The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 264 Inside the Training Camp
In the King's training hall, a fierce game is going on at this time, but there is no Kings player on the field.

Jerami Grant desperately snatched an offensive rebound from the crowd, then made a hard layup, completed the second attack and scored the ball!
"Nice!"

The teammates on the bench applauded for his tough performance.

The Thunder held this year's rookie training camp today.

This year's rookie, as early as last year, was called a once-in-a-decade draft year.

So far it seems to be the case!

There are three stars with the potential to be the No. [-] pick alone. They are: Andrew Wiggins, who is physically strong and is known as the next James; Jabari Parker, who is the most powerful and known as the next Anthony; , Joel Embiid, known as the next Olajuwon.

In addition, there are talented players such as Exum, Gordon, Smart, Randall, etc., so they were expected by the media and fans as early as last year.

It is precisely because of this that when the Thunder traded Li Pu, they insisted on this year's first-round pick instead of last year's No. 7 pick.

But who would have thought that the Kings' performance this year would be so good that it would have been a first-round pick in the top ten picks in the draft, and it would directly drop to the 27th pick in the first round.

Forget it, thanks to Presti crying to death.

Because of this, in this year's draft year, the Kings didn't have a single first-round pick, only two second-round picks.

Fortunately, these two draft picks belong to the Bucks and the Pistons respectively, which leads to the relatively high ranking of the two second-round picks, which are No. 31 and No. 38 respectively.

Therefore, the training camp of the Kings itself is very tasteless, and it is difficult to attract those famous new stars. Only some leftovers who are expected to be picked at the end of the first round, second round, and undrafted will come back to participate.

Among them, Jerami Grant is one of them.

As the nephew of the famous star "Cobra" Horace Grant, Jerami is an out-and-out second-generation star. His father is also an NBA player. However, this is not useless. The media and the team are still not optimistic about him. !

Apart from good physical fitness, he is almost useless in other aspects, and even his height is not very attractive because of his dubious attributes.

Originally, as a Portlander, Grant didn't come to the Kings, but who made Grant a fan of Li Pu?

"What are you working so hard for? Do you still want to stay in the Kings?"

After the game was over, everyone sat on the sidelines to rest, and a player with a slightly yellow complexion and soft features came to Grant's side.

Jerami glanced at the other party and immediately recognized the other party's identity. His name was Kyle Anderson. He was selected to the third team of the NCAA Ugly Association's best team this season, and his predicted pick was similar to his own.

That's right, the person in front of me is the time-space lord · human creeping essence · sledgehammer who later changed his name to Li Kaier and has one-eighth of Chinese blood.

"Don't you want to?"

Li Kaier shook his head and said firmly, "I don't want to!"

"Why?" Jerami was puzzled.

"This king's team has suddenly become so strong, do you think you still have time to play?"

"This……"

I have to say that what Li Kaier said is indeed the truth. Who would have thought that this Kings team would become so strong?

Moreover, the lineup is so young, and the young players of his own team can't be trained. How can there be a chance to train new players?
Jeremy was silent for a while, but at this moment, another person came over.

"Don't listen to that kid talking nonsense, he really wants to join the king!"

Jerami looked back to see University of Colorado star Spencer Dinwiddie.

This guy is much more famous than the two of them. If he hadn't been injured too badly last year, which lowered his pick, he would definitely have a chance to be in the lottery.

"Hey, Spencer, don't talk nonsense!" Li Ke immediately retorted.

"I heard him call last night, saying that he and Prince have a common Chinese blood, and that when he entered the king, someone would cover him..."

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I say such a thing?" Li Kai suddenly blushed.

Such disgusting words made Jerami laugh several times, but he didn't doubt the truth of the words.

If this is fake, why don't you blush with a bubble teapot?

After some frolic, the three sat on the sidelines and inevitably chatted about their prospects for this season's playoffs.

"The championship Spurs, their performance this year is very strong!" Li Kaier first expressed his opinion.

"The Spurs are strong, but the Thunder are born to defeat him. They can't match the talent of the Thunder!" Grant immediately objected.

"I think the Heat also have a chance. After all, the Thunder's internal strength has declined, especially the internal defense, which makes James much easier to play!" Dinwiddie also put forward a new proposal.

The opinions of the three of them are completely inconsistent, which shows the chaotic situation of this year's playoffs.

Of course, the three teams currently considered to be the first echelon of championship teams are the Heat, Spurs and Thunder.

Also in the second echelon are the Clippers, Pacers and Rockets.

On the contrary, the Kings, who ranked third in the West, were placed in the third echelon.

No way, no wonder the media is not optimistic about the king.

At present, most of the players on the Kings team are young players, and there are only a few people with playoff experience, Li Pu, Butler, and Bledsoe.

Among them, Li Pu was the only one who really played a role in the playoffs!
Don't underestimate the playoff experience. The playoffs and the regular season are completely different games. If you don't have playoff experience, it will be difficult to adapt on the court. It is good to play 50% of your ability!
This is also the reason why everyone collectively looks down on the king.

Even when the ranking came out, the Warriors fans almost cheered collectively, feeling that they had won the lottery!

Compared with several other opponents, isn't the king just that soft persimmon?
"By the way, do you think this year's MVP will be Prince?"

Jerami is undoubtedly a diehard fan of Li Pu, and he talked about his idol during the chat.

"Of course!"

"I think if it wasn't for him, the selection agency would be too shady!"

Jerami thought this would be a heated topic. After all, he often played against people on the Internet, but he didn't expect these two players who were obviously not fans of Li Pu to agree that Li Pu was the MVP!

There is actually a surprise!

"You really think so?" Jerami was overjoyed.

"Of course, who else could it be?"

"That's right, no matter the record or statistics, only Prince is suitable. I really didn't expect him to be able to play so well. Back then, I thought his FMVP was a mess!"

While the three were chatting, the assistant coach of the Kings started shouting again.

"Have you had enough rest? Let's proceed to the next test!"
