Chapter 396 Participate in the NBA Draft

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

"As far as I know, the NBA has special rules for drafting overseas players. They define an overseas player as any amateur or professional basketball player who has settled outside the United States. It doesn't have to be a professional player."

"What about the age? Are you not overage?" Zhang Guan asked.

Zhuge Wenbo shook his head: "No. The NBA stipulates that overseas players who reach the age of 22 are automatically eligible for the election. For overseas players who are under the age of 22, if they want to participate, they need to be over 18 years old and must be selected before the draft. 45 days to provide written notice to the NBA."

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

"No, but you can announce this news to the public in writing or through the media, which is equivalent to a disguised announcement." Zhuge Wenbo said.

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

Zhuge Wenbo waited for a while, then said: "I think you should participate in this year's NBA draft, at least it will help our current situation."

"Current status? What do you mean?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Now public opinion and many fans are questioning your qualifications to participate in the men's basketball team. If you participate in the NBA draft and are selected by the NBA, it will relieve the pressure of public opinion. The NBA is still very influential in the hearts of fans, and you can be selected by the NBA. , It is also a kind of recognition. At least it can increase the media and fans' recognition of your identity as a player." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"That's true. But I'm afraid that someone will say that I spend money to buy the draft, or spend money to enter the NBA." Zhang Guan then added: "Just like I just started playing tennis last year, everyone can say that I am Spending money to get into the Australian Open!"

"It will definitely not happen in China. It is not easy for our country's players to enter the NBA. Even if they are not well-known players, as long as they are selected by the NBA, the public opinion will be dominated by positive reports. Public opinion in this regard We don’t need to intervene in the guidance, and the TVB Bureau will naturally control it. But, foreign media will definitely say so.” Zhuge Wenbo showed a confident smile as he spoke, and continued: “But I Don't worry, I believe you will slap them in the face with your grades!"

"That's good! Brother Wenbo, I will trouble you with this matter. I will participate in this year's NBA draft." Zhang Guan said.

...

The next day, the news that Zhang Guan announced his participation in the 2008 NBA Draft spread all over the country.

"Zhang Guan is still participating in the NBA draft? Does he really think he is a basketball player?"

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

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

"You see Zhang Guan's physical fitness is so good, if he goes to play basketball, he should be very good."

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

"As Zhang Guan is such a big star, he must not be aimless. He should really know how to play basketball. If he doesn't know how to play basketball and then participates in the NBA draft, it must be a big joke."

There were all kinds of derogatory and mixed voices, but this time the public opinion is finally in a better direction. Many people think that since Zhang Guan has the confidence to participate in the NBA draft, he should be able to play basketball. Maybe he can play basketball well. Very good.

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

The NBA season is not over yet, so Dayao and Ah Lian did not participate in this training camp, while the other 17 people participated on time.

Zhang Guan is not familiar with all the players participating in the men's basketball training camp. For example, Da Da, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, etc., Zhang Guan is more familiar, but Li Xiaoxu, Liu Xiaoyu, Ding Jinhui, Zhou Peng, etc. are even 20 years old. Less than young players, Zhang Guan has hardly dealt with them.

In the eyes of these young players, Zhang Guan is both their idol and a competitor.

Four years ago, when Zhang Guan became a blockbuster and won the 100-meter sprint championship in the Athens Olympics, these young players were still 14 or 15 years old. It was the time when they dreamed of being an Olympic champion, and of course they regarded Zhang Guan as their idol.

But now that they entered the national team training camp, they faced competition. The national team's roster only had twelve people, but now there were nineteen people in the training camp, which meant that seven people would inevitably be eliminated. And the main players such as Dayao and Dashou must definitely stay in the team. This kind of people who definitely stay in the team have almost taken up seven or eight places, so the other dozen or so people will compete for four or five places. The competition is incomparable fierce.

It is precisely because of this that these young teenagers have worked extremely hard in training, and they all hope that through their own efforts they can stay until the end.

The first two days of the training camp are mainly for basic training. Coach Jonas also aims to let the players gradually enter the game state through basic training, and gradually become familiar with each other, so as to prepare for the cultivation of tacit understanding in the future.

There are many basic training programs for basketball. Warming up is essential before formal training every day. Athletes often jog around the basketball court and then do some stretching exercises.

Then we need to carry out formal training programs, such as step training to train cross steps, pulley steps, forward and backward steps, forward and backward moving steps, retreating defenses, back turning steps, escape steps and other steps; Most of them are practiced in groups of four, and the center forward needs to pass the ball in an extra center position; in defensive training, 1VS1 backhand defense is practiced more in the whole court. The tactical system will be involved in the official game.

Others, such as dribbling training, layup training, shooting training, and rebounding training, can also be regarded as group training programs, and players regardless of their positions must participate.

In addition to group training, there are also sub-discipline training, center forwards train center forwards, forwards train forwards, and defenders train defenders.

In addition to group training and classified training, there are also some auxiliary training, which are often targeted, such as the four-stage sprint, the requirements for defenders are definitely different from the requirements for centers; For example, when walking with a heavy load, the requirements for inside players and outside players are different. For example, in the traditional training, there is a training with teammates hugging and walking. It would be wonderful for anyone to be in a group with a big center who weighs more than 200 pounds. The picture of running around the stadium with Yao Yao in his arms is very beautiful. .

Athletes get to know and understand each other through training, and then start tactical training. This kind of tactical training is more important for young athletes. Because young athletes are definitely lacking in technology and game experience compared to older players. If they want to stay, they must better integrate into Jonas' tactical system.

Several veterans, such as the men’s basketball team, have trained with Coach Jonas for four years, and have also participated in important events such as the World Championships. They must be very familiar with Jonas’ 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 definitely not enough, you need to be able to use it to be effective, and the best way to test the effect of using tactics is of course to come to a team match.

So the men's basketball training team ushered in the first confrontation practice match within the team, and for young players, this is their first test.
