The next day, Mao Dabiao came to Li Tuanjie early in the morning, saying that he wanted to take him to meet the coach of the basketball team in the school.

……

"Old Turner, this is the super basketball genius I told you about imported from China, don't worry, with him, our school will definitely ...... Well, I definitely won't lose so badly again......" Mao Dabiao said embarrassedly.

Li Tuanjie glanced at the coach named Turner in front of him, a typical white uncle, with a semi-bald head shining with oil......

"Haha, I'm finally looking forward to this day, okay! This height is a top basketball player at a glance, great, Mr. Mao, don't worry, I will definitely lead our giraffe team to achieve great results! Old Turner looked at Li Tuanjie with a smile, full of joy.

Li Tuanjie was directly stunned, the Giraffe team? Are you sure you're not teasing me? The name of this team is too arbitrary, isn't it......

Seeing Li Tuanjie's shocked look, Mao Dabiao explained with a smile: "Brother Xiao Li, the name of this team is just a code name, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it, besides, our team name is quite good, giraffe, far-sighted, great!" You have to know that most of the NCAA team names are bizarre, and what is the name of the team...... By the way, it's called the Asphalt Heel Team, do you dare to believe the name of this team? ……”

Asphalt heel team? The level of this team's name is simply against the sky......

(This is the real team name, not a big black fabrication, uh, the full name is the North Carolina Asphalt Heels Team, which is the parent team of the old hooligan Jordan...... Therefore, the level of Dahei's naming is still quite high...... ）

……

After introducing Li Tuanjie to Coach Old Turner, Mao Dabiao left.

Li Tuanjie is not a person who recognizes life, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a good relationship with Xia Longwen, as soon as Mao Dabiao left, he chatted warmly with Coach Old Turner.

At present, the main purpose of Li Tuanjie is to learn more about the team he has joined called the Stanford International Giraffes......

Of course, Li Tuanjie also wants to know more about the NCAA situation, after all, in the current domestic environment, it is really difficult for Li Tuanjie to get detailed information about the NCAA.

……

After some conversation, Li Tuanjie was completely shocked!

Before he came, Li Tuanjie knew that there were 29 teams in the NBA, and the NCAA was the cradle of the NBA, and there would definitely be more teams, but he never expected that there would be so many!

The NCAA has nearly a thousand teams!

What is the concept of a thousand teams?! That means tens of thousands of players!

And how many of these tens of thousands of players can join the NBA every year?

Two rounds of drafts, 60 spots, remove some international players, and then remove some players who have been drafted but the team has not signed, and the NBA will absorb at most 40 NCAA players in a year!

Out of 10,000 people, there are only 40 lucky winners! You can imagine how difficult it is to get into the NBA!

For a moment, Li Tuanjie was a little desperate, originally he knew a little about the NCAA, thinking that there were only dozens of teams in the NCAA, among these dozens of teams, Li Tuanjie was confident that he would come out, and there would definitely be scouts who would pay attention to him at that time!

Now Li Tuanjie doesn't have such strong confidence, what are you kidding, that's nearly a thousand teams!

And, what's even more deadly is that the NCAA men's basketball program is divided into three levels!

The Stanford International Giraffes are the lowest level in the Division 3 league!

The lower the level, the lower the attention it will naturally receive, which means that the chances of Li Tuanjie entering the NBA league are a little lower......

Of course, according to Old Turner, if Li Tuanjie can lead the giraffes to play dazzling results, there will definitely be many scouts who will pay attention, and when the time comes, Li Tuanjie will still have a chance to enter the NBA.

"It's a headache, let's find a chance to ask Bennett at night, anyway, this thing has been mixed in the NBA for many years, and I must know a lot of things......"

……

After the introduction, Coach Turner took Li Tuanjie to meet the current Giraffe players.

How so? The only impression these future teammates give to Lee Tuanjie is that he is short......

Of the ten players, Li Tuanjie visually measured the tallest yellow player, at most 195 centimeters, and most of the rest of the players were around 1.8 meters......

You must know that the scale of Stanford International University is extremely small, with a total of less than 500 registered students, and after removing some of the students who do not come to class at all, there are only two or three hundred people left!

After cutting off half of the girls, there are still more than a hundred men left......

Most of them are the rich second generation or the second generation of officials in Asia, will they focus on playing? Apparently unlikely.

In addition, the Stanford International Giraffes, as a team in the third-tier league, are not eligible for basketball scholarships at all, and naturally there are very few local American players to join.

It can be said that it is not easy for the Giraffes to get together ten players!

The ten players are not very old, they are all young people of eighteen or nineteen, so they got acquainted with each other as soon as they met and enthusiastically introduced themselves to each other.

"Brother Unity, hello, I am also a Chinese, my name is Huang Yongshan, I will give me more advice in the future......"

"Hello bro, my name is Brandon Wright, welcome to the Giraffes."

A Huang Yong-sun and a Brandon Wright are the players who impressed Li Tuanjie the most among these ten players.

After a careful chat, Li Tuanjie found that he and Huang Yongshan are really related, both of them are military families, although Huang Yongshan did not say too much about his family background, but Li Tuanjie can also guess that it is definitely not simple.

As for Brand Wright, a typical black teenager, he is the captain of this giraffe team, only 1.78 meters tall, but he looks extremely strong.

"Okay, boys, Li Tuanjie joins the team today, let's prepare to play a 5V5 full-court training in the team in the afternoon, let everyone know each other's strength first!" Coach Old Turner is very satisfied with Li Tuanjie, so he can't wait to see Li Tuanjie's strength on the court.

"Today is our second year that the Giraffes have joined the NCAA League, and I hope we don't repeat the tragedy of last year, come on, everyone!" The addition of Li Tuanjie has undoubtedly given Turner a lot of confidence, and he is confident that this season will definitely be ...... Well, definitely not as badly as last season......

Last season, the Giraffes played eight games in their divisional league, losing eight games and losing eight games, averaging just 52 points per game and losing by a whopping 27 points per game......

Thinking of the tragedy of last season, the players are embarrassed, and their giraffe team has been recognized as the soft persimmon of their small tertiary league, and anyone can pinch it twice.
