Three days later, Li Kaiming drove from his home to the mcI center, parked the car and went straight to the training ground.

Sanders had already told him before he came that the tryout would last a long time and there would be a lot of events, so it was best to get there early if you wanted to see it.

When he arrived at the training ground, he found that it was already full of talent, and in addition to Sanders, there were also a lot of team staff that Li Kaiming was more familiar with, including scouts, trainers and team vice president Tommy Shepard.

In the sideline rest area not far away, there were several team staff in a circle, and it was not clear what was going on inside.

Tommy Shepard was the first to spot Li Kaiming, he turned his head and beckoned to Li Kaiming, and when the latter walked next to him, he smiled and said, "You came just in time, they are preparing for the event to warm up, and the specific trial has not started yet." ”

"Have all the people arrived?" Li Kaiming was a little curious, after all, the players who participated in the draft did not have to come, and they could refuse to try out for the team they did not want to go to.

"Of course, our Wizards are a team with a bright future now, and with you, I'm afraid no one wants to come?" Tommy Shepard replied as he patted Li Kaiming's ass.

Shepard wants to have a good relationship with Li Kaiming is very easy to understand, the current president of the Wizards Glenfield is old, not surprisingly in a few years Shepard will replace the retired former and become the next president of the Wizards.

After all, although Washington is the capital city of Emerica, if you consider it from the perspective of economic development and the ball market, I am afraid that it will not even rank in the top 10 of all ugly, and the attraction to superstars is not as strong as that of those big cities.

Li Kaiming smiled and didn't speak, Shepard turned his head to look at the crowd gathered over there, and then said, "You can also take a closer look later, who do you think is suitable for you to be your teammate, then we will keep him, the draft picks in the past few years are still there, and we have plenty of space to get them to our team." ”

Hearing Shepard's promise, Li Kaiming was also a little surprised, it seems that the management has reached an agreement to form a championship squad around him from this season?

It's good, there is no need for him and Monica to personally put pressure on them, and the management itself knows how to show sincerity.

The warm-up on the sidelines didn't last long, and soon the crowd dispersed, and Li Kaiming saw these three people for the first time, who made him very curious.

The test on the physical hardware condition has been completed long before the warm-up, and there is no difference from what is written in the scouting report, Klay Thompson, the whitest of the three, is 198 tall, and the remaining two are 201, but from Li Kaiming's point of view, there is not much difference between the three in height.

However, when it was confirmed that the facial paralysis arm span named Leonard really had 221, Li Kaiming was still surprised!

This arm is really too long, as long as you practice your physique a little and improve your confrontation ability, it will definitely become a nightmare for all outside players!

And according to the scouting report, the biggest selling point of this guy named Leonard is his defensive ability, the template is Gerard Wallace, a proper outside defensive superstar, if he can polish his offense later, he will definitely become Li Kaiming's right-hand man!

As for the guy who looks like Jordan, not only is he an older rookie, but his physical talent is relatively average, obviously as tall as Leonard, but to the naked eye it looks like he is a lap smaller than the latter......

According to the scouting report, this Butler's template is Morris Evans, and a simple summary of his characteristics is that he can do anything, but there are no outstanding characteristics, and he is not refined.

This kind of all-round player is a compliment for a high-pick rookie, because it shows that this rookie has a lot of potential for development in the future, and will not stick to just one direction, if he is lucky enough to scrape a superstar who can train anything, it will be even more awesome.

Unfortunately, this Butler is not a high pick, scouting reports and media predict that he will be drafted at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round.

The team used this level of draft picks to sign, it must be based on immediate combat power, not a rookie who can do anything at this pick, and the physical talent is not outstanding enough, from this point of view, even Li Kaiming knows that this Butler is predicted to be selected at the end of the first round, which is not surprising at all.

But even so, Li Kaiming stared at this guy's face for a long time.

Tut-tut, as a die-hard Jordan fan, Li Kaiming also has to say that this guy is too similar to Jordan when he was young!

He even suspected that this was Jordan's illegitimate son who was in exile, because according to media reports, this Jimmy Butler was not only born without a father like many black children when he was a child, but also because his mother disliked his appearance was too ugly, and then when he was 13 years old, he directly said to him, "I don't like your looks, you can go"......

This mother definitely doesn't pay attention to basketball, otherwise how could she throw Jordan II?

However, Butler, who lost the help of his parents, did not give up on himself, he insisted on playing, from junior high school to community college, and finally joined Marquette University.

If you just look at the scouting report, all three have their own strengths, Thompson has the best outside shooting, Leonard has the best physical talent, and Butler has the best mental will.

Technique, physicality and will are all very important things in the sport of basketball, and now it's up to them to see who can perform better in the tryout!

In fact, NbA has held joint trials before, inviting a lot of participating players to tryouts, and it is very coincidental that all three of them participated in that joint trial today, so most of the projects do not need to be tested repeatedly, only to test what the Wizards focus on.

As early as the previous team executive meeting, head coach Sanders stated that this draft must only be good defense and three-point shooting, so this trial also revolves around two aspects.

The first is the three-point test, which is the same as the three-point contest, with five points from the outside, five shots from each point, a total of 25 shots, to see how the shooting percentage is.

It is worth mentioning that Thompson, who is nominally the most accurate three-point of the three, shot 9-of-25 from the three-point test in the joint tryout, hitting 16 irons angrily, becoming the bottom score of that joint tryout.

Ordinary players go to joint tryouts to show their strengths and then let the picks rise, but Thompson used to smash his own signature......

Jimmy Butler, on the other hand, shot 18-of-25 from the field in that joint tryout, raising his prediction pick from the second round to the end of the first round.

The court staff cleared out a half, then three caddies were ready under the basket, and the first man, Klay Thompson, came on the court!

The caddie made a long pass to Thompson, and the latter entered the state quickly, facing the basket after a quick adjustment of his feet, and at the same time bending his hips down to lower the center of gravity, it can be seen that the rhythm of catching and shooting is very comfortable, giving people a smooth and natural feeling.

Not a loser to be a shooter!

Li Kaiming nodded, Thompson jumped with both feet after receiving the ball, and when he reached the highest point, his body was already tense in the air into a straight line, and the elbow and wrist of the shot were kept at a standard 90 degrees, and then he gently flicked his wrist to shoot!

Swish!

The basketball streaks through the air in a beautiful parabola and then hollows into the net!

Beautiful catch-and-shoot shots! Li Kaiming couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Soon Thompson's shooting test was over, and his shooting percentage was also very good, with 16 of 25 shots and a shooting rate of nearly 60 percent, which is very good in a time-limited test.

Next, it was the turn of Leonard who was paralyzed, and after seeing Leonard's catch-and-shoot posture, Li Kaiming instantly held his forehead.

Even if this guy looks like a robot, why does he even shoot like a robot?

And it's also the kind of robot with delay, as if the network speed is not good, card by card, especially after just watching Thompson's smooth and fast shot, and then watching Leonard's shooting is like watching a love action movie at 0.5 times the speed, one word, aggrieved!

The final test results came out, Leonard made 8 of 25 three-point shots, and it can be seen that there is no problem at all as the scouting report says, this guy is really stiff on the offensive end!

Just kidding, the shooting posture is so stuck, and the shooting can be accurate!

Li Kaiming couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, what surprised Li Kaiming a little was that after seeing his three-point performance was not good, the young man named Leonard did not show any low mood, but returned to his original position with his head down as if nothing had happened.

I know, robots don't have feelings, do they? Li Kaiming rolled his eyes, this guy, I really suspect that it was a new product of a robot company that was spoofed.

The last one is Jordan 2.0 Jimmy Butler, Li Kaiming also looked at the court with curious eyes, wanting to see what kind of performance this guy who looks like Jordan and Jordan can show outside the three-point line.

But what surprised him a little was that this Butler actually looked at him intentionally or unintentionally when he was preparing.

As a person with very keen senses, Li Kaiming can never feel wrong, this guy is just looking at him!

Hey, it looks like this young man is interested in me, Li Kaiming smiled at Butler on the court.

After the test, Butler shot 13 of 25, and the shooting rate was more than half, which was not bad, but it was not as bright as the previous joint trial, and it seemed that the last time it was a dumpling.
