Chapter 17: The Conversation (Part II)
"Successful pros?" Tang Shuai's answer exceeded Su Mei's expectations, she looked at the marginal player in front of her in surprise, who she had hardly paid much attention to, and for the first time, she suddenly felt that it was not the same as the person she imagined.
"Choosing basketball is either to become a basketball coach or to become a professional player, and the coach chooses the former, and I want to try the latter." Tang Shuai smiled and said.
Su Mei stared at Tang Shuai for a while, and found that she couldn't see through it, she continued: "After the game yesterday, two people came to me. ”
Two people? The two he saw?
Su Mei continued: "One of them is the assistant general manager of the CBA team Tongxi, named Zhang Jiren, and the other is an American, at your age, maybe you have seen it when you watched the game, Nahula, the player who played in the Nuggets and Mavericks before." ”
"Nahura?" Tang Shuai suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that his back was a little familiar at that time! Nahura has really watched playing, at that time because Iverson went to the Nuggets, he followed the Nuggets, and the Mexican, he watched play for two years!
Su Mei stared at Tang Shuai with her eyes and said, "He is now a scout for the Mavericks, and he came to me because of you." ”
"Uh...... Because I? Tang Shuai was a little caught off guard.
Su Mei nodded and continued: "He wants to invite you to a draft training camp, if you are lucky, you may be selected by the Mavericks in the draft this year or later, such an opportunity is very rare." ”
"I ...... Chance to be chosen?! Tang Shuai's face was shocked, although he had thought about the NBA, but it was all something that had not been skimmed yet, but Su Mei now told him that he had a chance to be selected by the NBA team, and all this came too quickly for him.
"Don't be too happy, it's just an opportunity, if you guess correctly, Zhao Hao, and other players who Nahura thinks meet his requirements, will appear in this training camp, it's not easy to stay, and even if you perform the best, the Mavericks won't necessarily choose, this is the NBA." Su Mei reminded.
I see.
Tang Shuai nodded and said, "Coach, I'm willing to go, even if it's one in ten thousand, I'll give it a try." ”
Su Mei took out Nahula's business card at this time, handed it to him, and said: "Before leaving, Zhang Jiren told me privately that if the Mavericks decide to choose you, you can consider playing in the CBA for a year first, which will be a transition for you to improve your strength and adapt to the professional game." ”
The Tongxi team is also ready to choose him?
No, Su Mei said that if the Mavericks decided to choose him, the calculation behind this was probably to enhance the popularity of the team, after all, if he really played in Tongxi for a year and then was selected, it would be equivalent to a player cultivated by Tongxi.
He took the business card, looked at Su Mei and said, "Coach, what is your suggestion?" ”
"Whether you go to the Tongxi team or not, I think if you really have a chance, you should still play in the CBA for a year, after all, your current confrontation intensity is too far from the NBA, even if you are selected, the rank cannot be high, and if you sign a contract that is not guaranteed, it will be very difficult to stay, and once you are cut, it will be even more difficult to go to the NBA again."
Tang Shuai nodded, what Su Mei said did make sense, he continued: "Coach, I will think about it carefully, this training camp is an opportunity, I will work hard to fight for it." ”
"Then you work hard, I'll wait for your good news." Su Mei stood up after speaking.
Tang Shuai also nodded and stood up.
The two walked to the door of the gymnasium and separated, Tang Shuai took out Nahula's business card and looked at it again, the back of the business card wrote the date and location of the training camp, April 20~22, Huanglong Gymnasium.
It's only the 1st today, which means that there are still about twenty days left before the start of the training camp.
Twenty days should be enough for him to adjust and train.
He smiled, put away his business card, put his bag on his back, and prepared to go back to the dormitory.
"Come and have a look, take a look, participate in the Coca-Cola Challenge, have a chance to win the Yao Ming training camp, and the students who want to come over quickly!"
The gymnasium is next to the north school gate, opposite is a small activity center, there is a large open space in the middle, because it is next to the north school gate, and students from the dormitory to the school, most of them enter from this gate, so when doing any activities, they will choose to do this open space.
Because I came to the gymnasium from the other side before, I didn't notice the situation in the open space, and then I heard shouts and saw that Coca-Cola was doing activities outside, and a lot of students had gathered, and the host was still there with the microphone to solicit students.
He glanced at it, this kind of event was all for publicity, and he didn't want to participate, so he was ready to leave.
"The classmates came to take a look, here are some shooting games, and the classmates who want to win dolls for their girlfriends are coming over quickly!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't win, as long as you participate in our game, you can get a 310ml bottle of original Coca-Cola, come soon!"
"There will be a three-point shooting contest in the future, and the winner will get the opportunity to participate in Yao Ming's training camp.
The host over there was still working hard to promote, and Tang Shuai, who was walking, suddenly stopped.
Yao Ming training camp?
Yao?
A peculiar idea crossed his mind like lightning, Yao Ming had retired as early as 11 years, judging from the exposure several times, the body was very out of shape, and the strength was definitely not as good as before, if you participate in this training camp and find a chance to fight with Yao Ming, does it mean that it is possible to get his skill package?
That's Yao Ming...... The undisputed first person in Chinese basketball, the former first center in the NBA.
His heart was stirring, and he walked over to the event.
Campus love has long been common in college, because there are girls' favorite dolls in the prizes, and there are many male and female students in love gathered around at this time, and the scene is very lively.
He walked over, took a few looks, and walked straight to the registration office for the three-point contest.
Compared to other places where mini-games are played, it is obviously much more deserted, with only one man sitting behind a table, playing intently on his phone.
He walked to the table, coughed twice, and said, "Is the three-point contest here?" ”
The boy looked up at him, then put his eyes on his phone again, and said, "The form is there, just write it down as required." ”
Tang Shuai looked at the boy's mobile phone, it turned out that he was playing a game, he took the registration form and looked at it, the registration form was very simple, there were only three items: name, school and contact number.
glanced at the person who had already written the registration form, and there was actually an acquaintance, Yuan Fei, who also signed up for this.
He wrote down his message, looked at the game time, it was in the afternoon, put the form down, and prepared to leave.
"Tang Shuai, you are also here!"
At that moment, a female voice came from behind him.
