Forty-Three. Brother Covers You

What else can I do, I can only choose to work hard! If you fail the trial training, just wait for the summer league!

There are tens of thousands of roads, and we cannot slack off because of a little setback.

Participating more deeply in the NBA world, Sun Ce learned about many other people besides himself as a rookie candidate.

Most of the second-round picks are of immediate combat power. The second-round picks led by Bill Duffy are basically like this. Sun Ce, a player who scored 20+10 in the curtain call, is also regarded as an immediate combat power. These immediate forces are looking for suitable team trial opportunities. Bill Duffy has already started planning for the summer league. Sun Ce also met some of Bill Duffy's G League players.

Looking at those people who have experienced so many setbacks, worked hard for several years but have no chance, and are still working hard to enter the NBA, Sun Ce has no reason to slack off.

Sun Ce didn't want to waste the two-day rest time, so he planned to start training in the afternoon.

I checked the refrigerator, it was empty, I threw away some perishable things when I left for Sacramento, and it looked like nothing was there after I threw it away.

Taking the credit card, Sun Ce was going to the supermarket to buy things for the next two days.

Sun Ce drove to the Phoenix Mills Mall, which is the largest and most affordable large shopping plaza in Phoenix. There are a total of 9 shopping buildings with a construction area of ​​more than 2 million square feet, which is roughly equivalent to 190,000 square meters.

Coming here, Sun Ce felt a bit like returning to a large shopping mall in China.

Things are cheap here, a large bucket of mineral water costs only three dollars, and I bought some vegetables, fruits, eggs, and meat. Sun Ce still plans to order food from the health club, and those people are more professional than him.

Pushing the shopping cart back to the parking lot, Sun Ce drove home.

When leaving the mall and passing the bus stop outside the mall, Sun Ce saw an unexpected person...

"Hey, where are you going? Come up and give you a ride." Sun Ce stopped the car and greeted the person on the platform.

"..." Curry turned his head away, ignoring this guy.

"Hey, little brother, you are still shy, come up quickly, brother will send you off..."

"Go to hell Noah!" Hearing this, Curry immediately became angry, went up to open the car door and sat in, "Go!"

Curry can only sit up, who knows what annoying words this guy will say if the stalemate continues, although he doesn't go out in Phoenix now... But Sun Ce is very famous here! There are fans taking pictures.

"Where are you going?"

“Four Seasons North Phoenix.”

"Huh? That's the hotel that the Suns contracted for the trial rookies, right? Did you also participate in the Suns' trial training? No way, you are a popular player with the top ten picks!"

"What kind of favorite am I? Last year there was a player named DeAndre Jordan. His top five picks fell to the second round..."

Sun Ce heard a kind of loneliness from Curry's tone.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Ce understood that Curry had come to Phoenix for trial training. The Suns only had the 14th pick, so Curry had to come to find a guaranteed pick. The feedback I got was not great.

Curry didn't want to continue discussing his trial training in depth, so he asked Sun Ce: "Hey, how did your trial training go?"

"You, who are sure to make it to the first round, are not happy. How happy do you think I am?" Sun Ce was equally distressed. "I'm ready to play in the summer league and find a job."

When it comes to the draft, the two have a feeling of sympathy.

Although Curry will definitely enter the lottery zone, he is not popular among rookies in the small green house. For a quasi-rookie who aspires to become a top player, of course there will be a sense of gap.

Sun Ce's goal is to enter the NBA, but this is still a difficult dream.

The degree of disappointment they got from the feedback they received in the trial training may vary, but the general mood is the same.

Feeling that the atmosphere had cooled down, Sun Ce looked for a topic and asked, "By the way, isn't it a trial training now? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to buy some snacks. I'm the first one from the Suns to finish the trial. After the trial, they let me go..."

Curry regards the Suns as a guaranteed option, and the Suns only regard Curry as a rare probability pick-up option.

"..." Sun Ce felt that this Curry was completely different from the high-spirited Curry ten years later, and he felt like he had made a mistake in pulling someone into the car.

Even Sun Ce, who is familiar with himself, doesn't know how to continue to create a heated atmosphere.

Curry also felt embarrassed, so he found a topic and asked, "I'm going to the Timberwolves to try out the day after tomorrow, how about you?"

"It's such a coincidence. It seems that we are very destined. I want to go too. Maybe we can become teammates." Sun Ce joked.

Although I remember that the Timberwolves did not choose Curry for the two top six picks, Sun Ce thinks that the Timberwolves are the most likely to pick him, because the Timberwolves don’t know what’s going on, and they will pick a bunch of point guards in the past two or three years, but they didn’t. One picks the right one and always misses the best one.

Just like Bill Duffy attaches great importance to the Timberwolves, other brokerage companies also attach great importance to the Timberwolves. Who made the Timberwolves have four first-round picks this year and a total of six draft picks? Each selected player represents at least a million dollars. The contract, especially the first round, must have a salary of more than one million a year, and it is a guaranteed contract.

The second round won't be too bad. The non-guaranteed contract is a contract anyway, at least it means a chance to enter the NBA.

According to T.N.T's statistics, after the end of the regular season this season, 39 veterans have announced their retirement, plus the departure of some active players who do not want to retire but have declined in strength and cannot stay in the NBA, as well as players who have been abandoned by various teams. There are bound to be 50 to 80 new players joining the NBA next season, and Sun Ce wants to work hard to become one of them.

"On the same team as you?" Curry looked at Sun Ce with disgust, "Forget it, if we are on the same team, I will cover you. If you go to the NBA with your mouth, I'm afraid you will be killed."

"..."

Sun Ce feels that Curry is a bit like a child "King of the Mountain", but what Curry said moved Sun Ce very much.

Sun Ce has not heard this kind of "childish" promise for many years. The last time was when he was in high school in his previous life.

It's very simple, without too many complicated factors, as long as one person is pleasing to the eye, although it is easy to bicker, the other party will be the first to stand up when something happens.

However, as the relationship got closer, Sun Ce couldn't stop talking: "Stephen, it's better for my brother to protect you. I might be stronger in fighting..."

Curry was still fantasizing about how he would bully Sun Ce after he became the boss. When he heard Sun Ce's words, he was furious: "Get out! Let me get off, I want to get off! I don't want to be in the same space as you!"
