Chapter 4 Going their separate ways

Template upgrade task?

What's the meaning?

Does this mean that Jr. Smith’s template can be upgraded?

Oh ho!

Li Wan's conjecture was quickly confirmed.

The system description actually says that as long as you complete the template task, you can upgrade the template.

jr-Smith’s template is upgraded again...

I'm rough!

Li Wan held it in for a long time before he uttered such an exclamation.

"task list:

1. Averaged 10.3 points, 2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in his rookie season;

2. Score more than 33 points in a single game during his rookie season;

3. Average playing time in his rookie season reached more than 24.5 minutes per game;

4. Started more than 56 games in his rookie season;

Note: After the rookie season is over and all tasks are completed, the template can be upgraded. If there are unfinished tasks, the tasks will be reset and updated."

All done?

Li Wan grinned.

Let’s not talk about the 10.3 points, 2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, nor the 33 points in a single game.

Just averaging 24.5 minutes per game and averaging more than 56 starts per game in his rookie season are enough to give Li Wan a headache now.

Fortunately, Jr. Smith's template has improved the upper limit of many of his shortcomings. In terms of talent, he is now considered to be first-rate in the NBA. If he practices hard this summer, he will definitely improve a lot of strength. We will see then.

These tasks may feel easy.

…

The first round of the draft is over soon.

Daequan Cook was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 21st overall pick in the first round.

Ohio State University's four rookies in this year's draft all successfully entered the first round. This is the first time in NBA history.

Greg Oden excitedly called for everyone to take a photo together, and happily thought about the future: "I hope we can take another photo during the All-Star Weekend next time!"

These words made Joakim Noah next to him laugh, and he sarcastically said: "That Chinese guy still wants to enter the All-Star Weekend? Let's find a way to survive in this league first!"

He knows the differences between Kupchak and Phil Jackson on selection.

"Or first think about whether you can stay in Los Angeles for a month without being traded!"

His ridicule made Oden and Conley look dissatisfied, but they are honest people and rarely do such things as trash talk.

Fortunately, Li Wan's character doesn't require his teammates to stand up for him. Noah had already provoked him once and didn't pay much attention to him at the time. Unexpectedly, he has become more aggressive now.

"If you have time to care about me, you might as well care about your college teammate Taolin Green. He seems to have fallen to the second round, right?"

Tao Lin Green is Florida's starting point guard. He is short in stature, only 1.83 meters, and his physical fitness is not good enough, but he has a calm and calm psychological quality. He led Florida to win the championship last year. In addition, 2006 was a small draft year.

His pick once soared to a first-round lottery position.

But in order for Florida to defend its title, he gave up participating in the 2006 draft. As a result, not only did he not win the NCAA championship this year, but his ranking in this year's draft dropped again and again because of his age and lack of potential.

Now the first round of the draft is over and he has not been selected yet.

"If you lose the election in the end, you will have wasted your whole life!"

His words, coupled with his disdainful eyes, immediately angered Joakim Noah, who rushed over to take action. Florida's rookies this year, Al Horford and Corey Brook, noticed the quarrel here and hurried over.

He caught him.

Noah was showing his teeth and claws, and Li Wan didn't worry at all. He had practiced boxing for five or six years before time travel, and even won the championship in amateur competitions. He was not afraid to compete with Noah.

Across his teammates, Noah couldn't rush past him. He stretched out his finger and looked at Li Wan angrily: "Just wait for me!"

Li Wan's words pierced his pain. Last year, it was his repeated persuasion that made Tao Lin-Green agree to stay for another year, thereby missing a good opportunity.

To put it bluntly, this was also what happened to Tao Lin Green. Li Wanming knew that the evaluation would be linked to his performance in the draft, but he still decided to participate in the draft.

More importantly, Li Wan knows that his potential on the offensive end is low. Even if he stays in the NCAA for another year, it will be difficult to produce any outstanding statistics.

This year, Ohio won the championship, and he also completed the winning goal at the last moment. There is no better moment to participate in the election than this.

The next photoshoot was uneventful, except that Wilson Chandler smiled crookedly when he met him, his eyes full of pride. After the photoshoot was over, Tai Lun, who was waiting on the side, handed over Li Wan's cell phone.

I handed it to him: "Mitch just called and told us to go to Los Angeles in the next two days. He wants to see us as soon as possible."

"That seems like good news."

Li Wan lowered his head and opened his phone. There was a text message from Yao Ming, congratulating him on being selected in the first round. He and Yao exchanged mobile phone numbers on the day of the NCAA Finals.

For the first time in the history of the NCAA finals, a Chinese player appeared, and Dayao Yao came specially to the scene.

After that, they would send text messages to communicate from time to time. During the trial training, Dayao gave him a lot of useful suggestions.

——Thank you Brother Yao, see you in the NBA.

After thinking about it, Li Wan added another "Yao style embarrassing smile" picture that he treasured on his mobile phone.

So far, no one from the other Lakers has called or sent text messages.

Li Wan frowned slightly.

Under normal circumstances, as the boss of the team, shouldn't he give him a call as soon as the draft is over to express his feelings?

Lakers boss...

Oh, it's Kobe!

That’s okay!

This is a "Black Mamba", so don't expect him to be very kind to you.

Especially this summer, if Li Wan remembers correctly, there will be an extreme soap opera between Kobe and the Lakers management. He is probably in a state of emotion at the moment, and it is normal for him to not take care of him, a little shrimp.

He doesn't care if Kobe calls or texts him.

What made him frown was that the head coach Phil Jackson didn't even make a call.

It seems that he is really dissatisfied with Kupchak’s choice!

After the photo shoot, the "Four Sons" from Ohio had a simple gathering. Before it was too late, they all received calls from their respective teams and would report to their teams in the next two days.

Of course, the main reason was that they had no money in their pockets and couldn't go anywhere. In the end, the four of them sat on long chairs in the square, watching the busy traffic on the street and the bright moon in the sky.

"Next time I see you, everyone will be a millionaire. I don't know why, but I suddenly enjoy being penniless now." Daquan Cook said with a look on his face.

Conley expressed a lot of emotion: "We really did it!"

When the four people put their hands together a year ago and said they wanted to sprint to the NBA together, they never expected that in just one year, they would all become NBA players.

He suddenly thought of what Oden said when they took a group photo just now: "Otherwise, let's set a small goal and play the Rookie Challenge together in February next year!"

"This...is a bit difficult!" Cook scratched his forehead and looked embarrassed.

Li Wan nodded and agreed: "It's indeed a bit difficult."

There are only 9 spots on the first team of the Rookie Challenge, and the competition is quite fierce. Jr. Smith averaged 10.3 points per game in his rookie season, but he failed to make the first-year team in 2004.

The competition for the 2007 class is no less than that for the 2004 class.

"It's difficult to be challenging. Those who don't get in by the time are responsible for taking pictures!" Conley laughed after he said it.

"By the way, have you made an appointment with the doctor for a check-up?"

Li Wan looked at Oden.

"We have made an appointment. After signing the contract tomorrow, I will go to Phoenix."

"OK!"

The original Oden eventually became the most regrettable "injury Zhongyong" in the NBA. Now Li Wan and he have become college teammates, and everyone has a good relationship. It is naturally impossible for him to watch Oden "fall" like this.

It's just that his injury problem is too complicated, and Li Wan is not sure whether he can finally get rid of the injury. All he can do is to persuade him to go to the Suns' "miracle doctor" team for a good check-up.

Get up early for the second update.
