Sun Hao was still thinking about the scene of playing basketball with Tekoglu in front.

The two are really co-starring.

If he continues to choose to stay in Europe, playing with Bodilloga will only be stronger.

If you think so, it is also exciting to stay.

He felt someone coming towards him, and he temporarily put away his thoughts.

The Lakers' scouts looked in their sixties, which was in stark contrast to the young scouts in their thirties and forties around them.

Moreover, he also asked Sun Hao before whether he had dunked the basket, so Sun Hao had a deep impression of him.

“You can play in the NBA.”

He came up and threw a super big candy to Sun Hao first.

"Thanks."

Sun Hao took him as a compliment and replied with a smile.

The scout stretched out his hand to him and signaled to go to a place with few people to chat.

Sun Hao nodded in agreement.

At the end of the trial, it was originally time to discuss terms with the team and the players.

Tkoglu had already surrounded him with a scout.

This is the same scene when the Hongyuan team tried out with Yi Jianlian.

The point of improvement is that he has scouts to look for him.

"Your strengths and weaknesses are obvious, offense is your strength, and you have a very good heart, the last two balls in the front one-on-one."

"Your defense is limited by height and you will suffer when you are misaligned, but that can be improved. You haven't learned the defensive skills yet, so that's not a problem."

When he got to the side, the scout was straight to the point and told him all about his evaluation of Sun Hao, and he was really professional.

"Thanks."

Sun Hao found that he had nothing to say except to say thank you.

The other party is like an elder who sees through everything.

"I can give you a draft commitment."

However, the other party's words then made Sun Hao look up at him.

This is...the draft promise?

Why does it sound a bit unreliable?

Moreover, because he was an assistant coach in NCAA in his previous life, he still knew the responsibilities of some NBA jobs.

Like scouts, they are divided into two categories.

The first type is called potential scouts, and it is also the kind of scouts that most people are familiar with.

Their main responsibility is to evaluate the player's abilities and potential.

The representative figure here is Ivanka Dukan, the legendary scout of the Bulls.

The Croatian discovered the super sixth man of the Bulls dynasty, Kukochi, and later discovered players such as Mirotic for the Bulls.

Most of the scouts who arrived today are like this.

The second category is called advanced scouts.

Their work is mainly responsible for detecting opponents, including tactical characteristics, game habits, team weaknesses, etc., and helping the coach arrange tactical arrangements.

This is already a teaching assistant.

This type of scout is rare, and it is usually an experienced old guy.

Sun Hao felt that the person in front of him looked like he was.

However, even senior scouts have no right to make draft promises.

Because that is the right that the team general manager has.

"Don't you believe me?"

As expected, the older person had insight, and he immediately felt what Sun Hao was thinking.

"Oh, forgot to introduce myself, I'm Bill Burtka, the Lakers' scout manager."

Betka was now like an old man, smiling and stretching out his hand to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.

He knows this name!

The Lakers have many legendary figures, such as head coach Phil Jackson, many celebrities "Magic" Johnson, "Log Man" Jerry West, and the current "OK combination" Kobe and O'Neal.

Bill Bertka is one of them.

His influence is not as great as those above, but he is very famous in the circle.

This legendary scout has been a Lakers scout since 1968. He is the first scout to appear and can be called the godfather of the scouting world.

Sun Hao had heard of him before, but had never seen a real person, but he didn't expect to see him here!

The Lakers attach great importance to this joint trial!

But it is understandable that the Lakers just won their first NBA championship since 1988 last season, and the OK combination reached the top.

The new dynasty is about to be established, and the Lakers are about to recreate Purple Gold Glory.

The team has a good performance, but it also means that draft work will become difficult.

As the team with the highest regular season record last season, they only have two draft picks in the new season, one with 30 picks in the first round and the other with 60 picks in the second round.

Those who can be selected at the 30th pick are basically role players, while those who can be selected at the 60th pick are generally not able to play in the NBA.

Under this premise, it is not surprising that they look overseas.

Europe is the highest level of overseas players.

Not to mention that some players from Africa and Russia have also come here.

"You know me?"

Bertka asked with a smile.

"I've heard of it."

Sun Hao nodded and shook hands with Bertka.

"Then do you believe what I said?"

"believe."

This kind of legendary character does not matter which position it is, what is important is the right to speak.

The Lakers' new general manager, Kuppchek, is probably a child in front of him.

"I'll try to trade a second round pick to pick you, that's a promise."

Bertka continued.

Sun Hao continued to nod when he heard this, but a hint of bitterness appeared on his face unconsciously.

What this means is that if you can trade a suitable second-round draft pick, you will choose him.

In other words, if the transaction is not allowed, this promise does not actually exist.

But he didn't care too much, after all, this was the first trial, and it was already very good to get the draft promise.

And when he thought of Ginobili, his mood improved a lot.

There is no comparison and no harm, no matter how miserable it is, it is better than him!

"Don't be discouraged, kid, you're good enough, and we'll provide a second trial. If you're good at trial later, I can try to convince them to change their minds and choose you with the first-round draft pick."

Bertka really has insight into people's hearts, and he can also see his love for Sun Hao from his words.

After all, there is only one first-round draft pick a year, and it is not something he can decide, it can only be decided by a team after repeated research.

Sun Hao nodded.

At this time, the NBA's approach to European defenders is basically to choose you in the second round, then free up, or pay more attention to sending a trainer to follow you.

As for whether you can play in the NBA, it depends on your subsequent performance.

Ginobili is the most typical example.

The two then talked about something else.

"I hope to see you in training camp, but from my personal point of view, I suggest you play in Europe for another year, or I can recommend you to the NCAA, which will give you a big boost in your draft pick, you know you're only 18 now."

Bertka really admires Sun Hao.

The older you get, the more genius you become. No matter what profession you have, you will have a very accurate view of others after you have been doing it for a long time.
