Chapter 1343 Summer League and Physical Test

"Shi, welcome you to Los Angeles and welcome you to the Lakers." The current Lakers manager Robert Pelinka smiled and shook hands with Xiao Meng, and said enthusiastically, "I believe you will definitely like this city, our team, and there are Chen and Yu."

As he said that, Robert Pelinka called out loud and said, "Oh, our Lakers will have three Chinese players. This is something that the NBA has never seen before. It will definitely become a good story."

Robert Pelinka only became the Lakers manager this summer (in reality, February). He is a very experienced agent, and Kobe is one of his players.

At the end of this year's finals, Kobe retired, and the Lakers' management also changed. The original boss, Bass, gave up, and his daughter Jenny Bass became the new owner of the Lakers.

After Jenny took office, she invited Kobe to join the Lakers' management, but Kobe was not interested in this and refused the invitation, but recommended her agent Robert Pelinka.

Subsequently, the Lakers fired former manager Mickey Kupchek and appointed Robert Pelinka as the new Lakers manager, so now the one who welcomes Xiao Meng has become Robert Pelinka.

"I think so too." Xiao Meng said with a smile.

Both sides greeted each other happily, and Xiao Meng even reported it.

Smith stood up. He was Xiao Meng's agent and wanted to ensure that Xiao Meng would not suffer any losses and got a considerable contract. So after politeness, he brought the topic to the point in time: "Mr. Robert Pelinka, should we talk about the important matter?"

Robert Pelinka glanced at Xiao Meng: "Mr. Smith, Shi should have just arrived in Los Angeles, right? I think he should have a rest. We need to do a body side first, and there will be a few more trials before we can negotiate the contract. You should know this."

"Of course I know, but the summer league has begun, isn't it?" Smith shrugged and expressed his intentions.

Now that the summer league has begun, other rookies are busy showing themselves, Xiao Meng is already behind and must catch up.

Smith's meaning is very clear. The contract can be discussed later, but Xiao Meng must enter the team lineup as soon as possible and participate in the summer league.

The NBA Summer League is actually an open platform. Rookies, free agents, international players, and some high schools and college players who have entered the league for three years can participate.

For the rookies of that year, because the draft had ended, many people had already decided to go to which team and agreed on the contract. Therefore, the summer league is more about working hard to have a stable playing time after entering the preseason and regular season.

But Xiao Meng is a little different. He entered the NBA as a free agent and is not in a hurry to sign a contract with the Lakers. He can use the summer league to prove himself and seek a better contract for himself.

Of course, like Yu Qian, he will only sign a one-year contract with the Lakers.

But even if it was only one year, as his agent, Smith tried his best to get a good enough contract for Xiao Meng.

So the summer league is an opportunity. Xiao Meng is not in a hurry to sign a contract, but he must participate in the summer league as soon as possible and use the competition to prove his strength and potential.

"Oh..." Robert Pelinka raised his voice. He was very smart to become the Lakers manager. He naturally understood what Smith meant, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved. "Okay, we also hope Shi can participate in the summer league as soon as possible. I will arrange this. Trials can be avoided, but the body side is a must, you should understand."

For Robert Pelinka, letting Xiao Meng play in the summer league first and then sign a contract will also be beneficial to the team.

If Xiao Meng swung it properly, then he could lower the price and give it a low price. I believe Shi Xiao Meng would not have any objection at that time, after all, he did not fight well.

In addition, it can also make Chen Feng and Yu Qian unable to find anything to say.

Now Chen Feng and Yu Qian are the absolute core of the Lakers, aces, and the team's money tree. After Kobe retired, the Lakers really needed one person to carry their Asian market, and Chen Feng and Yu Qian became particularly important.

Of course, there is another point. Chen Feng’s rookie contract is 31, and Yu Qian has only signed for a year. He has not renewed his contract with the team yet. What if Yu Qian wants to transfer to other teams?

Thinking of the relationship between Chen Feng, Yu Qian and Shi Xiaomeng, Robert Pelinka dared not suppress Xiaomeng at all. If Yu Qian left in anger, Shi Xiaomeng would definitely leave. By next year, Chen Feng would most likely be pulled away, and the team that finally improved would be over.

If these things are really born, he, as the manager, will be finished.

Therefore, he would not deliberately lower the price, but it would be a good idea to test Xiao Meng first. If Xiao Meng can make a good deal, it doesn't matter if he gives him a big contract; if Xiao Meng doesn't make a good deal, it will be fine to cut his contract.

Robert Pelinka's mind was very quick and immediately thought of these things, so there was no reason to refuse Smith's request and agreed immediately.

Seeing Robert Pelinka agreeing, Smith also smiled: "Of course, the body side is a must."

Some players who enter the NBA through the draft will refuse to participate in the physical side before the draft, but for the time being, when the draft is over and after entering the team, they will still participate in the physical side.

This is a must.

Xiao Meng listened and said, "Mr. Pelinka, I'm here today anyway. If I don't have any trouble, can I be on the side of my body?"

Robert Pelinka was surprised and asked back, "Shi, don't you need to take a day off, adjust your condition?"

“Is that necessary?”

"Uh." Robert Pelinka was stunned and nodded, "There are special equipment in the arena, and our staff are there, so it doesn't take much time to do it now."

Chen Feng and Yu Qian looked around and didn't find it strange, because even if it was affected by the flight, it didn't matter with Xiao Meng's qualifications.

On this side, Robert Pelinka immediately told the staff to ask them to arrange their body side.

Xiao Meng went to the locker room to change his jersey and did some warm-up activities. When his event started, the staff were ready.

"Stone, it's time to start." Robert Pelinka said.

"Okay." Xiao Meng agreed.

Start the body side.

The body side of the nba contains many items, such as barefoot height, shoe height, weight, body fat content, arm span, palm width, palm length, standing height, jump height, vertical jump height, running assist jump height, 185 kg bench press, bottom line folding back running degree, 3\4 sprint running degree, etc....

After testing these one by one, they are actually very complicated.

But for a player, the most important thing is height, weight, bounce, degree, and strength.

Under the guidance of the staff, Xiao Meng started to carry out the body of the project one by one. After each one was completed, the data would be recorded and fed back to Robert Pelinka.

At the beginning, it was height and weight, but it did not surprise Robert Pelinka.

But after the subsequent bounce, degree, strength and other side data came out, Robert Pelinka's face began to change.

The staff responsible for the test of Xiao Meng were also shocked, and they were all dumbfounded, feeling a little incredible. Is this really a Chinese?

Finally, people's eyes when they looked at Xiao Meng had become different.
