After the Blue Devils stepped on the court, Sun Yi happened to meet his roommate Kevin Brown at the McDonald's All-Star Game in San Diego. Durant.

"Hey! Kevin, long time no see! Don't you miss your friends at all? Why didn't you even make a phone call when you went to college? When he met a friend he hadn't seen for almost a year, Sun Yi looked very happy, and he made a rare joke about the other party.

And Durant is also very cooperative, with a twisted expression like a big boy who stole the neighbor's apple. As if remembering something, he waved his hand again and again: "No, it's not what you said." From the schoolbag on his shoulder, he took out his mobile phone and continued: "I accidentally lost my mobile phone, and your contact information is gone."

"Damn! Don't be so nervous. I found that you were lucky to have someone pass you wherever you went. Sun Yi looked at the little point guard not far away who was laughing with his teammates, and his teammate D.J. Augustine, who had been in the high school All-Star Game.

"Oh yes. D.J is a brilliant guy. Durant admired his teammate, who was averaging seven assists per game, "Still, I feel most comfortable playing together." ”

Hearing his friend's compliment, Sun Yi patted the other party's shoulder and said with a straight face: "Kevin, if you really are on the same team as me, I'm afraid your average score per game is not the current 27 points, but 17 points, haha!" ”

"So what, no team can stand up to us joining forces, like we did with the West Troop in the high school All-Star Game." I didn't expect my joke to attract such a serious answer from my friend. "Kevin, we may meet in a few days, I hope you don't disappoint me then."

If Duke and the University of Texas make it through the first two rounds, they will face off in the round of 16 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on March 15.

"No problem! Oh yes. There's something I'd like to ask you? Durant pulled Sun Yi aside, looked at the surrounding situation, and said a little mysteriously: "I'm going to participate in the NBA draft today, what about you?" Do you want to be together? ”

After hearing the news, Sun Yi opened his mouth wide in surprise. "Isn't it, you've made a decision so quickly?"

"The NBA is my dream, and I once promised someone to sit in the 'little green room' with me and see which lucky team picked me. However, Krieger ......" Durant suddenly choked up when he said this, and it turned out that his childhood basketball coach Charles Murphy was a kid. Craig, who was mistakenly killed during a mediation dispute.

After listening to his friend's story, Sun Yi silently put his arm around the other party's shoulder, and waited for Durant's emotions to calm down before he spoke: "Kevin, the NBA is also my goal." However, I'm more focused on the next games for the Blues. And I'm enjoying it very much now, pure and passionate. ”

"Well, when you decide to participate in the draft, you must let me know. I hope to be with my good friends and participate in that grand event. ”

"No problem, it's a deal!"

……

On March 15, Duke University, the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, faced Eastern Kentucky University to begin their 06-07 NCAA national round of 64 run.

On the day of the game, many of the more than 10,000 fans in attendance were Wake Forest University students, and most of them chose to cheer for the Duke Blue Devils, who have superstar Sun Yi.

Eastern Kentucky University's limited strength, coupled with the disadvantages of 'playing away', only resisted for 30 minutes and was defeated.

85-67, Duke University successfully passed the first round test. China's Sun Yi still performed well, scoring a team-high 28 points and having seven rebounds and five assists under the screams of countless girls. However, while his teammates were basking in the joy of victory, he reflected on the frantic defensive intensity of his opponents in this game. As the focus of Eastern Kentucky University's care, Sun Yi has been subjected to extremely frequent physical contact by defenders both with and without the ball. The whole game, he felt like he was playing with a man on his back. Although the team won by a big margin, at the end of the game, he seemed to feel less tired from the game against his arch-rival North Carolina as he was today. Under this intensity of confrontation, his shooting percentage has also dropped significantly. 9-of-20 shooting, 3-of-7 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws. You must know that he shot 53% from the field and 45% from three-point range in the regular season of the ACC league.

Two days later, Duke University took on Michigan State University, which eliminated Marquette University. After Sun Yi deliberately reduced some unreasonable shots, the shooting rate rebounded to a certain extent. He scored 22 points on 7-of-14 shooting, including 4-of-6 three-pointers, to lead the Blue Devils to defeat their opponents and enter the Sweet 16.

Kevin, who had promised Sun Yi that he would meet in the round of 16. Durant broke his promise. In the University of Texas and USC games, Durant's brilliance was completely overshadowed by the brilliant play of another talented player. Nick. Young, this year is his third season in college. As an outside player averaging 18 points per game, he is shooting an astonishing 52.5 percent from the field, which is even higher than many interior players, considering that Blue Devils captain Mike Roberts is just over 50 percent shooting this season. And Nick. Young's three-point shot is also very accurate, with a four-and-a-half percent accuracy. In the direct confrontation with Durant, the guy from Los Angeles scored 36 points in front of the opponent. It seems that in another time and space, Nick, nicknamed the "singles king". Yang does have the capital to 'fight wildly'. Plus the tower. Gibson and Gabe. With the firepower of Pruitt's (Green Army fans should know this player), USC, the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, defeated the University of Texas, which has Durant and Augustine, 87-68.

Although losing the chance to win the NCAA championship made Kevin. Durant was somewhat disappointed. But in the heart of this Washington guy, he is even more looking forward to the NBA draft in Madison Square Square in New York in three months......

After a nearly week-long hiatus, the NCAA Round of 16 playoffs resumed on March 23. The four teams that competed in the Eastern Conference playoffs moved to the East Rutherford Army Arena.

The first match to be played was played by No. 2 seed Georgetown University against No. 6 seed Vanderbilt University. Green made a layup with two seconds left in the game to take a narrow 66-65 run to advance to the division finals.

Sun Yi and Nick. Young's confrontation became the main theme of another game. The Chinese players who aim to avenge their friends in this game have rediscovered the inspiration of the defensive master who has been lost for a long time. Although he had many insights into the opponent's shooting rhythm in advance, he was still hit by the fiery Nick. Young finished with 26 points on 8-of-17 shooting. However, it is clear that the opponent's defense is even more unbearable. Sun Yi scored a game-high 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds.

On March 25, the high-profile NCAA Eastern Conference Finals were staged between Duke University and Georgetown University. This is their second meeting of the season, and both teams are well aware of the characteristics of their opponents.

As soon as the game began, the two teams began to fight in close quarters as soon as they came up. Georgetown University leveraged Jeff. Green's individual ability has slammed into the Blues' biggest weakness at small forward, while Duke is constantly looking for opportunities on the perimeter.

In the first half of the game, the two teams played with 40 draws. At halftime, Coach K adjusted the team's tactics. Let the captain of the team, McRoberts, get rid of the entanglement of the opponent's tall center Hibbert, and pull to the high position to organize the team's attack. Sun Yi, on the other hand, will perform more air cutting tasks, preferably causing fouls on opponents' interior players. If Georgetown loses its interior barrier, then victory becomes a matter of course for the Blues.

In fact, Sun Yi did not feel good about shooting on the outside under the focus of the opponent in this game. Even his best three-point shooting was only 1-of-6 shooting.

In the second half, after the coach's adjustments, the Blue Devils repeatedly used team cooperation to create many breakthrough opportunities. In particular, the No. 8 player repeatedly burst into the penalty area and caused fouls by the opponent.

When the game reached the 36th minute, Georgetown University's inside gate Hibbert finally went down with five fouls under the constant onslaught of the opponent. At this point, Duke University, which had achieved its tactical goals, firmly controlled the situation on the field.

96-84, the Duke Blue Devils reached the national semi-finals again after six years after winning the championship in 2001. They will face last year's defending champion, the University of Florida, in a week later at the 70,000-seat arena in Atlanta.

On March 27, in the Associated Press's National College Player of the Year Poll voted by national sports reporters, Sun Yi, a Chinese player who led Duke University to the national semifinals, beat his friend Durant to become the 2007 College Player of the Year.

Good things come in pairs, and a day later, happiness once again befell this 19-year-old Chinese guy. The NCAA Naismith Award, which was awarded by college coaches, sports media and former award-winning players, was won by Sun Yi, a key player on the Duke University Blue Devils.

This time, he finally defeated his opponent who once snatched the high school Naismith Award. Oden. Although, in Oden and Mike. Under Conley's leadership, Ohio State also made it to the top four in the country. But because of injuries, it has affected this interior talent player who has been praised by countless scouts as once in 20 years.

"Dude, what the hell are you thinking? Don't you care about the draft at all? Wang Dashao rarely complained to his friends with a positive face.

"The day after tomorrow is the semi-finals, I really don't have time to think about it! When this year's competition is over, it's never too late to think about it. "Many people have asked him this question recently, like Glenn, Rose, Senior Yu Lingfeng and so on.

"Hey, you really think the NBA is owned by your family, you can go whenever you want!" Wang Bin was obviously amused by his friend's answer. "If you're going to go to the draft, you have to find a reliable agent. There are still a bunch of troubles in the back, and if you don't prepare in advance, you may not be too late to participate when you want to. ”

"Yo he! What year did you participate in the NBA Draft? Sun Yi, who was thinking about the game, obviously didn't want to talk about this issue more.

Alas! My own brother. Whether you participate or not, you will give me a word of approval. Otherwise, how can I deal with my father. Seeing that his friend had not expressed his position on participating in the draft, Wang Bin muttered anxiously in his heart.

It turned out that since Wang Dashao saw the scene of those American classmates frantically pursuing Sun Yi at Cameron Arena, he suddenly had an idea. Before Nike signed Jordan, it was an average sporting goods company. But look at the present, not only dominating the American market, but also extending its tentacles to the world, and even the European football circle controlled by Adidas has been eaten up by this once small workshop. If he starts a sporting goods company, with his relationship with Sun Yi, he will use friendship and money at the same time, even if he gives his own body, as long as he can sign this friend with unlimited potential.

Wang Dashao, who couldn't hide things in his heart, quickly told his father on the other side of the ocean about his thoughts. In the past two years, Wang Weiming, who returned to China to invest in real estate, has really made a small fortune. Although the real estate industry is hot, the competition is also becoming more and more fierce. This kind of 'competition' is not a showdown in the shopping mall, but a shortcut to bribe by relationship. Physically and mentally exhausted, he already has the intention of changing careers to do some business.

Unexpectedly, a phone call from his son made him pause. With the sustained economic growth of the motherland, the people's living standards are getting higher and higher. Regardless of whether Sun Yi will cooperate with him after becoming a professional player. Judging from the prospects of this market alone, it is not difficult to imagine that China will become the largest consumer of sports goods in the future. Because, here are the world's largest number of people who have entered a well-off life.

After seeing the bright prospects, Wang Weimin, who was ready to devote himself to the sporting goods industry, went directly to Fuhai Province to investigate, because it is the largest sporting goods OEM base in China. With more than ten years of OEM experience, we have cultivated a large number of talents and enterprises in the sporting goods manufacturing industry. Coupled with relatively low labor and material costs, acquiring a ready-made business is definitely a great option.

After visiting and inspecting hundreds of large and small sports shoe factories in Jinshi and Quan, in December 2006, Wang Weimin invested 10 million yuan to acquire two medium-sized shoe enterprises next to each other, plus the planning of new factories, updated equipment and hired a sneaker design team from Europe with high salaries, Boss Wang's career transformation cost a total of no less than 30 million yuan.

"Dad, Sun Yi still hasn't decided whether to participate in the draft this year, do you want me to persuade him again?"

"Xiaobin, you don't need to get involved in business matters. If there are too many interests in the friendship, it will turn sour. All you have to do is let me know as soon as he makes a draft decision. As for the rest of the matter, I will arrange a professional team to contact Sun Yi through normal channels. ”

"Oh, I see."

In fact, Nike and Adidas have been asking through various channels who the agent of the best player in the country is, but the sporting goods giants with huge financial resources and connections have found nothing.

Because, this Chinese guy is wholeheartedly preparing for the NCAA elite semifinals!
