"Why don't we choose that high school student? His potential was not bad! And I heard that he's the cousin of Vincent Carter, which might help us get Carter next year. He was a super genius who could change everything!”
Seeing that the Alliance had given them more and more time to prepare, the other people in the office couldn't hold it in anymore. They didn't know what this old man was thinking.
Finally, when the Alliance's office called again to urge him, Auerback finally spoke.
"The guy who chose UCLA, Linlong!”
Auerbach's words were short and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
"Teacher." Bord couldn't help but frown.
He had read Lin Long's report and trial training. He even talked to Lin Long during the interview.
It wasn't that he had anything against Linlong.
On the contrary, Bord saw the shadow of Lin Long's ability to become the backbone of the league from his physical test results and trial training results. Lin Long's style was tough, his style was solid, and his personality was calm.
As the main rotation, the number one blue-collar worker was definitely not a problem. It was even possible to nurture him and walk in the direction of the next Oakley or Lambier.
However, to choose such a blue-collar player as the sixth pick…
What a waste.
He might as well bet on that high school student with a difficult name.
"Teacher, I don't understand your choice.”
Although the matter was already set in stone, Bord hesitated for a long time before asking his own question.
Auerbach smiled and lit his cigar.
After chasing everyone out of the room, he took out two pieces of paper and said,"Take a look."
Bord took it and glanced at it.""These are Lin Long's physical test reports. One of them is from our trial, and the other is from…Los Angeles?”
Seeing the words 'Los Angeles', Bord couldn't help but look up at this enigmatic teacher.
He even had access to the internal information of the league's number one enemy. At least 80,000 people in Los Angeles wanted to break Auerbach's bones and make soup.
His teacher was indeed the godfather of the NBA.
Bord continued reading and frowned."April 15th…Physical test here: Bench press 170kg 10 times, 100m run 12.5 seconds, May 20th, physical test in Los Angeles: 10 bench presses for 190kg, 11.9 seconds for 100m sprint, damn it.”
Bord couldn't help but curse,""This damned guy didn't use his full strength here?”
Auerbach laughed.”
Auerbach handed over a few more pieces of paper. On them were the data of Lin Long's trials with various NBA teams. The numbers were high and low. If one looked carefully, it was obvious that they were increasing bit by bit as time went by.
This was naturally due to the effect of Steel Body, which allowed Linlong's physical fitness to improve rapidly.
His strength and speed increased so fast that it was impossible for Earthlings to do so.
However, the Celtics, who Lin Long had chosen as his first trial target, had the worst performance in all of Lin Long's trials.
Auerbach said lightly," This kid is from UCLA. He must have dreamed of joining the Los Angeles Clippers. He even hates us. Which Los Angeles person doesn't hate the Celtics?
That's why he deliberately hid his strength from us! He even hid his strength in other teams. In contrast, he did his best to show off in Los Angeles.
Second, my informant told me that Jerry West was looking for draft picks on the edge of the lottery. He wanted to do what he did last year again. Hmph, it was his behavior that caught my attention. I investigated a lot of players, but I didn't find anyone worthy of him looking for draft picks. I found a way to get the reports of all the guys who went to the Laker's trial and found this secret!
Hehe.
The same trick could not be used twice in front of Auerbach!
"I think that Lin Long is very likely to be second only to Duncan among this year's rookies!”
Laribold was shocked.
He was shocked by the cunning and shamelessness of the Los Angeles people, as well as by his mentor's observation of minute thoughts and connections throughout the entire league.
However, Bord still didn't believe that Linlong could be promoted to a position second only to Duncan with just a physical test report.
Auerbach saw Byrd's doubt and took another puff of his cigar."
"Why don't we make a bet, Larry? If this kid shows a superhuman level in the training camp, you'll quit your job at Arizona and stay to help me!”
" But I've already promised them," Bord said awkwardly." And they'll make me the general manager within three years!”
" Are you sure you want to let go of a chance to create a dynasty and an empire?" Auerbach asked. I have to remind you that this may be your only chance to surpass that AIDS patient who only knows how to laugh.”
Auerbach's mouth was really vicious and ruthless. He looked at Lin Long, who was happily taking a photo with Stern on TV, and said with even more satisfaction,""Look, this kid hid his expression so well! He had been selected by his arch-enemy team and all his plans had come to nothing, but he did not show any frustration or disappointment! This was a big heart! Believe me, this is the Larry that can't be trained. I can't wait. I hope the training camp will start soon!”
At this moment, Linlong obviously didn't know that Auerbach was already playing a game of power in his heart.
She didn't know that Auerbach would think so highly of her just because she was so happy.
In fact, even Auerbach himself couldn't explain why he was so optimistic about Linlong with just a few pieces of paper.
Perhaps he had prayed to God a few days ago, hoping that his wish to revive Boston before he died was heard?
That was why he recognized Linlong the moment he saw him!
Auerbach had only felt this way when he first met Lasalle and Byrd.
As for Linlong, he was really happy that he was selected as the sixth pick!
It was still a team that needed to be rebuilt!
Here, he had more space to unleash his strength!
Especially after the sixth pick was selected, the system that had been silent for a few months appeared again. It completed the main mission and obtained the skill-Quick Gun Draw (Silver). The effect was to increase the attack speed by 0.1 seconds.
This skill made Lin Long a little excited. He would not underestimate this 0.1 second. After all, the average shooting speed of the entire NBA was about 0.6 seconds. Even 20 years later, the fastest shooting superstar in the NBA, Stephen Curry, only had a shooting speed of 0.38 seconds. He was already the best in the world.
Now that Lin Long had lost 0.1 seconds, his future shots would be even more unpredictable and impossible to block.
