Chapter 1, Sign up for the draft?

Next Chapter

May 11th, 2009, 8 a.m.!

University of Washington.

An ordinary campus basketball court.

It's too early.

It's deserted!!

There was only one slightly lonely man slapping the ball on the field.

"I'm your little red apple"

"Dear girl, will you love me"

"I want to say to you"

"You are the most beautiful flower"

"I'd like to spend Valentine's Day every day"

.....

This song "Little Apple", which does not belong to this era, hummed out from the mouth of this handsome Asian guy who is nearly 2 meters tall, has obvious muscle lines on his arms, and looks a little immature.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Click!"

This is the sound of basketballs and basketball shoes in close contact with the floor.

Box !!!

.....

Big Windmill !!

......

Tomahawk Split!

......

Turn 360 degrees!

......

Once!

Twice!

Three times!!

......

He seemed to be tireless, and seemed to do it with great ease.

It's more than one level higher than the slam dunk in the CBA All-Star Game.

He's wreaking havoc on the basket again and again!!

He's been training here for 1 hour, and it's a bit hot and it's making him sweat.

......

“GEE GEE.....”

After detaining it for a while, the mobile phone placed under the basketball hoop rang.

He stopped himself from continuing to ramble the basket like crazy.

Walked under the basketball hoop and picked up my phone!

As soon as the phone is connected.

On the other side, there was a roar of a man's bass in American English.

"Xue, you now, immediately, immediately give me a plane to Chicago to participate in tomorrow's joint trial, for this place, I have paid a great price, this is your last chance to prove yourself! If you haven't been invited to a tryout yet, that's the end of our partnership. ”

"Tom, OK! OK! I see, don't be so grumpy, you have to believe in my talent, you just saw it the other day!! I'm definitely going to get into the NBA. ”

"Fack, don't talk about your talent, no matter how talented, I believe you, but TM those team general managers and scouts don't believe that you, a Chinese, can play defender, your data is too miserable, they think that Chinese can only play center!! If you're 30 centimeters taller, with your muscles and body, I'll definitely be able to get you into the first round!! ”

"Hehe, you don't need to grow that tall, you know, in fact, I'm about the same height as Kobe Bryant and Michael, and I'll definitely be able to reach their achievements in the future, and it's not difficult for me to get into the first round."

"Xue, your self-confidence and competitiveness can indeed be compared with Kobe and Michael, but you also have to recognize the reality, you don't have Kobe and Michael's reputation, I sent your training videos to the general managers of 30 teams in the league, even Morey, who has always been friendly to Chinese, is not much interested in you, which is very sad."

"Could they not have seen the video?" Xue Ding asked suspiciously.

"No way, I've sent it to their mailbox." Tom replied categorically.

"Well, they're all blind and they're going to miss out on a genius." Xue Ding didn't suspect anything, and still said confidently.

"Well, you're right, they're all blind, but I'm telling you, the draft is up to these blind people, and it's up to them whether you can be selected or not."

"Hmph, wait, I'll prove to everyone that I'm a genius, see you tomorrow in Chicago!"

“OK! See you tomorrow. ”

Xue Ding hung up the phone.

Then Xue Ding's eyes looked at the basket motionless!!

When Xue Ding was playing 2K 10 days ago, his soul pierced into this basketball boy who was also named "Xue Ding".

Of course.

There is also a thing called the 2K system that I brought with me when I crossed over.

There is also the talent that this system rewards for a certain star.

Crossing can happen like this.

It's not so unusual to have a system.

After a few days of adaptation, Xue Ding accepted all this calmly.

Since you can't change it, try to blend in.

Xue Ding began to accept all the memories of Xue Ding in this world.

Xue Ding of this world is a freshman at the University of Washington, and his identity is also the 12th member of an ordinary varsity team of huskies.

The 12th man means players who are out of the rotation.

This year's Eskimos won the Pacific 10 regular season and reached the NCAA round of 64.

However, everything about basketball at the University of Washington has nothing to do with Xue Ding.

In March Madness.

Xue Ding didn't appear, and he could only watch as the Huskies lost to Boston University in the first knockout game!!

With regret, Xue Ding said goodbye to all his school teammates.

He then announced his retirement from the campus basketball team.

Then Xue Ding surprised everyone and signed up for the NBA draft.

Of course, no one took Xue Ding's registration seriously.

Most of the teammates on the school team also thought that this was the last struggle of this yellow-skinned teammate with little talent.

As they understand it.

Xue Ding signed up for the draft, just for a name.

What's the name?

"Brother Ding also participated in the NBA draft, but unfortunately, it was just a little bit worse and he was not selected."

What a pretending paragraph.

As long as it comes to the NBA.

When it comes to the draft.

They think they can blow a wave when they take it back to their hometown in China.

They were also sure that Xue Ding would not be chosen.

Because this year's University of Washington's No. 1 star small forward Jackson couldn't be drafted in the second round.

As for Thomas, who has a strong scoring ability, only 175, how can there be a team to choose?

Thomas and Jackson have no hope of entering the NBA, so why was Xue Ding selected for this water dispenser on the bench? Signing up is probably for fun.

....

Xue Ding in this world naturally didn't participate in the draft for some ghost name.

He just wanted to fulfill one of his dreams.

Although this dream is unattainable and almost impossible to achieve, he wants to tell himself, tell himself that he has been training hard for more than ten years, and he has worked hard!!

No regrets!!

The NBA has historically not had too many requirements for players to sign up for the draft.

A college player who has been at least one year old is fine, but it is really not so easy to be selected by the NBA team, after all, the NBA only has 30 teams and a total of 60 people, and there are so many people who play basketball in the world.

People who don't have this confidence won't sign up.

Xue Ding in this world has always been a very confident person since he was a child.

His self-confidence comes from the almost invincible strength in China from childhood to adulthood.

He is 196cm tall and weighs 92 kg, playing the position of point guard, dribbling skillfully, and shooting is okay.

Almost all of his peers are tyrannical by him!!

Of course.

The tyranny of his peers by his talent only stops at home!

In high school, he did not choose to enter the professional echelon of the CBA, but chose to go to the United States.

He wants to hit the NBA more than the CBA

But after coming to the United States, Xue Ding's talent returned to ordinary.

A lot of blacks jumped higher and faster than him....

If he makes the same layup as in China, he will be covered by a guard who is shorter than him in minutes, and Isaiah Thomas once gave him a big hat.

If the same dribble hits the basket, he'll be knocked off...

His basic skills are not as good as he imagined.

Within a month of coming to the United States, Xue Ding's self-confidence was impacted.

In order to improve himself, he trained hard every day and spent a whole year polishing his basic skills.

Xue Ding works harder than everyone in the school team!!

Including that Isaiah Thomas.

It's a pity.

The talent gap has become a difficulty in front of him!!

In addition to his height and reach, his other talents are far from Thomas.

This is also the main reason why Xue Ding's progress has not been obvious since he entered the university.

Talent is so important for playing basketball.

Talent is far from talking about static things like height and weight, but also many, many dynamic and conscious things.

These gaps are not something that can be overcome by hard work!

This has become a moat for Xue Ding to enter the professional basketball world.

The same level of effort is meaningful!

This draft is more just Xue Ding's order to give himself an explanation, the draft failed, he just can't play NCAA anymore, he also broke his basketball dream, and is ready to continue studying quietly!!

Xue Ding, who crossed over, was also very confident, because he brought the talent he had always dreamed of.

Therefore, the current Xue Ding really attaches importance to the draft, and it is not as simple as just giving himself pride.

With talent, he has hope of making it to the NBA!!

For the draft.

A week ago, Xue Ding invited Jackson to a meal and got the phone number of Tom, an agent he knew, from Jackson, a superstar at the University of Washington.
