"How?" Holding the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Yang Long still gave Anna a chance, or rather, gave himself a chance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You weren't drafted by the team," Anna paused, "I honestly don't know why, it's weird." With your performance, you shouldn't have been picked by a team. ”

"But that's what happened." Not being selected by the team is definitely something that Yang Long did not expect, with his NCAA performance, even if he is a player who relies on the system, but as a team's substitute is worth the risk of any team. The current situation is really fucking up, which reminds Yang Long of Jeremy Lin. The senior Jeremy Lin is a guard who averages 16.4 points, 4.4 blocks, 4.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and is the first player in Ivy League history to score 1,450 points (1,483), 450 rebounds (487), 400 assists (406) and 200 steals (225). Yang Long didn't know if his skin color betrayed a message of distrustworthiness that no team had taken him with a damn second-round pick.

"Now you're not eligible to play in the NCAA, and there's only one way you have left to get into the NBA, and that's to sign as a free agent."

"What's your idea?"

"I can try to contact the team for you, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

"Thank you so much." Trying to join the NBA as a free agent is also something that Yang Long has been thinking about these days. He is already planning to contact a new agent who will put him in touch with teams who are willing to interview him.

"I'll let you know as soon as there's news."

Surprisingly, Anna didn't make Yang Long wait too long, and he got a reply from Anna on the third day after the call. And the team that Anna contacted also made Yang Long surprised and delighted.

"How did you do that?" Yang Long was really surprised, he didn't expect that Anna would be able to make things ignite so quickly when he didn't have hope.

"You've forgotten that we're all business schools? Giggles, "Anna is also in a good mood at this time, it should be said that she has lived up to Yang Long's expectations, "Actually, Team Rocket also has some interest in you, I just set up a line for you." ”

"How the hell did you do that, I still don't understand?"

"There are two reasons for this:

The first is that the Rockets drafted Da Yao from China with the top pick last year, and they tasted the sweetness in just one season. They know how big the Chinese market is, so they are willing to give you a chance for the benefits they may have in the future. This is also a strange thing for me, China is the third largest economy in the world, and if I were the manager, I would be willing to choose you just because you are from China.

The second reason is that you have to thank your fellow countrymen. I still have some research on Chinese culture, and your relationship has reached the point where it is enough to influence the direction of a thing. When Da Yao learns that you are interested in joining the Rockets, you understand that he is willing to help you.

In fact, I didn't do anything, I just handed over your intentions and materials to Team Rocket. ”

"It's as simple as that?" This Nima ...... Yang Long scolded in his heart, and he was even more disdainful of the team that missed him, and even a college student who did not graduate saw the Chinese market behind him...... It can't be that he didn't honor the scouts and was smeared by the scouts, right?

"Hehe, it's as simple as that. But don't be too happy, because the Rockets are just giving you a chance, and whether you can grasp it depends on your own performance. I have faith in you, though. As a student of Duke, Anna knew that Yang Long had a certain strength.

"I'll do my best!"

The ups and downs of life are so nonsensical!

These stupid people! Yang Long despised in his heart that he didn't choose his own team, especially the Pistons and Grizzlies, when he participated in a separate tryout, Yang Long even thought that his selection was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Yang Long thanked Anna from the bottom of his heart, although if he found other agents, he would probably be able to get some team interview opportunities, but as a 'friend' who has almost no contact, Anna can take the initiative to help herself. China pays attention to the grace of dripping water, and Yang Long began to have an idea, if he can gain a foothold in the NBA league, then why not let Anna be his agent?

Picking up the basketball, Yang Long went out, he was going to the basketball court to prepare for the interview for the Rockets. The opportunity was in front of him, Yang Long did not allow himself to miss it, and then he remembered the words of Coach K, if he wanted to seize the opportunity, he had to train, train, and train again.

Team Rocket, Yang Long is excited when he thinks about it, he is too familiar with this team. Become Da Yao's teammate? It's something that excites Yang Long just thinking about it, and thinking about it, two players from China playing side by side......

――

Indifferent people, thank you for looking down on me - Yang Long suddenly began to like this song.

Yang Long found that his basketball journey was a journey of proof, he proved that he has what it takes to join the varsity team, that he can be a good starter, and what about the next one?

Prove that you can play in the NBA?
