Wait for Jimmy Butler to finish running, go home and take a shower, and use up breakfast.

A group of three people went to Frank Irving Center.

When he arrived at the Frank Irving Center, Robert Pelinka was already waiting there. Kobe's agent glanced at Li Ke and nodded to say hello.

Then he called Xiao Du aside, not knowing what to talk about.

Li Ke changed his jersey, picked up a basketball from the floor of the court, and stuffed it to Jimmy Butler as usual.

"Come on, Jimmy, you attack..."

On the side of the training ground, Robert Pelinka was talking and her eyes kept sweeping towards Li Ke and Jiba. Such a duel did not seem intense.

Li Ke has an absolute advantage. After all, he is already going to the NBA, and the draft market is not low.

Jiba is still a rookie who has only played for one year in junior college and will be a member of the NCAA Division I next season. There are many areas to improve.

"Why did Sheldon keep being one-on-one with that black boy?"

After almost an hour of chatting, Li Ke and Jiba's one-on-one still did not end. Pelinka couldn't help it, and the topic suddenly changed.

Xiao Du was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that he gave an unsatisfactory answer: "Practice each other."

"So, why didn't he ask you to train?"

“Because I never have one-on-one with others.”

"Is this how?"

"Uh, sometimes, but I'll try to avoid it because my high school coach Taras Brown, which is his request, and he thinks that too much one-on-one will make me ignore the team."

"Well, maybe he's right."

Robert Pelinka looked at it for a while and he felt that the only advantage of Li Ke's opponent was: he was very tenacious in fighting spirit.

I've been abused for an hour, but I still haven't given up.

"Let's stop talking about this, let's talk about the draft. Yesterday, I spoke with the Grizzlies' new general manager Chris Wallace. On the other hand, the guy still favored Greg Oden. However, I got the invitation to the Grizzlies' trial training, and the trial training is the key..."

The draft draw has not yet begun, and the Grizzlies with the worst record are the most popular choices for the No. 1 pick.

“Trial?”

Xiao Du suddenly became very angry: "I'm trying out, isn't a final four match in the NCAA Championship enough? A NCAA championship trophy, a final four match mop trophy isn't it enough? There are also the Naismith Award, John Wooden Award..."

...

In the parking lot behind Frank Irving Center, David Falke got out of the car with a cane and entered through the side door.

He has been Li Ke's agent for a while, but the exchanges between the two are limited to the one when they signed the contract.

This time, he came to Austin.

On the one hand, as time comes to May, the NBA draft trial is about to begin. There are arrangements for trial training and the layout of the draft, so he has to communicate with Li Ke in advance.

On the other hand, he also brought a big gift, not from him, but another guy who wanted to be named.

He walked around the long passage and ran into Robert Pelinka head-on.

"Hey, Rob."

"Mr. Falke, congratulations, signed Sheldon..."

David Falke shook his head, "You got Kevin Durant, I should congratulate you. By the way, how is KD's No. 1 pick, how is it working?"

Robert Pelinka frowned, but the corners of her mouth remained a curve, as if she was smiling: "KD has no interest in the No. 1 pick, he is willing to go to any team that chooses him."

"Is that so? Well... I won't talk anymore, I have to go find Sheldon..."

After saying goodbye, David Falke bypassed Pelinka and left straight away.

"This old guy, the person who came is not good..."

Pelinka cursed inwardly and turned around and left.

In this year's draft, David Falke gained a lot. In addition to winning the NCAA Final Four MOP, Li Ke, who predicted the draft in the lottery, he also won the top 8 of Jeff Green, who predicted the draft.

The rookies from the two lottery zones were very fierce and fierce.

...

On the side of the training ground, David Falke stood for a while, and he looked very capable with only eyebrows and hair on his head.

But at this moment, his expression was a little surprised, or surprised.

After a while, he stopped Li Ke.

"Introduce your opponent, Sheldon."

Li Ke nodded and pulled Jimmy Butler over: "Jimy Butler, you can call him Jimmy. He is from Houston and was at Taylor Junior College last year. He transferred successfully this semester. He was a member of the Longhorns in the summer."

David Falke smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Fight well, Jimmy, I hope I can become your agent next year."

"Thank you, Mr. Falke, I will."

After thanking him, Jiba left with tactfulness.

David Falke watched Jiba leave and said slowly: "It's time to talk about the serious business, Sheldon..."

Li Ke realized something was wrong, and he finally reacted, spokesperson of God, Son of God?

Damn it, it's terrible to think about it carefully!

This old guy must have discovered something...

The main thing is the subsequent draft trial. Starting from May, the NBA draft gradually kicked off.

First of all, there is a joint training camp in Chicago, which invites almost all rookie players who announced their candidacy. Of course, Li Ke is also listed here, and the invitation letter is already in the hands of David Falke.

Basically, this training camp in Chicago is a must-visit for rookies.

The physical tests of rookies are all completed there.

Li Ke's current physical fitness is not bad, so he naturally has to go there so that the Americans can know that yellow people can fly.

Then, after the draft lottery, each NBA team will conduct an independent trial based on their draft picks.

Whoever invites you means who is interested in you.

Generally, this stage is the best time for rookies to get the draft guarantee.

Although the trial training has not started yet and the draft lottery has not been decided yet, Li Ke has received three teams' trial invitations, namely the Pacers, the Bobcats and the Rockets.

Teams can send trial invitations, and players can choose to accept or not.

This is the time for David Falke to perform his duties. He has to help Li Ke analyze which trials can be done and which trials are not needed.

Of course, all analysis, in addition to considering the draft pick, also needs to be combined with some gossip.

"Sheldon, first of all, your current draft market is probably between the middle and last lottery..."

From the middle to the last part of the lottery, that is, excluding the top five in the first round, to the 14th pick in the first round.

"The Bobcats, their draft pick is about the middle of the lottery, and the Pacers are about the end of the lottery. Both teams are in line with your draft market, and they can go for trial training."

"Of course, if you don't want to play in Indianapolis or Charlotte, we can also reject their invitation to try out."

"As for the Rockets, my informant told me that the Rockets are still hesitant about you. The radicals believe that in order to form a Chinese portfolio, it is acceptable to trade with the high-quality assets in their hands."

"But the hesitant faction believes that the MOP in the NCAA Final Four may be very likely to bet on the future, and they should not bet on this."

"So, the result of the trial training becomes very important..."

Li Ke understood David Falke's meaning. The Rockets need to decide whether to initiate a deal and get a draft pick in the lottery zone to choose themselves.

So, whether to participate in the Rockets trial training is in Li Ke's hands.

But Li Ke suddenly had a question: "Who is the Rockets' general manager now?"

"Darel, who just took office..."

"Okay, no need to say anything, I won't go to the Rockets for a trial."

Li Ke interrupted David Falke, he didn't really want to hear that name.

David Falke was stunned for a moment: "Okay, Sheldon, then, let's talk about which teams you want to go to?"

"Do you want to go to the team?"

Li Ke touched his chin, and David Falke was going to use his connections.

For rookie players, draft choices are not one-way, and if you really have ideas, it can also be two-way.

This can be done by off-site operations.

"I would rather want to go to the Lakers, the Lakers who have Kobe Bryant."

The Lakers are the first choice because there is Kobe there.

As long as he trains carefully and plays the game steadily, a S-level skill talent cannot be eliminated.

And, after going to the Lakers, he can stay in Los Angeles, where Russell Westbrook and Westbrook's teammates, such as Kevin Love...

Of course, big cities and wealthy families are also relatively important factors...
