Chapter 179 Swift
chicago.

Every rookie will hold a training camp here when they participate in the election. The main purpose is to show their various abilities and get some unexpected surprises!

What Bruce and Wilkens are doing now is what the scouts of each team do. After they came to Chicago, the two settled in the hotel and then walked to the arena!
The training camp basically includes all the players participating in the draft. Of course, there will also be rookies who think they are good or have a high draft pick and will selectively reject them!

When Bruce and Wilkens felt the arena, there were already many rookies warming up on several courts!

In this year's draft, only a few high-ranking players are favored by the media and the managers of each team. According to their words, the rest of the players are dispensable!
With the emergence of a large number of super potential rookies in several drafts after 96, this grand occasion failed to reappear in the following years.

Among those rookies, especially this year, are high-profile high schoolers Darius Miles and Stromile Swift.

Both have explosive physical fitness, coupled with good performance, they are known as the most promising players after Kenyon Martin!

Bruce and Wilkens didn't bother the rookies on the court. They directly chose a somewhat remote position, and each took out a notebook to watch carefully.

On the edge of the court, the managers or teams of each team sat in the surrounding auditorium one after another.

When Baylor and his assistant walked into the arena, when they saw Bruce, a trace of helplessness flashed in their eyes, and they walked over with a forced smile!

"Hello, Bruce!" Baylor smiled politely, then looked at Wilkens beside him, with a flash of memory flashing across his face, and said with a smile: "Lanny, we haven't seen each other for a while!"

Bruce and Wilkens greeted Baylor one after another, moved to the next seat, and then said, "Elkin, who will you choose?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Wilkens' eyes. When he saw the slightly immature tall player on the court, an imperceptible excitement flashed across his face, and he said casually: "We don't have a clear goal yet. All we have to do is wait for the lottery to start!"

Bruce smiled secretly, looked at Darius Miles who was showing his basic skills on the field and thought for a while: "I don't think a high school player will help our team!"

Baylor froze there suddenly, looked at Bruce in surprise, then subconsciously looked at the black player with pigtails on the field, he couldn't help hesitating!

In the NBA, all managers admire Bruce's vision in the draft. Judging from his drafts and trades in the past few years, he has never selected a player who cannot help the team!
Hearing Bruce's pointed statement, Baylor couldn't help hesitating!

After a bad season, the Clippers seem to be expected to get the top five picks. Therefore, after the regular season, they started a large-scale evaluation tour of the players who may participate in the draft!
Whether it is Martin and Swift, who are the most popular champions, or Jason Hart, who may fall to the end of the second round, Baylor and his team have indeed made the most serious assessment!

After screening, Baylor will highlight the players who are likely to get high picks. With the return of the trip to East St. Louis High School, they gradually have the best candidate in their hearts!
This guy who Baylor regards as "KG II" is Darius Miles, who is very famous in the United States.

And Miles' ability has basically been recognized by most managers in the league, but his identity as a high school student and his lack of training in higher-level leagues, some managers are basically not that interested in this prosperous high school student !
"Uh...you mean?" Baylor looked at Bruce with some uncertainty, and then at Miles who was about to complete a powerful dunk with the ball in both hands, feeling depressed for a while!
"boom!!"

While Baylor was depressed, Miles seemed to really want to show off to the scouts and managers present. After receiving the basketball from the staff from the baseline, Myers raised his hands high. Facing the basket with four steps away, he suddenly accelerated and still held the basketball high with both hands. When he came half a step outside the penalty area, his body suddenly bent, and while his head was flat, he smashed the basketball into it with both hands. basket!

Myers's powerful dunk finally achieved the result he wanted. All the managers in the arena and the scouts of each team looked at the slightly shy Myers in amazement. The expression that a dunk player should have!
"Wow, Bruce, did you see that?" Baylor looked at Miles, who had completed some moves with the cooperation of the staff, with bright eyes. After this explosive dunk, the hesitation in his heart disappeared with the wind. scattered!
Bruce looked at Baylor helplessly, knowing that he already had his own plans, he couldn't help sighing secretly: "Hey, I wanted to help you!"

After Miles' dunk, players with good physical fitness showed off all kinds of dunks they intentionally prepared!

But Bruce and Wilkens, who saw this scene, shook their heads without the slightest interest!

To put it bluntly, the training camp is a trade fair for products, but not all of them are delicious, and there is a great possibility that there will be duplicity!
For example, Mike Miller, whom Bruce pays close attention to, while all the players are showing off their super dunks and physical fitness intentionally or unintentionally, he is immersed in shooting silently at various points on the three-point line with the cooperation of the staff. With a grain of three points!

"This guy will definitely become a star!" Bruce murmured thoughtfully, looking at Miller who was still shooting non-stop.

Swift stared coldly at the sensational rookies on the court, and he disdained their clown-like performances very much!

In high school, he used his super physical fitness to gain great attention in the United States, and after joining Louisiana State University, his physical fitness has been further improved and more attention!
In this summer's draft, Swift is the most promising player after Martin!

Although some basic skills are still a bit rough, his super long wingspan and abnormal jumping still cover up this deficiency.

"Stromile is such an interesting guy!" Wilkens looked playfully at Swift, who was gazing at the field with his arms folded, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of the opponent's strong physical fitness!
He has a strong physique and is called a genius player. He has seen it many times.

Although there are successful precedents, after all, these are only a few cases!
In the history of the NBA, there are not many stars who are famous for dunking. Except for the exciting 7s and 80s, from the 90s until now, there are very few guys with the best physical fitness who have grown into superstars!

"Hehe!" Thinking of the famous "hehe" in his previous life, Bruce can only offer a "hehe" to this guy who looks very cold and arrogant now!

As more and more players entered the arena, some managers and scouts couldn't help approaching the stadium!

Bruce and Wilkens were not like them, they just sat calmly in the auditorium and silently recorded and evaluated!

The rookies of the 2000 class In the eyes of most managers and related columnists in the league, this is not a good draft year.

Although they are not very optimistic, who can say that there will be no exception among these players?

When all the rookies basically arrived, Bruce failed to find the player he had decided to win!
"Why hasn't it appeared yet?" Bruce searched around regretfully.

"Who? Who didn't show up?" Hearing Bruce whispering to himself, Wilkens couldn't help looking around curiously, and asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, the guy we might win this time!" Bruce smiled, shook his head and wrote down Mike Reed's name casually in the notebook!

When Bruce searched for Reid to no avail, Swift standing on the court finally showed his strength!

Because of his super performance at Louisiana State University, this physically fit player won the title "Shark II" that surprised countless people before the game.

As this title spread more and more widely, Swift gradually became one of the most popular rookies for the No. [-] pick!

In college, especially in his second year, Swift averaged 16 points and 2 rebounds per game.

From these two data, it is obvious that the title of "Shark II" cannot be achieved. In Bruce's view, this title is only given to him for his powerful dunks and super strong ability to block shots!
In 50 games in his second year at college, Swift had a horrific 130 blocked shots.

This is also a powerful performance second only to O'Neal in the school history of Louisiana State University!

As Barkley said when he learned that Swift was about to participate in the draft, "He is like a buck that can run and jump!"

If he knew that the buck had irreparable flaws, he wondered how the superstar who was about to join TNT would feel!
Bruce and Wilkens are quietly waiting for Swift's upcoming abilities. Although he knows more about Swift than himself, he is very happy to see the debut of this super dunk machine !

On the court, Swift and the staff whispered a few words, and then changed to the half-court position that originally belonged to the center line!

When Swift motioned to the staff, most of the managers and scouts in the stadium looked over one after another!

I saw the staff standing two steps to the left of the basket. Following Swift's sudden acceleration and start, the right hand threw the basketball high to the top of the backboard!

Seeing the staff's actions, everyone was stunned subconsciously, they didn't understand what this guy was going to do at all!
With the basketball hitting the top of the backboard, Swift jumped up the moment he entered the penalty area!
I saw that Swift's head was raised little by little, and when his head was about to surpass the basket, two long arms suddenly even caught the falling basketball. , Explosively dunked the basketball into the basket!
"boom!!"

A loud noise spread throughout the somewhat small arena without any PA equipment, and all the players stopped their movements!

When they saw who made the shocking dunk, everyone shook their heads helplessly!

Among them, the rookies who played against Swift showed regretful expressions helplessly!
"Cool!" Bruce stood up excitedly. Although he felt very sorry for the player's IQ, his dunk can really stimulate a person's adrenaline soaring!

 The first!
