Chapter 100: 81. He is Kobe, not even 17 years old yet, but what if he has only been practicing basketball for two years?_5

Louis Williams was indeed much faster than Zhang Yang, but just as the two arrived at the elbow and were about to clash again, Zhang Yang grabbed the ball, took two steps, came under the basket, jumped, and scored a layup!

When Zhang Yang scored, Louis Williams was still bewildered on the sideline of the three-second zone, looking left and right. By the time he remembered to turn his head, the ball had already fallen through the hoop.

Watching Louis Williams get completely dazzled, the logo man was truly shocked this time.

This high schooler managed to apply the Euro step in real combat? His timing was spot-on, rhythm excellent, definitely lots of practical experience!

...

In just one round, the logo man was certain, Louis Williams was going to lose.

Indeed, that was the case. Zhang Yang couldn’t stop Louis Williams’s penetration, but his physical condition and the fundamentals of defense, along with awareness, allowed him to interfere with the opponent’s final move.

On the other hand, aside from gambling on a steal, Louis Williams had no way to defend against Zhang Yang.

Besides speed, Louis Williams was almost nowhere stronger than Zhang Yang.

In the ten rounds of one-on-one, Zhang Yang scored each time, while Louis Williams, disrupted twice, took two hurried jump shots that didn’t land due to being too nervous and losing rhythm, resulting in a 10-6 victory for Zhang Yang.

The logo man proceeded to have them continue with the tests and didn’t arrange any more one-on-one matchups for Zhang Yang.

He felt a bit of regret; it would have been great to invite Monta Ellis, but unfortunately, Ellis refused all tryout invitations except from teams with a top-three draft pick.

He didn’t think Ellis would be picked within the top three but was still very interested in this high school player, after all, the second-best high school player in the nation.

For Bynum, he didn’t schedule any head-to-head training. There wasn’t even a college center this year with Bynum’s physique, not to mention high school centers, so a regular test would do.

After the testing was over, the logo man saw Tellem, Zhang Yang, and Bynum off from the stadium.

Logo man: "Arne, I’d like to invite Jack and Andrew to a second tryout, which will take some time. Next, we need to conduct tryouts for overseas players and the second tryout for college players. When are you available?"

Tellem: "Jerry, you notify me anytime, I’ll make the time. I’ve prepared exclusively for you because of these two high schoolers you signed. Don’t you need a more talented scoring guard and a Center to allow Gasol to return to his power forward position? I only called you."

Logo man: "Hahaha... Okay, I’ll get these things taken care of as soon as possible, looking forward to our next meeting."

The three of them got into the car that came for them and left the FedEx Forum.

Bynum fell asleep again as soon as he got in the car. Zhang Yang wanted to learn this divine skill too; in the future, he’d definitely spend a lot of time traveling in the NBA, and catching more sleep whenever possible was a good thing.

Zhang Yang asked Tellem, "The team you’ve chosen for me is the Grizzlies? Didn’t you say you wanted to develop my commercial value? Isn’t the Memphis market a bit too small for that? How am I to develop any commercial value here?"

Tellem: "Before Yao joined, how much commercial value did the Rockets have in a big city like Houston? Before James joined the Cavaliers, who cared about them? As long as you can play like Yao, wherever you go will become a hot market."

Zhang Yang: "You make sense. So now we just go back and wait?"

Tellem, puzzled: "Wait? You don’t want to get drafted? Of course, we’re going to the next city for tryouts."

Zhang Yang: "Er... didn’t you tell the logo man you only recommended me to him?"

Tellem: "You think he’ll believe that?"

Zhang Yang: "No, not even a 16-year-old would believe that."

"But a 17-year-old would." Tellem pointed at the sleep-talking Bynum and said.

Zhang Yang looked at Bynum, who was really talking in his sleep— "Mom, we’re moving to Memphis, I’ll buy you a lot of land, plant a lot of corn..."

Zhang Yang gave up on learning the ’sleep as soon as you get in the car’ divine skill. Damn, if this was recorded, he’d be mocked online for a lifetime!

He asked, "Where’s our next stop?"

Tellem: "Los Angeles, they’ve invited us for a tryout tomorrow. We’re going to the airport now, kid, start getting used to the NBA lifestyle. You’ll be flying every day..."

Zhang Yang: "Los Angeles? Clippers or Lakers?"

Tellem: "Of course, the Lakers. That Sterling of the Clippers is too stingy. Before O’Neal left the Lakers, Kobe thought of joining the Clippers. I talked with the Clippers, and Sterling was only willing to offer 100 million for 6 years. After Kobe found out, he fired me, but that wasn’t the reason we parted ways."

Zhang Yang: "Because he never intended to leave the Lakers? You misunderstood? And you only managed to get a 100 million for 6 years offer, which made him feel embarrassed?"

Tellem: "Jack, one shouldn’t be too clever."

Zhang Yang: "That’s my reasonable deduction of his character. But why did we come here first? Hidden Mountain is so close to Los Angeles. Wouldn’t it be better to go there first?"

Tellem: "Although I didn’t just recommend you to the logo man, he must be the first, otherwise, he’ll get miffed." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

"Man’s friendship is really strange."

"You speak as if you’re not a man."

"I’m underage, I’m a boy."
