Zhang Guan remained silent, as if thinking. Then he asked: "There should be certain rules for the NBA draft. I'm not a professional player. Can I participate?"
"As far as I know, the NBA has special rules for the drafting of overseas players. They define overseas players as any amateur or professional basketball players who have settled outside the United States. They do not have to be professional players."
"What about your age? You're not overage, are you?" Zhang Guan asked next.
Zhuge Wenbo shook his head: "No. NBA stipulates that overseas players will automatically be eligible to participate in the draft when they reach the age of 22. For overseas players who are under 22 years old, if they want to participate in the draft, they need to be over 18 years old, and they must be in the draft before the draft. 45 days' 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 the news to the public through writing or the media. It is also a disguised notification." Zhuge Wenbo said.
Zhang Guan fell into deep thought again, still weighing the pros and cons.
Zhuge Wenbo waited for a moment and said, "I think you should participate in this year's NBA draft. At least it will be helpful to 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 can alleviate the pressure of public opinion. The NBA is still very influential in the hearts of fans, and you can be selected by the NBA. , is also a kind of recognition. At least it can increase the media and fans' awareness of your identity as a player." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"That's true. But I'm afraid someone will say that I spend money to buy the draft, or spend money to enter the NBA." Zhang Guan then added: "Just like when I first started playing tennis last year, everyone said that I was It’s the Australian Open that I spent money to enter!”
"It will definitely not happen in China. It is not easy for players from our country to enter the NBA. Even if they are not well-known players, as long as they are selected by the NBA, public opinion will be dominated by positive reports. Public opinion in this regard We don’t need to intervene in the direction, the Radio and Television Bureau will naturally control it. But, foreign media will definitely say so." Zhuge Wenbo showed a confident smile as he spoke, and then said: "But I don't know. Don’t worry about your children, I believe you will slap them in the face with your results!”
"Okay! Brother Wenbo, I'll trouble you on 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 still wants to participate in the NBA draft? Does he really think he is a basketball player?"
"First he entered the men's basketball team, and then he 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 could he have the guts to participate in the NBA draft!"
"You see Zhang Guan's physical fitness is so good, he should be very good if he goes to play basketball."
"I think this is hype. Is there really a team that chooses Zhang Guan?"
"For a star as big as Zhang Guan, he definitely won't do it without aim. He should really know how to play basketball. It would be a big joke if he participated in the NBA draft without knowing how to play basketball."
There are various voices of disparagement and praise again, but this time the trend of public opinion is finally better. 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. Very awesome.
While the fans were having heated discussions, the men's basketball training camp also began.
The NBA season is not over yet, so Dayao and Arab League did not participate in this training camp, but the other 17 people participated on time.
Zhang Guan is not familiar with all the players who participated in the men's basketball training camp. For example, Zhang Guan is relatively familiar with the players such as Su Da, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, etc., while others like Li Xiaoxu, Liu Xiaoyu, Ding Jinhui, and Zhou Peng are even twenty years old. There are less than young players, and Zhang Guan has almost never dealt with them.
In the eyes of these young players, Zhang Guan is both their idol and competitor.
Four years ago, when Zhang Guan became a sensation and won the 100-meter dash championship at the Athens Olympics, these young players were still 14 or 15 years old. When they were looking forward to the Olympic championship, they would of course regard Zhang Guan as their idol.
But now that they have entered the national team training camp, they are facing competition. The national team's roster only has 12 people, but now there are 19 people in the training camp, which means that seven people will inevitably be eliminated. And the main players such as Dayao and Yu are definitely determined to stay on the team. Those who are determined to stay on the team account for almost seven or eight places, so the other dozen or so people will compete for four or five places. The competition is extremely fierce. fierce.
Because of this, these young players work extremely hard in training, and they all hope to stay until the end through their own efforts.
The first two days of the training camp are mainly basic training. Coach Yunus also aims to use basic training to allow the players to slowly enter the game state, gradually get familiar with each other, and prepare for the development of tacit understanding in the future.
There are many basic basketball training programs. Before formal training every day, warm-up is essential. Athletes often jog around the basketball court and then do some stretching movements.
Afterwards, formal training items need to be carried out. For example, in pace training, various steps such as cross steps, pulley steps, forward and backward steps, front and back moving steps, retreat steps, back turning steps, escape steps, etc. must be trained; while passing training is the most important Most of the exercises are conducted in groups of four, and the center needs to have an extra center position to pass the ball; in defensive training, 1VS1 backhand defense in the whole court is trained a lot, and some regional defense, zone defense, and assist defense are all practiced. In formal competitions, tactical system issues will be involved.
Others, such as dribbling training, layup training, shooting training, and rebounding training, can also be regarded as group training projects, and players regardless of position must participate.
In addition to collective training, there are also subject-specific training programs, where centers train centers, forwards train forwards, and defenders train defenders.
In addition to collective training and classified training, there are also some auxiliary trainings. The auxiliary training is often targeted, such as four-section sprinting. The requirements for defenders are definitely different from those for centers; and For example, walking with weights has different requirements for inside players and outside players. For example, in the traditional training, there is a training that involves carrying teammates while walking. It would be wonderful if someone is paired with a big center who weighs more than 200 pounds. The scene of running around the court with Yao Yao in his arms is very beautiful when you think about it. .
Athletes get familiar with and understand each other through training, and then begin tactical training. This kind of tactical training is more important for young athletes. Because young athletes are definitely lacking a lot more than older players in terms of technology and game experience. If they want to stay, they must better integrate into Yunus' tactical system.
Several veterans, such as the men's basketball team, have been training with coach Yunas for four years, and have also participated in important events such as the World Championships. They must be very familiar with Yunas' tactical system, but young athletes certainly do not have this advantage. , they have to re-learn 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 also need to be able to apply it to be effective, and the best way to test the effectiveness of tactics is of course to have an intra-team match.
So the men's basketball training team ushered in the first intra-team practice match, and for the young players, this was their first test.
