NBA World Mall

The next day, Mao Dabiao came to Li Tuanjie early in the morning, saying that he wanted to take him to meet the current basketball team coach in the school.

...

"Old Turner, this is what I told you about the super basketball genius imported from China. Don't worry, with him, our school will definitely... well, it will definitely not lose so badly..." Mao Dabiao was embarrassed Said.

Li Tuan glanced at the coach named Turner in front of him, a typical white uncle, with a shiny forehead on his half-bald head...

"Haha, I'm finally looking forward to this day, good! This height looks like a top basketball player. It's great, Mr. Mao, don't worry, I will definitely lead our Giraffe team to great success!" Old Turner looked at with a smile Li is united and full of joy.

Li Tuanjie was directly confused, the Giraffes? Are you sure you're not kidding me? The name of this team is too random...

Seeing the shocked look on Li Tuanjie's face, Mao Dabiao explained with a smile: "Brother Li, this team name is just a code name. You don't need to pay too much attention to it. Besides, our team name is pretty good, Giraffe, foresight, Great! You know, most of the NCAA team names are strange, what is the name of a team... By the way, it's called the Pitch Heels, can you believe this team name?..."

The pitch heels? The level of this team's name is simply against the sky...

(This is the real team name, not made up by Dahei. Well, the full name is the North Carolina Asphalt Heels, which is the home team of the old hooligan Jordan... So, from the perspective of Dahei's naming level, it is quite High……)

...

After introducing Li Tuanjie to the old coach Turner, Mao Dabiao left.

Li Tuanjie is not a person who takes life seriously, otherwise he would not have such a good relationship with Xia Longwen. As soon as Mao Dabiao left, he chatted enthusiastically with the old coach Turner.

At present, Li Tuan's main purpose is to learn more about the team he joined called the Stanford International Giraffes...

Of course, Li Tuanjie also wants to know more about the situation of the NCAA. After all, in the current domestic environment, it is really difficult for Li Tuanjie to obtain detailed information about the NCAA.

...

After some conversation, Li Tuan was completely shocked!

Before coming here, Li Tuan knew that there were 29 teams in the NBA, and the NCAA, as the cradle of the NBA, would definitely have more teams, but he never expected that there would be so many!

The NCAA has close to a thousand teams!

What is the concept of a thousand teams? ! This means that there are tens of thousands of players!

And how many of these tens of thousands of players can join the NBA every year?

Two rounds of draft, 60 spots, excluding some spots occupied by international players, and then excluding some players who were selected but not signed by the team, the NBA will absorb at most forty NCAA players in a year!

Among ten thousand people, there are only forty lucky ones! One can imagine how difficult it is to enter the NBA!

For a moment, Li Tuanjie was a little desperate. Originally, he knew a little about the NCAA, thinking that there were only dozens of teams in the NCAA. Among these dozens of teams, Li Tuanjie was confident that he would succeed. Pay attention to him!

Now Li Tuanjie doesn't have such strong confidence. What a joke, there are nearly a thousand teams!

Moreover, what is even more deadly is that the NCAA men's basketball program is divided into three levels!

The Stanford International Giraffes are in the lowest third-tier league!

The lower the level, the less attention it will naturally receive, which means that Li Tuanjie's chances of entering the NBA league will decrease a little...

Of course, according to the old Turner, if Li Tuanjie can lead the Giraffes to achieve dazzling results, there will definitely be many scouts paying attention. At that time, Li Tuanjie still has a chance to enter the NBA.

"It's a headache. I'd better find a chance to ask Bennett about this at night. Anyway, this guy has been in the NBA for many years, so he must know a lot..."

...

After introducing the situation, Coach Turner took Li Tuanjie to meet the current Giraffe players.

how to say? The only impression these future teammates gave Li Tuanjie was that they were short...

Among the ten players, Li Tuanhe visually estimated that the tallest player of the yellow race was at most 195 centimeters, and most of the rest of the players were around 1.8 meters...

You must know that the scale of Stanford International University is extremely small, and there are less than 500 registered students in total. Excluding some who don't come to class at all, there are only 200 to 300 people left!

After cutting off half of the girls, there are still more than a hundred men left...

Most of them are rich second generation or official second generation in Asia. Will they focus on playing football? Obviously unlikely.

In addition, the Stanford International Giraffes, as a team in the third-level league, are not eligible for basketball scholarships at all, and naturally there are very few American players joining.

It can be said that it is not easy for the Giraffes to gather ten players!

The ten players are not very old, they are all young people in their eighteenth or nineteenth year, so they became acquainted as soon as they met and introduced themselves enthusiastically to each other.

"Brother Unity, hello, I am also Chinese, my name is Huang Yongshan, I will give you more advice in the future..."

"Bro, hello, my name is Brandon Wright, welcome to the Giraffes."

One Huang Yongshan and one Brandon Wright are the players who impressed Li Tuanhe the most among these ten players.

After talking in detail, Li Tuanjie found out that he and Huang Yongshan were really destined. Both of them were from military families. Although Huang Yongshan didn't talk too much about his family background, Li Tuanjie could also guess that it was definitely not easy.

As for Brand Wright, a typical black teenager, he is the captain of this giraffe team. He is only 1.78 meters tall, but he looks extremely strong.

"Okay, boys, Li Tuanjie joined the team today, and we are going to play a 5V5 full-court training in the team in the afternoon, let everyone understand each other's strength!" The old coach Turner is very satisfied with Li Tuanjie, so he also has some Can't wait to see Li Tuan's prowess on the court.

"Today is the second year for our giraffes to join the NCAA league. I hope we don't repeat the tragedy of last year. Come on everyone!" Li Tuanjie's joining undoubtedly gave old Turner a lot of confidence. ...Well, it will definitely not be as miserable as last season's loss...

Last season, the Giraffes played a total of eight games in their divisional league, losing eight games and losing eight. They averaged only 52 points per game, and lost an average of 27 points per game to their opponents...

Thinking of the tragedy of last season, the team members were embarrassed. Their Giraffe team has been recognized as the soft persimmon of their small third-level league, and anyone can pinch it twice.
