Give Face

This kind of training camp held before the NBA draft is a great opportunity for many players who are considered not "big names" to show their talents.

Being able to participate in this kind of training camp is a novel experience for Chen Feng. Just like his first time driving the Kenworth truck, it always feels a little fresh.

And the feeling of returning to New York from Las Vegas also made him miss the more than a month here and the old liar-like Hammond.

But the training camp matter was very urgent, which also delayed him from taking time to go back to the bar for a walk.

Although Hammond has never participated in such a training camp, he still told Chen Feng, "This is the only way for you to choose to enter professional basketball. Boy, you can walk beautifully, don't let me down."

As for Jim, the owner of the bar, he felt very excited after hearing the news, and even joked with Chen Feng, "Hey, Chen, if you can go on TV, remember to promote my bar! If I get rich, I will definitely give you a free order for your drink in the future!"

Not to mention guys like the Black Boy Williams. If Hammond hadn't stopped him, maybe they would have come to the training camp to find Chen Feng long ago.

"Chan, if you can enter the NBA, I think the guys in Brooklyn must have a very wonderful expression on their faces. For this goal, you must also succeed. We believe you can!"

New York is not a strange city, it has only been more than a month of life. It is not Chen Feng's home court. It can only relieve his current mood, which is always good news.

As for the blessings of those guys, Chen Feng still won’t think about it for the time being, after all, the matter is not yet finalized.

In fact, most of the training camps are full of marginal people. In addition to the players from NCAA, there are also overseas players who come to try the waters, and there are also many potential stocks who think they are qualified to play NBA.

Of course, whether it is a potential stock will be determined by the head coaches, general managers and scouts.

NBA has a total of 30 teams, and in two rounds of draft picks, only 60 people were lucky enough to enter the best basketball league in the world.

Most of the thirty people in the first round were guys who made a name for themselves in NCAA, or excellent players in Europe or other continents. Many of them have even achieved success.

It’s just that the NBA’s appeal is too strong, and it can attract outstanding players to flock to it.

Every year, there are a large number of so-called stars of hope trying to squeeze in, but very few can succeed.

The rules of the training camp are not as complicated as Chen Feng imagined, and most of the tests here are very simple.

There are not even those majors in Las Vegas, at least that's how Chen Feng feels.

"The resources here are limited. Do you think NBA will focus most of its energy on the marginal people here? In addition, I would like to remind you that Ryan and others are obviously more professional than these people."

Looking at Chen Feng's expression at this moment, Takanian could guess the kid's psychological activities.

"Old man, I didn't say anything. I just felt that the attitude of these guys didn't want to be selecting players for the NBA team, especially their eyes, just like looking at a group of poor people who are destined to be eliminated, which made me a little unhappy."

Chen Feng didn't tell anything with the old man. After all, Tacanian guessed correctly. He was very unhappy with the attitude of the testers, and there were some of the scouts who were wandering around the training camp to shoot.

"There is no way. There are at least two or three hundred players who want to enter this training camp. This does not include those who will definitely enter the first round. There may be only ten places left for you, or fewer. Most of the people here will be abandoned. This is a fact."

No matter how unhappy it is, Chen Feng understood that what Takanian said was the truth. Although this sounds a bit cruel, the one who appears most in the training camp is not the lucky ones, but a group of eliminated people.

"I don't know how many people's interest my data can arouse." Looking at the group of players in front of me who were trying to squeeze into the NBA, Chen Feng really didn't know if his tests were effective.

"Your data is not for those guys to examine. Those who need you have already got a copy of it. Whether you will invite you to do further tests depends on luck."

Tacanian once said that more than a month of running around is not in vain. If he doesn’t even have such a little face, then he will have been in vain for decades.

But even he didn't know how much influence those data and video tapes could have.

With such an old guy by his side, Chen Feng always feels lucky, at least much better than these people who are eager to wait for others to choose.

Although there are more opportunities than others, Takanian knew that this was not in NCAA, and he could not call the wind and rain, so all that was left was waiting.

As for those confrontations, Takanian has no intention of letting Chen Feng test the waters for the time being.

According to the old man, there are too many young boys here who want to break into the NBA. At this time, they are more like gamblers with red eyes. When they start, they are very fierce.

Although Chen Feng doesn't care about such a level of confrontation, Tacanian doesn't want to take a chance.

At least before those old relationships responded, he didn't want Chen Feng to fight with others rashly.

But just like Takanian estimated in advance, he was not sure. After all, this is NBA, and some friends and relationships will not become the bargaining weight to determine Chen Feng's future.

Only three people responded to the eight documents submitted, while the other five companies all politely refused.

"Listen to an old friend, it only takes ten minutes to change your opinion. I promise this will not be an investigation that disappoints you. He is the kind of player you want to sign after a glance."

"I really won't let you down, I promise. Oh...well... Old friend, maybe your team's new head coach has his own considerations in choosing a player... Then... won't bother. If there is a chance, we will see you in Las Vegas."

Although Takanian was not loud in the bedroom, Chen Feng's ears have always been very aware.

"The fifth call is all rejected." Chen Feng silently calculated how many calls Tacanian had received in the past two days.

He knew that the road to entering NBA would not be too smooth, but what he didn't expect was that the old man was so hard-working and running around, but the result did not look very good.

Chen Feng felt that being rejected was no big deal. He could go back to the training camp to compete with those people and see who was stronger.

But he didn't want to see the old man in the bedroom, the depression hidden between his eyebrows.

There is really no need to lower your posture for yourself. Chen Feng really wants to go over and talk to the old man.

But after a brief thought, he still did not move.

All of this was the old man's decision, and he could only expect the next call to be good news.

God, that old guy always likes to watch those scenes of others despairing, but suddenly lets you see the light of dawn.

The two subsequent calls were good news, one of which was an invitation from a scout who lived in the same hotel.

But Chen Feng's eyelids jumped a little uncontrollably.

"Jerry, if it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have made a trip."

This sentence sounds a little harsh.

Face? Can you ignore such a living person standing here?

Sometimes face is given, but most of the time it is earned by oneself.

Chen Feng really wants to yell at these guys, open your dog's eyes and take a good look at the man!

Give face? I hope you don’t regret saying this.

"That's NBA, you have to adapt to everything here, including those guys looking at your eyes."

Takanian, who received three invitations, could only explain to Chen Feng in this way.

Because the old man knew that the boy in front of him had the same strong self-esteem as he did and could not tolerate the contempt of others.

But this is the NBA draft, and only at this time, players are the humblest existence.

Scouts, general managers, head coaches, and even assistant coaches can point fingers at them and make a point of contentment.

When these rookies entered the NBA, especially after becoming a wrist, they could be old men most of the time, while scouts and assistant coaches were only considered ordinary roles.

You should know that in NBA, fans are watching the players' performances, not the coach's roar on the sidelines.

In order to fire the coaches for players, this has long been a popular trend in the NBA.

After all, the former can bring box office and jersey sales, which is a lot of dollars.

And the coach, even if he is a famous coach, will definitely not benefit from wrestling with the players.

It’s just that before these players become famous, they all need to go through this, no matter whether you feel happy or not.

Because, you are not a wrist or a superstar yet.

Just like an old fry like Tacanian, it is not always possible when recommending players.

The more you use human feelings, the thinner it becomes. The role that an old coach of NCAA can play in NBA is really hard to say.

But this kind of experience is really a bit annoyed for Tarcanian.

But in front of Chen Feng, he could only maintain a calm attitude, at least he could not let this wild boy have any rebellious emotions.

Although he received three invitations to try it out, this does not mean that Chen Feng has successfully obtained the ticket to the NBA.

Especially after the first trial test.

The other party's assistant coach took the data, just glanced slightly, and then spoke.

"He has good physical condition, but this only means he has good potential. He has never played college basketball and has never participated in official high school games. The main reason is that he is not as tall as he has a stronger strength and his jumping power is OK. I think the team may need to consider it again."

Such an evaluation is simple, straightforward and has no concealment, although the other party said it needs to be considered.

But the subtext here is basically telling Jerry and Chen Feng that this family is no longer available.

The same is true for the trial training of the second team. It took less than half an hour and everything ended.
