The fragrance is getting better, and Wayne seems to have found another way to make a fortune.

However, this feature is not invincible.

According to the system description, you can only form bonds with your teammates, not your teammates, no matter how good the relationship is.

In other words, after the draft is over, Wayne and Tony will no longer be teammates, and the progress of this bond will temporarily stall.

Therefore, bond progress is not directly equivalent to personal relationship.

Despite this small flaw, this function is already very practical.

Moreover, there are still some things that have not been unlocked in the bond interface. Maybe you can increase the bond value without having to join a team in the future.

While Wayne was still congratulating himself for unlocking such a useful badge, Jeff Schwartz had already boarded a plane to Stillwater City, preparing to pick up Wayne and Tony.

Tomorrow, the two of them will start their trial training trip around the United States.

At this time, the NBA Finals is about to take place, but the carnival of the weaker teams has come to an end in the past few days.

The end of the draft lottery ceremony and the determination of the draft order also means that agents with rookie players on their hands are about to get busy.

Although Schwartz has Okafor as the top pick candidate, in fact, players like Okafor are the most worry-free.

He only needs to let Okafor go to the top three teams in the draft to try out, and other things will not be considered at all.

Once Okafor falls out of the top three, no matter who the fourth player originally wanted to choose, he will definitely take Okafor under his wing without hesitation, even if Okafor has never tried out for them.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis. Schwartz will not let Okafor fall out of the top three, and the No. 1 pick is still his goal.

The Orlando Magic really want a big man in this draft, and their target is determined to be between Okafor and Howard.

Under Schwartz's hype, Okafor now has titles such as "the stronger Garnett" and "the strongest rookie big man in the future."

And as far as Schwartz knows, Orlando's No. 1 white-robed genius also conveyed to the management his desire to partner with Okafor.

McGrady has won many personal honors, including four All-Stars, two scoring champions, and four All-NBA teams.

Therefore, he is now extremely eager for a greater honor - a championship ring.

In fact, when McGrady chose to join the Magic, it was because of the ring.

That summer, the Magic claimed to be recruiting Hill and Duncan, but when Duncan failed to come, the Magic signed "spare tire" Tracy McGrady.

Maddie was going to hug Hill's thigh, but Hill knelt down and never got up again.

McGrady, who was holding her thigh, found that she had become the thigh...

Although his legs are very thin, he has no choice but to bite the bullet.

As a result, we haven't even touched the edge of the championship so far.

Since he is going to compete for the championship, McGrady definitely hopes that the more mature and more powerful Okafor can join forces with him.

Howard? That guy just sells his talent.

With the lessons learned from Kwame Brown, all teams have to consider the consequences when selecting the top pick of a high school center.

Therefore, Schwartz doesn't have to worry about Okafor at all.

In this way, he can also focus on Wayne and Tony during the trial training period.

Regarding Wayne, Schwartz is no less interested in him than he is in Okafor.

After all, if the market for the role behind Wayne could be opened, its value would be immeasurable.

Since the draft lottery came out, several teams have contacted Schwartz, hoping that Wayne can go to try out.

Among them, the most positive ones are the Portland Trail Blazers.

They even made a promise before the trial: "If there are no major problems, we will pick Wayne with the 13th overall pick."

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

In addition to the Trail Blazers, the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics also invited Wayne to participate in trial training.

The Warriors have the 11th pick this year, and they really want a big man.

The Jazz have the 14th pick, and they need players at positions four and five.

The Celtics have the 15th pick, but Schwartz doesn't really trust Danny Ainge.

The reason why the Celtics tried out Wayne was probably just to pick up the slack.

Well, don't doubt Anji, he is someone who can do this kind of thing.

Doing the most things at the least cost is his style.

Of all these teams, Schwartz cares most about the Trail Blazers.

Golden State's attitude is somewhat wavering, and their development over the years has not been very good.

Salt Lake City... would be a good fit for Wayne, but with their draft picks, they probably won't be able to get him.

It stands to reason that Schwartz should now have in-depth communication with the Trail Blazers.

In fact, he originally planned to do this.

Until he received a call one day ago.

A phone call from Larry Bird.

Upon hearing that the Pacers were interested in Wayne, Schwartz initially thought Bird was joking.

After all, the Pacers only have one pick at No. 29 this year.

He originally wanted to politely refuse Bird because taking Wayne to Indianapolis for a tryout would be a waste of everyone's time.

But Bird's attitude on the phone was very tough: "Bring Wayne here, I really want to see his performance. And I promise you, if we are satisfied, I have a way to get Wayne before everyone else."

.

I've been following him for a whole year and I've seen every game he plays. I needed a piece of the puzzle and this was an opportunity to get him straight to the top."

Schwartz knew that Bird was not lying because his informant Sweat was a scout for the Pacers and they had indeed been observing Wayne for a long time.

Therefore, Bird's call made Schwartz a little shaken.
