Add one, I'm not very good at fighting

"What's wrong with the point guard? Point guards don't grab rebounds anymore? Every point guard is a hidden big center, come on."

"I...I don't want to be with Li Ang. I'm not feeling well today, oh man you know, there are always a few days a month, hahahaha."

Francis was going to say, just me and the trainer.As a result, Oakley answered first: "If that's the case, then you should be in the same group as Big Ben."

Off the court, Brother Ben touched the arm that was thicker than Li Ang's, and smiled innocently at Francis.

"Hey, it's okay, don't look at me like this, I'm actually very gentle."

Just like that, the training hall was filled with Francis moans that he didn't know whether it was pain or enjoyment.

Francis Hardness +1.

Of course, if he really keeps practicing like this, Francis will be crippled sooner or later.

In the next few days, Oakley also arranged physical fitness and shooting training.

After all, this is a complete training camp, so there are still many types of technical trainers, and the items are also very rich.

In the past few days, apart from being busy with training and maintaining their condition, Li Ang and Francis also had to be busy choosing agents.

The professional basketball world is different from the relatively simple NCAA. Without an agent to help with off-court affairs, players are basically unable to move a single step.

The simplest thing is that there is no way to try out.

Although there are also examples of Dirk who does not need an agent to negotiate, but the boss is willing to spend money on him.

But like human high-quality nerds, this is an exception after all.

After the March Madness Finals, Li Ang and Francis had already received many self-recommendation calls from their agents.

But Li Ang didn't bother them, and he also advised Francis not to agree to others easily.

For a broker, the most important thing is not to choose a capable one, but to choose an obedient and loyal tool person.

In the original history, Francis' agent Nathan Peake was a typical scammer.

He brought Boss Fu to do business in a mess, and Boss Fu himself spent a lot of money, which made Boss Fu go bankrupt later.

And this guy later played himself into it because of tax evasion, the whole one, two hundred and fifty, which is completely unreliable.

As a good brother in this life, Li Ang can't let Boss Fu be exposed to such a scam again.

This is not the most deceitful thing. The famous Deng Idiot was once cheated by his agent of more than 2000 million dollars because of his inadvertent selection of candidates.

A person who can cheat more than 2000 million knives, you say he is incapable?

But ability is worthless without loyalty.

Therefore, the most important thing in choosing a broker is to avoid pitfalls.

As for ability, to put it bluntly, whether you can get a big contract and a big endorsement depends on the player's own strength.

If you can't help yourself, it's useless to hire the best agent.If you have the strength, your agent will be the icing on the cake.

As the trial training is approaching, the agents who have come to recommend themselves these days have broken through the threshold.

Oakley is also helping Li Ang and Francis to check. After all, he has been in the circle for so many years. He can tell who is reliable and who is not.

Finally, on the second day after the public recruitment of agents, Li Ang saw a familiar and reliable person——Mark Barterstein.

This middle-aged man with sleepy eyes and messy hair has nothing to do with the word "reliable" just by looking at his appearance.

But Li Ang knew this person. As a senior basketball fan in his previous life, if you search for well-known NBA agents on the Internet, Mark will definitely be on the list.

Mark is different from Rich Paul, Jeff Schwartz and other agents. He may not have so many brash operations and news, but he is more low-key and more honest with players.

Without so much fuss, it is purely for the interests of the players.

Duodu, an obedient and capable tool man!

Mark Barterstein has a good reputation in the circle. To be honest, even Oakley didn't expect that Li Ang and Francis would attract such a big-name agent.

If it was Francis alone, he would certainly not be able to attract such a bigwig in the industry.

But behind Li Ang, there is a Chinese market that the NBA has never seen before, and Barter Stern wants to gamble!

It is said that Jeff Schwartz is already in contact with Wang Zhizhi, who will also participate in the 99 draft.

And Barter Stern chose Leon.

Because they don't know enough about China, no one knows whether a player like Li Ang who came out of a non-systematic wild way can drive the Chinese market.

But Barter Stern still decided to give it a try. Even if it can't drive the Chinese market, investing in Li Ang as an ordinary lottery rookie may not necessarily lose money.

Barter Stern originally prepared a lot of speeches, and even hired a Chinese translator to go abroad to persuade Li Ang's parents.

In the end, facing Barter Stern's self-recommendation, Li Ang only made one request: "You can sign me, but you have to take my brother Steve with you!"

But Barter Stern simply said: "It's a deal, double happiness!"

In this way, Li Ang and Francis had a loyal tool man, and began to help them organize the trial training.

As for which team to go to, Li Ang doesn't have any special requirements, as long as he can guarantee playing time and get a chance to practice.

In the early stage, leveling has a higher priority than champions.If you go directly to the championship team, they have a complete lineup, so it is difficult to achieve the goal of leveling.

As a role player or water dispenser manager to win the championship, to be honest, the gold content is limited.

Li Ang still wanted to compete for the championship after he could stand on his own.

And even if the team I go to is relatively weak, I am not afraid of not being able to win the championship in the past few years. I can leave after I show my strength.

What was Li Ang thinking about?He didn't want to hang himself from a tree.

One person, one city, sober up!

In his previous life, Li Ang was as loyal as Lillard, so he also started to apply for a deal.

As loyal as Duncan, in fact, it was because Rivers didn't let the idiot take his family on the plane together, so he didn't go to the Magic.

As expected of Lao Li who is the best at playing reversals, the Magic and Duncan had reached a verbal agreement at the time and were short of a formal contract.

The glory of the Spurs can be established, and Lao Li has contributed a lot!

And Kobe, who was regarded as a totem by the Lakers, was only about to go to Chicago to inherit Jordan's mantle.Fortunately, the Lakers got him a housekeeper from Spain, so he could stabilize him.

To put it bluntly, there is no absolute loyalty in the NBA, it's all business.

The so-called loyalty is just a business agreement.

Besides, what good does one person, one city do to Li Ang?Li Ang didn't want to be the urban hero of the ugly people.

I'm here to squeeze the wool of capitalism!

To be a hero is also to be our own hero in the international arena.

To sum up, the most critical thing in the early stage is to go to a team that can level up.Of course, it would be best if you can balance winning and leveling.

And Francis has only one request: "I want to be the No. [-] pick, but I don't want to go to Vancouver. Can they let them use the No. [-] pick to give me a name, and then trade me away?"

Barter Stern was speechless. Damn you are a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and there are quite a lot of things in the end.

Is there any part of your request?

After another period of training, Barter Stern returned to the training camp with invitations from several teams to try out.

For Francis, the top three picks are all interested in him.From this point of view, the top three are basically stable.

On Li Ang's side, only the Bulls in the top three invited Li Ang to try out.

But Barter Stern also admitted frankly that the Bulls did not necessarily want to use the second pick to pick Li Ang when they asked Li Ang to try out, but they wanted to use the later No. 16 pick to miss Li Ang.

Don't think that with the addition of the Chinese market, the top three will definitely be stable.

Now everyone is relatively unfamiliar with the Chinese market, so the bonus is really not as big as imagined.

It is true that Chairman Yao became the No. [-] pick because of market factors, but it was also because of his superior strength.

He was selected by the Americans with the No. [-] pick in a serious manner, and the market is just a bonus item.

If the Chinese market is really so magical, how can the Bucks be willing to abandon the UAE in just one year.

If the Chinese market is really so magical, how can Qiqi, a Chinese with top static talent, not even get into the first round.

Market factors do exist, but there is no need to exaggerate them.

Barter Stern directly rejected the Bulls. If he accepted it, it would be a self-depreciation, which is equivalent to telling the entire league: "Lion also feels that he will drop to 16."

And another reason for Barter Stern's rejection of the Bulls is that although the top three teams did not invite Li Ang to try out, Li Ang has become very popular since the fourth overall pick.

Rejecting the Bulls is not afraid that there will be no one behind.

The fourth Clippers invited Li Ang, which surprised Li Ang.

Lord Baylor actually has such a vision?

The fifth Toronto Raptors also sent out an invitation. Oakley said a lot of good things about Li Ang in the Raptors management in the past season, which also made the Raptors pay more attention to Li Ang's performance.

The Cavaliers with the eighth pick naturally also sent an invitation. They very much hope that Li Ang can return to Kecun to play hometown basketball and build a new countryside.

Li Ang is very popular in Kecun. Letting Li Ang go can stimulate both the local market and the Chinese market.

This year, Kecun holds the eighth and No.11 lottery picks. They want to win Li Ang and Duke's top scorer Trajan Langdon at the same time to form a combination of hopeful stars.

Langton shot wildly, and Li Ang grabbed wildly.

The combination of these two men can't even point to the championship?

Teams such as the Phoenix Suns, Atlanta Hawks and Timberwolves also sent invitations to Li Ang.

Just to be on the safe side, Matt Stern still asked Li Ang to go, in case the Raptors and Cavaliers suddenly had a brain twitch and did not choose Li Ang, and other teams had their backs.

For the team's individual trial training, Barter Stern suggested that Li Ang go to wherever he could.

But in the joint trial training in Chicago, he suggested to Li Ang not to join in the fun.

The joint trial training is actually equivalent to a large-scale recruitment site.

If you're sure to put up an amazing performance in the combine, it will undoubtedly improve your pick.

For example, if Li Ang can suddenly shoot well in the joint trial training, then it is not an exaggeration for Li Ang to become the No. [-] pick.

But Li Ang doesn't have this ability now, everyone is already aware of his strengths and weaknesses, and he can't show anything new after going to the trial training, and it is unlikely that he will be promoted.

And if Li Ang's condition is not good during the joint trial training, not only will he not be able to improve his pick, but there may even be a risk of overturning.

Li Ang quite agrees with this, because when he was watching football in his previous life, he knew many stars who were overturned because of the joint trial training.

For example, Thompson, on the day of his joint trial training, he only made 25 of 9 shots in the three-point test because of his poor hands.

Don't look at 25 of 9 shots, 36% of the three-pointers are already very strong.But this is shooting in training, and the requirements for shooting in actual combat are different.

Don't you see those top shooters who shoot 100 three-pointers in training and only miss a few.

Thompson's three-point performance that day was the worst of all the participating guards!

As a shooter, he overturned in the three-point test, which somewhat affected Ah Tang's selection.

On the contrary, Jimmy Butler, he made 25 of 18 shots in the three-point test, which is a big surprise.

This allowed the short Jebao to quickly jump from a second-round pick to the first round, and was eventually won by the Bulls.

Of course, it turns out that they were cheated. Butler played hard and shot hard.

It is said that the Bulls reported to the police, but Butler could not be convicted of fraud due to insufficient evidence.

Otherwise, you have to go to the bureau to sign.

To sum up, since Li Ang can't show a more surprising performance in the joint trial training, then don't waste time.

Go directly to the trial training alone, and let those who want to know about Li Ang know about Li Ang's situation.

As for Francis, Barter Stern hoped that he would go to Chicago to walk around and show his ability to shoot outside the NBA three-point line.

If the grades are good, you really have a chance to compete for the top spot.

In this way, Leon and Francis embarked on different trial training trips.

At the first stop, Barter Stern took Li Ang to Los Angeles.

But when we got there, we found out that the Clippers not only invited Li Ang, but also Odom at the same time!

There is no doubt that the Clippers just want to choose between Odom and Leon.The most direct way is to put them together and compare them at the same time.

When Odom saw Li Ang, he was shocked and sweated profusely.

This fucking... haunts!
