NBA: Starting CBA system

But it was not a verbal agreement. He signed a guarantee that he could not contact any team from now on, would not accept any tryout invitations, and could not even play in front of the public before the draft to expose his strength.

Jiang Hao understood his happiness. The first pick in the second round, the only player the Heat had this year, and the player they wanted to select was the Heat, a team with a large amount of traffic!

He was accompanied by huge exposure and various advertising endorsements. The whole of Croatia would be proud of him.

In the words of later generations, James has gravity. Even if the rookies selected by the team where James is, James' fans will always pay attention to them.

Jiang Hao has nothing to envy. For him, the draft is just a vain title. It's enough to play in the NBA.

If he is selected with the first pick in the second round, he will be blown up regardless of whether the Chinese media is developed or not.

China is not Croatia. Before he can play well, he may not be able to shoot commercials.

Besides, Jiang Hao himself prefers the story of the undrafted player's counterattack. It's always the most fun to play the pig and eat the tiger.

Boyang cried with joy. This was the third time he had met Juwan Howard. The first time was the joint tryout in New York half a month ago, the second time was the Heat's individual tryout, and the third time was today, the Heat's multi-person tryout.

The Heat and Jiang Hao only had contact for one day. Needless to say, they would leave the precious draft pick to Boyang, who knows him better. The Heat is now lacking a three-point shooter in any position. With James and Wade, two SSS-level breakthrough players, you can have a meal as long as you shoot accurately.

Boyang is actually a sure thing to be selected. Other teams can't waste a draft pick to select an unknown number that has not been examined much.

Reggie is too dazzling. He is an Atlantic Coast League star player. Compared with Boyang, his talent is blindingly visible.

The Heat knew that they would definitely not be able to select this popular rookie who has been called Little Westbrook, so they didn't keep him today.

He came to the Heat because he wanted to come, but people can't help themselves in the draft. He can't fall into the second round.

The remaining three players got a three-year contract in the Development League, which was a long-term development for the Heat.

Jiang Hao didn't know these three people. Riley and Spo really looked down on short guys like Thomas. No, Thomas was old, and he didn't need him to play offense.

So, if we talk about immediate combat power, what did the Heat see in me today?

After being happy, Jiang Hao also thought of a question. Everyone knows that the home team only selects players who can be used.

What role will he play in the next season of the Heat? ? ?

Chapter 10: System Reward Mechanism! I'm more than that!

Chapter 10 10: System Reward Mechanism! I'm more than that!

15 minutes ago.

Heat President's Office.

Jaylen Williams knocked on the door anxiously.

"Come in."

Jaylen Williams hurriedly opened the door and entered. Riley was sitting in the boss chair, crossing his legs, lighting a cigar and soaring.

Unexpectedly, there was a black man soaring on the guest sofa.

Short and thin, wearing a jacket and suit, and sunglasses, it was Rich Paul whom Jaylen Williams had seen frequently recently. Jaylen subconsciously frowned when he saw him there.

If Jiang Hao could recognize this guy here, he would be a world-famous sports agent, a figure written into the agent textbook.

This Rich Paul also watched the rookie competition with the Heat uniform team in the afternoon. He is LeBron James' agent and a good buddy that James absolutely trusts.

Jaylen Williams has always been confused. Why does this agent always interfere in the Heat's team affairs?

Before James came last year, no agent had ever dealt with the Heat uniform team so frequently. Wade's agent did not have such a high status.

"What was the result?"

Riley obviously did not mind Rich Paul listening in, and asked after taking a puff of cigar.

Jaylen Williams reported directly:

"The age has not been changed. The data was retrieved from the NBA New York rookie database, and relevant information was also found from the Chinese database."

Jalen Williams answered with certainty that the NBA official would have the registration information of rookies every year, and the ID number in the photo of Jiang Hao's elementary school graduation certificate was found in the Chinese database, and it was also written that he was born in 1992, so it was impossible to change the age.

No player knew that he could play professional basketball in elementary school.

"Okay, then these five people are confirmed, Richie, what do you think?" Riley pointed to the position of Richie Paul with a cigar head with sparks.

"Okay, that's it."

"Well, Jaylen, tell Juwan to notify him that the tryout is over today, and everyone has worked hard."

"Not hard, not hard, I'm leaving first, President Riley, Mr. Rich."

Jalen Williams didn't have the classic hehehe in front of his boss. After knowing that Jiang Hao had a contract, he went out with excitement and hurried to find Juwan Howard.

"So, Rich Paul played a role?"

Jaylen Williams thanked Rich Paul for a reason, but he didn't expect the team to trust this "outsider" who had only been with the Heat for a year

After telling his old friend Juwan Howard about this, Juwan Howard laughed:

"Do you think Riley trusts him? Riley trusts the players behind him!"

"If you were Durant's agent, you would be very confident. Rich Paul = LeBron James."

"Yes, the status of a superstar is now much more important than the president or head coach."

"Have you not seen the Cavaliers? The boss has become the puppet of LeBron's team. We just hope that Mr. Riley will not follow in his footsteps."

"That's unlikely."

"As long as the record is good, of course there won't be any problems. We just have to do our job well." The tall Juwan Howard patted Jaylen's shoulder with a folder with a smile in his eyes.

Originally, it was impossible for the agent to appear in the Heat's internal workouts, but since he is LeBron's agent, it was fine.

His opinions represent James's opinions, so who can refuse to listen to his thoughts on the future appearance of the league? Who dares not to listen?

Pat Riley also had no choice but to make LeBron James unhappy and make plan-B, then the Heat would be in vain.

In his eyes, Wade is not important. James is now the core of the Heat!

Today, Rich Paul indeed "intervened" in the Heat's rookie selection during James' contract period from the perspective of benefiting James.

"He is suitable for practicing as a human shield. If the Mavericks lose a bench forward, why not do it."

This is what Rich Paul said to Riley after Jiang Hao's afternoon game. That is to say, with "James' approval", Riley would make such a quick decision in the conference room.

A one-year two-way contract is a waste for the team. It is basically impossible for this kind of player to have a chance to play. After one year, he will be forgotten by the NBA, and new "little people" appear, and Riley is numb.

How come there are so many frog prince stories in the NBA? There is only one John Starks!

(Note: John Starks was undrafted in 1988. During the Knicks period, he became the first undrafted All-Star in NBA history under the guidance of Pat Riley, who was still the head coach at the time!)

Giving a contract to a undrafted player like Jiang Hao is a matter of turning a blind eye to him. It is still worthwhile to exchange this for James' team's trust in the team management.

But in fact, Bojan Bogdanovic is the one who hesitates the most.

As an old-school OG from the last century to the present, he has always liked players who can defend.

So many years of experience have made him prefer Jimmy Butler, a tough outsider with a tough playing style.

But Jimmy's offense is really too stretched compared to Bojan Bogdanovic, and he has no advantage in terms of wingspan. Therefore, although the entire Heat team knows that Bojan is not good at defense,

It's just that James and Wade called for strengthening their outside shooting ability at the end of last season, and Rich Paul also liked Bo Yang's three-point shooting very much on the spot, so it was decided.

According to Rich Paul:

"I believe in your devilish training ability, you can practice defense and everything, right? Maybe he can develop into a marksman like Miller!"

"Well, what do you think this JIANG is used for?"

Contrary to Bo Yang, Riley didn't care at all how mature Jiang Hao's offense was. In his eyes, Jiang Hao just had a little bit of defense.

Maybe it’s a defensive skill unique to Chinese basketball?

This comes back to what Rich Paul said above:

Suitable for use as a meat shield drill, which also leaves the Mavericks without a bench striker.

It coincides with the ideas of Pat Riley and Spoelstra.

The meat shield that Rich Paul talks about is not the meat shield of a traditional big center, but a meat shield used by the team to simulate opponents, just like Battle was used as O'Neal by the Spurs during training.

I can't play, but it's useful during training! ! !

After the Finals, the Heat are in urgent need of a person with a "soft" body but good physical test data to serve as a human shield, preferably not a black person.

Bo Yang actually counts a little bit, and even less so Jiang Hao, who seems to be playing good defense.

In fact, it is to simulate a "human shield" opponent against the Mavericks.

The post about LeBron James being pinned to death by a mountain in Puerto Rico is still on the front page of the forum.

Nowitzki, Kidd, Barea, Peja, Brian Cardinal! ! !

The Mavericks have too many white players who look like they can't defend well, but are surprisingly able to guard against the Heat's shock wave.

These "soft and hard" players give the Heat a lot of pain, and in this year's draft year, there are very few players of this type, so Jiang Hao's appearance is just right.

The next arrangements for these five players here are left to the coaching staff headed by head coach Spoelstra.

The management is responsible for selecting good people, and training them is the responsibility of the coaching staff.

Spoelstra also came over to talk to the five of them individually. Everyone was called into the head coach's office for an in-depth exchange of ideas, about family matters and future plans.

Jiang Hao also had close contact with the Heat's talented young coach. Of course, these five people didn't know why the management headed by Riley chose them.
