Chapter 84: The First Application of Bravery Trait (5.2K(1/3)
New Orleans, the Hornets' training hall.
David Falke walked in front, and the bald man came towards him. The difference was that in addition to hairy eyebrows, the bald man also had a beard, which looked very strange.
"Hi, Jeff."
"Hi David, the daylily I'm waiting for is almost cold, do you know?"
"I know I know, but that's what the trial is, so you have to come one by one, right?"
"Let's go, we should go in..."
The bald man who came out was Jeff Ball, who was the current general manager of the Hornets. Under his leadership, the group entered the training hall.
In the training hall, Li Ke met someone he didn't want to see.
No, to be precise, it should be that when he saw these people, he always felt very panicked, and then he couldn't help but look at David Falke.
"Mr. Falke, you said that if you are here, you will try to avoid making me one-on-one."
David Falke patted Li Ke: "Don't worry, there will be no more one-on-one."
On the sidelines of the training hall, Chris Paul and Lasur Butler looked at Li Ke.
There is no need to introduce the former, and the latter is one of the main shooting guards of the Hornets last year. They have played 81 times and started 38 times. They averaged 10.1 points per game, with accurate three-pointers and good defense. They are considered a qualified 3D player.
"Actually, if it's one-on-one with Lasur Butler, it's still acceptable."
Unfortunately, as David Falke said, Li Ke's trial will no longer be one-on-one.
This trial was two-on-one...
“Two to one?”
"Yes, there will be a bunch of obstacles on the court, and Lasour Butler will chase you closely, and your task is to throw away Lasour Butler within the specified time, then receive a pass from CP3 and hit a shot."
"Is this a test of my ability to shoot without the ball and catch the ball?"
"You guessed it right."
“But it seems to be one-on-one?”
"No, you have an extra passer and a bunch of obstacles."
Soon, the trial began.
At the top of the arc, Li Ke first handed the ball to Paul, and then took a step to start.
Lasur Butler was facing Li Ke. As soon as Li Ke started, he also started sprinting.
Li Ke rushed two steps and rushed directly.
Lasur Butler staggered out. The competition without the ball had just begun, and Li Ke had already run out of the open position.
Li Ke, who was standing there, stared at Paul.
Paul then realized his reaction and passed the ball over with a flushed face.
Li Ke received the ball and made a quick hit.
On the sidelines, Jeff Ball shook his head: "You know, David, what I want to see is not Sheldon's open jump shot."
David Falke smiled and nodded. He knew that what Jeff Ball wanted to see was a jump shot against defense in actual combat.
The Hornets are different from the Pacers and Bobcats before. They tried out Li Ke because of Li Ke's top character player attributes.
They didn't expect Li Ke to attack with the ball, nor did they expect Li Ke to become an All-Star player in a short period of time. They just hope Li Ke can contribute the things that the Hornets urgently need, three-pointers, defense, and key balls...
In the next round, Li Ke repeated the routine that he had suddenly stopped after two steps. This time he failed. He restarted and went around in a big circle. Lasur Butler was still chasing him.
The coach on the sidelines blew the whistle at this moment. Paul's pass passed in advance. Li Ke received the ball while running, took the ball and stopped in an emergency and pulled out his hand on the spot...
Swish!
Lasur Butler has been half a step behind Li Ke, which is this half a step away, allowing Li Ke to take action calmly.
As long as Li Ke's B-level three-pointers and central shots can have a shooting percentage above the level.
Jeff Ball was very satisfied on the sidelines.
"This guy's off-ball is great, his mid-range shots and three-pointers are also very accurate, which is what we want, but I heard that he was beaten by Danny Granger during his trial in Indianapolis?"
David Falke immediately denied: "Nothing is going to beating, nothing is going to happen..."
"He just failed to limit his opponents. You know Danny Granger, that's a quasi-star player, that guy is not weak, and there is no defender who can guarantee that he can defend his opponents."
"Well, David, you're right, then the 13th pick in the first round of New Orleans Hornets is now owned by Sheldon."
Jeff Ball stretched out his right hand to express a happy cooperation, but David Falke waved his hand: "The 13th pick in the first round will not be selected by Sheldon..."
Then, David Falke told Jeff Ball that the Bobcats were planning to use the No. 8 sign to choose Li Ke.
Jeff Ball opened his mouth wide and looked surprised: "Is Michael Jordan crazy? Choose a role player with zero ball holding on to the No. 8 draw?"
"Role player? No, Michael thinks Sheldon is the cornerstone of the Bobcats' future."
"Blockstone!? Well, all I can say is, Michael Jordan redefined the cornerstone."
David Falke suddenly stopped laughing. What does this mean? Do you look down on my players?
However, he still asked: "So, Jeff, what do you say here?"
"We can't break up our main lineup for Sheldon, so it's impossible to trade upwards anymore, and it's still the 13th pick in the first round. If Sheldon falls to this position, we will choose him. If not, we will shift our target."
While Jeff Ball and David Falke were discussing, Li Ke's trial was successful on the court, and Lasur Butler could not stop his off-ball run and mid-range shots at all.
The Hornets' coach stopped the trial. Li Ke walked to the sidelines, took a towel, and wiped his sweat.
Paul, who was only responsible for passing the ball throughout the whole process, came over: "Sheldon, your shot is indeed very accurate, New Orleans welcomes you."
He stretched out his right hand to Li Ke, but Li Ke also waved his hand: "It's too early to say this Chris."
“How to say it?”
Paul frowned.
Li Ke explained: "The Bobcats are planning to choose me with the No. 8 pick, so if your general manager is not ready to trade the draft pick up, I will go to Charlotte."
Paul continued to frown and traded the draft pick upwards? It was not impossible, but now he still cannot affect the Hornets' management's decision.
"Then I can only wish you good luck."
Li Ke smiled. When he saw Paul's bald head, he suddenly thought that what Paul disliked the most was being touched by someone else's head.
After touching his nose, Li Ke resisted the urge to take action.
However, the bald head looked a little rough in front of him. One day, he would take action to pull it away.
...
The last stop in the trial is Los Angeles, the Lakers and the Clippers’ trial.
Looking forward to a lucky Li Ke is not lucky. He failed to meet Kobe in the Lakers' training hall.
But thinking about it, it's all like this, and Kobe is impossible for him to appear in the Lakers' training hall again. At least, it's unlikely before the start of the season.
In the Lakers' training hall, Li Ke only saw the famous idiot in the United States, Mickey Kupchek.
Like in the Bobcats, Li Ke made a shot that was unconfrontational, showing his soft touch.
Then, Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw appeared and gave some confrontation.
Facing the confrontation, Li Ke's shooting was still accurate.
It seems that Kupchek has no idea of causing trouble.
But the problem is that Kupchek does not cause trouble, which does not mean that others do not cause trouble.
Dada dada dada dada dada...
The helicopter landed and the troublemaker came!
"Los Angeles Lakers idiots, I heard you invited this year's NCAA champion, new semi-finals mop, Death Sheldon Lee?"
Kobe, wearing sunglasses, appeared. He did not wear the Lakers jersey, nor did he wear the Bulls jersey that countless people thought was inappropriate. He wore a jersey with the front "lower merion" and the number was No. 33.
Li Ke stood there, watching Kobe approaching with a slutty pace...
"Hey, little guy, stop being dazed, one-on-one, come on one!"
Li Ke was silent, Kobe continued to approach: "Haha... the little guys are so cowardly nowadays. They don't have the fighting spirit we used to be. I missed me when I participated in the draft, and I frantically asked someone to fight one-on-one. I almost defeated everyone..."
David Falke stood up and prepared to stop him: "Hehehe, Kobe..."
The next second, he heard Li Ke's crisp answer: "Okay!"
"No, Sheldon?"
David Falke was surprised. What if he agreed not to be one-on-one?
"Come on, Kobe, you attack me?"
Li Ke was very excited and eager to try.
He did say that he would never be one-on-one during the trial, but the problem is that when the system in the body senses a huge threat, issues an alarm, and triggers the courageous trait, Li Ke can only have the law of true fragrance!
