Chapter 1,039 Bradley’s Gratitude and Detective Leonard!

The University of Washington defeated Duke University in the NCAA finals, making coach Romar a god in one fell swoop.

The godfather of the University of Washington has also become the focus of the United States.

However, under the focus of this godfather, as the MOP of this NCAA finals, Avery Bradley also enjoyed his own glory.

When he got off the plane, he received a warm welcome from Seattle fans.

He is the third University of Washington player to win the MOP after Ye Si and Klay Thompson.

Although it is not the first one.

But Avery Bradley's popularity in Seattle is much higher than that of Klay Thompson, who is second.

After all, Avery Bradley is truly the most direct Seattleite.

He was the captain of Garfield High School in high school, the first captain of Garfield High School after Yes.

The University is again captained by the University of Washington.

It can be said that in Seattle, Yes is the most popular, and Avery Bradley is the second most popular player after Yes, even comparable to Durant.

It's not even comparable to Curry, Clay and others.

Such a person leads the University of Washington to win the NCAA championship trophy, which is truly a matter of celebration for the whole city.

Avery Bradley, who has enjoyed the aura of being one of the top talents in the United States since middle school, will certainly not be intimidated by such a formation.

"Captain, this MOP trophy is quite heavy, haha."

On the bus prepared by the University of Washington for University of Washington players, Bradley said while holding the MOP trophy and waving to the fans outside the bus.

Although he would not lose his composure in this scene, it still made him very excited.

Over the years in Seattle, he Avery Bradley has finally become famous!

"Captain, I finally completed the steps you took!"

high school state champion,

He has followed all the paths that the college's NCAA champion and captain have walked!

Now, he can finally pursue a higher path and a wider road without any worries!

Yes can understand Bradley's current excitement.

"You've just started now, you know."

"Yes, I know, Captain!"

After Ye Si finished speaking with a smile, Avery Bradley nodded.

Seeing the stubble on Bradley's face now, this boy is no longer the fan whose idol was shattered after he kicked his ass.

In the past five years, Avery Bradley has been promoted from a genius in middle school to a true genius.

Even in the United States, it is not 100% certain that a genius in middle school will eventually become a genius.

Not to mention someone as successful as Avery Bradley.

In middle school, he and John Wall were equally famous.

But after this year's NCAA finals, it's impossible for John Wall to catch up with Avery Bradley if he rides on another horse.

Elected as the P10 League MVP and selected to the All-American First Team. He is also the winner of the Oscar Robertson Award, the John Wooden Award, the Bob Cousy Award, and the Adolphe All-American Award. He was named the best player of the year by Yahoo and competitor websites. Best, Rookie of the Year, and current MOP, John Wall has become another NCAA player to complete a Grand Slam after Yeas.

Although the University of Washington's championship this year is said to be a tribute to Romar, in the final analysis, this year's University of Washington only has a five-star high school student in John Wall. It can be said that this team can be regarded as his single-core championship.

Now his reputation is almost at its peak, and his No. 1 pick is as guaranteed as Oden's back then.

Nowadays, all the bad teams in the league are looking at Avery Bradley.

He was proud of John Wall at first, but now John Wall has no way to be proud of him no matter what.

And this is the importance of choice.

Two good friends in the past, because of different choices, one flew into the sky, and the other was still moving forward step by step.

"Captain, John has always told me that the thing he regretted most back then was not coming to Garfield High School."

His life is coming to an end. Looking back on this period of his life, Avery Bradley feels that the greatest luck in his life is that he refused an invitation from a high school in Nevada and stayed in Washington state. In my hometown, I joined the team of my idol, the Garfield Five, and met the boss I admired and respected the most.

Without this period in his life, Avery Bradley is pretty sure his life would have been completely different.

After all, at the beginning, he was just like John Wall, his good friend, who felt that even if he didn't practice skills, he would be an invincible giant model just by waiting until his height reached 1.95 meters.

In the end, this fantasy was awakened by the boss with a slap.

Five years have passed. He was once 1.85 meters tall, but five years later he was 1.88 meters tall.

If he had the same mindset as before, even if he entered the NBA, he would still be just a role player.

How could he be as glorious as he is now, with the No. 1 pick in sight?

The reason for all this was very clear to him.

Avery Bradley was already preparing to participate in the NBA draft early after winning the NCAA championship this year. In fact, he announced his decision to draft at the press conference after the NCAA finals.

In addition to Bradley, another main player at the University of Washington, Isiah Thomas, also announced his draft decision.

Stayed for one year and won the championship trophy again.

At the same time, Isiah Thomas' performance has not declined this season and he can still contribute more than 16 points per game. He can be said to be Bradley's first assistant.

Although he won the championship again and his height is not that long, his status in the American basketball world has increased.

Many people are willing to select such a status player and put it on the team.

Coupled with his current strength, even if he has no potential in the future, he is still worthy of a late first-round pick.

Leonard, another main core player of the University of Washington, is a little different. Although his performance this season is not that outstanding and very mediocre, even Bradley has said many times that his performance is okay. better.

But even if his performance is not as good as Bradley and Isiah Thomas, and his physical talent does not seem to be that outstanding, his defense still allowed him to improve a lot after winning the championship. As a 19-year-old player, he has not yet been polished. The freshman player is not a genius who grew up from a young age. His current draft pick has been estimated to be around 15th, and he is already on the verge of the lottery.

Logically speaking, Leonard should have chosen to participate in the draft as soon as possible.

But Leonard didn't declare for the draft right away.

After the University of Washington won the championship, Bradley and the students at the University of Washington all enjoyed their own glory and cheers.

Only Leonard went to the Seattle SuperSonics to train with the team and became a non-staff player.

"Kawhi, I heard that Avery went back to Tacoma today. I think you should also go back to Riverside City to have a look. Come home in fine clothes. Walking in fine clothes at night is a waste of youth."

In the Seattle SuperSonics, it is definitely not unusual for a bunch of black or white players to spout a few idioms.

Of course Leonard also understands.

The relationship between the Seattle SuperSonics and the University of Washington, the relationship between Leonard and Yeas, basically, Leonard will not be blamed for anything he does in the Seattle SuperSonics.

Not to mention being a non-staff player with the team, even if he has to participate in training games, as long as Leonard is willing and Ye Si is willing, there will be no problem.

Originally, many Sonics players thought Leonard should come here to improve his strength.

Although this young disciple of Ye Si is not very strong or talented, he still works really hard.

It's not like they didn't want to take him.

However, after this kid came to the team, he looked here and asked there, but he had no interest in training or improving his strength.

The Seattle SuperSonics players were helpless.

Emotional young master, you are here to play.

It’s okay to play. Wouldn’t it be better to play the Homecoming game like Bradley and the others?

You have to come here to watch us train and ask questions.

How boring this is.

But what makes the Seattle SuperSonics players helpless is that no matter how they try to persuade them, Leonard just looks at them silently, follows them, and asks them about some internal matters of the team with a paralyzed face from time to time.

"Do you think Kawhi discovered the relationship between us and Rajon?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how is this possible? Kawhi is so honest, how can he be someone like James who looks like a teacher but is actually cunning."

James Harden on one side felt offended.

What a cunning ghost, Ben Huzi is just a little smarter.

"But Kawhi does seem to be interested in both of us."

"I heard Avery say that when JJ was leaving last season, the University of Washington was the first to find out about Kawhi. Before, Bradley and the others thought that James might be the last to leave."

Hearing this, James Harden was also surprised. Is this kid Kawhi so confident in himself?

Then when Kawhi is drafted, if no one wants him, then come to Seattle and Mr. Ha will take care of him from now on!

This kid Kawhi really doesn't look very smart, yet he is so supportive of the Third Master.

James Harden was also surprised. Of course, he didn't think his teammates meant to express that Leonard was smart, but to express that Leonard was very interested in the Sonics and wanted to come to the Sonics in the future.

If this is the case, it is understandable why Leonard did not participate in the draft as soon as possible.

The 15th pick cannot go to the Sonics.

And this kid is really stupid. This season you have the 15th pick with Bradley. Without Bradley in the future, how can you still have the 15th pick?

Sell ​​yourself while your value is high. As for the SuperSonics in the future, there is always a chance.

You are Yes' apprentice. You have received a high salary for four years, but you can't survive in the NBA. Are you still afraid that Yes will not want you?

You are now focused on joining the Sonics. If you don't perform well, how embarrassing will it be for Yes?

Should I give you a chance or not?

Give you a chance, is it like Ibaka and Durant before him?

It would be okay if the team had not won a complete victory, but the Sonics are now a team that strives for complete victory. How could they still train people without records like they did in the past with Durant and Ibaka?

This guy really can't see the general trend clearly.

I think I can become a superstar even if I have no talent, just by being with Ye Si. In fact, after this season, it will be difficult for those players who have no strength or talent to really become super giants. At most, they will be super substitutes like Matthews.

It can be said that I, James Harden, Harden Beard, and Mr. Harden were lucky enough to catch the last super-giant bus!

Of course, it doesn’t matter if he has a unclear mind, is not smart, is not strong, and has average talent. Who makes him a disciple of Yes? He is deeply liked by Yes, plus he is a person who supports Mr. Ha. Of course, Mr. Ha will do it in the future. You have to take care of me. With Leonard as my little brother, I will always be a Yes person from now on, and no one can replace me!

James Harden is currently thinking about the future.

And Leonard did discover something after inspecting the supersonic lap.

Most of the Seattle SuperSonics players have no plans to leave the Sonics.

But there is one person who is different.

Rajon Rondo!

Although the Seattle SuperSonics players and Rajon Rondo were well concealed, they could not escape his eyes.

It should be said that these people covered it up very well.

Although Rondo's behavior has not changed compared to before, his face has lost a lot of the expressions that the media called "Londo face" and "Nima face".

In the past, no matter what happened to the Sonics or whoever he encountered, Rondo would always have a Rondo-like face. He would have a hand in everything. He even sneak-attacked Ibaka and other players who he thought were persecuting the Sonics. .

This is a man who always claims that the Sonics belong to him and are not allowed to be harmed.

Now, it's suspicious that he's not angry about people or things that hurt the Sonics.

Think again of the previous incident involving the Spurs jersey hooding, and Popovich's decision to make Rondo the leader of the U.S. team against all objections.

Some things are very, very obvious.

Fireflies in the dark, no matter how hard they cover up their own light, there are some lights that cannot be covered up.

He has tried his best and planned for several years, but the most he can do is this step.

He has reached the extreme level of his personal efforts, and now it depends on the course of history.

Just like the NBA, if all your opponents in the Finals are injured, it is a historical process that cannot be controlled.

It is clear that this time, the historical process is on his side.

After the NCAA finals, the Seattle SuperSonics once again embarked on the road to victory in 82 games.

He defeated the Jazz and Nuggets back-to-back on April 6 and April 7 respectively, pushing his winning streak to 78 consecutive games.

On April 8, Leonard, who had been playing soy sauce with the Seattle SuperSonics for a few days, did not show up.

Because after Leonard played soy sauce for the SuperSonics for a few days, he inexplicably chose an inexplicable time and said an inexplicable word in an inexplicable place, and then announced his participation in this year's NBA draft.

"Leonard..."

The sensitive Durant frowned instinctively.
