Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

After Duncan was selected, highlights from Duncan's college days were playing on the big screen.

There is one thing to say, Duncan's style of play in college was quite explosive.

Flying catches, hard dunks, they have everything.

Unlike in the NBA in the future, the highlights are endless loops of these shots: hitting the board, touching the head, hitting the board, touching the head, laughing, and the big windmill

The draft continues. With the second pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Keith Van Horn, known as the second Larry Bird.

As the man second only to Duncan in the draft, Van Horn's popularity in the beautiful country is obvious.

In order to mislead the Spurs to choose Van Horn before, Auerbach even blew him up.

But the old thief Wei Qi smiled slightly: "You are a bad old man, I believe you are a ghost!"

Just because old thief Vicky doesn't believe it doesn't mean the others don't believe it.

No way, the name of the second Bird is too loud.

Let alone 1997, even in 2006, the title of "the second Larry Bird" is still quite bluffing.

Don't you see that the old rascal didn't choose Roy, Guy and others in 2006, but he chose Adam Morrison, the so-called heir of Bird, with the third overall pick.

Just for fun.

In fact, Van Horn should have been a member of the '96 Golden Generation.

But because he wanted to take care of his toddler, he temporarily decided to postpone his participation in the draft until 1997.

Take a look, what is a good man?

This buddy really has nothing to do with the world, and he only cares about his family wholeheartedly.

This also seems to be doomed, his career will not have much success.

Of course, it's not that the man from the Gu family can't play basketball well, but that this guy has no ambitions at all.

At the third pick, Green Kai could only win Chauncey Billups with tears in his eyes.

At this time, the flounder on the stage couldn't have imagined that he would be jumped off a building by Lukai after only half a season, and he would start his wandering career since then.

There is no way, and it is not to blame that Green Kai does not pay attention to Billups. The main reason is that Green Kai's goal has always been Duncan. For Duncan, Green Kai played a frenzied 15 wins and 67 losses last season.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Stern to let Green Kai get Duncan.

In this war with Auerbach, Stern will never allow himself to fail.

So Billups was just a spare tire from the beginning.

How did you say that sentence?

Some people were born in Rome. And some people are born as cows and horses.

Thinking of Billups' ups and downs in his career, Li Ang couldn't help but glance at Ben beside him.

The world is really impermanent.

Undrafted in 1996 and No. 3 in 1997, who would dare to believe that they finally got together.

In this way, until the seventh overall pick. The Toronto Raptors, which have just been established for only two years, won the best high school student of the year, Tracy McGrady.

Although the draft pick has changed, the person selected by the Raptors has not changed.

When he heard Stern pronounce McGrady's name, Big Ben almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Why did you choose a girl's name?"

According to the bet, Li Ang won 50 dollars from Da Ben.

Looking at the knife music in his hand, Li Ang couldn't laugh.

no

How did it become the seventh overall pick?

Could it be that his arrival affected the results of the draft lottery?

That's right, even with a probabilistic thing like the draft lottery, no one can guarantee that the result will be exactly the same even if it happens again.

Based on the record of the Raptors last season, whether it was drawn seventh or ninth, it is actually within a reasonable range.

Thinking about it now, the situation in the novel where the draft picks are almost the same as the original history every year is extremely unreasonable.

This is a bit fucked up, which means that in every future draft, there may be more or less deviations.

Although this deviation may not be too large, sometimes, this small deviation is enough to bring about a huge change in history.

Think about it, what would happen if the Knicks became the seventh pick in the 2009 draft and took Curry early?

If the Heat had won the No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft, where would Rose go? The combination of Wade + Rose is enough to attract another superstar to join.

If the Supersonics won the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, would they still choose the king of temperament?

Li Ang swallowed his saliva, thinking about it in horror.

The basketball world I am about to face may be completely different from the one I am familiar with!

"Come on, one day, I hope I can see you shaking hands with Stern on TV, Lee."

After watching the talent show, Da Ben turned off the TV and encouraged his not-so-serious little junior.

Li Ang also wanted to be selected, but at the moment

He hasn't even found a place to play next season.

After training the next morning, during the lunch break, Oakley called Li Ang into the locker room alone.

Li Ang thought that Oakley was interested and wanted to practice alone with him.

As a result, when he entered, he found that Oakley was smoking a cigar, posing as a big boss.

"Li, did you watch yesterday's draft?"

"Well, I've seen it."

"Are you envious?"

"What's the use of being envious, I am now"

"Well, I was just about to ask you, have you received an invitation from an NCAA Division I team?"

"Not yet." Li Ang shrugged. He also knew that his hope of entering the first-level league was very slim.

Although I have made great progress now, no one knows. College scouts will only evaluate Li Ang based on his performance in high school.

"It doesn't matter, to tell you the truth, Big Ben and I didn't play a Division I game that year either.

So it's not the end of the world if you can't go to the first-tier league for the time being, but I don't recommend you to play in the second-tier league either.

Eating shit, thinking that when I played in the second-tier league, I could also be selected with the ninth overall pick.

But Daben played so hard in the second-tier league, but eventually lost.

After losing the draft, he went to play abroad and was cheated by those sons of bitches. He didn't get a penny of salary, and it took a lot of effort to return to the NBA.

And because you were undrafted, your brother's salary last season was only $250,000.

In this era, the secondary league is no longer a good choice.

Listen to Li Ang, I think you have great potential, you have a lot of energy, and you are good at playing basketball.

Therefore, I don't want you to take a wrong turn like Big Ben.

If you really want to play in the NBA, then I recommend you start from junior college and go to NJCAA. "

After being in contact with Oakley for so many days, this is the first time Li Ang has seen this LSP look so serious, it doesn't look like he is joking.

"NJCAA?" As a senior fan in his previous life, Li Ang also had a certain understanding of NJCAA.

NJCAA is a sports league composed of major junior colleges across the United States. According to the way Chinese people understand it, it can be regarded as a junior college league below the NCAA.

"Don't rush to refute me, I know, with your grades, there is no problem in wanting to go to college.

But if you want to play, there's no benefit to going to a secondary league.

Students in the NCAA Division II league have one thing in common, that is, they can't play well.

But the NJCAA is different. There are a lot of talented players who can't go to college because of their poor grades.

Players who play in the second league may never be promoted to the first league team.

But for players who play in NJCAA, as long as they pass their studies, they will immediately be invited by a first-level league team. The scouts in the first league are all staring at the NJCAA.

Your grades are definitely no problem, so what you have to do is very simple - play a dominant role in NJCAA, and use this as a springboard to enter the first-tier league!

In this day and age, NBA teams will pay attention to you only if you enter the first-level league to play, and you may be selected. It is too difficult to play in the second-tier league and want to be selected.

I know it's a risk, in fact, if I wanted to, I could have put you in Virginia Union University, my alma mater and Big Ben's, and let you play in the NCAA Division II.

But again, the secondary league is no longer an option.

From a basketball standpoint, NJCAA is your best path right now! "

Li Ang looked at Oakley, and was a little surprised to be honest.

He really didn't expect the old oak tree to help him make suggestions.

Li Ang was just one of the many students in his training camp, and he was probably the poorest one.

Oakley: It doesn't matter if you are poor, the key is that you can fight! Thinking about the picture of you beating up that flying pig in the future, I will be happy~

Oakley has this kind of personality. As long as he thinks someone has potential, he doesn't want to be buried.

It was the same with Da Ben back then, and it is the same with Li Ang now.

If it weren't for Oakley, Big Ben might still be giving haircuts in some hair salon.

Can't think of it? Apart from playing basketball, what Ben is best at is cutting hair.

NJCAA sounds like it is very low-level, but in fact, Li Ang really knows a few stars who have been played from NJCAA.

The first to bear the brunt is Jimmy Butler, this guy who has an inexplicable relationship with the old hooligan, he played from the NJCAA to the NCAA Division I, and then entered the NBA to become a star.

Jae Crowder had the same mental journey. After winning the NJCAA championship, he entered Marquette University, and then successfully gained a foothold in the NBA.

In addition, Mr. Tony, whom Li Ang is familiar with, was also typed from NJCAA.

As mentioned in the old pigeon's "Inside Line", Tony was known as the number one player in the United States at the time.

In short, the probability of entering the NBA from the NJCAA is indeed much higher than the probability of entering the NBA from the secondary league.

"Think about it, and discuss it with your family. If you think it's good, I can arrange a school for you right away.

But remember, boy. With all kinds of kids in the NJCAA, there are probably three reasons why people go to junior college. First, poor academic performance. Second, poor sports performance. Third, bad boy.

Do you know what I mean?

You have to keep your mission and purpose in mind at all times, don't learn badly.

Alright, that's all I'll tell you. Go rest for a while, there is still training in the afternoon. "

Li Ang nodded and left the dressing room. He knew that he had reached a crossroads in his life.

This choice is extremely important to him.

At this time, far away in Maryland, a middle-aged man looked at a report card handed over by his assistant and sighed.

"So, he didn't pass the exam again?"

"Yeah, just a little bit off, but still not up to par."

"Hey, top grade, top grade scum." The middle-aged man sighed.

These days, why are talented players doing so poorly?

There are fewer and fewer talented players like Duncan who are both good at character and learning, and who can talk about quantum mechanics with the admiral.

It's been a year, he's been waiting for this guy for a whole year.

Do you know how he spent this year?

And failing grades means

He has to wait another year!

"Fuck, what a fuck!" The middle-aged man slapped the table angrily and smashed the report card on the table.

This person is Gary Williams, head coach of the University of Maryland Terrapins.

He took office in 1989 and began to produce results in 1994.

Since 1994, the team has led the team to the March Madness Championship for three consecutive years, but the team has been unable to go further in the championship.

The reason is that the players are not strong enough.

The division where the University of Maryland is located has well-known basketball schools such as Duke and North Carolina.

Talented players have been attracted by them. It is really difficult for Maryland to make a difference under the leadership of these two powerful players.

So, Gary Williams decided to strike first and kill geniuses in their cradles. Uh, no, he held them tightly in his hands before they even went to college.

Don't tell me, such a genius really appeared.

So Gary put the guy in prep at the University of Maryland, played on the reserve team at the University of Maryland, and worked hard on him.

And guess what? This genius didn't even get into college!

At that time, Williams had a voice in his heart-holding the sun!

I reserve all my scholarships for you, and you tell me you can't pass the exam?

No way, Gary can only send him to NJCAA for one year.

In the first year of NJCAA, the performance of that genius really lived up to expectations, it was completely random killing.

His team lost one game a season!

With his strength, there is no problem at all in the NCAA Division I game.

Just when everyone was expecting him to enter the NCAA, he didn't pass the exam this year, didn't pass the exam

Facts have proved that reading really depends on talent. That guy probably focused all his talents on basketball.

"It doesn't matter, it's good to let him play for another year. Last season, he had an impressive record of 36 wins and 1 loss in San Jacinto Junior College. If he works hard for another year, maybe he can also get a great improvement. To At that time, what you get will be a complete body of him."

Gary's assistant said so comfortingly.

Gary nodded, he had no choice but to wait.

Who made him a genius?

The guy known as the "self-disciplined version of Iverson", it doesn't matter if he waits for another year.

Of course, next season, I must tell that guy to study hard.

Knowledge changes destiny, genius!

Gary has begun to look forward to the next season, but at this time he never imagined that next season's NJCAA will be unexpectedly wonderful.
