Chapter 25 Rejection of Joint Trial Training
The advantage of having an agent is that the players will be much more relaxed, and don't have to spend energy to contact the team or deal with commercial cooperation.Although there is a commission to be paid for this, in the long run, an excellent agent is definitely helpful to a professional player.

After confirming his agent, Xie Kai began to prepare for the trial training before the draft.Before the draft, there will be a joint trial led by NBA officials and a separate trial for interested teams.Except for those talented enough to be like LeBron James, ordinary rookies dare not easily refuse to try out, otherwise they will offend the team and leave a bad reputation in the circle for arrogance and conceit.

Xie Kai did not leave the school immediately. He and several other University of Kansas teammates who were preparing to participate in the draft were training in the University of Kansas training hall.Unlike others, his training is a combination of awareness training and reality training.

Find your own weak points in actual training, correct your skills, and then correct them in awareness training and strengthen them to form muscle memory.

During this period, Xie Kai felt very fulfilled. In order to make up for the possibility of going to the NBA in the future and not being able to accompany Zhou Jing more, Xie Kai spent as much time as possible to accompany her during this period.Zhou Jing is a girl who is easily satisfied, as long as she has delicious food and company, she really doesn't care about anything else.She never brings up the brand-name bags and jewelry that some girls pursue, and she even rarely fantasizes about them.

So the more Zhou Jing is like this, the more Xie Kai wants to buy her expensive things after he earns money.In his view, you don't need it, and I can't give it to me are two different things.

April is coming to an end soon, and Xie Kai feels that his condition has become much better, because the fat he gained in celebration of winning the championship has also turned into that little muscle. Although he is still very thin, there is no excess fat on his body , It just feels cool.

In early May, the NBA officially took the lead in holding a joint trial training, and sent invitations to young people who announced their participation in the draft by email.

This year's joint trial training will be held in Chicago. The trial training items include static tests - height (with or without shoes), arm span, body fat percentage, standing height, etc., dynamic tests - jumping height (jumping in situ) , run-up and take-off), 84kg bench press, 3/4 court sprint, baseline run, etc., shooting test - 3 points, mid-range, CS (catch and shoot), etc.Of course, some professional tests of confrontation and non-confrontation are also included.

This joint trial is not mandatory for those who are preparing to participate in the draft to participate, but it is up to the rookie himself and his team to decide whether to participate.

Xie Kai also received the invitation, he couldn't decide whether to go or not. The official attitude of the NBA is not very clear. If it is mandatory for everyone to go, it would be easy to handle.Faced with this situation, he immediately asked his Kansas teammates and his good friend Westbrook.

There are those who go to Kansas and those who don't.Westbrook is still not sure whether to go or not. They are going to ask the agent's opinion whether it is necessary to participate in this joint trial training.

Xie Kai contacted his agent Thaddeus Fucher by phone.

Thaddeus Fucher knows Xie Kai's current situation very well (this is his job), and he has done a lot of work to help the employer have better development prospects.After receiving a call from Xie Kai, he expressed his opinion: "Mr. Xie, the joint trial training is officially initiated by the NBA, but it is not mandatory. You can think of this as a recruitment activity , The players who participate in the trial training show their abilities and show them to the teams that have draft picks. If a team takes a fancy to the abilities displayed by the players, then OK, the chances of the players being selected will be greatly increased."

After hearing a few words from Thaddeus Fucher, Xie Kai still couldn't figure out whether he was in favor of or opposed to participating in this joint trial training.He doesn't interrupt the other party, he knows that as a manager, the other party will definitely tell him his opinion in the end.

Thaddeus Fucher continued: "So there are two kinds of players who are eager to participate in this joint trial training. One is not sure whether they can be selected. Increase exposure and increase your chances of being selected; the other is eager to prove yourself. Generally, the teams where such players belong are eliminated early, in order to prove that the team is poor rather than yourself weak. Mr. Xie, do you think you Which of these two players is it?"

Xie Kai already understood that the opinion of agent Thaddeus Fucher was that he should not participate in this joint trial training.I am the clearest about my own strength. I belong to the kind of people who are famous but not strong enough to show off in the joint trial training.Before being selected by an NBA team and unable to inspire the first baby given to him by the basketball god, he was considered a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

"You don't think I should go to the joint trial training, right?" Xie Kai asked.

"Yeah, I think so. If you're worried about your draft prospects, I'd contact NBA teams that are interested in you and ask them to give you individual workouts. Because basically even if a team is interested Players who show good qualities in the combine are interested, and they will still send the player to them for an individual tryout. So I think it will do more harm than good for you to participate in the joint tryout!" Sadie That's what Sfitchell said.

"Okay, so what should I do with this invitation?"

"Mr. Xie, don't worry, leave everything to me!" Thaddeus Faucher acted very professionally.

Xie Kai didn't ask Thaddeus Fucher about whether Westbrook needed to go to the combine, because he didn't need to ask at all.Based on his understanding of Westbrook, the other party does not belong to the two types of people mentioned by the agent.

With Westbrook's talent and potential, he is a solid lottery player. He only needs to wait for the trial invitations from the teams with lottery picks.

On May 5, the NBA held a lottery conference.In the end, the No. 21 pick was not won by the Miami Heat with the last record, but by the Chicago Bulls with the ninth record.

This is definitely the biggest upset of the night in the lottery, because the probability of the Bulls winning the No. 1.7 lottery is only [-]%. There is no other better explanation for being able to win the No. [-] lottery than saying it is a "magic draw".

The Bulls accidentally won the No. [-] pick. For them, they have a chance to get either Derrick Rose or Mike Beasley.

The Miami Heat, with the worst record this season, won the second pick, and the third pick was the Minnesota Timberwolves.
