The joint trial venue is the Exploration Multi-purpose Stadium on West Harrison Street, downtown Chicago. This stadium is a famous place for sports training, rehabilitation and events in the United States.

In the northeast of the multi-purpose gymnasium, there is a Chicago landmark building, the NBA Bulls' home court, Chicago United Center, which is less than ten minutes' drive away.

When Li Rong arrived at the multi-functional gymnasium, there were at least hundreds of media reporters waiting outside.

The first two days of the joint trial training were completely open to the media, and the time afterwards would be completely closed, so the media will seize the two days to interview the players.

When Li Rong entered the venue, he had already seen many familiar faces, including Florida Trident Noah, Horford, Brewer, Maryland University Turtle defender Strobery, North Carolina center forward Brandon Wright, etc. These were all matched before.

There are also Oden, Durant, Mike Conley, Jeff Green, etc. who have never met, all of whom have long been famous in the United States.

Yi Jianlian came to the United States alone this time, and seemed quite introverted, with only his translator Matt next to him.

The schedule for the first two days was the body side and various single tests, as well as some strange small projects.

In the side of the body, Oden is always the most eye-catching existence. He is 2.10 meters tall, 2.13 meters tall in shoes, 117 kilograms, and has a wingspan of 2.24 meters. His perfect center figure has an 81 cm jump in place.

Relatively speaking, Durant, who was once bright with Oden, was not so dazzling. He was 2.06 meters tall, 2.10 meters tall in shoes, 97 kg, and his wingspan was 2.24 meters, but he jumped in place only 66 cm.

Yi Jianlian's physical test data is very good. He is 2.11 meters tall in naked feet, 2.13 meters tall in shoes, 111 kilograms in weight, 2.22 meters, and bounces in place 78 cm.

Li Rong's physical test data is relatively average, with bare feet 2 meters 04, he is 2 meters 06 in shoes, weighs 101 kilograms, wingspan 2 meters 10, and bounces in place 68 cm slightly stronger than Durant.

However, this data is almost the worst level, which is worse than many centers.

His performance in the next few events was also very average, with a sprint in 3/4 and a return run in the penalty area even worse than the white center Hawys of the University of Washington.

Fortunately, Durant is also the weird guy. His penalty area run is ranked last among everyone, with a slightly better sprint in the 3/4 sprint, and second to last.

Durant's performance was ruthlessly ridiculed by all body side coaches, which annoyed him.

What's even less shameful is that Durant couldn't lift the 84 kilogram barbell during the bench press, so his bench press data was 0 times.

Li Rong performed well in the bench press segment. The 84 kg bench press data was 14 times, and he was ranked in the middle and upper reaches among everyone.

The most exaggerated thing is Horford, whose bench press statistics are 20 times, ranking first among all rookies without any suspense.

"Shit, joint trial training is simply a pool of shit." Durant, who came out of the power room, said to everyone, "Give me a basketball so that they can see how good I am."

The next part is what Li Rong is good at. He made 86 of 100 shots in the three-point shooting test, ranking first among everyone.

The worst shooting performance was Strobery, who made only 31 of 100 shots. You should know that this is a completely open shooting test.

This hit rate is not even comparable to many amateur players, and the representatives of each team shook their heads repeatedly.

With the joint trial progressing, the NBA's draw ceremony this year was also completed on the 23rd.

What is surprising is that the draw results this year are extremely chaotic. The bottom three Grizzlies, Celtics, and Bucks all fell out of the top three in actual draws. Instead, the Portland Trail Blazers, who ranked sixth from the bottom in the winning rate, became the biggest winner and won the No. 1 pick in this draw ceremony.

Seattle Supersonics, which ranked fifth in winning rate, won the second draw, and Atlanta Hawks, whose winning rate was fourth from the bottom, also rose by one pick than expected and got the Tanhua lottery.

For Durant, the two teams that Oden tried hard to play hard, Grizzlies and Celtics only won the fourth and fifth picks respectively.

The teams that determined the signing position began to issue separate trial invitations to each rookie in the joint trial.

Li Rong received separate trial invitations from the Indiana Pacers, Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets respectively.

As Li Rong said, the Pacers traded Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson and others this season, but their record still did not improve. They finally achieved only 35 wins and 47 losses and missed the playoffs. This was the first time the team missed the playoffs in nearly 10 years.

O'Neal Jr.'s performance has declined significantly this season. Although he can still contribute 19.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, close to 2010, as an inside player, his shooting percentage is only 43.6%.

Rumors are said that Pacers management is considering sending O'Neal away for reconstruction.

They straightened Danny Granger as the team's starting small forward in the middle of the season. Granger performed well, averaged 13.9 points per game and shot 38% of the three-point shooting percentage.

The Pacers also traded from the Warriors in the mid-season with Mike Dunleavy. If Li Rong is selected by the Pacers, he can only start from the team's third substitute small forward. Moreover, they only have a second-round pick with 37 pick in the draft. Unless they make a trade, it will be difficult for Li Rong to slide to that position with his current draft market.

He set a goal for himself in the draft or was selected in the first round. Even at the end of the first round, he would have at least a two-year guarantee contract.

But it is hard to say that it slips into the second round. Even if it is selected by a certain team, it is possible that the team's offer will not be received, and the second round pick contract is not as secure as the first round pick.

Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets hold 18th and 26th picks respectively this year, but their forward line is not short of people. What the Warriors lack is the inside line, and what the Rockets need to make up for is the shortcomings in point guards.

Among these teams, he is actually the Spurs. They are currently leading the Utah Jazz 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals and are likely to win this year's NBA championship.

Moreover, the Spurs' starting small forward Bruce Bowen is already 36 years old this year. Although his defense is still excellent, he can only contribute 6 points per game. They urgently need a candidate who can take on the starting small forward position in the future.

The Spurs had the No. 28 pick at this year's draft and are also the team that is most likely to choose Li Rong in draft simulations on many websites.

The Spurs have been praised both in the management and coaching staff in recent years, and head coach Popovich is also considered one of the top coaches in the league.
