Chapter 16: Entering the NBA Draft

Zhang Guan was silent, as if he was thinking. Then he asked: "There should be certain rules for the NBA draft, I'm not a professional player, can I participate?" ”

"As I understand it, the NBA has specific rules for overseas player drafting, and they define an overseas player as any amateur or professional basketball player who has settled outside of the United States. You don't have to be a pro. ”

"What about age? Not overage, right? Zhang Guan then asked.

Zhuge Wenbo shook his head: "No." The NBA stipulates that foreign players who reach the age of 22 are automatically eligible for the draft, and for overseas players under the age of 22, if they want to run, they must be at least 18 years old and must give the NBA written notice 45 days before the draft. ”

"I'm just 22 years old this year, so I don't need to notify the NBA in writing!" Zhang Guan said.

"No, but announcing the news to the public in writing or in the media is tantamount to a disguised notification." Zhuge Wenbo opened his mouth and said.

Zhang Guan fell into deep thought again, he was still weighing the pros and cons.

Zhuge Wenbo waited for a moment and said, "I think you should go to this year's NBA draft, at least it will help us in our current situation." ”

"The current state? What do you mean? Zhang Guan asked.

"Now public opinion and a lot of fans are questioning your eligibility to participate in the men's basketball team, if you participate in the NBA draft and then get selected by the NBA, you can relieve the pressure of public opinion. The NBA is still very influential in the hearts of fans, and being selected by the NBA is also a kind of recognition. At the very least, it can increase the awareness of the media and fans about who you are as a player. Zhuge Wenbo said.

"That's right. But I'm afraid that some people will say that I spend money to buy the draft, or spend money to enter the NBA. Zhang Guan then added: "Just like when I first started playing tennis last year, everyone said that I paid for the Australian Open!" ”

"Not at home. It is not easy for players from our country to enter the NBA, even if they are not well-known, as long as they are selected by the NBA. Public opinion will also be dominated by positive reports, and we don't need to interfere in the guidance of public opinion in this regard, and the Television and Radio Bureau will naturally control it. However, there will definitely be such a thing in the foreign media. Zhuge Wenbo said with a confident smile, and continued: "But I'm not worried at all, I'm sure you will definitely slap them in the face with your grades!" ”

"That's good! Brother Wenbo, I'll trouble you with this matter. I entered this year's NBA Draft. Zhang Guan said.

……

The next day, the news of Zhang Guan's announcement to participate in the 2008 NBA draft spread all over the country.

"Zhang Guan still wants to participate in the NBA draft? Did he really think he was a basketball player? ”

"First entered the men's basketball team, and then participated in the NBA draft, does Zhang Guan really know how to play basketball?"

"Zhang Guan should really know how to play basketball! Otherwise, how can you have the guts to participate in the NBA draft! ”

"You see Zhang Guan's physical fitness is so good. If you go to play basketball, you should be very good. ”

"I think this is hype, is there really a team to choose Zhang Guan?"

"Zhang Guan is such a big star, he will definitely not be untargeted, he should really know how to play basketball. If he didn't know how to play basketball and went to the NBA draft, it would be a big joke. ”

There are all kinds of mixed voices, but this time the trend of public opinion is finally better, and many people think that since Zhang Guan has the confidence to participate in the NBA draft, he should be able to play basketball, maybe basketball is still very good.

Just when the fans were discussing fiercely, the men's basketball team's training camp also began.

The NBA season isn't over yet. Therefore, Da Yao and the United Arab Emirates did not participate in this training camp, while the other 17 people participated on time.

Zhang Guan is not familiar with all the players who participated in the men's basketball training camp, such as roughly speaking, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu and others. Zhang Guan is more familiar, and players such as Li Xiaoxu, Liu Xiaoyu, Ding Jinhui, and Zhou Peng, who are not even young in their twenties, Zhang Guan has hardly dealt with them.

In the eyes of these young players, Zhang Guan is their idol. Competitors again.

Four years ago, when Zhang Guan won the 100-meter sprint championship at the Athens Olympics, these young players were still fourteen or fifteen years old. It is the time to look forward to the Olympic champion, and of course Zhang Guan will be regarded as an idol.

But since entering the national team training camp, it is facing competition, the national team squad is only 12 people, but now there are 19 people in the training camp, which shows that there will inevitably be seven people eliminated. And the main forces such as Da Yao and Roughly must be ironclad to stay in the team, and this ironclad stay team almost takes up seven or eight places, so the other dozen or so people will compete for four or five places, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Because of this, these young players are extremely hard working in training, and they all hope to stay until the end through their own efforts.

The first two days of the training camp are mainly basic training, and Coach Younas is also to let the players slowly enter the game through basic training, and slowly get familiar with each other, so as to prepare for the cultivation of tacit understanding in the future.

There are many basic training programs in basketball. Warming up is essential every day before formal training, and athletes often jog in circles around the basketball court and then do some stretching movements.

Afterwards, formal training items should be carried out, such as cross step, pulley step, forward and backward step, forward and backward move step, retreat and defense, back turn step, get rid of the step and other steps in the step training; The vast majority of passing training is practiced in groups of four, and the center receives the pass to have one more pass in the center position; In the defensive training, the full-court 1VS1 backhand defense is more trained, and some area defense, joint defense, and co-defense will involve the tactical system in the official game.

Others, such as dribbling training, layup training, shooting training, and rebounding training, are also considered collective training programs, and players in any position must also participate.

In addition to group training, there are also sub-training, where the center trains the center, the striker trains the striker, and the defender trains the defender.

In addition to group training and classification training, there are also some auxiliary training, which are often targeted, such as the full-court four-stage sprint, and the requirements for defenders are definitely different from those for centers; Another example is to walk with weights, and the requirements for inside players and outside players are also different. For example, there is a training in traditional training to hold teammates, who is divided into a group with a big center of more than 200 pounds, it will be wonderful, and the picture of running all over the field with Da Yao is very beautiful to think about.

Athletes get to know each other well and then start tactical training. This kind of tactical training is even more important for young athletes. Because young athletes are certainly much less than older players in terms of technique and experience, they must better integrate into Younas's tactical system if they want to stay.

For example, several veterans such as the men's basketball team have been training with Coach Younas for four years, and have also participated in important events such as the World Championships, so they must be very familiar with Younas's tactical system, while young athletes certainly do not have this advantage, they have to relearn a new tactical system, so this is also a test of their ability to learn and understand basketball tactics.

Learning and understanding alone is certainly not enough, you also need to be able to use it to be effective, and the best way to test the effectiveness of tactical use is, of course, to have an intra-team match.

So the men's basketball training team ushered in the first intra-team confrontation practice game, and for the young players, this is their first test. (To be continued.) )
