45. The eve of the draft

"Noah, this way, this ......" Brother Teddy beckoned to Sun Ce.

"Bastard, you guy actually live in such a nice place!" Sun Ce looked at the luxurious super five-star hotel where John lived, and was so jealous!

This is a luxury hotel located near the Chinese consulate in New York, located in the prime location of New York Bay, a waterfront river between Manhattan and Newark in New York City......

Today is June 25th, Sun Ce followed Bill Duffy to New York, and after taking makeup photos, he waited for the draft meeting the day after tomorrow.

The so-called makeup photos are wearing sportswear, posing with a ball and playing with the ball.

A non-popular player like Sun Ce is over after one minute of shooting.

After that, Bill Duffy told Sun Ce to pay attention to safety and move freely.

On the afternoon of the 27th, we went to Madison Square Garden together to wait for the "flop", of course, Sun Ce is not a small green house player, and he can't enter the draft site candidates, only in case of hell he is selected in the first round to go on stage, and the second round of the show will be over with a name reading, unless it is a small green house like last year's Deandre Jordan fell from the small green house to the second round.

However, every agent wants their players to be drafted in the first round, which means a guaranteed contract.

Of course, it's not bad to be selected in the second round, it's better than not to be selected.

It's too difficult to get into the NBA if you lose the draft, even if you have the strength, it's difficult, because it's hard to get a chance to perform, the summer league team must give priority to the rookies they selected, and the ball is all for the rookies, and none of the 100 drafts can get a training camp contract, after all, there are some veterans who can get a training camp contract without participating in the summer league, and even if they are selected in the second round, the probability of getting a formal contract is dozens of times higher than that of losing the draft.

After Bill Duffy instructed Sun Ce, he took Terrick Evans to do something else.

Tomorrow, those little green house players will have a game, and this is the last chance for the little green house players to show what they are capable of, and it could have a big impact on the final draft pick.

Evans, as the best rookie that Bill Duffy's agency got this year, is of course what Bill Duffy values the most, and it is still for the sake of personal friends to give a rookie like Sun Ce who has cast a wide net to be signed.

Sun Ce didn't go back to the hotel by himself, and he didn't know a few people, even the dozen or so people in Bill Duffy's company who hit the second wheel didn't have a good relationship with each other, after all, they were competitors to each other.

On the contrary, Evans, who is expected to be selected in the top five or even the top three picks in the draft, has a better attitude towards Sun Ce.

After finishing the makeup photos, Sun Ce followed the address to the hotel where John lived, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became!

Madison Square Garden is also in Manhattan, and it is closer to the Chinese Consulate, but Sun Ce, who is not a small green house player, lives an hour away from Madison Square Garden, and they all live in Brooklyn!

The hotel arranged by the alliance is not bad, and it has chartered a five-star hotel in Brooklyn for all the rookies and agents to live in, but compared with the ultra-luxury hotel in this prime location in front of them, it is obviously very far behind.

"You're living with future NBA stars, and I envy you." John complained.

"What does it mean to live with a future star, this is the future NBA star in front of you!" Sun Ce emphasized.

"Occasional ......" John took Sun Ce into the hotel and returned to his room.

Sun Ce consciously took out a bottle of red wine and a red wine glass from the freezer in the small bar, poured a little and took a sip: "John, I can't enter the scene even if I am selected in the draft, what are you doing here?" ”

"You're also our school's number one basketball star in the second round! If you choose the 27th, buddy will take you to play, this is New York! If you were chosen, what kind of woman would we not be able to take that night? John said the first sentence was nothing, but the latter looked very excited.

Teddy's brother John followed him to New York, of course, waiting for Sun Ce to celebrate after being selected or to take Sun Ce to a wave after he was defeated...... Anyway, regardless of whether Sun Ce was selected or not, the final result of the night was probably about the same.

"Roll on......" Sun Ce threw his credit card and passport to the teddy in front of him, "Help me open a room, I won't go back to that hotel tonight, the guy who lives with me has a fox smell......"

"OK, our future big star, little brother is going to open a room for you...... You don't have to pay for it, my black card can be discounted, and I work hard to be selected! John threw the credit card back to Sun Ce and went to open the room.

Sun Ce looked at John's father-in-law's smirk, paired with the face that looked like Leonardo...... He smiled helplessly and put away his credit card.

"Selected?"

Sun Ce opened the system panel and looked at his latest ability evaluation.

"Comprehensive evaluation C-;

Physical fitness C: speed A+, strength D, endurance C+, bounce C;

Shooting evaluation D:, three-point F, mid-range shot D, layup B+;

Technical evaluation C: Ball control B, passing C+. ”

In more than two months, Sun Ce's strength has changed qualitatively, and in the past ten days, Sun Ce's strength has finally improved from D- to D-level, and there has been more or less progress in other main aspects, but it has not yet reached the point where he can break through the next grade by the system.

This also allowed Sun Ce to understand some things about the systematic evaluation, such as being systematically evaluated as a star of the same level, and the gap between them may be quite large.

Of course, although the progress is huge, Sun Ce's strength is not as good as Dragic, who was beaten by him more than two months ago, and perhaps not even as good as when Dragic first entered the NBA.

Although Sun Ce has made very rapid progress in the past two months, it is because his strength was very poor at the beginning, and there is a little improvement that is obvious, with Nash's guidance for nearly a month, and his own efforts beyond ordinary people and even Nash's surprise, he barely reached the edge of the NBA.

Since the average level of the NBA is a C level, Sun Ce estimates that there should also be a D level water cooler manager.

During this time, in addition to training and waiting for the draft to come, he can only think about it when he is idle, he estimates that the F level should barely be able to play, the E level is probably a good level among amateur players, the D level has the opportunity to play in the low-level professional league or a good level in the NCAA, and there will be D-level players in the NBA occasionally......

This is just Sun Ce's own approximate estimate, when he had the opportunity to enter the NCAA Division II League, his ability evaluation was only D-.

Although the strength of the C-level is not strong, it is barely considered a C-level, Sun Ce feels a little hope, whether he can be selected or not, he will fight in the summer league!

The more capable he is, the more he can feel the gap with NBA players, and when he first used the Burst of Phases, he felt that Dragic was above the NBA average.

But after his ability became stronger, Sun Ce felt it...... Except for the talented ones like Beasley and Mayo, most people who want to enter the NBA have to work hard beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The more this is the case, the more Sun Ce is looking forward to it!

After all the hard work, how can you not go to the world of the NBA to fight!
