help but tell Li Tianshu about this.
Li Tianshu was the same. He was young, but his mouth was open. He probably told countless people.
"There is such a thing. To be honest, I can't believe it."”
Hu Weidong asked," What's the situation now? What did the Clippers say? Can Chen Fang stay in the NBA?"”
Xu Tong shook his head and said," The trial hasn't started yet. It's tomorrow. Besides, who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Of course, it's good if it succeeds. It's normal if it doesn't."”
Hu Weidong sighed. He could tell that Xu Tong did not want to go into detail, so he said,"Alright then. Just like you said, it's best if it succeeds. If it doesn't, we'll work harder. Tell Chen Fang that my door has always been open to him.”
After saying that, he said that international calls were quite expensive and hung up.
" Coach Xu, you did the right thing," Tan Wenbin said." This matter hasn't been completely confirmed yet. There's no rush to announce it to the public."”
For some reason, Chen Fang felt sorry for Hu Weidong. After all, Hu Weidong really valued him and was sincere.
Chen Tao could sense Chen Fang's thoughts. He patted Chen Fang's shoulder and said,""Alright, son, don't think about anything now. Just think about one thing and play well. I said, leave the rest to us.”
After training in the arena for the entire afternoon, Chen Fang returned to the hotel early to rest.
The next day, the Clippers sent someone to pick up Chen Fang for his training.
The trial training location was set at the outskirts of the city.
They arrived at the stadium without a word.
When they entered the stadium, a player had already arrived on the spacious court and was doing warm-up exercises.
He was thin and weak, about the same height as Chen Fang. He was surrounded by a few people to support him. When he got closer, Chen Fang heard their conversation. It did not seem to be in English.
Tan Wenbin did his homework and specifically learned about this year's talent show. He said,"This guy seems to be called Korolev. He's a player from the Kingdom of E. His draft template seems to be Kirilenko. I read that the Clippers like him.”
Chen Fang took a look and started warming up.
The Clippers had invited a total of five players for this concentrated training.
Chen Fang was the only center forward.
The team's manager, Mike Dunleavy, rushed over.
After arriving, Dunleavy took the initiative to walk in front of Chen Fang.
"You must be Chen. I watched the video of your game. You played very well. Livingston and Brunette all said you were very good. Right, I also heard that you smashed the backboard. You're really a powerful guy.”
Dunleavy even touched Chen Fang's arm.
This kind of attention attracted the attention of the remaining four trial players. The key was that they had never seen or even heard of Chen Fang. They had never heard of anyone from the Dragon Country participating in this year's draft.
"Good luck."
Dunleavy patted Chen Fang's shoulder and encouraged him before leaving with a smile.
