Wang Jun felt that raising a pet was a troublesome thing, not only bathing it, but also coaxing it to play.Garfield pesters Wang Jun even more, where people are, he is there, and especially likes to lie on Wang Jun's body or hang on his arm when watching TV.And it only wants to hang Wang Jun's arm, maybe because Theron's arm is too thin and has no muscles, it can't hang it.As soon as he went out, Garfield barked "Woo oh oh", and his voice was strange, sharp and thin, like a dog and a bird.On this day, Wang Jun was about to go out, and he heard Garfield barking again, and said strangely: "Shouldn't the cat meow like that, is it stupid to be with the dog" Theron picked up Garfield, rubbed its head, and said with a smile: "Maybe it'll be better when it grows up." ”"I hope so."
Wang Jun smiled.Anyway, he doesn't plan to take Garfield out in the future, whatever you want to call it.After going to the training hall to practice for a while, Wang Jun heard the doorman speak loudly, as if he was chasing someone.He guessed that maybe a reporter wanted to come to interview, so he took a basketball out to take a look, and saw a strong black man begging the doorman, who was about the same height as him, with thick legs, and looked uncoordinated, and his appearance was somewhat familiar."
What's wrong Mike.""
Wang, he said he wanted to talk to the manager about something, but he didn't make an appointment, so I couldn't let him in."
The doorman Mike replied."
Oh."
Wang Jun immediately lost interest and wanted to go back and continue practicing."
Wang Jun, do you remember me, we played in college, I am Chuck Hayes from Kentucky."
Hayes stopped him excitedly, like an ant in the water grasping at a life-saving straw."
It's you, hello."
No wonder it looks very familiar, Wang Jun immediately remembered.Against Kentucky that year, he relied on props to replenish his physical strength and won the overtime.Playing as a center striker, he was able to resist Carman, which impressed him."
Wang, I want you to do me a little favor.Is it okay to take a little of your time?"
Hayes pleaded.The two had only played a game in college, and they were not friends, and Hayes spoke in such a low voice, obviously because of his illness and desperation."
Mike.I know him.Let him in. ”"Okay."
The doorman didn't care.It's not uncommon for friends to watch players train.He stopped because Hayes said he was looking for a manager, and that wasn't something he could see if he wanted to.Entering the training ground, Wang Jun asked: "What's the matter?"
"The news says that the Bulls just cut Tim Thomas, and there is a vacant position on the inside, and I want to ask for a trial opportunity to see if there is a chance to get a short contract." ”Hayes rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed."
Isn't this supposed to be the agent's responsibility," Hayes was even more embarrassed.With a wry smile: "I don't have an agent." ”"Wang Jun knew about Thomas's layoff.Management wants to swap Thomas out.Free up salary space, even if it is a trade exception, no one wants a second-round pick.This guy was passive and slacking off in training, and he didn't let him start and lose his temper.The management couldn't take it anymore and sent him home and agreed to buy him out so that he could be a free agent and could join other teams.This is what Thomas and his agent wanted.Get part of the buyout fee and enter the contract year, as long as you join a team that is good at brushing data.While he is not too old, he can strive for another big contract before retiring.Thomas doesn't care about honor at all, just money.Hayes doesn't look at money, he just wants to play in the NBA, as long as he becomes an NBA player, even if he only plays for a few seasons, he is satisfied, and with this qualification, it is not difficult to find a job.The current situation is that the scouts look at his physical condition and don't give him a chance to perform at all.Hayes was just asking for a tryout, and it was too miserable.When he was in high school, many colleges offered Hayes scholarships, and he finally chose Kentucky, a prestigious school, where he was an excellent improviser.It's a pity that he hasn't been able to grow a centimeter taller after that, and in the four years of college, he didn't get pretty data as a blue-collar worker.Prior to the 2005 draft, Hayes had also been awarded a V in Portsmouth's training camp, but he was not selected, and his 198-year-old height and 22-year-old "advanced age" became an obstacle to his draft.There are only two kinds of people who are popular in the draft.The first is the combat power, although there is no potential, but immediately can play on the field and play a role.The second is young people with training value, mainly depending on their physical condition.No one believes that 198, the inside line who won't shoot can get a foothold in the NBA.However, Wang Jun trusts what he sees with his eyes rather than data analysis.Just like the bulls, these young people are not very famous, but they fight very well.He was willing to join the Bulls, and he came after meeting in the playoffs and experiencing the strength firsthand."
Chuck, you fight with me for a while, and as long as I think you're strong enough, I'll recommend you to the manager.It's not easy to stay, and even if we cut Thomas, we still have five interior players on the team who can play. ”"I know, but more than defensively, I'm confident I'm better than anyone else except Chandler."
Hayes laughed."
Come on."
The two immediately started fighting.What Hayes can show is defense, he can't score at all under Wang Jun's defense, his skills are too rough, and his shooting is not accurate.It's a pity that against Wang Jun, his defense is not outstanding.His lower game is very stable, and his start is also very fast, and he plays with his back and forcibly squeezes the inside, and the defensive effect is very good.But if the opponent's big man will shoot and hit the frame, Hayes will not be able to do it, he is too short.Hayes will struggle even more if he runs into the outside line of playing skills, after all, he has an inside line weight of 108 kilograms, and his movement speed suffers.Hayes was beaten, Wang Jun turned around, stepped back, jumped, and broke through in tricks, but he couldn't hit with his back, but he no longer relied on his back.Wang Jun found that Hayes's defensive style is very similar to Ben Wallace, but the bounce is not good, the arm span is average, and he can't help defend the block like Big Ben, and he doesn't have Big Ben's fast blocking and dismantling, which belongs to the poor man's version.Back then, Big Ben also participated in the draft and no one wanted it, and no one wanted it to go to Italy to play.Now Big Ben has won three Defensive Player of the Year awards, three All-Star selections, multiple All-Defensive Team All-Defensive Team awards, season rebounding king and block king, and more.The same person is the Heat's Haslem, who has now received a mid-level contract extension and is an important defensive player for the Heat, and he depends on him for blocking and pick-and-rolling.Wang's former teammate Jason Collins is also this defensive blue-collar and has started multiple seasons with the Nets.Hayes was about to have a shadow in his heart when he was cleaned up, and Wang Jun called a halt."
I'm doing this in the team, you defend very well, it's true that except for Chandler, no one else on the inside is better defended than you.""
Then you agreed" Hayes breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was a little sympathetic to the Bulls' inside line, and it must be very unpleasant to practice with Wang Jun like this."
Well, you and I should go to see the manager, we can definitely try out, whether you can seize the opportunity to stay, it depends on your performance.""
Thank you so much."
Hayes feels lucky, even if it's just a marginal player, the Bulls are a playoff powerhouse.And he feels that his style is suitable for the Bulls, the team doesn't need him to do anything on the offensive end, as long as the Bulls give him a base salary, he is satisfied.s:
