Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Before 2011, only six Chinese were selected in the NBA draft. They were Song Yang (No. 67 overall pick in the third round of 1987), Wang Zhizhi (No. 7 overall pick in the second round of 1999), and No. 1 overall pick in 2002.

Yao Ming, Xue Yuyang, the 27th overall pick in the second round of 2003, Yi Jianlian, the 6th overall pick in the first round of 2007, and Sun Yue, the 40th overall pick in the second round of the same year.

After Sun Yue was waived by the Knicks and Yao Ming missed the new season due to injury, the hope of Chinese fans fell on Yi Jianlian, even though Yi Jianlian only averaged 5.6 points and 1.3 rebounds in 17.7 minutes per game for the Wizards.

data.

Of course, many people know that eggs cannot be put in one basket, so they try to find solace in another direction.

In this way, Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American player who was undrafted in 2010 but successfully signed a contract with the Warriors after the summer league and is also a student at Harvard University, has entered the field of vision of some fans.

However, after paying attention to a player with a minimum salary who only averaged 2.6 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, he was always a little unconfident when talking to others, so another group of people set their sights on a player who rarely paid attention in the country.

, the reserve pool of talents for the NBA - NCAA, that is, the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

The basketball league is just one of the NCAA's ball sports.

Of course, in this beautiful country where sports are popular, it does not affect the fans' love for basketball at all. Even in the month of the NCAA tournament that implements a single-elimination format, which is often called "March Madness", the fans are crazy about it.

The ratings contributed can rival or even exceed the NBA Finals.

There can't be any surprises in the single-elimination format. The team that wins all the conversations with all the teams and wins the championship in the end must be the team with a complete victory record. This is the charm of Crazy Three.

Hu Yingzhe was one of them. He loved basketball and was on the school team. During the off-season, he wanted to review the games played by Mad San and look at these foreign college students who were more than a little better than him with his semi-professional eyes.

, memorizing a few names is enough to brag with your classmates.

The browser was playing the resources that Hu Yingzhe had tried his best to find. In the almost 360P standard definition video, he looked at the people at the University of Connecticut who finally lifted the NCAA trophy. He frowned and patted his roommate on the shoulder with some uncertainty.

asked:

"Daniu Danniu, come and see, my newly found resources..."

"What category?!"

An excited head stretched out from the upper bunk and looked at Hu Yingzhe's notebook:

"The teacher Okita you found for me last time was really good..."

"What is this?"

Yu Guohao, nicknamed "Daniu", frowned and looked at the blurry video.

"Doesn't it look like a normal movie?"

"Bah, do you know what a normal movie is?"

Hu Yingzhe sucked him in the mouth and said in an iron-clad tone:

"This is a video of the University of Connecticut, which won three championships this year, winning the trophy. Did you see that the person who won the MOP (Outstanding Player of the Final Four) was their main guard Komba Walker."

"Yeah?"

Yu Guohao's eyes lit up. He knew his friend's eyesight, so he asked curiously:

"Does he have the potential to be a first-rounder this year?"

The annual draft is temporarily fixed at 30 players in the first round, 30 players in the second round, and a total of 60 players. Of course, the rankings are justice, No. 1 pick, and even lottery traffic, which is far higher than others.

Hu Yingzhe was stunned for a moment and replied quickly:

"He has already obtained the MOP. I feel like he has the strength to hit the top three."

"right!"

Yu Guohao nodded with deep understanding, and remembered the blurry face in the video deeply in his mind, so that he could brag to others about his ability to recognize heroes.

"Huh?"

Yu Guohao was a little unsure, so he looked at his friend:

"Don't you feel that Comba looks a bit like last year's No. 1 pick, John Wall?"

"Yeah?"

Hu Yingzhe turned around and continued to examine the dark appearance of the person in the video.

"Hi!"

Hu Yingzhe waved his hand, leaned back, and said to Yu Guohao on the bed:

"You have completely forgotten about me. What I want to tell you is not about Komba."

"What's that?"

Yu Guohao climbed down from the upper bunk and walked behind Hu Yingzhe in his slippers.

Hu Yingzhe clicked on the corner of the video and said:

"Don't you feel that this person's appearance has a bit of yellow characteristics?"

"true and false?"

Yu Guohao squinted his eyes and looked to the right side of the video. Unfortunately, the blurry picture quality limited his performance. The skill of having a horse in front of him but no horse in his heart could not allow him to see clearly.

millimeter.

"I can't see clearly."

He said nonchalantly:

"Besides, so what, don't you think he can still be selected by the team?"

Hu Yingzhe thought that he had just memorized all the players who played, and indeed did not see the player who seemed to be of yellow race, so he said with approval:

"That's right. Now, as long as you're not selected in the first round, you probably won't have a chance to make an appearance in the NBA."

They stirred up a lot and woke up Yu Guohao's lower bunk. A slightly bald head stuck out and asked:

"Isn't there a second round? Why don't you have a chance?"

Naturally, Yu Guohao would not miss the opportunity to show off his knowledge reserves and answered first:

"Young man, you don't understand. There seem to be 60 people in this draft, but first-round or even lottery players have more opportunities than second-round players. First-round players can sign 4-year rookie contracts, but second-round players can only

Signed for 2 years."

"Most of them only play in the team for five or six minutes, and after a year they have to play abroad."

The second child then thought of Sun Yue. This Lakers legend only scored 6 points in the NBA, which was his career total of 6 points.

Hu Yingzhe nodded and continued:

"None of the players who won the MVP were second-round picks. Although this fact is cruel, it is very realistic. You will know it."

The second child scratched his sparse hair and asked:

"Then Lao Hu, what's the point of asking if he's a yellow race?"

"Is it better to hope that Dayao will recover from his injury and be in time for next season?"

When Hu Yingzhe heard this, he was really stunned, then nodded and said:

"Yeah, now it seems that the only Chinese who can gain a foothold in the NBA is Dayao."

"Mei Lian is even a bit embarrassed, let alone others."

He turned to look at the screen, moved the mouse, clicked the cross in the upper right corner, and turned off the video.

"Yao Yao is also 30 years old and suffering from injuries. In the future, Chinese basketball will only rely on Yi Jianlian..."

"Yeah, I don't know if Sister Lian can carry her!"
