Chapter 82 Chicago United Training Camp (May 5.2K)(1/2)

After the draft draw, the joint trial was held. On the day of the trial, David Falke changed to a Mercedes-Benz's six-seater business and directly pulled Li Ke and Jeff Green away.

There were also Luning and Falke's assistants in the same car, plus a driver, which was exactly six people.

The United Center is the venue for this joint trial. A while ago, the Bulls were eliminated, and it became a sad place, with nowhere to go.

But during this period, many fans wearing the Bulls No. 24 jersey were added on the square of the United Center.

A middle-aged white man with long messy hair and a sloppy beard was shakingly holding a bottle of wine and filling it with a bite from time to time.

This guy followed the big army, although he was out of place, but he shouted from time to time: "We need Kobe!"

Perhaps he had accumulated enough trust, he blocked several enthusiastic female fans, pointed to the No. 24 Bulls jersey held high by the female fans, muttering in a speechless manner: "I have been a fan of the Chicago Bulls for 30 years, but I can't even afford a red Bulls jersey..."

After a long time, the guy got a brand new No. 24 Bull jersey, and immediately put it on his body and walked away with a sway.

...

"Before Kobe came, he had already conquered a group of Chicago fans."

"This is the appeal of superstars."

"It's a pity that this group of fans is destined to be disappointed."

“How to say it?”

Looking at the Bulls fans wearing Kobe's Bulls jerseys in groups along the way, Li Ke finally shared his analysis based on his memories of later generations.

"It's very simple. The Chicago Bulls want to get Kobe because they want to end the post-Jordan era that has been a mess, but they face a lot of competition. The Detroit Pistons and the Dallas Mavericks, these two teams are both strong teams in the previous few seasons, and they have a lot of chips in their hands."

"In contrast, the Bulls have been ups and downs in recent years, but they have failed in the draft. They have only barely entered the playoffs this season. In terms of trading chips, they are far inferior to the Pistons and the Mavericks, so they will do whatever it takes."

"But don't forget that Kobe Bryant has the right to veto the deal!"

David Falke seemed to be reminded and immediately reacted: "Yes, we have forgotten this one."

There are very few stars in the NBA who hold the trade veto power, and Kobe is the first player to have the trade veto power.

At this moment, only Kobe and Kevin Garnett have the right to veto the transaction, so many people have forgotten this privilege that is unique to superstars.

"If the Bulls want to get Kobe, they can only rush the whole team, but once they rush the lineup will become very bad. On the other hand, Kobe wants to leave the Lakers because the Lakers have not signed up for many years, but what is the difference between the Bulls who have rushed everything and the current Lakers?"

"So, the situation has been frozen long ago. Kobe can't leave anymore. If he wants to leave, he can only wait for the contract to end."

David Falke turned to look at Li Ke: "Can the Lakers tryout still go?"

"go!"

Li Ke still decided to go. He looked forward to a lucky and an impact, and a wonderful encounter...

David Falke nodded and then turned to Jeff Green: "Where are you?"

"I won't go, I'm wasting my time..."

When a business car drove into the parking lot, it was this place where it was busier than the square outside.

David Falke got off the car and said a few hello:

"Hey, John, Jim, I didn't expect it to be so angry. You still have the leisure to stand here. Hurry up and go back. That idiot in Los Angeles is waiting for your call!"

"Long time no see, Ernie, do you have any plans for the Wizards this year? Look at the little brother behind me, he is from Georgetown University. If you want it, he will be home..."

"Michael, you guy, actually came in person!"

As he walked towards him was Michael Jordan, Jeff Green's eyes were shining with brilliance, as if a hungry wolf had touched a bloody piece of meat, and he became very excited.

Li Ke was very calm on the side. He could understand Jeff Green's mood. Most of the players from the 2009 Platinum generation were Jordan fans, and the remaining small group were Iverson and Kobe fans.

Of course, the above are all self-declarations of these players. Li Ke didn't know whether this was the case in private.

However, he can be sure that Jeff Green is a Jordan fan.

This guy signed Jordan's agent and signed Air       Jordan's sneaker contract. Now he is still so excited when he sees Jordan, which shows that.

"Tell me, Michael, who do you have any intention of this time?"

Seeing David Falke squeezing his eyes like a clown, Jordan was helpless, and he changed the topic: "David, you should introduce the two little guys behind you first..."

"Okay, Michael, let me introduce it. This is Jeff Green, from Georgetown University, the forward, who can get a game in NCAA..."

“The introduction is really detailed…”

Jordan knew that David Falke did it on purpose. This old guy knew that the Bobcats' draft pick could not be selected by Jeff Green, and he knew that he had already set his sights on Li Ke beside Jeff Green.

"I thank you, David, I know Jeff, but unfortunately, the Bobcats only have one pick with the eighth pick in the first round..."

"You can trade upwards."

Jordan glared at David Falke.

Old Falke knew that if he pulled it down, Jordan would be furious, so he introduced Li Ke who was left beside him.

"Sheldon Lee, a member of this year's NCAA champion team, one of the winners of the semifinals MOP, and the founder of Shert's pick-and-roll..."

Li Ke covered his face, the Xie Du group had disintegrated...

Jordan stretched out his right hand towards Li Ke: "Sheldon, this should be our first meeting, right?"

Li Ke nodded. Before that, he had only seen Jordan from afar.

The same is true for Jordan. Due to the regulations of NCAA, he could not have any contact with Li Ke.

"I've told the truth, in fact, I've been following you for a long time."

Li Ke widened his eyes and was shocked.jpg!

He didn't know that Jordan was paying attention to him. If he knew, he would have hoarsely at the top of his lungs early: Don't come here!

Seeing Li Ke’s shocked look, Jordan was very satisfied, and this was the effect he wanted.

He patted Li Ke on the shoulder: "Today's trial is mainly physical tests. I hope you can hide your strength a little. In return, I can give you a promise now that the Bobcats' first round No. 8 draw will be used to choose you."

Damn...

Is this what Jordan has chosen?

Li Ke opened his mouth and shook his head: "No..."

Jordan frowned and interrupted Li Ke: "Of course, Sheldon, I know you are an extremely confident person, which is very similar to me..."

No, there is a guy in Austin who looks more like you than me, you should go and order that guy...

"So, if you don't want to hide your strength, it's OK, my promise will still work."

After promising, Jordan photographed David Falke and made a phone call gesture: "David, there is something to call."

Then he turned around and left.

Watching Jordan go away, David Falke glanced at Li Ke:

"It seems that you don't really want to go to Charlotte?"

Although Jeff Green beside him looked at him with envious eyes, Li Ke still made an affirmation: "The Bobcats are so bad, I don't like the feeling of losing all the time."

"Maybe you can take them to win if you go to the Bobcats?"

Li Ke shook his head, he knew how much he had.

However, he didn't resist the bobcat so strongly. If he really wanted to go to the bobcat, it would be acceptable.

Although there are no thighs in the team, there are still a few calves. Gerald Wallace, Emecca Okafor, and Raymond Felton are all considered powerful players.

"Let's go, go to the physical testing area to queue up."

Jordan, who had already walked away, frowned: "That little guy doesn't seem so excited?"

Behind him, Larry Cooper thought of a reason: "Maybe he is more restrained in character. I heard that Chinese people are quite restrained in character."

Jordan's brows stretched, but Larry Cooper frowned again: "Michael, are you really going to go against Robert's intentions and use this No. 8 pick to choose Sheldon?"

"Professional people do professional things, Robert is just the big boss of the team. He doesn't know basketball. It is great to get Jason Richardson with this No. 8 draw, but the team will always be lukewarm."

Michael Jordan began a long speech: "As a team in the small ball market, we should learn from the Cleveland Cavaliers, choose the cornerstone through the draft, and then build a team around this cornerstone..."

Larry Cooper nodded, and I have to say that Jordan's theory is correct.

But the problem is that the draft requires vision, and Jordan's vision...

It’s better not to say it!

...

In the physical test area, Li Ke followed David Falke immediately.

He saw a group of rookie players in three or five, followed by a bunch of agents and assistants in suits and ties, and Li Ke suddenly remembered last summer.

The Pyramid Stadium in Long Beach, the NCAA Trial he and Westbrook participated in.

The same trial training has been very different.

As soon as Li Ke walked into this area, a few players who knew each other but were not very familiar with each other nodded to him.

Then I met Xiao Du.

"Kevin, play well, the No. 1 pick is waiting for you!"
