LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 96
Chapter 95 – The Draft Is Officially Held
“Hey brother, I know you, one of the three favorites in this year’s No. 1 pick.”
James, dressed in casual clothes, saw Zhang Jun who had finished the interview in the passage, and came over to say hello.
James and Zhang Jun gave a friendly high-five. Their behavior almost made Diana and Xia He think they were friends they hadn’t seen for many years.
“Congratulations LeBron, I watched your game, you are unbeatable on the court.”
James laughed, and his gestures became more and more friendly.
Sure enough, as rumored, Manager Zhan has friends all over the NBA.
With the way this guy behaves, he is clearly a superstar in the NBA. Zhang Jun is just a rookie who hasn’t played a single NBA game, yet he can look at him so head-to-head, which is obviously different from most black people who look like 250 .
“The next game is going to be against the Spurs, are you ready?”
Zhang Jun couldn’t help but said.
James nodded and said affirmatively: “GDP is reaching its peak. They are a strong opponent, but our strength should not be underestimated. I am ready for my first championship journey.”
After speaking, James motioned to the assistant behind him to bring a pair of his sneakers, signed his name and wrote: Bless you, young competitor.
“Give it to your brother, I wish you the number one prize this year.”
Zhang Jun accepted James’ gift. When the two hugged, he still couldn’t help but remind him: “Be careful of the Spurs leaving you empty on the outside. Their half-block defense and inside defense are very strong.”
James was taken aback. With his basketball IQ, he naturally knew what Zhang Jun said was true, but how did he know that the Spurs were going to let him outside?
This season, James shot 33% from the outside. He is not a blacksmith. Compared with the 29% three-point shooting rate in his rookie season, he has improved significantly. Why would the Spurs dare to shoot their own three-pointers.
Zhang Jun didn’t continue talking, and the fact that he came here through time travel was about to be exposed.
However, don’t say that James’ three-point shooting percentage this season is 33%. Even if his three-point shooting percentage in the future Heat team increases to 37%, everyone knows what James’ personal offensive threat is the greatest.
It should be let go.
…
Zhang Jun returned to start his own personal training.
The teammates started their summer vacation life one by one. Only Michael Roll, Aaron Afflalo, and Mata, who also participated in this year’s draft, met here for training with Zhang Jun.
And of course the new player, Russell Westbrook.
“Hey, brother, why didn’t you come to me when you won the NCAA championship? Didn’t that guy Daly tell you? I want to learn from your breakthrough footsteps.”
Aaron Afflalo couldn’t help laughing as Westbrook was chattering and chattering throughout the morning’s training.
“I really want to know what my teammates are doing next year with you guy.”
Westbrook refused to accept anyone: “I need them to be accepted? I’m here to lead everyone to win the NCAA championship.”
Michael Roll laughed: “Man, I’m not going to clamor for a championship without playing a single NCAA game.”
Westbrook glared and scolded: “Don’t think I don’t know. During the games outside the division, Brother Jun shouted everywhere to win the championship. Coach Alford also shouted the same way. Why can’t I.”
Mata reminded: “If you want to be so proud, it depends on whether you have the strength of Brother Jun.”
Aaron Afflalo agrees: “This guy blows everybody up on his first day, can’t you?”
How could Westbrook’s brash strength stand up to such agitation, and immediately expressed that he would fight Zhang Jun one-on-one.
“Come on bro, we haven’t played single-handedly since the high school league ended, let’s see how good you are now who is the number one pick.”
After seeing James’ savage rampage, Zhang Jun also wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, so he nodded and agreed to the heads-up.
After 21:0, Westbrook left the training hall crying.
“I will be mentally handicapped if I challenge you one-on-one in the future…”
…
June 16.
The NBA Finals officially came to an end. The Spurs easily eliminated the Cavaliers 4:0. James encountered Popovich’s defensive strategy of emptying the perimeter by two meters, which caused James to encounter several double-teams every time he hit the basket.
More importantly, the defensive strategy of the Spurs allows them to be distracted by Cavaliers players other than James every time they defend, which also makes James lose a lot of passing opportunities.
James was beaten badly in his first championship journey. After the game, Duncan took the initiative to find James and give the junior a big hug.
“Man, the future is yours, but the present is mine.”
James wanted to hit someone when he heard this sentence, because it was obviously a sentence of trash talk, but this sentence was spread out for some reason, and the media reporters after the game praised: Duncan’s humility is respectable.
The Spurs won the championship, and Duncan also won face.

June 18.
On the second day after the championship, all kinds of trade news were flying in the league.
First, the management of the Cavaliers announced that they would bring in stronger helpers for James. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com helped him win his first championship in his career, and he could pay any first-round pick for this.
The second is the Boston Celtics, who originally wanted to select one of the three cornerstones of this year’s team. Chips go after an All-Star to pair with Paul Pierce.
Immediately afterwards, the Lakers also announced that they are willing to use all chips except Kobe and their No. 19 pick this year to make an upward trade, and only need the top three picks.
Hawks general manager Billy Knight also announced: “Unless the Lakers trade Kobe, we will never let go of this No. 3 pick easily.”
The other two, the Sonics and the Trail Blazers, who held the No. 2 and No. 1 picks, ignored the Lakers throughout the process.
The Lakers withdrew from the competition for an upward trade early, concentrating on picking up All-Stars in the free market.
Soon, Sonics general manager Sam Presti announced that there were no non-sale items in the Sonics team, except for this year’s second overall pick.
The meaning of the Sonics rebuilding and focusing on developing this year’s rookies is already obvious.
The two All-Star players in the Sonics, Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, immediately attracted the attention of the entire league.
Lakers GM Jimmy Buss and Celtics GM Ainge were the most active.
