Yang Rui contacted Jerry Colangelo, the president of the American Basketball Association, and it became clear why they were reluctant to go to training camp.

It's not that the U.S. Basketball Association looks down on the Chinese youth team, but that the U16 U.S. Championship ended as early as mid-June. Now that they are training together, the American players are purely warming up for the Chinese team, who would want to do this?

Not much attention was paid to the kids because of the NBA Finals going on at the time, and even if they beat Mexico 130-31 on June 13, tying three U-16 records and breaking four U.S. U.S. all-time records, it would only make a small headline of the news.

The young Mexican children were beaten and had a mental breakdown, and the basket on the playing court was about to be crooked by these precocious black boys, and the Mexican head coach exclaimed after the game: "How does this look like a group of middle school students playing?" ”

Training with these strongmen will definitely be of great help to the Chinese youngsters. As for the Chinese Basketball Association's careful thinking of not wanting to spend money, Yang Rui didn't pay attention to it at all, and he took it over.

Helping Chinese basketball improve is a sentiment for him, a little for his compatriots, and by the way, he can also brush up his reputation. He sponsors a training camp, and the media will certainly cover it, and in this way, he can legally reach out to future potential stars and lay a good emotional foundation for future cooperation in the NBA.

Yang Rui said that he would pay for the training camp of the U16 players, and Colangelo immediately called a meeting of his men, and it took less than an hour to settle the matter, and the training camp was in Los Angeles, using the Clippers' training ground.

Officials are not stupid, and this is also a advantage for American players. These people are fortunate enough to be mentored by the Pope of basketball in high school, and maybe there will be several stars in the future.

The U.S. Basketball Association only needs to send email invitations to the players, limit the number of places, and find a substitute if they don't want to come.

As soon as I heard that it was a training camp sponsored by Yang Rui, of course young players were willing to participate, which was a shortcut to fame.

It has been more than a month since the finals ended, and the media often reports Yang Rui's news, no matter what he does, he can attract attention, and his achievements are the talk of people after dinner.

Not only sports news, but also entertainment news often talk about Yang Rui. Recently, "Despicable Me 2" was released, and it won the box office champion again, winning hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office, and it is predicted that the global box office will eventually exceed $1 billion.

The 12 players who had previously participated in the U16 US Championship all volunteered to participate in the training camp after receiving the email, and they were full of energy to perform well. The Basketball Association also invited one more person to be selected, who missed the U16 World Championship due to injury, and now he has recovered from injury and has a great future.

As long as they can be praised by Yang Rui, their chances of entering the NBA in the future will be greatly increased. The short-term benefit is that when high school is over, you can go to a prestigious university to play.

Yang Rui looked at the list sent and found several acquaintances in his previous life.

Jayson Tatum, a small forward with a height of 203CM, was drafted by the Celtics in 2017 and shot accurately.

Tatum became famous as soon as he entered the league, because the Celtics originally had the No. 1 pick, which they traded from the Nets that year, but they gave the No. 1 pick to the 76ers in exchange for a third-overall pick and a protected 2018 first-round pick. This trade is because with the top pick, the Green Army only wants to choose Tatum.

Josh Jackson, who joined the Suns with the fourth pick in the first round, is a 203CM swing man, has super explosive athleticism, excellent running and jumping, both strength and agility, and he has many explosive dunks in this year's US Championships.

Harry Giles, a highly mobile center, joined the Kings with the 20th pick in the first round in '17, and is now only 202CM tall, playing power forward, and can grow taller, and performs well in small-ball tactics.

The simple-looking Thomas Bryant, a 208CM-tall center, joined the Lakers in the second round in 2017, is a meat shield center, signed a two-year contract, has good health, and has potential to be tapped.

The most famous one in this list is the injured player specially approved by the Basketball Association, "My Brother in Society" - Lonzo Ball!

Yang Rui also received a list of Chinese players, Zhang Xiaolei, Wu Yucheng, Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Yanhao, Wang Zixu, Fu Hao and so on.

Yang Rui is completely unfamiliar with these names, he was only in charge of the NBA section in his previous life, he didn't watch many CBA games, he vaguely remembered the names of some CBA stars, and he didn't deliberately remember them in the book when he was reborn.

To be selected to participate in the training camp, it must be the best of China's young generation, and Yang Rui is ready to give them some advice to help them avoid detours.

Even without the blessing of rebirth memory, Yang Rui has been an NBA coach for 16 years from 97 to now, and his vision is no longer comparable to ordinary coaches, and he can provide players with the right direction of development.

On August 8, the training camp officially opened, and the players arrived in Los Angeles one after another.

Surprisingly, not only the U16 players from both countries, but also several young players from the Clippers also came, with Curry, Draymond Green, Thackeray, Crabbe, Middleton, Wesley Johnson and others all volunteering to be free sparring partners.

Last season's fringe players were looking to get up and get more playing time, having previously teamed up together to play Summer League and won all of them.

The U16 players will not be very strong, and they are adult players who are suspected of bullying children, but they want to take every opportunity to perform in front of Yang Rui.

Green and Middleton have been particularly positive, and Yang Rui specifically mentioned their names in an interview with the media, believing that they have the potential to become All-Stars. They want to succeed as quickly as possible, rather than being complacent after being complimented.

The new Wesley Johnson cherishes this opportunity the most, he has long forgotten that he was the fourth overall pick in the draft, and he does not have any fights, and intends to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with his teammates.

Stephen Curry, who is already an All-Star, didn't come here exactly to join in the fun, because he brought his younger brother Seth Curry with him. Seth, who had just returned from injury, had previously participated in the NBA draft and was unfortunately undrafted.

2013 was a small year in the draft, and Seth didn't even mix in the second round, which was so miserable that he couldn't compare with his brother at all.

Stephen wants to use this way to promote his younger brother and let Yang Rui help coach for a while, or look at Seth's strength and consider signing him to the Clippers in the future and playing side by side.

It's certainly not going to be next season, and the Clippers are already full of 15 players. Fortunately, Seth doesn't expect to gain a foothold in the NBA next season, and is willing to go to other teams to experience and play in the development league. It doesn't matter if you delay a little time, their whole family believes that Yang Rui has the ability to turn a stone into gold.

Yang Rui knew that Seth had potential, and they both inherited Daddy's soft wrists and accurate shooting.

In his previous life, Seth started the 16-17 season with the Mavericks, averaging 29 minutes per game, contributing 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 48.1% from the field and 42.5% from three-point range. Unfortunately, he will be out indefinitely next season due to a left tibia injury.

And what Yang Rui cares about the most is, why is this baby's appearance so much different from his brother? He was tempted to ask, "Are you really Stephen's brother?" How do you look like his uncle? ”

It's not an exaggeration at all, except for the mouth, the two have different facial features, unlike brothers. Seth laughed and his eyes and eyebrows fell into figures, looking very unenergetic, like a profiteer who wanted to go to the wine table to discuss business and get drunk to sign a contract.

Many Clippers players who went abroad on vacation also considered whether to fly back to participate in the training camp, and Yang Rui sent them a message on the Internet, not forcing the training, and continuing to rest. Especially Livingston and Nash, who have potential injuries, must rest more, and they have to limit their playing time when the new season starts.

Enough people came this time.
