Cai Nan coded out the manuscript overnight and sent it back to the headquarters of China Sports News in BJ, and after the editor of the headquarters reviewed it, it was published in the newspaper on the third day.

At that time, because of Yao Ming's login, the NBA was popular in China, and the well-known stars such as Iverson, Carter, and Kobe Bryant were familiar to young people, and the sales of newspapers with basketball information at the time also increased a lot. Especially for high school and college students, it has become extremely common for them to buy newspapers to learn about their favorite sports.

After Yang Di's news was first published in China Sports News, many people paid attention to it.

Who is Yang Di? I've never heard of it at all!

Can an amateur player who hasn't played in any games be able to participate in the NBA draft? Many fans have opened their eyes, but at the same time, doubts have followed.

"It's supposed to be just a spoof, right? The probability of being chosen is like Mars hitting the Earth. ”

"It's really embarrassing, I don't have any chances, and I went to the United States to participate in the NBA draft, and I want to be slapped in the face?"

"I don't understand why this person suddenly appeared, but I still pay more attention to Xue Yuyang."

There is too little information, although Cai Nan has helped Yang Di blow a wave in the news, there will still be a lot of distrust in the early stage. The ripple effect is that more Chinese media have begun to pay attention to Yang Di, and a large number of follow-up reports have appeared, albeit mainly in the form of newsletters.

When Yang Di communicated with the family, the younger brothers and sisters in the family excitedly told him about it.

At the same time, Jones helped Yang Di submit a new round of tryout applications, this time, he applied for a pre-draft tryout directly from the standpoint of participating in the NBA draft, which is different from the previous in Sacramento or Philadelphia.

……

Early June, Chicago, United Center Arena.

Five years ago, the successful Jordan retired bravely and bid farewell to basketball for the second time. Heroes such as Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Luke Longley, and Tony Kukoc also left, and the Bulls dynasty collapsed, and the Bulls entered a completely rebuilding era.

The current head coach of the team is the "invisible supporting role" of the Bulls' first dynasty - Bill Cartwright, who is 2.16 meters tall and is known for his bizarre free-throw posture. In the 01-02 season, when the team started the season with a 4-23 loss under Floyd and Bill Berry, Cartwright took over.

Last season, the Bulls had just 30 wins, and Cartwright, as head coach, felt a heavy load.

So an ordinary draft player tryout like this is not a famous joint tryout or something, and he also quietly appeared by the stands in the stadium and observed silently.

"Smack!"

Yang Di pointed his finger and touched the previous section of the tall device, "3.51 meters." ”

"Today's young people have very good jumping power, basically they can run and jump, and they fly well." Meyers laughed and said to Cartwright.

"This little guy is...... Asian? Cartwright was a little unconvinced, because Yang Di's skin was a little dark, different from the traditional skin tone of ordinary Asians.

Mayers had the information in his hand, took out a piece of paper and handed it to the head coach, "A Chinese player, called Yang Di, big forward." ”

Cartwright glanced at Meyers and briefly skimmed through the information.

"The overall physical quality is average, and as a young interior player, the strength is still good. The rest of the shooting test, dribbling test, agility test and other ability tests are very average. ”

"Among the players in the draft, the level of the middle and lower levels." Meyers is very pertinent.

"The general manager is a little interested in this player, I heard that he has won the best player in our second division in Chicago before, and he is a street player."

Cartwright's brow furrowed even tighter.

……

Yang Di changed into a black vest, and his opponent was a white vest.

This year, Chicago not only has a prized No. 7 pick in the first round, but also has three draft picks in the second round, and this open trial has attracted a large number of players who participated in the draft to come and test. But most of them are players outside of the 60 on draft prediction sites.

There was a short black player of about 1.85 meters in front of him, and he smiled at Yang Di.

"Big man, I'll pass you the ball when you get back." The black player was very friendly, which made Yang Di, who contained doubts and discriminatory eyes, suddenly feel a long-lost warmth and was very moved.

He honestly said: "I'm not good at offense, you have a chance to attack on your own, I'll help you grab rebounds." ”

"My name is Mo Williams, what's your name." The black man said with a smile.

"My name is Yang Di, I'm from China, you can call me Dick Yang."

"Wow, cool name, I remember you."

The two of them chatted very well after changing into vests, and then it didn't take long for three teammates to come after the physical test, only Yang Di was an inside line among the five, and the remaining four were outside players, Williams was the shortest and was assigned to the point guard position, and one of the remaining three was a 1.93-meter dual-energy guard, and two two-meter-old swing guards.

Officials on the pitch put five people into play, and the White Vests were ready.

There are two inside lines in the team with white vests, a 2.13-meter white inside line from Europe, and a black big forward, but the black big forward is only 2.01 meters tall and belongs to the short and stout inside line. The rest had a few miscellaneous Combine, all of them in their 20s and 21 years old.

At the start of the game, the black team served first, and Mo Williams was skillful in possession.

After dribbling through the half, he dribbled under his crotch twice in a row, dodging to avoid the opponent's ball, Yang Di was about to mention the three-point line to block him, but he didn't expect him to pass directly, immediately braked sharply, and ran to the basket.

Williams made a pull-up jumper from mid-range, unguarded, and hit.

"Good ball, so good!" Yang Di exclaimed, this guy's shooting speed is so fast, among so many players he has seen, only Devin Harris, who used to shoot at the University of Wisconsin, has such a fast shooting speed.

The white team attacked, and the point guard who was passed beckoned to him, signaling the inside to come out and block the dismantle.

"Although it is still mainly singles, in this training camp, the point guard still tries to show his organizational skills, even the simplest high-post blocking and pick-and-roll tactics." Meyers said with a smile.

Yang Di has one arm in both arms, and according to his previous experience in the second league, he directly promoted the delay defender.

After Williams arrived, Yang Di retreated in small steps, but at this time, the white team point guard boldly made a through pass, wanting to bypass Yang Di and hang to the center who went down.

Yang Di estimated that he touched it, jumped up in retreat, and broke the ball.

He stabilized his body, dribbled quickly, grabbed the basketball with both hands and gave it to Williams, and then ran to the front first, Williams passed back to Yang Di, Yang Di rushed to the frontcourt, three steps in the three-point line turned into two steps, and grabbed the ball with one hand and dunked.

"Bang dang!"

The basketball fell and was bounced off Yang Di's chest, and there was a round of applause at the scene.

"Good shot!" Yang Di ran back and high-fived Mo Williams, and with a reliable teammate, it felt completely different to play the ball.

"Good defensive awareness." Cartwright, who was watching the game from the side, praised it.

The white team continued to attack, and the black power forward dribbled the ball into the black team's same position, and made a hook shot in a strange position, and the basketball smashed into the basket and bounced into the middle.

At this time, Yang Di stuck the white big center behind him, and when the rebound bounced, he had already leaped into the air, grabbed it with one hand, and easily grabbed this backcourt rebound.

Switching offense and defense, Yang Di ran outside the three-point line to block Williams.

This time the attack, Mo Williams did not break through in advance, and only after Yang Di did he block and dismantle, he bypassed, after Yang Di covered with both hands, the defender lost his position, and Yang Di immediately went down as soon as he blocked and played.

The center didn't save, and Williams shot straight after a one-on-one cover.

The speed of the shot was still fast, the basketball was not thrown, and it hit the front line, at this time, the center had already noticed Yang Di who was rushing to grab the rebound, and reached out to pull Yang Di, but Yang Di flexibly dodged for a while, and the two people hit each other shoulder to shoulder.

"Bang!"

The 2.13-meter-high center felt that it was not a person but a train that was passing by him, and a huge force came from the side, causing his center of gravity to be instantly unstable.

"Smack!"

Yang Di, who rushed up, jumped up in the air, grabbed the rebound with both hands, and then dribbled the ball to the ground with both hands, "bang", stepped out with his right foot and stepped on the floor of the restricted area, grabbed the basketball with one hand and flew up.

The white big center behind him wanted to defend at this time, but he had no position at all, and compared the distance of Yang Di's rapid take-off, and gave up the plan to turn around and block.

"Bang!"

A loud sound echoed in the arena of the United Center, and Yang Di grabbed the basket with one hand, causing the basketball hoop to shake.
