"What do you mean? Why did you invite me to the Little Green Room?" In the training hall, Li Hao met his agent Holtz again.
Today Holtz came to tell Li Hao that he was invited to the Little Green Room. As the draft approaches, the list of the Little Green Room is gradually coming out. Before Holtz came, LaVine had already received an invitation to the Little Green Room. .
"Great, we can go to the Little Green Room together." After hearing the news, Raven was very happy for Li Hao.
"Hey~~~Zach, do you think it's possible for me to enter the lottery?" Li Hao was very confident, but he didn't think he could enter the lottery. Let alone the lottery, he couldn't even enter the first round.
"I think it's okay." Zach knew Li Hao's strength, especially after Grover's training during this period, his strength has improved greatly.
"Wait a minute, they won't drag me to join in the fun, just increase traffic." Li Hao suddenly realized the truth.
Although Yao Ming has retired for a few years, his effect still exists in the NBA. Even the Rockets are still enjoying Yao Ming's dividends. This is why Li Muhao has attracted the attention of more than 20 teams.
It's not shabby to make money, not to mention that the NBA is originally a commercial league, and those owners who buy teams just want to make money from it.
Li Hao's performance in the joint trial training was not bad, and all aspects of data ranked among the best. If the 5V5 competition had not been canceled this year, Li Hao's performance would have been even better.
But even if there is no 5V5 matchup, the respective teams can still learn something from the two NCAA games that Li Hao participated in. In the Elite Eight, Li Hao passed open balls to his teammates several times, and even had two The second is passing the ball without looking at people.
Then there is the team trial after the joint trial. Li Hao's performance is still remarkable, and Li Hao's later team is not as hard to hide as the Lakers, so some teams want to get the video of the trial It wasn't difficult. If nothing else, the Rockets got a video of Li Hao's trial training.
The NCAA defeated the savior, ranked top in the joint trials, and performed well in the team trials. Coupled with Yao Ming's compatriot status and his identity as a Chinese, Li Hao's popularity is much higher than he thought.
There was originally a Chinese player who could share the popularity of Li Hao. During the previous joint trial training, the Chinese media was not very enthusiastic about Li Hao. This is understandable. He has a good foundation and a player who came out of the system, and Li Hao. The way to farm is different.
"It's possible, especially recently there are media predictions that you can enter the first round." Li Hao has been training during this period. Even with Kobe's permission, this guy went straight to the training hall and slept. During this time, the outside world Li Hao basically didn't pay attention to what happened.
"Is this impossible?" Li Hao looked in disbelief.
"Li, are you too unsure of yourself?" Raven couldn't help but said.
"No, if I can play more games in the NCAA, I can definitely enter the first round," Li Hao said.
"It's very possible that someone wants to muddy the water." As someone who has worked at NBA headquarters, worked in an agency, and even reached the executive level, Holtz knows the twists and turns in the draft.
The draft itself is a game between various teams. Each team has its own preferences for players. In order to prevent other teams from selecting their favorite players, the uniforms of each team use all possible means. pole. .
There are some unexpected choices in the draft every year. For example, Kobe is not far away from Li Hao at the moment. There were many teams interested in Kobe in 1996, including the Celtics who held the No. 6 pick. .
But under the operation of Jerry West, the logo man of the Lakers general manager at the time, Kobe was brought to the Lakers, and he stayed there for twenty years.
Let’s talk about Stephen Curry, the next face of the NBA after Kobe Bryant. At that time, Curry and the Knicks couldn’t say that he was interested in having a concubine, and even went so far as to say that he would not marry unless he was married. However, in the end, he was cut off by the Warriors.
Watching Curry bring championship trophies one after another to the Golden State Warriors in the future, I don’t know whether New Yorkers are crying or not. Anyway, the Golden State people are already making money.
"Even if you want to muddy the waters, you shouldn't mess with me. I'm just a little-known transparent person." Li Hao was obviously unconscious. He was no longer a transparent person from the moment he chose to participate in the joint trial.
He is at the forefront of the body and has performed well in trial training. Coupled with his identity as a Chinese, some teams that want to make money may choose to take a gamble on Li Hao.
As long as a team selects Li Hao in the first round, won't it waste a spot and reduce one competitor? Therefore, this wave seems to many people to be a sure profit without loss.
Not everyone sees that Li Hao can play well. Even if he has a good body and performs well in trials, this does not mean that this player can play well, let alone Li Hao is still an Asian.
Let's talk about Jeremy Lin. Although Jeremy Lin is a Chinese-American who grew up in the United States and played in college for four full years, his race has not changed.
Lin did perform well during the crazy period, but what about after the crazy period? Seriously injured, his condition declined after returning from injury.
Crazy rise, rapid fall, this is Jeremy Lin's situation.
Before Jeremy Lin, there was Yao Ming. If not for serious injuries, Yao Ming would not have retired at the age of 30. This is almost telling the entire NBA that Asians are indeed poor at resisting injuries.

"Can I refuse?" Li Hao didn't want to go to the Little Green Room to sit there. He still didn't believe that he would be selected in the lottery area, not even in one round.
"Why refuse? Being invited to the Little Green Room is what many rookies dream of." Everyone looked at Li Hao with puzzled faces.
"Even if you are not selected, it is still not a bad thing for you." On the day of the draft, not only the eyes of most of the United States were focused on New York, but also the media from all over the world were concentrated there, not to mention that this year was hailed as the decade. A great year for the draft.
"Then shall I go?" Li Hao was a little persuaded by Holtz.
"Go ahead. You've been practicing too hard recently. Just give yourself a break and change your mood. Besides, the draft is a big deal for any rookie. You only have one chance in a lifetime." Kobe also agreed with Li Hao.
"Okay, then I'll go visit it." In fact, Li Hao was also a little curious about the Little Green House. After all, he had heard the name too many times, but he had never actually seen it.
"Okay, let's customize a suit tonight," Holtz said.
"Uh~~~I don't have any money." Once you get used to it, Li Hao won't hide it. This is Li Hao's character.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it first." Customizing a suit is not cheap.
"I'll pay for it. Think of it as a reward for your hard training these days," Kobe said suddenly.
"Us? Do I have a share?" Raven looked at his idol expectantly.
"Yes, we will go after training today," Kobe said with a smile.
