Five days later, Yang Di received a new main quest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"NBA Draft."

"The NBA Draft is a fast-track to the NBA, and the potential of the host has caught the attention of some NBA teams to participate in the NBA Draft in June and earn a spot. Reward for mission completion: Start a brilliant career in the NBA, 500 villain points, mission failure penalty: deduct 10 indefinite attributes. Mission completion time, NBA draft ends. ”

Yang Di was slightly surprised that this task was promulgated so quickly.

He now has a simple understanding of the operation of the system, knowing that even the main task is related to his growth in reality, and the main task of the NBA draft has long been expected in his heart, but it is only May now, and there are nearly two months left in the time of this task, which gives him full preparation.

On the other hand, it also proves that this task is not easy.

This year's NBA Draft is recognized as a big year for drafts, and now that the NCAA Championship is over, Syracuse University's MOP and super small forward Carmelo Anthony has publicly announced that he will participate in this year's NBA Draft. In addition to this, LeBron James, from St. Mary's High School in Ohio, who announced his desire to continue his studies in college and participate in the NBA draft, is an excellent point guard?

Scouts from various NBA teams have also focused on superstar rookies like these.

Thursday, May 22.

The 13 NBA teams that failed to make the playoffs gathered at Madison Square Garden in New York for a draft draw that attracted the attention of NBA club owners and fans around the world.

In total, the NBA officially announced a total of 163 players participating in the NBA draft, a total of 117 high school/college/graduate school players, and 46 international players.

Yang Di is naturally among them, and his information belongs to the least group of all players who participated in the draft.

His definition is that he belongs to "foreign players" but is not an international player, and belongs to a small group of basketball players who participate in the NBA draft on their own at the age of 18-22 every year, because they did not participate in the American College League that year, so they are identified as "foreign players", and in principle, they are allowed to sign up for the draft, reflecting the open-mindedness of the NBA, but in fact, 99.9% of such nameless players will not be selected.

And international players like Yao Ming. They all go through the formal process, with the support of the agent and the national sports committee of their country, have a certain strength, and sign up after experiencing the assessment.

One side is the root is red, and the other side is a complete wild road.

The draw opened with the sound of Stern's vicissitudes, and 13 teams, or owners, or star players, or owners of relatives, or team management, came to the front and drew numbers in turn.

The Cavaliers, who both have a 17-65 record in the regular season, and the Nuggets have the same best chance of getting the top pick, with a 22.5 percent probability of each, and in the end, the Cavaliers got the top pick, becoming the first team in the NBA to get the top pick in the regular season in the past 13 years.

Then the Pistons got the list of the eye, and the Pistons were ecstatic, you know, they can be the team with the first regular season record in the NBA Eastern Conference this year! The draft pick was acquired by the Pistons from the Grizzlies in the Thorpe trade six years ago, but Thorpe failed to play a big role and was traded to the Wizards after playing less than half a season with the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies were so heartbroken that they vomited blood.

Then came the Nuggets, who won the lottery......

……

Dark Night, Los Angeles, California.

Cai Nan is a reporter of the international department and basketball department of China Sports News, after graduating from university, he found this job in the newspaper in the Chinese department, but the work has been tepid, there is no improvement, and now it is only an assistant level, and Su Qun, a basketball reporter in the United States, is the example and goal he has been striving for.

The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the basketball team is focused on the teams that are fighting each other in the East and West. He has little seniority, and important reports naturally don't let him go, and the line he gets is about the recent NBA draft.

After the draw was over, Cai Nan carefully took the list of players participating in this year's draft and looked at it, lit a cigarette, and looked for the so-called news points.

Suddenly, a player's name and nationality caught his eye.

"YANGDI, CHINESE PLAYER?"

His heart was beating violently all of a sudden......

"In addition to Xue Yuyang, there is another Chinese player participating in the NBA draft? Who is this person? How did he end up in the NBA Draft? ”

Yao Ming completed an outstanding rookie season with the Rockets, and the NBA's focus on yellow basketball has changed dramatically, and the focus on Asian players is growing. For example, Xue Yuyang, the NBA has reported many times as early as when he was not yet 22 years old, and many teams have expressed interest in Xue Yuyang. But this Yang Di has never heard of it before?

Cai Nan quickly logged on to the NBA's official website, looking for effective information on the constantly flipping computer screen.

"Official information Yang Di (Chinese name), age June 28, 1984, height 2.08 meters, weight 255 pounds, power forward, game experience: none."

Cai Nan was messy in an instant, what does "none" mean by the competition experience? Amateur players? It can't be April Fool's Day, someone is joking with him, right?

His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and then there was no information about Yang Di on the network at all, as if this person appeared out of thin air.

"It's unbelievable that there should be such a thing."

Cai Nan was amazed, but at the same time, the young man's mind made him have the idea that he wanted to take a closer look at this mysterious Chinese player and see what was going on.

He used his account on the official website, and then posted a post on the forum, "Ask for information about this year's Chinese draft player Yang Di!" ”

A reply immediately popped up: "What are you talking about, man." ”

"I have information on the Chinese" Xue ", do you need it? ”

......

Cai Nan posted this post with the mentality of trying, and there were very few people who replied to him, and he was quickly pushed to the back by various video highlights and various exclusive analysis reports of "James" and "TJ Ford" in the draft section, but when he was disappointed, there was really a netizen who replied to him seriously.

"I know some information about this Yang Di." A netizen named "Grass Music" replied to him.

"That's great, man, can you add a friend to talk to!" Cai Nan typed down quickly on the keyboard, nervous and apprehensive in his heart.

"No problem." The other party is very bold.

The two of them used their accounts to have a private chat.

"I've played with Yang Di before, he's an unimaginably big guy, he's full of energy on the court, he's always passionate," Grass Music said. ”

"You've played with him? Are you also a basketball player? ”

"Yes, but I'm an amateur street athlete, unlike Dick Young, he's young, he's talented, he's got a lot of potential."

Cai Nan sighed, a little disappointed, he didn't expect this Yang Di to be really a player from an amateur game. If you don't have regular racing experience, this can be very detrimental to your career.

"Grass Music" became more and more excited, "He is very good at grabbing rebounds, especially in the front court, his strength is amazing, and he is like a beast on the court." I love being team-mates with him because he was our star player in Maddison at the time and led us to win a lot of games. ”

"Madison? The capital of Wisconsin? ”

"Yes, but then I heard that he went to Chicago, and we didn't see each other very much at that time, but I also heard that he became an invincible player in Chicago's second division."

"Second Division? Is that a regular professional game? ”

"Dude, I'm afraid not, the second league is a little bit more advanced than our street game, but at the end of the day it's still a loose, amateur league with uneven players. It's not like a regular professional basketball league. ”

"Grass Music" typed very fast: "But then he is also extremely powerful, I guess you are a scout for some NBA team, you should go to the scene to watch his game once, you will be what I said tomorrow, he is a person on the court who can change the situation of the game, he has a unique momentum." ”

Cai Nan was amused in his heart, it turned out that this netizen regarded himself as an NBA scout, but then again, it was not easy for Yang Di to have such a friend who supported him.

He probably has the framework of the draft in mind - "Born out of nowhere, the NBA dream journey of the street kid Yang Di".

Cai Nan shook his head, feeling a little pity in his heart, no media has paid attention to this player until now, and the probability of him being selected may not be high, if it weren't for the identity of the Chinese nationality and the fact that he deliberately went to find his information, I'm afraid this kind of player would be the legendary soy sauce party, but now it's okay, I can help him blow a wave, it can be regarded as an exclusive report, and the news points of this year's draft are also available.

He didn't know that it was because of this manuscript that his whole life changed dramatically.
