In recent years, more and more Chinese sports brands have become more and more satisfied with developing only locally. With the increasing progress of capital and technology, a large number of domestic sports brands that could only survive in the shadow of Nike and Adi have gained a firm foothold in China. Now they want more than that, domestic brands even want to make a reversal and enter the American market!

Celebrity spokesperson, this is undoubtedly a big boost for a sports brand to succeed. It is precisely because of Adidas' shrinkage in the spokesperson lineup that they have been overwhelmed by Nike in recent years.

Li-Ning, a domestic sports brand, has long hoped to be able to take a share of the U.S. market. Those NBA stars who have already become famous and are in their playing years, Li Ning is naturally difficult to win. So they plan to start with young people, hoping to sign a long-term endorsement contract with a young player. When he grows into a superstar, it is the day of Li Ning's success. Look at Nike, who signed Jordan with the discernment back then, didn't it make a beautiful comeback? This battle has allowed their popularity to continue to this day!

At this time, the "Jordan" in Li Ning's heart is the top pick in this draft. Turner!

In order to evaluate Turner's value, Li Ning has already sent a special team to conduct a comprehensive observation and evaluation of this top candidate. In fact, Li Ning had early contact with Turner. Turner also expressed his interest in working with Li Ning to start his career.

So far, Turner's performance has not disappointed Li Ning. Even John. Wall, a supernova, can't compete with Turner in strength and popularity.

However, after Turner's game ended yesterday, Li Ning's observation team found something different! And this discovery is likely to make huge waves in China!

"Lao Li, see for yourself!" A young man drops a newspaper onto his desk.

The man known as Lao Li put on his eyes, picked up the newspaper and looked at it a few times.

"Butler University 98-66 Ohio State University, Buckeyes lost by 22 points! Turner scored 25 points, but he was still powerless! ”

"Turner's condition is getting better and better, 25 points, which is almost the highest score of any player in the day." Li Yuan, the head of Li Ning's observation team in the United States, put down the all-English newspaper and nodded approvingly. As for the Ohio State University fiasco? Li Yuan didn't care, his target was just Turner, not Turner's team.

"No, no, no, that's not the point, Lao Li. You don't just look at the title, look down and look at the content! The young man picked up the newspaper again and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan glanced at the young man suspiciously, what other information is more important than Turner cutting down beautiful data? Is it possible that a Chinese Jordan can still jump out?

Then, Li Yuan really saw "China Jordan" in the content of the report.

"Butler College No. 1 rookie Yiyang is once again the focus of this game! He had 19 points, 10 assists and 3 steals! Among them, the picture of stealing Turner's one-stop dunk was even selected as the top ten balls in the Big Ten League that day! The rookie from China has secured the Butler University starting point guard position this season, and he has even become a player who can compete with Gordon. Hayward's tactical core on an equal footing! I believe that in the long season to come, there will be more wonderful performances for us! ”

The description of Yiyang ended here, Li Yuan hurriedly searched in his mind, but in the end he was sure that he had never heard of the name Yiyang!

"Chinese playing in the NCAA? Chinese-American! Li Yuan asked the young man.

"The newspaper said he was from China! If it were a Chinese American, they wouldn't write like that! ”

"Hurry up and call HQ and say we have made a new discovery. Domestically, no one knows about this yet? Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have found another way to make money.

"When has China paid attention to the NCAA? None of the Chinese who came to play in the NCAA had good results! If this Yiyang can be played, we have to strike first! ”

"Haha, Evan. Turner, Ah, Evan. Turner, you're a surprise! Li Yuan laughed happily, if he brought two people worthy of signing to Li Ning's headquarters at one time. Promoted to get rich, isn't that still easy to catch?

※※※

It's not just Li Ning, after defeating the Buckeye team led by Turner, Butler University is famous. And Hayward and Yiyang are called "the most terrifying offensive duo" by the media!

"A point guard who can pass well, a small forward who can score everything, plus a captain who is consistent and a center who has a soft hand. The Bulldogs are definitely something to look forward to this season, and of course, the NBA team's scouts are sure to frequent Butler University. Maybe the next NBA star will emerge from this group? ”

"He was so good that his impact on the basket would be a headache for all teams. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if he was just a guard who could hit the basket. The most outstanding feature is that he has always been able to organize the Bulldogs' offense. This guy's passing is always fatal. In Hayward's words, playing next to him, you just have to catch the ball and shoot in the open space! ”

Outside the world, the media have expressed their admiration for Butler University. And Yiyang quickly became one of the star players in the NCAA league.

In just two games, Yiyang has already proven himself in the NCAA league. On campus, Yiyang is also becoming more and more popular.

When Yiyang is in the classroom, there are always many students watching outside his classroom. Every time he walked out of the classroom, he had to work hard, and it was even more difficult than breaking through the defense on the basketball court.

But the boy, who grew up in the slums, was not overwhelmed by this small success, and he knew that he still had a long way to go before he set his goal.

Stevens didn't leave in a hurry after today's practice, he deliberately waited on the basketball court, waiting to see the results of Yiyang's shooting drill.

"Brad, you've really hurt me!" While Stevens was waiting, the team's shooting coach, Burrese, showed up first.

"What's the matter, Burris, that kid is disobedient?" Stevens knows Yiyang's stinky temper, how docile a boy who once threatened to kill Harpy can be.

"You know Brad, I have four kids to take care of. My wife alone would be very busy. Every night after 8 p.m., I have to rush back to take care of the kids. But he just won't go! Burreth began to spit bitterness at Stevens.

Stevens smiled, showing a mouth full of white teeth. This was something he hadn't thought of before.

"Even the Hayward kid, he leaves every day after training. But the latest time he asked me to practice with him until half past ten! I said to him, please, I still have to go home to see the children, don't you have children? ...... Yes, you're a kid yourself. Then you don't have to go on a date with your girlfriend? I think the cheerleading girls like you. As a result, he told me that he was single. I said you can go wherever you want, and we'll do it again tomorrow. He pointed to the hardwood floor and said it was the only place he wanted to stay! Oh my God, he could be the first player in the history of the Bulldogs to drive a coach crazy! Burris shook his head, it's not that he wasn't dedicated, but no one would want to work overtime every day.

It would be fine if Yiyang was a professional player, but as a student player, Burreth really didn't feel at ease to leave Yiyang alone on the training ground. If he had any strengths and weaknesses, Burris could not afford it.

So this honest shooting coach was tortured by Yiyang for more than a week. I didn't have dinner with my family for more than a week, and I didn't see my children before they went to sleep. No one can stand the intensity of such work.

"Hahaha, thank you Berris. I'll talk to him, okay? From today onwards, I promise you can go home every day to take care of your child. Stevens patted Burreth on the shoulder, in fact, Stevens was quite happy to hear the news. Yiyang, an unruly guy, couldn't have imagined that he would be so obsessed with training.

You know, many NCAA stars who come out of the slums will fall quickly after seeing the world of flowers. Not everyone can resist the temptation of fame and fortune. The group of people who can persist until they enter the NBA before falling is already very persevering.

Although the NCAA is not a commercial league on the surface, the student players have never been less involved in their private financial transactions with the outside world.

Just as Stevens and Burris were chatting hotly, Yiyang and Hayward walked out of the basketball court side by side.

Now, Yiyang can chat with Hayward without a word. It seems that in his heart, he has let down his guard against his teammates.

"Coach Stevens! Why are you still here today? Seeing Stevens standing on the sidelines, Hayward was visibly surprised. Yiyang was also surprised, but after he glanced at Stevens, he began to shoot to warm up.

"I want to stay today to see the results of you and Yijialian! The recent training, everything is going well, right? ”

"It went very well! Did you know the coach, Yi's mid-range shooting percentage has improved amazingly! Hayward excitedly shared information with Stevens that belonged to Yiyang. This warm-hearted white striker is happier to see his teammates improve than to see his own.

"What about three-point shooting percentage? I'm talking about the NBA-based three-point shooting percentage. ”

"Forehead ......" said this, Hayward scratched his head, because Yiyang's improvement outside the three-point line is indeed relatively limited.

"Cut, I'll get right sooner or later." Yiyang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Alright, let's start your training. Just do as always, and put your best foot forward. With Stevens out of the court, will he be happy or disappointed by Butler University's two most promising NBA players this year?

Hayward and Yiyang each trained in one half under the leadership of different coaches, and on Hayward's side, the training was already more advanced. Shots in interference, step-back shots, pull-up jump shots, shots after bypassing obstacles, etc., he did it all.

These seemingly basic things actually require a player to put in countless hours to do it well on the basketball court. Not everyone is a monster like O'Neal who can dominate the league without often missing training.

As for Yiyang, his shooting practice is the foundation of the foundation - the fixed-point jumper.

There are two kinds of shooting, which are divided into two types: shooting after receiving the ball and shooting after dribbling, as Hayward said, Yiyang's shooting percentage inside the three-point line has been greatly improved.

Not only did he get rid of his previous irregular shooting moves, but he also slightly increased his shooting speed. If he is fast enough, it will be more difficult for Yiyang to be blocked.

After that, Yiyang's shooting point became outside the three-point line. It's not the three-point line on the NCAA court, it's the NBA three-point line that Burres drew specifically for Yiyang.

Here, Yiyang's hit rate is not so optimistic. He can score several goals in a row and concede more goals in a row. Lack of stability is Yiyang's biggest problem.

After a group of training, Yiyang was already sweating profusely. Don't look at the shooting is a basic action in basketball, which can be repeated continuously for a long time, and it is also quite grinding.

At the end of the first group of training, the performance of Yiyang and Hayward made Stevens quite satisfied. Although Yiyang's three-point shooting has not improved significantly, Stevens knows that Rome was not built in a day. As long as Yiyang continues to maintain this momentum, it will be a matter of time before he progresses.

"Also! Come here! Under the expression of Burreth frowning, Stevens finally beckoned to Yiyang.

"What's wrong?" Yiyang's tone was still cold.

"I heard you train late every day?"

"It's not too late, if it weren't for Coach Burreth going home, I would have liked to practice until twelve o'clock every day." Yiyang replied bluntly.

"It's good to have this kind of hard work, but I want you to go home every day after training at half past eight!" Stevens's tone became tough, he knew that it was useless to deal with a child like Yiyang.

"Excessive training will only make your body doubly tired. Doubling the fatigue will greatly increase your risk of injury. After the injury, hey! It's all gone! Your mom once told me that your dad had to retire because of an injury, and you don't want that to happen to you. Stevens stared at Yiyang, so unquestionable.

Yiyang glared at Stevens at first, but quickly regained his composure. He doesn't like people talking about his late father, but he also knows that the coach is looking out for himself.

"I see, Coach." Yiyang nodded slightly.

"Good, let's go back to training. Coach Burreth also needs to be accompanied by his family, remember, start training on time and finish training on time! Stevens gave Yiyang a thumbs up, and Yiyang trotted back and continued his boring shooting practice.

Burris walked to the sidelines and said thank you to Stevens.

Looking at the troublemakers who were training the field, Burreth couldn't help but smile proudly.

"I promise, this kid will make me famous." Burris stared at Yiyang, his most brilliant student.

"Five years from now, this kid you trained can be worth 50 million dollars!" Stevens clasped his hands, and it seemed that Yiyang's bright future had emerged in front of him......
