Chapter Thirty-Three: Exciting Moments
Manuginobili was stolen by a college student three times in a row without much confrontation? This is Chi LL's humiliation!
"In college, he was called Ghost Hand Ginger." Uduka proudly introduced to Messina and others.
"When is the nickname..." Borrego was going crazy. Will such a player be misleading? Damn this Chinese was hiding himself last year?
A clean steal of an NBA guard twice in a round? This can't be done in the game!
Jiang Yuntao defended 3 rounds and successfully defended 2 times, and had already met Popovich's requirements! In other words, the trial training has actually been passed!
Jiang Yuntao didn't even react and was ready to continue giving the ball to Manu.
Manu has begun to doubt his life. He suspects that he is really old and he is too smart. The Argentine knows that these two goals were destroyed by the Chinese in front of him with different steals, which means that the opponent really has something to do. It doesn't mean that he only knows one way to steal, so Manu will definitely pay attention.
"You won." Sure enough, the bald man was the smartest, and Manu was the first to react to the rules on the field and signaled Jiang Yuntao not to give him the ball. He had already finished the trial.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Yuntao's mind: "Finish...complete..."
"What?"
"Don't bother me, it's a critical moment!" Jiang Yuntao didn't have the heart to care about the system's voice now. This guy suddenly said a few words as if he was in a state of snoring, but then he lost his voice.
After Manu said this, the huge stadium was quiet and the players unconsciously glanced at Popovich.
Everyone knows that Popovich is a person who is a person who is a person who never repents or something. Sometimes he is a stubborn person in the elderly, and sometimes he is decisive. He has tried so much after he said it before, so if he has tried it...
It is very likely that I will sign a contract with this college student directly!
If this news spreads to the outside world, wouldn’t it be a big deal?
Even the assistants were confused. They didn't expect that the trial would be passed like this. In such a pretentious way, they were like Uncle Drew, with a huge contrast.
Jiang Yuntao was standing at a loss in the center of the venue, not daring to move, it was a little difficult to breathe, and tears were almost coming out, which was an uncontrollable excitement!
Because looking at Popovich's expression, I really agree with it?
"Congratulations, young man, you passed the trial. Come to my office, RC, Messina, you guys will come too." Popovich nodded to Jiang Yuntao, who was shaking slightly, waved to RC, and walked towards the office first.
"Okay!!!" Jiang Yuntao blurted out in Chinese, and followed Popovich with his back straight.
Parker's mouth was relatively straight and muttered in a low voice: "Is he going to sign a contract?"
Jiang Yuntao, who happened to pass by Parker, opened his pupils wide and tried hard not to let tears flow down. Really, are you really going to sign a contract with an NBA team?
He felt that his body was a little dazed. When he was about to reach this point, everything was too unreal! It was so dreamy.
After Jiang Yuntao entered the office, Manu pulled Danny Green and scored another 5 goals in one go, scoring 4 goals. Danny Green was a member of the second team in the 2016-2017 season.
"This person is not simple, the team will not lay off people, right?" Danny Green whispered to communicate with Manu.
"Okay, the team's roster should be full." Manu felt that this was a good thing. Now the Spurs are in a stagnant pool. It's time to change, and they don't break or stand up! The Spurs like to do such unexpected things. Even if they sign a rookie in the free market at the end of the season, it doesn't matter...
While the players were talking, Popovich's head was poked out in the office: "Hey, you continue to train! The whole game is practicing hammer tactics with 5V5, check it now!"
"Received!" Parker stood up first.
...
Inside the office, several Spurs executives are working.
Jiang Yuntao sat at the end of the round table, which was equivalent to a small conference room. After scolding the players, Popovich pulled RC and stood and chatted for a while. Jiang Yuntao did not dare to play with his phone, nor did he dare to tell his parents good news in advance. He just sat upright and waited for the result.
Soon, the discussion between the Spurs executives and the coaching staff ended, and they left the office with the assistant coaches, leaving only RC, Popovich and Jiang Yuntao.
"Jiang Yuntao, Chinese, right? He has a pretty good personality." What Jiang Yuntao didn't expect was that Popovich in the office no longer held his face, but sat next to him, talking to him approachably as an elder.
"Yes, he has no bad record in college, he is a good boy." RC Buford also quipped.
Jiang Yuntao quickly shook his hand: "No, no, no, no, I have to fail every class. If I don't go to class, I'm a thorn."
"It looks a bit Spurs." Popovich took out a document from his hand.
"I really want to join the Spurs, and I also want to play under your hands." Jiang Yuntao suppressed his excitement and said rigorously.
In fact, I was almost crying. Almost the whole world did not believe in himself in the past two years. But now, he actually sat opposite Popovich and was about to sign a contract with an NBA team. This was not a dream, but fortunately he believed in himself.
"Young man, stop acting. Tell me why you really play basketball. Who likes to play basketball for me, a stinky old man." Popovich was joking by Jiang Yuntao. He is an old fry. From Jiang Yuntao's expression and movement, you can tell that he doesn't really know the Spurs very well, and his idol seems to be Kobe.
"Well, well, actually, the original purpose of my coming to the United States to play basketball was to give our country a breath of breath. I wanted to become one of the best guards in China and even the world, so I came to the United States, so I wanted to go to the NBA to get professional training. As long as I can improve, I will do my best! Basketball is something I can really pursue for a lifetime for me."
"Not for money?"
"Uh... it seems that my parents' money is enough?"
"You definitely don't have a girlfriend." RC's words made the three of them happy, and the contract negotiations became happy.
With the previous discussion, Buford and Popovich were almost certain that Jiang Yuntao was the kind of dream player, not like a black rookie who bought a house to support his family. So if such a player is given the opportunity to play in the team, he will definitely be able to sign, which is much simpler.
Many people in the United States play basketball just to get rich overnight in the NBA, and very few people make it for their basketball dreams. But those who really become super giants are those who love basketball, such as Manu Ginobili, Kobe, and Jordan.
