After finalizing the contract with the king, Jiang Dongbing informed Stewart and then called Lewis to his office.

When he learned that he had been traded to the Kings, Lewis' face was full of disbelief. He couldn't figure out why Jiang Dongbing wanted to trade him because he played well with the Grizzlies.

"Rashad, don't have any emotions. In fact, joining the Kings is not a bad thing for you."

"At least you will definitely get a starting position with the Kings!" Jiang Dongbing comforted Lewis with a smile.

Lewis nodded. This is true. It seems that he has many opportunities to perform in the Grizzlies. However, Lewis knows very well that after this draft is over, his playing time in the team is likely to decline seriously.

He does not believe that Jiang Dongbing will receive nothing in this draft. By then, he will still be a substitute in the Grizzlies, and his playing time will be reduced.

In this case, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to start in the starting lineup with the Kings. As long as you can seize the opportunity, you may really be able to soar into the sky.

"Okay, actually I'm still reluctant to leave Grizzly Bear."

"Originally I thought I could help the Grizzlies complete their three consecutive championship dynasty."

"Thank you for taking care of me this year, coach. Without your special training, I don't think my strength would have improved so fast." Lewis thanked Jiang Dongbing.

He is really grateful to Jiang Dongbing in his heart. If it weren't for Jiang Dongbing, how could he have gotten so many performance opportunities, let alone a championship ring with the Grizzlies, and he has no regrets in his career.

After sending Lewis away, Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but sigh. He must have been deeply reluctant to part with the players he had trained just like this.

But he has no choice but to give up. Trading is a common occurrence in the NBA. Lewis will definitely not be the last player to be sent away by him.

…

Because it is the offseason, Jiang Dongbing certainly cannot be so harsh as to ask Peja to come to Vancouver to report now. He must be given a buffer time anyway.

Taking advantage of the time he was waiting for news from the Clippers these days, Jiang Dongbing directly asked the team to contact Da Zhi, just in time to give Da Zhi a trial training to see what his ultimate potential is.

When registering for the draft, they will include their contact information in case the team contacts them, so it didn't take much effort for Jiang Dongbing to find Da Zhi.

"Coach Jiang, it's nice to meet you." The young and immature Dazhi was full of joy after seeing Jiang Dongbing, and he greeted Jiang Dongbing in half-baked English.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head and said, "Speak in Chinese, we are all our own people, there is no need to speak English."

These words directly made Da Zhi feel a lot more at ease. Jiang Dongbing's words could be regarded as a statement that if he could join the Grizzlies, it would be more suitable than joining other teams.

Da Zhi does not have high expectations for his draft pick. He only hopes that he can be selected and then rely on his own strength to make a name for himself in the NBA.

Of course, the higher the pick, the better. After all, this is related to your salary.

"You come for trial training. Is there no problem in China? If I am selected, can I be released in China?" Jiang Dongbing asked casually and curiously.

According to Jiang Dongbing's memory, Da Zhi was indeed selected by the Dallas Mavericks in 1996, but it was only two years later that he truly landed in the NBA.

This casual question made Da Zhi's face turn bitter. It seemed that he had encountered considerable resistance in the country.

Dazhi's identity is different from that of people like Yao Ming or Yi Jianlian, and the resistance to him leaving his home team is extremely huge.

"Coach Jiang, I will try my best to solve these problems." After a moment of silence, Da Zhi gave an ambiguous reply.

Jiang Dongbing waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. If there are really difficulties, we can also help appropriately."

"Go to the training ground first and let me see how talented you are."

Whether Dazhi's talent has reached ninety points is very important.

If Da Zhi's ultimate potential is less than 90, then Jiang Dongbing feels that he must let Da Zhi enter the NBA in advance and receive high-level training as early as possible, which will be beneficial to his growth.

And if the potential is over 90, it doesn't really matter when Da Zhi comes to the NBA. I will give Da Zhi special training so that he can have super combat power in a short time.

…

Seeing Da Zhi walking towards the court, Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but look forward to it. What is the potential of the first Chinese player he met?

Soon, Jiang Dongbing's face showed an ecstatic smile, and the system responded.

"Name: Wang Zhizhi"

"Position: Center"

"Breakthrough ability: 45 (70), training progress (0/1000)"

"CIC ability: 55 (81), training progress (0/1000)"

"Three-point ability: 66 (90), training progress (0/1000)"

"Rebounding ability: 52 (79), training progress (0/1000)"

"Organizational ability: 48 (84), training progress (0/1000)"

"Single defense ability: 56 (77), training progress (0/1000)"

"Assistance defense ability: 58 (79), training progress (0/1000)"

"Ball holding ability: 47 (73), training progress (0/1000)"

"Leadership: 40(80)"

"Game focus: 95"

"Current comprehensive strength rating: 66"

“Extreme Potential Rating: 90”

At first glance, Da Zhi's attributes, ignoring his height, seem to be an all-around small forward player...

In fact, although this system classifies Da Zhi into the center group, Jiang Dongbing feels that Da Zhi should be accurately regarded as a fourth-position player, and his style is somewhat similar to Lewis.

If Da Zhi is about ten centimeters shorter, Jiang Dongbing can guarantee that Da Zhi's main position will definitely be small forward or even shooting guard.

Originally, Jiang Dongbing was worried that Da Zhi's potential would not reach ninety points, but now it seems that he still underestimated Da Zhi.

"Not bad, not bad!" Jiang Dongbing clapped his hands and laughed.

"The talent is very good, he is an All-Star prospect."

These words made Da Zhi's eyebrows dance. Can he really become an NBA All-Star? It seems that the path he chose is not wrong.

"I will give you a training task. After returning to China, you will find a way to train well and try to complete it within this offseason."

"I will definitely select you with the right pick, so don't worry about losing."
